Appeasing the Ling Family

Old Madam Ling’s voice rang out, "No matter what, I hope Your Majesty will ask any questions later. If we delay the purging of the poison, then the consequences will be disastrous! Dare I ask Your Majesty something? If anything untoward happens to Consort Ling, then will the Empress be willing to bear the responsibility?!" A hint of warning revealed itself in her tone, especially focusing on the words ‘then the consequences will be disastrous!’

"Old Madam Ling, your words are too severe. This Empress doesn’t know anything about the purging of poison, so what’s wrong with going in to take a look? My relationship with Sister Ling has always been good, don’t tell me Old Madam Ling is unwilling to even let me see my sister? What kind of words are you speaking?"
