Chapter 304 Believe it or not
Zhang Deli helped Liu Shuofang out of the door and said, "Grand Tutor Liu, Your Majesty loves and favors talents. I am most afraid of seeing people who are arrogant because of their talents and favors, which hurts Your Majesty's heart.
Your Majesty has been so kind and generous to Liu Dasitu's family, we must not let Your Majesty down again."
"Your Majesty's kindness, I have no way to repay you, but I will sacrifice my life for you, and I will go through fire and water for you, even if it means my death."
Liu Shuofang knelt down in the direction of Qin Zhi in Zhaozheng Hall.
"The world is full of ups and downs, and people's hearts are easily changed. I heard what Grand Tutor Liu said. Since Your Majesty believes in Grand Tutor Liu, Grand Tutor Liu will definitely not let Your Majesty down.
Well, I will send you here. Your Majesty cannot leave me."
"Eunuch Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Hanzhang Palace.
"Your Majesty, someone from Lanlin Palace said that Concubine Shun and the eldest prince are going to hold a third-day bath for the twelfth prince in Lanlin Palace after lunch today. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Shuang Xu, the head aunt of Hanzhang Palace, carefully did the makeup for Concubine Yu Yusheyue, who slept until the end of the Chen hour.
Yu Sheyue looked at her makeup in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"What's so good about it? I don't want to go. You can send the gifts over on my behalf and say that I'm not feeling well and I'm worried that I might pass on my illness to the newborn prince, so I won't go."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Wait, will His Majesty come over?"
"To answer your question, I don't know. I heard that the twelfth prince's third-day baptism ceremony was arranged by the Empress, so Your Majesty should know about it. But I dare not say whether Your Majesty will go."
"It's just a prince born to a maid, why bother mobilizing so many troops? The Queen is still concerned about the princes born to other concubines while she is in confinement. She really deserves to be the Queen Mother who models the country for the whole country!"
"Empress!" Shuang Xu shook his head.
"Okay, I have no intention of looking down on the Twelfth Prince, nor do I mean to ridicule the Queen.
I just find it strange. I am the one who sleeps with you the most in the palace. Why is it that Shun Guiren, who was born as a palace maid and is not favored by Your Majesty, and the woman who sleeps with you the least, has given birth to a prince, but I have never been pregnant."
"My lady, when the time comes, it will happen."
"Fate, fate. The prince's age has reached twelfth. How can I not be anxious? It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist."
"Your Highness, didn't His Majesty give the Third Prince to you to raise? Even though he's not your biological son, it's always good to have a prince by your side."
"With my background, do I need an adopted son? I have royal blood flowing through my body. What I need is a noble prince with the blood of your Majesty and me."
"If this gets out, you know, no matter who it is, everyone will be punished, including me, understand?"
When Shuang Xu heard what Yupin said, he sternly glanced at the palace servants in the room, and tried his best to persuade Yupin:
"My queen, some things are best kept in your heart. If the Third Prince accidentally hears them, all your care and concern for him these days will be in vain."
"Speaking of which, Lady Shun fell twice while she was pregnant. Was she really unlucky, or did someone who didn't know what was going on do something to her? What kind of threat could she pose?
She only knows how to flatter the queen all day long. How can she offend anyone? She is just a lowly concubine filling the palace. If she hadn’t been lucky enough to get pregnant with the emperor’s heir, I wouldn’t even bother to look at her.”
"I dare not speculate."
Yu Sheyue picked up the jade comb given to her by the third prince Qin Mingjin and fiddled with it for a while. She tilted her head and jokingly said, "Could it be her adopted son who did it?"
"Miss?"
"I know, I know. I was just talking about it in my room. I won't tell anyone else about it."
Yu Sheyue just said it casually without thinking about it carefully, and she didn't take it seriously. This speculation came from her deep-seated distrust of her adopted son.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui sent someone to ask if you would like to go to the orchid pond together and have a chat. After lunch, we can go to the Lanlin Palace to watch the twelfth prince's third day bath."
Yu Sheyue hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Her grandmother asked her to get along well with Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe, and she always listened to her grandmother.
