The next day.
The ministers learned last night that the emperor would attend court today, so they came to the palace early.
The brothers Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Jinnian protected Su Xingyi on both sides and entered the Taiji Hall.
When the ministers saw Su Xingyi's face clearly, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Who is this person?"
"And that young master?"
"Who else could it be? Prince Yu's brothers, right? Look carefully, they look a bit alike, especially the younger one who looks like Prince Yu."
"Why do I feel like that handsome young man's nose is cut from the same mold as the emperor's?"

"Prince Yu is telling the truth. Prince Shun is the eldest son of the emperor and Empress Fu'an. I can testify to this." At this time, the old and wise king, Xiao Tianci, entered the hall with the Eastern Seal.
