Chapter 132 The Real Cause of Death in Her Previous Life
If possible, Shen Nanzhi never wants to see this person in her life.
But now that it has come, we should face it.
The only ones who knew Xiao Chuyun's true identity were Fang Hongyi and a few core figures of Prince Ning's party. Now they have all been killed. In theory, Xiao Chuyun should be safe.
But before that, in order to restrain Xiao Chuyun, Fang Hongyi revealed some of Xiao Yanchu's whereabouts to Xiao Qian'an, hoping to use Xiao Qian'an's hand to trap Xiao Chuyun for a while so that he could find an opportunity to kill Shen Nanzhi.
Although the ending was not what he wished, Xiao Qian'an was so smart and he still had the memories of his past life. Even if he could not guess that Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Yanchu were the same person for the time being, he might suspect that Xiao Chuyun was involved with Prince Ning's party.
Moreover, he sent people to follow Qin Suyi all the way to Linjiang Tower, and it is very likely that he has already learned from Qin Suyi that the person trapped in Linjiang Tower was Shen Nanzhi.
Xiao Chuyun had greeted Shen Changan before and asked him to go to the dense forest to pick up Shen Nanzhi.
Judging from Shen Changan's reaction, if he couldn't meet Shen Nanzhi, he would definitely find other excuses and would never leak these things to Xiao Qian'an, but he was afraid that Xiao Qian'an would connect the whole thing.
Shen Nanzhi has been seriously injured and has been at home refusing to see visitors for several days.
The reason Xiao Qian'an came to visit at this time was most likely to confirm whether Shen Nanzhi was there.
If she refused to show up for a long time, Xiao Qian would be certain that she was the one who was abducted to Linjiang Tower.
That will only cause endless trouble.
So Shen Nanzhi didn't think much about it. She asked Qiuyu to tidy up her clothes and hair, and then walked to the front hall.
Before he got close, Shen Nanzhi heard Shen Changan's voice.
He just returned home.
Although he also accepted Xiao Chuyun as his brother-in-law, Shen Changan had a bad face when he thought of Shen Nanzhi and Xie Changyuan who had been interfered with. When he saw Xiao Qian'an, Shen Changan now had a bad face.
"My sister is not feeling well and cannot stand the wind. She has been recuperating in her room recently. If Your Highness the Seventh Prince has anything to say, please let me know and do it for you."
Shen Changan clasped his fists in a rare serious manner, and added with some displeasure: "But I think it shouldn't be a big deal for the Seventh Prince to look for my sister. She is already engaged to the prince, so the Seventh Prince should avoid suspicion."
It was rare for Xiao Qian'an to be embarrassed in public like this.
But the other party was Shen Changan, a man who was not afraid to speak or fight, and he was also the only legitimate grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo. Even if he couldn't save face, he had to be tolerant.
"Young Master Shen, you are joking. I am here for serious business. In order to protect Miss Shen's reputation, I will not publicize it. I will only summon Miss Shen privately to ask her a few questions."
Hearing this, Shen Changan became even more unwilling.
He frowned and was about to chase him away, but Shen Nanzhi, who happened to arrive, walked out of the crescent-shaped archway and called out softly, "Cousin Changan."
As soon as Shen Nanzhi appeared, everyone's eyes were on her.
Shen Changan was still young and energetic after all, and even though he was trying to restrain himself, the joy in his eyes was still obvious at that moment.
Fortunately, everyone else was looking at Shen Nanzhi, and no one noticed his obvious change in expression.
When everyone came back to their senses, Shen Changan had already regained his composure and raised his hand to greet them, "Zhizhi, you are still sick, why are you here to join in the fun? If you catch a cold, how can your body, which has just recovered, withstand it?"
Shen Nanzhi smiled at him and said, "Cousin Changan, it's okay. I'm much better now."
Having said that, Shen Nanzhi turned around and looked at Xiao Qian'an, who had been looking at her with a sullen face and frowning since she appeared.
After not seeing each other for half a month, Xiao Qian'an looked much more haggard.
Today he was wearing a wide dark brocade robe and a golden crown on his head. He was still dignified and graceful, but his original high-spirited state was long gone. He frowned, and his deep eyes stared at Shen Nanzhi, and no one knew what he was thinking.
That look made Shen Nanzhi feel uncomfortable all over.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qian'an, and said coldly: "I wonder what the Seventh Prince wants to ask me?"
Xiao Qian'an's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Shen Nanzhi: "Are you sure you want to say this here?"
In addition to Xiao Qian'an's men, there were Shen Chang'an and his followers, as well as a few maids serving tea.
Shen Nanzhi smiled slightly and said, "I don't think that there is anything between the Seventh Prince and I that needs to be avoided and can only be discussed in private."
She looked calm and spoke with a smile, but it was just these light words, coupled with the bright smile in her eyes at this moment, that stung Xiao Qian'an's eyes.
Shen Nanzhi's questioning almost left him speechless. After a moment of silence, Xiao Qianan finally spoke: "Nothing, I just heard that Miss Shen has been seriously ill for some time, so I wanted to come and visit her."
At this point, he paused and continued, "It just so happened that among the rebels I was investigating, someone abducted and sold girls, and one of them looked somewhat similar to Miss Shen. Out of concern, I wanted to come and take a look."
He still had doubts.
These words were obviously a test.
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "The Seventh Prince's eyesight is obviously not good. There are so many people with similar looks in this world. Not to mention distant ones, even my cousin from the Jiang family looks a bit like me. But the prince thought of me directly. As soon as he came, he warned me in public that my cousin Chang'an's reputation should not be publicized. Is the prince afraid that this basin of dirty water will not be thrown on my head?"
Although Shen Nanzhi was smiling when he said this, his tone was questioning and sharp.
Of course, she deliberately mentioned Jiang Yanran in order to observe Xiao Qian'an's reaction.
As expected, Xiao Qian'an had no reaction to this name or the person she suddenly mentioned.
When she thought about how he had indulged and protected her in her previous life, as if he was holding her at the top of his heart, and now he doesn't care about her even though she is of no help to him, Shen Nanzhi felt that it was obvious that Xiao Qian'an didn't really like Jiang Yanran.
All he cared about from beginning to end was himself, his power, his fame and prestige.
Hearing Shen Nanzhi's words, Xiao Qi'an panicked for the first time and quickly explained, "That's not the case. Miss Shen is worrying too much."
However, so many people were listening to what he just said, and in the face of facts, his words seemed particularly pale and powerless.
But he did not explain too much, and suddenly changed the subject, "I heard that Lord Jiang's new concubine Qin died of illness. When we came here just now, we saw two servants carrying her body wrapped in straw mats out from the back door. It's sad that such a beautiful woman ended up like this. I heard that she had a good relationship with Miss Shen before, and I wanted to come and comfort Miss Shen."
Qin Suyi is dead.
In the previous life, the concubine who was favored by all six palaces and was so arrogant that she brought disaster to the country ended her life like this.
Shen Nanzhi did feel a little sad when he heard this, but he was not surprised.
Since Xiao Chuyun wanted to erase all traces of Xiao Yanchu's existence, then Qin Suyi, as an insider and someone who had been targeted by Xiao Qi'an, would naturally die without a doubt.
She wanted to kill Shen Nanzhi, and Shen Nanzhi certainly would not be the slightest bit soft-hearted towards her.
She was sighing for herself.
It is undeniable that it was Xiao Qian'an and Jiang Yanran who caused her to end up like that in her previous life, but in the end it was Fang Hongyi, Qin Suyi and others who directly plotted her death and trapped her in the imperial mausoleum.
Before, Shen Nanzhi couldn't understand why Jiang Yanran, who had humiliated her to such an extent, would have easily killed her, but had to go to such great lengths to send her to the palace to replace the concubines who were buried alive with the emperor, and buried her in the imperial mausoleum.
Now she knows.
At that time, Jiang Yanran must have been caught in a weak spot by Qin Suyi and others, and cooperated with them to kill Shen Nanzhi in this way.
They were plotting against Shen Nanzhi, but their target was Xiao Chuyun.
Only in this way can Xiao Chuyun be completely enraged and made to become Xiao Yanchu at all costs.
She raised an army in rebellion, stormed into the palace, and killed all those in high positions who had harmed her, in order to avenge her.
Only in this way can we break into the imperial tomb and let her pass away.
Even though Xiao Chuyun knew at that time that Fang Hongyi and Qin Suyi were involved in the plot, it was also true that Xiao Qian'an and Jiang Yanran were plotting to murder Shen Nanzhi.
Hatred blinded Xiao Chuyun's eyes and made him willing to become a tool for revenge.
In this life, because of Shen Nanzhi's choice, Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun got engaged by accident, and their relationship was getting better and better. Fang Hongyi and Qin Suyi, who had been unable to persuade Xiao Chuyun, could only take action against Shen Nanzhi, wanting to cut off Xiao Chuyun's ties and weaknesses and force him to become Xiao Yanchu again.
Now Jiang Yanran has been completely ruined and is missing, Fang Hongyi is dead, Qin Suyi is also dead, and except for Xiao Qian'an in front of him, the few people who were related to Shen Nanzhi's life and death in the previous life will no longer cause trouble to Shen Nanzhi.
She also rewrote her own ending in her previous life.
That's why Shen Nanzhi sighed so much.
But she didn't want Xiao Qian to see her true emotions, so she just said coldly: "Your Highness is wrong, she is just a concubine of Lord Jiang, she came to visit me before, and we only met once, that's all, there is no need for Your Highness to comfort her."
Xiao Qian'an's gaze was like substance. He stared at Shen Nanzhi for a moment before saying, "So that's how it is. I was worrying too much."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Shen Changan who was looking unhappy next to him: "Since it is a misunderstanding, I am sorry to bother Miss Shen and Young Master."
With that, he nodded and turned to leave.
He still behaves in that sanctimonious manner, seemingly gentle and generous, but in fact cold-blooded and ruthless.
After he turned around, Shen Nanzhi and Shen Changan looked at each other tacitly, and then rolled their eyes.
After sending away the annoying people, Shen Changan asked everyone to leave, then pulled Shen Nanzhi into the front hall.
"Zhizhi, what's going on? Where have you been these days? Everyone is so worried!"
Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and said, "It's a long story. Anyway, I'm fine now, don't worry, cousin."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Shen Changan didn't want to continue asking. However, thinking of everything that happened before, Shen Changan couldn't help but continue: "By the way, a masked man gave me your token and asked me to rush over to that dense forest. What's going on? I rushed over in a hurry, but didn't see anyone at all. Could it be that I was tricked?"
As he spoke, Shen Changan opened his palm towards Shen Nanzhi, "Is it yours?"
Lying in his palm was a red coral earring, small and exquisite, with a gold thread edging it. It was one of the pair of red coral earrings that Shen Nanzhi wore every day.
On the day she was abducted during a ritual at the Shen family, she used a plum blossom hairpin to cut through the secret compartment and quietly threw it out. She originally wanted to leave a clue for the secret guards so that they could find her whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun had already discovered her secret and picked it up by him.
Shen Changan only has one, and it is unknown whether the other one was not picked up or is with Xiao Chuyun.
Shen Nanzhi took it and said, "It is indeed mine. This matter is quite complicated to explain. I will talk to my cousin in detail when I have the chance."
Hearing this, Shen Changan nodded, "As long as you are okay."
As for the things that Shen Nanzhi didn't want to mention, he didn't ask any more questions. Even though he had been searching day and night with his secret guards to track down Shen Nanzhi's whereabouts, from the city to Xiangguo Temple, and then expanding to the suburbs outside the city, let alone having a good meal, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
But all the hard work and fatigue disappeared the moment he saw Shen Nanzhi was safe and sound.
As long as Shen Nanzhi is fine, that's better than anything else.
Shen Nanzhi put away the red coral earrings, then looked at Shen Changan curiously and said, "Cousin Changan, you went to the dense forest before and met Xiao Qian'an? What did you say?"
Shen Changan gulped down several cups of hot tea, and after soothing his throat which was almost smoking, he said, "Well! What else can I say? I didn't see you, and I was afraid that I was being used by someone, so of course I didn't dare to say anything. I just said that I was going there to hunt wild rabbits on the way. Even if he didn't believe me, what else could I do?"
This is the only excuse Shen Changan could come up with.
Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Shen Changan heaved a sigh of relief: "You don't know, that crazy girl kept talking about coming to see you. She was even more worried when she heard that you were not feeling well and closed the door to visitors. I couldn't tell her the truth, and my ears were almost callused by the people she sent to pass on her messages."
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi felt warm in the heart, and couldn't help but joked: "Thank you for covering for me, cousin. I guess you haven't had time to see Sister Jingya these days? Now that you have time, why not go over and take a look?"
Shen Changan had this plan in mind, and after Shen Nanzhi mentioned it, he could no longer sit still. He nodded and agreed, "I see that you look much better. We should tell her that you are feeling better, so she won't worry."
Shen Changan is a man of action.
Just go.
When Shen Nanzhi saw that he looked like he wanted to ride on Hot Wheels, she suddenly thought of Xiao Chuyun.
When he came to her house to find her, was he also full of excitement and anticipation?
And those reluctant words he said before he left, when Shen Nanzhi recalled them again, still made her heart warm.
Judging from the time, he should already be on the official road outside the city leading to the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
Shen Nanzhi was about to go to her aunt's yard to pay her respects. She was lost in thought when she saw a dark shadow flash on the opposite eaves. In the blink of an eye, Mo Yun, with an anxious look on his face, appeared in front of her and knelt down.
