In ‘Corpse Fungus,’ Jinshi investigated Concubine Jin’s death. Maomao learnt from Guen about Tao, a palace woman who disappeared before her retirement. Jinshi consulted Maomao on a literacy program for servants and questioned her about poisonous mushrooms, ordering their removal from the northern forest.

At Jin’s funeral, Concubine Son accused her of past wrongdoing, and Maomao linked a poisonous fungus to the case. With the eunuchs’ help, Maomao uncovered Jin’s buried corpse and revealed that Tao had been impersonating her before being killed by Jin’s maids.

This includes the imposter who previously attempted to poison Lady Gyokuyou, who could still be active. The upcoming episode will likely explore these unresolved dangers while revealing more about the secrets surrounding Loulan’s position and influence.
