Hey everyone!  It’s been a while, but the resurrection medicine has finally worn off.  This series has completed pulled me in with its rear palace drama, clever mysteries, and Maomao’s sharp one-liners, I figured there’s no better way to restart than by sharing some of the best quotes.

1.)

“If I should die, I’d want to die of poison.”

2.)

“I’m very sorry, sir.  I’m afraid I might have crushed a frog.”

3.)

“There were some things which, no matter how transcendent, the world was not meant to see.  It was fearsome to realize that with just a dash of lip color, Jinshi might possess the power to bring low at least a couple of small villages.”

4.)

“Next time you see the Emperor, ask what he thought of my lesson.”

5.)

“Why, today he reported to me that you gazed at him as though he were a slug.”

6.)

“My knowledge comes from my vocation—I was an apothecary.  Until I was abducted and sold into this place…The thought turns my stomach.”

7.)

“My cat is most wary, yet not only was she willing to speak to you, she seems to be earnestly considering you as a possible match for a woman she thinks of as an older sister.”

I can’t wait for the third season to air! In the meantime, this series is what’s pulled me into the world of light novels—I wasn’t ready for the rear palace’s adventures to end just yet. Were there any scenes or favorite quotes of yours that I missed? Let me know in the comments!
