### Summary
The elaborate "murder mystery" orchestrated by Yona (as Ranhee) culminates in the public exposure of Imperial Consort Hyang. It is shockingly revealed that Hyang’s method for the poisoning plot involved smearing poison on her own daughter's lips, intending for Princess Seunghwi to transfer it to Ranhee with a kiss. This act of maternal cruelty solidifies Hyang’s villainy and confirms her responsibility for the original Ranhee’s past tragedy—the loss of her unborn child—generating new sympathy for the game's initial antagonist. As the political fallout from this confession begins, a stunning twist emerges: a suspicious old eunuch, present throughout the intrigue, is revealed to be the dethroned Empress Dooyak in disguise. This development dramatically escalates the palace power struggle, raising new questions about the true parentage of Princess Seunghwi and adding another layer of complexity to the psychological battle between the players and the manipulative Emperor who watches over them.
