Chapter 133: She exchanged her life for another, and that was also the life of that girl.
Shen Sanyuan also said, "I am not only Shen Yun, but also Haoyue."
"Master Haoyue?" the fifth one asked.
Shen Sanyuan nodded, "Yes. It was Master Haoyue. The real Shen Yun was killed by the Fan family girl. At that time, the old emperor intended to marry Shen Yun to the crown prince Xiao Yun as a concubine."
"He wants to use Shen Yun's notoriety to suppress the Fan girl." Diwu Xun said.
"That's right. But he never expected that the Fan family girl would resort to such a bad plan. She bribed the people in the public transportation department and fed some crazy drugs to the horse that Shen Yun had been riding. This caused Shen Yun to fall off the horse on the polo field! After falling off the horse, Shen Yun was fed a poison by the imperial physician. It was this drug that sent her to the west and let me take over her body!"
"Imperial Physician? Isn't he afraid that if Shen Yun dies, his life will be in danger?"
"He's not afraid. Because he had a reason to kill Shen Yun! Shen Yun is vicious and cruel. At a palace banquet not long ago, because his ten-year-old daughter didn't wipe her hands after eating the candy cake, she ran into Shen Yun's arms and soiled her clothes. So she pushed the child into the pond! The daughter he just brought back from the north couldn't swim, so she was drowned alive!"
"Palace Banquet? So many people? No one is saving them?"
"Who dares to save her?" Shen Sanyuan glared. "The female guests of the palace banquet are located in the imperial garden separated from the officials by a wall. The only ones who saw her committing the crime were the young ladies of the noble families playing by the pond! Who dares to be her enemy at her command? No one wants to offend this notorious female tyrant! How can a mere daughter of an imperial physician compare to the daughter of the prime minister?"
Shen Sanyuan seemed to be tired of the past, but all of Shen Yun's past evil deeds were absorbed by her when she entered this body!
"After I was in her body, I knew everything within a day. But I didn't expose the doctor, because it was Shen Yun's fault. Her life in exchange for another's life can be considered as paying for that girl's life!"
"Later, Miss Fan came to trouble me a lot, but I am smart and well versed in medicine. How can she fight me, a woman who only knows how to use despicable means?"
"But I didn't expect that I would fall in love with him and marry him. I became his disciple under the name of Prince Haoyue and helped him secure his position as the crown prince! When the old emperor was about to die, I retired by faking my death. But who would have thought that the next year, I would become a victim and be forced into the cold palace!"
Diwu Xun's eyes were terribly red, and he murmured, "I'm sorry."
Shen Sanyuan chuckled, "You have nothing to be sorry for. You are just being used."
"So, you knew everything? But why didn't you resist?"
"Resist?" Shen Sanyuan's eyes gradually turned cold. "Do you think he doesn't know? We have been married for eight years! We have known each other for eleven years! What kind of person am I? How could he not know? But why is he like this? It's just..."
"Destroy the bridge after crossing it." Diwuxun said coldly.
Shen Sanyuan nodded and smiled bitterly, "No matter how smart I am, I still can't beat a monarch who has been learning the art of being an emperor and controlling people's hearts since he was a child!"
"..." Diwu Xun didn't say anything else. He was waiting for her to continue.
After a long pause, she suddenly looked at Diwu Xun, her peach blossom eyes captivating. She asked, "Didn't you and Ce'er suddenly appear in front of the imperial kitchen that day?"
Diwu Xun frowned even more tightly. Yes, why would they go to the imperial kitchen?
Because Xiao Xuance was hungry.
But there are pastries in every room in the palace, so why would they go to the imperial kitchen?
They were at the Queen's house. The two waited for a long time until the Queen, who had agreed to have breakfast with Xiao Xuance the day before, appeared.
But after waiting for a long time, a maid appeared and said, "The queen is not feeling well, so the plan to have breakfast with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to be put on hold. The queen said that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be served soon. If the Crown Prince is hungry, he can go to the imperial kitchen to find some food to fill his stomach."
Oddly enough, there were no refreshments in the Queen's palace that day.
It was not until today that Diwuxun noticed something unusual.
In front of his eyes, the young Xuan Ce seemed to appear, happily going to the imperial kitchen with him.
To be precise, they did not run into Concubine Yun at the door, but rather they happened to see Concubine Yun eating snacks in the imperial kitchen.
When Concubine Yun saw the two of them, she embarrassedly took two pieces of osmanthus cake and stuffed them into their hands, then slipped away.
"So, why is there poison in osmanthus cake?" asked Diwu Xun.
"Poisoned?" Shen Sanyuan sneered, "What do you think I ate when you saw me? Why wasn't I poisoned? But he was?"
Diwu Xun was stunned for a moment, "It can't be Xuan Ce."
Shen Sanyuan sighed, "It's impossible for him to do that, but his mother, Ms. Fan, took advantage of her son! The main ingredients of osmanthus cake are osmanthus, sugar, and rice wine, all of which contain a certain amount of ethanol. If ethanol is taken with cephalosporins, it will react with the ingredients in cephalosporins like disulfiram. Symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, facial flushing, and headache may occur. In severe cases, it may cause arrhythmia, difficulty breathing, and even death in patients!"
Diwu Xun was stunned. He had learned so much during this period of time, including simple medical knowledge.
He murmured, "Xuan Ce had been taking medicine for a sore throat during that time, but since he had been taking it for two days and had no discomfort, no one suspected it..."
"Yes. That medicine was left in the Imperial Hospital before I exploded to death as Haoyue!"
"But... why are they sure that you will give us the osmanthus cake? And why are they sure that you will be there?"
"The first question is, because my favorite food is sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Over the years, he has ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare it every day, and it has never changed. The second question is, because before you came, the door of the imperial kitchen had just been opened for less than half a minute!"
Diwu Xun was just about to ask, how can you guarantee that you will show up?
Shen Sanyuan then said, "Oh, I'll give you another answer. The reason why I went to get the osmanthus cake that day was because Zhier was instigated by someone and clamored to eat it early in the morning. I was just craving it at that time. It would have been fine if I hadn't said it, but now that I said it, my mouth is itching! So I went to get it. Of course, you may ask, why didn't I send someone to get it? I can answer all of that at once. People who know me know that I have always been self-reliant in my food, clothing and daily life, and I don't need anyone to serve me."
Diwu Xun didn't understand. "Since you are Master Haoyue, you must have known the reason at that time. Why didn't you explain it?"
"Look, you're asking again?" Shen Sanyuan smiled bitterly, "Didn't I tell you anything just now? Since he's pretending to know nothing and wants to destroy the bridge after crossing it, then this lunchbox should be my last gift to him from Nancy."
"Wait a minute." Diwu Xun suddenly asked, "So, you were already pregnant before you entered the cold palace?"
