Concubine Yu looked indifferent, "What does this mean?"
"I am begging in the mountains, but my beloved never returns. Ups and downs, we are so far apart, and I miss you so much."
Shen Xu recited the poem on the crumpled piece of paper, "Love poem, who is it written for?"
Concubine Yu said nothing, and subconsciously turned the ring on her hand, her expression still as indifferent as snow.
Shen Xu said quietly, "I am begging in the mountains... the Grand Marshal of the Army, Su Yi.
I heard that he is already in his fifties. He should be a few years older than your father.
You were born before I was born, and I was born when you were old. We were wrong to each other, and I only regret that you were born early.
Concubine Yu, who could have foreseen the reason behind your determination to achieve your goal, even at the cost of upending the entire world?"
Everyone was shocked and said in unison: "What!"
"The former crown prince will probably never understand until his death how he, a handsome and affectionate young man, could be defeated by an old man, right?"
Concubine Yu showed a hint of displeasure on her face. She sat in the chair without saying a word, neither denying nor admitting.
Pei Zhiyuan said sullenly, "Xinyu, what exactly is Sister Qingzhu..."
Song Lin covered his eyes and couldn't bear to watch any longer. He couldn't help but say what Shen Xu had just whispered in his ear about Pei Zhiyuan, "Brother Pei, don't call her Xinyu. Are you really face-blind? How can you not even tell the difference between your wife and your aunt?"
Shen Xu argued for him, "Husband, you haven't seen his wife and you don't know. They look really alike, and it's hard for ordinary people to tell them apart."
"That's outrageous! He can't even recognize his own wife. If his aunt wants to get him, it would be easy!"
"My husband, what kind of lewd words are these?" Shen Xu covered his eyes and shook his head. "His eldest aunt has a unique vision. Even the crown prince doesn't like her. How could she possibly like him?"
"What on earth is going on!" Pei Zhiyuan stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning. "Isn't it Sister Qingzhu who is in the Hongxiao formation?"
"Of course not, that person is probably your wife..."
Shen Xu's voice was heavy: "She said that because she was afraid that you would be sad and give up. She wanted you to have a hope of living..."
"You...how do you know that? You've obviously never seen my wife."
“Before she died, she told me to take good care of you.
If she was your aunt, how could she entrust her brother-in-law to another woman's care when her sister was still alive? "
"So, Xinyu really has..." Pei Zhiyuan's deep eyes were covered with tears. He lost his balance for a moment and staggered back two steps. He stood firm by holding the back of the chair, and was speechless.
"I'm afraid so."
Shen Xu nodded and replied sullenly, “The original Red Silk Formation used a combination of illusions and poisonous fog. Since the Imperial Master couldn’t create an illusion, he used a real beauty to lure anyone who entered the formation into a trap.
The person who concocted the poisons that are mutually reinforcing and counteracting is a true master of poison. I'm afraid only you, the aunt who has the nickname Xiao Yanlin, can do that.
By the way, your wild geese probably inhaled the poisonous mist in the red gauze array, which caused them to cry blood and die.
In the last letter, your wife gave up asking for help..."
Pei Zhiyuan looked at Concubine Yu with red eyes, his tone filled with disbelief and grief, "Why do you hate her so much? What was the reason that you had to throw her into such a hopeless Hong Xiao poison array, insulting her and torturing her! She is your own sister!"
Concubine Yu could no longer sit still. She stood up and argued, "Zhiyuan, don't listen to her nonsense. I know nothing about it. This witch is spreading rumors and misleading people. She wants to seize the throne of Haoyue Kingdom and force you to do things for her.
I'm not a master of poison, and she has no evidence to prove that I did these things."
Shen Xu spread out the paper and smelled it, then said, “The cakes Pei Zhiyuan brought me were wrapped in this paper.
The pastries were unpalatable, hard and difficult to swallow, but the powder on top was very sweet and not only relieved pain but also refreshed the mind.
As for me, it was thanks to this Danbaigui powder that I was able to hold on and not faint from the pain."
Concubine Yu said coldly, "Just a little bit of powder, what can it mean?"
“Most people can’t make Danbaigui, and even I can only recognize it.
The Imperial Master did not understand poison theory, and his secret guards knew even less, otherwise they would not have been able to cure the poison on his face.
So, where did you get Danbaigui from?
How could a concubine who seemed to be imprisoned in the deep palace have such a secret and skill to obtain Dan Baigui?"
Concubine Yu raised her eyes and sat back in her chair, "How could I have such a thing?"
Shen Xu pointed at Concubine Yu’s shoes and replied, “But your Xinlan Garden is full of rice-shell flowers. Look, there are petals on your shoes.
I heard that Pei Zhiyuan blocked a whip for you two days ago and the wound hasn't healed yet. You were just beaten up, but the bruises and scars disappeared without a trace today?
Which god healed you?"
Concubine Yu said nothing. She twirled the ring on her hand with one hand and clenched the handkerchief tightly with the other.
Shen Xu continued, “The Blood-Inducing Rejuvenation Pill is not for your own use, but for your lover, General Su.
You should have obtained the relevant books and documents from the Northern Yan Kingdom and started studying the forbidden techniques mentioned above.
Since you are the Crown Princess, there is no way you can be with someone older than your father.
So, in order to get rid of this identity, you designed this crazy plan.
Kill the crown prince, kill the previous emperor, and put a puppet on the throne.
He forced the imperial teacher to recruit strong men and beautiful women for you in order to develop an elixir that could restore his youth.
