"What are you doing!"
The Empress Dowager's furious reprimand rang out.
Xie Fanglan turned around in delight, raising her voice in greeting, "Aunt!"
The Empress Dowager's face darkened, ignoring Xie Fanglan's call as she hurried over to help the fallen Le You up. Meanwhile, Li Chengyou, who had been darting about, rushed over with a pale face, calling out, "Sister!"
Holding Le You's chubby little hand, the Empress Dowager examined her carefully. Fortunately, Le You wasn't hurt—only her clothes were slightly dusted with dirt.
"Imperial Grandmother, Le You is fine," Le You said, rubbing her arm, still dazed from the fall.
Unconvinced, the Empress Dowager ordered Nanny Qian to summon the imperial physician for another examination.
Xie Fanglan, seeing the Empress Dowager's attention still fixed on a mere child, felt a surge of displeasure and called out again, "Aunt! It's Fanglan—you used to hold me when I was little!"
