Luo Qing Lian gained the trust of Mu Hai Yao, but her ally, Consort Xu Ji Rou, couldn't fully trust her. Mu Hai Yao pretended that her pregnancy was unstable and confined herself to bed. Madam Rui sent someone to Langyue Court to visit Mu Hai Yao, only to discover that her maid, Ru Hua, harbored resentment due to Mu Hai Yao's harsh treatment. Ru Hua secretly replaced Mu Hai Yao's medicine with an abortifacient. Unable to bear the thought of another child perishing in Prince Xin's Residence, Madam Rui hurriedly rushed over and overturned Mu Hai Yao's medicinal soup. Seizing the opportunity, Mu Hai Yao accused Madam Rui of plotting against her. Using the recent tragedy of Madam Rui losing her child as an excuse, Mu Hai Yao took control of the internal affairs of the residence. (Source: Viu)
