No one knew where these rumors originated, but within just a few days, they had swept across the entire city, spreading wider and wider, and many common people were secretly discussing them.

"Explain, what exactly happened? Who would intentionally plan a war? What benefit would they gain?"
"You're not getting it. Throughout history, the struggle among heirs has always been overt and covert. To successfully ascend to that position requires various methods behind the scenes. I never expected that Princess Shen Tang was the mastermind behind this!"
"Don't speak recklessly! Spreading false rumors about the monarch can get you beheaded!"
"Who said I'm talking nonsense? I have evidence. Shen Tang colluded with the rebel army's commander to plan the mutiny, all to create a situation where she could win the people's hearts and gain the right to succession!"
