## Alcohol

**Alcohol** (酒, *Sake*?) is the fourteenth chapter of Nekokurage's *Kusuriya no Hitorigoto* manga.

## Summary

The shards are brought to Maomao. Maomao tastes salt on them. It appears that Kounen's jug contained so much salt that they still remained even now. She explains that too much salt can kill a person, which was most likely how he died. Jinshi wonders why Kounen didn't taste the difference. Maomao shows him the record of Kounen's daily habits and speculates that he lost the ability to taste salty flavors. Perhaps someone was trying to play a prank on him, not knowing about his condition. Jinshi whispers something to Gaoshun, who leaves. Maomao guesses that Jinshi, who was close to Kounen, has a suspect in mind. She then notices a talisman of mourning on Jinshi's clothes and asks if Kounen was that great of a man. Jinshi explains that he took care of him when he was younger. He gives her a gourd of alcohol as thanks. He teases her by talking about a law proposal that wants to raise the drinking age to 20. Maomao begs him to stop it, but he simply laughs.

Though the excitement is contagious and even Maomao looks forward to making purchases of her own, she soon cottons on to something potentially sinister about the innocuous goods for sale.*

*Gyokuen was about to launch a war against the Sand Europeans in the name of appeasing the people who were angry that the locust infestation was caused by a foreign tribe. Jinshi had been racking his brains to avoid a war, but he was able to avoid it by the unexpected assassination of Gyokuen. However, there was no one to take the helm of the western capital that had lost its acting lord. Jinshi was forced to take charge of the government of the western capital, albeit reluctantly. Maomao spent her days examining the injured and sick while taking care of the physically and mentally exhausted Jinshi. Then one day, Jinshi was asked to teach and train the sons of the acting lord, Gyoku-ou, in politics as his successors for the western capital. However, Gyoku-ou's eldest son, Gyokuro, was a hopeless rogue. The other two sons, it turns out, have never been trained to be successors, and Maomao is left scratching her head...*

## Relationships

* Maomao (granddaughter)

The **"Madam"** (やり手婆, *Yarite Babaa*?) of Verdigris House is a recurring character in the *The Apothecary Diaries* series. She is the manager of the Verdigris House and helped raise Maomao.

## Appearance

Though once considered a beautiful courtesan with tears of pearl, the Madam is now an old woman with a grumpy countenance.

## Personality

The Madam's most prominent quality is her stinginess; she frequently threatens Maomao to bring in wealthy customers, never wastes food, and makes sure she collects all of her debts. As a result, she is easily bribed with the right amount of money.

Though stubborn and forceful, she is always thinking about how to make Verdigris House thrive. She does not consider prostitution a bad occupation and wants Maomao to become a courtesan.

She is also not without a degree of kindness, despite her fondness for money. Despite disinheriting her own daughter when she 'became useless', she only did so after Fengxian gave birth (but didn't abandon her completely and allow her to live and being take care in secret room of Verdigris House), and continued to raise her granddaughter Maomao in Verdigris House. Despite being worried about Maomao when she was missing for about 10 months, Madam never show that loving side of herself in front of her grandaughter.

## Abilities

**Finance:** Being a miser and the manager of Verdigris House, the Madam is very good at managing money.

## Background

She was a courtesan for much of her life and became the Verdigris House manager after retiring. As a result, prostitution in the red light district is the only lifestyle she knows.

Despite courtesan's being considered 'useless' when they have children, the Madam did have and raise her own daughter Fengxian.

She may have been the manager when Fengxian was kicked out of Verdigris House, since she permitted Maomao to be raised in Verdigris House until Luomen adopted her.

Jinshi/History

## Background

Jinshi is the child of Lady Ah-Duo and the Current Emperor; however, because the Imperial Brother at the time was a higher priority than Ah-Duo's son, Ah-Duo purposely switched Jinshi with the Previous Emperor's child shortly after birth in order to ensure his safety. As a result, he is recognized as the Imperial Brother of the current Emperor.

Though the Current Emperor wanted Jinshi to be the next Crown Prince, Jinshi despised the idea. To get out of this, he made a bet with the Emperor over a game of Go, with the condition being that if Jinshi lost, he would become Crown Prince; however, if he won, he would take the role of a eunuch. After winning, Jinshi took his introductory role in the series as 'Jinshi', the 24-year-old eunuch who oversaw of the Inner Palace. His actual age being 19, which is revealed in Chapter 34.

## Synopsis

As the Inner Palace overseer, Jinshi was the one who chose Gyokuyou and Lihua as consorts. He discovered and told Gyokuyou that Maomao was the one who warned Gyokuyou and Lihua about the toxic face powder in the Imperial Harem, leading to Gyokuyou hiring her as a poison tester.
Anime Episode 13

**"Serving in the Outer Court"** is the 13th episode of the *The Apothecary Diaries* anime adaptation.

*To Maomao's surprise, Jinshi brings her directly to his house instead of taking her back to the rear palace, and tells her she's to work in the outer court. Not only is there much to learn, it seems there's many eyes on her as the new hire.*

Rikuson

* Light Novel

**Rikuson** (陸孫 (リクソン) , *****Rikuson*****?) is a subordinate of Lakan. He was later sent to the Western Capital to be Gyoku-ou's aid.

## Personality

A gentle, diligent, and quick-witted person, Rikuson is a very capable official. He is able to stay calm in any situation, a skill he trained into himself as a result of his mother's last words. He is a quick thinker and good at manipulating people (though it is likely for their own good). Due to his diligence, Maomao thinks of him as Gaoshun #2.

## Abilities

**Facial recognition**: Rikuson is able to memorize any face he sees, a skill he likely achieved through training and diligent work rather than pure natural talent.

## Background

As a child, his house was raided. His mother and sister hid him and were killed before his eyes; at his mother's behest, he survived by muffling his voice and not making a sound even after they were killed.

He was sent to the Western Capital to be Gyoku-ou attendant, and looked into ways to prevent food shortages from locust plagues. He later assisted farming villages at the front lines of the locust plagues.

Manga Chapter 001

## The Curse of the Inner Court

**The Curse of the Inner Court** (後宮の呪い, *Koukyuu no Noroi*?) is the first chapter of Nekokurage's The Apothecary Diaries manga adaptation.

## Summary

Having been kidnapped and send to the inner palace as a lowly servant, Mao Mao was quickly faced with rumors of the Harem's Curse. A curse that killed not just one but three children of the Current Emperor. After doing some research, Mao Mao discovered that the cause of the sickness going around in the Inner Palace is due to the face powder that the consorts used. The children didn't die from a curse but from lead poisoning of the face powder.

Deciding that she should at least let the High Consorts know, Mao Mao teared out the cloth on her back and wrote a letter telling both High Consort Lihua and Lady Gyokuyou of the face powder poisoning. Unfortunately, Consort Lihua did not heed her words and the young prince passed away. Lady Gyokuyou, on the other hand, manage to stop the poison in time and saved her daughter, Princess Lingli.

Wanting to thank her daughter's savior, Lady Gyokuyou implored Jinshi to discover the person who sent the letter. After little search, Jinshi manages to bring Mao Mao to Lady Gyokuyou who gracefully thanked Mao Mao and invited Mao Mao to serve her as a personal attendant in the Jade Palace.

He’s got even bigger plans, holding a Go tournament that’s open to all—and rumor has it that if anyone can topple the strategist himself, he’ll grant them any single request they might ask. Jinshi sees an opportunity. But it’s not all fun and games, as Jinshi learns when reports arrive of crops devastated by a plague of locusts in a remote village.

淡く揺れなびく風　密かに伝えて

幾代の願いを　纏うひとよ

思い寝の夢じゃなく　結ばれるのなら

人を欺くこと　厭わないほど

光り遮るもののない空仰いで

月の下で貴方を想い踊る

強く　願えば願うほど

色を変えていくの　儚く灯して

美しい姿で　貴方の胸に

抱かれる日がくると信じて咲く花よ

目の前の日常が変わろうと　心はうつろわずに

夢にみた景色の中に　いつか芽吹いて

淡く揺れなびく風　密かに伝えて

幾代の願いを　纏うひとよ

Awaku yure nabiku kaze hisoka ni tsutaete

Ikuyo no negai o matou hito yo

Omoi ne no yume janaku musuba reru nonara

Hito o azamuku koto itowanai hodo

Hikari saegiru mono no nai sora aoide

Tsuki no shita de anata o omoi odoru

Tsuyoku negaeba negau hodo

Iro o kaete iku no hakanaku tomoshite

Utsukushī sugata de anata no mune ni

Daka reru hi ga kuru to shinjite saku hana yo

Me no mae no nichijō ga kawarou to kokoro wa utsurowazu ni

Yume ni mita keshiki no naka ni itsuka mebuite

Awaku yure nabiku kaze hisoka ni tsutaete

Ikuyo no negai o matou hito yo
