The Cold Palace is the place in this royal palace that terrifies the concubines the most. Once inside, the chance of rising again is minuscule.
Women who stay in the Cold Palace for long either die quietly, grow old, or go mad. Those who remain clear-minded are exceptionally strong-willed.
Empress Song entered this dreadful place and was tormented to exhaustion within a few days, becoming exceedingly thin.
What kind of place is the Cold Palace? It has its fair share of dead bodies, more mad people, and frequently echoes with ghostly wails, especially when a sudden howl breaks the night, waking anyone.
Empress Song is already pregnant and lacking sleep. Being startled by those mad women's cries might be bearable, but the most terrifying thing is when you're asleep, and suddenly someone in white, with disheveled hair, grabs your hand or leans over your face. Being scared to death isn't a mere exaggeration.
