The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 continues with the release of episode 26, which sees Jinshi and Maomao tasked with ensuring a caravan and its supply are intact and free of any trouble for a festival. Final Weapon has the details on when you can expect to watch the latest episode of The Apothecary Diaries Season 2.
The previous episode of The Apothecary Diaries saw Maomao continue her life as a taster for Concubine Gyokuyou at the palace. While doing her duties, Maomao notices that novels are becoming popular in the rear palace, so she decides to help her friend Xiaolan read and write. A stray cat also gets the attention of Gyokuyou and the Emperor’s daughter, so Maomao is tasked with looking after the cat and nursing her back to good health. The end of the episode previews a festival that will be underway, and but Maomao’s strong sense of smell suggests a caravan might be a cause for concern.
