Consort Liang returned to Yonghe Palace, feeling extremely relieved. "The Red Jade Fragrant Beads are indeed a fine product. No wonder the Crown Princess likes them so much!"

"Qiu Xin, deal with that little palace maid!"

Although Qiu Xin was taken aback, she still replied, "Yes, this servant will arrange it right away!"

Looking at Qiu Xin's expression, Consort Liang said, "Qiu Xin, don't blame me for being ruthless. If we don't deal with that little palace maid, and things get exposed, we'll be the ones who suffer!"

I have the Eighth Prince. No matter how much the Emperor hates me, he won't take my life for the sake of the Eighth Prince.

But you're different. The Emperor will definitely pin everything on you. Even if I wanted to protect you, I probably couldn't! I'm doing this for your own good!

"This servant understands!" Qiu Xin felt that what Consort Liang said made sense. Servants often took the blame for their masters. In the palace, their lives were not worth mentioning. Rather than losing their own lives, they would rather let others lose theirs!

Qiu Xin put away her earlier pity and went to carry out the tasks Liang Pin had instructed her to do.

In Yuqing Palace, He Xue still suspected Consort Liang. She usually didn't have much contact with Consort Liang, who always seemed indifferent to worldly affairs. Why would Consort Liang want to harm her? Could it be for the sake of the Eighth Prince?

"Qingdai, take that string of red jade beads to the Eighth Prince's wife!" He Xue said.

"yes!"

He Xue thought that if Consort Liang knew about the Red Jade Fragrant Beads, she would definitely stop Tana from wearing them. Now, let's see what Consort Liang will do.

On this day, Lady Tongjia entered the palace and arrived at Yuqing Palace.

"Mother!" When He Xue saw Tong Jia arrive, she immediately ran towards her.

"Be careful!" Lady Tongjia hurriedly stepped forward. "You're going to be a mother soon, you can't be so reckless!"

"Mother, I'm just happy to see you," He Xue said affectionately, linking arms with Tong Jia Shi.

"Come, let your mother take a look!" Madam Tongjia carefully examined Hexue and found that Hexue's complexion was rosy and had not changed much compared to before. She nodded in satisfaction.

"Mother, I'm fine! I don't usually vomit, I'm even starting to wonder if I'm pregnant!" He Xue said with a smile.

"That's good! It means this child cares about you!" Tongjia said happily.

"You're not the same as usual now, so you must take good care of yourself. Be careful with everything you eat and use!" Tongjia Shi urged He Xue with concern.

Since He Xue was in the palace, she couldn't go to the palace every day, so she could only tell He Xue everything she thought of in detail.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Besides, Aunt is here too!" He Xue comforted Tong Jia Shi.

Lady Tongjia nodded. "How does the Crown Prince treat you?"

"My brother, the Crown Prince, has always been very good to me!" He Xue said, looking at Tong Jia Shi with confusion.

"Since you are not feeling well right now, has the Crown Prince looked for someone else?" Lady Tongjia asked.

She never expected the Crown Prince to spend his entire life with He Xue, but she didn't want He Xue to bear children for the Crown Prince while he was enjoying himself with other women.

He Xue blushed upon hearing Tong Jia's words, "Mother, what are you saying! My brother, the Crown Prince, is not that kind of person!"

Lady Tongjia sighed, "Men are all fickle, especially royal men. How many of them are truly devoted? You are still too naive!"

He Xue grasped Tong Jia's hand, "Mother, I believe in my Crown Prince!"

Lady Tongjia patted He Xue's hand, "I hope the Crown Prince will live up to your trust!"

"Mother, now my brother the Crown Prince doesn't sleep in a separate room from me anymore! He stays with me every day!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Tongjia exclaimed in surprise, "Hexue, you can't let the Crown Prince run wild, or you'll be the one who gets hurt in the end!"

Lady Tongjia worried that the Crown Prince, being young and impulsive, might act rashly, and that it would be He Xue who would get hurt in the end.

"Mother, I know!" He Xue replied, blushing.

Knowing that He Xue was a sensible person, Tong Jia gave He Xue some other reminders.
