Yi Hua could only kneel down: "Your Majesty, my sister Niohuru has contracted a serious illness. The imperial physician examined her personally and said that the disease is extremely serious. The Prince pities my sister and cannot bear to send her away. For the sake of the children, he has no choice but to place her under house arrest. Your Majesty, please understand!"
"She wasn't sick during the selection, but she got sick after arriving at your residence. What will people say about that!" Consort De was determined to suppress Yihua's arrogance. She had long disliked this daughter-in-law, after all, she had obtained what she had always dreamed of.
Yinzhen's protection of her was obvious to everyone, and Consort De was filled with jealousy. Now that Nian Gengyao had given her an outlet, she had become somewhat out of control.
“Your Majesty, I cannot accept your words.” Yi Hua looked up and stared directly at Consort De. “People get sick from eating grains and cereals. I don’t have the means to do that, nor would I stoop to such a thing.”
"You're talking back?!" Consort De was taken aback when her usually submissive daughter-in-law dared to speak to her like that.

Always swallowing her anger, Consort De became increasingly demanding.
Perhaps the best thing she could do at this moment was to generously agree first, and then go back to the mansion and pretend to be pitiful and cry with Yinzhen.
But for some reason, Yi Hua doesn't want to do that now.
The political situation in the court is changing rapidly, and Yinzhen is exhausted every day. Yihua sees this and doesn't want to bother him with such a trivial matter.
Furthermore, Consort De seemed to be using this as an excuse to make trouble today, and I want to see what she's really up to.
