"Your eloquence and skill in persuasion will allow you to enter the Second Prince's residence and enjoy wealth and honor, which is naturally a blessing, not a curse! You will come with me to the palace immediately!" She helped Shangguan Jingyi up abruptly and forcibly pulled Tianyun away. Lingqi quickly stepped in front of the young lady, "Grandmother, this is something the young lady does not want to do. You cannot do this!"
