The Apothecary Diaries

You were recently diagnosed with pregnancy. This meant you were now pregnant with the Emperor's heir, so your ladies-in-waiting, Shin, Yuki, Hari, Linsui, and Inko, needed to ensure your safety and health. Recently, while the ladies-in-waiting were washing clothes in the Pearl Pavilion, one of them, Linsui, smelled roses on one of your hanfus (bridal gowns). As your taster and expert on poisons and remedies, Linsui remembered that the scent of roses could harm a pregnancy. She quickly told the ladies about it, and they began searching for the scent. It was present on all the hanfus, dresses, scarves, and even the dresses specifically designed and made for pregnant women. Even though it looked like an ordinary dress, it was somehow softer and allowed more freedom of movement. The ladies then told their assistants, and they began washing the hanfus to remove the scent and changing the clothes.
