Zi Yue hesitated and didn't dare to continue speaking.
But Xia Ruqing's face changed drastically.
"Is there really such a rumor in the palace?"
"Do you know where it's coming from?"
Zi Yue and Zi Su both shook their heads.
After a moment, Zi Yue continued.
"Master, it doesn't look like someone deliberately spread it."
"It seems more like..."
Xia Ruqing was a bit puzzled.
"Like what?"
Zi Yue lowered her head, hesitated, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zi Su, nearby, was so anxious she couldn't stand it, she hurriedly stepped forward.
"Ah, Sister Zi Yue, why are you..."
She turned mid-sentence.
"Master, you don't need to deliberately spread this, it's obvious to anyone!"
"I also think you have the most hope of becoming the new Empress for the Emperor!"
As the words fell, Xia Ruqing was directly stunned.
The room fell into silence.
It took a while for her to react.
She looked around and then at them, testingly asked.
"Zi Yue, do you think so too?"
