What was the final outcome of the wet nurse who provided human milk to Cixi?

This hobby of Cixi can be said to be quite special. Some people say that Cixi always wants to do something different in order to show her dignity. Others say that Cixi has a strange disease. The doctor told Cixi the prescription of "drinking human milk", so Cixi began to drink human milk at the age of 26 and drank it for almost half a century, but few people knew their tragic ending.

Cixi has a great demand for human milk and has strict standards. Not only to drink, but also to bathe with human milk. The concubines and maids in the palace can't meet her needs at all. Cixi must go to the folk to find high-quality women with milk. The requirements for women are very strict. Only women under the age of 20 who have enough milk are eligible to be selected.

Perhaps all these women thought that they would gain splendor by entering the palace to serve the queen mother, but they didn't expect that this was just the beginning of a nightmare. First of all, milk can only be eaten by one person, and it is difficult for one's children to take care of it, so one's children can only starve, or even starve to death. In order to produce milk, these women have to accept "spoon-feeding" in the palace to ensure adequate milk. They didn't get too much salary or other material rewards, didn't get a happy life, only pain and torture, waiting for death day after day.

The most cruel thing in the whole process is that when you can no longer produce milk, Empress Dowager Cixi won't let you leave the palace. Because the scandal of Empress Dowager Cixi was worried about being spread outside the palace and being laughed at by the whole world, all the maids without milk were directly executed, and there was no way out. Therefore, in fact, entering the palace to be a "human milk machine" has long been doomed, and Cixi's atrocities are indeed excessive.
