Chapter 1825

When Anxia learned that Cen Yuan had fallen off a cliff and her life was in danger, she was in labor pain. The heart-wrenching pain unexpectedly broke through the seal of the Zhuyou technique - everything she should and shouldn't remember came flooding back like a flood.

Now, she is also a person holding a shocking secret.

She knew that Bei Yi must have poisoned Cen Yuan. In the previous life, Zhuo Qiran committed suicide, and several ministers and his uncle all chose to commit suicide, which was ironclad evidence of the poisoning.

Cen Yuan nodded slightly, "Beiyi was poisoned." After a pause, he shook his head again, "But it's not just Beiyi."

Ever since he knew that Zhuo Qiran had participated in poisoning in his previous life, he had had an in-depth discussion with Zhuo Qiran about "Bai Qi Lie Gu San".

During this discussion, he discovered some clues.

"Some of these symptoms are not found in Baiqi Liegu San." When Cen Yuan mentioned this poison again, his fingertips still trembled slightly.

Shi Anxia held his hand, her fingers gentle, "So you suspect that in addition to being poisoned by the Hundred Qi Bone Lie Powder, you were also poisoned by something else?"

Cen Yuan said, "Yes. Zhuo Qiran said that Baiqi Liegusu will not cause skin ulcers, and the onset of the poisoning is very slow, like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, and people will feel the pain seeping into the bone seams little by little over a year or two, or three to five years."

But when the poison took effect that day, it was clearly overwhelming. He thought it was because of his special constitution, but Zhuo Qiran told him that the medicinal properties of Baiqi Liegusu would not change due to any constitution.

At that time, for the stability of Liang State, Cen Yuan immediately passed the throne to Cen Che.

The reason why he never doubted Cen Che was because Cen Che really cared about him and found the best medicine and the best doctor for him to relieve his physical pain.

Now thinking about it carefully, it is terrifying. The Emperor treated him well only because he would never threaten the imperial power again.

The Emperor does not need to kill him, but can instead gain a good reputation.

Shi Anxia understood immediately, "So you suspect that Cen Che's people have been planted among your people?"

"I suppose so."

Who dares to be absolutely loyal when interests are at stake? Cen Yuan wants to use this fall off the cliff to re-examine everyone around him.

He came to Shi Anxia as Ye Xun, of course, to be closer to her. And, "If I die, you and the children will not become a thorn in the side of Liang State."

He has a family now and cannot show it in public.

"You mean, someone has exposed your identity as Emperor Heng of Liang?" Shi Anxia was not surprised.

The rumor that came from Chang'an County, saying that the Northern Wing Prince Consort was the emperor Mingde's son who was exiled to the common people, was enough to prove this point.

Someone in Liang State has already set his sights on Cen Yuan. As for the saying of "a prince living among the people", someone must be covering for Cen Yuan in front of Emperor Yong.

Now that Cen Yuan was dead in public, Emperor Yong heaved a sigh of relief and stopped being so nervous. It also made Cen Che give up completely. He would never think of stepping on Emperor Heng to ascend to the throne again in this lifetime.

Shi Anxia speculated again, "Is there a traitor in the Luo family, or is there someone among the Twelve Killers who turned against them?"

"On the day of our wedding, Qingtian Ding sent people to kill you. If no one of the 'Twelve Killers' cooperated, Luo Ying would not have succeeded." Cen Yuan has been investigating this matter and has never given up.

Because of this, the Twelve Killers rarely got close to An Xia later on.

Shi Anxia never trusted the Twelve Killers. She also reminded him, "How can you believe that they won't betray you?"

Because of this sentence, Cen Yuan suddenly realized that the longer the reset timeline was, the more people's hearts would collapse.

The reason why most people followed Emperor Heng to restore the throne was that they shouted "upholding the orthodoxy", but what they were burning with hope was the enormous wealth that would come from following the emperor.

What Cen Yuan wanted to restore the throne was a delicate surgical operation: wait until Emperor Yong had devoured the country himself, wait until the people's resentment reached its peak, and then complete the power transfer at the lowest cost.
