The Emperor left for another meditation room to wait.
Empress Dowager Jing pushed open the door to her own meditation room, walked in slowly, and then swung her sleeve backwards, using her inner strength to close the door.
She opened the wardrobe, took out the black and white pills from a small box.
She pulled out the stopper from the white bottle and poured out a deep brown pill, wrapping it carefully in a white cloth.
After doing all this, she intended to leave, but she abruptly stopped.
Her gaze fell onto the small box, she glanced at the place where the imperial decree had previously been placed, and then at the two bottles —
Suddenly, she returned the pill to the white bottle and poured another pill out from the black bottle.
She took the pill from the black bottle and went to the mediation room next door.
The vegetarian dishes were all served.
The Emperor and she were sitting on cushions, with the Emperor personally serving her food.
"You eat it yourself," she said.
