Don't be afraid, I'm here!
When Empress Mu heard these words, her nose tingled, and tears flowed even faster, her heart growing more sour and aggrieved.
How could she not know that Five Stone Powder is not a good thing, that it's a hallucinogenic poison, but she really couldn't endure the pain that illness brought, that feeling as if someone was drilling a needle into her head, that icy coldness throughout the body, even if wrapped with a scalding Mrs. Tang, covered with several thick cotton quilts, there was not a bit of warmth, who could understand that?
In the sleepless nights, when the pain struck, she wished she could die, but she knew she couldn't; she had responsibilities to bear, so she endured it until she came into contact with Five Stone Powder.
Knowing it was poison, she still took it, because it could relieve her headaches, make her body warm instead of cold.
