Chapter 59
"Later, when Shao Ziqing arrived at the place he had arranged in advance, he saw Zou Yanqing's body." Qin Nanxian said this very softly, with endless sadness and regret in his eyes.
Jiang Zuiyao could not imagine how broken Shao Ziqing would be at that time.
One body and two lives, the woman he loved died at the hands of his biological father.
No wonder Shao Ziqing hates him so much. If it were her, she would hate him too.
Jiang Zuiyao finally knew why Shao Ziqing changed. He had followed the right path in the past, with the so-called justice in mind, but could not protect her beloved woman, so he would say: If he could be as ruthless and decisive as he is today, Zou Yanqing would
Won't die.
Jiang Zuiyao was completely silent. She didn't know what to say. She seemed to understand Shao Ziqing.
Qin Nanxian sighed with sorrow in his eyes, and added: "And this is just the beginning. The Jiangzhou salt tax, following the assassination of the Jiangzhou governor a while ago, has finally surfaced, something that has been buried for three years."
Jiang Zuiyao asked: "Why was the governor of Jiangzhou assassinated?"
Qin Nanxian gave the answer: "Because he has evidence of tax evasion by the prime minister, and there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind it."
So, the governor of Jiangzhou was killed by the prime minister?
No wonder Shao Ziqing cares so much. If he gets that evidence, he will definitely overthrow the prime minister.
Qin Nanxian saw Jiang Zuiyao's thoughts and said coldly: "Don't expect to overthrow the Prime Minister. His power is beyond your imagination, and his ambition and ruthlessness are beyond your ability to recognize."
Jiang Zuiyao recognized this point very much.
At least Shao Ziqing would not hesitate to anger his father for a servant like Aunt Li, but the prime minister could kill his pregnant biological daughter with his own hands!
Qin Nanxian then added: "On the night when the governor of Jiangzhou was killed, the Imperial City Department also sent people there."
Jiang Zuiyao had heard a little bit about this and asked, "Is he the lone wolf you talked about in the teahouse?"
Qin Nanxian nodded: "It was he who found out about Shao Ziqing and Zou Yanqing's elopement and told Shao Zifeng."
In this case, Shao Zifeng was the murderer who indirectly killed Jiang Zuiyao. If he had not told Shao Zifeng, the prime minister would not have known about it, and Shao Ziqing and Zou Yanqing could have escaped smoothly that day.
No wonder Shao Ziqing killed Lone Wolf, this is also his current style of doing things.
Immediately, Qin Nanxian revealed another shocking secret: "The seventh princess is pregnant with a lone wolf's child."
!!
Jiang Zuiyao took a deep breath of cold air.
Qin Nanxian said: "The Queen Mother also knows about this matter. Lone Wolf has been a confidant of the Queen Mother for many years."
Now Jiang Zuiyao understood everything. With the Queen Mother's protection, it was not unreasonable for the Seventh Princess to be able to sit on the wedding sedan with a pregnant belly of several months.
However, there was one thing Jiang Zuiyao didn't understand and asked: "What is the Imperial City Division?"
Qin Nanxian's face turned completely cold when he mentioned this organization: "It is a royal secret organization established by the Queen Mother. It works specifically for the Queen Mother, protects the Queen Mother's safety, and also conducts spying and supervision."
The Imperial City Division usually reports on abnormal domestic developments, prevents the suppression of unruly activities, investigates folk customs and slanderous politicians, and investigates the illegal behavior of officials. It is more similar to a spy agency. It attracts a large number of idle scoundrels and detectives.
The privacy of officials and people, no matter how big or small, was reported to the Queen Mother, creating a terrifying situation where everyone was terrified and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao finally discovered the Queen Mother's ambition.
She, a woman who was supposed to live her old life in the harem, reached out to the court and the people. What was she going to do?
At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao asked eagerly: "Why did the Queen Mother do this?"
Qin Nanxian said: "The Queen Mother is the daughter of the founder of the Withered Bones Clan. She adheres to her mother's last wish and wants to revive the Withered Bones Clan!"
Jiang Zuiyao asked in surprise: "Is the Withered Bone Clan perished?"
Qin Nanxian nodded, and Jiang Zuiyao was even more confused: "Even if the founder dies, someone should inherit it."
Such questions made Qin Nanxuan look at Jiang Zuiyao with unfathomable eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly: "The medical skills of the Withered Bones Clan are different from the medical skills of the world, and you are the key to the Queen Mother's revival of the Withered Bones Clan."
!!
"Me?" Jiang Zuiyao asked in disbelief.
Qin Nanxian nodded.
Oh my God! This...
Jiang Zuiyao was instantly shocked: "What does all this have to do with me? Why is it me?"
Could it be that……
For a moment, a surprising thought came to Jiang Zuiyao's mind.
Qin Nanxian looked at Jiang Zuiyao's frightened look and asked, "What did you think of?"
Jiang Zuiyao stared at Qin Nanxian's face, her mind filled with thoughts and fears.
Everything was just conjecture. Without evidence, Jiang Zuiyao would not speak rashly. She did not tell Qin Nanxian, but only asked: "Why didn't the Queen Mother's mother teach medicine? She should also have thought that if she died,
The Withered Bone Clan will have no successors."
Qin Nanxian sighed softly: "The Queen Mother's mother married the head of the Taixuan Clan, so the Taixuan Clan and the Withered Bone Clan complement each other. The founder wanted to pass on what he had learned throughout his life to the Queen Mother, but something happened later.
What, the founder was assassinated inexplicably, and the Queen Mother was only eight years old at the time."
It turns out that this is the case. If you carefully calculate, this happened decades ago.
Jiang Zuiyao asked again: "What does the Queen Mother want to do to revive the Withered Bone Clan?"
Qin Nanxian shook his head: "My aunt has very deep thoughts. I have asked her before, but she refused to tell me."
Jiang Zuiyao finally knew the answer she had been searching for for many days. For the Queen Mother, her existence was just an indispensable step in reviving the Withered Bone Clan.
Recalling what happened a while ago, Jiang Zuiyao asked again: "What happened during the more than 20 days when I was in coma?"
Qin Nanxian did not hide anything and replied truthfully: "You can only control the Jiangzhou Salt Tax in the hands of the Queen Mother, because you are the daughter of the Minister of Hubu, and the Shangshu of Hubu is the key to the Jiangzhou Salt Tax."
Sure enough, it was indeed a conspiracy.
In this conspiracy, Jiang Zuiyao became a key pawn of the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager suddenly valued her so much and let everyone know in a high-profile manner that Jiang Zuiyao was now her new favorite.
But she doesn't know what she has to do with the Jiangzhou salt tax?
Being in the fog and not knowing the way out, Jiang Zuiyao was completely confused.
The countless clues and sad emotions in her mind made Jiang Zuiyao feel extremely uncomfortable, and she even felt short of breath and couldn't catch her breath. She quickly got up and walked to the window, breathing heavily.
Qin Nanxian looked at Jiang Zuiyao's appearance and said, "Your body has always been weak, and now you are pregnant again. You need to rest more and stop thinking wildly."
Jiang Zuiyao was a little anxious, turned around and said irritably: "You said it lightly, but how can all this not make me think wildly? I thought that after listening to your words, I could know the ins and outs of the matter, but the result made me feel even more
Confusion. Why? Why me?"
