The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

Jianjia heard that she didn't directly refuse, but didn't accept it either. She just held her chin quietly and waited to see how she would respond.

Jiang Xuxu took out a stack of yellow paper from the side and started cutting paper in front of her.

Jianjia: ???

Jiang Xuxu did not explain much. She quickly cut out a stack of small paper figures, found a place with abundant spiritual energy, set up the formation, and then cast a spell.

Although she was still unable to use her demonic power, in this space and time filled with abundant spiritual energy, her spiritual power had recovered to at least 70% of its original value.

She then formed seals with her hands, and the surrounding spiritual energy was drawn in along with the mantra she chanted.

The next second, the little paper figures originally placed in the formation stood up one after another.

Jianjia raised her eyebrows and looked at the little paper people standing like an army, somewhat curious about what she was going to do.

Jiang Xuxu evenly injected spiritual power into the body of the little paper man, and along with the spiritual power, there was also a "command".

"In order to make his daughter the empress, Yuan Xiang colluded with the national teacher to create an anomaly at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, trying to use the name of natural disasters to make the future empress sacrifice her life to the heavens, thereby forcing Your Majesty to vacate the position of empress and change the fate of the country."

Jiang Xuxu's straightforward words stunned Jianjia and Xiao Wuguang, who was still chewing eggshells beside him.

Jiang Xuxu did not explain immediately. After conveying the instructions to the little paper man, he waved his hand.

"go with!"

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the little paper man that was originally standing upright instantly took off into the air, flew out of the palace like a bird, and then quickly flew in all directions.

After doing all this, Jiang Xuxu explained to Jianjia,

"Public opinion relies on the first-mover advantage. People tend to be impressed by the first bite of a rumor, and it takes ten times as much effort to dispel it later."

Jiang Xuxu said this, smiling at Jianjia.

"Thanks to you, I was able to react first and take the initiative."

She spread this rumor first, so that when the news from the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven came back, it would only serve as factual evidence to verify the first bite of the melon.

She did this in order to transform the event of offering sacrifices to heaven into a deliberate manipulation by Yuan Xiangfu and the Imperial Master in the minds of the people, and to divert their attention from the so-called will of heaven to conspiracy.

For many people, gossip about the emperor's affairs is more likely to attract people to gather and discuss than major national affairs.

As for what evidence does she have to prove that this was a conspiracy by Yuan Xiang and Guo Shi?

Who says you can’t take preemptive action without evidence?

In this kind of situation, whoever profits the most is the biggest suspect.

All she had to do was to free herself and Chu Beihe from the dilemma of the so-called Phoenix Goddess' sacrifice to the sky.

Jiang Xuxu's explanation was not complicated, and Jianjia naturally understood her intention of so-called first-mover advantage.

She became interested at the moment and took a look at the little paper figures that had just scattered. Then, she took out a few fox hairs and blew them gently into her mouth.

In an instant, the fox hair transformed into several small and clever foxes, chasing in the direction of the little paper man.

She didn't get involved, she just wanted to watch the show.

So, before the people in Yuan Xiangfu started to move, Jiang Xuxu's little paper figures had already quickly scattered throughout the city.

They stuck to the backs of passers-by at a speed too fast to be seen clearly. The next second, a faint whisper sounded in the ears of the passers-by who were stuck with the paper figures.

"#%&... this and that, this and that...%#!"

I was walking on the street with a friend, and suddenly I heard a passerby whispering in my ear. I was so startled that I covered my ears.

"Did you just hear that?"

The friend was puzzled and just asked the man, "What did you hear?"

The passerby immediately whispered what he had just heard.

The friend looked surprised and was about to tell him not to talk nonsense, but at this moment, the little paper man stuck behind the passerby quickly moved to another passerby.

The passerby soon asked the people around him,

"Did you hear anyone talking just now?"

Because they were not far away, the two people who heard the sound at the same time soon came together and made their statements, and found that what they heard was almost exactly the same.

As for the friends around the two men, they went from not wanting to believe it at first, to being skeptical, to finally believing it firmly.

When there is only one person around you saying something that is beyond your comprehension, normal people would choose not to believe it.

But when a second or third person around you talks about the same thing, you have to believe it even if you don't want to.

On that day, many people in the capital and inside and outside the palace heard the whispers at the same time, and they spread the word from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

When the news of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony finally came back, Yuan Xiang's people also received orders to start spreading public opinion, but they found out... the people already knew about it!

Even after the news of the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven came back, the people still had a sense of clarity that it was just as they expected.

As a result, the people arranged by Yuan Xiang not only failed to successfully create the necessary public opinion, but even when they opened their mouths, some people looked at them with indescribable expressions.

"You, could it be that Yuan Xiangfu arranged to spread the news in advance?"

The main point is that I am very clear-headed, don't try to confuse me.

By the time Prime Minister Yuan and other court officials followed Chu Beihe's team back to the capital, Jiang Xuxu's little paper figurine had already directly controlled the direction of public opinion.

Not only did Yuan Xiang fail to get the result he wanted, but he even had to write a memorial to prove his innocence as soon as he returned home because of the widespread public opinion in the city.

Jiang Xuxu took advantage of the time when Yuan Xiang was preoccupied with himself and dispersed the little paper figures that were secretly running around in the city directly to the towns surrounding the capital.

After all, if she doesn't disperse, the rumors will spread to all places and even to the north.

But the people in the north and around the capital are different.

They are people who are truly suffering. For such people, even a ridiculous rumor can become their hope for survival.

And when this hope of survival is not met, the people of the North will become dissatisfied with the emperor in power.

It only takes one person to offer sacrifice to heaven to resolve the disaster in the north, but Your Majesty refused. It is clear that you do not care about the lives of the people in the north.

Once the people become dissatisfied, what follows will be riots from all sides, or even... rebellion.

The will of heaven predicted by the national teacher was not aimed at Jiang Xuxu from the very beginning.

They were targeting Chu Beihe, or rather, the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.

Chu Beihe did not expect Xuxu to react so quickly, but she was not the kind of person who would sit quietly and wait for others to come to her to kill her, so he was not so surprised by her proactive attack.

Because of Xuxu's action, the capital and other places in the capital have not been in chaos, which gives Chu Beihe time to deal with the disaster in the north.

Everyone was waiting to see how His Majesty would respond.

But what no one expected was that Chu Beihe's so-called response was -

The queen's coronation ceremony was held in advance.

At that time, he will bring the new queen to offer sacrifices to heaven again.
