Empress Dowager, for this reason, had sought out Emperor Xia several times. However, Emperor Xia, who has always shown great respect to Empress Dowager, unusually defended Yao Concubine this time.
He stated that the elixir made by Yao Concubine had been verified by physicians and alchemists, containing no toxic properties, and even upon further inspection by Empress Dowager's orders, no issues were found with these elixirs.
Not only that, the elixirs prepared by Yao Concubine could not be replicated by other alchemists.
Emperor Xia even proposed to appoint Yao Concubine as the Imperial Alchemist.
Once this news was out, not just the harem, but even the court was in uproar.
Being an Imperial Alchemist is equivalent to the position of an Imperial Physician, the elixirs used daily in the Imperial Palace, from the concubines to the Empress and the Prince, are all provided by the Imperial Alchemist.
