As the saying goes, make bold assumptions and verify carefully. In special times, we still need to make full use of all conditions as much as possible.

Bai Xianyu sat down and took a sip of tea under the puzzled gazes of her brothers and others. Her dry lips were slightly moistened to calm her mind.

"What do you know? Tell me quickly, fourth brother, I'm so worried." Seeing the girl suddenly making a move, Bai Jinyan stepped forward and spoke first, "Is there someone who wants to harm you? Where have you been these days?"

Although Bai Jingyuan and Bai Mohuai were anxious, they held back and waited silently for Bai Xianyu to speak.

"I went to the imperial mausoleum."

The expressions of Bai Jingyuan and others immediately changed. Where is the imperial mausoleum? Without Emperor Wu Xuan's permission, it is basically impossible for others to get close. Even the maids sent to guard the mausoleum need to be approved by Emperor Wu Xuan.

Having served as an official in the court for many years, Bai Jingyuan knew all this very well, and it was precisely because of this that he was so shocked when he heard these words.

But before they could finish digesting the information hidden in this sentence, Bai Xianyu gently said another sentence, "National Preceptor Chilian, it's me."

"What!"

The three of them said in unison and looked at her in surprise.

Who is Chilian?

Now I am afraid that no one in Da Kui knows about him. Not only does he understand the past and present, and know the yin and yang, he also brings God's prophecies to Da Kui, which benefits the people and is famous all over the world.

It had only been a few months since Chilian had appeared, but the people had even begun to build temples for him and worship him devoutly. Even Emperor Wu Xuan praised him very much and treated him as a guest.

Bai Jingyuan had heard a lot of rumors about him all the way north, and was even worried about whether the presence of Chilian Imperial Master would pose a threat to them...

But who would have thought that the famous Imperial Master Da Kui was actually a girl!

Still his sister!

Bai Xianyu nodded, but there was no trace of relaxation on her face. She didn't give them time to think, and she continued: "I found the late emperor's edict in the imperial mausoleum."

"Wait a minute! Sister, please let me rest..."

As these bombshells hit one after another, Bai Jinyan felt like his brain had been blown into pieces!

The late emperor’s edict!

Xiao Yu'er could actually find this. If this thing came out, even Emperor Wu Xuan wouldn't be able to sit still.

Bai Xianyu opened his lips and stopped. He would tell them his speculation later. Compared with finding the late emperor's edict, it was a more shocking speculation. Now he should let them take it easy.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you can ask me anything you want to ask, but hurry up, here..." She raised her head and glanced outside the door, "It's almost unsafe."

Bai Mohuai frowned, "Why?"

Bai Xianyu thought to herself, if Emperor Wu Xuan is really as she thinks, the reason why he came to find her mother is because he wants to secretly deal with all the people who may have told this secret to her mother before she was alive, so as to ensure that this secret will never see the light of day...

…

Then, even if it is the Bai family, he will definitely not let it go.

The Empress Dowager did not give the posthumous edict to Emperor Wu Xuan, nor did she destroy it. There could only be one reason, and that was to have something to control Emperor Wu Xuan in the future.

This can also be deduced as to why Emperor Wu Xuan urgently sent more people to find his mother. No matter how greedy the Empress Dowager was, she would not tolerate her son, the country that the late Emperor worked so hard to build, falling into the hands of others.

If Emperor Wu Xuan was the child of the late emperor and his mother, then his mother would never have the chance to marry his father.

It is most likely because Emperor Wu Xuan was only his mother's child, but the father of the child was unknown.

When he found his mother, he had already fallen in love with his father in Jiangnan. In order not to expose his mother's scars, or because he was afraid that his mother's illness would become more serious, he chose to conceal the fact that she had given birth to a child.

Therefore, no matter how stupid the Empress Dowager is, she will not give up the great Kui country to a person who has no blood relationship with the late Emperor.

But she did it.

There is only one possibility to explain her behavior. First, she wanted to follow the example of her predecessors and listen to politics from behind the curtain. So this, coupled with the imperial edict, is the best excuse.

Second, she didn't know anything about it and thought Emperor Wu Xuan was the son of the late emperor.

Judging from past and present lives, the Empress Dowager was not in the first situation. She did not seize power during her lifetime.

The second possibility is the correct answer.

The most direct evidence that can verify her conjecture is what happened in the 26th year of Qianyuan when the Bai family was in disaster.

Many things happened that year. The eldest brother was imprisoned, the younger brothers were imprisoned one after another, there were floods in the south of the Yangtze River, envoys from enemy countries came to discuss peace...

There was one thing that she completely ignored.

That was the death of the Empress Dowager.

If the guess is correct, this is the real reason why Emperor Wu Xuan changed his attitude and wanted to put the Bai family to death - after the death of the Empress Dowager, he obtained the late emperor's edict and found out his life experience.

Although the Empress Dowager is dead, the Bai family is the biggest hidden danger in his heart.
