Chapter 245: On the Past

"What happened in the palace?" When Li Changqing heard this, he immediately sat up straight and listened carefully.

"At that time, the Ye Mansion was shrouded in your mother's death, and the people in the entire mansion were sad and heartbroken, and when there was an accident in the palace, your mother had been dead for more than two days. Because the three of us beat your father, and then your grandfather locked him up, and was not released until the night of your mother's burial, ......, and then the three of us dug graves......"

Ye Qingyu paused when he said this, took another sip of tea, and sighed slightly. But Li Changqing keenly noticed that the second uncle's hand trembled slightly. Then I heard: "As for the palace, I heard that within two days of your mother's death, there was a great fire. The fire was strong, and it was from the Ronggui Hall of the Water Guifei. And in a side hall of the Queen Mother's Heart Palace, at the same time, she also walked the water, and I heard that the whole palace was in chaos at that time. ”

"Where was the emperor then? Were there any casualties in the palace? ”

"There will definitely be casualties, besides, Shui Yueying was the most favored concubine at the beginning, and in her Ronggui Palace, the palace people are the one with the most besides the queen. I heard that not only were there countless casualties, but in the end, even Concubine Shui was killed on the spot, and Concubine Ling Guifei, who was talking in her Ronggui Palace, was also missing. The emperor was furious and sealed the Ronggui Palace on the spot, and all the palace people who knew the truth were disposed of. Later, no one dared to mention the water walk. ”

"What about the Queen Mother? Why did the Queen Mother go hot? Li Changqing's eyebrows were thoughtful: Why did they go to the water at the same time? This is too strange.

"The Queen Mother's side is even tighter, even if it is an agent in the palace, I don't know, why did the Queen Mother go to the palace in the first place? But ......"

Ye Qingyu thought for a while, and then said again: "However, after that trip, the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother seems to have been bad, and even, sometimes, above the court, if those parties who have been following the queen mother propose something good to benefit the people of the court, the emperor seems to finally push around the bend secretly." ”

"Well, uncle thinks it has something to do with that water walk?" Li Changqing looked directly at his second uncle, looked at the flash of puzzlement in his eyes, and asked again.

"Well, I've discussed this kind of thing with your other two uncles before, and I haven't been able to find the reason, but the water should be the fuse. The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother has always been tepid, and after that time, the relationship between the two almost fell to the freezing point. Ye Qingyu said while thinking.

"But now I see that their relationship is very harmonious, the last time I entered the palace, the emperor also sent a rare scripture to the queen mother."

"It's been so long, even if there are some knots in my heart, dead knots, they will slowly disappear."

"The second uncle is right to say this, but I always feel that the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor is very strange, doesn't the second uncle think it?"

"What you said is that this is a taboo in the palace, we, the ministers, just know it in our hearts, if we get to the bottom of it, in the end, neither side will dare to offend." Ye Qingyu replied thoughtfully.

"The uncle just said that two days after my mother died, this happened in the palace. Dare to ask my uncle, how long did it take for my mother to be buried after she died? ”

"Well, it stands to reason that he has spent at least the first seven years at home, but your father doesn't know what's going on? And on the third day, you buried your mother. We were also by your grandfather until the third night for beating your father, but we didn't make it to your mother's funeral......"

"Then, my uncle discussed the matter with my uncle, and as a result, a prisoner named Nian Nu heard you talk about your mother's strange death, so he bluntly said that your mother was tricked by Gu, and then you dug a grave later......" Li Changqing said quickly, and then asked with his eyes.

"That's the case, but how does Qing'er know?" Ye Qingyu kept saying, almost didn't realize that what Qing'er said was what he was going to say next.

"I asked my uncle before, and he sued me. It's just that, uncle, you didn't track it down, why did your mother fall into the Gu later? ”

"Then things were completely complicated, after the three of us found out, we left Nian Nu, and did not kill her, but stole the beams and changed the pillars, and transferred her, but Nian Nu fell off the cliff, and the three of us personally looked for a long time under the cliff, and we never saw her figure, so she should be dead. However, then your grandfather had an accident, and he was devastated by the death of your mother, and then he developed epilepsy, and slowly began to become delirious.

And the emperor also took the opportunity to suppress the rights of our Guogong Mansion, and your grandfather has become a veritable idle Guogong from the beginning, but, even so, our Ye Guogong Mansion is all good men who stand up to the sky, and they have also contributed a lot to the country, the people love it, and the emperor does not dare to talk about us, even if he is an idle person, but your grandfather is still one of the three elders of the court, and on weekdays, he is also very prestigious. ”

"Uncle, I know that my grandfather is dedicated to the people, and the people love him, but after my grandfather's accident, haven't you checked it again? I remember my uncle saying that he would send Niannu back to his hometown. ”

Ye Qingyu was stunned and said, "Yes, we sent her back to her hometown first." Later, however, we went to her hometown to look for her for the sake of your mother, but we did not find her at her house, but on the way back we found her standing on the edge of the cliff, and before we could stop her and save her, we watched her fall off the cliff ....... ”

"Oh, I see." Li Changqing suddenly realized, if this is the case, then it makes sense.

"Is my mother's death a mystery until now?" Li Changqing clenched his palms and asked cautiously.

"Hmm. In the past few years, whenever we have caught those captives who know witchcraft, we will probably describe your mother's appearance to them, and then hope to find some clues. He sighed: "However, there is still nothing." ”

"Uncle-" When Li Changqing heard this, he only felt sad, if his mother was in the spirit of heaven and knew about this, would she feel gratified. In the end, there are still three brothers who redress her grievances and find a sunny day for her.

"Qing'er." Ye Qingyu got up, patted Li Changqing lightly a few times, and then said: "We have all looked for what we should be looking for, and we have also been to the Ling Mansion, since the disappearance of Ling Guifei, the lord of the Ling Mansion has resigned and returned to his hometown, and now, I heard that the people of the Ling Mansion are thin, and the Ling Mansion died of illness not long after he went back." Now the head of the family is a son who has inherited from a side branch, and it is considered to be withered. ”

Ye Qingyu's words undoubtedly dashed Li Changqing's last bit of hope, nodded blankly, and nodded at Ye Qingyu.

I remembered another important thing: "Li Changmou is not my own brother. ”

Ye Qingyu was shocked and asked back: "Qing'er, don't talk nonsense, how can the second son of the Li Mansion not be a long-term scheme?" ”

"Li Changmou is not my own brother, Li Changhong is my brother-in-law." When Li Changqing said this, he almost bit it out word by word, and it was extremely clear.
