Bai Wutong admired Virtuous Consort from the bottom of her heart for her forthright nature. She never spoke in riddles, nor did she put on airs in her conduct. Being around her was comfortable, as there was no need to rack one’s brain with guesswork.
Since Virtuous Consort was so candid, Bai Wutong felt there was no need to hold anything back and decided to get straight to the point.
"I heard that Imperial Concubine Wen visited you a few days ago. While the miracle drug she uses has remarkable effects, its toxicity is extreme. It aggravates the cold energy in the body and is highly detrimental to conception—this has been personally verified by the physicians at the Imperial Hospital. It would be best for you to maintain some distance from her for the time being, so as not to be implicated."
