Xie Jinxiu smiled at Shangguan Feng'er.
She really knows how to coax people.
But this grand promise might be a bit too much.
Duke Chong was being watched by Marquis Dongxiang, who was as fierce and domineering as a bandit, determined not to rest until he took a piece of Duke Chong.
The Emperor was also protecting Marquis Dongxiang, or more precisely, using him.
When Marquis Dongxiang falls, only then could the Second Prince have a chance to sit on the Crown Prince's throne.
If Marquis Dongxiang continues to grow stronger, even Duke Chong might find it hard to protect himself, not to mention the grand promises made by Duke Chong's Mansion.
But fortunately, the Emperor trusts Grandfather, so even if Duke Chong's Mansion falls, it won't implicate the Duke Zhen Country Mansion.
Seeing Xie Jinyu's mood slightly improved, a maid brought in some swallow's nest porridge.
Xie Jinyu did not eat.
