The Empress Dowager's funeral was held as scheduled, and Yue Qingming asked the Empress Dowager to help take care of the rest of the matters on the grounds of physical discomfort, while she hid in the Chuxiu Palace and did not go out.

Regarding Dong Xi's matter, Yue Qingming didn't mention it to the rest of the people, she knew that in this situation, it would not be beneficial for all of them to rashly mention Dong Xi's killing of the Empress Dowager, it was better to let this matter pass like this, and never be mentioned again, anyway, Dong Xi would not come back here.

Jade has always been by Yue Qingming's side, Ruyi Hu didn't know, and was arranged by Yue Qingming to go to the Queen Mother's Qiankun Palace to help deal with the Queen Mother's funeral.

Jade saw that Yue Qingming looked like she couldn't lift her spirits for the past two days, and comforted: "Queen Mother, the past has passed, don't worry about it anymore, live your own life well." ”

Yue Qingming shook his head: "I didn't care about the past, I just felt a little uncomfortable." ”

"Is it physically uncomfortable? Do you want me to call the Imperial Doctor here to show you now? ”

Yue Qingming smiled and said: "It's not that the body is uncomfortable, it's the heart that is uncomfortable." ”

“……”

Jade suddenly quieted down, and sat obediently beside Yue Qingming, if she felt uncomfortable, then she had no way to help Yue Qingming, unless Yue Qingming could think about it, no one could help her.

Yue Qingming smiled and shook his head with emotion: "If I had known that so many things would happen after entering the palace, I should have carefully considered the day of entering the palace in the first place, I shouldn't have come so early." ”

"But no one can say for sure, and you are not to blame."

"But I saw all those things, and I felt uncomfortable."

Jade sighed, stretched out her hand and gently patted Yue Qingming's shoulder: "Queen Mother, I know that you feel uncomfortable, although I don't know how to comfort you, but I will always be here with you." ”

Yue Qingming smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

After the funeral of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager came to Chuxiu Palace.

Yue Qingming was about to get up and salute, but was stopped by the Queen Mother: "Since you are not feeling well, don't get up and salute, just sit, the palace is passing by here, so I just came to see you." ”

Yue Qingming smiled: "It's really hard for you to let the Queen Mother help with the funeral of the Queen Mother in the past few days." ”

"This is what this palace should do, why talk about hard work? It's you, you've been groggy all this time, but you feel better again? ”

Yue Qingming smiled and nodded. In fact, she wasn't really unwell, she just made an excuse for herself, but fortunately, no one doubted her.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "By the way, since you are here, there are just some things to tell you in this palace, so let the people in the palace exit first." ”

Yue Qingming was stunned, but he still obediently let those people retreat, and Jade personally guarded the door of the dormitory to prevent someone outside from eavesdropping on the conversation between them.

Yue Qingming looked at the Queen Mother, and asked with a smile: "The Queen Mother deliberately asked me to spend all those subordinates, is there anything important to tell me alone?" ”

"Qingming, this palace wants to ask you, do you know anything about Dong Xi?"

"Why do you ask?"

"It's just a feeling, I always feel that you know about Dong Xi's affairs, otherwise you wouldn't be as indifferent as you are now after knowing the news that he went back to Mingyue Tower, and you didn't even mention going out to find him."

“……”

Yue Qingming lowered her head, what the Queen Mother said was the truth, but Yue Qingming didn't want to admit it. If they admit it, it means that they are shielding Dong Xi, although they can't catch Dong Xi, but Dong Xi will definitely be wanted for killing the Empress Dowager.

Yue Qingming did not answer the Queen Mother's words, but the Queen Mother had already seen the answer from Yue Qingming's expression.

The Queen Mother sighed, her expression was a little helpless: "Qingming, you must know that Dong Xi has made a mistake that is absolutely unforgivable this time, and there is no benefit for you to cover him up like this." ”

"Did Dong Xi do something wrong?" Yue Qingming asked her rhetorically: "The Queen Mother thinks what Dong Xi did is wrong?" ”

"Hongu ......"

"Hasn't the Queen Mother known Dong Xi for more than 20 years? Then you should know very well what happened to Dong Xi, and why do you still think what he did was wrong? ”

"......" The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said, "This palace just thinks that he shouldn't take advantage of you, and shouldn't take advantage of our trust in him." ”

“……”

The previous Yue Qingming also thought so, but the current Yue Qingming felt that Dong Xi was excusable for doing so, he wanted to take revenge, but he didn't want to implicate them, so he could only choose this way, although extreme, but it was very effective.

Yue Qingming forgave Dong Xi for deceiving herself, and she was even willing to help Dong Xi hide the real situation, she didn't think Dong Xi would really hurt them.

The Queen Mother shook her head, stretched out her hand and gently patted Yue Qingming's shoulder: "Qingming, this palace doesn't know what you think in your heart, but since this matter has passed, let it pass, no one will ask about this matter again." ”

Yue Qingming raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother: "Really? ”

"Really," the Empress Dowager replied with great certainty: "The Empress Dowager died because of illness, not that she was killed, everyone knows about it, so this matter has nothing to do with Dong Xi." ”

Yue Qingming was stunned, and then laughed: "Thank you." ”

"Bengong is the same as you, I think Dong Xi didn't do anything wrong, it's just that the way is not right."

Yue Qingming lowered his head and smiled.

The Queen Mother exhaled a long breath and said, "Okay, you can rest here, the palace is a little tired, and it is time to go back." ”

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

After the Queen Mother left, Yue Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was not the only one supporting Dong Xi's doing, and this feeling was a little good.

Jade then walked into her bedroom, and seeing that Yue Qingming seemed to be in a good mood, she knew that the conversation between her and the Queen Mother was pleasant.

Jade held Yue Qingming's favorite pastry in her hand, and walked in front of her with a smile: "Queen Mother, this is a pastry sent by the imperial dining room, it was ordered by His Majesty, you can eat as much as you want." ”

This time, Yue Qingming did not refuse again, but happily picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Jade was happy that Yue Qingming finally had an appetite, but Yue Qingming seemed to have eaten something bad, and immediately spit out the pastry in his mouth: "Gross-"
