She wasn't quite sure whether it was the white medicine prescribed by Consort Jing that was no longer effective, the black medicine from her aunt that was failing, or perhaps both were simultaneously becoming ineffective.

The weather today was nice, and there were many people in the Imperial Garden.
As luck would have it, Consort Jing was also there.
