But on second thought, so what if they recognized him?
Just as Emperor Wuhen had said, he was the Sixth Prince who was traveling outside.
As long as he passed the bloodline test, no one would question his identity as the Sixth Prince.
The next morning.
The eunuch of the Imperial Palace delivered the prince's clothes tailored for the Sixth Prince.
A moment later, Su Yu was dressed in a yellow robe with a four-dragon collar, a jade belt around his waist, and a pair of gold-embroidered leather boots.
Soft silver hair covered his back, and a crystal crown made him look even more dazzling.
Emperor Wuhen's eyes flashed with amazement as he stared at Su Yu's unusually handsome face and calm demeanor. He praised sincerely, "I have to say, you are more like a prince than the five princes! Especially your temperament. I don't believe you are faking it. "
Su Yu had been the leader of many forces many times, and he had even been crowned a king himself.
In terms of temperament, the five princes could not compare to Su Yu.
"If that's the case, there's a higher chance." Emperor Wuhen's lips curled into a smile of anticipation.
Outside the house, Princess Ruchen urged impatiently, "Are you done? I'm coming in! "
Without waiting for a response, she pushed the door open and entered. What she saw was a luxurious yellow-robed youth that she almost did not recognize.
His handsome features, complemented by the luxurious clothes, looked like he had been reborn.
She stared at him dumbly for a moment, then gasped in surprise. "You … haven't you changed a little too much?"
Su Yu smiled faintly and said, "Sister, why don't you go with me?"
Regaining her composure, Princess Ruchen smiled playfully. "Alright, brother!"
She came to Su Yu's side like a little bird, reached out to grab his arm, and gracefully accompanied Su Yu out of the house.
Su Yu's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes glanced down.
Although Princess Ruchen was young, she had matured. The soft pressure from his arm made him uncomfortable.
Moreover, whether it was intentional or not, she kept rubbing against him, constantly provoking his nerves.
Su Yu subconsciously pulled his hand away, but Princess Ruchen looked at him with a faint smile. "Brother, what's wrong? We are brother and sister, what are you upset about? "
Smacking his lips, Su Yu put down his hand and let her hug him tightly.
At this moment, a mischievous voice whispered into his ears, "You weren't this serious when you tried to assassinate Fantasy Moon Langjun!"
Hearing this, Su Yu could not help but roll his eyes at her. In return, she smiled mischievously.
Su Yu was slightly startled and could not help but ponder.
This woman was confused for a moment, but in the next moment, she gave off an unfathomable feeling. It was really strange.
Ever since they got to know each other, he could clearly feel that this woman had two personalities. It felt like he was interacting with two different people at the same time.
However, this thought disappeared in a flash. He followed Princess Ruchen into the inner residence of the royal palace.
The bloodline test was conducted by the Inner Imperial Clan Court, which was formed by members of the royal family and eunuchs trusted by the monarch.
The outside world had yet to hear any news of the bloodline test, but the Imperial Palace was already in an uproar.
Everyone knew that the king's illegitimate son had returned.
The implication was not only that the Imperial Family had one more prince, but more importantly, there was one more contender for the throne.
At the critical moment when the crown prince was about to be crowned, the Sixth Prince had appeared out of nowhere. It was really thought-provoking.
Along the way, the imperial guards, maids, and eunuchs all bowed to him in reverence.
The illusion of being revered by tens of thousands of people could easily make one feel intoxicated.
Princess Ruchen's crystal-clear eyes glanced at his expression, and she could not help but be secretly surprised. Ordinary people would show an unnatural expression in front of such a scene, and even some emperors were no exception.
It was rare for Su Yu to have such a temperament at such a young age.
An hour later, they passed through most of the Imperial Palace and arrived at the Imperial Clan Court.
At the moment, the Imperial Clan Court was heavily guarded. The entrance hall, the courtyard walls, and the sky were all guarded by powerful imperial guards.
There was also a powerful formation that sealed off the entire Imperial Clan Court.
Without permission, no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even the transmission of information was blocked off by the formation.
It was obvious that the Imperial Family valued this test very much. Before the results were obtained, no information was allowed to be leaked.
"Greetings, Princess!" The imperial guards outside the door respectfully made way. Their shouts alarmed everyone in the residence, and they all looked over in surprise.
When they glanced over at Princess Ruchen, they were all stunned.
Dongfang Xia only had one daughter, but she was extraordinarily beautiful and had great potential. She had long since become the dream lover of many princes in the Imperial City.
Of course, they could not ignore the unfamiliar young man who was holding Princess Ruchen's arm intimately.
Hints of unfriendliness appeared, but when they saw his attire, the unfriendliness disappeared and was replaced by surprise and curiosity.
"Haha, isn't this my sister?" A loud, deafening voice came from within the Imperial Clan Court.
The crowd automatically made way for a wide path, and five young men dressed in yellow robes with coiled dragons appeared.
Every one of them had at least the shocking cultivation of a peak overlord!
Coupled with their noble statuses, the five of them had an unstoppable aura.
Su Yu suddenly felt a great pressure pressing down on him, forcing him to retreat.
He revealed a slight smile. It seemed that his "brothers" were not very friendly, and they were deliberately trying to intimidate him.
Unfortunately, even the emperors could not suppress him with their auras, let alone the few of them.
He remained motionless, not even lifting the sleeves of his yellow robe. His entire being was like a stabilizing force in the midst of a tsunami.
A faintly discernible divine energy circulated around the surface of his body, easily withstanding all the pressure.
"The cultivation of a peak overlord! This illegitimate son's cultivation is unfathomable! "
"He is younger than his brothers, but his cultivation is catching up to theirs. It seems like the rumors that he has been training outside all year round are true."
"Haha, this is going to be a good show."
The five princes had different expressions, but most of them were unaffected. They looked at their sister and ignored Su Yu.
Only the Fifth Prince looked at Su Yu in surprise, his eyes flashing.
"Greetings, my brothers," Princess Ruchen greeted them with a smile.
The five princes welcomed her personally, chatting enthusiastically. They were quite friendly toward this sister, unlike the vigilance they had toward their other brothers.
Su Yu looked on coldly from the sidelines. He could not help but find it funny. They were friendly because they felt that Princess Ruchen posed the least threat.
Unfortunately, what they did not expect was that the seemingly harmless Princess Ruchen was actually also coveting the throne, and had secretly made arrangements for it.
As they conversed, Princess Ruchen returned to her silly and muddle-headed appearance. She did not seem shrewd at all.
After a while, one of the princes finally saw Su Yu. He looked him up and down in surprise. "Eh? Could this be the son that you have found that seems to be my father's? "
The other four princes looked over as well, seemingly led by the prince who had spoken.
Su Yu observed this person for a while. He was slightly older, looking like he was nearing his thirties.
His sideburns were white, and there were strands of white hair in between his hair. He looked like he had turned white before he became old.
But his eyes were dark green, and when he looked at people, it was as if he could see through them.
What surprised Su Yu the most was that his cultivation was at the Martial Emperor Realm.
This person's identity was easy to guess.
"Yes, eldest brother. He is my sixth brother." Princess Ruchen clung onto Su Yu's arm affectionately.
He was the renowned king of the Dayu Empire, Dongfang Wudi!
The First Prince smiled at Su Yu to show his friendliness, but he did not say a word.
In his eyes, Su Yu could see the hidden disdain. Or rather, it was not completely hidden.
Regardless of status or cultivation, Dongfang Wudi was no match for the First Prince. It was normal for him to be disdainful.
The other princes merely nodded and did not say a word.
"Since you are here, let us begin the examination. If you pass, our royal family will have one more person," the First Prince announced expressionlessly.
The representatives of the ten great feudal lands did not have the time to take a closer look at Su Yu's appearance. They followed the princes and princesses into the manor.
A few members of the royal family and the eunuchs trusted by the monarch waited in front of a giant gold-plated vat with a dragon carved on it. It was as tall as two men.
The surface of the vat was carved with complicated patterns, and a lifelike dragon was wrapped around the patterns.
"Before we confirm your identity, we will temporarily call you Mister Dongfang," the eunuch appointed by the monarch said with a long yawn. The eunuch appointed by the monarch was exceptionally old. His face was wrinkled and drooped, as if he was about to fall asleep. He let out a long yawn as he spoke.
Su Yu said, "That should be the case."
The old eunuch looked at the members of the royal family and said amiably, "Imperial Uncle Chen, Princess Zhao, Empress Li, if you do not have any questions, shall I begin the examination?"
The three members of the royal family had been invited to be witnesses.
If there was no need, they would naturally not be nosy enough to question Su Yu. If they angered him, and he was really a member of the royal family, wouldn't he hate them out of jealousy?
"Eunuch Cao, please begin."
Eunuch Cao looked at Su Yu with a smile. With a smile, his drowsy eyes looked as if they were about to close. "Mister Dongfang, please enter the Dragon Vat."
Su Yu looked at Princess Ruchen. After receiving her nod, he leaped into the vat without a change in expression.
Following which, Eunuch Cao came before the Dragon Vat and pressed his palm on it. "Mister Dongfang, this Dragon Vat is a secret treasure of the empire. It is specially made to examine one's bloodline. I will now activate this treasure. You should also activate your divine energy to stimulate the circulation of your bloodline.
If you have the bloodline of the Dongfang royal family, the Dragon Vat will react. The carved dragon will emit a purple glow.
Mister Dongfang, do you understand? Or do you have any questions? "
Su Yu had already heard Emperor Wuhen explain the Dragon Vat in detail. He had an idea. "I will begin activating my bloodline."
As he spoke, he immediately activated the divine energy in his body and secretly activated a shred of the blood essence of the Dongfang royal family hidden in his body.
The blood essence spread along with the divine energy to his limbs and bones, flowing through his meridians.
At this moment, everyone present stared intently at the dragon diagram on the Dragon Vat.
Whether the diagram reacted or not was the only proof of Su Yu's identity!
Time passed slowly. Ten breaths had passed, and the dragon diagram was still silent. There was no change.
Princess Ruchen had a smile on her face. She looked relaxed, but in fact, her heart was in her throat.
Although there was no problem in theory, who knew if there would be a sudden change?
Seeing that there was still no change in the dragon diagram as time passed, her heart gradually sank.
The surrounding people began to whisper among themselves.
"That's not right. If he has the bloodline of the royal family, there should be a change within ten breaths. Twenty breaths have passed, but there is still no change!"
"Could he be an impostor?"
"I don't think so … He was brought back by Princess Ruchen herself. If he is an impostor, Princess Ruchen will inevitably be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The faces of the three members of the royal family began to turn solemn.
Impersonating a prince was a grave crime. They could not afford to let their guard down.
The princes who were watching closely also had different expressions on their faces.
