The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 14 recap

The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 14, titled Dancing Ghost, commenced with Maomao accompanying Jinshi to the Diamond Pavilion after a heated exchange between the male protagonist and Lady Gyokuyou. After reaching the Diamond Pavilion, Lady Lishu told them about the dancing ghost issue and showed fear.
However, the Diamond Pavilion's ladies-in-waiting immediately started downgrading their consort, claiming that Lady Lishu had always been an attention seeker. Fortunately, Jinshi sent them off to fetch some tea, which gave Maomao enough time to start her investigation of the dancing ghost.

After some deep analysis, Maomao asked for the Pavilion's blueprints. After looking at them, Maomao was confident that the dancing ghost was just a curtain moving. What happened was that Lady Lishu opened the bathhouse's hole, which forced all the water into the underground pipes. The pipes, going through a nearby room, emitted steam, which caused the curtain to move.
Moreover, the face of the dancing ghost was a reflection from a nearby mirror that was very dear to Lady Lishu. After solving the mystery, the ladies-in-waiting returned and tried to disrespect Lady Lishu. However, this time, Jinshi didn't hold back and took the head lady-in-waiting's hairpin. Later in the episode, Jinshi visited the new eunuchs who complained about getting bullied.
The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 15: What to expect? (speculative)
The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 15 is titled Ice. As seen from the previous installment's climax, the next episode will shed light on Xiaolan's mistake, where she toppled a eunuch's cart that had ice in it.
Moreover, as seen from the episode's preview trailer, Maomao will immediately jump to help her friend. Given the series' narrative, Maomao might try to make new ice, just like the case of flowers in season 1.
