Chapter 318

Hearing Consort Jing's words, the Empress silently thought that it was just as she had expected. Although she was already mentally prepared, Consort Jing's action today was entirely aimed at waking the Emperor. Never had she expected, however, that Consort Jing would actually dare to feed the Emperor this Ansheng Baoji Pill. While she herself had never heard of this particular pill, she certainly knew about the Ginseng Baoji Pill that Rong Sheng had previously developed. Based on her own speculation, the efficacy of the Ansheng Baoji Pill was likely quite similar to that of the Ginseng Baoji Pill produced by the Rong Family. She had also heard that the formula was developed by Wu Weiwei, a concubine of Lu Hanting, but had actually been misappropriated and produced by Rong Sheng in Jiangnan. Yet the Ginseng Baoji Pill developed by Rong Sheng had caused the deaths of Noble Consort Kang and her own mother, and the Emperor had ordered the confiscation of the Rong Family's assets over the matter precisely because of it. Hence, the formula had never been circulated in the open market.
