Egads! That is a terrifying expression.
OK, here is my theory.
The statue is not really a statue but the Emperor himself who was frozen into stone during an epic magical battle.
"Hemlock Milk" is here to either restore the emperor back to life somehow, or simply retrieve something from it, like an artifact or information. Maybe just the head will come back to life momentarily, and answer some of Hemlock's questions?
No matter what, this is a great idea for a story.
