"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault for not taking good care of the princess."
"Imperial Physician Chang, I have already given the princess the medicine to treat her illness. After taking the medicine, the princess was fine, but then she passed away..."
Xuan'er knelt down and took the lead in admitting her mistake, then recounted the situation in detail.
"Fu-er-kang!!!"
Upon hearing that it was Fu Erkang who triggered her daughter's illness, the Empress Dowager was furious.
"Eunuch Pu, take some men and bring Fu Erkang to me."
"Your Majesty, we need quiet now. Please go outside and wait."

She already disliked Ziwei, not to mention that she had hurt Chennian because of her.
The Queen laid everything out in the open, without hiding anything or embellishing anything.
"What's wrong with Erkang? Don't hold back, just say it—"
Upon hearing the Empress pause, the Empress Dowager knew that the important part was yet to come.
"Fu Erkang said that Niannian was no big deal and told Ziwei not to be afraid."
"That's right, it's a veiled way of saying that without her father and mother, Niannian has no one to protect her. Niannian clearly understood the implication. I arrived just in time to hear those words—"
