Gaoshun reflects on the burden the youth. The quack doctor is made to do actual work. Maomao reminds Jinshi of their respective places in society.

Maomao and Luomen solve a mystery. Jinshi lets his mind run wild. Gyokuyou could not be more entertained.

In this episode, Maomao's bullying suspicions are confirmed, Jinshi just wants to take a nap, and Lihaku goes flower-viewing at the Verdigris House.

In this episode of 'The Apothecary Diaries,' Lishu (and her lady-in-waiting) are quite lucky to be alive, Maomao finally gets a taste of poison, and things just keep getting more and more complicated for Jinshi.
