■Volume 16 of the manga
Weekend has passed since the emperor's successful surgery, and winter is fast approaching.
Thanks to a senior medical officer taking over post-operative care,
Maomao's busy daily life has returned to normal.
Then, one day, Yu's face changed as she read a letter from the senior medical officer.
"Something terrible might happen."
The letter stated that the number of patients developing blisters was increasing.
Maomao had a bad feeling, and her fears were confirmed. "Smallpox outbreak."
It's a feared epidemic that is highly contagious and fatal, leaving scars on the face and body.
There's no cure, and even Maomao would be unable to find one.
If the infection spreads, it's said that entire villages could be closed off.
A ray of hope shines in this desperate situation with the words of Yu, who had previously recovered from smallpox.
"I owe my survival to that doctor."
The only private doctor Maomao knew of who was knowledgeable about smallpox was Kokuyo.
Kokuyo was hired after an interview with medical officers, and was dispatched together with Yu to a rural village with a population of several hundred where the infection was spreading.
Then, one day, Maomao is approached by Jinshi, who suspects that the daughter of the head of the Empress Dowager's family has placed a curse on a certain person.
The head of the family's daughter is a sickly gardenia (Jizu), the child of a concubine and the niece of the Empress Dowager.
At the Empress Dowager's request to help her niece, Nekoneko investigates,
and suspects that the gardenia may have been poisoned.
Meanwhile, as Nekoneko hears from Yu, who is struggling to prevent the spread of smallpox,
a big question comes to mind:
"Where did the smallpox come from?"
As they investigate the source of the smallpox infection, Nekoneko and her friends arrive at a shocking truth...
