Recap of Episode 10 of The Apothecary Diaries Season 2
Episode 10, aptly named “A Ghost Story,”introduced viewers to the inner workings of the Jade Palace as three new maids met Maomao, thanks to Lady Gyokuyou’s introduction. Although Maomao struggled to assert her seniority, she later expressed her apologies to Yinghua.
In a gesture of goodwill, Yinghua invited Maomao to an evening gathering hosted within the Jade Palace. Upon arrival, they were welcomed by an elderly hostess who directed them to a room filled with ladies-in-waiting congregating around a warm fire.
As the gathering progressed, the hostess announced that guests would share ghost stories for entertainment. Notably, both Shisui’s and Maomao’s tales left a deep impression. However, the hostess’s story took an ominous turn as Maomao sensed an increase in toxic gas, rushing to a window to alert everyone, saving them from a dire fate. Upon returning to the Jade Palace, Lady Hongniang revealed that the hostess was deceased, hinting that Maomao may have encountered a ghost.
