Summary
"What have you heard, my lady?"
"All sorts of things," Gyokuyou starts. "Our cat has had some interesting patients as of late. Princes, in particular."
Jinshi clenches his fists and presses them to his forehead. "An unfortunate happenstance, I've heard. I don't believe she realized who she was aiding."
"You're right, I don't think she did! She seems unwitting by the hearts she's laid to waste in recent days. Nor the workload she's no doubt rained down on your office. How similar you two are," she teases. "The Emperor informed me of the trade dispute. It is regrettable that this should be what forces us together, but there is no better time than the present. There are words to be had—words that should have been said sooner."
When he does not answer, she adds, "There was a night that you made a shocking and forward declaration. That was nearly two years ago now."
Jinshi understands the underlying question: why have you not married Maomao yet?

Summary
Even the most sharp-eyed apothecary can miscalculate.
Maomao prided herself on logic, observation, and the ability to diagnose what others overlooked. She could detect poison from a single sip and identify illness from the faintest discoloration of skin. Yet when it came to her own body, she missed the most obvious truth of all. Our Maomao still has a lot to learn.
Luckily, not every mistake ends in tragedy.

Of Daughters and Flowers by GemStoneCat

Summary
Lakan has no earthly idea what possessed him to come to the garden party, but some star smiled upon him indeed. There is but one living face in the world for Lakan to see and, though she has grown greatly since last he saw her, there is no mistaking his daughter sitting behind the honored consort. It nearly breaks his heart just to see her: in formal garb she looks every inch her mother’s daughter, down to the cunning expression on her face. She looks into her bowl as her mother would look at a gaming table, seeing many moves into the future. So he is not surprised when she announces the meal is poisoned, for he was already out of his chair when she decided to drink it.
How would the story change if Lakan had attended the spring party and seen his daughter in the Rear Palace? How does his persistence change Maomao's view of herself, the world, and her place in it? A story in which Jinshi is not as subtle as he thinks he is, but that's okay because Maomao would rather drink poison than commit a single moment's self-reflection.

Summary
“Come on Lahan, admit it,” a noisy bureaucrat from the Board of Rites teases during one of those social gatherings. “You have to be relieved that the apothecary girl didn’t choose to move in the family’s estate.”
Lahan brushes the subject aside. “I assure you our family is immensely proud of my esteemed sister’s achievements in the medical office. I can only be supportive of her decision to prioritize her career.” For the sake of boyhood, though, he relents, “I’ll admit she is a handful.”
Or: They are not biological siblings. They weren’t raised together, or in the same way. In fact, if Maomao had any say in this, there would be no family ties to speak of. And yet, at times, when certain stars align and precise cards are dealt, Fate has the La blood speak louder than their personal preferences.
Various instances of the La siblings acting like proper siblings; and other random La clan shenanigans.
