Concubine Min shook her head, "The imperial doctors have already checked on her pulse and told us that the poison inside her was quickly eating away her body." Grabbing her son's hands, she continued, "Son, I don't want to lose your sister. She's my only daughter and I won't forgive myself if something happens to her."
