Indeed, everyone knew it to be true. For nearly a month, the coughing that had echoed through the Imperial Palace day and night had barely ceased. The palace maids, in particular, were keenly aware of it; after all, they had never seen anyone cough for such an extended period. Most importantly, one could always pinpoint Bai Wutong’s location simply by the sound of her coughs. She had truly remained within Fengyi Palace the entire time, never once stepping out.
