Upon hearing about the secret medicine of the previous dynasty, the atmosphere in Fengluan Palace suddenly became gloomy and depressing. No one could have imagined that after so many dynasties, the emperor of the Jin'an Dynasty would be poisoned by the secret medicine of the previous dynasty.

For the first time, Emperor Qinglong released his suffocating murderous pressure in front of Song Yunxi, but Song Yunxi, who was completely immersed in the secret medicine, did not notice it.

[Sure enough, my previous judgment was still hasty. If it weren't for the book of secret medicines from the previous dynasty left by my master, I would never have thought that the incense on Old Bai Lian was used to awaken the Soul-breaking Gu to suck the blood of the old emperor.]

[Although she was just a concubine, they were still a couple, and they were young couples. The old emperor favored her and even ignored the empress. He even ignored his other children and only favored her two children. No matter how you look at it, he really loved her. How could the old white lotus be so cruel to the old emperor? ]

In her previous life, she had seen the prescription that Shen Qiaoping gave to the old emperor in a pharmacy and found it strange at the time. On the surface, the prescription seemed to be able to replenish qi, nourish blood and strengthen the body, but because the dosage of several herbs was changed, it seemed that the medicine was too strong and was not suitable for a middle-aged man like the old emperor who had consumed too much energy and thought too much over the years. Using the medicine too strong and too quickly would accumulate excessive toxins in his body and consume his own essence and blood.

When he smelled the incense on Concubine Shen at the Spring Banquet, he was confused by the conflicting medicines and thought that the incense was simply an inducement of toxicity that was in conflict with the medicine. It was not until he read the secret medicine records of the previous dynasty and carefully examined the old emperor's pulse that he confirmed the existence of the soul-breaking Gu.

I have to say that the Wei family is indeed an expert at making poisons. No wonder they were able to gain control of the world with this alone.

Judging from the secret medicines from previous lives that Song Yunxi has come into contact with so far, the poisons made by the Wei family always appear to be no different from ordinary poisons. Some secret medicines even appear to have no problems with the pulse, such as the Cold Marrow Grass and the Soul-Breaking Gu.

If she hadn't used her internal energy to detect the pulse, she wouldn't have detected any abnormalities.

Shen Qiaoping's prescription did indeed nourish the old emperor's blood and essence, but the blood and essence were to be consumed by the soul-breaking Gu in his body.

No wonder the old emperor looked so excited that he didn't care about his life or death. It was entirely because of the abnormal reaction of the soul-breaking insect that overdrawn his body when sucking his essence and blood.

[But it's strange, the Soul-Breaking Gu is still in the old emperor's body, but judging from the pulse, it has become quiet. This doesn't make sense! The old emperor takes that prescription every day to nourish his blood and essence, how could the Soul-Breaking Gu miss the opportunity to absorb his blood and essence and grow stronger? ]

Emperor Qinglong pursed his lips tightly. He couldn't say that he stopped the prescription because he was afraid of death because he heard her voice!

Now he only cares about how to get the thing called Soul-breaking Gu out of his body.

【According to the records of the Secret Medicine Records of the previous dynasty, the Soul-breaking Gu can only be implanted into the human body through the method of the intersection of yin and yang. And judging from the pulse of the old emperor, the Soul-breaking Gu has been in his body for at least twenty years, but Ye Xuanke and his sister should be sixteen years old, and it seems that Old Bailian has not been in the palace for twenty years. So the Soul-breaking Gu in the old emperor was not done by Old Bailian? Then how did it come from?】

Song Yunxi felt that she had discovered the truth, and her eyes flashed with a blazing fire of gossip when she looked at Emperor Qinglong.

[Could it be that twenty years ago, the old emperor had an unknown old lover? And that old lover not only knew Old Bai Lian, but the two sisters even inherited the Soul-breaking Gu and were determined to take his life.]

[What kind of hatred-absorbing physique is this! ]

There was a murderous look in Emperor Qinglong's eyes that was frightening and terrifying.

He thought that Shen Yaoqin had changed her heart after entering the palace or resented him for not fulfilling his promise to marry only her, so she betrayed him and even did such a cruel thing as poisoning him. However, he never thought that she had been planning to take his life from such an early time.

In order to prevent her from being criticized and to preserve her reputation, he never mentioned his acquaintance with Shen Yaoqin. No one knew that he and Shen Yaoqin had secretly agreed to spend their lives together when he was still a prince.

At that time, all the emperor's brothers were still alive. He, a prince who grew up away from the imperial palace in Shengyun Mountain, had a estranged relationship with his father and was not taken seriously. He was the first to be eliminated from the battle for succession.

That's why, as a marginal prince at that time, he felt grateful and fell in love with Shen Yaoqin who took the initiative to get close to him.

Shen Yaoqin was the most beautiful and well-connected person in the capital at that time, and the Shen family also found a better son-in-law for her. However, she did not hesitate to make enemies with her family, risk her notoriety, run away from home, and go through thousands of hardships to find him at the border, and even threw away her daughter's pride and gave herself to him.

At that time, he secretly vowed to treat her well for the rest of his life and would never let her down for her selfless love and devotion.

He was not unaware of her arrogance after entering the palace, and he was also angry, but as long as he thought about the past, he could not blame her, and he doted on her even more.

After all, he was the one who broke his promise first. Not only did he not give her the three thousand beauties in his harem, he didn't even give her the status of his legal wife. He felt filled with guilt towards her.

Until he heard Song Yunxi's inner voice, he had firmly believed that Shen Yaoqin's feelings for him were the most sincere and unadulterated among all the women in the harem. He never expected that the subversion of his cognition would come so suddenly.

Even the night when she gave herself up regardless of everything and they secretly got married in violation of worldly etiquette was because she had ulterior motives.

The so-called recklessness and undying love were all just a joke of his own.

No wonder his father sternly refused his request for permission to marry Shen Yaoqin as his principal wife. Not long after that, the emperor issued an edict to arrange a marriage between him and the daughter of the Qin family.

He always thought that the Qin family had ulterior motives, but who would have thought that the one with real ulterior motives was Shen Yaoqin, the person he truly loved.

It is unknown whether the emperor knew that Shen Yaoqin had problems long ago, but he is indeed far inferior to the emperor in terms of identifying people and making good use of them.

Although I don’t know what happened twenty years ago, just looking at Emperor Qinglong’s ugly and gloomy expression, I know it must be related to Concubine Shen.

He was used as a pawn from the very beginning, and this use lasted for at least twenty years. It's sad to think about it.

Even the Queen and the Ye Xuanqi brothers did not expect such a reversal of events. It was simply too unbelievable.

Although the Queen felt some sympathy for Emperor Qinglong, she felt that everything was retribution when she thought about how her Qin family was exiled by him in her previous life and how she was forced to commit suicide.

She was not sure whether the poison her nephew Xubai was poisoned with was related to Emperor Qinglong, nor did she know what the final outcome of the Qin family was in the previous life, but she absolutely did not believe that she would commit suicide.
