Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

When Mr. Nong left the clinic on a fast foot, he headed to the Palace where Lady Lu Lan lived.

The other women were surprised that the deep greens bit their tongues but managed to hit the cure. At least you'll count on more than that poor mustache doctor.

They all didn't seem to know why the deep green bit their tongues. Perhaps there are no accomplices in the clinic. Even if I was there, I now had more certainty than that.

Until last year there was no shadow to see, turning it into a rugged, exotic building.

Mr Nong knocks on the door slightly stronger.

After a while, the samurai opened the door for me.

When Mr. Nong exhaled a little, he stuck to smile as usual. The samurai thanked me and let me in.

It passes through a hallway lined with flashy spirals and, as usual, passes to the receptacle. Already, the mistress of this palace was waiting, as usual, lying in a long chair and polishing her nails.

Mr Nong narrows his eyes. There are six samurai around, and somehow she adores taking care of Lady Shirakuran.

All dressed flashy and wore ethnic costumes worn today by Eastern island nations. The costume, layered with many kimonos, is vivid to the eyes.

The ladies' kimonos are not as good as Lady Luan's, but they are wearing many pieces, and they don't know their shape. Yet it was strange because he was wearing makeup that would give him a sharp angle on his face.

Mr. Nong wants to tilt his neck wondering why it would be so flashly dressed. I wonder if you know that emperor is pioneering in its flashfulness.

No, Mr. Nong blinked. Didn't the cat and cat say it before? About a maid named Zicui. And wasn't the samurai the way Lady Lu Lan was disguised in play?

When Mr. Nong first found out about it, he didn't think so.

Lady Lu Lan, whom Mr. Nong knew, was the daughter of Zichang and a senior lady who fully understood it.

Lady Lu Lan conceals her mouth with a feather fan and punches her in the ear by a samurai. It frightened me that it was something that we would talk about in a much more itchy way, but there was no way.

If the cat and cat didn't realize that a maid named Zicui was Lady Lulan, Mr. Nong wouldn't have noticed either.

What is it...

Mr. Nong approached Lady Lu Lan without sitting in the chair provided by the samurai.

"What is it? Isn't it rude, Mr. Nong?"

One of the samurai went with him. What did you say your name was? Mr Nong intends to bear in mind, once and for all, the names and origins of how many samurai there are in each palace. However, the samurai of the Tsugura Palace always dress differently, wear makeup and, paradoxically, have a very similar shape.

So even if I remember the name, it doesn't match my face.

Mr. Nong reached out and pinched the fan that Lady Lu Lan had in her finger and threw it away.

"Hey, what!?

One of the samurai shouted.

Lady Lu Lan turns her back to Mr. Nong so that she is frightened, and the maids stand up in cover of it. It looks like the behavior of my husband's thoughts but it's not.

Mr Nguyen gives his eyes to the officers with him. The maids were drawn from Lady Lu Lan.

Mr. Nong grabs Lady Luan's shoulder with a slightly more powerful hand. Turn that face you turn away from me.

A flashy makeup face, but its cheeks were dyed red.

"Indeed, Lady Lu Lan had seven maids in her care."

Mr Nong said to confirm.

The daughter, spoiled as the daughter of Zichang, when she entered, drew more than fifty squire.

Mr. Nong put his finger on Lady Luan's face and put his makeup on it. The back double pompous eyes become dewy.

"Shuanglin (Sorin), I wonder if it's Nagafeng (Lempu). Your name is."

Mr Nong was grinning not to reveal his anger on that face. But the maid who turned into Lady Lu Lan turned her red face into a bright blue. I'm shaking my body when I hang around.

"Ji..."

One of the samurai tried to interrupt again to delude him, but Mr. Nong glanced at it. I glanced at my body and solidified.

"Where did the real thing go?

Was it all set from the beginning? I put a ton of squire in the backyard, I chose all the samurai very similar to myself, and every time, I dressed bizarre to make sure I didn't know who would replace me.

So this was the purpose from the beginning?

So where did the real thing go?

"Where have you been?

……

The lady who has turned into Lady Lu Lan is just trembling and doesn't try to talk about anything.

There is strength in Mr. Nong's hands.

"Where have you been?

Along with a third question, the samurai who earlier tried to interrupt pushed her body in. When I hold the false queen to shelter, I look down at Mr. Nong, lowering my eyebrows.

"I'm sorry. She really doesn't know."

I didn't realize they were all dressed similarly, but this samurai seems to be some older than fake building orchids.

"Forgive me"

And the samurai looked at the feet of the false queen at first sight.

The long clothes were wet and the droplets fell from the toes when she passed on her legs.

Mr. Nong removed the jaw of the false queen he had grabbed. The eyes of the false queen are opened, and her pupils are open. My, uh, rough breath, I was shaking.

On the white neck and jaw, Mr. Nong grabbed it and then left it clear.

Allowing the daughters of high-ranking officials into the rear palace is, in fact, an act that benefits the imperial side as well.

Sometimes, if their daughters were in possession, their grandchildren would take the position of Heavenly Son. On the other hand, however, there are disadvantages.

Not all parents are, but some of them don't hurt to see a daughter. A birdcage called the rear palace is also a place to treat such a worthy daughter as a hostage.

Zichang has only the son of his righteous wife, Lu Lan, besides the son of his concubine, Zicui.

He also looked so adorable, considering his push on the rear palace.

Such a daughter is in the position of superior queen.

At the same time as this one notices, Lu Lan must also adhere to the minimum norms.

Already, you don't have to wear the Queen because you broke that code.

They said, "I'm not going back."

Solemnly said an earlier samurai. The woman, who said she was the head of the maid of Lu Lan, answered Mr Ng's question instead of the false queen. The false queen is unable to breathe well, and she cannot talk at all. Best of all, he was only made to take the place of his queen because he resembled Lu Lan, and he didn't seem to know much about the situation.

As usual, I suppose you thought he told you to take his place at the whim of Lu Lan.

Mr. Nong holds his fist all the time.

I shouldn't have had that one. I realise I was wrong to do what Mr. Tsubaki, a gentle grinning officer, did. However, Mr. Nong's emotions were not calm enough to take other ways on that occasion.

I'm not going back, that means I'm out of the rear palace.

Escape from the rear palace is a felony that sometimes means capital punishment. If it becomes a superior queen, the sin will be even greater.

Looks like a hooker's foot is missing, my pharmacist daughter used to say. Mr. Nong laughed bitterly when it seemed like that girl was where the next emperor would be born, along with that of the pleasure district.

The daughter, too, has yet to be found.

Presumably, he left the rear palace with Lu Lan.

In the case of cats and cats, given their character, it is possible that they may follow suit of their own accord. But my daughter is still being shredded by her rejection of soba. It's more likely they took him without a response.

What the hell for?

And how was it outside?

Doubts remain.

I just questioned the samurai head and just shook her head. Some hands are tortured, but Mr Ng thinks it's futile too.

The eyes of the samurai head were not lying.

All the samurai, the maiden, and the manpower involved in Lady Lu Lan, gathered them in one place and locked them away. The auditorium that did that rear palace class was just the right size.

As a precaution, we have been working authentically to identify each of the women in the rear palace, but so far we have not found a woman who looks like an orchid.

In any case, I decided to leave it to Lady Tamaha in a high order, even though her hair was wrapped around her back, instead of standing in a state where she could give birth.

Mr. Nong holds his head in the office.

Because of an emergency, Horseflash (Basen) was following Mr. Nong.

I'm not free to sell oil here. I still feel so anxious to jump out and have to go find Lu Orchid.

But there's too little information. Now, just popping up, it's tantamount to finding a single needle out of the desert sand.

Mr. Nong, therefore, has no choice but to turn right and left in the office.

In the meantime, Horseflash sees Hikaru. Apparently the guest is in front of the office, and you want to tell him not to dress up in disgrace.

I have no choice but to sit in a chair and pretend to be calm.

What came in was a small fox-eyed man, Luo Han (Rahan).

"What do you got?

Luo Han had taken the job from Mr. Nong in return for the cost of repairing the outer wall of the rear palace, which was broken by his uncle and adoptive father, Rahan (Lakan).

Quite a money-keeper, with the arm that Mr. Nguyen had half of the repair bill, as well as multiplying it with the repairer for three discounts on the quote.

Luo Han narrows his eyes, resembling someone elusive somewhere, and spreads the map on the table.

"Has it been the last fifteen years or so? Little by little, but surely, there were regions with increasing circulation of stone, wood, iron, etc."

Luo Han points to the north side of the capital. Around the plains and mountains on the back.

The region doesn't have a big city like this. If there was, there were as many fortifications that were used as military garrisons during the Emperor's time. I also remember that was a place that had been abandoned in recent decades to reduce maintenance costs because it was peaceful. I hear that it was difficult to handle snow accumulation, etc. in winter because it was in the highlands, not where the enemy would attack.

"You know what? This neighborhood used to flourish as a Yuji field. Now, off the trade route, it's a neglected place named Hidden Secret Water."

"What's wrong with that?"

A slightly short-hearted horse flashes his mouth at Luo Han, who is distracted.

"It means there's a sulphur spring. Compared to the volcanic zones of the South, they are inferior in quality and quantity, but I think we can take that much throughout the year."

When I heard it was sulfur, Mr. Nong's ears tingled. It is a common material for gunpowder.

Abandoned forts, stones, wood, iron, and sulfur.

Speaking of further north, it is close to the territory of Zichang. Considering the location of the territories of the officials named by Luohan, they are in a not so bad position.

Exactly nothing more than a smell.

"How about that? Should I have more reliable numbers?

Mr. Nong can only sigh at the more unexpected answer. On the spot, Horseflash holds the map and gives it to the undersecretary.

This little guy says the numbers can be seen in some way, but he'll be right. What belongs to the house of 'Ro' is truly horrible.

"So can't we even find out if there's a loophole in the rear palace?"

I accidentally said so.

"Is it the backyard? But the biggest construction was the expansion that was there about forty years ago, right? Now the outer walls should have been built at that time too, but if there's any chance it could be done there?"

"... is that true?

I knew that Zichang had instigated the Empress and enlarged the rear palace as it is now. Maybe he's also likely involved in construction.

Forty years ago, however, it is much older. Forty years from now, I don't think my own daughter will use it to escape.

"If you look at the material at the time, you will know the vendor who used it at that time. Multiple, likely used, so let's pick out what the demonic numbers were?

"... please"

"Bye."

And, what I took out was the bill for the other half of the repair that Rahan broke. Half of it is paid for by Mr. Nong, and the other half is supposed to be held by Luohan.

"... ok"

Mr Nguyen promises to pay in full. Later, the water lotus blames me with an indescribable grin of "Oh, well," and it comes to my mind in various ways how deep the creases between the brows in high order become.

It's horrible to make Luohan an enemy, but I don't think Mr. Nong wants to make this adopted son an enemy again.

With all this ability, it is a mystery as to why I am starting the Abacus as a single civilian. I had accidentally spoken of the question.

"With as much talent as you, you'd be able to emerge more upwards, wouldn't you?

Luo Han in those words makes him laugh as he waves his head.

"So, can't you get the distorted flow of gold right?

Numbers are beautiful because they are not obscure.

This man also felt again that he was a cat and cat cousin.

They have their own aesthetics.
