After dealing with Yunniang's matter, Chu Yunxi went to see the four bodies. All of them had their throats cut by a sword. The swordman was very powerful in martial arts.

Was it the so-called Feng Shui master who killed him? Or did someone save him? It is unknown.

Zhang Chenmu went to the palace to see Emperor Sui Ming. When Chu Yunxi returned to the palace, it was already late at night. Xiao Mubei came out to greet her. Chu Yunxi hugged his waist directly, buried her face in his chest and said, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Xiao Mubei really didn't move. After a while, he asked softly, "What happened?"

"Yunniang is dead. She admitted that she was the one who changed the brand. Your disdain has been cleared."

Chu Yunxi raised her head from his arms, and the two went back together. Chu Yunxi told Xiao Mubei about Yunniang and said, "Hateful people can also be pitiful. She used her own life to redeem her mistakes, and she was still worried about her daughter before she died. I can't tell you how I feel about her."

Xiao Mubei hugged her, "Yunniang was a woman who dared to love and hate. It's a pity that she was taken advantage of. This was her own choice. We have done our best to help her fulfill her last wish."

"Yeah." Chu Yunxi responded softly, "I know, I'm just a little emotional, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"Eat something before you go to sleep. Hongyu made West Lake vinegar fish and crab meat lion head to nourish you."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi was indeed hungry. She had been worried for the past few days and had not eaten well. She felt that her clothes were loose.

"By the way, let Hongyu prepare some gifts. Tomorrow you and I will go to Ruyun Tower to congratulate our senior brother on his opening." Chu Yunxi drank a cup of tea, and Hongyu came in with the dishes.

"I don't know if my father will lift my house arrest tomorrow. After all, Yunniang is the only one who has the testimony."

Chu Yunxi helped Hongyu arrange the dishes and told her to go to the storehouse to pick out some gifts before she said, "In fact, it's obvious that you were framed. His Majesty knows it very well, but what he needs is evidence. Now that the evidence has been delivered, he has no reason to imprison you anymore. The one who is really in trouble is the Crown Prince."

"You're right." Xiao Mubei picked up the chopsticks, prepared food for Chu Yunxi, and placed a full plate in front of her. "Then I'll wait for good news. If the ban can be lifted tomorrow, I'll accompany you to Ruyun Tower."

"Okay," Chu Yunxi took a big bite of the food and said, "I really miss the West Lake beef soup, mutton steamed buns, and Yellow River carp made by my senior brother..."

Xiao Mubei knew that she missed the taste of her hometown, so he asked, "Yunxi, are there a lot of delicious foods in your and your brother's hometown?"

After being together for such a long time, Xiao Mubei already knew that the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was not Chu Yunxi's real home. However, since she didn't allow him to ask, he didn't ask. Now he was asking her indirectly, not because he wanted to find out anything, but because he wanted to know more about her and everything about her.

Chu Yunxi naturally understood, and she nodded, "A lot. Almost every city in our place has its own signature dish. Some are signature dishes of big hotels, while others may just be street snacks. In the summer, when we are not working, we will go out with friends at night to eat skewers, drink, and sing. In the winter, we will go skiing, skating, and eat hot pot. There is freedom of speech, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and there are not so many rules, let alone polygamy. There is freedom of love and freedom of marriage, monogamy, mutual understanding, and mutual respect..."

At the end, the light in Chu Yunxi's eyes dimmed, "It's a pity that we can never go back."

Xiao Mubei was envious when he heard this. Seeing Chu Yunxi looking sad, he couldn't help but said, "How could that be? No matter how far, as long as you want, I will go back with you."

Chu Yunxi's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. A sentence appeared in her mind, "It would be great if you could really accompany me back."

But she didn't say it in the end, and she held back her tears. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Fool."

Then he started to eat the food in big mouthfuls, swallowing his tears along with the food, and it took him a while to calm down.

That night, Chu Yunxi had a dream all night long. Every time she dreamed, she and Xiao Mubei returned to the modern era, met their parents and relatives together, and went out to play together. She was so happy.

When she woke up in the morning, she rubbed her sore legs and muttered, "It was just a dream. It felt like I really ran several thousand meters."

Hongyu knocked on the door, "Princess, someone has come from the palace. The prince's house arrest has been lifted."

As expected, Chu Yunxi got up, washed up, and asked Hongyu, "Are all the gifts ready?"

"It's ready. A jade fortune-bringing Pixiu, a red coral fortune tree, and two pairs of golden Ruyi. They were all selected by the prince himself."

Chu Yunxi was stunned, as if she felt some pain in her flesh, "These things are all worth a lot, right?"

"These are all priceless," Hongyu exclaimed, "Let alone other things, the red coral fortune tree, there is probably no other one in the entire capital. It is carved from a whole piece of red coral, and some of the branches are as thin as silk, but they are also carved to look lifelike."

"Speaking of the jade fortune-bringing Pixiu, it is pure green without a single color. Even the individual whiskers of the Pixiu can be clearly seen. It can be said to be a work of genius."

Chu Yunxi felt even more pained when she heard this, "Such a precious thing, the prince just gave it away like that?"

"The prince said that the gifts given to the princess by her senior brother cannot be shabby. These things must be worthy of the princess's status."

Chu Yunxi laughed it off and had nothing to say. People gave it to Wen Rulan just for her face. It wasn't her thing, so why should she feel sad?

After washing up, Xiao Mubei had already loaded the carriage and was waiting for her at the gate of the mansion. As soon as Chu Yunxi came out, the two of them went to Ruyun Tower together.

From the perspective of outsiders, Xiao Mubei was released from confinement today, so he took the princess to have dinner at Ruyun Tower, which had become very famous in the past two days. No one suspected that there was anything wrong with this.

This was the first time Chu Yunxi came here after the decoration was completed. She was not the first person to see the restaurant that she had invested in. Chu Yunxi felt as if her status as a shareholder was fake.

As expected, they spent a lot of money and the design is very grand. The whole Ruyun Building has three floors and is decorated in a pastoral style. Although the lobby on the first floor is not a private room, each table and chair is separated by green plants. It is not soundproof, but it blocks the sight, making it more comfortable to eat.

Famous paintings and calligraphy are hung in many places in the building, making the entire Ruyun Building look elegant and majestic. The most amazing thing is that a small river was dug in the middle of the first floor, with an arch bridge above and red koi chasing and playing below, attracting many children to watch the fish and play there.

The second and third floors are all private rooms. You can have a panoramic view of the first floor from the upper floors, but you can't see the upper floors from the first floor. It is an excellent place to monitor people.
