It’s Qin Jiuge and grandpa.
"Grandfather, are you willing to endure this injustice?" Qin Jiuge's voice was filled with indignation.
"Just because of a minor incident involving a drunken brawl between two soldiers from Zuo Xiaoying, Chu Lang had the audacity to criticize you for lax military management and your indulgence of your subordinates in front of the entire court! He's clearly nitpicking, deliberately looking for trouble to embarrass you!"
"Jiuge, be careful with your words!"
Duke Dingguo's voice was a little weary. "Your Majesty is now seriously ill, and the Second Prince is acting as regent. He has his own reasons. I... have indeed failed to discipline my subordinates strictly. This is undeniable."
Qin Jiuge sneered: "Chu Lang's consideration is to suppress old ministers like you and reduce your power!"

There was a hint of fatigue and loneliness in the old man's voice that was hard to conceal.
Obviously, his granddaughter's 'change' and silence also hurt him deeply.
