Seeing the family's face struggling in this water prison, Mu Chunqiu was secretly frightened in his heart, if there was a way, he must get out of here quickly, otherwise, it would really only be here.

The Zhou family came to make trouble about Mu Wenran, although it was not very big, and it was difficult for so many people in the harem to stare at it.

"This palace heard that Mu Wenran's family went to the store to make trouble? Is there such a thing? ”

"Of course there is, this king's spies came to report and said that there was a lot of trouble."

Chu Mei carefully combed her black hair in the mirror, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It's just an old country woman, what do you care about this? Could it be that you still want to deal with Mu Wenran's group of relatives in the countryside? ”

Jing Yu sneered, he was not interested in caring about these inconsequential people, if he hadn't suddenly become interested in Mu Wenran in the past few days, and he sent someone to keep an eye on it, he probably wouldn't have known such an interesting thing.

"Of course it has nothing to do with me, but the queen can intervene in this matter, do you really care?"

"Queen? What does this have to do with her? It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, what is it for her to follow and intervene? ”

Chu Mei listened to Jing Yu's words, and she didn't believe it, Zheng Wanqing is not the kind of person who meddles with things, what is she doing with Mu Wenran's family affairs?

Jing Yu smiled, lay on the couch beside him with a comfortable face, and casually picked up a pot of tea from the side and drank it leisurely.

"There is such a coincidence in this world, when Mu Wenran's group of poor relatives came to look for them, it happened that the queen was in Mu Wenran's shop, and this group of poor relatives collided with the queen, of course the queen should take care of it."

"What about people? Dead or not? ”

"Eighty percent is already half dead, and Zheng Wanqing is also ruthless this time and put in a water prison."

Jing Yu still said unhurriedly, this was not enough for him to be bored to hear first, and Mu Wenran didn't have anything to do, so he didn't need to worry about it.

But Chu Mei suddenly looked at herself in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

Mu Wenran's relationship with those relatives doesn't seem to be very good, but these relatives are Mu Wenran who has watched her grow up since she was a child, and she must know a lot of things about Mu Wenran, if she can help intercede now, maybe she will be able to use them one day.

"Come with me to the water dungeon in a moment."

"You're going to the water dungeon?"

Jing Yu was so frightened by Chu Mei's words that she choked on a mouthful of water, looked at her inexplicably, and even thought that she was crazy, a place like a water prison, unless someone couldn't think about it, they would go inside even a simple visit, it was very difficult.

"The people in the water prison are all felons, just waiting for the autumn queen to ask and behead, what did you look at in the past, could it be that you really want to fish out those poor relatives of Mu Wenran?"

"Otherwise, how can you say that you are stupid! I'll explain this to you later! ”

Chu Mei rolled her eyes angrily, put on her clothes and walked out quickly, still not beckoning Jing Yu to hurry up.

Soon, the two of them groped all the way to the water prison.

Chu Mei swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear, Jing Yu said that the detention places here are all felons, she knows so well that under this dim light, where are the figures of Mu Wenran's relatives?

Chu Mei looked around, it was quiet, no one spoke, only the sound of chains hitting the railing.

"Concubine Niangniang! How did you get here! But the guards of this water prison were very clever, and knelt in front of the concubine after taking three steps and doing two steps.

"Okay, excuse me, there are no outsiders here, this palace will ask you, where is Mu Wenran's family locked up now?"

This guard was about the first time he had seen the prince and noble, and his tone was quite excited.

"Niangniang, do you want me to bring someone up?"

"Go."

Soon, the Zhou family was fished out of the water prison and knelt at Chu Mei's feet, wailing repeatedly.

"! Save us! We're not going to do it anymore, we're not going to do it again! Zhou was the first to take the lead, and the old tears grabbed Chu Mei's kick, and the wailing voice was particularly harsh and ugly in this water prison.

"Let go! This palace is not your queen mother, this palace is the concubine of the dynasty! Chu Mei saw her wet, seemingly broken hand, frowned, and took several steps back.

But at this time, the Zhou family didn't care whether it was the queen mother in front of him, and he grabbed the corner of her clothes and refused to let go.

"Jing Yu!" Chu Mei looked at Jing Yu with annoyance, he was standing with his hands around his arms, looking like he was watching a good show.

Hearing Chu Mei shouting anxiously, Jing Yu stepped forward quickly, and couldn't see what was holding Chu Mei, and stepped on it fiercely.

"Ouch! My hand! My hand! Zhou screamed in pain, his hand shrunk, and he didn't stand firm under his feet, and suddenly he stumbled, and he fell directly down the stairs like a ball, and fell into the stinky water, choking on his mouth, and his nose was full of this fishy smell.

"Guifei Niangniang, I am Mu Wenran's younger brother, my name is Mu Chunqiu, this time I came to Beijing to catch the exam, I happened to meet my sister, so I accidentally bumped into her, I originally thought we were sisters and brothers, it didn't matter, but I didn't expect my sister not only to take this matter to heart, but also to find the queen and put us all in the water prison."

"Oh? That's why you're locked up? ”

"That's all!"

Chu Mei looked at the black lump kneeling at her feet, and a wonderful plan gradually rose in her heart.

"In that case, then you don't stay here for a while, go out with me."

"No! Guifei Niangniang, speaking of which, this is a place where felons are held, you just took people out like this, and it's not easy for the little ones to deal with the emperor, right? ”

But as soon as Chu Mei's words fell, she heard a jailer step forward with some anxiety, kneeling on one knee, and arching his hand at her with both hands in fists.

"This palace just wants to bring a scholar out of the water prison, why don't you have this little potential?"

"That's not the case, the noble concubine, you need the emperor's dictation to take people out in this water prison, but you are here empty-handed now, if we let you in, I'm afraid that the people who are all over the house will be us."

Chu Mei glanced at this person dissatisfied, waved her sleeve robe, and tilted her head slightly towards Jing Yu's side.

"Tell me, isn't that so? Or is this man trying to make things difficult? ”

"That's true, in order to ensure our safety, I think it's best for you to go and ask your father for the emperor's will first, even if it's a dictation."

Chu Mei shook her head unmoved. "The emperor doesn't know anything now, is it too sudden for me to go like this?"
