2. Episode 23 Speculation
Maomao is determined to get an upper hand on Lakan this time. She has set the stage and is prepared to execute her plan. Jinshi is concerned about her health but does not bring it up. He does not stop her from going forward with her plan either.
Lakan has no interest in other people as they are merely their positions and how useful they can prove themselves to be. However, Maomao is different, just like her mother. We got an insight into how Lakan’s mind works, and we might get to see more of his past.
3. Recap of Episode 22
Gyoukuyou is definitely pregnant, and everyone is very excited. Lakan talks about blue roses, and even though Jinshi doesn’t believe in their existence, he promises to find them. Gaoshun asks all florists about blue roses, but they don’t have them, so Jinshi calls Maomao.
Maomao immediately realized who had asked for this and decided to take on the task of finding blue roses. She asks Jinshi to build a steam room to make the roses go mad by making it seem like it is time for them to bloom.
Maomao sets up everything and personally sees everything, but the roses take too long to bloom. Her deadline is until the garden party being held in a month, and she is worried. Maomao is pushing herself too hard, but a bud finally blooms.
Maomao appears at the garden party but looks worse for wear. Jinshi presents the emperor with blue roses and garners too much attention. He can deal with lust and envy, but he can’t do anything when he can’t tell what the other people are thinking.
Lakan finds the blue roses annoying as he didn’t think Maomao would achieve it. Jinshi praises Maomao, and she reveals that she dyed the roses.
Maomao is prepared to face Lakan head-on. Lakan, who only sees everyone as go pieces, sees Maomao with the same manicure as her mother and is caught off guard.
