Chu Yunxi was in high spirits, and her pony ran quite fast, but Xiao Mubei still had no trouble catching up with her.

After leaving the city, Chu Yunxi didn't know the way. Although she had been to the villa twice, she took a carriage both times and Chu Yunxi couldn't see the road.

So it became Xiao Mubei in front and Chu Yunxi behind, and the two of them rode their horses together and galloped on the official road outside the city.

The weather in September was neither too cold nor too hot, with a gentle breeze blowing on her face and half-yellow leaves, creating a unique mood. Chu Yunxi felt that the pressure in her heart was reduced a lot, and her mood became more relaxed, especially when she thought about the roasted whole lamb that would be served later, she couldn't wait to get to the villa.

The population was becoming increasingly sparse, and the trees were becoming increasingly lush. As the two were running, a man in black suddenly descended from a tree and landed just in front of Chu Yunxi's horse.

Chu Yunxi was startled and hurriedly stopped her horse. The pony neighed, raised its front hooves and stopped abruptly. However, because Chu Yunxi's riding skills were not mature enough, she screamed and fell off the horse when the pony stood up.

Xiao Mubei did not sense any murderous intent, so he only discovered it when the person fell. He stopped urgently and turned around to save Chu Yunxi, but it was too late.

Chu Yunxi thought that she would have close contact with the ground now, so she closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come. Unexpectedly, a big hand suddenly pressed against her waist, pushing her to turn a circle, and then landing steadily on the ground.

There was a chuckle in my ear, and a deep voice said, "You are still so impatient."

Chu Yunxi was confused and uncertain. This voice sounded familiar, but not so familiar. She turned around and saw a smile in those eyes. She hesitated and said, "You are... the secret guard of King Jingyuan?"

Xiao Mubei had also come over. Upon hearing this, he immediately protected Chu Yunxi behind him and became alert.

The man shrugged. "Once, sort of."

Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "Your Highness, he was the one who released me that day, he should have no ill intentions."

Xiao Mubei did not feel threatened. People who practiced martial arts were usually sensitive to danger, and the person in front of him did not give off a dangerous aura.

Chu Yunxi couldn’t figure out what this person meant by “still so irritable”. Could it be that... Also, this person’s voice was clearly hoarse that night, so why did it become deep now?

She took two steps forward and asked, "Who are you?"

Today, this man was not wearing a black scarf. He had a resolute look. He was not handsome, but he had deep facial features and was very attractive.

At this moment, he had a slight smile on his face and a lazy expression. The little shrug he just did and the tone of his voice all made Chu Yunxi feel very familiar. However, because of the different appearance, she found it hard to believe that such an incredible thing could happen.

The man looked at him and said slowly, "Xiao Chuchu, I haven't seen you for more than two months, and you don't even recognize me, Senior Brother?"

Chu Yunxi felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. Was it really him?

"Senior... Senior Brother? Senior Brother Wen?"

The man nodded slowly, a huge joy rushed into his heart. Chu Yunxi suddenly screamed, which scared Xiao Mubei. But then Chu Yunxi rushed up like a gust of wind, hugged Senior Brother Wen's neck, laughing and jumping.

He was mumbling, "Oh my God, I can't believe it, Senior Brother, it's really you, Oh my God, I... I don't know how to describe my current mood, Senior Brother, how come you are here, you even found me... I..."

She started crying as she spoke.

Wen Rulan, the leader of the detective team of the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau, was Chu Yunxi's senior in college and also her good brother. When they were in the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau, he was in charge of investigating cases and she was in charge of forensics. Chu Yunxi learned a lot of knowledge about investigating cases from Wen Rulan.

Wen Rulan patted her on the back and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk about these things later. Where are you going now?"

Chu Yunxi only then remembered Xiao Mubei, and hurriedly turned around to pull him over, introducing him, "Your Highness, this is my senior brother, Wen Rulan, he is a detective, if you have any difficult cases in the future, you can always ask him. Senior brother, this is Dingbei King Xiao Mubei, the eighth son of the current emperor, and now the Minister of the Dali Temple."

Xiao Mubei just saw Chu Yunxi hugging Wen Rulan's neck, and he felt uncomfortable. Even if he is a senior brother, he should pay attention to the differences between men and women.

Listening to Chu Yunxi's introduction, he reluctantly clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wen."

I have never heard Chu Yunxi talk about her master. Where did this senior brother come from? Does he have some ulterior motive?

Wen Rulan had been investigating cases for many years, and at this moment he was not as excited as Chu Yunxi. He could tell Xiao Mubei's indifference at a glance. He knew the reason, but he was not prepared to explain. He saluted Xiao Mubei, "Your Majesty."

Only Chu Yunxi was too excited and didn't notice anything wrong. She pulled Wen Rulan and said, "Come on, follow us to the other courtyard. We must have a good chat tonight and talk all night long."

Xiao Mubei's expression changed again. Wen Rulan felt amused and said calmly, "Okay."

The question is, how to ride with only two horses?

Chu Yunxi generously handed the reins of the red pony to Wen Rulan, "Brother, you ride my horse. The prince and I can just ride one horse."

Wen Rulan did not refuse, took the reins, and said to Xiao Mubei: "In that case, I will trouble you to take me for a ride."

Xiao Mubei was a little happy when he heard Chu Yunxi say that she wanted to ride with him, but when he heard Wen Rulan say that, it seemed that he was the one who was more familiar with Chu Yunxi. He immediately felt uncomfortable and said stiffly: "I will take care of my princess. Don't worry about it, Brother Wen."

Wen Rulan smiled but didn't say anything. Chu Yunxi then realized something was wrong and tilted her head to look at Xiao Mubei, "My Lord, are you angry?"

"No, why should I be angry?" Xiao Mubei jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand, "Why don't you leave?"

Chu Yunxi spread her hands towards Wen Rulan, indicating that she didn't know what was wrong with him, and he was not like this usually.

Wen Rulan knew it well and signaled to Chu Yunxi with her eyes that he was fine. Chu Yunxi then took Xiao Mubei's hand and got on the horse.

Naturally, Xiao Mubei saw the flirting between the two of them. He was very unhappy. As soon as Chu Yunxi came up, he immediately spurred his horse to hurry up. Chu Yunxi was caught off guard and fell into his arms. She struggled for a long time before sitting down. He wanted to ask a question, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was filled with wind. He had to give up and go to the other courtyard to ask again.

Wen Rulan was actually following behind on her pony, and didn't get left behind all the way.

Finally, they arrived at the villa before dark. Qingxi had been waiting at the gate of the villa. When she saw Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, her eyes lit up immediately and she greeted them happily, "Prince, Princess, you are finally here. Uncle Li has prepared the roasted whole lamb."
