The Empress's tonic in Curse of the Golden Flower?!
Question: Why was she expected to drink this several times a day for so many years? Other than the Emperor insisted she was ill whether she really was or not. Was he trying to kill her? Is that why the fungus was added later?

Yes, he was trying to kill her and slowly poison her since he couldn't outright kill her. He simply made an excuse claiming it was medicine.
