Consort Liang was also full of doubts after hearing Consort Yi's words. Rouze's behavior made people suspicious. Children are the foundation for a woman's survival in the inner courtyard, let alone Rouze, a concubine without a name or status.

If Rouze is carrying a boy, her rank will definitely be promoted.

Could it be that Rouze did this on purpose to frame Tana? If so, Consort Liang has to admire Rouze; she is indeed ruthless.

"Imperial Noble Consort, I'll return to Yonghe Palace now. I'm still worried about Ulanara's condition!" Consort Liang curtsied to the Imperial Noble Consort.

"Consort Liang, I'm afraid you can't leave now, the matter of the Red Jade Fragrant Beads hasn't been resolved yet!" Consort Yi said.

“Your Highness, the Red Jade Fragrant Beads have nothing to do with me. They were a gift from the Ninth Princess, so you should contact her.”

"I only asked a question out of curiosity, how did it become my problem?" Consort Liang felt very wronged.

"Consort Liang, there's no need to rush. It will only take you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea! The Ninth Princess will be here soon!" He Xue said a few more words to Qing Dai, and then Qing Dai withdrew.

"Consort Liang, please wait patiently! This matter concerns the imperial heir, so it's best to find out the truth. Otherwise, if the Emperor asks, I won't be able to explain myself!" the Imperial Noble Consort said.

"Yes, Your Highness understands!" Seeing that the Imperial Noble Consort had spoken, Consort Liang could only continue to wait.

At Yonghe Palace, Qiu Xin was resting in her room when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Qiu Xin asked as she walked towards the door.

"Sister Qiuxin, it's me! Consort Liang sent me to find you!"

When Qiu Xin opened the door, she saw an unfamiliar palace maid and asked in confusion, "What does Consort Liang want with me? I've never seen you before. Which palace are you from?"

The palace maid replied, "Sister, I am a branch of the Juechan clan. I entered the palace during this selection process and have been cleaning in the Imperial Garden."

"It's because Consort Liang is in trouble that she sent me to find you!"

Upon hearing that the palace maid was from the Juechan clan, Qiu Xin relaxed her guard. "What has happened to Your Highness?"

"About the Red Jade Fragrant Beads!" Juechan looked around carefully before speaking in a low voice.

Upon hearing about the Red Jade Fragrant Pearl, Qiu Xin was completely convinced that this person was sent by Consort Liang, and that only she and Consort Liang knew about the Red Jade Fragrant Pearl.

"What exactly happened?" Qiu Xin asked worriedly.

“Sister, let’s go inside and talk!” Juechan said.

“Okay!” Qiu Xin had no doubts and opened the door to let Jue Chan Shi in.

After Juechan went inside, as Qiuxin turned to close the door, Juechan suddenly grabbed Qiuxin's neck tightly from behind with a handkerchief.

Qiu Xin was completely unprepared for Jue Chan's actions and was immediately choked red-faced and slapped Jue Chan's hand.

Qiu Xin asked incredulously, with difficulty, "Why...?"

"There's no reason why. Blame it on you knowing too much. Her Majesty said that only the dead can keep secrets!" Juechan's men increased their strength.

Just as Qiu Xin felt like she couldn't breathe, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

A person came in, and the first thing this person did was knock Juechan unconscious.

"Cough cough cough!" Qiu Xin's suffocation disappeared, but she also fell to the ground. A large amount of air suddenly rushed into her throat, causing her to cough violently.

Once Qiu Xin had recovered, she noticed the person who had come in. She looked at the person in surprise and asked, "It's you?"
