"Others might not get an audience, but would he refuse to see you?"
"What sort of person am I? Why must he see me?" Yu Changan retorted, "He can choose to respect me or not… The verdict has already been announced, how could he possibly agree to a change?"

Chen Gui grew anxious and spoke out, "Are we to do nothing? Just wait for Huoshui to be killed?"
Yu Changan was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and, looking towards Yu Changcheng and Chen Gui, said, "Although I know the chance is slim, I must try. I'm going to the palace now, you all wait at home."
