Cining Palace.

When Yue Qingming came to Cining Palace with Ruyi and Jade, the Empress Dowager was discussing things with the grandmother beside her in the dormitory, and when she heard that she was coming, the unhappy look on her face was particularly obvious.

She originally wanted people to drive Yue Qingming out directly, but Yue Qingming and the speed of their walking was too fast, and before she could give the order, they had already come to the door of her dormitory, looking at her with a smile.

The Empress Dowager frowned: "There must be nothing good for you to come to the mourning family, the mourning family is very irritable now, and I don't have time to take care of you, you better go back quickly!" ”

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I came to see you on purpose for something serious, not to ask for trouble."

"Can you still have serious things to find a mourner? What a surprise, Queen Mother! ”

Yue Qingming squinted her eyes, she didn't intend to deal with the Empress Dowager's weird attitude, her only purpose here was to ask what she wanted to know, what the process was, she didn't care.

Yue Qingming looked at the Empress Dowager's appearance, seeing her indifferent attitude now, if she knew that someone wanted to harm her behind her back, I don't know how she would react.

Yue Qingming planned to deceive the Empress Dowager, after all, it would be difficult to succeed in dealing with someone like her without taking some special measures.

So Yue Qingming deliberately asked her: "Does the Empress Dowager know about the murderer who caused the murder in Cining Palace?" ”

The Empress Dowager frowned, looking at her suspiciously and vigilantly: "You mean, you know about the murderer?" ”

"A little bit, I think the Empress Dowager must want to know too, so I came here to exchange news with you."

"Heh," the Empress Dowager sneered: "The Mourning family is now under house arrest in Cining Palace and can't get out, do you think the Mourning family may have the news you need here?" It's ridiculous! ”

"Not the most recent, it's the previous one."

“……”

Yue Qingming looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile: "When the Empress Dowager was not the Empress Dowager before, she must have provoked a lot of people, and there must be some of them who want to take the opportunity to take revenge on you, right?" ”

"Smack-"

The Empress Dowager slammed the table and glared at Yue Qingming: "Yue Qingming, what do you mean by this?" Is it accusing the mourning family of bullying people before? ”

"I'm just stating the facts to the Empress Dowager, isn't the Empress Dowager still unable to see the situation in Cining Palace? Someone has come to take revenge on you, and now they are torturing you with the help of two burned unrecognizable subordinates in Cining Palace, making you feel scared, keeping you awake at night, and finally suffering torture all your life! ”

“…… You! ”

Yue Qingming's words were too direct, but the Empress Dowager couldn't say anything to refute for a while, she was indeed a bully when she was young, she didn't consider the consequences at that time, and did everything, but who would have thought that after so many years, someone would actually take revenge on herself!

She frowned, angry in her heart, but finally sat down, taking a deep breath to calm her breathing.

Yue Qingming secretly rejoiced, these words were made up by himself temporarily, but this is also possible, looking at the empress dowager's current weak heart, she must have done a lot of bad things before, she must be afraid!

"The Empress Dowager, I told you everything, now that you tell me about you, among those people you remember, who is most likely to retaliate against you?"

“……”

The Empress Dowager frowned, it was not that she didn't tell Yue Qingming, but that those things in the past had passed too long, and it was difficult for her to recall them all, and besides, at her age now, where could she remember so many things!

The grandmother next to her was also helping to recall, but it was at least a few decades ago, so how easy is it to think about?

Yue Qingming looked at the way they tried to recall, and couldn't help but think of Dong Xi, now is the best time to confirm whether Dong Xi is suspicious, if the Empress Dowager doesn't know him, he has no reason to kill people here.

So Yue Qingming reminded her: "I don't know if the Empress Dowager remembers a man named Dong Xi, who is probably similar in age to the Empress Dowager." ”

Originally, the Empress Dowager was still trying to remember who "Dong Xi" was, but when she heard that it was a man of similar age to the Empress Dowager, her eyes instantly widened, and she looked at Yue Qingming in disbelief.

Yue Qingming suddenly had a very ominous premonition, looking at the Empress Dowager's eyes, this matter may really be related to Dong Xi.

"It's him......" The Empress Dowager lowered her head, frowned, and then quickly shook her head: "Impossible, he is dead!" He is already dead, how can he still be alive in this world! ”

"Empress Dowager, do you mean Dong Xi?"

"Yes, it's him, he should have died a long time ago, it's impossible to be alive!"

“……”

Damn, things are getting more and more complicated, Dong Xi, Dong Xi, what are you from, should the matter of Cining Palace really be done by you!

When Yue Qingming got up and was about to leave, the Empress Dowager also got up quickly, and then blocked her way in front of Yue Qingming: "How did you know about Dong Xi's affairs?" Did the Queen Mother tell you? ”

“…… No. ”

"So how do you know? That was decades ago, and you can't know that at your age! Even Jiang Qiancheng didn't know what happened back then! ”

"......" Yue Qingming took a deep breath, and then asked her: "Empress Dowager, are you sure that Dong Xi is really dead?" ”

"The mourning family is very sure, no one can survive in such a fire!"

Yue Qingming suddenly remembered that when she asked the Queen Mother why Dong Xi always wore a mask, the Queen Mother's answer at that time was that his face was burned by the fire, which was very serious and looked particularly terrifying.

In this way, the matter about Dong Xi was connected, it was the Empress Dowager who caused Dong Xi to be burned, although she was lucky to survive the fire, but she had such a terrifying face, and she could no longer see people with her true face.

Yue Qingming sighed, if this is the case, then it is very likely that Dong Xi will retaliate against the Empress Dowager, and with his ability, it is easy to kill the Empress Dowager, but I don't know where he is now.

"Empress Dowager, pay more attention to yourself."

"What do you mean, make it clear!"

Yue Qingming looked at her and replied word by word: "Dong Xi is still alive, I'm pretty sure." ”

“……”
