"You cannot see him now," Dong Han disapproved, "You know who the Crown Prince is, he is no stranger to you. If he knows you've come on your own, he'll immediately have you thrown out."
Yang Xueru thought about it and agreed. Even though she knew she should consider the bigger picture, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
She originally wanted to ask Dong Han if she could just take a distant look at the Crown Prince without meeting him, but then Dong Han said, "Today's matter is no joke, arranged by Chief Minister Yang, and it involves more than ordinary assassins. Once fighting breaks out, the danger can only be imagined. I'm giving you another chance, do you want to return to the Yang Mansion, or do you intend to stay and be a hostage for the Crown Prince?"
Yang Xueru was silent for a while, then spoke, "I am willing to stay as a hostage, but I have a question. You must answer truthfully."
Dong Han: "What is your question?"
