Maomao finally discovers Jinshi’s true identity, and her first reaction is a shocker! Viewers burst into laughter at the classic Maomao moment in "The Apothecary Diaries."

In Episode 46, a major development occurs as Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) finally learns the noble truth behind Jinshi’s (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka) identity. While anyone else would typically be astonished or show humble respect, Maomao utters an unexpected remark...!?

Jinshi had previously been disguising his status as a 25-year-old eunuch. However, in Episode 46, in order to strike down a powerful Grand Chancellor suspected of treason, he revealed his true identity as the Emperor’s brother, Ka Zuiget, and mobilized the Imperial Guard.

As a result, Maomao witnessed a scene where Jinshi was addressed as "Crown Prince" by his subordinates. Although Jinshi replied that he is not currently the Crown Prince, Maomao realized that he is actually the 19-year-old brother of the Emperor. Her first words to him, delivered in her usual blunt tone, were: "Master Jinshi, you certainly look old for your age, don't you?"

This reaction, so typical of Maomao, drew plenty of laughs from viewers online, with comments such as "Classic Maomao," "Don't call him old lol," "I love how Maomao never changes," and "That’s our Maomao lol."
