Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since Baizhi is willing, then let Baizhi go."
Shuang'er didn't expect that someone would be willing to go to the Eastern Palace in place of Ji Yunhuan. She tugged at Die'er's clothes, her face full of anxiety.
Die'er patted Shuang'er's hand, signaling her sister to relax.

The yard was in a mess, with dead branches and leaves piled up together, and there was no place to step. Ji Yunhuan finally reached the door of the main hall and was about to push it open when he heard the sound of something being smashed inside.
