"Of course we will protect her, she will be the daughter that we can't have." the Emperor said sadly remembering the day when the they lost the daughter and almost lost the Empress because of poisoning.
"It will be my pleasure to care her as my daughter, after what sister Fei (Princess Qing/ Rose' Mother) done for use and if not because of Left Minister Hei (Concubine Hei's Father) I already take her as my daughter." the Empress said angrily.
