"Why would they make such a guess?" Back then, she pretended to be deeply affectionate sisters with Xie Wan; everyone thought they were good sisters and it was impossible for anyone to suspect that Xie Wan was killed by her.
"They have no evidence, so they fabricated this rumor to bring Mother down." Although not many ministers believed the rumor, if this continued, more people would start to believe it. Even if they didn't believe it, they would suspect. "Since the rumor can't be stopped, let's create a new one to replace it."
Empress Xie asked, looking perplexed, "A new rumor? What kind of rumor?"
"Compared to you, Noble Princess Consort Rong hated Xie Wan even more." Prince Jing smiled sinisterly, "We will slightly alter the rumor, saying it was Noble Princess Consort Rong who killed Xie Wan and then framed you."
