Empress dowager/Liu Xiqiao{FL Dad's mom}

(Calm tone) Jinyan, it's been many years since you allowed visitors to come inside Qianqing palace. Even the emperor wasn't allowed to come in. How come these two can enter so easily?

lmperial concubine Shu/Shu Chunxue

Empress dowager, just now l and sister Qing were taking a walk in royal garden and heard that the seventh prince suddenly fell ill and has been sent back to Qianqing palace, so, we both came here.

Empress dowager/Liu Xiqiao{FL Dad's mom}

😡😡😡😡(Angry tone) Consort Qing, you have been taking care of the seventh prince for so many years. You know that the he is weak since birth but you still let him fall ill. l don't think you are qualified to be-

Noble consort Yun/Yun Jinyan {FL mother}

(Didn't let her finish) Empress dowager, this matter can't be blamed on Consort Qing completely. Currently, we still don't know the exact reason of Dalin's illness. May Empress dowager take the decision after finding the source and cause. (Calm tone)

Empress dowager/Liu Xiqiao{FL Dad's mom}

Hmmmmm.
