Whoa sweet nineteen Jinshi 😒 I feel like his character had been a lot and maybe the reason why Maomao and him are such a good match is because both of them came from pretty messed up family--and upbringing for that matter.

There's this paper-thin difference between detective and criminal.
Xiaomao, you should stay chaotic good in the future. Don't give in to your dark side.

The current conspiracy is really interesting, even faking her death with the datura :o

Maomao returns to the Inner Palace. I hope Gyokuyou is pregnant and she will give bith to a male heir. That'd make her an official wife of the emperor.

Suirei is really an intriguing character... Cunning and insanely smart, but also mysterious. What's her endgame, I wonder? What will she do in the future? I doubt she will just go into shadows. Not after such brilliantly performed plan.

So, Jinshi still has his testicles. I figured as such.

Maomao is back at the rear palace. It's been a while.

Suirei surviving as an antagonist with a similar knowledge of medicines to Maomao is actually pretty scary. We had other revelations this episode like Gaoshun is actually Basen's dad and that Jinshi is 19! I'm glad that Maomao is finally returning to the rear palace. I'm wondering how this season will wrap up, it seems like some stuff is going to happen with the GOAT Lihaku at the pleasure district and also something happening with Loulan at the rear palace. I still don't know much about Loulan but I love her character design.

Maomao cackling like a villain really make my day, even though with her reopened injuries. Her curiosity for mysteries is amazing. the ressurection medicine reminds me of Metal gear solid, where the person can fake its death using the drug. Since the drug came from far land it mean west maybe.. so they just had to find someone who have connection to west isn't it. Hope maomao receive her ox drug as reward. Suiren must have someone she conspired with whether it Lakan or the new concubine or someone else....

From previous episode, it is hinted that Jinshi is younger than his appearance and have noble lineage as son of Ah-Duo and previous emperor. However, who is the current emperor then? His father ? My mind is confused.

Anyway, Maomao is back to rear palace as poison tester of Lady gyokuyou, she might be pregnant. Need to be careful, I smell something is coming. Maomao can escape for Lakan but he is always watching over her. It doubt if Lakan even have any bad intention to maomao but it he still repulsive to her, i guess.

Oh shit Suirei, the opening for the awaking corpse is actually her! Well certainly, she received a lot of screen time in the opening, and now its makes sense of why she's so important here, since she's the mastermind behind the ritual incident, its leading such a many factor before, damn. Not like she's working alone tho and her grand motive remains unknown since she manage to flee. But eh, let's worry about her later since its time for Maomao to return to the rear palace again.

Wait a minute, Jinshi actually a 19? And Gaoshun already become a jiji? His comment tho, he really desire to retire lmao. Well not so fast, old man. At least until Maomao dare to ask the real question, who the heck Jinshi actually is.

Talking about concubine drama always never cease to amaze me, but Jinshi actually told the truth about him drinking medicine to suppress his manhood to become a real eunuch, he's really a hardworker, huh? Thought he have no desire to women overall, turned out he just suppressing it hard with some drug lmao idk how Maomao gonna react with those fact kekw

Alright guys, Gyokuyou have a sign of having another child. Shall Jinshi wish comes true? Or there's another incident happening by Gyokuyuo amazing birth rate? And wtf with Lihaku and his delusion wish to rebuy the greatest bitch in the town? Sorry for my rude words, Maomao, but i really don't want this to end....

They managed to pin the crimes on Suirei, but more interesting is the fact that Jinshi isn't a eunuch at all. Likely royalty, at that!

So wait a sec....Jinshi isn't the Emperor's son but the Emperor PROPER? Oh my....


Also no way Suirei did this on her own, what is her motive and she is still out there. Lakan is NOT off the hook.

Maomao wakes up in Jinshi’s bedroom. Maomao explains everything to Jinshi, Gaoshun and Basen.

Maomao hears from Lihaku that Suirei suicided. But then, she suspected it and wanted to check the corpse. When she figured that Suirei escaped, Maomao laughed like a maniac, excited to know her knowledge.

As expected, Concubine Loulan is suspicious. Jinshi had been drinking a suppressing medicine for manhood, to pretend to be a eunuch. Gaoshun is old enough to have grandchildren, and Basen is his youngest son. I thought they were siblings, damn it. And man, Jinshi is actually just 19, just 2 years older than Maomao. But Jinshi is pretending to be a eunuch of 24 years old.

Oho, so Jinshi doesn’t know his true identity yet. But Maomao kind of suspected it.

Seems like Concubine Gyokuyou is pregnant, so Jinshi asked Maomao to help her out. This way, she can avoid her biological father, while also getting to taste poison.

A great conclusion to the mysteries of the past few episodes while sprinkling enough questions for future plot points to remain engaging. Apothecary Diaries' ability to combine character drama with political intrigue is almost unmatched, and this episode is a great showcase of that.

Jinshi is not who we thought he was, he is way more important and implied in some weird mess involving the emperor and other things, the things are starting to make sense instead of being random events. That woman, Suirei is very important, she is implied in all of this and faked her death in a way that left Maomao amazed, what a psycho laught btw. I wonder if Suirei has something to do with Lakan and if Lakan is involved in the plan of killing Jinshi, very interesting. I wonder if that medicine that allows you to fake your death exist or something because sounds too unrealistic that literally stops your pulse.

I feel like they're downplaying Maomao's achievement here. Did she not save Jinshi, whilst also almost losing her life? I don't even know why Basen is so pressed, if anything he should've been inspired.
