As they entered the palace, the news of the accident had spread. The guests, their faces a mixture of shock and concern, gathered in small groups, discussing the tragic event.
Prince Yi, his expression grave, approached Wu Xiufan. "Is it the same Yu Xuan we met at the race?" he asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
Wu Xiufan nodded, his face etched with sadness. "Yes, Your Highness," he replied. "He was involved in a car accident."
The Prince's eyes widened. "Is he alright?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
Wu Xiufan shook his head. "His condition is critical," he replied.
The Prince's face paled. The Yu family, while no longer as influential as they once were, were still a respected name in the city. A tragedy involving one of their members would have far-reaching consequences.
"We must do something," the Prince said, his voice filled with determination. "We cannot let him die."
