Chu Yunxi couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she tugged at Wen Rulan's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "He and I are a fake couple, I had to do this to save my life."

"Really?" Wen Rulan frowned, "But I don't think he treats you fakely."

"We've only known each other for two months, there's no rush."

The two of them were whispering. Xiao Mubei had inner strength, so he could hear everything clearly. He smiled softly and swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp, "I wish to find a person who loves me and we will be together till we grow old together."

Chu Yunxi was stunned. He was a prince. Didn't he know how much he would be forced to do in the future? How could he make such a promise so easily?

But his words were very skillful. It was not certain whether this devoted person was her. On the other hand, if the two of them really had a mutual understanding, then this could be regarded as his promise to her.

In life, it’s better to be a little confused.

Wen Rulan naturally understood this truth, and stopped questioning Xiao Mubei. She picked up the wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, come and drink."

Uncle Li divided the roasted whole lamb into plates. Xiao Mubei, Wen Rulan and Chu Yunxi drank and talked happily. They were very happy. After they stopped discussing their relationship, Chu Yunxi asked Wen Rulan why he became a secret guard in Prince Jingyuan's Palace?

Wen Rulan frowned, "When I came here, I was already a secret guard of Jingyuan Palace. I was seriously injured at that time. It was Su Mochen who saved my life. I promised to help him do three things as a reward for saving my life. Kidnapping you is the third thing."

Xiao Mubei didn't quite understand what it meant that I was already a secret guard of Prince Jingyuan's Palace when I arrived?

Chu Yunxi knew very well what this meant. Both of them had traveled through time and space in their souls, but their bodies were still people here. It was estimated that the owner of Wen Rulan's body had died when he was seriously injured, so Wen Rulan had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Chu Yunxi had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but with Xiao Mubei around, it was not convenient for her to ask. Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan were not familiar with each other, so naturally he would not ask too many questions.

After eating and drinking, Chu Yunxi told Xiao Mubei that she hadn't seen her senior brother for a long time, so she wanted to have a good chat with him, and then she pulled Wen Rulan back to the room.

As soon as she got back, she couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, what happened? How did you travel through time?"

Wen Rulan sighed, "It's all because of you."

"because I?"

Chu Yunxi escaped from the Black Prison and encountered an explosion, leaving no trace. Everyone in the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau was shocked. However, what was even more unacceptable was that the head of the detective team, Wen Rulan, also died in the explosion, and her body was also not found.

When Chu Yunxi was on a mission, she infiltrated the gang and obtained confidential intelligence. However, she was discovered while delivering the intelligence. She tried her best to deliver the intelligence, but was caught and thrown into a black prison.

The Special Medical Bureau has been organizing a rescue operation, and the rescue team is led by Wen Rulan. However, the other party's defenses are too tight and they have never found a breakthrough.

Wen Rulan took great pains and finally found the loophole in the other party's defense. That night, he successfully lured out all the guards. While other colleagues scattered around to deal with that group of people, he rushed to the Black Prison alone to rescue Chu Yunxi.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunxi was also trying to save herself in prison. Thanks to Wen Rulan's arrangements outside, she finally managed to walk out of the prison. Wen Rulan also rushed to the prison at that time. So, in the explosion, the two of them didn't even see each other, and they turned to ashes together and came here.

Chu Yunxi really didn't expect that Wen Rulan was killed in the explosion at the same time as herself, and came to this time and space together, but one of them fell on Chu Yunxi, the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the other fell on Wen Rulan, the secret guard of the Prince of Jingyuan's Mansion.

"I was seriously injured when I came here, and it took me more than a month to recover. After I recovered, I found that my body was very good, and I could use it directly. I also found that King Jingyuan was not on the right path. I planned to leave. Su Mochen, the man who interrogated you that day, used the grace of saving his life to blackmail me morally and asked me to do three more things for him. He promised to return my freedom after I finished the three things."

Wen Rulan smiled bitterly, "I have been recovering from my injuries for more than a month. I knew nothing about what was happening outside. I didn't even know that the concubine of King Dingbei was called Chu Yunxi. It was that day, after I kidnapped you, that I vaguely heard your name outside. I was thinking at the time, it can't be such a coincidence. Later, when you came out, I saw that you looked similar to before, but different. Your face was still swollen at the time, so I was not sure. You said that you knocked down the three people inside by yourself, so I became suspicious. After you left, I went in to check on the three of them and found the needles shot from your crossbow. I was sure that it must be you."

Chu Yunxi finally resolved her doubts and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have killed you."

"It has nothing to do with you," Wen Rulan smiled and touched Chu Yunxi's head. "You will not be alone here in the future. I have been observing you in the dark these days. Except for the time when I didn't go into the palace, I was basically here at other times. King Dingbei treats you well."

"You've been here these past few days, but Baiyu Heimu didn't even notice you?" Chu Yunxi was surprised. Baiyu Heimu's kung fu is already very good, so doesn't that mean Wen Rulan is an expert among experts?

"This body's martial arts skills are pretty good, and its internal strength is also strong, but it was previously unable to distinguish right from wrong, and helped King Jingyuan do a lot of bad things in secret, wasting all its skills."

Prince Jingyuan actually secretly recruited such a master. Fortunately, he was taken over by Wen Rulan, otherwise, if he stayed with Prince Jingyuan, I'm afraid he would do something weird again.

Chu Yunxi also told Wen Rulan about what happened in the past two months, and finally said: "Prince Jingyuan can no longer jump around now, and you have fulfilled your promise to that person. From now on, you can stay with me in Dingbei Palace, or I will ask the prince to find a position for you in the Dali Temple, and you can go back to your old job like me."

Wen Rulan laughed, but he shook his head, "Chu Chu, I can't stay in Dingbei Palace. After all, this body of mine once belonged to King Jingyuan. King Dingbei won't be at ease, and we can't explain it clearly. And I don't want to live under the suspicious eyes of others."

Chu Yunxi knew that what he said was the truth. As the proud leader of the detective team, he had already felt very wronged after working as a secret guard for two months. How could he continue to be guarded like a thief every day?

"So, what are your plans?" Chu Yunxi was a little nervous. She felt like she had finally found her relatives, but was about to lose them.

Wen Rulan smiled, "Don't worry, I won't leave. You are my only relative here, and I won't be too far away from you. Have you forgotten that besides solving cases, I also have special skills?"

"Cooking!" Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up. She almost forgot that when she was at work, she loved to go to her senior brother's house for meals. The meals cooked by her senior brother were no worse than those in big restaurants.
