I guess the official was like, "Alright, bet." and wanted to make sure it was poison, I guess. After all, she could just be bluffing (even though we know that if she calls it out, it is most likely for real).
Maomao is like that one person who loves eating the hottest peppers they can find. If they make chili they have to make two pots because the one they make for themselves is so spicy nobody else can eat it.
That's my mother in a nutshell, execpt she makes something normal then dumps ghost pepper powder (or worse) on her portion instead of making two batches. Meanwhile, jalapenos are the hottest thing I can handle. I've got some funny stories related to her obsene spice tolerance if anyone's interested.
and me the absolute opposite, lol. My tastes are so sensitive that I don't even have ketchup with my fries... or if I do its the tiniest dip because that's all I really need, lol. It's a boon and a curse though. At restaurants its hit and miss. What taste great to others is overwhelming to me and what taste bland to others is a mouthful of flavor. My youngest brother is like that though. Guy carries around Tabasco and Siracha sauce when we are going out!
lol this comment reminds me of my mom. this was her entire thing, two different pots of food because one was just straightup lava and the other was mild. Until the day she accidentally mixed them up
i mean to be fair not everybody knows shes an apothecary and an expert with poisons and i mean she looked like it was delicious and she also swallowed it instead of spiting it back out they dont know shes running off to puke her insides out after this :D
0:26 Love this part. She's being so goofy for a moment with her poison fetish, then she realizes it and goes "Okay, concentrate!" and the serious background music that had suddenly stopped now resumes. Genius directing.
@@thelegendaryklobb2879I'll go with "Great", it's humble and powerful at the same time, perfect for the situation. Genius is just too much for my taste
Well, most meds and drugs are pretty much refined, natural toxins, so for someone who has as strong a tolerance as Maomao, she is pretty much getting her "hit" with most toxins. Let's hope no serious addictions form.
A poison crack addict? What a LOVELY ANIME PREMISE! Let's travel the world, savouring all the deadliest and most exquisite intoxications known to the Heavens! (Constipation will be the lamest side effect!) Gordon Ramsay meets Bear Grylls meets Food Wars meets Poison Pink!
The moment we saw a hint of her expression we paused the video and agreed that the only thing that would make her look that happy was poison. I think my words were something like "Broken as she is, there's only one thing that makes her smile like that."
Darkness cans survive Megumin's explosion spell, that must be at least as devastating for the body as drinking some poison. Considering Konosuba's logic, she would be fine.
I never thought I would fall in love with palace court dramas, especially 2 of them in the same year, but then this and Raven of the Inner Palace happened and I was so wrapped up in their stories and cast.
Considering you liked this one, I will try the other one, as i actually LIKE Palace Intrigues, as long as they aren't TOO cliché. Thank you for mentioning this, will try to return here to give my opinion on the other because i fricking love this one, tho the characters have alot to do with it too, obviously.
@@Judokasting Raven of the Inner Palace is very akin to Ghost Whisperer if you're familiar to that show with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Very light on the body horror aspect, and despite that, it's entrancing to sit through.

Some major spoiler Maomao member of La clan, every member of that clan are quirky and eccentric, also they are all genius in one way(mao is pharmacy, her father are strategist)
I mean, that’s literally what she says in the LN as well, the thing was the reason he tried it was because she was so chill about it and made such a clean exit he couldn’t quite believe it was actually poison.
@@hannessteffenhagen61 Jinshi also had the exact same reaction when she said who was the idiot who drank it. Like, come one it's rude to say it out loud, but I'm not gonna argue the situation itself
@@Aurilion44 Bro,if person who supposed to test it said its poison,you most definitely should NOT try eating it yourself,bruh Even if it gonna happen to be safe,you better have your self preservation instinct and stay safe than sorry
@@skell6134 she did actualy swallow it aside from the fact that she licked her lips and talked with an empty mouth and even the audience saying how can it be poison if she swallowed it thing is she didnt go spit it out she went and "cough it up" wich is like people vomiting after eating dinner to empty theyr stomach again cause they believe thats a healthy way to not get fat
what kind of idiot drinks soup after the food tester announced it was poison? sad part is its probably happened IRL because some SDE individual wanted to gain clout by saying the tester is lying
I don’t deny the minister was certainly an idiot. But at the same time, I’d assume that no one expects the taste tester to actually identify the poison. Usually they just collapse and start foaming at the mouth. And like they pointed out, Maomao did swallow it despite saying it’s poison
If I remember right from the novels, Maomao's ecstatic reaction made the minister think the soup must be so delicious that it was worth the risk. He didn't know that she was jazzed by the poison rather than the skills of the royal chef :D
Nice detail, but her full reaction came later and was great. Maomao even put it in a way that didn't directly accuse her, but also made her feel the weight of a tombstone she might have been under.
To whoever thought to use the Gordon Ramsey reference, thank you for your contribution to human culture. And since Crunchyroll has changed titles in the past, the title is: "Finally Some Good Poison"
Just for add: When you feel that you had drink/eat some poison food. DO NOT RUN, PANIC OR ANY CAN CAUSE YOU DIGEST RUN FASTER. Min movement and go to your emergency with what food left you had eat so they can id what poison you may have had. Unless you had been trained as poison specialist DO NOT ATTEMPT ADMINISTRATORS ANYTHING THAT COULD DELY OR COMPROMISE THINGS UP.
Have never heard of this series before today. The art style is just next level! Divinely beautiful even. It reminds me of the vibrant, fluid colors of the glory days of the early-mid 90s.
In the future: “Did you hear! Someone tried to poison mistress Mao Mao. Her husband took her to their chambers.” “Oh no, did she get so sick?” “… Not exactly.”
1:20 Can someone explain why the taster smiled like that? Is she intentionally trying to poison her lady? Later in the episode, she’s confronted but her actions seem to be accidental
@@josh0156She knows her lady is allergic, and she doesn't like her lady so she bullies her because she's young. She gets reprimanded and warned for this later on
General consensus is that she knew she was allergic and was bullying her because she couldn't refuse to eat it in front of the emperor. But they had no way to prove it, so they instead pretended that she just thought she was being picky, informed her that yes, she really is allergic, and feeding her that stuff was equivalent to poisoning her, and gave her some boards with instructions how to deal with it in the future. Next time it happens, they know she knows, and will be punished accordingly.
This is the most slept on series of the SEASON!!! It's right up there with the "Eminence in Shadow" when it comes to enjoyability factor, PLUS the animation is 💯
Who was the nervous lady Maomao first look at serving? Was she the Emperor’s taster? I know the smug one is Lishu’s but who’s the first who just chugs it?
You're correct, the nervous lady sitting on the right of Maomao is the emperor's food taster. The one on the left of Maomao is Lishu's food taster, and the two other main concubine's food tasters are on the other side of the Emperor compared to Maomao, so further away and not visible on those shots except when the camera zoom out a lot.
@@Nabee_H so basically, Lishu is young and to any outsider (mostly her own ladies in waiting) think she’s a picky eater , when in actuality she’s just allergic to fish and this is a time period were that sort of thing isn’t well understood . Her ladies in waiting being petty and bullies decided to swap the concubines respective dishes , The one with jelly fish substitute was supposed to be for Lishu , and so was the soup, but as mentioned Lishus lady in waiting swapped them before the party officially started . But in doing that she saved herself and Lishu from being poisoned because someone had laced her soup, now everyone thinks someone was trying to poison concubine Gyokuyou
I mean why would she think it's nonchalant? She could have been doing the sensible thing and rushing to the infirmary (she wasn't) or to go puke it up away from the Royal Family (which she tried to do).
im still confused on why the lady smiled and why the concubine is taste testing for the emperor (or was this non poisoned food they were being served)? Especially when she has her own taste tester.
There are 4 concubine consorts, who are princesses btw from different clans, so all of them prestigious and one of them will likely marry the emperor, so they’re super important. Each concubine has their own food taster before they eat the food themselves. (No consorts means no heirs). Lady Lishu is the one in pink who was scared to eat the fish- it’s at first assumed she just doesn’t like fish and is snobby. Her own food taster is her lady in waiting and is trying to force her/punish her for being a picky eater by being forced to eat what she doesn’t want to in front of the emperor and her smirk/ coy smile def implied the food tester purposefully switched the dishes. It’s revealed later that Lady Lishu has a fish allergy which is why she’s a picky eater
@@jessicamaymatheson ohhh ok, thanks a lot! I was under the assumption she poisoned the soup which is why she smiled or she purposely fed the fish knowing Lishu was allergic to it.
Watch The Apothecary Diaries here! got.cr/cc-tad
Food taster: This is poison
Official: *proceeds to eat the thing she just said is poison and gets poisoned*
Guess he wasn't a very good officel.
I guess the official was like, "Alright, bet." and wanted to make sure it was poison, I guess.
After all, she could just be bluffing (even though we know that if she calls it out, it is most likely for real).
If’s because of Maomao’s exciteness that made him doubt lol.
Let’s be fair, who has Maomao’s reaction to being poisoned? None of them. The doubt was probably warranted.
Always gotta be somebody that micromanages the help and refuses to trust that they're doing their jobs right.
Imagine a person that knows they're terribly allergic to peanut being forced to eat a snickers bar, that's basically what happened to Lady Lishu.
I... think you mean Lishu. Jinshi is the handsome eunuch guy. And yeah poor girl, on top of that she is being bullied by her ignorant court ladies.

1:20 Can someone explain why the taster smiled like that? Is she intentionally trying to poison her lady? Later in the episode, she’s confronted but her actions seem to be accidental

General consensus is that she knew she was allergic and was bullying her because she couldn't refuse to eat it in front of the emperor.

Lady Lishu is the one in pink who was scared to eat the fish- it’s at first assumed she just doesn’t like fish and is snobby. Her own food taster is her lady in waiting and is trying to force her/punish her for being a picky eater by being forced to eat what she doesn’t want to in front of the emperor and her smirk/ coy smile def implied the food tester purposefully switched the dishes. It’s revealed later that Lady Lishu has a fish allergy which is why she’s a picky eater
@@jessicamaymatheson ohhh ok, thanks a lot! I was under the assumption she poisoned the soup which is why she smiled or she purposely fed the fish knowing Lishu was allergic to it.
also that soup Maomao said that was poisoned was also swapped by the lady in waiting , unintentionally saving Lishu from being poisoned.
@@dandymaiden Thank you!
@Nabee_H another reason will be explained a little later on :>
This anime seems cool
When she almost cause Lihua to seek for a new food taster.
I am somewhat terrified and intrigued at the same time.
The guy at the end reminded me of Cheon Yeo-Woon
I'm beginning to think the Emperor knows Maomao likes eating poison.
