Chapter 106 Yan Fengxiao, Marry Me
Uncle Chen said, "This man was once a eunuch in the palace. Investigations revealed that he worked in the Empress's palace many years ago, but was later expelled from the palace for making a mistake. He's been hanging around here for the past few years, occasionally taking on private jobs sent from the palace..."
"The Queen..."
Qin Mingzhu's eyes flickered.
In this way, the truth has come to light.
In fact, the true identity of those who can do this kind of business is not difficult to guess, that is, the people who are in power in the palace now.
No one except them could take the risk and do such a thing, and there was no need to do so.
No matter how great the benefits are, they are not as important as their lives.
Yan Fengxiao stared at the portrait and said in a cold voice, "The Queen? It matches some of the clues I found before."
When Qin Mingzhu heard him say this, she immediately turned her head to look over.
"Have you checked it out before?"
Yan Fengxiao placed the portrait on the table.
"Well, I found out some clues. The reason I didn't tell you... was because I didn't want you to get involved."
Qin Mingzhu wasn't angry either. She smiled and said, "But I've already been involved. If I don't get to the bottom of this and bring the person behind this to justice, my Qin family will probably collapse sooner or later. A few days ago, I caught a hidden pawn in their clutches. It was him in my previous life who caused my father's injuries to worsen!"
Yan Fengxiao quietly clenched his fingers hidden in his sleeves.
He lowered his eyebrows, and there seemed to be flames in his dark phoenix eyes.
Yan Fengxiao doesn't care about many people in his life.
The Qin couple always entertained him warmly, and whenever he came to the Qin family, he felt relaxed and comfortable.
Talking with General Qin, the two of them could chat more closely. Mrs. Qin looked at him as if she were looking at her son.
When Qin Mingzhu talked about her father, she suddenly recalled a scene that happened before.
Yan Qinghao seemed to have said something before he died...
"By the way, Commander-in-Chief, regarding what Yan Qinghao said before his death..."
Yan Fengxiao said, "It's not that important, don't worry about it."
"The governor isn't curious at all?" Qin Mingzhu asked in a puzzled tone.
She was actually a little puzzled before, because what Yan Qinghao said at that time didn't seem false.
If it is true, it means that Yan Fengxiao's background is very problematic.
However, she couldn't see the slightest curiosity on his face, and treated Yan Qinghao's words as nonsense.
"At that time, he would make up any lie to survive. You don't have to believe it."
That’s true.
Qin Mingzhu withdrew her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Now that she knew who the real mastermind behind the scenes was, it would be easy to deal with.
"So, the real situation back then was that the old Marquis of Dingyuan discovered that someone was secretly reselling military equipment for personal gain, and might even have secretly trained a group of private armies. That's why he was targeted and assassinated..."
In this incident, General Qin suffered an entirely unprovoked disaster.
At the time of the first assassination, General Qin, who happened to be a friend of the old marquis, was there, drinking with him in the manor, and then that tragedy happened.
The old marquis was injured at the same time as him, and General Qin sacrificed his legs to save the old marquis' life.
It's a pity that the old marquis passed away later. Someone must have tampered with the situation. With the sieve-like situation in the marquis's mansion, it's not impossible for such a thing to happen...
Yan Fengxiao listened to Qin Mingzhu carefully.
When she fell into deep thought, he slowly spoke: "This matter involves the struggle for imperial power. It is very likely that Prime Minister Ren is paving the way for the eldest prince to take the throne in advance..."
Qin Mingzhu's face was solemn. The two words "Ren Xiang" made her feel quite pressured.
This old prime minister has not appeared in the court for a long time and often takes sick leave at home, but he is still highly valued by the emperor.
He was one of the three highest officials in the government when he was prime minister, and his daughter became the empress of the dynasty. He even assisted the emperor in ascending the throne smoothly.
It can be said that he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the court.
However, no matter how difficult it is, this revenge must be taken.
Qin Mingzhu's eyes flickered, "I understand."
Yan Fengxiao warned: "If I leave, you will stay in the capital alone, and don't act rashly..."
She still had self-awareness and knew that with her current strength, she had no way to compete head-on with Prime Minister Ren.
The other party is an old family that has been rooted in the Southern Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years. It has a deep foundation and complex power. To put it bluntly, half of the officials in the court are secretly supporting the eldest prince.
This is the foundation and strength.
If the Emperor of Southern Yan had not refused to give in, the position of Crown Prince would have definitely belonged to the eldest prince.
The current balance within the royal family is caused by the confrontation between the Ren family and many other families, but it is hard to say how long it can last.
Qin Mingzhu only remembered that ten years later, the eldest prince successfully became the crown prince... This shows the strength of the Ren family.
"There's no rush to deal with the Queen and the First Prince. I told you before that I want the Governor to do me a favor."
Yan Fengxiao nodded slightly: "Well, just say it."
"Marry me..."
The two words came out of Qin Mingzhu's mouth lightly.
She sat beside him, slightly tilting her head, her bright eyes clear and transparent. At this moment, her eyes were filled with his reflection.
Yan Fengxiao was so shocked by these two sudden words that he lost consciousness for a moment.
"I……"
Before he could finish, Qin Mingzhu interrupted him: "I know you want me to wait for you to come back, but I don't want to wait. I want you to propose marriage now in front of everyone, so that everyone in the capital will know that you are my, Qin Mingzhu's, husband..."
Even though they had already given birth to a child, Qin Mingzhu felt that it would be best if there were no regrets between them.
She had enough regrets in her previous life. Now, she only looked at the present and didn't want to care about the future.
Yan Fengxiao opened his eyes slightly, and a hint of redness inexplicably appeared on his handsome face.
He sat with his back straight, and his face, which had originally remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, became extremely stiff and tense at this moment.
"only……"
Qin Mingzhu blinked: "You don't want to marry me?"
"no."
Yan Fengxiao denied it immediately.
"Then why hesitate?"
"I have to leave early tomorrow morning. If I hold a wedding banquet, the time is too tight and I won't be able to make it..."
Qin Mingzhu: “…”
She almost thought that Yan Fengxiao would refuse at the last moment.
Although she felt that she was not wrong about the man in front of her, in fact, although she said it was powerful, her heart was still pounding.
Nervous...how can I not be nervous?
Although she lived two lives, the total of the two lives was less than thirty years.
I have very little experience in love.
All her confidence at this moment came from the scene in her previous life when the man destroyed the Marquisate for her before her death...
She felt that she might really be important in his heart, so she decided not to be a coward anymore. If she wanted the man in front of her, she would go ahead and ask for him.
If he really looked down on her now, Qin Mingzhu wouldn't feel sorry for herself now, because she would only give her heart to someone once in her life, and the person would be Yan Fengxiao...
