Tense.
It seems someone finally understood Maomao's value in all of this... in a way it took too long, a handmaid being present in all of those incidents and some were very public too... but it could be that "their" movements aren't exactly free, they only got the chance now.
Happy that Rakan is having his loving moments with Fengxian, even if her mind can't entirely consciously interact with her... but I have no doubt he is giving her the best care it can be bought, at least the rest of her life will be comfortable.
But, going back to "them"... how far this "conspiracy" goes? Now we know that the old handmaids are in on it, but even if they are smart and fall in the cracks, the amount of organization this has can't be possible without outside help, the Tanuki clearly is the biggest suspect, but it is too obvious too.
Well... one way or another... now we are all on thin ice, Maomao was finally caught and whatever happens will need a lot of finesse.
