The Apothecary Diaries Ep 9

heavy plotting

Comments

that was nice of her to cheer him up

Getting the impression that Jinshi is a prince with the kind of work he's doing. Ain't no way a eunuch is working on passing bills.

Vincent Zhang

My impression was that the dead lady was killed by Jinshi, or at least by his order, as Maomao pointed out that he'd be the one to give such an order. The "suicide note"/will was something he would've planted later. I think she was involved in the attempted poisoning previously and this was effectively palace security taking out a threat. But that's just an impression, I could be totally off base.

KenthalasAT

i took the will as sucide note someone planted to make it look like it was sucide.

Adults??🔍🤔 I'm not seeing any here.. if I'm a fly then ur a maggot. Maybe use ur critical thinking to make simple connections even a 12yr old can make. If they aren't saying the word there must be a reason. This is less than ignorant its entitlement. If u claim to be asking a question then frame it as a question not a comment on how YOU think it's okay and "not a big deal" to say the word THEY don't.

The music combined with the warm color pallette during the scene with Maomao and jinshi talking was absolutely beautiful. Maomao is legit crazy the fact that she's so curious that if she started touching dead bodies she would become a grave robber just to learn about medicine and poison. She kind of reminds me of the doctor off of soul eater but less bombastic mind you I haven't seen soul eater in a good minute so maybe I'm thinking of another anime doctor but I believe he was crazy as hell can't remember his name gotta re-watch soul eater one day. Wonder if Maomao requested poison if she were to be executed because she wants to taste it one last time or maybe her mother died like that🤔 either way don't know if executions like that were a thing back then probably not because those M'fers were brutal. Finally jinshi has to be the emperor's kin because it seems so obvious at this point don't forget he had that royal hairpin and to me he more resembles the current emperor's mother than him even though I think he's his half brother. Also yeah roshi I feel you on more episodes I think that way on this show and jujutsu kaisen under ninja too 🔥.

Leo

I think Joyce is right. The dead girl was set up to look like she killed herself because of guilt for poisoning the food at the garden party. she might have been completely setup or maybe she was ordered to do the deed then thrown under the bus to cover tracks. Either way Maomao seems convinced it was not actually suicide. It is Fengming that has the burns so she was likely using the coded plates. The question now is if Ah-Duo is also involved. Surely her ladies in waiting would not do anything but at the order of their mistress.

Vik Persson

The will most likely means a note. Like a suicide note. So somebody must have killed her and left a fake note.

Joyce Samson

There's no harm in asking for a schedule, but yeah, it seems like Roshi might be reusing the schedule from last week.

Merfhew

ya. final episodes would be late uploads 🤣 oh well, building suspense

Philly The Kid

Snowfall today right ?

Trey

It would be so elite if y'all dropped CRACK in 5 minutes. My food just got here 😢

Philly The Kid

Guys thank you for your videos it's making me happy 💜 You should no you must watch Mouse. This drama is mind blowing like you won't be the same after watching this😂 You would stop trusting even your best friend after this I swear 😂😂

Emma

Oh ok thanks I live in Florida but I’m in Missouri rn so I’m still getting used to the time difference 😅 but alright

Azzy V

They usually upload in the evening EST. So like anywhere from like 5-11pm lol. My guess for the schedule is that it's the same uploads from last week. I haven't checked for sure tho, from the Monday stuff

Philly The Kid

Is it just me or they haven’t uploaded any more vids or the schedule (not trying to sound entitled I’m just wondering)

Azzy V

There will be a poll between Barry and The Bear at some point.

baggypantsman

No clue, we might have to go back and find the poll

Philly The Kid

do you know what’s replacing snowfall btw?

RH

LAST WEEK OF CRACK! 🥴😫😣🙃YO YOOOOOOO!

Philly The Kid

No schedule?

FACE GAMER

bro forgot abt youtube :skull: bro prob also thinks anyone can use the nword

Martini

Depression, Roshi. Dude was depressed and lost the taste in his mouth. Remember Naofumi in season 1 of Shield Hero?

Alexander Szabo

Bro whoever you are mad at it’s not him you read his comment in way to aggressive a mindset

Oliver

Yo its victhor 🥶

Kumi Chan

You're forgetting they post these to YouTube and the algorithm doesn't like it when you say words like that, especially in the first 30 seconds.

Gilthwixt

Snarky? I'm just asking, kiddo. I genuinely don't understand why a word in the title of a fictional episode cannot be read. I'm ignorant, and am trying not to be. And yes, I'm paying to be here, wtf is your point? Bug off, little fly. The adults are trying to talk here, I'm trying to attain actual information.

JsnSkg

Why are YOU so pressed... they can do whatever they want if they don't want to read the words who are u to make snarky comments about it. ITS YOU WHO IS PAYING TO BE HERE so why waste the time to make silly comments like this.

hyakimaru dono

Why the aversion to reading a word? Huh? I get the subject itself is touchy, going into it is generally heavy, but just reading it from a title shouldn't be that big a deal. I'm so confused.

JsnSkg

Its a cover up either way, I think its for the garden party though.

Barry

Also MaoMao was a huge deal for being able to read, bet anything that we find out later that servant couldn't write a word.

Barry

A servant that probably couldn't even read or write as we learned in the early episodes.

Barry

I had the same conclusion. I feel like the salt death was purely accidental, they showed the salt being added to the drink at the beginning and the server looking in disgust at the prankers who were laughing at the poor guy.

Barry

I read it as the drowning was related to the garden party, not the salt death. They could both be related to covering up a plot of course.

Barry

Then everyone would know hes a prince right? He wasn't wearing a disguise.

Barry

I'd be disappointed, doesn't seem like it would ever make sense. Unless its going to be a gag about how nobody recognises him when hes the prince despite changing nothing about his appearance, that would be acceptable to me. I'm leaning towards him being some sort of bastard member of the dynasty, why would the heir to the throne be a thirst trap for concubines? The brother is meant to be too sickly to leave the house, so you are close.

Barry

yeah you can see the exact person who poisoned with salt at 2:04

Daniel Turner

The german translation was different at this place. It made it clear that she (allegedly) left a note (not a will) that she had sth to do with the poisoning incident at the garden party. So idk japanese, so I don't actually know what they're saying, but it's weird that the translations are so different.

AiraKT

My guess is that it's a fake will/confession. She saw something she wasn't supposed to and they're disposing of witnesses. They've already shown that someone was willing to poison the emperor's concubine.

SakakiMaya

Hey yall, what I'm thinking is that the will was hers, made to appear so by the people who threw her in the river. The part about her being at the party where the poisoning happened I think is a connection that Maomao made, that the authorities did not, and it'll be a reason for the actual murder, like she witnessed the salt addition to the drink.

Ivan Šlogar

I think that the will was not related to some kind of inheritance, because she was just a servant. I agree with Roshi in this one, maybe they forged a will to make it seem like she committed suicide. She might be the one that poisoned the soup during the garden banquet, and that Fengming lady at the end killed her to get rid of the evidence and witness. Ps: I could misinterpret it but did Maomao imply that Kounen's death is due to a prank from someone who doesnt like him? That's so messed up.

Victor

Covid messed up my ability to taste salt 😪

Fano

There must be more about the salt murder right?

Eehk

I think the servant knew who poisoned the drink, so the higher ups killed her and forged a will for her so it would be viewed as a suicide.

Sixaxis112

Dayum they was mad Salty about Buddy😂

NovaVortex

I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this show! It's such a fresh addition to the current anime industry!

Christina Scarfeo

I think he's the emperors brother also. I think that because of the trusted role he has in the rear palace. More so, I think it because in the episode with the garden party they said the emperors bother was there and left. Jinshi was there, gave Maomao the hairpin and left to get another one. We never got to see where he would sit because Maomao ran off after eating the poisoned food and he went after her.

Dark Shogun

I think the point of the ending was that "Higher" people were involved in the death of a "commoner". So they just marked it a suicide and moved on, because who cares about a dead servant if it inconveniences a noble.

Huemon Nottabear

Sheera distracting roshi from the plot at the beginning of the episode 🫠

Trey

For your theory about Jinshi, you should look at the Empress Dowager (meaning the previous emperor's widow, and mother to the current emperor and the emperor's brother). She appeared briefly in the garden party episode, sitting to the right of the emperor.

Liliana

You can lose your sense of taste due to stress or depression, but it's usually with a loss of smell. You can also lose touch and motor control in the face and limbs. This will add more stress and make it worse, until you have a stress stroke, or heart failure.

Huemon Nottabear

The convo towards the end regarding Jinshi's possible true identity? I suspect he is the Emperor's brother because during the garden party, when MaoMao discovered the poison they panned to where the royals were seated then suddenly Jinshi popped up from behind the curtains and I saw that as them saying that's his spot next to his brother as far as being next in line but he's hidden/behind the scenes for some reason (also I think there was some point where the background characters mentioned the brother being missing or absent? I may be confused). IDK if culturally they would actually seat the possible heir next to the Emperor, but I think it's possible he is related and/or is the brother.

Alaysia Moore

I was thinking that too but what about her fingers being all red, I do think that she climbed the wall but maybe they somehow convinced her to kill herself

Devin B

They ruled it sui cide because the will probably stated that she was gonna kill herself. It's an asian tv trope, where people jump and they leave their shoes and a letter neatly where they jumped from so when people try to find where they jump from they can see the letter immidiately.

Random Guy

I think what happened is that the girl who commited "suicide" was involved in the salt poisoning and the higher ups decided to killed her and made it look like a suicide and the will was created to cover up the killing so that no one questions what happened. Just an assumption though.

Roberto

Thanks for the call out, I thought it was supposed to drop tomorrow.

Cory

yeah I dunno, I thought the girl's will was like a note she left behind. I feel the same about waiting for another episode though. I'm like can we get the Netflix special and have the whole season now?

Ash

Someone did the math, about 100g or w/e of pure salt in a single sitting can easily kill you due to electrolyte imbalance, especially when it's mixed in w/ alcohol & not pure water itself to balance it out either. The 3 lumps seemed big enough to be 100g izi, based on comparing them to some of my 80g spice containers

Skebaba

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
