"As long as you don't fall into the trap, no one can harm you." Consort Qiao advised again: "So, what you need to do most now is to be patient, be filial to the Emperor, and be friendly to your brothers. If the Emperor sees this, he will be happy and his anger will naturally subside. If you persuade the Emperor again, I think he will give Consort Qi a chance."
Hongshi's eyes lit up.
Consort Qiao smiled slightly: "Third Prince, do not disappoint Consort Qi's expectations of you. As for the others, as long as the Emperor is satisfied with you, what is there to fear from the others?"
"Thank you very much, Consort Qiao. Hongshi will remember this." Hongshi bowed his head and sincerely thanked her.

It's just a facade to deceive others. The more he endures, the stronger his hatred will become, and it will explode sooner or later."
At this point, hatred welled up in Consort Qiao's eyes, and she suddenly tightened her grip on the fan: "Hmph, sooner or later I will make Li taste the heart-wrenching pain of losing a loved one."
