## Shaoh

The country of **Shaoh** is a secondary setting of *The Apothecary Diaries*. It is set somewhere to the west of the Country of Li and does not appear to have an obvious analog in the real world. It is known to be largely desert with its economy being based around commercial and trading interests.

## Notes

* It is possible that Shaoh is some version of a country in western Asia around present day southeastern Kazakhstan, but it is not clear. Since Shaoh is considered a desert country, it could be near modern day Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan. It would likely have been some sort of significant waypoint on the "silk road". The people of Shaoh do have an analog called the Kipchaks who lived west of Tibet and were known to have spread from the area of modern day Romania to as far east as east Kazakhstan. THe Kipchaks were described as having "blond or red hair, blue or green eyes".

## The Meaning of the Hairpins

**The Meaning of the Hairpins** (簪の意味, *Kanzashi no Imi*?) is the tenth chapter of Nekokurage's *Kusuriya no Hitorigoto* manga.

## Summary

According to Xiaolan, everyone has been talking about the garden party. Xiaolan doesn't know that Maomao was the maid who drank the poison. When she learns that Maomao has received four hairpins at the party, she tells Maomao that she can leave the inner court. Xiaolan explains that a lady can use a hairpin to send for a man and request a leave from the inner court.

Some time later, Maomao requests to meet with Lihaku. Maomao asks for him to vouch for her so she can go back to see her family. Lihaku is annoyed to be used in this way, but Maomao offers him suitable compensation: letters of introduction to the Three Princesses of the Verdigris House. Lihaku is skeptical, since the Three Princesses are known to be out of reach for even the most high-ranking officials. Maomao makes to leave, mentioning that she has other options, so Lihaku gives in and agrees.

Maomao will be able to visit her home for three days. The Jade Pavilion maids congratulate Maomao, but Hongniang is uneasy because Maomao seems to have no idea what the hairpins truly mean. Gyokuyou, on the other hand, is amused by the thought of how Jinshi will react when he learns of this.

	+ Sapphire is the national gemstone for the United States and Greece.

* Sapphire is typically very durable, and considered to be one of the hardest materials on earth.
	+ It is the second hardest substance on earth after diamond, rating 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.

	+ Sapphire colors are best viewed under natural daylight. In artificial or incandescent light, sapphire colors can appear darker and inky black-blue.

## Gemology

Gemstone Information

Metal-coated crystals are natural crystals, such as quartz, whose surface has been coated with metal to give them an iridescent metallic sheen. Crystals treated this way are used as gemstones and for other decorative purposes. Possible coatings include gold (resulting in a stone called aqua aura), indium, titanium, niobium and copper. Other names for crystals treated so include angel aura, flame aura, opal aura or rainbow quartz.

Aqua aura is created in a vacuum chamber from quartz crystals and gold vapour by vapour deposition. The quartz is heated to 871 °C (1600 °F) in a vacuum, and then gold vapor is added to the chamber. The gold atoms fuse to the crystal's surface, which gives the crystal an iridescent metallic sheen. When viewed under a gemological microscope in diffused direct transmitted light, aqua aura displays the following properties:

a coppery surface iridescence in tangential illumination
diffused dark outlines of some facet junctions
a patchy blue colour distribution on some facets
white facet junctions, irregular white abrasions and surface pits, where the treatment either did not "take" or had been abraded away.
Rainbow quartz have been treated with a combination of titanium and gold. Titanium molecules are bonded to the quartz by the natural electrostatic charge of the crystal in a process known as magnetron ionization. The brilliant color of flame aura is the result of optical interference effects produced by layers of titanium. Since only electricity is used to deposit the titanium layers and create these colors, very little heat is involved and the integrity of the crystal is maintained. The crystal does not become brittle or prone to breakage as with other treatments.

## Returning Home

**Returning Home** (里帰り, *Satogaeri*?) is the tenth chapter of Nekokurage's *Kusuriya no Hitorigoto* manga.

## Summary

Jinshi is stunned when he learns from Gyokuyou that Maomao has already left the inner court. Meanwhile, Maomao and Lihaku have arrived at the Verdigris House. The Madam greets Maomao violently, but seems interested in Lihaku for his rising career and youth. She asks for Pairin, one of the Three Princesses, to be brought to him. After Lihaku leaves, the Madam berates Maomao for disappearing for ten months, though Maomao reminds her that she sent her a letter. She gives the Madam some of her wages, but the Madam says that it isn't enough and suggests that Maomao becomes a courtesan. Maomao refuses. The Madam tells her to go back to her father.

Maomao finally returns home and sees her father, Luomen. The two have a happy reunion, and Maomao tells Luomen about everything that happened to her. When Maomao falls asleep, Luomen muses that it was fate that she ended up in the inner court. The next morning, Maomao wakes to find her father gone. As she goes outside to look at the garden, she hears a banging on the door. An apprentice from one of the brothels is looking for her father, but when she sees Maomao, she drags her to her brothel.

There, Maomao finds a courtesan and her client unconscious in a bed, seemingly having ingested poison. Maomao manages to save them. She inspects the crime scene, which consists of two decanters of liquor, broken glass, stains of two different colors on the bed, a pipe, and straw. She also finds some tobacco. The apprentice gives her the charcoal and bark she asked for. Maomao writes something on it and instructs the apprentice to go and give it to her father.

*Dismissed from the rear palace, Maomao returns to service in the outer court—as the personal serving woman to none other than Jinshi! That doesn't necessarily make her popular with the other ladies, but a bit of jealousy might be the least of her problems. A mysterious warehouse fire, an official with a very bad case of food poisoning, and the mysterious last will and testament of a deceased craftsman all demand her attention—but are these cases really separate, or do they share a troubling connection? Then there's the mysterious military man who continually visits Jinshi. He's strange, maybe even a little twisted... and he seems very interested in Maomao.*

Consort

**This article is a stub.**
*You can help the The Apothecary Diaries Wiki by expanding it.*

**Consort** in the context of *The Apothecary Diaries* refers to persons attached to the Emperor as part of the Imperial harem system usually with the intent to help the Emperor produce heirs. The highest ranking consorts each had their own Pavilion in the Inner Court of the Imperial Palace. Below the highest ranking consorts are middle-rank consorts who also reside in the Inner Court, but usually must share a residence with other consorts. Middle consorts have very little chance of getting the Emperor's attention, but may have the opportunity to rise in rank. It is not clear what that status of low-rank consorts are in comparison, but they are presumable consorts of Imperial officials in the Imperial Palace.

**Suirei** (翠苓 (スイレイ) , *****Suirei*****?) is the first daughter of Shishou, the half-sister of Loulan, and a former court lady in the Outer Court. She is an antagonist and supporting character of *The Apothecary Diaries*.

## Appearance

Suirei is a tall and beautiful woman; despite having first-class natural beauty, she wears heavy makeup on her face, something which Maomao commented might put her at risk if she worked for young military officials. She displays a calm and aloof demeanor.

## Personality

Suirei is an introvert and does not have much energy to talk to others. She seems to have a somewhat strict personality, as she admonished Maomao for nearly trespassing on military quarters. She likes medicinal herbs, having learned of them from her adoptive grandfather, and was permitted to plant them in the medicinal garden of the Outer Court.

## Abilities

**Herbal medicine:** Trained by a former court physician, she was very skilled in herbal medicines and grew herbs in the Outer Court--including "resurrection medicine".

## Background

The first child of Shishou and the banished princess, she was given the name Shisui at birth. After her mother's death, she was raised by her adoptive grandfather while being abused by her stepmother Shenmei. Along with her grandfather, she researched resurrection medicine. At some point, she went to the Outer Court to serve as a court lady, using the alias Suirei in order to prevent shame from falling on her half-sister Loulan, who was not given the Shi name despite being the child of the main wife.

**Gaoshun** (高順 (ガオシュン) , *****Gaoshun*****?) is a secondary character in *The Apothecary Diaries* series. Initially introduced as Jinshi's assistant, but later transferred back to be the Emperor's assistant, Gaoshun is in charge of various tasks in the inner and outer palace to lessen the work load of his master.

 Appearance

Gaoshun has short black hair and black eyes. Although he looks quite young for his age, the wrinkle between his eyes and forehead depicts the stress he endures everyday from Jinshi and his wife.

## Personality

On the outside, Gaoshun appears calm, aloof, and capable; as a high-ranking official, he is intelligent, diligent, and quick on the uptake. He would sometimes show his angry side towards his son when he failed to do his job properly. On the inside, he has a fear of women due to his overly bossy wife. Despite being a high official, he'll humble down to do peasant work if the command comes from a woman.

## Ability

**Politics:** As a court official, he's good at dealing with policies to help ease the workload of his master.

**Combat:** As Jinshi's assistant, he's not only good with paper work but also very capable in combat as well. He serves as both and assistant and a bodyguard to Jinshi.

## Background

When Gaoshun was 16, he married his older childhood sweetheart, Taomei. Taomei gave birth to Basen around the same time as Jinshi was born, and therefore became Jinshi's wet nurse. Thus, Gaoshun played a large role in raising Jinshi, becoming something of a surrogate father.

In terms of career, Gaoshun originally served as the Emperor's assistant; however, following Jinshi becoming a eunuch, was asked to be Jinshi's assistant. After Jinshi took the role of Imperial Brother, Gaoshun was transferred back to the Emperor's side.

Notebook

## Relationships

* Former Emperor (Husband; Former)
* Shishou (Husband; Deceased)
* Loulan (Daughter)
* Suirei (Step-Daughter)

**Shenmei** (神美 (シェンメイ) , *****Shenmei*****?) was the lady of the Shi Clan's main branch and the main wife of the Northern Capital overseer Shishou. Due to her actions, she was a main antagonist of *The Apothecary Diaries*.

## Appearance

A high-ranked consort of the Former Emperor, she was extremely beautiful, but lost her beauty to old age.

## Personality

She was a vengeful woman who was jealous of those more beautiful than her, including the Former Emperor and Jinshi.

## Background

Twenty years ago, she was betrothed to Shishou; however, she was later brought to the Former Emperor's Imperial Harem as a high-ranking consort so that the Empress Regnant could keep an eye on the Shi Clan through her. Suirei's mother worked under her, but after being impregnated by the Former Emperor, Shenmei abandoned her.

As a result of Shishou's meritorious behavior in helping the Empress Regnant cut off the slave trade, she was bestowed back to her original fiance Shishou; however, since Shishou already had a wife and daughter, she killed Suirei's mother and violently abused Suirei. She later gave birth to Loulan.

She plotted to ruin the country for making a fool of her, and chased out the members of the Shi Clan who stood against her, but her plans were foiled by Shishou and Loulan, who pretended to go along with her plans and allowed her to ruin herself by garnering the most foolish of followers. During the Rii's army attack on the Northern Capital, she attempted to shoot Loulan and Jinshi after learning of Loulan's deception by taking Loulan's hand cannon; however, the cannon was defective and hit Shenmei with its shrapnel instead, causing her to die from blood loss.

## Trivia

* Her name Shenmei (神美) means "divine beauty" in Japanese and Chinese.

Euclase (Left Arm Gem)

## Euclase

**Euclase** was a Homeworld Gem who had since joined the Crystal Gems and an original character made by **BlueWhiteLight**.

## Personality

Euclase is described as an intelligent, kind and precautioned gem who makes sure her experiments or other gems' decisions are safe.

## Abilities

Euclase possesses standard Gem abilities including bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness and superhuman strength/durability.

## Gemology

Gemstone Information

* Euclase is called the happiness stone. It increases happiness by stimulating activity ruled by the heart and intuition.
* The energy of euclase is like a moving river in the way it cleanses blockages from the etheric body.
* Euclase helps one reach for goals and attain the ultimate in any area. It awakens creativity, and the forces of creativity and manifestation.
* The name euclase comes from the combination of two Greek words: eu, which means ‘well’, and klasis, which means ‘breaking’
* Although euclase is an extremely popular stone amongst mineral collectors, it does have a tendency to chip, so very special care must be taken when cutting and polishing the stone.
* Often times, the stone’s fragility causes problems with its durability. Euclase’s cleavage is parallel to the plane of symmetry, so the stone is most often rendered into step cut and table cuts, with the bluish-green being the most highly valued.
* Some euclase stones are not as valuable as they suffer from uneven color distribution.
