Perfumed oil is all the rage, but it’s way too strong, huh?

She’s less like a cat and more like a police dog.
猫というより警察犬
Maomao: “Sorry… I got a little too excited…” lol
猫猫｢すみません…つい興奮して…｣www
That’s a perverted-sounding excuse.
変態のような言い訳
She made an excuse like a stalker 🤭.
ストーカーみたいな言い訳した🤭
Being called a pervert by Jinshi-sama is the end 🥺.
壬氏さまに変態と言われたらおわりや🥺
I love how Jinshi-sama always acts more natural around Maomao.
猫猫相手だと素が出がちな壬氏様好き
Last week Jinshi was sniffing Maomao’s scent, and now Maomao is sniffing everything this week.
先週は壬氏が毛毛のニオイを嗅ぎ、今週は猫猫が色んなニオイを嗅ぐ
Jinshi-sama, you were the pervert last week 🤣. You can’t talk!
壬氏さまこそ先週変態だった癖に🤣 ひとのこと言えるのかw
◆ Maomao’s Deduction
Rose scent can harm pregnant women⁉️ I didn’t know that… 😧
薔薇の香りって妊婦に悪影響あるのっ⁉️ 初めて知った…😧
So the pregnancy is exposed…? And someone’s trying to sabotage it…?
やっぱりご懐妊バレてる…？そしてそれを妨害しようとしてる…？
Being able to distinguish scents like that is amazing.
匂いを嗅ぎ分けられるのすごいな。
Scent sommelier.
匂いソムリエ
Scents harmful to pregnant women…
妊婦に害のあるニオイ…
Is it all perfumed oils that are harmful to pregnant women?
妊婦に有害な香油ばかりなのか
Do perfumed oils and spices have toxic properties?
香油と香辛料に毒性があるのか
Reminds me of Conan-kun’s “Just a taste…” moment lol.
コナンくんのペロッを思い出した…w
So it’s intentional?
意図的ってこと？
Abortion drugs!?
堕胎薬！？
Someone must be doing this on purpose.
誰かが狙ってやっていると推測
Things are getting shady.
きな臭くなって参りました
Jasmine has uterine-contracting properties.
ジャスミンは子宮を収縮させる作用あり
Is this to cause a miscarriage?
流産させるためか。
The scent of conspiracy 🐫
陰謀の香り🐫
Maomao is way too competent.
猫猫優秀すぎ
Maomao’s deductions are on fire…!!
猫猫の推理が冴える…！！
Knowledge of poisons and medicine is so important, for real.
毒や薬の知識大事、マジ
Maomao is basically working like a narc 💀
まるで麻取の様だな猫猫💀
This part is done so well. But seriously, do these effects actually exist? As a reader, I wouldn’t know.
このへん上手いよな。つっても詳しい効能の知識が読者レベルでは持ってないんだけれども。じっさいこういう効能あるの？
The white powder brings back memories.
白粉懐かしいね
Remember the incident with lead in face powder…
鉛の入ったおしろい事件あったね…
Unsolved case files.
未解決事件ファイル
There’s likely someone who knows these substances can be poisonous.
毒になることをわかってるやつがいる可能性が高い
Jinshi quickly understands Maomao’s knowledge. Their dynamic—whether as allies or standing back-to-back—is something I really love.
猫猫の知識を素早く理解できる壬氏 この2人の背合わせというか戦友というか 同じ方向を向ける関係性 私は好きなんだ。
This overlaps with that incident where coincidences piled up and became inevitable.
偶然が重なり必然となったあの事件と重なる
Maomao always makes sure to lay down precautions.
猫猫さんはちゃんと予防線を張っていくよね
So many callbacks to Season 1 in this episode.
一期の振り返りふんだんに出てきたな
◆ Maomao Reflects
What’s coincidence and what’s inevitability?
どれが偶然で必然なのか
How much of this was intentional…
何処までが意図されたものなのか、、
You shouldn’t speak based on speculation…
憶測でモノを言っちゃいけないんだよねぇ・・・
What Maomao needs now is to “hold off on speaking.” Revealing the truth at the wrong time could ruin everything…
猫猫に必要なのは「今はまだ語るべきではない」ってムーブかな 種明かしするタイミング次第で失敗する可能性がある……
“You shouldn’t speak based on speculation” is a lesson, but also a constraint.
『憶測でものを言っちゃいけないよ』 教訓だけど枷にもなってるよなぁ
Coincidences piling up into inevitability. This is where Season 1 plays a role too. The fact that Season 2 builds on Season 1 like this—it’s so brilliant. I love it.
偶然が重なり必然となる ここで一期もきちんと生きてくる 一期を経ての二期だからこその演出 本当に素晴らしい…大好きだよ
Hmm, I feel like the mastermind might be someone close by…
うーん、黒幕が身近にいそうな気がするんだよねーーー・・・
Jinshi-sama appears casually.
しれっと現れる壬氏様
Came over just to flirt, huh.
イチャラブしに来よった
Maomao: “Even poison can be medicine in small doses.”
猫猫｢毒もまた少量では薬です｣
So cold-hearted.
つれない態度だな
Jinshi: “That’s what I want to drink!”
壬「それが飲みたいのだ！」
Well, of course he wants to drink what his crush (Maomao) is drinking.
推し(猫猫)が飲むものだもんな
Male infertility 🥹 Jinshi 🥹
男性側が原因の不妊🥹壬氏🥹
Jinshi acting like a spoiled child, and Maomao hits him with brutal sarcasm lol.
子供みたいなわがまま壬氏に強烈な皮肉ｗ
Ah, this isn’t good lol.
あー、これはいかんwww
That sarcasm might’ve hit a little too hard lolol.
皮肉にしては効き過ぎたかｗｗ
Not much point saying that to a eunuch lol.
宦官にそんなこと言ってもなぁw
Does jasmine help with male infertility?
ジャスミンは男性の不妊に効くの？
Ah~ Jinshi-sama’s leaving…
あ〜壬氏様帰っちゃう…
Jinshi-sama really loves Maomao, doesn’t he?
ほんっと壬氏さま猫猫のこと好きだな
Was someone poisoned to death?
毒を盛られて亡くなった？
A poisoning case!
毒殺きたー
What!?
え！？
The first victim of the season?
今期最初の犠牲者か
◆ The Ending Theme
＼(^o^)／ It’s over!
＼(^o^)／ｵﾜﾀ
Don’t just end on your own!
勝手に終わるな
It ended so quickly.
あっという間に終わった
Wait, it’s ending here!?
ここで終わるんかーーーーーい
The vibe is getting ominous.
不穏な雰囲気になってきたな
That ending left me wanting more😭.
続き気になる終わり方😭
It’s already over? That was fast 😣.
もう終わっちゃった早い😣
That ending has me dying for more 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
続き気になるわーーーーー 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Once again, it ended in what felt like seconds…
また秒で終わった……
Aren’t they dropping an excessive amount of foreshadowing?
なんか伏線大盤振る舞いしてませんか？
I’m starting to really like the ending theme.
ED好きになってきた
Huh? Huh? It feels like only three minutes have passed…
えっ❓えっ❓まだ3分位しか経ってない様な……
The lack of dialogue in the next episode preview is so nice.
次回予告 セリフないのがいいよね
The ending theme is so good, just so good 😭. It’s such a blessing to hear this at the end of every episode ✨.
EDやはり良いとても良い😭これを毎週の締めくくりに聴くことが出来て幸せ✨
Actual jasmine tea and other Chinese teas can easily be brewed 3–4 times. And the shopkeeper at the Chinatown store where I bought mine said you can even refrigerate the leaves overnight and brew them again the next day.
実際のジャスミン茶をはじめとした中国茶は３～４煎くらいは余裕で楽しめます。 出涸らしは水入れて冷蔵庫で一晩出せばもう一回飲めるって中華街のお茶買った店のおっちゃんが言ってた。
Final Thoughts
Whoa, things just got real! With the first death of the season, the story is finally picking up steam, and the mystery vibes are kicking in thanks to Maomao’s sharp deductions. It feels like we’re diving headfirst into the suspense fans have been waiting for.
Xiaolan completely stole the spotlight this episode—her cuteness is off the charts! She’s showing up way more often than in Season 1, and we’re all hoping to see even more of her adorable moments. And let’s not forget Shisui, who’s finally stepping into the spotlight. She’s still surrounded by mystery, but she’s definitely shaping up to be a key player in the story.
With the drama heating up, the characters shining, and the stakes getting higher, things are about to get intense in the imperial court. Stay tuned for what’s next—it’s only getting better from here!
