"The late emperor's edict." Gui Wei replied.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand, what did this have to do with the late emperor's edict?

Gui Wei continued: "Four years ago, the late emperor's edict appeared in Suibei Pass. When my ancestor... Lord Wu An learned about it, he immediately led people to take back the edict, but he could not take it back."

When he failed to take it back, King Nanyang blamed Lord Wu An for his incompetence and got angry and killed Lord Wu An and his children and grandchildren?

No, no, no, this doesn't make sense, there must be a story.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Gui Bi.

Gui Wei hesitated for a moment and said: "But Mr. Wu An saw the contents of the edict. It was because he was so shocked that he panicked and let the other party snatch the edict away."

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "What was written in the edict that shocked my grandfather so much?"

Gui Wei said calmly: "Depose King Nanyang, take back his royal status, demote him to a commoner, and kill him if he plots rebellion..."

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo both fell silent.

This edict... is really surprising.

Su Xiaoxiao digested it for a long time before speaking again: "Didn't the late emperor love this eldest son the most? Why did he depose him?"

Gui Wei shook his head: "I don't quite understand this either."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Is it possible that the edict was forged by people from the White Lotus Sect?"

This time, Su Mo did not brag about his sister. He said: "People from the White Lotus Sect are not capable of forging imperial edicts. However, the late emperor deposed the King of Nanyang, which was indeed very strange. He even... wanted to kill him."

This is very puzzling.

He continued: "Among the late emperor's sons, the one who holds the most esteem and owes the most is King Nanyang."

"Owed?" Su Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't finish the melon tonight.

Su Mo nodded: "Yes, when the late emperor was still a prince, he was ordered to quell the civil strife. Soon after, he was retaliated by the other party. The other party kidnapped the ten-year-old King of Nanyang, tortured him in every possible way, beat him, and imprisoned him.

, abused him inhumanely, and vented all his anger on the late emperor on an innocent child. The late emperor was not threatened, and regardless of his son's life and death, he resolutely entered the rebels' lair. The rebels shot Nanyang dead in front of the late emperor.

The king... was not killed, but the imperial physician rescued him."

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated and said: "The late Emperor..."

Su Mo said: "It's hard to say whether that matter is right or wrong. If you compromise, hundreds of soldiers will die. If you don't compromise, you will lose your eldest son."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What is the attitude of King Nanyang?"

Su Mo said: "He did not blame the late emperor and treated him with the same respect as before. On the contrary, the late emperor felt extremely guilty for his eldest son and treated him differently from the other sons from then on."

"Is that so?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Guixi.

"Yes." Gui Wei replied.

"I see."

Su Xiaoxiao understood.

Many seemingly illogical things were explained at this time.

The imperial edict did not establish King Nanyang, but depose him. King Nanyang was not allowed to rebel, otherwise he would be punished.

The King of Nanyang was determined to rebel. He was worried that the Wei family would no longer follow him, and he was even more afraid that Lord Wu An, Wei Xu and others would follow the order and kill him, so he acted first and colluded with Helianye to kill everyone.

Zhang Feng must have seen the content of the edict and felt that he would also be silenced by the King of Nanyang, so he approached Zhao Kangning to make a deal and asked Zhao Kangning to help him escape.

The only thing I can't figure out now is why the late emperor deposed the son he loved most and owed the most to?

…

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo came out, Wei Liulang stood quietly at the corner of the corridor.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said to Su Mo: "Cousin, please go back first."

Su Mo said: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to Su Mo, Su Xiaoxiao came to Wei Liulang and asked softly: "Did you hear everything just now?"

"I heard it." Wei Liulang said in a low mood.

When Su Xiaoxiao went to Helianye's house to find out the murderer, he wanted to guard his elder brother and not go through. But just now he had been at the door and listened from beginning to end, and there was nothing he couldn't understand.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Su Xiaoxiao could feel the blow he suffered from his tense body.

"Brother Six." Su Xiaoxiao called softly.

"He is Min'er's father..." Wei Liulang's eyes turned red.

Xiao Min, the little princess of Nanyang Palace, the biological mother of Big Tiger, Two Tigers and Little Tiger.

King Nanyang was a king and a friend to the rest of the Wei family, but to Wei Liulang, he had another identity.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to comfort him. It seemed superfluous to say anything at this time.

This is an sworn hatred, a betrayal by someone closest to you, and an indescribable grief.

Wei Ting is back.

"Brother Six, Xiaoxiao."

Wei Liulang turned around and said in his usual tone: "I'm going back to the house first."

Wei Ting watched Wei Liulang enter his and his eldest brother's house, and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Let's go back too."

The two returned to the room.

As soon as Mr. Li left, the three little guys were sleeping soundly with their legs in the air.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the window, sat down with Wei Ting, and poured Wei Ting a cup of herbal tea to relieve the heat: "Have you met King Nanyang?"

"I saw you." Wei Ting had a complicated look on his face, "But I feel like he's not the same person at all."

"How do you say it?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting recalled: "The change was so great that I could hardly recognize him."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "The last time you saw King Nanyang was ten years ago, right? After the Nanyang King's Mansion was exterminated, you never saw King Nanyang again."

Wei Ting said: "Yes, I don't know that he is still alive. I always thought that only Sixth Sister-in-law survived."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ten years can change a lot, enough to make a person completely reborn."

"I know." Wei Ting couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. "The scar behind his ear is still there. He is the King of Nanyang, but... I just don't think it is him. He is left-handed, but now his dominant hand is his right hand. His

The way of martial arts has also changed, the eyes, the aura... are all different from before. The sixth brother and the eldest brother have also changed, but no matter how they change their martial arts and habits, I can still recognize them. King Nanyang... If not

His identity has been confirmed, and I almost dare not recognize him."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. After all, we haven't seen him for ten years, and you are not as familiar with him as your brother.

You know, this is Wei Ting.

His mind and memory are extraordinary.

So, what happened to make King Nanyang a different person?

To be cautious, Su Xiaoxiao cut off a small piece of Dahu's hair and took the cup from Helianye's house into the pharmacy.

The cup was drunk by King Nanyang in the secret room.

The results showed that the genetic relationship between King Nanyang and Dahu was established. He was the real King of Nanyang and not someone else pretended to be.

"Could he be the son of the eldest princess? Has he been exchanged with the Queen Mother?"

The three little ones crawled on the Queen Mother all day long, and Su Xiaoxiao found a piece of the Queen Mother's white hair from Xiaohu's change of clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the final test results: "Well, he is the Queen Mother's biological son."
