Zi Han struggled to remember, "I am really fine, it's just a superficial wound, apply some golden wound medicine, it will heal soon."

Chu Yunxi said seriously: "If you don't want this arm anymore, just move it. When your arm is broken, I will immediately ask the prince to dismiss you from your position as the leader of the Purple Guards and drive you out of the palace. I will see where you can go."

Zi Han really didn't dare to move.

Chu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, "That's good."

Chu Yunxi gave Zi Han an anesthetic and disinfected it, waited for a while, and hung a bottle of anti-inflammatory water for her. Then she began to sew the stitches. As she sewed, she said, "I used cosmetic thread for you. It will be absorbed by itself after a while. You don't need to remove the stitches. There will be a little scar, but it doesn't matter. I also have scar removal medicine. The effect is quite good. Keep applying it. After a year or so, the scar will be very light and it won't affect your beautiful marriage."

Zi Han was listening carefully at first, but suddenly she heard Chu Yunxi talking about getting married. Her face suddenly turned red, and she coughed lightly and said, "Princess, we Purple Guards don't get married."

"How can that be? Purple Guards are also human beings, how can they not marry? Wait for me to go and tell the prince that Purple Guards have worked hard and made great contributions, and they do the most dangerous things every day. There must be a time limit, and when the time is up, you will be allowed to go out and marry. Everyone must have their own life."

"But, if we leave, the safety of the palace..."

"Silly girl, I'm not asking you to leave now. You can all accept disciples and keep the Purple Robe School going. This way, even if you get married and have children in the future, you can still guide disciples. It's just that you will retreat from the front stage to the backstage, and you are still serving the palace."

Zi Han was also moved by what Chu Yunxi said. Can the Purple Guards really get married?

She once thought that she would be a secret guard for the rest of her life, hiding from people every day, living in the shadow of swords and sabers. When the master was in danger, they would rush to the front. Although they would not look back, they also longed deep in their hearts. When could they stand upright in the sun?

But it was just a thought. Now, after hearing what Chu Yunxi said, Zi Han couldn't help but wonder, if she could get married, what would an ordinary life be like? Would that person treat her like the prince treats the princess?

“Zi Han, Zi Han?”

Chu Yunxi's cry brought Zi Han back to reality. She looked up at Chu Yunxi and said, "Princess, what's wrong?"

"It's sewn up. I'll get you a bandage to hang it up later. Try not to touch it for the next few days. Don't touch it with water, and don't use force or fight. Got it?"

"Yes, princess."

Chu Yunxi packed her things. "What were you thinking about just now? Were you thinking about getting married?"

Zi Han's face, which had just recovered, instantly turned red again, and she said coquettishly, "Princess, please stop teasing Zi Han."

Chu Yunxi laughed out loud. Zi Han finally looked a bit like a girl. She lived like a man all day long. It was quite fun to tease her.

"It will take a while for the liquid to be completely infused. You should rest well and don't move. This way the wound can heal quickly. I'll ask Hongyu to come and remove the needle for you later."

"Yes, princess."

After Chu Yunxi left, Zi Han went over what she had just said in her mind again, and suddenly she felt that she was looking forward to living an ordinary life.

The next day, Qin Long's portrait was posted all over the city, with a message on it saying, "Murder suspect, anyone who can provide real clues will be rewarded 100 taels of silver."

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei were still in the palace early in the morning and had not left the house when Zhang Chenmu arrived and asked to see Xiao Mubei directly at the palace.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went out to meet him together. As soon as they met, Zhang Chenmu said mysteriously, "Last night, His Majesty went to the East Palace in person and ordered the Imperial Guards to arrest all the secret guards of the East Palace and check them against the portraits one by one to find the Feng Shui master."

"What's the result? Did you find it?" Chu Yunxi asked impatiently.

Zhang Chenmu shook his head. "No, the crown prince knelt before Your Majesty and swore that he did not do it. I just found out yesterday that the crown prince actually submitted a memorial a few days ago, requesting to be deposed as the crown prince."

Xiao Mubei said: "Brother, this move of retreating to advance is very powerful. Father must not agree with it, right?"

"Yes, His Majesty suppressed this matter and never mentioned it in the court. He just ordered people to closely monitor the East Palace."

Chu Yunxi said, "Your Majesty will not give others a reason to criticize you. Right now, the evidence is not enough. If you depose the crown prince at this moment, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the gossips of those princelings in the court. However, this matter is a thorn in His Majesty's heart, so he is eager to get the result. We have to speed up the process. I hope those portraits can bring some useful clues."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu came over to report, "Your Majesty, Princess, someone from the Dali Temple said that many people came to the door to provide clues. I want you to go over and take a look."

"So fast?"

Chu Yunxi was a little surprised. She had just put it on this morning, so how come it appeared?

But no matter what the reason, they had to go and see it. The two packed up and went back to the Dali Temple with Zhang Chenmu.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw at least twenty or thirty people crowded there, and Li Jinghong was trying to persuade them earnestly at the door.

"Don't worry, the prince will be here soon. As long as the clues you provide are really useful, you will be rewarded."

Chu Yunxi sighed: "Money is still useful." This has never changed from ancient times to the present.

Someone was sharp-eyed and saw the carriage that Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were sitting in, and immediately shouted, "King Dingbei's carriage is over there."

The crowd immediately changed direction and crowded towards the carriage. Chu Yunxi whispered something in Xiao Mubei's ear. Xiao Mubei nodded, got out of the carriage, and said loudly, "Everyone line up and go to the door to get the number plates. Come one by one according to the order of the number plates. If there is no order, no one will get the reward."

Hei Mu had already gone to explain to Li Jinghong. The two of them went in and carried out a table with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on it. Xiao Mubei strode over and sat in front of the table to write the number tags himself. After they were finished, Li Jinghong distributed them to the people. They entered starting from number 1. Chu Yunxi was questioning them on the spot behind the door, and Zhang Chenmu was in charge of recording.

There were almost no shortage of people at the entrance of the Dali Temple for the entire day. In fact, there were not many useful clues. Most of them said that they had seen this person somewhere before. Some of them were not even sure when they had seen him or whether the person they saw was Qin Long. They just wanted to try their luck and see if they could get a hundred taels of silver.

Zhang Chenmu's arms were numb from writing. He finally had some free time. He swung his arms and said, "Princess, looking at these records, Qin Long is almost always alone. Can we find out who is behind him?"

"Everything depends on human efforts." Chu Yunxi said firmly.
