Chapter 186: Volume 1, Chapter 186: The Empress Dowager Is Very Concerned About Yun Qiyue

Yun Qiyue was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Her eyebrows frowned slightly.

But she didn't speak.

Follow her back to the palace? Her home was outside the palace; why should she follow her back to the palace?

Then, just as Yun Qiyue was thinking this, Qi Taihou, with red eyes, stepped forward a few steps, "Qiyue, this Dowager has heard about what happened in the past three years these past few days; it's this Dowager's fault; it's this Dowager who didn't take good care of you."

Saying this, tears streamed down her face.

Of course, the Empress Dowager's crying was also with a bit of noble elegance, not the kind of crying of a common woman.

One of the nannies supporting Qi Taihou saw this and hurriedly comforted, "Empress Dowager, your body is unwell, so don't be so harmful to yourself; these can't be blamed on you."

Another nanny echoed, "Yes, Empress Dowager, didn't you go to worship Buddha back then to pray for Miss Yun? Now that Miss Yun is well, doesn't it just happen to be what you wanted, Empress Dowager?"

The words of the two nannies revealed a lot of news.

The Empress Dowager's body was unwell, the Empress Dowager worshipped Buddha for three years for Yun Qiyue, and the Empress Dowager was very concerned about Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue herself didn't have any feelings about these words, but the commoners watching were deeply moved.

This Empress Dowager was truly sentimental.

Because of Mu Qingwan's rescue back then, not only did she set up an engagement between the foolish Yun Qiyue and the Crown Prince, but she also missed her so much.

Although people discussed these words in low voices, some still fell into Yun Qiyue's ears.

To this, Yun Qiyue remained calm and indifferent.

The look in the Empress Dowager's eyes when looking at her was indeed filled with love.

The tears were indeed real too.

However, the feeling was just very strange.

And her feelings were always very accurate.

So, toward this Empress Dowager who seemed to be very concerned and cared about her, Yun Qiyue truly had no feelings at all.

At least, in her view, if the Empress Dowager had the heart, even if she worshipped Buddha, she should have known what kind of life the original owner lived all these years.

The Empress Dowager didn't manage anything, and returning at this time, and specifically coming to the Ghost Doctor Pavilion to visit her, just seemed too deliberate.

Yun Qiyue's expression was indifferent as she stood up from the stool.

She didn't kneel, nor did she have any intention of getting closer, just saying, "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

She just said it with her mouth; there was no intention of bowing in her actions.

The Empress Dowager watched, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

And the two nannies beside the Empress Dowager were somewhat dissatisfied because of Yun Qiyue's actions.

"Miss Yun Third seems to not understand the rules very well." One of the nannies said.

When this nanny's words fell, people reacted and knelt to salute the Empress Dowager.

Only Yun Qiyue stood.

Facing the nanny's words, Yun Qiyue was calm, "Just recovered, really don't understand."

The tone was indifferent.

The nanny choked, somewhat angry.

The Empress Dowager interrupted in a deep voice, "Nanny Zhu, rules and such can be learned later; Qiyue just recovered, how can you be so harsh?"

The maintenance was full.

Saying this, the Empress Dowager let the commoners kneeling beside her stand up, with a style unique to royalty.

The commoners thanked her and stood up, feeling even more that the Empress Dowager was so benevolent.

Qi Taihou looked at Yun Qiyue, looking her up and down.

However, when her gaze fell on that half-mask on Yun Qiyue's face, her eyes paused, somewhat complex.

Then, she looked at Yun Qiyue with a worried face, "Qiyue, this Dowager heard that the Emperor was muddled and canceled your engagement with the Crown Prince, and bestowed a marriage between you and the Regent..."

When the words reached this point, Qi Taihou's expression was clearly somewhat excited, "Don't worry about this matter; since this Dowager has returned, even if I have to risk my old life, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Yun Qiyue looked at Qi Taihou's excited expression, and in her heart, she felt it was even stranger.

A dignified Empress Dowager, in front of everyone, saying the Emperor was muddled, and even saying she wanted to seek justice for her.

Very strange.

Back then, why did the Empress Dowager want her, a fool, to become the Crown Princess?

Now, knowing she was bestowed a marriage, even if the Emperor didn't dare to point fingers at this marriage after the Regent agreed to it, the Empress Dowager said she would risk her old life to help solve it.

Her maintenance of her was truly too unreasonable.

It seemed there was something she didn't know.

Although she was suspicious in her heart, Yun Qiyue said indifferently, "How does the Empress Dowager want to seek justice for this subject's daughter?"

Qi Taihou: "Naturally, it is to set things right."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue sneered in her heart.

Chaos, right.

Was this implying that the Regent was the chaos?

However, if there were no Regent, the Donglin back then would have been destroyed long ago, so where would the chaos and right come from?

Yun Qiyue felt somewhat unhappy in her heart, but remained indifferent on the surface, "This subject's daughter feels the Regent is very good."

At this time, Yun Qiyue had completely forgotten that she was still having a cold war with the Imperial Uncle.

Qi Taihou: "... Qiyue, you can know a person's face but not their heart..."

"Empress Dowager." Yun Qiyue met Qi Taihou's eyes, "Whether it's heart or face, the Regent is better than the Crown Prince."

These words were quite a slap in the Empress Dowager's face.

Not only did she refute the Empress Dowager's words, but she also belittled the Empress Dowager's grandson.

However, Qi Taihou didn't get furious because of this, but was stunned for a moment, sighing, "It must be that Qi'er child didn't do well; this Dowager will talk to him after returning to the palace."

Saying this, she earnestly persuaded Yun Qiyue, "Qiyue, no matter what choice you make, this Dowager supports you; this Dowager only hopes you live well and don't wrong yourself."

Yun Qiyue sneered in her heart.

Was this implying that if she married the Regent, she would be wronged in the future?

I'm afraid that compared to the Regent, Xuanyuan Qi was truly the one who would make people feel wronged.

"Hmm." Although she didn't think so in her heart, Yun Qiyue still responded.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager only said, "This Dowager is tired from the journey; I'll return to the palace first; remember to come to the palace to see this Dowager."

In her eyes, there was love and expectation.

It was truly like someone who loved and cared about Yun Qiyue extremely.

However, could royalty have such a loving Empress Dowager?

And it was toward her, this outsider.

Really, it made her feel that the performance was too much.

The Empress Dowager finally left, still the kind of leaving that was reluctant to part.

After these things happened in the Ghost Doctor Pavilion, Yun Qiyue couldn't treat patients properly either.

So, Yun Qiyue didn't stay in the Ghost Doctor Pavilion for long and returned directly to the General's Mansion.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Yun Qiyue found the Old Marquis directly.

Seeing his granddaughter return at this time, and finding him as soon as she returned, the Old Marquis couldn't help but tease, "Qiyue finally remembered this old man; otherwise, Grandfather would have thought Qiyue didn't have Grandfather in her heart."

Yun Qiyue knew the Old Marquis was just saying it casually, so she smiled and said, "How could I not have Grandfather in my heart? My heart and eyes are full of you; if you don't believe it, Grandfather, look at my eyes and see if you are there."

Yun Yongyuan: "You are good at glib talk."

Then, the Old Marquis's attention was naturally attracted by the mask on Yun Qiyue's face.

It had to be said, this mask was very suitable for Qiyue.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yun Yongyuan finally said: "Nothing happens without a reason; speak, what's the matter?"

His granddaughter coming to find him at this time must mean something had happened.

Yun Qiyue: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Grandfather."

Saying this, Yun Qiyue's expression became somewhat serious, "I want to ask about the Empress Dowager..." ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
