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

Several guards rushed in from the door, and the leader shouted, "How dare you insult the Queen Mother!"

Chu Yunxi hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother guards, don't get excited. My brother has a hot temper, and the Queen Mother asked me to persuade him. After all, he dared to speak rudely in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother did not punish him."

Several guards looked at each other in bewilderment. They only knew that Empress Dowager Rong had locked this man up for several days but had not tortured him. She also ordered him to be well fed and well served, as if he was indeed different from the others.

Seeing that they were somewhat relented, Chu Yunxi realized that her words had worked, so she continued, "Alright, brothers, I will persuade him and will never let him speak rudely to the Queen Mother again. Everyone, go back."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Chu Yunxi had a good attitude and was good-looking. In addition, the guards were not sure about the attitude of the Queen Mother Rong and did not dare to act rashly. So they warned Chu Yuanxi and left.

Chu Yuanxi's chest was still heaving with anger. Chu Yunxi waited for the guards to leave before sitting down next to Chu Yuanxi again and advised, "Brother, in fact, Queen Mother Rong is just a poor person who can't get what she wants. You are just angry that she covets father, and you have never thought about it beyond your own status, right?"

"Step out of your own identity?" Chu Yuanxi didn't understand what Chu Yunxi meant.

Chu Yunxi explained, "If this is just a matter between people who have nothing to do with you, a girl has a crush on the boy who saved her, and when she mustered up the courage to confess her love, she was selected to enter the palace, and she never had the chance to stand with her beloved again. And the boy never knew that there was such a girl who loved him, and he married and had children normally. The girl missed the boy all her life. Maybe, when the boy came to the girl when he was old, the girl might not recognize him, because she had always missed only the boy in her memory, not the person in front of her now. Is anyone wrong about this?"

Chu Yuanxi began to understand what Chu Yunxi meant. After hearing what Chu Yunxi said, it seemed that no one was really wrong. The girl had only always been in love with the person who saved her, and the boy had never known that there was such a person who missed him all his life.

"So, big brother, this is why I said that Queen Mother Rong is just a pitiful person who wants but cannot get what she wants. If she wants to see you, just let her see you. After all, for the rest of her life, your father in his youth will remain deep in her heart and cannot be erased."

Chu Yuanxi was silent for a while before saying, "Little sister, you are right. I understand. I am too stupid to figure out the key to this."

"Brother is not stupid. You just value your family too much. I am honored to be your family member." Chu Yunxi said with a smile.

Chu Yuanxi scratched Chu Yunxi's nose and said, "You little rascal, how come you are so talkative now?" As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Chu Yuanxi's heart knot untied, Chu Yunxi finally felt relieved, so she looked outside the door and lowered her voice and asked, "Brother, are you sure there will be an ice cellar here?"

Chu Yuanxi nodded, "Yes, but I'm not sure where the ice cellar is."

Chu Yunxi looked up and saw the tiles on the roof move. She realized that Xiao Mubei had received this important information, so she said, "Since big brother has confirmed it, we will find the ice cellar. Big brother, you have worked hard alone before. From now on, we will share the joys and sorrows together. Big brother, you can't leave me and my second brother alone and act alone."

Chu Yuanxi said awkwardly: "I originally thought that since you all thought I was dead, I would find my father's body and bring it back with me. If anything goes wrong, you won't have to be sad again."

"Then why did you let Han Zhen'er take your jade pendant back? If you really want us to think you're dead, wouldn't it be better not to leave us any news at all?"

Chu Yunxi pretended to be angry, and Chu Yuanxi quickly apologized, "It was my brother's fault. I wanted to let you know that I was still alive, and I also wanted to bring my father's body home. I had no choice but to let Zhen'er go to the capital to deliver the letter. Is she okay?"

"She was sick. She got sick on the way to the capital and almost bled to death. Fortunately, she met me and I saved her. Then she told me about my eldest brother. My second brother and I rushed here immediately, and the prince also came with us."

"Prince? King Dingbei?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Of course it's King Dingbei. He is my husband now. He was the one my father arranged for me."

Chu Yuanxi opened his eyes wide, "You have married the prince?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Yes, he is here too." She glanced up, and Chu Yuanxi understood, so she didn't ask any more questions.

As the two were talking, a palace maid came over and reported, "The Queen Mother invites you two to come over."

Chu Yunxi stood up, took Chu Yuanxi's arm, and said, "We'll be there soon."

After the maid left, Chu Yunxi said to Chu Yuanxi again: "Brother, remember not to speak rudely to Queen Mother Rong."

"Don't worry, little sister. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things." Chu Yuanxi patted Chu Yunxi's head, signaling her not to worry.

Chu Yunxi felt relieved and went to Empress Dowager Rong's bedroom with Chu Yuanxi.

Empress Dowager Rong had just served the meal when she saw the brother and sister coming in. She smiled and said, "Please sit down and have dinner with me."

Chu Yunxi was not polite. After thanking him, she pulled Chu Yuanxi to sit down and said, "Queen Dowager, my elder brother offended you before. Thank you for your magnanimity and for not holding it against him. This is how we brothers and sisters can be reunited."

Queen Mother Rong waved her hand and said, "After all, you are his children, and my juniors. It is my duty to take care of you. You don't have to be polite to me."

Chu Yunxi heard her tone and it seemed that she had no hostility towards herself and Chu Yuanxi, so she asked tentatively: "Doesn't the Queen Mother hate us?"

Queen Mother Rong asked curiously, "Why should I hate you? Have you done anything treasonous?"

Chu Yunxi hurriedly shook her head, "That's not the case, it's just that, after all, we are born by our mother, do you...really don't mind?"

Empress Dowager Rong finally understood what Chu Yunxi meant. She smiled bitterly, "I thought about what you said all night last night and found that every word you said made sense. Although I am indeed unwilling to accept it, why can your mother be with him for so many years, while I can only miss him alone in this deep palace for so many years? But what does this have to do with your mother? She is just like an ordinary woman. She married a husband and gave birth to a few children. What's wrong with that? As for you, I have even less reason to hate you. You know nothing about the things of the previous generation. I am not so confused about right and wrong."
