The eerie prison is exceptionally secluded.

After walking through a long corridor and descending a few steps of stone steps, you will see a square table in the middle and a pear blossom wooden chair behind it.

Mu Yang crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the file in his hand, which contained the list of women who entered the palace that day.

Hearing the footsteps, Mu Yang looked up and got up with a smile, "You aunt, come here, Dad still asked me to wait for you here." ”

Although he was reproachful in his words, there was no displeasure in his tone.

On the contrary, Ming Ran was not happy to hear what he said, but she also came for the queen mother's business, he was good, and he thought she was troublesome.

She walked briskly down the stone steps and came to him, "Aunt is seriously ill, aren't you worried at all?" ”

Mu Yang shrugged his shoulders, "All that is left in this prison is the maid who accompanied him into the palace that day, and those ladies and young ladies have already gone out." ”

Ming Ran looked at him in surprise and asked loudly, "What?" It's not that the female dependents are still imprisoned here, why were they released? ”

"There are so many ministers in the court, and my father is also very helpless, after checking them one by one, all those who are not suspected will be released."

Ming Ran strode towards the cell, looking inside one room at a time.

Each of the small square cells was crowded with people, their faces dirty and panicked, and they watched Akiran walk in front of the cell with a look of longing, but they didn't dare to call for help.

Ming Ran walked from the first room to the last, not seeing the person she wanted to see.

It seems that Guo Yuxi has gotten rid of suspicion.

Muyang followed behind her, not understanding who she was looking for.

"Who do you want to see today?"

Mingran glanced up at him, not knowing what to say.

She walked out with her head bowed, and as she passed by a cell in the middle, a woman decorated with a maid caught her attention.

The woman crouched in the corner, staring blankly at the skylight.

"Where's that maid?" Mingran pointed to the corner and looked at the maid.

Mu Yang glanced in the direction she was pointing and shouted at the maid, "Which maid are you?" ”

The maid ignored it and did not react.

Mu Yang waved his hand and beckoned the head of the prison.

The head of the prison held the scroll in his hand, compared it, and said, "Go back to the county lord, that is the maid of the Lu'anbo family, and she is a deaf person. ”

"Can a deaf person enter the palace?" Mu Yang asked puzzled.

The prison head replied respectfully: "Lord Hui Mu, that maid has been interrogated, because Mrs. Lu Anbo has a heart disease, she has been cooking for several years, and Mrs. Lu Anbo is indispensable to her, so she followed her into the palace that day." ”

Ming Ran looked at the maid with a delicate face, with a sense of calm, not like an ordinary maid.

There was a movement at the door of the cell, and the rest of the maids lowered their heads and quietly looked at the door, while the maid looked at the small skylight without even blinking.

Mu Yang also seemed to see the difference between the maid, and after thinking for a while, he said, "She is also detained." ”

Ming Ran immediately stopped: "Let her go, Mrs. Lu Amber has a stubborn illness, and she is indispensable by her side." ”

The prison head glanced at Ming Ran in embarrassment, and then looked at Muyang, not knowing who to listen to.

Seeing that the prison head was stupid in place, Mu Yang scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? Didn't hear the county lord? ”

The jailer immediately laughed and brought the jailer the key.

Ming Ran pulled Mu Yang and left the prison quickly.

Mu Yang complained as he walked: "I said that you came out of the palace specifically to let go of a maid?" ”

Mingran glanced back at him, "Why are you so noisy?" ”

Mu Yang couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to pat her forehead, "I think I'm noisy, if I don't come today, see how you get in." ”

Ming Ran pursed his lips, turned to Fuyue and whispered, "Let Lan Ling investigate." ”

Fuyue nodded knowingly.

The daylight in the sky shone on several people outside the prison.

Ming Ran took small steps and walked on the lively and boiling street.

Muyang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Passing through the busy streets, Meiran walked to the moat and stood in front of the guardrail.

A short walk further on, is the shore where Ming Ran fell into the river for the first time and was rescued.

Ming Ran leaned on the guardrail stone, "What are you thinking?" ”

Mu Yang retracted his thoughts, walked to her side, and said solemnly: "The maid in the prison just now, how do I remember where I saw her?" ”

"Have you seen her? Where is it? Mingran asked impatiently.

Mu Yang rubbed his forehead, frowned, thought for a long time, but still shook his head, "I really can't think of it." ”

"It seems that that maid is really different from others." She looked at the river, thoughtful.

"Then why did you let her go?"

"Do you want to startle the snake?" Mingran asked with an eyebrow raised.

Mu Yang suddenly realized, laughed at his sloppiness like self-deprecation, looked at Ming Ran meaningfully, and said approvingly: "You have really grown up." ”

Mingran smiled softly and looked at the river without saying a word, she had fallen into the water twice on this river.

"Dye'er ......" Muyang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huh?" Ming Ran looked sideways at him, wondering why he didn't say it.

"The emperor is cleaning up King Run's henchmen, and the reason why An Lanwei was imprisoned in the palace is to let An Xuqiao appear."

Mingran was slightly surprised, then lowered his head.

"So, what do you want to say, second brother?"

Mu Yang's face was solemn, and he said: "Second brother knows about your friendship with An Xuqiao, but you must not meddle in this matter, he is now a traitor, and the emperor will only feel at ease if he is captured." ”

Mingran curled the corners of his lips bitterly, and said helplessly: "Second brother looks down on me, I couldn't even save him when he was locked up in Dali Temple before, and now I can't help it." ”

seemed to think of something again, and then said: "You said that An Lanwei's mother and daughter were imprisoned in the palace to lead him forward?" ”

Mu Yang nodded, "The An family's belongings and the people they have cultivated secretly are all gone. ”

Ming Ran lowered her head and smiled, of course she understood that Xiao Yiqian would not let go of An Xuqiao, even if he didn't have those belongings, Xiao Yiqian would not let him go.

"Second brother, do you believe that King Run didn't think about rebellion?"

Mu Yang looked around and said vigilantly: "Dye'er, it's good that you know some things, how can you say them." ”

It seems that everyone understands.

"Well, now I just want to find out the person who poisoned my aunt as soon as possible, and find out the poison, so that Mr. Wu can bring out the antidote."

Mu Yang sighed, "Don't worry, I'll check the maid in Lu Anbo Mansion." ”

Ming Ran nodded, "Then I'll go back to the Hou Mansion, and the maid will be handed over to you." ”

"Okay." Muyang watched her leave with a smile.

Ming Ran got into the carriage and returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Hou Mansion, he noticed an abnormality outside the mansion, and there were many soldiers with unfamiliar faces standing at the door.

The butler walked to the door to meet her.

Ming Ran looked at the heavily guarded surroundings of the mansion and asked suspiciously, "What happened?" How can there be so many soldiers? ”

The housekeeper lowered his head and whispered: "The eldest young master was imprisoned in Dali Temple because of King Run's siege of the city. ”
