The Unsettling Matter of the Spirit
Maomao diagnoses the case of Lady Fuyou, who was rejected by the emperor. Fuyou sleepwalks at night. Both Lady Gokuyou and Jinshi wonder what is wrong with her. The episode ends with Fuyou being sold to a military officer who was her childhood friend.
Jinshi continues to try to charm Maomao but she continues to find him repulsive. Gaoshun, one of Jinshi's assistants, warns her about making faces when she looks at Jinshi.
Thoughts
Maomao didn't actually interact with Fuyou. She only observed her from a distance. It might be inferred from the way this story unfolds that Lady Fuyou engineered her fate. It isn't clear that's the case but the thought did occur to me.
