Emperor Hui's test of Xie Anfeng was not out of kindness to vindicate Xie Zhaozhao, but because he had been searching for her for the past nineteen years.

We need to find out who this "lucky star" really is.

Master Yuan Zhen said she was a great lucky star, and the old abbot of Huguo Temple also said she was, but Emperor Hui did not think so.

He felt that was the real jinx.

Da Gan belongs to the Zhou family. The emergence of "two emperors" signifies a power struggle and is a harbinger of disaster for Da Gan's empire.

Even if she were a princess, that wouldn't do. A hen crowing at dawn is rebellious and would definitely bring disaster.

He wasn't looking for that "lucky star" to protect; rather, he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible!

But Yuan Zhen died after leaving behind a Buddhist verse, and the old abbot also secluded himself from the world and has not seen anyone for more than 20 years.

He sent secret agents and imperial guards to thoroughly investigate all women born on the 16th day of the fifth month (Chen month) of the 263rd year of the Great Gan Dynasty (Chen year).

Starting in May of that year, he dispatched all the secret agents of the Imperial City Guard to keep watch day and night.

"Any girl born on the sixteenth day of the fifth month shall be killed!"

"Your Majesty, Madam Zhang of the Zhang family, who is in the capital in May, is expecting a girl, according to the imperial physician's diagnosis..."

Emperor Hui: "The Xie and Zhang families must be kept under close surveillance."

According to Madam Xie's medical records, she will not give birth until June.

"No, keep an eye on them." In Emperor Hui's mind, every woman in the Xie family was stunningly beautiful, and every head of the Xie family was a cunning old fox.

What if those old foxes in the Xie family are up to something?

Such a large family has unfathomable resources and secrets. What if they also have spies?

What if the Xie family already knew the contents of the prophecy? For example, if the abbot knew the general content in advance, the Xie family might also know it.

After all, the note said "Two dragons have appeared in the world." What if the Xie family had ulterior motives and deliberately concealed the child's birth date?

Keep an eye on it!!

He remembered clearly that no news of a newborn was reported at the Xie residence that day, and no one came to congratulate them. Everything was the same as usual, and everyone went about their business as usual.

Zhang Yanyan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, was born on May 6th. On the day of her birth, the Zhang family held a grand banquet and distributed red eggs widely.

She was the eldest daughter of the Xie and Zhang families and was born into wealth and privilege.

The Xie family's upbringing of their eldest daughter was extremely rigorous, second only to that of their eldest son.

If they have a legitimate eldest daughter, they will announce it to the world immediately and hold a grand banquet.

In other words, it's impossible to keep it a secret.

But now, Emperor Hui understood that Xie Anfeng, that old fox, had definitely been hiding something.

...

Xie An invited them to eat melons, and Emperor Hui contributed half of the melons, refusing to reveal the true content of the prophecy even in death. Everyone ate the melons in a half-baked state.

Yuanyuan immediately reported their conversation to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and continued to hold her son and amuse him.

Listening to Yuanyuan's words, Zhou Shaoyu asked Xie Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, is it really not okay to celebrate your birthday?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I can live like this from now on! My true birthday is the 16th day of the fifth month of the 263rd year of the Great Gan era, at the hour of Si (9-11 AM)!"

I am the great lucky star!

Zhou Shaoyu smiled so hard that two dimples appeared on his cheeks.

The year Xie Zhaozhao was born, he had just finished the academy examination and was traveling in the mountains when he witnessed the sky filled with colorful clouds and a black phoenix descending from the heavens, crying out.

The master said that a virtuous person had been born, and told him to find this person and befriend him.

However, he never expected that the other party was a woman, who would become his wife.

The phoenix descended from the heavens, signifying the birth of an emperor.

Shouldn't emperors be men?

Xie Zhaozhao kissed Xiao Heng'er, who rested his chin on Xie Zhaozhao's shoulder and said, "Zhaozhao, I can say that I witnessed your birth."

"Little Heng'er, what will happen when your father gets too old?"

"......"

This is truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

"Zhaozhao, this prophecy can now be proclaimed to the world."

"No need. I am in charge of my own destiny. I don't need anyone else's verification, nor do I need any gimmicks or sensationalism."

"That's true." I, Zhao Zhao, don't need to rely on anyone's influence!

“However,” Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, “if His Majesty Emperor Hui uses this as an excuse, he can announce to the world that all the female infants born on May 16th of that year were killed by the court.”

"..."

Zhou Shaoyu could almost picture his own father being cursed by the whole world.

A prophecy can have different outcomes depending on who reads it.

Yuan Zhen believed that she was an auspicious star, bringing good fortune to all people, and therefore a lucky star!

Her father believed she was a plunderer and that death was the only outcome for her.

Yuan Zhen and the old abbot foresaw the outcome: one would feign death, and the other would live in seclusion.

The baby girl born that day has been kept secret by Xie Zhaozhao to this day; the rest all died tragically.

......

The results of the peace talks between Emperor An and Emperor Hui were announced to the world, and the Daqian Kingdom and the Yulong Kingdom officially merged, with the new kingdom named Yulong.

The news sent shockwaves throughout the world.

Xie Zhaozhao took Xiao Heng'er back to Daming Prefecture, while Emperor Chen, who was in charge of the people's livelihood, accompanied Emperor Hui back to the capital of Dagan to complete the handover between the old and new emperors.

Appoint Ling Xun to oversee the process and expedite the handover.

Gu Zhongjin and Ren Jialin each led 100,000 troops, while Xie Jue and Li Yunmu led enough earthenware grenades to destroy the capital, all to protect Zhou Shaoyu.

She then carried her son and set off to return to the capital, heading back to Daming Prefecture.

Xiao Heng'er protested, her eyes welling with tears, looking at Zhou Shaoyu and yelling, "Ahhh!"

Why doesn't Father want Xiao Heng'er anymore?

"Little Heng'er, call me 'Daddy,' and Daddy will come to find you soon." Zhou Shaoyu was not kind at all. Seeing Little Heng'er's teary eyes, he still made demands with a straight face.
