Facing Yuan'er's pleading gaze, Youlan sighed helplessly and proceeded to inform the little girl of recent events within the Snow Night Empire. Although it was unclear if Yuan'er could fully comprehend the political issues, she undeniably grasped one thing—her grandparents' lives were in danger.

The plan to go to the hot springs was now completely forgotten. The only thought occupying Yuan'er's mind was to save her grandparents.
The mere notion that her grandparents were at risk of execution caused Yuan'er's heart to beat frantically. She had already lost her parents and twin sister, and her grandparents were her last family. She couldn't afford to lose them! Absolutely not!
