Fang Su almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Your daughters are all in your harem, and you want me to fight against the Xu family? That would be the death of me!
But he dared not say it directly, so he forced himself to say, "It is truly an honor for my daughter to have won His Majesty's favor, but whether the Empress can make an exception is still up to His Majesty to decide."

Feng Bao gave an awkward smile.
Xiao Shiyan narrowed his eyes: "No, she rushed back to the Prime Minister's residence last night. The Xu family must have some kind of conspiracy again!"
