As the empress, her birthday was a day of national celebration, known as the "Thousand Longevity Festival".
Like the emperor's birthday celebration, it was a statutory holiday of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, only Empress Xie's closest confidants knew the exact time and moment.
The precaution is to prevent someone from using her birth date and time to perform curses or witchcraft.
Although the exact time is unknown, the commander knows that the date matches the year, month, and day, and that this thing was specifically designed to harm the Empress!
