The Imperial Study.
Since Xuanyuan Yu took control of Xuanyuan Peng, he has basically made the decisions on all matters, big and small, in the court, and even occupied the imperial study.
However, Xuanyuan Yu has not been in the mood to deal with state affairs these past two days. He previously sent a team of imperial guards to the north with an imperial edict to capture Xuanyuan Zhan and execute him on the spot!
But that Imperial Guard team has been in the north for several days now, and there's still no news. They must have failed to complete their mission!
That damned Xuanyuan Zhan! He won't be at peace until he's dead!
Thinking of Xuan Yuanzhan, Xuan Yuanyu then thought of Su Xuening and the matter of the Su family army's military token that she had mentioned.
Xuanyuan Yu took out a military tally from a brocade box in the imperial study and began to play with it.
This military tally should be the one that my mother presented to my father, the Su family army tally. From its appearance, it is impossible to tell that this tally is fake.
Father Emperor probably also thought this military tally was genuine. Although this military tally did not actually make the Su family army submit, Father Emperor still kept it, which means that Father Emperor did not know that this military tally was fake.
He should ask his mother about the matter of the Su family army's military seal.
Xuanyuan Yu then went directly to Huayang Palace.
Since Xuanyuan Yu took control of Xuanyuan Peng, Su Huiyan, who had been confined to her quarters, was also released by Xuanyuan Yu. Now Su Huiyan can freely enter and leave the palace.
However, because Xuan Yuanpeng had previously issued an imperial edict to confine Su Huiyan to her quarters, and the confinement period had not yet ended, even Consort Liang was still under confinement, Xuan Yuanyu also told Su Huiyan not to leave Huayang Palace unless necessary, in order to avoid gossip.
Su Huiyan knew that Xuan Yuan Yu was now in control of the court affairs, and even Xuan Yuan Zhi had to step aside. She was very happy about this, so she was more willing to listen to whatever Xuan Yuan Yu said.
Even though Xuanyuan Yu had lifted the ban on her, she didn't go out and wander around!
"Third Prince!" The palace servants of Huayang Palace bowed to Xuanyuan Yu.
"Yu'er is here!" Su Huiyan was overjoyed to see Xuan Yuan Yu. She immediately had the palace servants serve tea and warmly invited Xuan Yuan Yu to sit down: "You've finished dealing with all the affairs of state today, what brings you to your mother's place?"
After the palace servants served tea, Xuanyuan Yu waved them all away.
After everyone had left, Xuanyuan Yu took out the military tally of the Su family army.
"This is..." Upon seeing the military tally, Su Huiyan was startled and immediately looked at Xuan Yuan Yu nervously: "Where did you get this?"
Su Huiyan stared at the military tally, unsure whether it was her fake tally or the real one for the Su family army.
"This is the military tally you presented to Father Emperor." Xuan Yuan Yu handed the tally directly to Su Hui Yan.
Su Huiyan took the military tally and examined it carefully, then was instantly disappointed: "This was indeed presented to your father by your mother, how did it end up with you?"
Xuanyuan Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "In Father Emperor's study. Father Emperor is currently seriously ill, and the study has been occupied by your son."
Su Huiyan nodded silently and said, "Take it back to your father!"
Su Huiyan's lukewarm attitude made Xuan Yuan Yu understand everything: "So this military tally is really fake!"
Su Huiyan looked at Xuan Yuan Yu with some surprise, not expecting that he already knew about the fake military token.
This matter was of great importance, even concerning her and Yu'er's status, so she had never mentioned it to anyone else.
Everyone thought that she had handed over the real military tally of the Su family army to the emperor, but in fact the tally in her hand was fake.
Seeing that Su Huiyan remained silent, Xuanyuan Yu frowned again and said, "It's come to this point, Mother Consort, won't you tell your son the truth?"
Seeing that there was hardly anyone in the room, and that Xuanyuan Yu was currently overseeing the country and everything was under their control, Su Huiyan finally stopped hiding the truth: "Yes, the military tally that Mother Consort presented to your father is fake!"
Xuanyuan Yu's expression instantly turned serious. He hadn't expected the military tally to be fake: "Then where is the real military tally? Where is the real military tally?"
Speaking of this, Su Huiyan sighed helplessly: "Ever since your eldest uncle died, the Su family army has been leaderless. Your mother has been searching for the real Su family army military tally, but she has searched for a long time and still can't find it. Even your eldest uncle's grave has been dug up by your mother, but there was no military tally there. Later, your second uncle and I guessed that the real Su family army military tally might have been given to your eldest aunt by your eldest uncle."
Xuan Yuan Yu was stunned: "Aunt? The real military seal of the Su family army is in your hands?"
Su Xuening insisted that the military tally was in her hands, so how did it end up in her aunt's hands?
Su Huiyan narrowed her eyes menacingly: "Your mother plotted to imprison your eldest aunt in order to force her to reveal the whereabouts of the military tally, but even after imprisoning her for a year, she still refuses to say anything."
Xuanyuan Yu was shocked again. It turned out that his maternal aunt had been imprisoned by his mother?
Previously, Su Xuening had never believed that her aunt had eloped with the coachman and had been searching for her. She even complained to her father, the Emperor, asking him to help find her. It turned out that her aunt hadn't eloped with the coachman after all, but had been imprisoned by her mother.
All for the military seal of the Su family army!
"Where is my aunt now? Is the military tally still with her?"
Su Huiyan shook her head helplessly: "Your eldest aunt admitted that your eldest uncle did hand over the military tally to her, but she just wouldn't hand it over to us. Later, Su Xuening reported the matter to the Emperor. Your mother was afraid that your eldest aunt's affair would be exposed, so she had your second uncle move her away. As a result, your second uncle was followed a few days later, and your eldest aunt was forced to jump off a cliff."
"Jumped off a cliff?" Xuan Yuan Yu was shocked once again: "How could he have jumped off a cliff?"
Speaking of this, Su Huiyan was also furious. If Su Renyi hadn't been so unreliable, how could such a blunder have occurred? But Su Renyi was dead, and she couldn't be bothered to speak ill of him anymore.
“At that time, someone was following your second uncle, so your second uncle wanted to move with your eldest aunt. However, your eldest aunt was unwilling to be imprisoned any longer and jumped off a cliff.”
Su Huiyan's brief explanation caused Xuan Yuan Yu to frown deeply: "Is my aunt alive or dead now?"
Su Huiyan shook her head again: "Your second uncle saw her jump off the cliff with his own eyes. Afterwards, we sent people to search at the bottom of the cliff, but we couldn't find anything. Now, no one can say for sure whether she is dead or alive."
Regardless of whether Mu Junyu lived or died, she did not reunite with Su Xuening and Su Yun'an. If the mother and son had reunited, given Su Xuening's personality, knowing how much suffering her mother had endured at her hands, wouldn't she have already made a scene before the Emperor?
With that bitch Bai Fuya helping her, the Emperor will definitely help Mu Junyu and Su Xuening investigate her.
Since Su Xuening hasn't made a fuss about this yet, it means she probably hasn't met Mu Junyu yet!
