If Gao, Xian, Xaixian, and Jia could've gotten along they would've been an unstoppable group. Especially if you added Hailan and Chun. The power they'd have over the whole Harem and even the Emperor would've been insane.
Oddly enough, inhaling/ consuming too much mugwort will make you hallucinate, which is probably why she’s seeing illusions when no one else sees them. Ruyi took advantage of this and took the cake for the win. Edit: depending on translation of the herb they used, they also may have used wormwood, which is a stronger hallucinogenic than common mugwort is. Regardless, the fact the she drank “mugwort wine” is quite literally consuming absinthe. Both help calm the nerves but too much will make you hallucinate.
@@nmjt86 the best part is that Ruyi didn’t have to do anything. Gao Gui Fei is prescribed mugwort as part of Chinese traditional medicine to treat her “coldness”; it’s said to be “warming”.
I know she is used to being pampered but the way she has all of those people attending her in her bath would drive me mad. I would just wanna drink my mugwort wine and relax lmao
