In such a high-pressure emotional environment, rumors flew everywhere in the palace. Even though the masters above had given orders not to spread rumors, they still couldn't resist the fact that the love stories of these masters were so captivating that it was impossible to keep quiet, and quite a few snippets of conversation still leaked out.
Moreover, Jiang Chengli was once a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and had many spies in the palace, so the information he received was even more abundant.
"Today, Princess Zhaoyang stormed into Consort Ming's bedchamber, and the two got into an argument, which even alerted the Emperor. Consort Ming started crying, which drew the Emperor's sympathy. He even said a few words to the Princess, which enraged Princess Zhaoyang. She directly cursed Xing Xiaoya as a vixen and said many other unpleasant things to you, so as not to offend your ears."
Xu Wanying listened with great interest, and even couldn't help but clap her hands.
"What a dog-eat-dog show!"
She finally couldn't hold back and blurted out what was on her mind.
[Tsk tsk, host, look at you—] The system swallowed its words halfway through, clearly afraid that Xu Wanying would hold a grudge and try to manipulate it again. So even if it had any dissatisfaction with its host, it held back.
Xu Wanying scoffed, saying nonchalantly, "I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll allow you to spout whatever you want. Go ahead."

Consort Yue has ambition, methods, and the Emperor's favor. I think it's still uncertain who will win!" Xu Wanying said dismissively.
The system, seemingly pushed to its limit, immediately retorted: "Host, you're incredibly naive! Yes, the Jiang family's misfortunes do appear to be closely related to Xing Xiaoya, but in reality, many of the bad deeds were committed by Consort Yue. Who do you think framed Jiang the Elder for treason? The procedures for sending his secret memorial to the Emperor were extremely rigorous; it's not something an ordinary person could easily bypass. Only a close confidante could slip in fabricated evidence of treason when he wasn't looking!"
[Are you still here watching the show? At most, Xiaoya is seducing men in the Jiang family; the one who truly wants the Jiang family wiped out is someone else. If Xiaoya loses, the first people Consort Yue will eliminate will definitely be members of the Jiang family!]
