The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 920 People’s hearts will change

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.

But what those eager followers wanted was clearly a bloody feast that would allow them to be promoted to higher positions.

If Cen Yuan drags it out for a few years, he will be seen as a coward in the eyes of his subordinates.

How can one be restored to the throne without bloodshed and death? Only by sitting on that position amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood can one demonstrate the nobility of the throne and the decisiveness of killing.

Shi Anxia thought about it and explained, "In my previous life, Jin Qi came to assassinate me for you, so I thought there was something wrong with him. But later I thought about it, he is the most loyal to the master."

Another reason why she didn't trust the Twelve Killers was that except Ming Yi, all of them were from Liang.

In other words, eleven of the twelve killers were loyal to the Emperor of Liang.

But people's hearts can change.

No one can guarantee whether the death warriors of that year would change during the power transition.

"It's Fanjiu!" Cen Yuan has already found out, "Fanjiu loves Luoying. So Luoying wanted to ruin our marriage, and Fanjiu agreed."

"Did you deal with him?" Shi Anxia asked.

"Yes, Fan Jiu was dealt with. But here, Shen Liu should have defected to Cen Che. I will keep my troops on hold and see who else he can pry into."

The couple chatted again.

Shi Anxia stood up and said, "I came here as Bei Hui, so it's not appropriate for me to stay here for too long. I'm going back now. When you have time, tell me the timeline and major events, and I'll analyze them for you."

She was confident that she was better than her husband at controlling people's hearts.

No one knew that Shi Anxia had stayed in Ye Xun's room because Bei Hui had been sleeping in the room disguised as Shi Anxia.

When Shi Anxia came back like a ghost, Bei Hui was a little excited. She pinched the corner of Madam's sleeve and lowered her voice very low, but her fingertips couldn't stop trembling, "Is that really the young master?"

After receiving a positive answer, Bei Hui suddenly lifted up the hem of her skirt and turned around. The tip of her embroidered shoes almost kicked over the smoking cage. She clasped her hands together and said, "God bless you, God bless you! I said our young master is a man of great fortune and destiny, and it turns out to be true."

Shi Anxia looked at her joy with a smile, and finally reminded her leisurely, "You can continue to be dissatisfied with him in the future, but don't show your true colors."

Bei Hui smiled, "I know, I know, ma'am!"

She looked at the rosy glow on her lady's cheeks and felt overjoyed, as if the sky had cleared up.

She couldn't help but ask, "What about Ye Bao'er? I heard that Ye Bao'er jumped down with him. Is he okay?"

Shi Anxia smiled meaningfully, "We docked in Shicheng just to pick up Ye Baoer."

"Miss Anxue will never cry again." Bei Hui said with a smile.

The next day, Yu Sujun took Shi Anxue out shopping.

When he came back, he didn't buy anything, but he brought back a big white long-haired dog.

Shi Anxue begged her mother, "Please, let me keep it. It has followed me all the way. It must be the dog that got lost in my previous life."

Yu Sujun was annoyed, "I don't even want to raise a dog, so why should I help you raise one?"

Shi Anxue was angry. "I'll ask Sister Xia'er. She will definitely agree to let me keep this dog. Mother, you see, although it is a long-haired big white dog, its eyes look like Ye Bao'er's."

"I think you've gone crazy thinking about Ye Bao'er." Yu Sujun didn't forbid her daughter from keeping a dog, but she wanted to negotiate conditions, "Will you take care of its eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the future?"

"I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it all." Shi Anxue pointed to the sky and swore.
