After breaking a "curse" on the imperial heirs, a palace servant with training in herbal medicine is promoted up the ranks to food taster... and right into the thick of palace intrigue in this lushly illustrated historical mystery series!

Maomao has proven her worth to the denizens of the palace time and time again, but she's got her work cut out for her on this occasion!

When the ever luminous Jinshi asks for Maomao's help in disguising himself to take care of business outside the palace walls, Maomao must dig deep to mar her employer's heavenly charms! And to make the ploy believable, Maomao herself is roped in to a spot of theatre as Jinshi's companion.

But Jinshi's "business" takes him right to the gates of the pleasure district! Has all Maomao's hard work been for a mere assignation, or is there another mystery afoot?

The Apothecary Diaries 06 (Manga) by Natsu Hyuuga delves deeper into the intriguing world of palace mysteries, offering readers a captivating tale of suspense, ingenuity, and deception.
