"This humble servant greets Your Majesty the Empress! May Your Majesty live a thousand years!"
"Greetings, Princess Zhiya."
"Consort Gu, if I remember correctly, the Empress Dowager did not invite you here today, did she?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianxue was overcome with sadness, and tears slowly streamed down her face.
She slowly raised her handkerchief to cover half of her tear-reddened cheek, and said in a hoarse voice...
"Your Majesty, Xue'er knows that forcibly entering the royal execution ground is a serious crime, but when I heard that the Second Prince had fallen ill, my heart felt as heavy as if I had swallowed a stone, so I rushed over without stopping, hoping to take care of him."

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while. I will come to report to you again when the Second Prince wakes up."
"good!"
The empress had just touched the chair when a heart-wrenching wail came from the side of the bed.
