All of this episode falls apart in shambles when you aren't invested in Maomao and Jinshi's relationship—which this anime does a very poor job at establishing—and how does Maomao tank a baton to the face from a man whos triple her weight? This whole thing is so melodramatic. This anime did such a poor job at establishing the two main characters' relationship that I was advocating for the guards to stop Maomao. Just more of Maomao being obnoxiously perfect in everything the plot needs.

An intense episode. Maomao got hurt but hopefully she'll recover soon... Btw, if Jinshi wasn't going to get a doctor right away, why didn't he run instead of walking dramatically? Lmao

Maomao T---T she's so brave!! I'm expecting that Jinshi will protect him but I didn't know he's in that ceremony and what ceremony is that?
The ending scene feels like a KDRAMA!!!!

Why is Jinshi just slowly walking out with Mao Mao? Why isn't he running, calling for assistance? Everyone just too stunned to do anything?

The scene reminds me of Wangquan Fugui carrying wounded Qing Tong in Huyao Xiao Hongniang

This episode got so dramatic but I loved it.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who had a hunch that Jinshi was the one doing the ceremony before it was revealed.
It felt like they laid it all out for us but then Maomao was confused to see that she saved Jinshi.

There's no way Maomao is dead. We have 5 episodes left and the manga is still ongoing. We can't have the apothecary diaries without our apothecary.
I found Jinshi slowly walking out with Maomao in his arms with the music playing to be dramatic but I didn't mind it that much. It was sweet to watch.
It's also nice to know that Maomao won't be beheaded given the circumstances. Unless the Emperor is corrupt and finds the ceremony more important than his "son."

This was such a good episode, I love when they show off their animation.

So many of these mysteries were all connected to an assassination attempt on Jinshi.....wow.

My only question is was Lakal the mastermind or not.

Wow, they finally connected the past events. Certainly elevated the show for me.

It would look like Lakan is the mastermind but I doubt this will be the case.

Lihaku came to Maomao and said something was stolen during the warehouse incident. Turns out a lot of things are connected. She explained it all to Jinshi. Upon Jinshi’s mention of Ox Bezoar, she got super excited.

Maomao figured something but it’s still not backed by proof. But just as she expected, the pillar fell. She leaped in and saved the noble, only to realise that the noble is none other than Jinshi himself. Even in her battered state, she asks for Ox Bezoar. She faints and he carries her out of the ceremonial palace. But damn, why is he walking at a stable pace instead of running.

Even after recognising who was behind her, Maomao didn’t turn to look at the face of her biological father.

went into this show expecting it to be about an apothecary just making medicine but man this show is far better than I i initially expected; I kinda thought all the mysteries she was solving were just one off instances that weren’t that important but it seems everything was connected for this one ceremony

I can’t wait to find out the rest of what’s going on

Best episode so far! The way Jinshi carried her at the end with the soundtrack playing was beautiful and is my favourite scene in this anime so far. Wow.

Wow that's a carefully intricate plan to assassinate Jinshi...

Well, I kinda understand that, that guard is just doing his job, but to hit a young girl with a club is just fcking too much! Tho, good thing that her father is there to vouch for her.

I loved how Maomao saved Jinchi's life in the ritual. He was almost a goner there...

That was Fucking INSANE. The sheer SCALE of this plan!!!

- the prince conducts ceremonies under a weighty pillar
- the pillar is held by ceremonial tools which barely hold the weight
- demote the beaurecrat who questioned the pillar's danger to working in the archives
- oversalt the manager who knows what tools are used for what
- incapacitate the replacement manager with seaweed
- noone knows what tools are used for so it gets stored haphazardly in a warehouse
- fill a nearby warehouse with flour
- give a random guard a pipe
- create a flour explosion
- steal the ceremonial tools using the distraction
- kill the craftsman who made the tool to begin with
- his less experienced sons make the replacement tool
- wait for the replacement tool to be used in a ceremony
- dead royal

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ending was indulgent. But this episode highlights a couple problems I've had, regarding Kusuriya. One of which is how much of Maomao's intelligence relies on others lacking deductive reasoning. How did no one else connect all the victims of various food related deaths all had the same occupation? If one manager after another died or became ill in the same manner, there would immediately be suspicion, given it's a prestigious position.

I much enjoy the series overall, particularly in terms of character relationships, but the detective & mystery aspect of the story has some flaws.
