Viewers Were Also in Shock: The True Identity of Lady Loulan in "The Apothecary Diaries" - The Scene Where Maomao Realized She Was the Same Person as Shisui

The identity of Lady Loulan, one of the four mysterious consorts, has finally been revealed...! In episode 44 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," viewers were shocked when Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) realized that Lady Loulan and Shisui (CV: Asami Seto) were the same person.

Maomao was abducted from the rear palace and arrived at a hidden village deep in the forest. In episode 44, Maomao and Kyou-u (CV: Natsumi Fujiwara) snuck into a warehouse, where they were discovered by Shenmei (CV: Rica Fukami) and found themselves in a tight spot. Then, Lady Loulan, who had disappeared from the rear palace, appeared before them, saying, "It's just children's mischief... Let's hurry along, mother." From her voice, Maomao became convinced that her true identity was Shisui, the maid. "The reason she hid from the Empress Dowager and avoided approaching Lady Lishu at the large bathhouse was probably to prevent being exposed as Lady Loulan," Maomao reflected on Shisui's behavior up to that point.

When it became clear that Lady Loulan's true identity was Shisui, who was close to Maomao, online reactions included shocked voices from viewers such as "No way, Loulan!?" "Seriously?" and "I didn't notice at all."
