VOL.3
Source is Light Novel.
Context: Maomao, a pragmatic apothecary's daughter, is kidnapped and sold into service at the Emperor's rear palace. Trying to keep a low profile, her sharp wit and medical knowledge accidentally catch the eye of the influential and beautiful eunuch, Jinshi. The first season covers her initial time in the inner court as she is promoted to poison taster and begins solving various medical mysteries and incidents.
Continuation: Watch The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, or start reading Light Novel Volume 3.
Critical Note: While the original source material is a Light Novel, there are two distinct manga adaptations. The highly popular Square Enix manga (illustrated by Nekokurage) is a great alternative, and you can pick up the story from Manga Chapter 41. The anime is incredibly faithful to both the LN and this specific manga adaptation.
Status: Finished.
