The Apothecary Diaries Episode 11 Spoilers, Recap, and What to Expect in Episode 12

Tying off several mysteries in this episode, Maomao confronts Fengming who turned out to orchestrate Lishu’s poisoning. Lishu’s knowledge of the poisonous honey meant she was a loose end that could expose an older coverup of Fengming’s, which was the true cause of Ah-Duo’s son’s death.

Or at least, who was believed to be Ah-Duo’s son, as another mystery was explored about Ah-Duo’s familial connection to Jinshi. But Fengming’s guilt was palpable when she collapsed in tears of shame over failing her concubine so tremendously. She was put to death, and Maomao went back to the site of the servant’s suicide from Episode 9.

It’s here that not only the death was confirmed as a suicide, but Maomao’s suspicions of Fengming’s coverup grew, knowing this could be a way to cover her tracks about Lishu’s poisoning. Lies beget lies, while the most consequential lie left Jinshi alive, as it’s quietly revealed that he’s Ah-Duo’s son, switched at birth for his protection. After this whirlwind of developments, I can’t wait for the release of The Apothecary Diaries Episode 12!
