Li Zhijie did not know what Bai Qingyan wanted to say and nodded in confusion.
Bai Qingyan's lips curled up, her expression indifferent: "Then, why can't this story be... After the Queen of Tianfeng Kingdom lost her husband, she did not leave a progeny with him. She feared losing control of Tianfeng Kingdom to those with ulterior motives. So, to extend her rule over Tianfeng Kingdom, the Queen used the jade cicada to fabricate such a story to make her become a belief among the people of Tianfeng Kingdom and to boost the morale of soldiers who are about to face the Mengshe Kingdom. Hmm?"
Stripped of its mythical elements, viewed purely from a ruler's political standpoint, Bai Qingyan's analysis... can be said to be very politically persuasive.
