The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Episode 20: Maomao and Kyou-u Get Caught—Recap, Release Date And More

In ‘Festival,’ Shisui discusses the agricultural festival’s origins that stem from the history of western settlers. She also reveals the significance behind the red and green fox masks, possibly linked to the villagers’ genetic color blindness. Maomao proposes that these masks may have originated from the Royal Family matriarch’s lineage.

Following the ceremony, Maomao asks for Suirei’s formula to create the resurrection drug, which Suirei willingly shares. Later, Maomao finds Suirei’s laboratory filled with metal tubes and a feifa assembly setup. As they delve deeper into the investigation, Maomao and Kyou-u are found within the storage room by Shenmei, who is accompanied by Ayla, a noble envoy.

Expected plot in The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Episode 20

In the upcoming episode 20 of The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, it seems that Maomao and Kyou-u could face severe punishment since they’ve been found out by Shenmei. Yet, there’s a possibility that Suirei might step in to protect them, considering she is currently looking after Maomao at present.

It’s quite probable that Loulan will show up, strengthening her ties with Shenmei, Suirei, and Shishui. This could potentially result in a more lenient penalty for everyone involved. At the same time, the link between the clandestine arms trade and palace intrigues is set to become stronger due to envoy Ayla’s role in the affair.
