The emperor didn't know why he was sick, and summoned Mu Qingfeng and Mu Lingxuan into the palace. The father-in-law who came to deliver the news did not reveal the slightest news, but only said that the two brothers should wait outside the imperial study.

Shen Mei's matter finally had some clues, he was originally going to rush to the carriage shop that Mu Qing and others found, it is said that on the night of Shen Mei's accident, someone came here at night to ask for a carriage, and went out of the city in the middle of the night, feeling a little strange, Mu Qing felt this matter when he came to investigate, and he specially ran to the carriage shop to rent a carriage, it seems that they don't want people to trace their whereabouts. Maybe it has something to do with Shen Mei's disappearance, and immediately report the matter to Mu Qingfeng.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingfeng still decided to enter the palace.

By the time Shen Mei woke up, half a month had passed, and Mo Li didn't come forward, just let people take care of her.

Coupled with several days of sleepiness, Shen Mei's entire head was groggy, all she saw in her eyes were flickering blurry images, and echoes echoed in her ears one after another.

Seeing Shen Mei's appearance, the maid was a little anxious, after all, she was the one who was ordered by the master to take care of her, "Girl, girl." ”

"Where am I?" Not knowing what was going on around her, this made Shen Mei even more flustered, and she sat up and hugged her knees tightly, looking very scared.

"You don't have to worry, it's safe here." The maid said comfortingly.

However, this is strange to Shen Mei, even if she can't see everything around her, she can keenly feel that she is in a strange place, which is a little cold, which always makes her feel that she is in a cave, and from time to time there is a wind blowing in her ears, this should be a cave, but why did she come here.

Shen Mei calmed down for a moment, recalling that she was in the prison of the Criminal Department, but who would bring her to this place. With another wave of dizziness, she shook her head and looked at the people around her with a blank look, "What is this place?" Who are you? And who brought me here? ”

The maid was a little weak-hearted, and felt that this girl, who looked soft and weak, had an irresistible power in her bones. Mo Li had confessed that he couldn't tell Shen Mei anything without his permission, because he knew that if Shen Mei knew that he had brought her out of the Criminal Department, he would only be more suspicious.

That's why people added drugs that would cause Shen Mei to become delirious in the incense, so that she didn't have the strength to resist any decision she made. Mo Li became more and more sure that he wanted to keep her.

The maid knew that she couldn't tell her about it, so she just said comfortingly, "Girl, don't worry, no one here will hurt you, the girl just needs to take care of herself here, then she can go back in a few days." ”

Shen Mei didn't believe this person's words, although she could hear that this person had no malicious intent, but with her intuition, it was certain that the person who tied herself must want to use herself to achieve some kind of goal. After resting for a while, the echo in my ears gradually disappeared, and my hearing returned to normal. But there were more and more doubts in Shen Mei's heart.

Seeing that Shen Mei was silent for a long time, "By the way, look at my memory, the master has instructed that when the girl wants to come, she will prepare some food for the girl, girl, you can rest well, and the little one will come back soon." After speaking, Shen Mei heard a few eager footsteps, the blurred figure disappeared from sight, and she also heard the sound of a lock outside the door.

It turned out that he couldn't escape this place, so he calmed down, thinking about waiting until his eyesight recovered a little, and then he would find a way.

The room was so quiet that she could even hear the sound of water droplets, and Shen Mei recalled all the details, trying to find something she had overlooked.

said softly, "First of all, as soon as Mu Qingfeng came back, Concubine Shu had an accident, she was framed and imprisoned, and now she is being locked up in this strange place." “

I always felt that something was weird, something that seemed to be unrelated, but it made Shen Mei suspicious.

Compared with the mysterious force before, Mu Qingfeng's matter can be said to be force majeure, but what is happening now does not seem to be done by that force. Shen Mei faintly sensed that someone was secretly controlling everything, and this person was very familiar with everything in the capital, even the imperial palace.

The purpose of these people is very clear, they are going to Mu Qingfeng, because Shen Mei knows that Concubine Shu's case must have something else hidden, and Shen Mei can be sure that someone wants to make a big fuss about Concubine Shu, in order to make the emperor have a gap between the queen and Mu Qingfeng.

First, if someone did it on purpose, then the Criminal Department would definitely not find anything, so they needed to find a key person, who could be the person who indexed all the lines to the queen, or someone who was related to Mu Qingfeng. Then of course he will be the first choice. They came for Mu Qingfeng from the beginning, thinking that they could use this to disturb Mu Qingfeng.

However, Shen Mei knew that Mu Qingfeng must be able to figure out this, Shen Mei thought about it, could it be all planned by Mu Lingxuan, but after careful analysis, she found that this was impossible, because Shen Mei understood Mu Lingxuan's style of acting, although Mu Lingxuan was an extremely hypocritical person with a deep city government, but if he followed his way, he would completely blame himself for the matter of Concubine Shu, so as to ask the emperor for credit, and he could suppress Mu Qingfeng, what he wanted was glory and praise that could be seen, So he won't tie himself up to this place.

Then, after excluding the people who have direct grievances with Mu Qingfeng, who will be able to play the entire capital in the palm of their hands.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door again, which sounded a little messy, and then followed by the sound of the key inserting into the lock hole and turning, Shen Mei held her breath and listened carefully to the sound outside, Shen Mei closed her eyes, isolating the unclear scene in front of her and the blurred light and shadow, so that her attention was all focused on the movement outside.

Then came the sound of pushing the door open, but there was a gap of more than ten seconds between the sound of opening the door and the footsteps she heard, and Shen Mei was a little puzzled by this. I vaguely felt that someone was walking towards me, but the calmness of the footsteps and the sound that came out were obviously inconsistent with the voice of the woman just now.

"Girl, sit down some." The maid said to Shen Mei.

This made Shen Mei slowly open her eyes again, only to see that there were two figures in front of her, she couldn't see the face of the person clearly, just a vague shadow, with the cognition just now, she knew that the pink, somewhat thin person was the maid just now, but she was surprised to see a tall gray-black figure in front of her.
