Su Qiubai knew that she didn't believe it, and she didn't explain much, so she smiled faintly.

"You will often walk around this capital in the future, and you will know it slowly. What kind of weight does the name of Qi Yi have, one day you will understand. ”

Ambiguity?

The corners of Shangguan Li's mouth twitched, this mother's name is a bit arbitrary.

"When your mother saved the emperor in the western suburbs, she was seriously injured, and the emperor originally wanted your mother to be raised in the Taiqing Pond in the palace."

"As a result, your mother refused, and she must come back. Now that I think about it, if she doesn't come back, maybe she won't be killed. ”

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?"

Shangguan Li frowned, and heard the meaning of Su Qiu's vernacular.

"Is there still someone in the house who wants to harm my mother?"

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

"Auntie!"

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

"I'm different from before now, even if there's no way to do anything, it's definitely okay to protect myself, auntie, you've said it all here, it's about the cause of my mother's death, can Li'er still pretend not to hear and reveal the matter?"

These words made Su Qiubai make up her mind, and she poured another cup of tea for the two of them, and then said slowly.

"Originally, my aunt planned to take advantage of your return this time to tell you about it, but I didn't expect you to come to me so soon."

"Let's talk about it first, Li'er."

Su Qiubai's expression suddenly became serious, and a pair of soft apricot blossom eyes actually flashed with a firm light that seemed to be able 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 and you will have nothing to say."

"Auntie don't worry."

After getting the answer he wanted, Su Qiubai spoke.

Outside the window, the clouds on the horizon gradually dyed with the rosewood of the morning sun, and the world was clear.

Inside the house, Su Qiubai's voice brought out the coldness of the old age.

Back then, Qi Yi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to recuperate after refusing the emperor's kindness, and Shangguan Xun arranged for her to be further south in Luyuan, where Shangguan Li lived before being driven to the dilapidated house in the back mountain.

Qi Yi's injuries were very serious, and he hurt his bones, and there should have been no chance of survival.

But Qi Yi has a good physique, and the tenacity of her will is very incomparable, she actually survived the most difficult treatment period and gradually began to recover.

However, just as she was getting better day by day, she stumbled and fell into the lake, which happened to be winter and the lake was cold.

Even though she had managed to get up from the water, she still contracted the wind cold, which worsened her injuries, and finally she couldn't wait for the spring flowers to bloom.

Shangguan Li listened quietly, and when she saw Su Qiubai stopping, she asked lightly.

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

A sad look appeared on Su Qiubai's face.

"At that time, Ah Yan often went to the lake near Lingshui Pavilion to play, and your mother came to remind me. It is said that the lake is slippery, and the weather is not cold enough to freeze the lake, and if you accidentally fall down, you may not be able to save your life. Tell Ah Yan not to come close. ”

"How dangerous the lake is, your mother knows it much better than others, how could she not fall by herself?"

The corner of Shangguan Li's heart was a little heavy, but she still tried to stay calm.

"If my mother walks around there, it ...... true."

"Auntie knows what you want to say."

Su Qiubai interrupted her.

"But on that day, I originally asked your mother to sew new clothes for Ah Yan and you for spring."

As soon as Su Qiubai's words came out, the half-upper stone in Shangguan Li's heart finally sank, smashing out a pit that was not too big or small.

Ashiin and Akifuin can be said to be opposite doors, but there is an atrium and a corridor in the middle.

Therefore, if Qi Yi wanted to go to the Autumn Wind Courtyard, she shouldn't go around in such a big circle to go to the lake next to the Lingshui Pavilion, unless, she went to that neighborhood for something, or someone called her over.

"And after that?"

"After what?"

Su Qiubai subconsciously looked at Shangguan Li, her expression was very calm, only in the depths of her shallow eyes was hidden a cold fire that she might not have noticed herself, scorching, but chilling.

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

The woman who is smart and beautiful, angry but extremely scary.

Shangguan Li saw that Su Qiubai looked at him blankly and didn't speak, so he had to add another sentence.

"I mean, what happened after my mother left."

"After leaving...... There was a sudden epidemic in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and many people died. ”

"The epidemic? Is it the whole of the capital, or is it only a time epidemic that exists in the prime minister's house. ”

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

"There should only be the Prime Minister's ......"

In the middle of her words, her eyes suddenly widened.

"However, at that time, the imperial doctor also came to the palace, saying that it was indeed an epidemic, and there could be no mistake!"

In the palace?

Does the palace have to be clean? Shangguan Li evoked a sneer, Shangguan Xun can also hook up with King Shangyu, so as to hook up with Concubine Rong in the palace.

Who can guarantee that the imperial doctor 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 watch, Shangguan Li would rush into the palace in the next second to find the emperor to explain.

Shangguan Li knew what she was worried about, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"What stupid things can I do, it's all just speculation, there is no suspect and no evidence, what can I do stupidly?"

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

"It's best if you think like this, remember, you have to protect yourself first in everything, that's what your mother wants to see."

"Got it, thank you Aunt Su, I'm willing to tell Li'er this."

She quietly changed her name.

Su Qiubai's eyes were suddenly full of emotion when she looked at Shangguan Li, and finally she stretched out her hand and gently hugged Shangguan Li across the tea table.

"Child, seeing you like this now, I am really relieved, be careful in everything."

Shangguan Li hesitated, but still stretched out his hands and hugged her back.

"I will."

A moment later, before the morning light completely descended on the earth, Shangguan Li quietly left the Autumn Wind Courtyard.

The amount of information gained on this trip is very large, and there are all kinds of past, which seems to have nothing to do with today's events, but Shangguan Li has a faint feeling.

Regarding the original mother's Qiyi, about the epidemic that only existed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the darkness that was left in the corner of memory by everyone did not slowly disappear with the passage of time, but grew stronger and stronger.
