Zi Yi glanced at Su Man as he spoke, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Man said calmly, "It's okay, I just take it as gossip."
"There are rumors that Your Majesty doesn't hold a large number of sacrifices and doesn't value filial piety. There are many discussions about Your Majesty."
“…”
Su Man didn't say anything, thinking about his intention in saying this.
It's not impossible to hold a grand ceremony, but the rift between the female prime minister and the marshal has been growing deeper and deeper recently. If we want to hold a grand ceremony, they will have to get together.
Watching the two of them quarreling in the court every day was already giving Su Man a headache, and who knows what would happen if it happened at a banquet or party, so Su Man decided to keep it simple.
But now that Zi Yi brought up this matter out of the blue, it was very likely that the traitor had some plan.
So Su Man didn't say yes or no, and said lightly, "I understand, you can go down."
Zi Yi wanted to say something else, but Nong Shuang gave him a look. He realized that if he continued, Su Man would probably become suspicious, so he obediently took his leave.
After Zi Yi left, Su Man casually asked, "Nong Shuang, have you heard the rumors Shun Cejun just told you?"
Nong Shuang lowered her head. "Your Majesty, I have heard some of this as well. It's just some idle gossip. Do you need me to find the source?"
Su Man tapped her fingertips twice on the table. "No need for that. Rumors are invisible. No matter how much we investigate, we won't find any results. Instead, it will cause panic among the people in the six palaces. Well, let's do as the side master says and properly prepare for the late emperor's death anniversary."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Nong Shuang could not hide her joy. "Do you need me to send the Minister of Rites to reply?"
"No need, I have my own arrangements."
"Yes, I understand."
Su Man's eyes fell on the plates of snacks on the table. "I remember Feng Jun likes sweet cakes the most. You can send some to him."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
After Nong Shuang left, Su Man called Wu Xia and whispered a few words to her.
A plan slowly took shape.
Judging from the actions of Nong Shuang and Zi Yi just now, they must have received orders from the traitor.
Now that the mission has been accomplished, there must be a reply.
At the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow night, Nong Shuang will definitely contact the traitor.
