"But they say that in the Capital, King Rui gave the Empress Dowager a grand funeral, and the body has already been placed in the coffin. How can that be false?" Concubine Le hesitated.
Bai Ruozhu continued, "King Rui wants to ascend the throne with proper justification. He used the burial of the Empress Dowager to show his filial piety; with such a theatrical grand funeral, people of the nation can't say anything bad about him. The coffin lid has long been closed, who can tell if it's true or false?"
Concubine Le finally relaxed, her face not as unpleasant as before, "I knew you wouldn't lie to me; those people are ignorant and surely wouldn't know about such important matters."
Bai Ruozhu quickly nodded, "What the officer said is true, Your Majesty must not believe their reckless words."
