Plot summary of "The Beauty's Stratagem":
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, after the country had just been stabilized, Empress Lü returned to the palace with the Crown Prince. In the palace, they met Prince Liu Heng, son of Consort Bo, and his wet nurse (mother of Du Yun Xi). Empress Lü, seeing that Liu Heng was growing up, feared he might pose a threat to her son's position as emperor, so she summoned Liu Heng's wet nurse to the Jiaofang Palace for questioning. She then sent a poisoned powder to the wet nurse, intending to poison the crown prince.
