The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 8, Empress Dowager, commenced with a focus on Maomao, who was accused of catching bugs in another consort's garden. However, Maomao denied these allegations because she knew who the real criminal was. So, she went out, looking for Shisui's whereabouts.

Due to her mysterious nature, no one knew where Shisui was. However, after some bribing, Maomao found a spot where Shisui might appear. So, she started patrolling this area, and Shisui finally popped out of a bush to catch bugs. Maomao then cleared the misunderstanding with her. While these two were chatting, Empress Dowager appeared.

As expected, her aura was too bright, and both girls couldn't face the empress. However, as much as Maomao wanted to avoid the empress, she met her the next day as the Empress Dowager visited Lady Gyokuyou's house. Moreover, the reason behind her visit was to meet Maomao and request an investigation due to the female protagonist's reputation.

After the meeting concluded, Empress Dowager requested Maomao to inquire whether she had cursed the previous Emperor. To gather more information, Empress Dowager arranged a tea party so that a lady-in-waiting could brief the reason behind Empress Dowager's suspicion. After the briefing, Maomao accepted the investigation but on one condition, which wasn't specified.
