Chu Yunxi felt extremely depressed. She was so unlucky that she had to get married to save her life. After all, she had skills and abilities, and she was a secret agent in her previous life. If she really ran away, she might be able to escape.

For a moment, Chu Yunxi wanted to just run away without caring about anything. At worst, she would die again. It was not like she had died before.

But after calming down, I felt that I should still cherish this rare opportunity to start over, after all, there might not be another next time.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi ate two mouthfuls of food and went to find Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei was also eating. After he went back, he did not lie in bed again. He had been lying in bed too much recently. Now that he was down, he decided to sit for a while.

Bai Yu Hei Mu was waiting on the side, and when he saw Chu Yunxi, he lowered his head and said, "The girl is here."

Chu Yunxi responded, sat down opposite Xiao Mubei, and said, "I promise you."

Xiao Mubei was still sipping the soup. Today, Chu Yunxi asked the kitchen to let him eat some nourishing soup, so Butler Ling specially simmered the black chicken soup over low heat for a day. He kept Chu Yunxi's instructions in mind and replenished Xiao Mubei's qi and blood.

Chu Yunxi stared at Xiao Mubei drinking soup and thought he was so elegant. She didn't know if the words "a feast for the eyes" were appropriate to describe a man, but she just felt that these four words suited him. He was worthy of being a prince. Compared with him, she seemed too rude when eating.

After finishing a bowl of soup, Xiao Mubei wiped it with a towel, then looked up at her and asked, "What did you say?"

Chu Yunxi came back to her senses, and hurriedly sat up straight, and said in a negotiating tone: "I said, I agree to be the Princess of Dingbei, but I have a few conditions."

Xiao Mubei frowned, "You seem to have made a mistake. I made you the Princess of Dingbei to save your life."

"I know, but if the prince doesn't agree to my conditions, I would rather go out and be captured and strangled by the Royal Guards than be the Princess of Dingbei." Chu Yunxi was very determined.

Bai Yu and Hei Mu didn't dare to say a word. Why was the third young lady of the Chu family always on the brink of death?

But Xiao Mubei didn't seem angry, instead he said calmly: "Tell me about it."

"First, we are only a fake couple, not a real couple. After two years, you have to give me my freedom."

Xiao Mubei didn't comment, just looked at her, "What about the second one?"

"Second, I can help you do things, like Baiyu, Heimu, Zihan and the others, but you can't keep me in the palace. Also, you have to pay me a monthly salary for my work."

Xiao Mubei raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked, "What can you do?"

"There are many, such as curing diseases and saving lives, performing autopsies and reasoning, testing poisons and finding antidotes, etc." Chu Yunxi blinked her eyes. She was still very useful.

"Is there a third one?"

"Third, you can't force me to do something I don't want to do, but I won't refuse your orders casually, unless it touches my bottom line, then I will refuse."

Xiao Mubei thought for a while and said, "First, what if you don't want to leave after two years? For example, you fall in love with me."

Baiyu and Hei Mu retreated silently. They might not be suitable for close service.

Chu Yunxi was dumbfounded. Is this person so narcissistic?

"Ahem, if you are so confident, the two-year agreement can be cancelled. However, I would like to remind Your Highness in advance that I have very high requirements for my future husband."

Xiao Mubei said: "It is also possible that you cannot meet the requirements of Princess Dingbei?"

Chu Yunxi was speechless, "Your Majesty, let's analyze this issue on a case-by-case basis. Let's talk about the second point."

"There are no problems with the second and third items, but what about the fourth item?"

"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell Your Highness when I do." Chu Yunxi took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down the three points.

"Words are not enough, so let's write it down as proof. Please sign it, Your Highness." Chu Yunxi slapped the written document in front of Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei looked at the beautiful handwriting in front of him, raised his head and asked, "What kind of pen did you use?"

"Gang... Oh, it's a pen I made myself. I'm not very good at using a brush." ​​Chu Yunxi wiped the sweat off her forehead. It was so easy for her to take things out of the Liyue bracelet. Fortunately, she took it from under the table, so she could explain that she had put it in her sleeve before.

Xiao Mubei did not take the pen she handed over, but said: "Don't worry, since you have put forward conditions, it must be fair for both parties to put forward conditions. You must also agree to my conditions before I can sign."

What he said made sense, so Chu Yunxi had no choice but to ask, "Then I wonder what the prince's conditions are?"

"First, the fake couple's relationship cannot be known to anyone in the mansion, except Bai Yu and Hei Mu. Second, the monthly salary is ten taels of silver. If you do well, there will be additional rewards. Third, when necessary, the identity of Princess Dingbei must be concealed from the outside world. Fourth..."

"Stop, I'm going to propose three, and you can't have more than three." Chu Yunxi protested.

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Okay, then, just three points. Do you have any objections?"

"No." Chu Yunxi agreed readily, wrote it down quickly, signed her name, and pushed it to Xiao Mubei.

"Grinding." Xiao Mubei didn't take the pen she handed over.

Hei Mu, who was very observant, immediately saw the situation, handed the brush to Xiao Mubei, and stood aside to grind it.

Xiao Mubei also signed his name. Chu Yunxi took it and blew the ink dry, then carefully put it away. She stretched lazily with a sense of relief, "Okay, I'm no longer a criminal."

"I will enter the palace in three days." Xiao Mubei said this and asked Baiyu Heimu to help him rest. Chu Yunxi seemed to see that the corners of his lips seemed to be slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Maybe he was happy because he could see his father, Chu Yunxi guessed. What a pity. His father should be the enemy of the original owner, but who dares to regard the emperor as an enemy? At most, she could vindicate the loyal and brave Marquis in the future and say "I was deceived by others". What could she do? The only pitiful thing was the original owner's family, who were slaughtered.

She could only find a way to find out who framed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and give him justice. As for the others, the dead were gone. In the future, she would bring back the remains of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's father and son and bury them with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's wife so that the family could be reunited. She believed that their spirits in heaven would be able to rest in peace.

Xiao Mubei's injuries healed quickly. Two days later, his injuries had basically healed completely. Chu Yunxi stopped taking the anti-inflammatory drugs and examined his head carefully, but there were no problems or sequelae. Now, except for the poison, all other injuries have been completely healed.

Doctor Lu also took Xiao Mubei's pulse again. Apart from the fact that his blood and qi were still a little weak, there were no other problems. Doctor Lu couldn't help but sigh again, it's true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward!

Zi Han has been secretly investigating the drug stores and clinics in the north of the city these past two days. After two days of hard work, she finally got some clues.
