As soon as Yue Qingming's words came out, Dong Xi subconsciously avoided Yue Qingming's eyes, and naturally he was unwilling to answer her question directly.

Yue Qingming frowned, she felt a little strange, when she asked the Queen Mother a similar question before, the Queen Mother also subconsciously avoided herself, how did she come to Dong Xi, and she had the same reaction?

Intuition told Yue Qingming that there must be an unusual relationship between the Queen Mother and Dong Xi, and their avoidance is like "there are no silver three hundred taels here", and there must be something greasy in it!

So Yue Qingming asked him: "Dong Xi, why don't you answer my question?" It's just a sentence, is it hard to answer? ”

"If you really want to know, go ask the Queen Mother."

"Then what if the Queen Mother is unwilling to tell me?"

"If she doesn't want to say it, it proves that there is no relationship between me and her."

Yue Qingming frowned: "You are clearly evading!" ”

Dong Xi doesn't mind running away from anything, anyway, it's just some old things, there is not much difference in nature between remembering and not remembering, if the Queen Mother is unwilling to mention it, then he is not qualified to mention it.

Dong Xi turned around, turned his back to Yue Qingming, and said, "Don't mention things that have been going on for a long time, there's no need." ”

"Then at least you can tell me, are you familiar with the Queen Mother? I know, you used to know each other! ”

"......" Dong Xi sighed: "Since you know that we know, let's just know each other." ”

“……”

Yue Qingming really doesn't understand, what is the problem, and he is unwilling to answer himself for such a thing?

Yue Qingming thought about it, if the Queen Mother and Dong Xi were unwilling to say it, then could they go to the relevant people and ask, for example, Jiang Qianbai?

Jiang Qianbai has been raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child, as long as Dong Xi has appeared, then he must know some things between the Queen Mother and Dong Xi!

So Yue Qingming went to see Jiang Qianbai in the name of going to the Five Princes' Mansion to see Yue Wan'er.

Yue Qingming found Jiang Qianbai in the study, he was looking at the letter at that time, his expression was slightly serious, but when he saw Yue Qingming coming, he smiled: "What a rare guest." ”

Yue Qingming smiled: "What are you looking at, why do you look depressed?" ”

"It's just a few trivial things at the court. But you, why did you suddenly come to me? ”

"How do you know I'm not here to find Wan'er?"

"Wan'er is in the courtyard, if you come to look for her, you must go straight over, how can you come to me around a corner? Say, what's the matter? ”

Yue Qingming smiled, Jiang Qianbai really knew herself, since this was the case, then she wouldn't beat around the bush.

"Jiang Qianbai, do you know that the Queen Mother and Dong Xi have known each other for a long time?"

"Dong Xi?" Jiang Qianbai was a little puzzled: "Is that Dong Xi who is following you?" ”

Yue Qingming nodded.

Jiang Qianbai smiled and said, "I don't know." ”

"I really don't know?"

"I really don't know. If I knew him, I would have said it a long time ago when I was in Jiangnan City, why wait until now? I grew up in the Imperial City, how could I know him who lives in Jiangnan City? ”

“……”

Yue Qingming didn't know how to refute these words for a while. But the fact is that the Queen Mother and Dong Xi have known each other for a long time, and they must have always been in contact!

Jiang Qianbai asked: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask the Queen Mother and Dong Xi about it?" What did you find? ”

"I didn't find anything, I just felt like they were avoiding suspicion of something they once knew, and I don't know why."

Jiang Qianbai smiled: "Since they are avoiding suspicion, there must have been something unpleasant, since they are unwilling to say it, you must not be reluctant, just let them go." ”

Yue Qingming thought about it, and it could only be like this, after all, in his own identity, he had no qualifications and position to ask about what they had done, and since they didn't want to say it, they didn't want to ask too much.

"By the way, since you are here, tell me what is the situation on Princess Qingjia's side now?"

As soon as he mentioned the matter of Princess Qingjia, Yue Qingming sighed helplessly, shook his head, and sighed with emotion.

Jiang Qianbai looked at her with a puzzled expression, could it be that Princess Qingjia had an accident on Princess Qingjia's side that could make Yue Qingming show such an expression? But didn't Princess Qingjia already agree to cooperate with them, did she regret it halfway?

Just as Jiang Qianbai was about to ask what was going on, Yue Qingming said: "Princess Qingjia seems to be very dissatisfied with our arrangement, she doesn't want to stay in the palace, and she has provoked the Queen Mother, I am afraid that if she continues like this, it should be difficult for her to leave the imperial city alive." ”

Jiang Qianbai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

This time, it was Yue Qingming's turn to look at him puzzled: "Jiang Qianbai, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Even now, you are still concerned about Princess Qingjia's situation, it seems that you are still the same as before."

"How was I before?"

"Knife mouth tofu heart, have you forgotten what you did to that Yan'er before? If it weren't for your help in speaking in front of His Majesty, she wouldn't have left the Imperial City alive with what she did. ”

“……”

"Now in the matter of Princess Qingjia, you still have the same attitude, sometimes I really don't know what you think in your heart."

Yue Qingming pursed her lips and subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, she didn't have any special thoughts, she just felt that little girls of their age should not bear such a heavy responsibility, if they had a choice, they would definitely not be willing to choose such a path.

Therefore, Yue Qingming felt that if he could give them a chance, maybe they could start a new life and live the life they wanted.

Jiang Qianbai looked at the expression on Yue Qingming's face, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

And at this time, Ye Xiuwen hurriedly ran in, with a anxious expression: "Lord, something happened in the palace!" ”

Jiang Qianbai and Yue Qingming looked at him at the same time: "What's wrong?" ”

"There is news from Qiankun Palace, Princess Qingjia stabbed the Queen Mother with a hairpin when she went to visit her in the secret room, the wound is quite deep, and two imperial doctors have been sent to the hospital for treatment."

Jiang Qianbai stood up instantly, his expression was serious, and his eyes looked like he was about to kill.

Yue Qingming also stood up: "What happened to the Queen Mother?" ”

"It's not clear."

Jiang Qianbai frowned and looked at Yue Qingming, and said in a cold voice: "Yue Qingming, it seems that you can't give Princess Qingjia a chance to start over, she hurt the Queen Mother, I will never let her go easily!" ”
