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

Chu Yunxi said helplessly: "How can I disagree? Others will think I am making things difficult for you."

After saying that, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Xiao Mubei was overjoyed. He took Chu Yunxi's left hand and put the white jade and red agate ring on her finger. Chu Yunxi pursed her lips, unable to hide her smile. She felt that everything good was a little unreal.

Traveling through time and finding a handsome prince as her husband, such a good thing actually happened to her.

She was about to take the other ring and help Xiao Mubei put it on, but he had already quickly put it on his own finger. Chu Yunxi was stunned and couldn't help laughing and said, "In our place, we have to help each other put on the ring."

Xiao Mubei was also stunned, and quickly took it off and handed it to Chu Yunxi, and also handed over his own hand, and couldn't help laughing.

Chu Yunxi carefully put the ring on Xiao Mubei's finger, and held his fingers tightly, saying: "But Your Majesty, there is no rush to appoint a legitimate wife. Let's first confirm the relationship today, and then mention it to His Majesty when the time is right. There is no need to go to His Majesty specifically to talk about this matter."

Xiao Mubei knew that Chu Yunxi was thinking about him. Emperor Sui Ming had been unable to sleep or eat recently because of what the Imperial Observatory said, so it was indeed not a good time to go there.

"Okay, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Chu Yunxi put her arms around his waist and gave him a loving hug, but in her heart she was thinking, doesn't it take two or three years to get married after dating? This was her first time dating a boyfriend, so she didn't want to enter the grave of marriage so early.

It was late at night and the moon seemed to be brighter. Xiao Mubei insisted on letting Chu Yunxi sleep on the bed. His tall figure curled up on the couch feeling aggrieved. There was nothing he could do. His status had changed. It was no longer a relationship of leader and subordinate. How could he let down the future princess?

Chu Yunxi didn’t know when she fell asleep, but she was very happy in her dreams.

When he woke up the next day, Xiao Mubei had already gone to court with Chu Zhongxi. Hongyu was called over by Bai Yu to help Chu Yunxi get up.

Seeing that Chu Yunxi couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, Hongyu smiled and said, "Is there something good news, Princess?"

"A secret." Chu Yunxi smiled, picked up the chestnut shortbread in front of her and took a bite, then asked casually, "How is Yanran doing recently?"

"Recently, he seems to have grown up a lot, become more sensible, and loves reading more. He holds medical books in his hands every day."

Chu Yunxi nodded, "I've been too busy lately to give her acupuncture, but it seems to be working well. I'll continue to do it when I'm free. You take good care of her."

Hongyu agreed and served Chu Yunxi a bowl of glutinous rice and red date porridge. Chu Yunxi finished the chestnut biscuits, had some side dishes, and drank the porridge. She was full and took Bai Yu to the Dali Temple.

The chief clerk brought the list of people who came to collect medicine yesterday, and Li Jinghong also came to report that no more cases of stealing hearts occurred last night. Everything seemed to have stopped, and the whole capital city became quiet last night.

Kuroki also came back and reported the news about the Minister of Revenue Sun Shiche who came to investigate.

Sun Shiche has been the Minister of Revenue for five years. During these five years, the Ministry of Revenue has been managed in an orderly manner. During the two years of the war with the Nandi, the Ministry of Revenue also prepared food and fodder in a timely manner. He is a capable official. He has not taken sides openly, and he is not seen getting close to any prince.

Sun Shiche's family has one wife and two concubines, a legitimate son, Sun Shaoyuan, a concubine's son and a concubine's daughter. Sun Shaoyuan is currently a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and the concubine's son manages the family shop and is not in officialdom.

Chu Yunxi looked through the list of people who received medicine yesterday. There were quite a few people with heart diseases in the capital, and the list took up five full pages.

A name suddenly caught Chu Yunxi's sight, and she asked Hei Mu: "Sun Shiche's legitimate son is called Sun Shaoyuan, right?"

"Yes."

"Then have you found out the names of his illegitimate sons and daughters?"

Hei Mu nodded, "Yes, the illegitimate son is named Sun Shaochen, and the illegitimate daughter is named Sun Shaozhen."

"Sun Shaochen." Chu Yunxi pointed at the roster. He actually came to get the medicine yesterday.

"Hei Mu, go check if anyone in the Sun family suffers from heart disease."

Hei Mu went there immediately. Li Jinghong had been listening nearby. He asked, "Does the princess think that there is something wrong with the Minister of Revenue?"

"There must be something wrong." Chu Yunxi tapped her fingers on the table. "How can it be such a coincidence? The coffin shop involves the Ministry of Households, and the person who picked up the medicine is from the Sun family. The owner of the shop where the Lou family bought the coffin is also Sun Shaoyuan's wife. Too many coincidences must not be coincidences. This matter must be related to the Sun family."

As they were talking, Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi came back from court together. Chu Yunxi came forward, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and asked, "How was it? Did His Majesty embarrass my second brother in court today?"

Chu Zhongxi shook his head. "His Majesty has issued an edict to let me inherit the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and has also awarded me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."

Emperor Sui Ming's recent actions seemed like what an emperor would do, and Chu Yunxi's impression of him changed slightly.

Xiao Mubei saw the list on the table and asked, "But is there a problem with the list of medicines distributed yesterday?"

Chu Yunxi told the two of them what she had just discovered, "Someone in the Sun family must be suffering from a heart disease. I have asked Hei Mu to check it out. If this is indeed the case, then everything is connected."

After a while, Hei Mu came back and reported, "The youngest daughter of the Sun family, Sun Shaozhen, suffers from a congenital heart disease. The imperial physician once said that she would not live past the age of fifteen."

"So how old is she this year?"

"fifteen."

Chu Yunxi sighed and asked Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, have you ever heard whether the Minister of Revenue, Sun Shiche, dotes on his daughter?"

"I haven't heard of this, but I don't pay attention to these things. If you want to know, I'm afraid you have to ask the women about this matter..."

Chu Yunxi understood that the women in the capital had their own circle. They would talk about gossip when they got together. If one wanted to find out what was going on in the officials' harems, one could only start from these people.

Chu Yunxi was also in a dilemma. She didn't know any of the ladies in the harem...

Xiao Mubei suddenly thought of someone, "Yunxi, pack up and follow me. I will take you to see someone."

"Who?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

Chu Zhongxi also stood up and said, "I am going back to the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion. You guys are busy. Little sister, remember to go home when you have time."

"Okay, second brother."

Chu Yunxi still tied her hair up high and dressed like a man when she went out today. She usually did this most of the time in Dali Temple. It was convenient for work and everyone was used to it. She looked at herself and there was nothing to pack, so she said, "Just go like this."

Xiao Mubei smiled dotingly and reached out to touch her head, "Okay, you look good in anything you wear, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

Chu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable with the change of identity. Is this what it feels like to have a boyfriend?
