The Apothecary Diaries S2: Unexpected Delay & New Cast!

In the second half of “The Apothecary Diaries” Season 2, we delve deeper into the day-to-day life of Maomao within the Inner Court. The initial portion of this season followed the caravan, hosted visiting dignitaries, and exposed Jinhsi as the future king of the kingdom by revealing his identity as the Crown Prince. Although it was hinted at in the first season that Jinshi was a member of royalty, his role as the Crown Prince significantly elevates his importance. Even with his secret identity, Jinshi’s growing affection and trust for Maomao lead him to try and disclose his true self. However, Maomao, who generally avoids trouble, takes various steps to prevent him from exposing his secret.

In the aftermath of his hunting expedition, Jinshi’s emotions are intricate. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts towards the Inner Court. Despite a history marred by rough patches, Maomao brings her father, Luomen, into the Inner Court. Upon learning about Concubine Gyokuyou’s pregnancy complications and the possibility of surgical intervention, Maomao proposes they seek help from her adoptive father. However, with Luomen’s return, Maomao manages to expose a significant secret hidden in the rear palace. As we anticipate the series revealing its enigmas, it is announced that the second season will experience an unforeseen delay.
