The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 121 Kidnapping
When Chu Yunxi heard “use the sound that cats like”, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes and an idea gradually took shape in her mind.
"So how long does it usually take for this kind of training to be effective?"
Xie Fei thought for a moment and said, "If it is trained by an experienced person, it will take about two months."
It only takes two months. Two months ago, Prince Jingyuan began to plot against Xiao Mubei and Marquis Zhongyong. Perhaps at the same time, the palace also took action and began to design a fatal strategy against the retired emperor. The timing of these two events coincides. Is it a coincidence or is there a connection?
After Xie Fei left, it was already dark. Chu Yunxi still had to give acupuncture to Yue Yanran and had to return to the palace. Xiao Mubei had been in the palace for the past two days and had accumulated some official business to deal with, so he asked Bai Yu to send Chu Yunxi back.
It was a little early today, so Chu Yunxi was thinking about going shopping. She had been here for nearly two months, but she had gone shopping only a few times. She was always busy with things to do every day. The capital was so prosperous, but she had never had a good time shopping.
In a few days, she will go to Li Jinghong's home to visit Li's mother. Chu Yunxi thinks it is not appropriate to go empty-handed, so she has to buy some gifts for Li's mother.
So when passing by the bustling Jingmao Street, Chu Yunxi stopped the carriage and got off to walk back.
Jingmao Street is only two streets away from Dingbei Palace. This street can be regarded as the most prosperous street in the capital. It has restaurants, shops, banks, jewelry stores, clothing stores and wine shops. They usually close at 15:30 in the evening.
Chu Yunxi seized this rare opportunity to make two more sets of clothes for herself and buy some facial cream. Although the palace had everything, they were prepared by others after all and were not quite to Chu Yunxi's liking.
After visiting a rouge shop and a jewelry store, she bought a set of top-quality purple clay tea sets for Li's mother and carefully selected some medicinal teas suitable for her so that she could make tea and drink it every day when she had nothing to do, slowly regulating her body and maintaining her health step by step.
Bai Yu followed behind Chu Yunxi, already holding a bunch of things in his hands.
When women buy things, no matter if they have money or not, they are terrible.
Chu Yunxi now works as a coroner in the Dali Temple and receives a monthly salary. Now she is also the concubine of Prince Dingbei, and according to the law she also receives a monthly salary. So she is not so tight on money anymore, and she is not so cautious about spending it. The most important thing is that she does not have much time to spend money.
Chu Yunxi finally entered the clothing shop. The owner of the shop did not know Chu Yunxi, but seeing that the clothes she wore were not complicated in style but made of excellent materials, he knew that she was also a distinguished guest, so he hurriedly came out to introduce her.
Chu Yunxi didn't know much about fabrics, she could only tell whether they looked good or not. She looked at some ready-made garments, picked out two and asked, "Boss, do you have any cheap and good quality fabrics? Can you show them to me? I want to make these two styles."
The shopkeeper was stunned. How could this be out of the ordinary? Usually, for such distinguished guests, shouldn't they ask him to bring out his best fabrics?
Chu Yunxi glanced at him calmly and asked, "Why, no?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper had eight hundred thoughts running through his mind at this moment. The man in front of him was accompanied by guards, and the guards were well dressed, so his purchasing power should not be bad. The shopkeeper believed in his own judgment.
While the shopkeeper went in to get the cloth, Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu, "Do you need any clothes? How about you pick one and I'll give it to you?"
Bai Yu was also stunned, and hurriedly shook his head, "No need, Princess. The mansion will make new clothes for me every quarter, and I don't lack clothes."
“Okay then.” Chu Yunxi didn’t force it. When she went shopping with her colleagues before, everyone bought their own things, which was normal in her eyes.
She wondered whether she should make one for Xiao Mubei as well, but then she thought again, he is the King of Dingbei, and she doesn't know if there are any rules or requirements for dressing. She doesn't understand either, so she should ask him next time when she is with him, to avoid making one for him that he can't wear and wasting money.
Bai Yu understood Chu Yunxi's situation. The princess never spent the prince's money, but her own monthly salary. She still thought of him. He was very touched. He would talk to the prince when he returned and ask him to find a way to subsidize the princess' monthly salary.
The shopkeeper heard Bai Yu's name behind the curtain and almost lost his balance. Princess? The one outside was actually a princess? But why would a princess buy cheap material for her clothes?
But he was also glad that he had good foresight. Maybe this was some new rule in the officialdom? Saving money? Was the treasury empty? Oh my god, was there going to be another war?
In just a few steps, the shopkeeper thought of national affairs from a title.
Chu Yunxi picked out two colors that suited her eyes and decided on the ones she thought were priced right. The shopkeeper was more certain of his guess when he saw that the princess did not choose the expensive ones.
"Please move to the inner hall and let my wife measure your size. Brother, please wait outside the hall."
Chu Yunxi walked in, Bai Yu piled all the things on the table and sat down. The shopkeeper brought a cup of tea. Bai Yu shook his arms. Don’t say it, even though they are all small things, it is quite tiring to hold them for a long time.
Before he finished his cup of tea, there was a "bang" sound coming from the inner hall, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. Bai Yu's face changed, and he threw the teacup away and ran into the inner hall in a flash.
The shopkeeper heard the noise and ran in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman lying on the ground. The others had disappeared. The shopkeeper immediately cried out, "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"
When Bai Yu came in, he just saw a figure flashing out very quickly, with a person on his shoulder. Judging from the color of her clothes, it was Chu Yunxi. She was lying there limply, without any sound.
Bai Yu's heart was shocked. If something happened to Chu Yunxi, not to mention what would happen to the prince, he would not be able to get over it himself.
After the man broke into the backyard, he leaped up to the roof with extraordinary martial arts skills. Bai Yu followed closely behind him. Only after he reached the roof could he see clearly that the man in front of him was very tall and thin. He was wearing a black nightgown with his head and face covered. Chu Yunxi was carried on his shoulders with her hands and feet hanging down, and she was obviously unconscious.
Bai Yu took a deep breath and rushed forward. Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from in front of him. He braked suddenly and leaned back. Two caltrops flew past his face. When he stood up again, there were two more people in front of him, and the person carrying Chu Yunxi in the distance had disappeared.
Bai Yu was extremely anxious and attacked without saying a word, while at the same time sending a signal to summon Hei Mu. Both of them were good at martial arts, and their purpose seemed to be just to stop Bai Yu from catching up, so they did not fight him head-on, but just dodged and dragged Bai Yu.
