The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi said, "It was Prince Anyang who made the mistake. The Imperial Concubine cannot blame anyone. If she has to blame someone, she can only blame herself for not disciplining Prince Anyang strictly since he was a child, which led to him becoming what he is today."

"But the Imperial Concubine wouldn't think so," Xiao Mubei shook his head, "Father said to hand over Hu Tianyu and Lin Haifu to me and deal with them according to the law."

Xiao Mubei paused and said, "Yunxi, according to the law, both of them should be executed, but if Lin Haifu is executed like this, it would be too easy for him. Since it was because of him that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion was raided, I want to spare his life for now. When the truth of the Marquis Mansion case comes to light, I will use him to commemorate the Marquis and the soldiers of my Langya Army who died because of him."

Chu Yunxi nodded heavily, and her eyes couldn't help but tear up when she thought of the tragic situation that happened to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery when she first arrived.

Xiao Mubei was about to say something else when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Xiao Mubei's face changed. Chu Yunxi hadn't heard it yet. Seeing Xiao Mubei's face change, she asked, "What's wrong with you..."

The footsteps had stopped outside the door, and Bai Yu's voice rang out, "My Lord, the palace urgently summons you!"

Xiao Mubei stood up suddenly, and Chu Yunxi stood up as well. Xiao Mubei took a few steps to the door and asked, "What happened in the palace?"

"It is said that..." Bai Yu hesitated, "The emperor is not good."

Xiao Mubei's body swayed, and Chu Yunxi hurriedly supported him from behind and asked, "What disease did the emperor have?"

"The imperial physician said... it's wheezing. It's been there for years, and it wasn't a big deal. How come it suddenly..." Xiao Mubei was so agitated that he couldn't continue. He grew up with the retired emperor and was much closer to this grandfather than to his father.

His grandfather conquered the world on horseback. He personally taught Xiao Mubei martial arts since he was a child, told him stories about the battlefield, and taught him the principles of being a king. It was also his grandfather who sent him to the Langya Army and to the hands of Marquis Zhongyong, and personally pointed out Chu Yunxi, the youngest daughter of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, to him!

If it weren't for my grandfather, Chu Yunxi's life would have been difficult to save. It was because it was my grandfather who arranged the marriage that Emperor Sui Ming considered it again and again and agreed to spare Chu Yunxi's life and let her enter the Dingbei Palace as a concubine.

Chu Yunxi had heard about this matter, and she also knew how important the position of the emperor was in Xiao Mubei's heart. Seeing that Xiao Mubei was a little confused, she knew that he was worried and confused, so she made a quick decision and said, "Bai Yu, prepare the car. I will accompany the prince to the palace immediately!"

Bai Yu immediately responded and left. Chu Yunxi said firmly: "Your Majesty, let's go quickly. If we are lucky, I may be able to save the emperor. If it is too late..."

She didn't say anything else, but Xiao Mubei understood what she meant. He suddenly realized something and immediately put his arms around Chu Yunxi's waist and used his lightness skills to get to the gate of Dali Temple.

Bai Yu was fast enough and had already driven the carriage to the door. Xiao Mubei took Chu Yunxi directly into the carriage, and Bai Yu whipped the horse without stopping.

In the carriage, Chu Yunxi took out the medicine box and asthma medicine, gathered the necessary things together, and prepared for first aid.

The carriage arrived at the palace gate. Xiao Mubei didn't wait for the carriage to stop, but pulled Chu Yunxi out and ran. The emperor lived in Yongshou Palace at the southernmost part of the palace, which was some distance away from the palace gate. After running for a while, Xiao Mubei became anxious, so he put his arm around Chu Yunxi's waist again and performed his lightness skills.

He arrived at Yongshou Palace as quickly as possible. Palace maids and nannies were already kneeling on the ground at the gate of the palace, and faint cries could be heard from the palace. Xiao Mubei was even more frightened. He ignored the rules and rushed in without waiting for the order.

Concubines and princes were also kneeling in the palace, and in the front stood two bright yellow figures, who were Emperor Sui Ming and Empress Yuan.

Empress Yuan was wiping her tears and turned around when she heard the voice. This was a graceful and elegant woman with the most noble status. She was also very beautiful. Although she was not young, she was well maintained and her temperament was outstanding.

Seeing it was Xiao Mubei, she choked up and greeted him, "Old Eight, come and see your royal grandfather. He loves you the most. Come and see him off."

Xiao Mubei turned a deaf ear to her and just pulled Chu Yunxi forward. Yuan Shi wiped her tears again and whispered, "This child deserves the emperor's love for him. He is so sad."

Emperor Sui Ming looked at Chu Yunxi and followed Xiao Mubei forward, frowned, and scolded: "Old Eight!"

Xiao Mubei paused, turned back and knelt down, saying: "Father, Yunxi is proficient in medicine, let her see Grandfather, maybe there is still hope."

"Nonsense, there are so many imperial doctors here, what does a woman like her have to do with it?" Emperor Sui Ming said unhappily.

At this time, a group of imperial doctors surrounded the bed of the retired emperor, but most of them were kneeling on the ground. Through the gauze curtain, one could see an old man lying on the bed with weak breathing. An imperial doctor was kneeling in front of the bed, taking his pulse, shaking his head and sighing constantly.

Xiao Mubei was still arguing with Emperor Sui Ming, "Father, please let Yunxi try. Have you forgotten that when I came back, even Doctor Lu said that I was beyond saving. It was Yunxi who saved me at all costs. I believe in her medical skills. Please let Yunxi try."

Chu Yunxi also knelt on the ground and looked up at Emperor Sui Ming. This man looked old, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes drooping. He had an aura of majesty without even being angry. However, when Chu Yunxi thought of how he failed to distinguish right from wrong and confiscated the property of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, she could no longer respect him.

Emperor Sui Ming still didn't believe that a woman's medical skills could be better than the imperial physicians in the palace, but what Xiao Mubei said was true. He looked at the imperial physicians kneeling on the ground in front of him, and thought of what they had just told him, that the emperor was terminally ill and there was no way to save him. If he insisted on not letting Chu Yunxi see him at this moment, people might think that he was unwilling to save the emperor.

So he said coldly: "Chu Yunxi, are you sure?"

Chu Yunxi's voice was emotionless, "No."

"You..." Emperor Sui Ming did not expect her to answer so straightforwardly, and his face suddenly turned cold, "How dare you!"

Xiao Mubei tightened his grip on Chu Yunxi's hand. He had not expected that Chu Yunxi would actually speak to his father in this way. Although he knew that Chu Yunxi had no good feelings towards his father, he could not cause any trouble at this time and place.

Chu Yunxi could sense Xiao Mubei's mood. She shook his hand with her backhand, signaling him to rest assured. She raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, I am just telling the truth. For the emperor, the most precious thing now is time. I am indeed unsure, but I will do my best to save the emperor. However, if your majesty does not make a decision, please forgive me for being powerless."

"Are you saying that I'm wasting time?" Emperor Sui Ming looked at Chu Yunxi in disbelief, not daring to believe what he heard. The entire palace was so quiet at this moment that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard, and no one dared to even breathe.
