Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1137

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 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..."
