Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Vol. 7 Ch. 34 - Gao Shun

[TheGodEmperor]

Not enough Mao Mao! Though, getting more character and world background was nice

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Ah, the classic infodump at the start of a new arc.

 

[Xeredge]

Wow, I learned a lot this chapter, whew.

 

[Izuna]

@0verSky i think its start from vol.2 ch.13

 

[rjayuban]

What part of the novel is this chapter?

Edit: nvm somebody already answer the question

 

[nyanpass]

@Midoriha its soy obviously
Jinshi is a fucking soyboy

 

[lovelyluna]

I swear to God, I'm starting to worry that the author is trying to foreshadow that

Spoiler

[/Gao Shun is behind most of this.]

 

[musicfreak12]

I don't get it, how did that medicine work? Is it like suppressing testosterone and adding in estrogen? Is it even safe for a man to consume estrogen?

 

[Rinfolia]

@lovelyluna How did you get that impression?

 

[King_pin]

Lol the emperor wants his girls to wear the same kind of outfit like in anime. If they change clothes he can't recognise them.

 

[Harvester]

It sounds like it could be what's often referred to as TJ-68, which is a blend of white peony and licorice root that's been around for a long time... there's a few clinical studies indicating that it can reduce blood testosterone, has a history of usage in Japan and China, and would have a similarly off-putting sweet taste (plenty of people don't like licorice/anise after all). On the other hand, there are other things that have similar effects and the leaves/roots in the image don't look like them.

 

[BCS]

So it's basically confirmed that he's a fake eunuch(which everyone saw coming) and emperor's son(which everyone saw coming)?

 

[Spotspot01]

@BSC Yes or maybe he is the emperor's younger brother?

 

[Torappu]

Gao Shun's wife was Jinshi's nursing mother?
Gao is only 13 years older than Jinshi though,
so either Gao married a much older woman, or a teen was being assigned to breastfeed Jinshi.
I guess this is ancient China.
Ah, I didn't catch that his persona is older than his real age.

 

[Spotspot01]

@Torappu They mentioned that they got married at 16....

 

[JaneJeon]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG WTF

JINSHI IS ONLY 19
HE'S A ROYAL?!?

 

[Azure_1802]

Hmm, the previous lolicon emperor was really disgusting. Luckily thanks to the plot the empress dowager survived after giving birth.

 

[Xamdiz]

@kazaddum @mi3aw_
Thanks, I was wondering between the two options because it wasn't clear in this chapter. But things made sense now.

 

[Frangar]

Huh, time to explain something has come, isn't it?
This is one of these necessary-even-if-bit-boring chapters. I'm not complaining eh, it's still a new chapter of this marvelous manga. The only thing it lacks in the story it's a bit of gratitude towards MaoMao. She saved two, no, THREE emperor's consorts, the emperor's heir, the EMPEROR'S BROTHER (or son, at this day I'm still not sure what Jinshi is), and she's still cleaning dishes at least I hope they gave her the precious ox bezoar


And, obviously, thanks a lot for the new chapter guys!

 

[leusee]

Hope there's more Mao Mao next ch but oh well
