Purple Jade called Nanny Shen over and pointed out the things Imperial Physician Xu had found.
Nanny Shen's face also darkened, and she picked up the Mud Pill, saying, "I didn't see this thing during my first examination."
"Really?"
Nanny Shen nodded, pointing at the wood, "I just thought it was ordinary Agarwood fragments."
"Though you are proficient in medicinal herbs, you're not a doctor, so it's understandable that you didn't recognize it. The potion soaked in this wood is just the usual Labor-inducing Medicine. But the medicine in the golden hairpin is made from rare ingredients, which, as far as I know, only existed in the Former Dynasty's palace; it's a banned secret medicine."
"That mother and daughter absolutely can't get their hands on such a secret medicine," Purple Jade said sternly.
Imperial Physician Xu remained silent; he was aware of such Underworld Office matters but wouldn't interfere.
