  I feel like that big long exposition meeting was probably a narrative device that worked better in the original text than in animation. I found myself a little bored at times with this episode.

    That’s pretty much been my opinion of this entire story arc. It’s felt like it’s dragging on way more than season 1

  I was hoping the hairpin would save Loulan (although there may still be a tiny chance it actually did)

    Same, I really liked Loulan.

    I haven’t even thought about that but now that you mentioned it the last scene would make quite a lot of sense. Oh I’m so ready for the next episode!

    I don’t think it’s that strange. Both Shisou and Loulan are among the main traitors to the empire that planned to overthrow it and attempted to kill royals. In an ancient empire, they weren’t going to be let alive. The royal guard likely intended to kill in the entire clan, which was also why Loulan poisoned the children to let them die a “peaceful” death (though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the resurrection potion).

      Loulan’s words to Jinshi about people who have “already died once” being let off the hook feels like they almost guarantee it, but I guess we’ll find out for sure next episode.

    I don’t get why the soldiers killed Shishou on the spot

    Harming the Moon Prince, even if it’s but a scratch, is enough to do that.

    Thanks for the links! I didn’t know about the USJ ones; amusing stuff.

  Calling it, Loulan survived.

  Apothecary Diaries is a masterclass of storytelling. I love how it all came together. Next is the last episode, which I assume is using the resurrection potion to save the children.

    Hope so… Or it was a bitter ending. 🫤
