Chapter 44 The story of nine years ago

Su Qiubai knew that she didn't believe it when she saw Shangguan Li's expression, and she didn't explain much, and smiled faintly.

"If you often walk around this capital in the future, you will naturally know slowly. What is the weight of the name of Qiyi? One day you will understand."

Consistent, ambiguity?

Shangguan Li twitched, and the name of this mother was a bit casual.

"Your mother was seriously injured when she rescued the emperor in the western suburbs. Originally, the emperor wanted your mother to raise her in the Taiqing Pond in the palace."

"As a result, your mother refused and she must come back. Now she thinks, if she doesn't come back, she might not have died."

"What does Aunt mean?"

Shangguan Li frowned and heard Su Qiu's meaning beyond the vernacular language.

"Is there anyone in the mansion who wants to harm my mother?"

Su Qiubai was silent, her fingers unconsciously sliding back and forth at the corner of the table, which was her hesitation.

"Auntie!"

Shangguan Li's tone couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

"I am different now than before. Even if I can't do anything, there is definitely no problem in protecting myself. Aunt, you have said this. It is related to the cause of my mother's death. Can Li'er still pretend that she didn't hear me and expose this matter?"

These words made Su Qiubai make up her mind. She poured another cup of tea for the two of them before slowly saying.

"I originally planned to tell you about this while you came back this time, but I didn't expect Li'er, you will come to me so soon."

"Speak first, Li'er."

Su Qiubai's expression suddenly became serious, and her soft apricot blossom eyes flashed with a firm light that seemed to reach people's hearts.

"No matter what you think after hearing it, you must think calmly first. If you can't do it, your aunt will have nothing to say to you."

"Don't worry, aunt."

After getting the desired answer, Su Qiubai spoke.

Outside the window, the clouds in the sky gradually dyed the rosy color of the rising sun, and the world is bright.

In the house, Su Qiubai's gentle voice brought out the coldness of the old one.

Back then, Qi Yi refused the emperor's kindness and returned to the prime minister's house to recuperate. Shangguan Xun arranged her to the Luyuan further south, which was where Shangguan Li lived before he was driven to the broken house in the back mountain.

Qi Yi's injury was very serious, and the roots and bones were damaged. It should have been impossible to survive.

However, Qi Yi has good physical fitness and strong will, and she is very strong, so she has survived the most difficult treatment period and gradually began to recover.

However, just as her body was getting better day by day, she fell into the lake. It was winter and the lake was cold.

Even though she had already climbed up from the water, she was still infected with the cold, causing the injury to worsen and she was unable to wait for the spring to bloom.

Shangguan Li listened quietly, and when Su Qiubai stopped, she asked faintly.

"My aunt said that when my mother fell into the water, someone planned it."

Su Qiu's face showed sadness.

"Ah Yan often went to the lake near Lingshui Pavilion to play at that time, and your mother came to remind me specifically. She said that the lake was wet and slippery, and the weather was not so cold that the lake surface was frozen. If it fell accidentally, it would be difficult to save your life. Tell A Yan not to get close."

"How dangerous is it by the lake? Your mother is much clearer than others. How could she not fall down by herself?"

Shangguan Li's heart was a little heavy, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

"If my mother walked around there, it was indeed..."

"My aunt knows what you want to say."

Su Qiubai interrupted her.

"But that day, I originally asked your mother to sew new clothes for Ayan and you in the spring."

As soon as Su Qiubai said this, the stone in Shangguan Li's heart that was half up and could not be lowered finally sank, smashing a small pit.

The Luyuan and Qiufengyuan can be said to be opposite the door, but the atrium and corridor are separated by the middle.

So if Qi Yi wanted to go to Qiufengyuan, he shouldn't go around such a big circle to the lake next to Lingshui Pavilion, unless she had something to go there, or someone called her over.

"What after that?"

"What after?"

Su Qiubai subconsciously looked at Shangguan Li. Her expression was very calm, but there was a cold fire hidden deep in her shallow eyes that she might not even notice. It was burning, but also made people feel cold.

Su Qiubai had never seen such a look on Shangguan Li before, and the person sitting in front of him seemed to have become unison in a trance.

That smart and beautiful woman who is angry but is particularly scary.

Seeing Su Qiubai staring at her without saying anything, Shangguan Li had to add another sentence, "I mean, what happened after my mother left."

"After leaving... there was a sudden outbreak in the prime minister's mansion, and many people died."

"Shizophrenia? Is it a time epidemic that exists in the entire capital or only in the prime minister's mansion?"

Su Qiubai was a little overwhelmed by Shangguan Li's repeated questions and said subconsciously.

"It should be only the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Halfway through her words, her eyes suddenly widened.

"But, an imperial physician also came to the palace at that time, saying that it was indeed an epidemic, and there was no mistake!"

In the palace?

Is the palace clean? Shangguan Li sneered, and Shangguan Xun could still hook up with King Yu, so as to join the palace with Concubine Rong.

Who can guarantee that the imperial physician who came out of the palace is innocent?

"Li'er, you don't want to do anything stupid, do you?"

Su Qiubai looked at her with a worried face, as if if she didn't look at her, Shangguan Li would rush into the palace to find the emperor to explain the matter in the next second.

Shangguan Li knew what she was worried about and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"What stupid things can I do, it's just speculation. There is no suspect or evidence. What's the stupid thing I do?"

Hearing this, Su Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"It's best if you can think like this. Remember to protect yourself first in everything. This is what your mother wants to see."

"I understand, thank you Aunt Su, for being willing to tell Li'er this."

She quietly changed her name.

Su Qiubai's eyes were immediately moved when she looked at Shangguan Li. Finally, she reached out and gently hugged Shangguan Li through the tea table.

"Child, I'm really relieved to see you like this now, and be careful in everything."

Shangguan Li hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her hands and hugged her back.

"I will."

A moment later, before the dawn completely fell on the earth, Shangguan Li quietly left Qiufengyuan.

This trip received a lot of information, and all the past seems to have nothing to do with today's affairs, but Shangguan Li has a vague feeling.

Regarding the mother of the original body, the epidemic that only exists in the prime minister's residence, the darkness left by everyone in the corner of memory did not slowly disappear with time, but instead grew stronger and stronger.
