However, if we don't help, Wang Xifeng will definitely hold a grudge, and my grandmother's life in the Jia family will probably not be easy in the future.
Just as she was in a dilemma, a palace maid's voice came from outside the door: "Princess, the Second Prince has arrived."
Daiyu quickly put away the letter and straightened her clothes: "I'm coming right now."
Hongtun was drinking tea in the outer room when he noticed her unusual expression and asked with concern, "Yu'er, is something wrong?"

Daiyu looked up at him, her eyes full of gratitude: "You're right, I was just being stubborn."
Hongtun smiled slightly: "Between you and me, there's no need for thanks?"
Daiyu felt a warmth in her heart and nodded: "Okay, I'll go see Your Highness now."

Daiyu nodded solemnly: "This humble woman understands."
Lin Yun patted her head and said gently, "Go ahead and tell Wang Xifeng that I have granted her permission to enter the palace for an audience. As for Yuan Chun's matter, let's leave it at that and not mention it again."
Daiyu curtsied and said, "Thank you, godmother."
As Daiyu walked out of Kunning Palace, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
She looked up at the sky, silently praying: May everything return to calm after this turmoil...
