An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1137 Same Old Rumors

Yun Shang turned around and raised her eyebrows, "What happened?"

Qian Zhuo looked around and said in a low voice, "The spies outside the palace reported that

countless rumors suddenly appeared in the city, which were all related to your majesty."

"Rumors?" Yun Shang didn't seem to be surprised. Instead, she smiled with interest. "Tell me, what

rumors are there? Let's see if there is anything beyond my expectation."

Seeing Yun Shang's reaction, Qian Zhuo couldn't help but smile. "The rumors said that when the

Empress was pregnant with the Prince, she was set up and stayed in the ice cellar for a long time,

which caused the Prince's premature birth and mental damage. As a result, her body was damaged This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

and she was infertile."

At the end of the words, the smile on Qian Zhuo's face faded away.

Yun Shang didn't seem to take it seriously. "Same old rumors."

"Yes." Qian Zhuo nodded, "But this time, it's more detailed than before. They even talked about why

your majesty would be locked in the ice cellar and how long you had stayed in the ice cellar, as well as

who diagnosed your majesty. They even know that Prince Xian was also in the ice cellar when your

majesty was locked in it. "

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and looked up at Qian Zhuo thoughtfully. "So, it seems that someone

who knew about it leaked the news?"

Qian Zhuo nodded, "I think so."

Yun Shang kept silent for a moment. Few people knew the cause and effect of this matter, and few

knew such details. Who would spread it out?

Qian Zhuo didn't know what Yun Shang was thinking. She continued, "Besides, there are rumors about

his majesty being poisoned."

"Rumors said that the reason the emperor hasn't gone to the morning court for two consecutive days is

not because he has caught a cold or had a fever, but because he has been poisoned. And if he couldn't

find the antidote within three days, he would definitely die."

"It's said that the emperor hasn't shown up for three days, and the empress announced in the morning

court today that the Prince will be conferred the title of crown prince, and the the Empress will assist to

deal with the state affairs. That means the antidote hasn't been found."

"They said the emperor has probably died. But the Empress deliberately covered up the truth in order

to comfort the public and not cause any disturbance in the court."

Then Qian Zhuo looked up at Yun Shang cautiously and said, "They also said that the throne of the

State of Xia will belong to a two-year-old boy with poor intelligence, and the State of Xia was about to

be controlled by a woman who was not a citizen of the State of Xia, which is really a tragedy for the

whole state..."

Yun Shang chuckled, "That's awesome. It's only less than two hours after the morning court was over.

There are already so many rumors outside?"

Qian Zhuo nodded and said, "I've found out that these rumors came from tea houses, downtowns and

beggars on the street. These rumors have spread everywhere even before the morning court was

over... "

Yun Shang rubbed the patterns on the quilt with her fingers and said, "I only showed the imperial edict

to Lord Liu and Lord Liu only reported it to his former majesty. However, the content of the imperial

edict has been leaked out and it had caused a sensation in the city even before the morning court was

over. It's really interesting. "

"From what happened in the ice cellar to the exposure of the imperial edict, I'm wondering when the

enemy has arranged someone around me..."

Qian Zhuo suddenly raised her head and asked in surprise, "Your majesty is suspecting..."

"I don't suspect anyone who is very close to me. Only a few people know what happened in the ice

cellar and could tell the details so clearly. Zheng Qiming, Liu Yinfeng, the people around them, as well

as the people around his majesty and me... "

Yun Shang paused for a moment, but then frowned. "But later, Chen Miaosi also knew about it, as well

as Princess Tai An. Although she didn't know that my body was damaged at that time, it was she who

set up the trap of the ice cellar. The people close to her should also know and can infer."

"Then let's start to investigate these people?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Investigate."

"And the matter of the imperial edict." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and said, "Go and see if Liu

Wenan has come back. Call him in."

Qian Zhuo nodded. When she was about to leave, she thought of something. "Do your majesty want to

deal with those rumors outside? Qian Yin said that she has been paying more attention to it since the

abnormal things in the city have been found. If your majesty wants to suppress these rumors, she has

a way... "

Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, "If I want to suppress them, I would've ordered it two days ago.

I'm waiting for these rumors to spread. Don't worry. They won't spread for too long. Rumor is just a

stunt for them. They just want to have an excuse to attack me. I'm afraidhe birthday party will be very

lively later. "

Qian Zhuo nodded thoughtfully. She glanced over the bed and smiled again. "That's right. After all, the

most important part of the rumor is fake."

"I'm going to see if Lord Liu has come back."

Yun Shang seemed to be thinking about something on her mind. Hearing Qian Zhuo's words, she only

hummed.

After a while, Liu Wenan's slightly panting voice came from outside, "Your Majesty..."

"Come in."

Liu Wenan walked in quickly and said, "Your majesty, the officials from the Imperial Hanlin Academy

have checked the handwriting on the imperial edict. Most of them think that the handwriting on the

imperial edict is written by his majesty, and only two of them still have doubts. They said that there are

two places on the Imperial edict that are different from his majesty's writing habits."

"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "What the problem?"

"Two words. Lord Fang thought on word on the imperial edict was not like his majesty's handwriting.

And Lord Meng thought another word was not. So they doubted... "

Yun Shang sneered, "Nonsense. Give an order. Lord Fang and Lord Meng are talking nonsense. Slap

them twenty times."

Liu Wenan was stunned. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Then she asked, "Miss Qian Zhuo told me that your majesty has something to tell me?"

"Yes, there is one thing..."
