The Apothecary Diaries concluded its Season 2 after the chaotic fight against the Shi Clan members. Ever since the first season, the anime was gr the stage for the Shi Clan’s rebellion. From Suirei’s seemingly unconnected schemes to Loulan’s arrival at the Rear Palace as a Pure Consort, everything was part of an elaborate plan. The story takes a turn for the worse in the second cour of Season 2, when Suirei kidnaps Maomao and takes her to a village of the Shi Clan. This compels Jinshi to accept Lakan’s advice and shed all pretenses as an Eunuch.
He assumes his true identity as the Moon Prince and puts an end to the rebellion. Despite being one of the most powerful clans in the kingdom, the Shi Clan met its end in a single night. Loulan was believed to be dead, but she somehow survived and escaped the country. In the upcoming sequel, the story will focus on the palace politics, which may be in shambles after Jinshi stops hiding himself. However, the release date of the sequel or any information has yet to be revealed. As fans await more updates, the anime confirmed the release date of the fourth Blu-ray.
