"Rumors are just rumors. Without any evidence, His Majesty won't believe them." Empress Xie was very angry and scared about the rumors, but she wasn't guilty, because she indeed wasn't the one who did it.
"Mother, even with me, you still won't tell the truth?"
Empress Xie looked at her son and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she finally said, "It wasn't me who killed Xie Wan; it was your grandmother who did it."
"Grandmother?" Prince Jing was first shocked, then quickly returned to normal. With Grandmother's character and methods, eliminating Xie Wan was quite expected.
"Your grandmother was extremely discreet when she did it back then, leaving no evidence or trace," Empress Xie said. "Everyone involved in this matter was also eliminated by your grandmother. In this world, apart from me, no one knows about this, including your grandfather and your uncle."
Prince Jing looked surprised, "Grandmother didn't tell Grandfather?"
