"Is Mu Lingshao still not back? He should have received the news by now, right? "

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment and slightly nodded his head. He didn't think too much about Zhao Qingsi's question.

"Since you knew I was coming, then you should have already investigated Su Mei's situation right? No matter what, she's your lover, why don't you investigate her and have her rest in peace?"

Zhao Qingsi knew Xiao Qing had an idea. She shook her wine cup and asked with a smile, "What kind of benefits can I get?"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

After that, Zhao Qingsi left the Spring Pavilion with Xiao Qing Qing.

Xiao Qing told Zhao Qingsi to go to the Dream Immortal Tower and find the box of Snow Paste Paste. Jian Jia told Xiao Qing that he didn't see any at the time of the opening of the hall.

On the other hand, he went to the Du Residence. He wanted to go to the Du Residence to confirm the situation.

On the other side, Mu Lingshao galloped towards the Royal City as soon as he heard the news.

"Big brother Ling Shao, slow down."

Mu Lingshao rode a horse with a blue-clothed woman running on the official road. Due to the speed being too fast, the woman's expression wasn't very good.

However, Mu Lingshao could not stop because Du Mu Zhou was currently in prison. How could he be at ease? At this moment, he was frowning deeply and his beard was unshaven, as if he had not slept well for several days.

"Either shut up or dismount."

Mu Ling Shao spoke coldly, and the woman did not speak again.

One day later, Mu Lingshao arrived at the Royal City and headed straight for the Duke of Xiao's mansion.

"Little Uncle, Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, where is he?" Mu Ling waved his horse and dashed into the manor. Along the way, he did not see Xiao Qing Qing's figure. The attendant also did not dare to go up and talk to him.

Mu Lingshao sat in the main hall and waited.

Seeing that Mu Lingshao had quieted down, the servant walked forward and said, "Master, second master is in the backyard!"

Mu Ling Shao glared at the attendant. That gaze was clearly … Why didn't you say so earlier?!

"Xiao Qing Qing, how is the wooden boat now?"

Mu Ling Shao shouted, afraid that Xiao Qing would not be able to hear him.

"Xiao Qing Qing also heard it, but didn't want to reply …" Were these three words, 'Xiao Qing Qing', something he could call out?

When Mu Lingshao saw that Xiao Qing didn't respond to him and thought that the attendant was lying to him, he was just about to curse when he heard Xiao Qing Qing's voice. This time, Mu Ling Shao was even angrier.

"Xiao Qing Qing, did you not hear me when I called out to you?" Mu Ling Shao walked over aggressively.

At this moment, Xiao Qing Qing and Zhao Qingsi were sitting and drinking tea.

"What are you yelling about? "If you don't even call me uncle, do you have any manners?" Xiao Qing gave Mu Lingshao a cup of tea to calm his anger.

Mu Lingshao frowned as he accepted the tea. After all, he was too thirsty and had yet to drink any water since he entered the house!

When he saw the appearance of the two, he was puzzled … Had the matter been resolved?

"You all … "Who are you?"

"Zhao Qingsi, Young Master Mu, please advise me!" Zhao Qingsi cupped her hands in a greeting. This was the proper etiquette between men.

"You …"

Before Mu Lingshao could ask, Xiao Qing started to explain.

"We did not find anything. The other party seemed to have cleaned up all the evidence and even that Snow Pear Paste was not found."

Mu Lingshao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't find anything … So leisurely?

Xiao Qing told Mu Lingshao to calm down and slowly listened to him.

"Although we didn't find anything, the wooden boat didn't suffer in jail either."

Hearing these words, Mu Ling Shao's expression finally relaxed.

However, even if Du Mu Zhou was fine now, it didn't mean that she would be fine in a few days, right? When it came to high-ranking officials, the matter was not that simple.

"Tell me everything you found out, and I'll look into the rest."

Mu Ling Shao could tell that these two people were not reliable at all.

After that, Zhao Qingsi told Mu Ling Shao and Su Mei about how they died. With the blood flowing from the seven orifices of their orifices and black lips, it was obvious that they had been poisoned, and that they had taken some kind of poison, not some external medicine. Therefore, Du Mu Zhou's crime was not established, but the fact that Su Mei's maidservant said that it was a problem with the Cosmetic Cultivation Pavilion made everyone suspicious.

"Are you sure there's a problem with that Ya He?" Mu Ling Shao's slender fingers lightly knocked on the stone table.

Xiao Qing Qing stroked her long hair and nodded with a smile.

"Go to Su Mei's room and check, Brother Qing Si …" We didn't manage to find anything, so he's afraid of entering Su Mei's room. "

After Xiao Qing Qing finished speaking, Zhao Qingsi pinched him. It was better not to say such things out loud.

Mu Lingshao frowned. Although he didn't know why Xiao Qing Qing said this, he had heard of Zhao Qingsi's name before. He could only helplessly shake his head and ask her about it before heading off to take a bath.

Mu Lingshao lay in the wooden barrel, his fatigue slowly disappearing. When he thought about the sight of Du Mu Zhou, the corner of his mouth curled up.

At night, Mu Lingshao changed into a set of night clothes and snuck into the yamen's prison.

As he continued to walk forward, Xiao Qing Qing told him that the prisoners at the very front of the prison were all criminals. Because they were afraid that they would run away, they were locked up in the front, and the further they walked, the lesser the offense, the better the living conditions would be.

"Wood..." "Boat …" Mu Ling Shao muttered as he looked at the room number and found the place where Du Mu Zhou was being held.

At this time, Du Mu Zhou had already fallen asleep. However, his eyebrows were tightly knitted, his head was still moving left and right, and his expression was painful. His mouth seemed to be mumbling something.

Mu Ling Shao felt heartache for the current Du Mu Zhou and really wanted to reach out to touch her, but unfortunately, he couldn't get the key to open the door.

"Just what kind of dream could cause you so much pain?" Mu Ling Shao sat outside, holding his hand as if he was touching Du Mu Zhou.

It was a pity that Mu Lingshao couldn't see Du Mu Zhou's dream.

She screamed out in pain, but the more she shouted, the happier she became. Gradually, she couldn't hear any sounds, but Mu Yufeng seemed to be telling her that everyone in her palace was dead, and it was as if she heard the cries of those innocent people. Mu Yufeng seemed to have told her that they were all dead, and it was as if he heard the cries of those innocent people crying for help.

"Don't... Don't... Mu Yufeng … "Don't..."

Mu Lingshao suddenly felt as though his mind had exploded when he heard this name.

Mu Yufeng … What was her relationship with Mu Yufeng?

Du Mu Zhou woke up from his dream and held his chest as he panted heavily. Ever since she came here, she had been having this dream every night, unable to sleep soundly.

Du Mu Zhou pressed his temples to ease his emotions. Just as he was about to lie down and sleep again, he suddenly saw a figure.
