Seeing Su Xuening so gentle and charming, Bai Shi couldn't help but glare at Xuan Yuanzhan again: "Ning'er is still the most pleasing. Tell me, what use is a rebellious son like you to me? All you do is annoy me."
If she had known her son would be this infuriating, she would have been so glad she had a daughter!
...Xuanyuan Zhan poured himself a cup of honey water and drank it without saying a word.
Well, Ning'er is good in every way! As long as Ning'er is around, whatever he says is wrong, so what else is there to say?
Bai ignored Xuan Yuanzhan and looked at Su Xuening, saying, "Before I gave birth, Xuan Yuanpeng was worried and brought me to the palace to wait for delivery. But after only two days, that woman Su Huiyan came and made trouble. We were both young and hot-blooded, and neither of us would give in, so we got into a fight. Then I went into premature labor."
Mr. Bai spoke very simply, seemingly unwilling to elaborate on the details of the production process back then.
Su Xuening, however, heard some useful information and frowned, saying, "Does Mother mean that you and Su Huiyan gave birth at the same time because of a fight, so she was also born prematurely?"
Bai raised an eyebrow: "Then it must have been premature. We were both eight months pregnant at the same time, so she definitely had a premature birth!"
Su Xuening finally understood.
No wonder Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Yu were born on the same day, month, and year. It turns out that they both experienced premature labor and were born at the same time.
However, if the date on that note is Xuan Yuan Yu's true birth date and time, then it means that Xuan Yuan Yu was born two hours earlier than Xuan Yuan Zhan, which makes no sense at all.
Su Xuening thought for a moment and said, "Mother, do you still remember when Su Huiyan came to see you that day, and when you two got into a fight?"
Seeing that Su Xuening asked such detailed questions, Madam Bai thought carefully and said, "It seems that we just had lunch. I was just about to take a nap when Su Huiyan came over, so it must have been around noon."
Su Xuening frowned and asked again, "Then does Mother think it's possible that Su Huiyan will give birth at noon?"
Bai was taken aback by Su Xuening's question: "What do you mean? She gave birth at noon. After we finished fighting, we both had miscarriages and went back to our respective palaces to give birth."
Su Xuening realized that her question was not phrased correctly, and quickly added, "Let me rephrase it: Is it possible that Xuan Yuan Yu was born at noon?"
"That's impossible." Bai Shi understood that Su Xuening mainly wanted to know the details of Su Huiyan's delivery, so she carefully recalled: "I remember that although I had some miscarriage, the delivery went quite smoothly. Zhan'er was born in just two hours. I heard that Su Huiyan's delivery didn't go so well. It's impossible for Xuan Yuan Yu to have been born at noon. At noon, Su Huiyan should have been on her way back to her palace by the palace servants. Unless Xuan Yuan Yu gave birth on the way, it's impossible for him to have been born at noon."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuening subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xuan Yuanzhan.
As expected, Xuanyuan Yu could not have been born at noon.
Either the birth date and time are not Xuan Yuan Yu's, or if they are, then his identity is definitely questionable.
By this point, Madam Bai had also noticed something amiss and asked doubtfully, "That's not right. Weren't Xuanyuan Yu and Zhan'er born at the same time? I remember that things weren't going well for Su Huiyan back then, and she had to send someone to summon Xuanyuan Peng away. Then, just after Shenshi (3-5 PM), I gave birth to Zhan'er. Xuanyuan Peng rushed over from Su Huiyan's place, and at that time he said that Su Huiyan's delivery wasn't going well. But not long after, Su Huiyan's palace maid came to announce the good news, saying that she had given birth to a little prince. I specifically checked the hourglass at the time; it wasn't past Shenshi, so Xuanyuan Yu was born at Shenshi!"
Zhan'er was at the beginning of Shen Shi (3-5 PM), and Xuan Yuan Yu was at the end of Shen Shi.
At the time, Zhan'er and Xuanyuan Yu's birth dates and times were very special, which caused quite a stir. Even the Imperial Observatory said that the Xuanyuan royal family had given birth to two true dragon sons, and that these two children would surely become great in the future.
The reason why Xuanyuan Peng valued Xuanyuan Yu so much was largely because his birth date and time were very special. According to the astronomical observations of the Imperial Observatory, Xuanyuan Peng had been grooming Xuanyuan Yu as the crown prince for many years.
As Bai spoke, she frowned and looked at Su Xuening: "Are you hiding something from me? Is there something wrong with Xuan Yuan Yu's birth date and time?"
Su Xuening and Xuan Yuanzhan exchanged a glance.
Originally, the two did not intend to tell anyone before confirming the truth of the matter, but now that the mother had obviously guessed it, they could no longer hide it from her.
Su Xuening took out the note and handed it to Bai Shi to read.
Upon seeing the birth date and time on the slip of paper, Bai asked in confusion, "This is..."
Su Xuening explained, "This note was found in a book in my father's study. When it fell out, there were no words on it. We heated it with fire and the birth date and time appeared."
Bai suddenly realized something, as if she understood something: "You suspect that this might be Xuanyuan Yu's birth date and time?"
Su Xuening nodded: "Yes. This must be something important and secret, otherwise Father wouldn't have concealed this birth date and time in this way. And it seems that the only person in our family who is related to this birth date and time is Xuanyuan Yu, so we suspect that Xuanyuan Yu's current birth date and time is fake, and the one on this paper is his real birth date and time."
As for the disgusting things Long Jiaojiao said, Su Xuening naturally didn't tell Bai Shi.
However, that was still an important piece of information in their deduction.
Bai was shocked by Su Xuening's speculation. Only now did she realize what it meant if Xuan Yuan Yu's birth date and time were really fake!
If it's true, then Su Huiyan and Xuan Yuan Yu will both die!
Her long-standing rivalry with Su Huiyan will finally come to an end!
"When Su Huiyan was pregnant, Mother Consort must have seen her, right? Did Mother Consort think that Su Huiyan was really pregnant or pretending to be pregnant at that time?" Since Madam Bai knew everything, Su Xuening asked freely.
Bai was startled again, and frowned, saying, "You mean, Su Huiyan wasn't pregnant at all back then, and Xuanyuan Yu was neither Xuanyuan Peng's child nor hers?"
Su Xuening raised an eyebrow noncommittally and analyzed to Madam Bai, "I think it's unlikely that Su Huiyan would have an affair with another man in the palace and confuse the royal bloodline. Besides, if that birth chart really is Xuan Yuan Yu's, then he was born more than two hours later than his actual birth time. If Xuan Yuan Yu came from Su Huiyan's womb, then Su Huiyan has no reason to report his birth chart late, and it's impossible for her to hide the fact that she gave birth two hours early from the people in the palace."
