The man in front of me was nothing but Mr. Ruan, who once taught at Qingyu County Academy.

He was also an old friend of Gao Yuanchun, the county magistrate at that time.

In the Ju Chunlou case, Chen Mu once listed Mr. Ruan as the main culprit behind the scenes, but in the end it was found that it was the Hanwu Temple's Yongxin.

After the case was over, Mr. Ruan was ordered to enter the Censorate.

When Chen Mu was preparing to go to Beijing, the county magistrate Gao Yuanchun also specifically instructed him that if he had any difficulties in the capital, he could go to Mr. Ruan.

However, after Chen Mu came to the capital, he was tired of investigating the case and the woman, but he ignored it.

At this moment, I saw the acquaintance in front of me, and then I remembered the other person.

"Although I have been looking forward to meeting Lord Chen for a long time, I didn't expect it to be such a place, which is interesting."

Mr. Ruan joked.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It made Mr. Ruan laugh. It was my fault that he had not been able to visit you after coming to the capital. I hope Mr. Ruan will not take it to heart."

"If you really visit me, I will not dare to see you."

Mr. Ruan was calm, "After coming to the capital, he would step on two boats. Even some officials who wanted to make friends with you would not dare to get into trouble, let alone our old acquaintances."

Judging from Mr. Ruan's words, he was paying attention to Chen Mu.

However, Chen Mu's sidelines were a bit weird, which made him dare not visit him rashly. After all, some forces in the Korean and Chinese were involved behind him.

If you are not careful, you can magnify the trouble.

At this moment, I don’t need to worry too much about meeting the other party in the prison for the first time.

Mr. Ruan found a clean stool and sat opposite Chen Mu across the prison railing: "Tell me, why did you break into the imperial tomb?"

"Have you read the statement I presented?" Chen Mu asked.

Mr. Ruan nodded: "Look, you said you were investigating the case in an abandoned house at the entrance of Laoliu Lane in the west area of ​​the outer city, and somehow appeared in the imperial tomb."

"That's right."

Chen Mu rubbed his face and said, "I was framed."

Mr. Ruan said strangely: "Who is the person who framed you? Do you know?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "I don't know yet. I need someone to explain some questions to me now. But I want to know more, is there a way to get out of this place?"

"Not yet, unless you have enough evidence to prove that you were framed."

Mr. Ruan said. "The Tianzhao Prison is not terrifying. Basically, few people are sentenced to death. Most of them come to cooperate with the investigation. However, it is very strict. Neither the Mingwei nor the West Factory can participate. Unless it is specially approved by His Majesty."

Hearing this, Chen Mu pulled out a self-deprecating look at the corner of his lips.

His Majesty’s relationship with him appears to be in harmony, but in fact he doesn’t see each other.

With the empress dowager pressing behind his back, His Majesty did not attack him. Now that such a good opportunity is sent to the other party's gun, it would be strange if His Majesty would release people.

"Mr. Ruan, can you help me arrange a friend to come in?"

Chen Mu made a request.

"I just knew that it would be fine to see you."

Mr. Ruan had a wry smile on his stiff face. "I was still hesitating when I came, but when I thought, if I couldn't help you, that guy Lao Gao would write a letter to scold me again."

Listening to the other party mentioning Gao Yuanchun, a warm current flowed through Chen Mu's heart.

He bowed and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Ruan in advance. This friend is Yun Zhiyue. She can help me solve some problems. Please ask Mr. Ruan to find a way to bring her over."

"I'll try as much as possible."

Mr. Ruan nodded slightly.

After Mr. Ruan left, Chen Mu plunged his hands behind his head and murmured: "A handsome man is indeed not very lucky. Who would have thought that the Censorate also had an acquaintance."

I guess the person behind the scenes didn't expect it.

After a glance at a small spider trying to weave a net in the corner, Chen Mu kicked it over.

"You are not qualified to get me arrested."

——

Fengyuan Palace.

The empress dowager wrapped in a thin shirt, under the light of the beauties, her delicate body is extremely delicate and her soft waist is like willow branches.

She looked down at the document handed over, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Bai Xianyu knelt on the ground, her beautiful face could not hide her anxious expression.

"Looking at your appearance, I thought your husband was about to be beheaded." Looking at Bai Xianyu who could not stand up, the empress dowager curled her lips slightly.

"Empress Dowager, Yu'er asks if you can release your husband first."

Bai Xianyu's beautiful eyes surged a little begging.

"Why release it?"

The queen mother's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning: "This kid Chen Mu finally fell into trouble. Look at how proud he used to be. The Ai family is now very happy."

The woman showed a little girl-like expression, and looked quite gloating.

Chen Mu was so powerful in the past, he was like a god.

In addition, Bai Xianyu always had to blow on her husband, which made the empress dowager a little uneasy.

Now that the other party was caught in the enemy's trick, he suddenly felt a secret joy.

You're also a little bitch.

"The Queen Mother~~"

Bai Xianyu's white head was lowered, and her beautiful eyes said aggrievedly: "My husband was obviously wronged. He was so good, how could he trespass into the imperial tomb?"

"Yes, why did you trespass the imperial tomb?"

The Empress Dowager's beautiful face was a hint of mockery, and her tender little hand raised her hand with Chinese notes. "The Ai family knew that he was wronged, and His Majesty also knew that he was wronged, so why did he lock him in Tianzhao Prison?"

Bai Xianyu remained silent.

I wanted to say the sentence "Your Majesty is taking revenge", but I still didn't dare to say it.

"It's not a trivial matter for Chen Mu to appear in the imperial tomb. The person behind the design and frame him is indeed a bit stunning."

The queen mother's eyes showed a sharp mind and calmness: "Your husband said before that their purpose was to steal 'thing things outside the world' in the sacrificial ceremony. Now that your husband is imprisoned, it is equivalent to clearing an obstacle, but it also shows that the results of Chen Mu's investigation have already made them smell the sense of crisis."

The Queen Mother walked up to Bai Xianyu, helped her up, and said lightly:

"It is impossible to stop the sacrificial ceremony. As for your husband, the Ai family will send someone to His Majesty to find out. Don't worry, he will be fine."

"Empress Dowager." Bai Xianyu said curiously with her pink neck slightly sideways. "Are you not afraid of 'thing things outside the world' being stolen?"

The queen mother narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and her beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to see people's hearts looked directly at Bai Xianyu: "Are you trying to talk from Ai's family?"

"Xiao Yu'er dared not." Bai Xianyu said hurriedly.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, raised her delicate white wrist, and gently stroked Bai Xianyu's beautiful hair like love.

The voice was as cold as the pain: "Your Majesty cares, who knows?"

The woman was stunned.

Looking at Bai Xianyu's flashing eyes, the Queen Mother said lightly: "You'd better not do anything randomly now. If you are impulsive, it may really harm your husband."

"Xiao Yuer understands." Bai Xianyu shook slightly.

Walking out of Fengyuan Palace, the cold night seemed to be covered with white gauze on a woman's body, so pure that it made people feel heart-warming, like a beautiful painting.

Bai Xianyu raised her delicate and beautiful cheeks and looked at the sky.

Although she was not as clever as Chen Mu, she could also notice that the Queen Mother's words just now clearly revealed a trace of information.

The Empress Dowager and His Majesty must have hidden something about the "thing beyond the heaven" under the altar.

But these white silk feathers don't care.

She only cares about her husband.

Although the Empress Dowager is right, Your Majesty will not do anything to your husband. At most, it will be locked up for a while and polish the other party's sharpness.

After the investigation is clear, he will be released.

But when I think of my husband being locked alone in a dark and dilapidated prison cell, and maybe eating rotten food, I feel full of heartache.

"After all, the imperial power is supreme."

Bai Xianyu held her pink fist, and confusion and dullness floated in Zhan Che's eyes.

Even if she is the Suzaku Envoy who holds great power, she cannot save her husband in the face of absolute imperial power, and can only hand over her husband's fate to others.

But if you want absolute freedom, there is only one way-

Let your husband sit on the throne!

Although this idea has appeared before, it has never been as strong as it is now. But even if it is strong, it is still unrealistic.
