Chapter 657: Old Acquaintances
What did Dong Xi do, Yue Qingming didn't ask much, she knew that Dong Xi would not tell her, of course, no one else knew, he had always been a loner.
It's just that Yue Qingming feels curious that Dong Xi has been away from the imperial city for so long, and now he has only returned to his side, but he is not surprised by the sudden change in the imperial city now, does this mean that the time he so-called left has actually been in the imperial city all the time?
Yue Qingming poured him a cup of tea: "Dong Xi, did you just come back here today?" ”
"If you're referring to Mingyue Tower, then I'm only back today."
“…… Listen to what you mean, you've actually returned to the Imperial City a long time ago, haven't you? ”
Dong Xi hesitated, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”
In fact, he came back directly after sending Yue Qingming back to Jiangnan City, on the side of Jiangnan City, Yue Qingming would be very safe and did not need his own protection, but at that time he still had unfinished business in the Imperial City.
Yue Qingming propped up his chin and stared at Dong Xi thoughtfully.
Dong Xi noticed her eyes and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"I just feel like I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm a little happy to see you come back suddenly."
"Really?" Dong Xi smiled: "But the expression on your face doesn't look like a happy one." ”
Yue Qingming immediately showed a smile: "I'm happy in my heart, and it has nothing to do with the expression on my face." ”
Dong Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, okay, he reluctantly accepted such a statement.
"I've been busy all this time, so I didn't come back to see you, sorry, but I'll be here from now on, if you need my help, just ask."
"Got it, when did I be polite to you."
"Yes."
Yue Qingming smiled: "Okay, you've been busy with your affairs all this time, you must be tired, go back and rest first, if there is something that needs your help, I will definitely let someone call you." ”
Dong Xi nodded: "Got it, then I'll go." ”
"Hmm."
After Dong Xi left the room, the smile on Yue Qingming's face slowly retracted, and she still held her chin with a thoughtful expression.
Yue Qingming remembered that since he first met Dong Xi, he had never thought about hurting himself, of course, it was the same now, but Yue Qingming had never understood Dong Xi from beginning to end, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, just like his mask, he had been wearing it, and he had never seen a face like what happened after his mask.
Yue Qingming frowned slightly, Dong Xi, Dong Xi, why did you never take off the mask on your face? Is it because you're afraid to see someone, or is your face too hurt to show up?
"Alas!"
That's right! Yue Qingming suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother seemed to be an old acquaintance with Dong Xi, and I don't know if she still remembers what Dong Xi looked like.
Yue Qingming found a suitable opportunity, and when the Empress Dowager was single-mindedly searching for the traces of Princess Qingjia, she once again disguised herself as a palace maid and entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager.
When the Queen Mother saw Yue Qingming coming, she thought she was here to see Princess Qingjia's situation.
"Princess Qingjia is very good here in this palace, you don't have to come to see it in person, Your Majesty didn't order her to die, she will definitely live well."
Yue Qingming smiled: "Princess Qingjia is here with the Queen Mother, I am naturally relieved." But I'm here to see you today, not for Princess Qingjia, but because of an old acquaintance of yours. ”
"Old acquaintances?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "Which old acquaintance?" ”
If I remember correctly, in this imperial city, my old acquaintances have already died, and even if there are a few who are not dead, they have left the imperial city early and never returned, and I don't know who Yue Qingming is talking about.
After Yue Qingming sat down with the Empress Dowager's hand, he asked her: "Do you remember the Empress Dowager who came to the imperial city with me before?" ”
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.
"I've known Dong Xi for a long time, but I've never seen his true appearance, I don't know if the Queen Mother still remembers what he looks like?"
"He ......"
The Queen Mother hesitated, and suddenly became a little nervous.
Yue Qingming saw the look on the face of the Queen Mother, as well as her clasped hands. She was a little puzzled, what was wrong with the Queen Mother, but she just asked her if she remembered what Dong Xi looked like, why did she seem to be a little scared?
Yue Qingming hurriedly held her hand and patted it gently to reassure.
She softened her voice and asked cautiously, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
The Empress Dowager settled down and asked, "Has he returned to the imperial city?" ”
"After he sent me back to Jiangnan City before, he returned to the Imperial City by himself, if I guessed correctly, he should have been there since then."
“……”
The Queen Mother pursed her lips, her eyes were a little complicated, if this is really the case, then the matter of the previous emperor's distraction must have something to do with Dong Xi, she said who still has that kind of thing in her hands!
If it was Dong Xi's words, it would make sense.
"The Queen Mother? What happened to you? Why don't you talk again? Is there something wrong with Dong Xi? ”
"No," the Queen Mother shook her head: "He's very good, but although Bengong and he have known each other for a long time, they are not old acquaintances, Bengong has a general relationship with him, he has a cold temperament, and Bengong hasn't said a few words to him." ”
"Really?"
The Queen Mother nodded affirmatively: "Naturally it's true, what is this kind of thing that this palace is lying to you?" ”
Yue Qingming smiled, that's too.
It's just that if even the Queen Mother doesn't know what Dong Xi is like, then in this world, I'm afraid that only Daddy Yue Tianfu understands his situation, but Daddy has always disliked him, and I'm afraid he won't tell himself about him.
The Queen Mother was a little curious: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask Dong Xi about it?" Was he doing something? ”
"No, I don't even know what he's doing in the Imperial City, I'm just a little curious, he never took off the mask on his face."
"Masks...... The mask was worn because his face was burned, and his face was full of terrible scars, so he wore the mask all the time, saying that he was afraid that it would scare others. ”
"Burns? How did you get burned? ”
"That was a long time ago, and Hongu doesn't remember it very well."
Yue Qingming pouted, huh? But the Queen Mother obviously remembered that Dong Xi's face was burned, how could she not remember what she was burned for?
Yue Qingming's intuition told her that the Queen Mother must know about Dong Xi's affairs, but she just didn't want to tell herself!
