Recently, a rumor suddenly emerged in the capital saying that the former Empress was killed by the current Empress. The rumor was detailed and believable, making the people of the capital skeptical. Later, as the rumor spread more widely, the citizens gradually began to believe it was true.
When many people talk about a lie, it becomes a reality for many. Once enough people believe it, the rumor becomes the truth.
Initially, the populace did not quite believe it, but when Empress Xie and Prince Jing began to investigate and punish those spreading the rumor, the people truly believed it.
In Zhao Yang Palace, Empress Xie was so angry that she smashed several tea cups and vases.
"Why can't it be stopped? Who's spreading it?" Empress Xie was so furious that she briefly blacked out, stumbled, and then collapsed into her chair.
Jiang Chuan quickly moved forward, reaching out to massage Empress Xie's temples.
"Your Majesty, you must take care of your health."
