The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 135 Meeting the Prince at Baoguang Temple
Hei Mu also took out his purse and pushed it out, saying simply, "Mine."
Wen Rulan put them all in her arms without hesitation, and smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. "Don't worry, shareholders. I will return to Beijing tomorrow to make preparations. At most in a month, Ruyunlou will be well-known in Beijing."
"Ruyun Tower?" Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi, "This is a good name."
This name is taken from one character each of Wen Rulan and Chu Yunxi, which is quite elegant.
Chu Yunxi didn't care about the details, as long as she could make money. Right now, she still had to take care of her own business. "Then let's make a deal. Tomorrow, Senior Brother will return to Beijing first. We will go directly to Baoguang Temple from the other courtyard. We will tell others that we are going to relocate my mother's grave. We will take the opportunity to open the tomb of Concubine Xian and take a look."
No one had any objection.
The next morning, when Chu Yunxi got up, Wen Rulan had already left, leaving her a note, "Making money can't wait."
Chu Yunxi laughed. This senior brother always paid attention to efficiency in his work. It was the same when he was handling cases before. When there were no clues, he would investigate day and night, and it was common for him to even stay up all night. Now that he was planning to open a restaurant, he was still like this.
Xiao Mubei and his men had already prepared the carriage. Since it was related to Empress Xian, Li Bo and Qingxi also went along. Bai Yu also dispatched people from the Dingbei Palace to go with them overnight, saying that they were going to relocate the grave of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
With this legitimate reason, the group came to Nanshan Baoguang Temple in a grand and unreserved manner.
It was almost noon when they arrived at Baoguang Temple. As soon as he got outside the temple, Xiao Mubei saw an acquaintance. There were more than a hundred soldiers holding weapons standing outside the temple. Leading them was the general of the Qianji Camp outside the South City, Hao Peng.
"General Hao, long time no see!" Xiao Mubei got off the carriage and greeted him first.
"It's Prince Dingbei. Long time no see. Are you here to pay respect to Empress Xian today?"
Hao Peng is about forty years old and has a rough appearance. He has been stationed in the Qianji Camp in Nancheng for more than ten years. He is a martial arts expert and a generous person. Before Xiao Mubei joined the Langya Army, he had trained in the Qianji Camp and got along well with Hao Peng. Hao Peng also taught Xiao Mubei a few moves at the beginning.
Xiao Mubei helped Chu Yunxi out of the carriage and said, "The case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion has been determined to be an unjust case. Today, I am here with the princess to move the remains of the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis back to the Chu family's ancestral tomb."
"So that's how it is. I've also heard about General Chu, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. What a pity! Fortunately, King Jingyuan has been executed, and my hatred has been avenged. My princess, please accept my condolences." Hao Peng bowed to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi returned the greeting, "I would also like to thank General Hao."
This time, we followed the prince to suppress the rebels of Prince Jingyuan, and the Qianji Camp was among them. Hao Peng also killed many rebels. Baiyu Heimu has already reported in detail.
Hao Peng was humble again, and Xiao Mubei asked, "General Hao is here today, so I guess His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in Baoguang Temple now?"
Hao Peng nodded and looked towards the temple. "I was escorting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the capital. We passed by Baoguang Temple. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that although Prince Jingyuan had committed serious crimes, he was still his brother after all. So he came here to offer a long-burning lamp for him, hoping that he could realize his mistakes and be an upright and kind person in the next life. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too kind-hearted."
Hao Peng sighed, but his eyes were full of admiration for the prince. Chu Yunxi saw Hao Peng's reaction and thought that the prince was a very capable person. He was able to win people's hearts and minds, and he did everything perfectly.
Although she has not met the prince yet, from the news she has heard from various channels, Chu Yunxi has two judgments about the prince. The first is that he is very scheming and has superb acting skills, and he has deceived everyone. The second is that the prince is really as the rumors say, kind, merciful, loyal, and loyal.
Chu Yunxi is more inclined to the first judgment, for no other reason than intuition. Of course, she doesn’t know whether her impression will change after meeting him.
Xiao Mubei also enshrined the eternal lamp of Empress Xian in Baoguang Temple. After bidding farewell to Hao Peng, Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi, Baiyu and Heimu went to burn incense for Empress Xian first.
When they entered the hall, they happened to meet Crown Prince Xiao Zimo coming out. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi stepped forward to pay their respects. Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Zimo vaguely. Xiao Zimo had a slender figure and was about forty years old. Although his face was still handsome, he looked a little more vicissitudes of life than Xiao Mubei.
I heard that Xiao Zimo has been the crown prince for twenty years.
It has been said since ancient times that what an emperor fears most is ascending the throne late in life, and what a prince fears most is being just a prince for many years.
Xiao Zimo is the eldest son and the legitimate son of Emperor Sui Ming. His status is legitimate and beyond reproach. He is a humble, loyal and honest person, so he has been sitting firmly on the throne of crown prince for so many years. However, he is only a crown prince, not the emperor.
Seeing Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, Xiao Zimo immediately put on a gentle smile, "Old Eight, you are here too. This is the Eighth Princess, right?"
Chu Yunxi bowed politely, "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite, we are all family. I have also heard about your family's affairs. General Chu served the country loyally, but it was a pity that he was framed by my useless third brother. Alas! As his elder brother, I apologize to you on his behalf."
Xiao Zimo bowed to Chu Yunxi, who knelt down hurriedly, "How dare I apologize in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Regardless of whether Xiao Zimo was sincere or not, his kung fu was really good, and Chu Yunxi once again deepened this impression in her heart.
Xiao Mubei helped Chu Yunxi up, "Brother, we are here today to move my mother-in-law's grave. You are very busy, so we won't waste your time."
Xiao Zimo was indeed in a hurry to return to the capital, so he said, "I just lit a long-burning lamp for the third brother, and also paid homage to Empress Xian. I will return to the capital now, and will not wait for you. After this busy period, you and I will meet again, brothers."
"Farewell to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Zimo waved his hand and walked away without looking back. Chu Yunxi stood up and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is indeed not simple."
"My eldest brother and I have never been close since we were young. Maybe it's because of the big age gap. But when he saw me when I was a child, he would hug me every time. That's all."
Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi burned incense for Concubine Xian. This was Chu Yunxi's first time to pay tribute to Concubine Xian. She kowtowed eight times sincerely and whispered, "Concubine Xian, Yunxi will be disrespectful and will open your coffin for an autopsy. If you have any grievances, you can tell me. The prince and I are here. We will definitely help you find the real culprit. Please don't blame the prince. He has felt very guilty over the years."
Xiao Mubei was kneeling beside Chu Yunxi. He heard everything clearly and felt a pang in his heart. For so many years, no one knew the hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over. It was that he didn't find out earlier that Empress Xian was ill, didn't stay by her side, and didn't see her for the last time.
