Maomao was in big trouble just a while ago… Someone had targeted her, planned an attack on her for months. Why? Well, as an apothecary immune to most poisons and with a sharp and clever mind that always managed to solve the murder cases that plagued her master Jinshi, she was a threat to certain outlaws. Someone had followed her around in the inner palace, waiting for the time she would be at her most vulnerable, and planned to dispose of her at once. Thank goodness you were around and noticed the tension. Thanks to your great intuition, you were able to save Maomao from getting kidnapped and from probably having much worse stuff happen to her…

It was probably the mixture of sleep deprivation, hunger and the fact she was about to be shoved into a bag and sold… again. Of course she’d be frustrated. She couldn’t even go to her room and rest, it had to be investigated for more traps, which could take up to hours…
