When she heard this, she immediately opened her eyes wide: "What's the matter? Ask quickly!"

I said, "Liu Shizhou."

When she heard this name, her expression immediately became a little dazed. She seemed to suddenly think of something, but she looked at me in a daze.

I said, "Do you still remember this person? Liu Shizhou."

“…”

She did not answer me, but looked at me blankly for a long time. I knew that her situation was special and was no different from ordinary people, and I was not in a hurry to urge her. After a while, she slowly said, "I don't remember."

I said, "Why don't you remember it? Didn't you remember it when I talked about this person that day?"

“…”

"If you lied to me, San'er won't come back to see you."

After hearing what I said, a panic appeared on her face immediately. She was obviously scared. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "But, but, he said, I don't remember."

He must be the elder of Yao.

Lao Yao must have been wary of me assaulting her, so he told her all the time.

I tried to smile kindly and said softly: "He said you don't remember, then do you remember?"

“…”

"Then, San'er told me. If you answered well, he would be able to come back to visit you earlier; if you clearly remember but said you didn't, then I told him that he would be angry."

When Queen Yin heard me say this, she suddenly became restless, sweating all over her nose, and said hurriedly: "Wait, wait until I think about it again, I want my son to come back to see me!"

"Okay, think about it again."

As I said, I slowly picked up the teapot on the table and poured her a cup of tea and put it on my hand. The corner of my eyes subconsciously looked out the door. I calculated the time. Yao Lao wanted to go over to ask Qingchen for his pulse, and also took care of him taking medicine. It would take some time. I hope that during this period, Queen Yin could remember as much as possible.

After a while, she finally slowly raised her head and looked at me, her eyes flashing, and I smiled and said, "Auntie, have you remembered something?"

"..." She swallowed and said, "Liu Shizhou..."

"Yes, Liu Shizhou."

Speaking of this, I became a little nervous. Although there was no urgent expression on my face, the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but exert force, and my palms were covered with cold sweat.

The next moment, I heard a name that surprised me the most—

"Zhu Huaiyin..."

My eyes suddenly widened.

I thought I had heard it wrong, but I clearly said these three words from Queen Yin’s mouth.

Zhu Huaiyin, my mother’s name!?

For a moment, my mind was blank and my reaction was gone. After a while, I asked, "You said, Zhu Huaiyin? What's wrong?"

Perhaps my anxious look scared her a little. Queen Yin subconsciously stepped back a little, but I grabbed her wrist and asked, "Zhu Huaiyin, what's wrong with her?"

Queen Yin looked at me blankly, her eyes flashing constantly, and her voice was filled with a hint of timidity: "Liu Shizhou, he, he has been to Xichuan, and he has-"

"What's there?"

“Yes, there is a picture…”

"What picture?!"

I was so nervous that I even forgot to breathe, and I couldn't control my hands. Queen Yin was forced to sit down by me and staggered to get up and leave, but I just grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, asking anxiously: "What picture? What picture is it? What does it have to do with Zhu Huaiyin?"

Queen Yin was completely scared to me, and she waved her hand in panic: "I don't know, I, I don't remember."

"You must remember, tell me!"

"I don't remember..."

As she said, her whole body shrank into a ball, looking cowardly like a frightened little animal. I calmed down a little and realized that it was really pushing her too fast. If she was really pushing her in such a situation, she would probably go crazy.

I hurriedly let go of her hand and said, "Okay, I won't force you, don't be afraid."

She shrugged her shoulders and looked at me with a pale face as if she was pale, her eyes full of helplessness. Judging from her appearance, she probably only remembered so much. I took a breath and said, "Okay, you can answer me another question."

She looked at me and didn't speak.

I asked, "Who ordered Liu Shizhou to be killed."

“…”

"Do you remember?"

“…”

"Who killed him? Do you know who gave the order?"

When she heard this question, Queen Yin did not respond immediately, but I saw her eyes flashing even more violently. The question seemed to be a needle that pierced into her chest. The faint pain made her unable to breathe. She looked at me with wide eyes, unable to say a word.

I asked, "Who ordered Liu Shizhou to be killed? Tell me!"

At this moment, Lao Yao walked in from outside. When he walked to the door, he saw me and rushed in immediately: "What are you doing?!"

Empress Yin and I were both shocked. When Empress Yin saw that it was him, she hurriedly got up and walked over, and grabbed his sleeve: "You are back."

Lao Yao held her hand with his back.

Queen Yin said in a panic: "She, she came to ask me, she said, if I answered her, my son would come to see me, I don't know what to say, I--"

Lao Yao looked at her and then at me, and his face became ugly: "Miss Yan, if you ask a lunatic like this, it will be bad if it spreads!"

“…”

I knew I was in a disadvantage, so I couldn't say anything, so I just stood up and said: "Old Yao..."

"She is already crazy, she doesn't remember anything, and she admits things. Can you really believe what she says?"

"But, she just said-"

"No matter what she said just now, it's all crazy words. Miss Yan, you shouldn't ask, let alone listen!"

I looked at Yao Lao Tieqing's face and couldn't speak for a moment.

He didn't even care what I asked, and completely denied everything.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that he is completely unwilling to face the things that Empress Yin said, or even unwilling to recall.

I stood by the table and looked at him for a while. Queen Yin probably felt that the "backer" had come, and the person relaxed a little, but still stood behind him and stopped moving. I felt embarrassed. After a long time, I said softly: "I'm disturbing."

He immediately took Queen Yin and retreated aside and gave the door to me.

I slowly walked out of them and walked out of the door. I was still a little nervous. When I turned around, I saw Lao Yao holding both sides of Queen Yin's shoulders and said firmly: "You don't remember anything anymore. No matter who comes to ask you, you just need to say you don't know. You didn't remember it at all, don't know, do you understand?"

Empress Yin had a pale face and nodded gently like an ignorant child.

However, after nodding, she asked again, "Where is my son? Will he come back to see me?"

When Yao Lao heard her ask, he didn't say anything, but his eyes were obviously a little red.

I also felt a little sad. In fact, I know it is not good to deceive a foolish person like this, but that matter is really important to me. Now that Yao Lao is so angry, it is hard to say anything. I will apologize after a while when he gets angry.

Thinking of this, I sighed heavily and turned around and left.

Although I just asked about something from Queen Yin, it did not make me feel more relaxed. When I left, my steps became heavier.

Liu Shizhou... and my mother...

I never thought about the connection between these two people. Although I had known for a long time that Liu Shizhou took his children to Xishan Academy to attend Fu Badai's erudition conference and met his mother. Uncle Ai also said that his mother once gave him some silver as a funding, and even Liu Li's name was given to her by her mother.

But that's all.

It was the most common encounter and understanding between a poor and poor scholar and a rich wife who had some knowledge and was not willing to be mediocre. After that, their life trajectory was completely separated.

Liu Shizhou passed the imperial examination and entered the official career, becoming a parent official in Yangzhou, and then was assassinated.

And her mother, she was expelled from the Yan family and was taken to the foot of the West Mountain for those years...

There were so many pictures flashing through my mind for a moment, all of which were sour and sweet in my memories. I had given me gentle and comforting memories countless times on lonely nights.

However, I have never heard my mother mention Liu Shizhou or about this person and him.

But now, Empress Yin suddenly mentioned the two of them together. Liu Shizhou and my mother, could they say that besides meeting Xishan Academy, and in addition to funding and being funded, what other relationships do they have?

Moreover, she seemed to have said just now that there was a picture on Liu Shizhou.

What picture?

There is a picture on Liu Shizhou's body, and even Empress Yin knows this picture.

Could it be, what is important?

Could it be that when he arrived in Xichuan, he met his mother and had a secret agreement between the two of them. Then, he took away a picture, and that picture caused him a murderous disaster?

Thinking of this, my steps suddenly stopped, my chest was pounding, and my heart was about to jump out.

Is this really the case?

So before, Pei Yuanhao said that there was something wrong with Liu Shizhou's death. He was originally a clean official and should not be among the assassination of those people, but he was killed by them, not because he deserved to die, but because of the guilt of possessing a treasure?

Then, what about Liu Yi's death?

It's also because of this?

I suddenly felt my head swelling twice as big as I was drowsy. Seeing the road under my feet shaking, I staggered to the side to hold a tree before barely supporting myself.

However, my heart beats not like my own.

I felt like I had encountered some mysterious box, which was sealed with monsters and monsters. It was originally supposed to be opened, but because I opened it accidentally, I released everything inside.

Maybe, this kind of thing shouldn't come out.
