After Su Xuening's explanation, everyone finally understood.
It turns out that General Su had learned that the Third Prince was not the Emperor's biological son, but rather someone Consort Su had brought back from outside the palace. No wonder Consort Su was so desperate that she plotted to kill General Su; after all, if this matter had reached the Emperor, Consort Su would have been dead long ago.
To protect her secret and her life, Consort Su had no choice but to cut off both of her arms. She must have had no other option but to do so!
But he was her own older brother after all, and he treated her quite well. He brought her from her hometown and even sent her to the palace to become a concubine. How could she be so heartless!
Xuanyuan Peng finally understood everything. He seemed to recall Su Renzhong's hesitant expression several times before he went to war.
Su Renzhong must have wanted to tell him the truth several times, but after all, she was his own sister, and he couldn't bring himself to do it. When the Northern Rong suddenly invaded, Su Renzhong simply led his army to fight against the Northern Rong, but he didn't expect to give Su Huiyan the opportunity to plot against him!
He really couldn't understand how someone as upright and loyal as Su Renzhong could have such a heartless brother and sister pair as Su Renyi and Su Huiyan!
Su Huiyan looked at Su Xuening in disbelief, as if she couldn't understand how she knew everything!
Yu'er and her eldest brother are the two most important secrets in her heart. Why does she know everything about them?
Su Xuening saw her expression and said coldly, "Want to know why I know all your secrets?"
Su Huiyan stared at Su Xuening with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.
Su Xuening sneered: "That's because Father left evidence in the study."
As she spoke, Su Xuening took out a bookmark and presented it with both hands.
Su Huiyan wanted to see what the evidence was, and subconsciously tried to snatch the bookmark, but she was captured by the Imperial Guards and couldn't move at all.
Xuanyuan Peng looked at Zong Jiu, who immediately descended the jade steps to take the bookmark.
When Xuanyuan Peng saw the bookmark Zong Jiu handed him, he was instantly stunned: "What's this?"
"This is Xuanyuan Yu's true birth date and time."
The bookmark that Su Xuening handed over was the one with her birth date and time written in white vinegar that her father had found in his study with Xuan Yuanzhan.
Xuanyuan Peng suddenly turned to Xuanyuan Yu, but the elderly couple kneeling beside him asked, "What is Xuanyuan Yu's real birth date and time?"
The elderly couple were still lying on the ground, looking completely bewildered by Xuan Yuanpeng's question.
Because they had no idea who Xuanyuan Peng was asking.
Su Xuening, being a sensible person, helped Xuan Yuanpeng explain, "The Emperor is asking about the birth date and time of the child whose body was taken from you?"
The old couple understood what she meant, and the old woman immediately knelt down and said, "It was the year of Gengshen, the month of Shen, the day of Shen, and the hour of Wu."
Xuanyuan Peng immediately looked at the bookmark in his hand: "Gengshen year, Shen month, Shen day, noon hour, it really is exactly the same, and this is indeed your father's handwriting!"
Upon hearing Xuanyuan Peng's confirmation, the ministers once again looked puzzled.
Back then, the Third Prince and the Holy King were both born on the same special day and time in the year of Gengshen (1930), which became a hot topic in the capital. People said that the Third Prince and the Holy King were both chosen ones, but the Holy King's status was inferior, and the Third Prince's status gave him a better chance of becoming the true Son of Heaven.
Who would have thought that this Third Prince was not a prince at all, but a peasant boy who had been switched out? He was not born of Si Shen at all, but was born two hours earlier. Isn't that a huge difference?
On the contrary, the Holy King was born to the Emperor and was a true prince!
It's no wonder that the Third Prince couldn't defeat the Holy King in the end, after all, he was the true chosen one!
Xuan Yuan Yu, who had been in a daze, suddenly remembered Long Jiao Jiao's disdainful words when he heard the old woman mention his birth date and time.
At that time, she took advantage of his dazed state and climbed into his bed. After it was over, she was extremely dissatisfied and even cursed him, saying that he had lied to her and that he was not a person with a yang constitution at all.
At first, he didn't understand what the "ultimate Yang constitution" was. It wasn't until later that he realized that men born in the year, month, day, and hour of Shen (庚申年申月申日申时) were the ones with the ultimate Yang constitution, just like him and Xuanyuan Zhan.
He finally understood why Long Jiaojiao liked to cling to Xuan Yuanzhan so much. It wasn't for any other reason than that he possessed the extremely yang constitution of the Four Shen. And the reason she was afraid of his bed was also because he possessed the extremely yang constitution of the Four Shen.
But later she said he wasn't a yang constitution at all. At that time, he didn't understand. He clearly had the yang constitution she described, so why did she insist that he wasn't?
It turns out that he was not born in the year, month, day, or hour of Shen (申), but rather at noon (午时).
It was only a difference of two hours, but it made all the difference, and their fates were turned upside down!
He was clearly the noble prince, while Xuanyuan Zhan was the bastard. Yet now, he was the bastard, and Xuanyuan Zhan was his father's biological son. How could he possibly accept such a cruel twist of fate?
Su Xuening glared at Su Huiyan with resentment: "It is because of the birth date and time left by my father that I began to doubt Xuan Yuan Yu's background and my father's death. Su Huiyan, for her own selfish desires, conspired with Su Renyi to harm my father and imprison my mother. I beg Your Majesty to severely punish Su Huiyan, the murderer, for my father and mother!"
Su Huiyan's face also turned pale. She never expected that her older brother had actually kept a backup plan.
Brother, I am your own sister, why did you hurt me like this? Why won't you let me go even in death?
Xuan Yuanpeng looked at Su Huiyan with disgust: "You really made one mistake after another. Renzhong was so good to you, but you still wanted to harm his whole family like this. You really deserve to die!"
Just as Xuanyuan Peng was about to pronounce judgment on Su Huiyan, a palace attendant suddenly ran in: "Your Majesty, an envoy from Xiliang requests an audience."
Xuanyuan Peng glanced at Su Xuening subconsciously before raising his chin and saying, "Summon!"
The palace attendant ran out, and soon a voice announced from outside: "The envoy from Western Liang has come to pay his respects!"
The ministers' attention was immediately drawn, and they all looked towards the door.
The first person to enter the hall was a young man, who was none other than Su Yun'an, the son of General Su and the younger brother of the Holy Princess.
Two women followed behind Su Yun'an. Judging from the fact that Su Yun'an and the two women were dressed in clothing that was clearly different from that of Dong Chu, the officials finally believed the emperor's words.
The Holy Princess Consort is indeed the Crown Princess of Western Liang, and the former wife of General Su is the Empress of Western Liang!
"Sister?" Su Yun'an's expression changed immediately when he entered the hall and saw Su Xuening kneeling on the ground.
When Lan Jingxiao and Shao Jingling saw Su Xuening kneeling, their expressions instantly turned ugly.
"Ahem!" Seeing this, Xuan Yuanpeng dared not let Su Xuening kneel any longer. He coughed and said, "Get up first."
