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

Xiao Mubei felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly asked, "Where is that old man? We will go find him tomorrow."

Chu Zhongxi said, "It's at the foot of Jumu Mountain, about a hundred miles from here. If we ride as fast as we can, we should be there in half a day."

"Okay, let's set off early tomorrow morning." Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi's pale face lying on the bed, and felt his heart tighten.

"Bai Yu, you stay with the army and keep an eye on Zhuoma and the others. If they make any unusual movements, arrest them immediately. Don't let them leave southern Xinjiang. Zi Han, you take the Purple Guards and follow me to Jumu Mountain."

After making the arrangements, Xiao Mubei sat by the bed and held Chu Yunxi's hand tightly, "Yunxi, don't be afraid, I will definitely save you."

On the second day, before dawn, Xiao Mubei took Chu Yunxi and the Purple Guards, along with Wen Rulan and Chu Zhongxi, and quietly left Lijia Village.

When Chu Yunxi woke up, she was already in the carriage. She raised her arm and found that her hand was still tightly held by someone. Then she saw Xiao Mubei sitting next to her, sleeping on the seat of the carriage, his handsome brows tightly furrowed, as if he had endless worries.

Chu Yunxi stretched out her other hand and gently touched Xiao Mubei's brow, trying to smooth his brows, but Xiao Mubei grabbed her hand again, and then, those captivating eyes slowly opened.

Chu Yunxi chuckled and said, "Hi, Your Majesty, long time no see."

Xiao Mubei had just woken up and was still a little dazed. When he saw Chu Yunxi's smiling face and the slightly raised corners of her lips, he leaned over without thinking and did what he had always wanted to do.

A warm and soft feeling came from her lips, and Chu Yunxi's mind went blank in an instant. She dared not move, for fear that any movement would cause more serious consequences.

It was not until she was having difficulty breathing and struggled that Xiao Mubei woke up as if from a dream. He stood up and saw that Chu Yunxi's cheeks were flushed. She closed her eyes tightly and slowly pulled the blanket up to cover her face.

Xiao Mubei finally felt relieved after being worried for the past two days. He chuckled and said, "Do you want to suffocate yourself to death?"

Chu Yunxi hummed softly, and a muffled voice came out from under the blanket, "Let me sleep a little longer."

"You've been sleeping for a long time," Xiao Mubei pulled the blanket away, and Chu Yunxi covered her face with her hands again. Xiao Mubei held her hand and smiled, "Okay, don't be shy, you'll get used to it in the future. Yunxi, how do you feel now?"

Chu Yunxi carefully felt her body and shook her head, "I don't feel anything, everything is fine."

But both of them knew that there was a Gu lurking in her body. This Gu was like a time bomb. Although there was no feeling now, it might suddenly explode someday. It felt very bad to have one's fate in the hands of others.

"Where are we going now?" Chu Yunxi felt that the carriage was moving very fast, almost at full speed.

"Jumushan, your second brother said there is an old man there who is proficient in witchcraft. Let's go find him."

"Is Second Brother here too?" Chu Yunxi sat up. They were both now sitting on the floor of the carriage, which was covered with a thick velvet blanket. Xiao Mubei held Chu Yunxi in his arms and used his arm to shield her head to prevent her from hitting the seat.

"Of course my second brother is here. Who can be at ease with you in the situation you were in last night? Yunxi, how did you get poisoned?"

Chu Yunxi sighed, "Zhuoma is a very cautious person. No matter if he trusted me or not at first, he just wanted to control me first. So on the first day I arrived, he poisoned me with the calming incense. The calming incense itself is not poisonous, and there was no poison in the food, so I couldn't smell it, but the two mixed together, it became poisonous. Because of my caution, Zhuoma failed to poison me."

"What happened next?" Xiao Mubei asked impatiently.

"Later, when the first plan failed, he came up with a second plan and started to poison me. I don't know when the poison came from me. Anyway, as soon as he blew that strange sound yesterday, I immediately felt a sharp pain in my chest. It was unbearable."

"It's true that people in Southern Xinjiang are good at using poison. We just entered Southern Xinjiang and I got tricked. Yunxi, if I had known I shouldn't have let you go to Zhuoma's mansion and take the risk alone."

Chu Yunxi leaned on Xiao Mubei's chest and played with Xiao Mubei's long hair. "This trip was not in vain. I learned a lot of things and fully understood the next plan of Emperor Killing Star. I even met the core figure Xiao Junxiang and learned the true identity of Yuan Rubai. Everything is clear now. Next, as long as we can send someone to destroy their plan in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to make a comeback. And I think Xiao Junxiang doesn't seem to want to be the emperor."

"I heard that you and Xiao Junxiang are very close?" Xiao Mubei's voice was full of jealousy. "Moreover, Senior Brother Wen also told me that he voluntarily let Senior Brother Wen hold him hostage yesterday, in order to let you leave."

"Really?" Chu Yunxi thought about what happened yesterday, and it seemed that Xiao Junxiang was indeed helping them.

"Of course, Senior Brother Wen said that Xiao Junxiang confessed his love to you?"

Chu Yunxi looked up and saw Xiao Mubei's jealous face. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Is the prince jealous?"

"Someone is coveting my princess, shouldn't I be jealous?" Xiao Mubei said angrily.

Chu Yunxi had never seen Xiao Mubei like this before, and couldn't help but want to tease him, so she nodded seriously, "Yes, he did confess to me, saying that he was attracted to me the first time he saw me, and he only wanted to be by my side for the rest of his life and never leave. He would rather not be an emperor, but also want to be with me."

Xiao Mubei's face turned green, "Did he really say that?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Chu Yunxi nodded, "And you don't know how sincere his words are."

"You're so sincere?" Xiao Mubei felt like his nose was crooked with anger, "You're deliberately trying to piss me off, aren't you?"

"Of course...yeah." Chu Yunxi couldn't pretend anymore and burst into laughter. Xiao Mubei pretended to tickle her and the two of them became a mess.

After finally stopping, both of them were out of breath. Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei and said, "Now you know how great your princess is, right? You must cherish her in the future, or be careful that someone else will snatch her away from you one day."

Xiao Mubei stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, "I have always known that you are excellent. Don't worry, you will never be snatched away by others, because I will not give anyone such an opportunity."

Chu Yunxi felt sweet in her heart, and she snuggled in Xiao Mubei's arms. She felt that even if she was poisoned, it didn't seem so scary, because there was someone who valued her more than his own life.
