The events in episode 9 of The Apothecary Diaries picked up where episode 8 left off and resolved the misunderstanding between Maomao and Jinshi. The main storyline of the episode begins with Jinshi receiving news about the death of another palace official. Subsequently, Jinshi called for Maomao to discuss his uncertainties regarding the official's passing.

Maomao concluded that the official's death could have been caused by his excessive salt intake. She also speculated that this might have been the result of a prank gone wrong, as the official's dulled sense of taste prevented him from detecting the high levels of salt mixed into his alcohol.
