About Princess Consort Ling's twin pregnancy, indeed, the news spread throughout the city overnight.
The Second Prince's faction always used every trick in the book.
They spread the news of Princess Consort Ling's twin pregnancy and deliberately linked it to the continuous heavy rains in summer that flooded the fields, leading to a total crop failure.
Even the malaria outbreak that killed numerous people in a distant town, which occurred around the same time as Murong Jiu's pregnancy, was brought up again.
They also claimed that the Xiongnu's dispatch of troops was an ominous sign.
The content they spread did not specify, but the implicit message was that disasters and calamities were all caused by the inauspicious event of Murong Jiu's twin pregnancy, and even suggested that it could lead to the nation's downfall.
