In ‘The Hunt,’ Jinshi arranges a hunting trip in the northern province to disclose his identity to Maomao. Before departing, he requests Gyokuyou to release Maomao from her service. At their lodging, Jinshi remains secluded, only venturing out with a mask.

Maomao learns that the Ma Clan has long served Jinshi’s family. During the hunt’s banquet, Jinshi falls ill from the heat, prompting Maomao to assist him. Assassins attack, forcing them to jump from a waterfall. In a cave, Maomao administers first aid while Jinshi keeps her close.

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Episode 12’s title, ‘Ka Zuigetsu’ (‘Moon Prince,’ 華瑞月), references Jinshi’s true name, suggesting a deeper focus on his identity in this episode. With recent events, Jinshi may finally reveal the truth about his origins.

The continuation from the previous episode may clarify why he pulled Maomao toward him, potentially addressing his feelings for her. The episode should also address whether there are any more assassins in their vicinity and if there would be more such dangers henceforth.
