Soon, people in the palace learned that the Empress Dowager had sent Granny Su to Chengqian Palace in person, bringing many gifts, and the gates of Chengqian Palace were opened.
Although they did not know why the Imperial Noble Consort had been confined to her quarters, everyone now knew that her confinement had been lifted.
A palace maid stood outside the gate of Yonghe Palace. Listening to the sounds of things being smashed inside, she thought to herself, "Looks like Yonghe Palace is going to have to report another batch of tea sets destroyed!"
His master liked to smash things when he was unhappy, so much so that things in Yonghe Palace were replaced more frequently than in other palaces.
"Qiu Xin, come in!"
Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Xin immediately pushed open the door and went inside.
When Qiu Xin came in, she saw a woman with her back to her. Although she couldn't see the woman's expression, she knew that the woman was very angry at the moment.
"Bring Yinzhi to me!" the woman ordered Qiu Xin.
"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Qiu Xin replied.
After Qiu Xin left, the woman turned around, her face pale, her eyes wide with anger, and her bloodshot eyes were as red as a ghost. This woman was none other than Consort Liang.
At this moment, Consort Liang was not the gentle and refined woman she usually appeared to be; instead, she was filled with rage and her face was contorted with rage.
Consort Liang looked at the Eighth Prince but did not let him rise. "Yin Si, you should know about the Imperial Noble Consort's matter, right?"
"Your subject heard you!"
"Now that you know, you should understand that everything we did before was in vain!" Consort Liang said resentfully.
"Mother, let's discuss this further!"
"There's no chance anymore. After this incident, Yuqing Palace is probably as impregnable as an iron barrel, and it's impossible to place anyone there."
"I put in a lot of effort to plant Xiao Linzi! I never expected him to be discovered so easily!" Consort Liang felt more and more unwilling as she thought about it, and threw away the only teacup in front of her.
The shards of the teacup landed on the Eighth Prince's hand, immediately leaving a bloody mark on the back of his hand.
"If the Crown Prince wasn't poisoned, how was Xiao Linzi discovered?" Consort Liang pondered the events of the past, becoming increasingly puzzled.
"Yin Si, I ask you, when you visited the Crown Prince at Yuqing Palace, did you really not find out if anyone in Yuqing Palace had been poisoned?" Consort Liang said, scrutinizing the Eighth Prince's expression.
The Eighth Prince calmly replied, "Your subject really didn't find anything. The Crown Prince wasn't in Yuqing Palace at the time, so your subject made a special attempt to inquire, but found nothing."
Although Consort Liang doubted the Eighth Prince's words, she felt that he had no reason to lie to her, so she did not ask any further questions.
Seeing that Consort Liang believed him, the Eighth Prince gradually loosened his grip on his hands under his sleeves.
This matter concerns He Xue, and he doesn't want anyone to know, not even his mother.
If Consort Liang finds out, she will definitely use this as an excuse to do something, and he doesn't want to see He Xue get involved.
"You're getting married soon, and Prince An's power behind Tana is crucial to you. You need to win Tana's heart and make her devoted to you so that she can be used by you!"
When the imperial concubine selection takes place next year, I will add a few helpful people to your household!
Now that you are weak and alone, the only way to increase your power is by getting married.
You need to build good relationships with the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince. The Ninth Prince's business acumen should not be underestimated. Once you have a good relationship with him, he will be your benefactor.
"The power behind the Tenth Prince will be your greatest help!" Consort Liang analyzed for the Eighth Prince.
“Your subject understands! Mother, since you know how important your ninth and tenth brothers are to your subject, why did you still involve them this time?” This was what the Eighth Prince was very puzzled about.
