"But the Emperor's attitude towards our family is the same now. Not to mention Consort Hu being banished to the Cold Palace, even Grandpa's side has been under increasing pressure lately! I'm afraid the Emperor is now looking for an opportunity to take a liking to us!"
Hu Tianyong nodded after hearing Hu Feifan's words: "He is indeed tempted! But let me tell you, although the Emperor has a strategy, it's not so easy to play. If he were to force the issue, it would damage the foundation of the country. The Emperor would absolutely not do that. Therefore, I am certain that the Emperor will use Xu Ming to cause trouble for us."

Hu Tianyong smiled slightly: "I've already dug Xu Ming's grave. All I have to do is wait for him to jump in!"
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
Hu Tianyong looked at Lan Xiuyuan and Hu Feifan and slowly said, "I want to lure Xu Ming to the White Tiger Hall! I want him to rebel in front of the Emperor!"
