The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi naturally knew that Chu Zhongxi was doing this for her own good, so she comforted him and said that she would consider it carefully.

They had dinner at the Marquis' Mansion in the evening. Chu Zhongxi asked the cook to prepare a large table of dishes, saying that this was the first meal he would have with his family at home after returning, so it must be grand.

Xiao Mubei came uninvited and even asked Bai Yu to bring a lot of gifts. He also brought a piece of news. Emperor Sui Ming issued an order to let Chu Zhongxi attend the morning court tomorrow morning.

Chu Zhongxi paused slightly when he heard the news. Chu Yunxi could see that he didn't really want to go to court. Now there were only two of them, brother and sister, in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. The main reason was that Emperor Sui Ming listened to one side and believed it. It was difficult for them to have no grudges.

But the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so Chu Zhongxi had to agree.

Xiao Mubei also understood his feelings. He took out a jar of good wine he brought with him and said, "In the end, it was me who let down the Marquis' Mansion and the Marquis, and it was also my father who let down the Chu family. I apologize to you on behalf of my father. If you have any grievances, you can come to me. We won't go home until we are drunk today, but at the morning court tomorrow, I would like to ask my second brother to be patient and consider the future of himself, Yunxi, and the Marquis' Mansion."

After Xiao Mubei said this, Chu Zhongxi didn't know what to say, so he could only pick up the wine glass and said, "I understand that this matter has nothing to do with the prince, and it is also the fate of my loyal and brave mansion. It would be too hypocritical to say that I don't blame you, but I will try my best to restrain myself and consider the overall situation."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass. Chu Yunxi hurriedly refilled their glasses. The two of them drank back and forth, and soon the whole jar of wine was empty.

Chu Yunxi was listening to Bai Yu's report. "We have ordered people to check all the coffin shops in the city. They all said that they received a notice from the Ministry of Household Affairs, requiring all families who come to buy coffins to register the name, age and address of the deceased. After registration, they will use carrier pigeons to send messages. As for where the carrier pigeons have sent messages, they have no idea."

She didn't believe that there was no power from the government to make all the coffin shops in the capital obey her orders.

It seems that there is indeed a problem with the Ministry of Households.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi were already speaking incoherently. At the moment, they were talking about what happened on the battlefield with their arms around each other's shoulders, crying and laughing at the same time.

Chu Yunxi looked at the two helplessly. She stepped forward and patted Chu Zhongxi, "Second brother, it's getting late. Go and have a rest. You have to attend the court tomorrow."

Chu Zhongxi staggered and said, "Little...little sister, help the prince go...to your room to rest. I've already...already cleaned up your room. I...I can go back by myself, hiccup!"

Chu Yunxi said: "The palace is right next door, there is no need..."

“Be obedient!” Chu Zhongxi shouted, scaring Chu Yunxi back. Chu Zhongxi pointed outside the door and said, “It’s dark outside, it’s dangerous, let…the prince rest in the mansion.”

Xiao Mubei patted Chu Zhongxi's arm, "Second brother is right, it's better to live in the Marquis' Mansion... It's safer, Yunxi, I stay in your room, do you mind?"

Chu Yunxi was speechless, "Then where do I live?" Do I have to move back to the palace by myself?

It doesn't seem appropriate.

It seemed that Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi did not hear her question. The two people who could barely stand said goodbye to each other. Chu Zhongxi left with the help of the servant. Xiao Mubei stumbled and Chu Yunxi, who was beside him, hurried to support him.

Xiao Mubei said weakly: "Sorry, Yunxi, I feel dizzy, where is your room?"

Chu Yunxi seriously suspected that he was pretending, but she had never seen Xiao Mubei drink, and she didn't know how much he could drink. Seeing him hanging his head and his body as soft as mud, she had no choice but to put his arm on her shoulders and shouted, "Bai Yu?"

Bai Yu's voice came from afar, "I will go back to the palace to help the prince get the court robes."

When the last word was uttered, the person had already flown away.

Chu Yunxi gritted her teeth. Bai Yu was such a good kid to him, but it was a pity that Hei Mu had gone to check on the Minister of Revenue himself, and all the servants in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion were new, so at this moment he couldn't find a single one of them.

Hearing that Xiao Mubei's breathing had become lighter and he seemed to have fallen asleep, Chu Yunxi had no choice but to grit her teeth, put her arms around his waist, and drag him slowly forward.

Most of Xiao Mubei's weight was on Chu Yunxi. He was tall and thin, but he was an adult man after all, and his weight should not be underestimated. After finally getting him to the bed in the room, Chu Yunxi was exhausted.

Chu Yunxi almost threw him onto the bed. She sat on the footstool in front of the bed, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and decided that she would settle the score with Xiao Mubei tomorrow when he sobered up.

After resting for a long while, Chu Yunxi finally recovered a little. She stood up and wanted to leave, but seeing that he was wearing clothes and shoes and sleeping very uncomfortably, she thought for a while and bent down to help him take off his shoes.

After taking off her shoes, Chu Yunxi went to help Xiao Mubei take off his coat. After taking off one sleeve, she climbed onto the bed and went to take off the other sleeve. Suddenly, her waist felt tight and she fell uncontrollably on Xiao Mubei's chest.

Chu Yunxi let out a low cry, raised her head in panic, and met Xiao Mubei's eyes filled with lust.

"You...you're not asleep?" Chu Yunxi felt her heart beating a little fast and her face a little hot. Looking at Xiao Mubei's face from such a close distance, he felt that he was even more handsome than usual.

There was no light in the house, but the moonlight was very bright tonight, shining in the room so that one could see things. In addition, the two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing, and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.

Xiao Mubei said in a hoarse voice, "I fell asleep, but you threw me on the bed and woke me up again."

Chu Yunxi thought about how she had used too much force just now, and her face turned red. "I'm sorry, I really couldn't move you just now. I will be more careful next time."

She struggled to get up, but the hand around her waist tightened and she fell down again. She was about to kiss Xiao Mubei on the lips, but she turned her head in panic and her lips brushed against Xiao Mubei's face.

She couldn't help but feel a little angry and leaned over to whisper in his ear: "What are you doing? Let me go."

Xiao Mubei felt the warmth brushing across his face, and the sweet breath in his ears. His heart beat faster and faster. He said, "Yunxi, I came to the Marquis' Mansion today on purpose, did you know that?"

Chu Yunxi felt that their posture was really ambiguous. She was so focused on getting up that she had no intention of listening to what Xiao Mubei said. She just said, "If you have anything to say, let me get up and we'll talk later."

Xiao Mubei didn't move his hands and stopped talking. Just when Chu Yunxi wanted to struggle to get up again, he suddenly turned his head and gave her a light kiss on the side of her cheek.

The kiss was like a dragonfly touching the water, leaving in an instant. Chu Yunxi was stunned and didn't dare to struggle anymore. This was the first time she was kissed by a man in her last life and this life!

In her previous life, she was a forensic doctor, and in this life, she is a coroner. She had been on blind dates before, but the men would run away as soon as they heard about her job. Although she became the concubine of Prince Dingbei in this life, she never took it seriously. Even if she had thought about it, she didn't dare to think too deeply about it. How could a prince really want to marry a coroner?
