Concubine Yao flatly denied it: "I just know that it was you who spread the rumor."
Chen Jingxi continued, "Whether it's a rumor or not, aren't you the one who knows best, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Yao moved her lips, but couldn't utter a single word.
Chu Jinghuai spoke slowly: "Empress Dowager Yao is so restless and talking nonsense. I think this cloud and mist is very suitable for you. Come, give Concubine Yao the cup of tea that the princess gave her, so that she can calm down."
As Chu Jinghuai finished speaking, a maid came forward lightly, holding an exquisite teacup in her hand.
Chen Jingxi took the teacup and poured the tea into Concubine Yao's mouth without hesitation.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Concubine Yao struggled, and tea overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

Concubine Yao had fainted from the pain at this moment.
Chu Jinghuai pursed his lips slightly, "The prince and the princess have something else to do, so we will return home first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Never mind. I am a little tired too."
