In ‘Ice,’ Xiaolan accidentally destroys a rare ice block intended for Consort Loulan. Maomao proposes to salvage the situation by making a dessert using the fragments, asking Jinshi for ingredients and kitchen access. He agrees on the condition that she wears his gifted hairpin.
With help, Maomao prepares a suitable treat, guided by Jinshi’s knowledge of Loulan’s preferences. Meanwhile, Gyokuyou experiences abnormal fetal movement. Maomao suspects a breech birth and recommends her foster father, Luomen, who arrives two days later to assist with the delivery.
The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Episode 16 may address any lingering animosity from palace officials toward Luomen, whose return could reignite political tension due to his past exile. Maomao is likely to reunite with him and explain Gyokuyou’s condition, possibly leading to a discussion of delivery plans.
This may also prompt Maomao to uncover more details about her upbringing or Luomen’s past. Tensions within the palace may rise further if Luomen’s involvement draws scrutiny or disrupts existing power dynamics among the court as well.
