1. The Apothecary Diaries
2. The Apothecary Diaries
3. This story is a work of fiction. The names of all of the characters, organizations, and so on
are imaginary. It also bears no connection to any specific real-life events.
4. Episode 10: Honey
5. I heard about the servant
who drowned. It was a suicide!
6. She was a servant at the Garnet Pavilion.
7. I heard she was the one who poisoned
Lady Lishu's food at the garden party...
8. I wonder if she did it because
she served Concubine Ah-Duo?
9. You mean, Pure Consort Ah-Duo?
10. Yeah. She's going to lose her title
as one of the four consorts
11. to be replaced by a new,
younger concubine, I hear.
12. Concubine Ah-Duo is one year older
than the emperor, at 35 years old.
13. She had a male baby with the emperor once,
back when he was still a prince, but lost him.
14. It's too bad, but the whole rear palace
system is built for creating many babies.
15. Mother of a dead male baby.
16. Will the same thing happen to Lady Lihua,
if she can't have another baby?
17. There's no guarantee that Lady Gyokuyou
will continue to have the emperor's love.
18. Even the most beautiful
flowers wilt over time.
19. The flowers of the rear palace are
meaningless unless they bear fruit.
20. I gotta go now.
21. Oh. Take this, too.
22. They're leftovers from yesterday's tea party.
23. Thanks!
24. Enough snacks to have leftovers?
Tea parties are awesome.
25. I'm not so sure.
26. A tea party is definitely a form
of work for a concubine.
27. Maomao, help us set up!
28. Another one?
29. You're working quite hard for this one.
30. Obviously. This time,
it's a high-ranked concubine,
31. the Virtuous Consort, Lady Lishu!
32. The politics of the rear palace
is well-represented here.
33. Welcome, Concubine Lishu.
34. Thank you.
35. Non-stop probing of each other's thoughts.
36. Is it part of the nature of being a woman
to be cautious of the same sex?
37. To be honest, they seem more wary
than when the emperor is here.
38. The way Lady Gyokuyou gleans
information through polite conversation
39. shows how skilled of a concubine she is.
40. I heard she sends the information
she gathers to her family back home.
41. Being a trade hub, it must be
important to understand the times.
42. The taster at the garden party.
43. I'm glad to see she hasn't been
too harshly punished.
44. I'm not going to bite her head off or anything.
45. The other servants aren't paying
attention to their mistress at all.
46. That said, it doesn't seem like they're
actively harassing her, either.
47. If my report to Master Gaoshun
was mistaken, that's fortunate.
48. Do you have any issues with sweets?
49. I love sweets.
50. Great.
51. It's cold out, so I was
wondering if you'd like this.
52. It's orange peels boiled
in honey. It'll warm you up.
53. I hope you like it.
54. Hmm? She can't handle honey, either?
55. Is she being a picky eater again?
56. She won't even eat something served to her?
57. I know, right?
58. Lady Gyokuyou.
59. Oh, my. Ailan, I'm sorry.
60. I think this one needs to
be boiled a bit longer.
61. Let me get you something else.
62. How about hot ginger water?
63. Yes, that's fine.
64. Unfortunately, it seems like
I wasn't wrong about the bullying.
65. We'll clean up here.
66. Maomao, you can rest.
67. I can clean too, you know...
68. How was the tea party for
Concubines Gyokuyou and Lishu?
69. I thought it was odd how that
tea party happened so suddenly.
70. So, it was this guy's idea, after all.
71. They had a enjoyable time.
72. I'm not done with you.
73. Could you please let go?
74. Did you hear that
the garden party poisoning
75. was done by the Garnet Pavilion
servant who committed suicide?
76. I heard the rumors.
77. Do you think she really committed suicide?
78. That's not for me to determine.
79. Why would a common servant
poison Concubine Lishu?
80. I don't know.
81. Well then, can you go help out at
the Garnet Pavilion, starting tomorrow?
82. "Can" I? It's not like I have a choice.
83. Understood.
84. Mansions are painted in their
masters' colors, figuratively speaking.
