The rumors that Pei Wanyue had people spreading were terrible.
Not only did they say that Xie Qiao would harm her relatives, they also said that she would harm the Crown Prince!
Now, the people in the city thought when Xie Qiao married the Crown Prince in the future, the Crown Prince would definitely be eliminated. When that time came, the Crown Prince's position would be vacant. The Fourth or Fifth Prince would become the next Emperor.
It was useless to suppress such rumors. If that was what the people thought, it would be impossible to stop them with force.
It shook the foundation of the country and messed with people's minds. It was a crime punishable by death!
As Pei Wanyue was Wen Lancheng's concubine and had once been Xie Qiao's half-sister, the Crown Prince wanted to punish her privately.
