Comments
The current emperor did not pass the shrine but he was the only child when the former died which is why her got the throne. Jinshi would have gotten his royal blood from his dad as Maomao said the eyesight just skipped a generation. Also I don’t know if it said Jinshi was colorblind because he seems confused that that was possible but I also heard a lot of people who are colorblind don’t know they are because colors just look like that to them and that could explain why Jinshi was so quiet and didn’t ever help. Also black and white Maomao is so funny 😂

2025-02-25 15:40:28 +0000 UTCMaomao lives by the idiom "ignorance is bliss" when it comes to Jinshi. I think she purposely doesn't let herself think about who he is or anything and goes along with him being a eunuch. She just wants to have a simple life (with all her fun puzzles given to her) in the rear palace.

2025-02-25 05:00:25 +0000 UTCJinshi is the Emperor!!!! When the old man said , "be careful your majesty " Jinshi responded, "I know"....Also he could see the doors. That's what he was hiding. Jinshi is our Emperor!!!!

2025-02-25 02:51:59 +0000 UTCNope, and thank goodness, her being a concubine would effectively end the series. As Lakan’s daughter and *not gonna say it because it a spoiler* she’d be mid ranked at the very least, 3 out of 4 of the top ranked concubines would have no choice but to shun her because she knows way too much about them and they know she can make medicines and poisons. She’d have no protections against the other concubines or her own ladies in waiting who’d see her getting preferential treatment not just from Jinshi but the Emperor. And for Jinshi the only way to protect Maomao at that point would be to reveal himself and take Maomao as his personal concubine. And yes that would protect Maomao somewhat by taking her out of competition for the emperor, the royal family has access to the imperial harem but they don’t share concubines. But that present its own problems because being claimed dooms you to the imperial harem forever….as you’ll see in later episodes.

2025-02-25 02:12:45 +0000 UTCThis is random asl but this show sometimes has moments that remind me of Tantei Gakuen Q, not sure if anyone knows wtf I'm talking about but that show was fire

2025-02-25 02:00:18 +0000 UTCYeah, adult Jinshi is constantly mistaken for a woman, children by default are pretty androgynous so a particularly beautiful child is gonna read as female and we know his preferences. This scene felt so fast animated because the level of dread I felt reading the manga had me staring at each frame hoping to keep him away from that little kid.

2025-02-25 01:58:24 +0000 UTCI credit Adventure Time for me being able to solve this from the 1st time I read the manga, as soon as it was a colored coded door with red and green and a 3rd as an option I squealed. “This is for someone who’s color blind”, but it did throw me for a loop that it was used to preserve the female bloodline since color blindness is way more common in men.

2025-02-25 01:51:46 +0000 UTCSo some of my thoughts this ep. I think that while the late emperor was the only heir that survived, it might be safe to say he didn't survive unscathed from the epidemic. From the flashback it appears he might have a developmental delay of some sort (to me he appeared a little child-like, and it seemed as though he was trying to give Jinshi whatever he had in his hand). He also appeared to be afraid of Jinshi's grandma. I think the emperor's mom may have been the real one controlling things back then and that Jinshi's "mom" was looking at the emperor like that because she may hate that she was given to an emperor with no control. (I air quote mom cus I still fully believe Jinshi is the former pure consort's child. He looks WAY too much like Ah-Duo for him not to be! Idc idc that's his mama lol) I don't know if anyone else caught it, but on the final door when Maomao mentioned the green door, Jinshi said "Green?" - I think Jinshi DOES have colorblindness, but as Maomao mentioned, one can become used to it over time and forget themselves after a while. I think Jinshi genuinely didn't realize that door was green because he couldn't see it. I also think Jinshi knows to be careful cus he doesn't want anyone to get the impression that he's tryna come for the throne. I also think that while in jest, the emperor knows Jinshi likes Maomao, and may even approve, which is why he was like "you can have her" after he said he'd make her his concubine and also why that convo happened between the teacher, the emperor and jinshi at the end. I think the teacher also realized Jinshi likes Maomao and was being serious in saying they should bring her into the family, but that Jinshi is gonna have to do more to protect her because new bloodlines aren't well received and it'll put not only a target on his back but hers as well. The author really cooked with Apothecary Diaries! I don't know if they have other series but I NEEEEED more from them once it's over! They cannot let this be their only series!

Ariginal
2025-02-24 21:55:56 +0000 UTCThe past emperor was definitely being a creep to Jinshi in the opening scene
Shardonay Hardy
2025-02-24 18:49:34 +0000 UTCYeah, I meant with her and Jinshi because how else did they let her go through a second time?
Krype
2025-02-24 16:35:51 +0000 UTCYes exactly speculation. Not confirmed. How leaning towards true or not IS manga spoilers. So based off what i said, i was just annoyed that the previous 2 comments basically ignored my efforts and repeated what i said without a spoiler buffer. The finding of certain clues is also part of the fun too, i just didn't wanna ruin it for others.
Dyastro
2025-02-24 16:18:26 +0000 UTCI'm not sure why you consider this spoilers at all? All of this was outright said by Maomao last season during the ep when Ah Duo leaves, just that none of it has been directly confirmed & it was framed as speculation on Maomao's part.
KomodoughDragon
2025-02-24 16:10:40 +0000 UTCBuddy......why are you all spoling...........created a spoiler tag/buffer........ Also more spoilers i dont think it was confirmed if the emperor or the old concubine knows the truth or not
Dyastro
2025-02-24 15:25:50 +0000 UTCAnd would explain why Jinshi say that "the man a thought was my father is actually my brother", probably the emperor raise him like a son, because he knew that he is his son.

2025-02-24 15:23:35 +0000 UTCDude......
Dyastro
2025-02-24 15:23:02 +0000 UTCso jinshi is the son
Zack
2025-02-24 15:11:20 +0000 UTCWell, Jinshi’s mother definitely despised the old man.
Coatl45
2025-02-24 15:08:39 +0000 UTCBut he would definitely approve of her and Jinshi.
Coatl45
2025-02-24 15:07:37 +0000 UTCShe was both pleased that she isn’t his type, and annoyed that he’d outright say it.

Luhbabytay
2025-02-24 07:08:37 +0000 UTCSo, is she officially a concubine now? Also, this definitely feels like a setup episode; I'm sure it will come back into play in a future episode.
Krype
2025-02-24 06:24:57 +0000 UTCYeah we noticed
Krype
2025-02-24 06:07:29 +0000 UTCPeak!! I was considering reading the manga after last season but chose to watch with y'all

Luhbabytay
2025-02-24 04:37:04 +0000 UTCLiterally no why else would I ask lol
Luhbabytay
2025-02-24 04:36:05 +0000 UTCNo.......I'm pretty sure that the Emperor and jinshi share the same mother........she looks young because she was the one that was said to have given birth at like age 10 last season..........so yeah......... Also spoilers: Yeah I know that there are MEGA theories saying that the emperor is actually jinshi's dad like he originally thought, because of the potential baby swap that had happened all those years ago. If I remember correctly, it was guessed that the retired concubine that looks like jinshi is the real mom, with the Emperor being the dad. But they swapped jinshi with the emperor's real brother, who unfortunately died.

2025-02-24 04:32:58 +0000 UTChave you not been paying attention for 7 weeks?
ShaquanVirse
2025-02-24 04:28:22 +0000 UTCWhy we got the episode early? (Not complaining tho)
Luhbabytay
2025-02-24 04:26:55 +0000 UTCBeen waiting for this ep since the season started. It's easily my favourite mini-mystery of the early light novels, and they really nailed the adaptation. Solid pacing and the animation feels better than its been the past few episodes. Also love that they're starting to up the hints at Jinshi's identity, both from Maomao's end and from Jinshi directly. Really excited for the rest of this cour & especially next cour!
