Bai Yu seemed to understand, so he asked again: "What about those people in the prison? Most of them are on death row. Why do you want to save them?"

Chu Yunxi smiled, "Bai Yu, I remember when I first met you, you were a cold and taciturn person. How come you have become such a talkative person now? The difference is quite big."

Bai Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Weren't you unfamiliar with the girl at that time? And our prince is also a man of few words, so if I follow him around every day, wouldn't I learn from him?"

Chu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. "You should be honest. Be careful that your prince will hear you and beat you. Well, I tell you, although they are death row prisoners, they are also human beings and have the right to life. In my heart, everyone is equal. Even if a person is extremely evil, the law will punish his evil. Before the execution, what we have to do is to show humanitarian care."

She didn't tell him that in her time, even before the execution, there would be psychological counseling to alleviate the death row inmates' fear of death, not to mention providing medical treatment to the inmates.

Bai Yu seemed to understand, but he didn't ask any more questions. That would make him look stupid. At worst, he would go back and relay these words to His Highness and ask Him to explain them to him.

However, he may not have thought of one problem, which is what would happen if His Highness didn't understand either.

When Chu Yunxi went back, she met Zi Han coming out of Xiao Mubei's study. In the Dali Temple, Xiao Mubei had his own independent courtyard, which was equipped with a study and bedroom. Chu Yunxi, a coroner, was originally not qualified to live in the same courtyard with the Dali Temple Chief Justice, but because of her special status, Xiao Mubei specially reserved a room for her in the courtyard, and no one dared to object.

Chu Yunxi has always been curious about Zi Han. She seldom appears in public, and when she does, she reports to Xiao Mubei. Although Chu Yunxi has also gone on a mission with her once, they didn't say much.

However, according to Bai Yu, Zi Han led the Purple Guards, which were the palace's escort team and were secret guards. Although Chu Yunxi didn't know why Xiao Mubei would get a group of women to be secret guards, it was none of her business and she never asked so many questions.

This time, just like before, Zi Han just nodded and left when she saw Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi entered the study and asked, "Is there any movement from He Yunsen?"

Xiao Mubei raised his head from a pile of documents and rubbed his brows. "The person who contacted He Yunsen showed up and criticized He Yunsen for not succeeding for so long. He also sent me to the Dali Temple and gave me the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the case of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. He took the poison from He Yunsen and left. I'm afraid he will strike again soon."

Chu Yunxi asked, "Didn't you catch up with that person?"

Xiao Mubei shook his head. "This man is very cunning and has excellent Qinggong skills. The Purple Guards lost him after following him for a short while."

Chu Yunxi said worriedly: "If the person behind this is not found out, it will always be a hidden danger."

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Mubei stood up and took two steps slowly. "I'm just afraid that he won't make a move. If he does, I will make sure he has no chance of returning."

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei who stood up. She was used to seeing him lying down and sitting, but suddenly when she saw him standing up, she realized that he was so tall, a full head taller than her.

Isn’t this the golden ratio between lovers?

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Mubei had already walked in front of her, and seeing that she was in a daze and didn't say anything, he touched her gently.

Chu Yunxi was shocked to realize what she was thinking about, and quickly drove away the unrealistic fantasy in her mind. Seeing Xiao Mubei handing her a file, she took it and asked, "What?"

"The files of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion," Xiao Mubei said, "were transferred here by the Ministry of Justice today. I suspect that the person behind this is as powerful as I am. As soon as I transferred the files today, the other party knew about it and took action immediately. This matter is probably extremely involved. Are you sure you still want to investigate?"

"Investigate," Chu Yunxi said firmly, "No matter how difficult it is, I will find out the truth and give justice to my father, brother, and the entire family of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."

Xiao Mubei showed admiration in his eyes, "Okay, go ahead and check it out. I'm here, and you can use the title of King Dingbei as you wish."

Chu Yunxi looked up at the handsome man in front of her and felt that she was really lucky. If she hadn't met him as soon as she came here, she wouldn't know where she is now? Maybe she would have died again.

Bai Yu coughed outside and said, "Your Highness, the jailer from the prison came over and said that the things the girl wanted were delivered."

Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi in confusion, then walked to the desk and sat down. "You asked the jailer for something?"

Chu Yunxi was also stunned for a moment, then she remembered that she had promised to treat the prisoners in the prison, "Yes, that's what I want, let him in."

The jailer came in holding a few pages of paper, bowed to Xiao Mubei first, and then handed the paper in his hand to Chu Yunxi, "Miss Yunxi, this is what you wanted."

Chu Yunxi took it and said, "Thank you for your hard work, jailer. I will bring some wine and food to reward the brothers some other day."

The jailer waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, you are too polite, young lady. This is what we are supposed to do."

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't panic, jailer brother. Our prince is a very good person. He never mistreats his subordinates. He must agree with me doing this. Don't you think so, my prince?"

Xiao Mubei sighed silently. How could this woman drag him into this? If he disagreed, wouldn't he be the one who mistreats his subordinates?

"Yes, I will arrange for Jufulou to send some wine and food over some other day to reward the brothers." Xiao Mubei had no choice but to take on this task. How could he not know what Chu Yunxi was thinking? But since he had made the move, how could he be shabby? Jufulou was the best restaurant in the capital.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Miss Yunxi." The jailer was overjoyed and left with many thanks.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very generous. I originally just wanted the cook in the palace to make something casual, but Your Majesty asked for Jufulou."

Xiao Mubei was furious. This was a typical case of taking advantage of someone and still acting ungrateful.

Chu Yunxi had already sat down and started to read those pages. Seeing how focused she was, Xiao Mubei couldn't help but come over to read them. He saw that it said, "Zhang, palpitations, frequent dreams, chest tightness, shortness of breath; Li, leg cramps, unable to walk..."

"What are you doing? Are you going to cure them?" Xiao Mubei asked in confusion.

Chu Yunxi nodded as she looked at them. "Yes, there are so many people in the Dali Temple prison, and many of them can't get out for a long time. People eat all kinds of grains, so it's inevitable that they won't get sick. They are also human beings and need care and treatment. As long as they haven't been executed, we should help them, even if it's just to relieve them of some pain."
