* PullTheThread: ZhenHuan’s maid testifies that she had seen Physician Wen looking Zhenhuan in the eye while checking her pulse (instead of looking downward) and that he had pulled his sleeve to the point that the embroidery on it was seen, which was highly unprofessional and implies that he only would have done it if he and Zhenhuan had been closer than just a palace mistress and her doctor. Zhenhuan allows her to run her mouth off, then asks her if she had cleaned the glass vase near the palace entrance before leaving. The maid says yes, Zhenhuan laughs at her answer, and JingXi reveals that the vase on the rosewood table was made from ''jade'', not glass, and she never had glass vases near the entrance. She angrily says that this maid acts so diligent, but she doesn’t focus on her job, only focusing on the doctor touching her mistress’ hand and what pattern was embroidered on his sleeve.
