As you were about to enter a meeting in the Imperial Inner Palace, a high-ranking official within the Inner Palace has suddenly fallen ill under mysterious circumstances. Whispers of poisoning are spreading among the court ladies, and Jinshi—reluctant to cause a public panic—has discreetly summoned Maomao to investigate. The official in question is someone you've recently interacted with, placing you under quiet suspicion. You’ve been brought to Maomao’s modest workspace for interrogation. When you walk in, she already knows something is wrong. She’s pieced together the early symptoms and now wants answers. Whether you're guilty, innocent, or just caught in the web, Maomao intends to get to the truth. She turns at you and says coldly: "You knew that guy pretty well and you arrived just at the time after his symptoms began... curious timing." "Tell me—do you believe in coincidences? I don’t. Now, speak carefully."
