The two sides each defended their own assertions, making it difficult to discern the truth.
The question of whether the emperor was alive or dead was crucial to their plans and could not afford any miscalculations.
Thus, under such circumstances, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to personally go to Tiandu and, after considerable consideration, finally confirmed the truth.
"If he's already dead, why is his death kept secret and not publicized?" Pei Xuanjing frowned slightly, somewhat perplexed.
Was there additional hidden information they were not revealing?
He turned to Yu Zhenzi and asked, "Did Bai Xiaosheng mention why the imperial court is suppressing the news?"
Yu Zhenzi replied, "Specific details haven't been disclosed yet, but according to Bai Xiaosheng's speculation, it's likely related to the unresolved question of the emperor's successor. There are differing opinions about who should ascend the throne, and it seems no consensus has been reached."
