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

Chu Yunxi sat up straight and said, "Nothing, Senior Brother, what's the matter, have you figured it out?"

Wen Rulan's old face flushed, and he quickly covered his mouth and coughed to hide his awkwardness. Then he asked, "I came here to ask you, I heard that your marriage with King Dingbei was also a fake marriage at the beginning. What was the agreement at that time?"

"You are well-informed. You know all this." Chu Yunxi also picked up the cup and drank a glass of water. Seeing Wen Rulan looking at her expectantly, she smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. We just get what we need, so we agreed that it will be a two-year period. If there is still no love after the expiration, then we can divorce. No one is allowed to interfere with anyone else."

"and after?"

"Later?" Chu Yunxi asked curiously, "Later, he felt that the two of us were quite suitable for each other and did not plan to divorce. He wanted to report to his father and appoint me as his principal wife."

As Chu Yunxi spoke, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.

Wen Rulan covered her face. Could it be that Xiao Mubei had just told her that he was going to make her his principal wife, so she was being infatuated with him? This was really embarrassing for a time traveler.

Chu Yunxi recalled the meaning of Wen Rulan's words and asked, "Why are you asking this? Have you come to your senses and are you planning to hold an engagement party with Xiaowei?"

Wen Rulan scratched her head. "It's not impossible, but I have to make it clear to Xiaowei in advance that this is to save people. We have no choice but to do this. After Madam Wan recovers, we still have to resume our lives."

"That's your business." Chu Yunxi said with a smile: "Actually, Senior Brother, do you have some feelings for Xiaowei in that regard as well?"

"I…"

"Don't deny it. I know your character. If you don't have any feelings for me, you won't agree even if it's a fake engagement. You are confused as an insider, while I am a bystander."

After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, Wen Rulan stopped talking. In fact, he really didn't understand how he felt about Wan Ruwei right now, so he wanted to confirm it further.

"Okay, okay. I'll talk to Xiao Wei for you tomorrow. If she has no objection, I'll have the prince prepare for the engagement banquet. After your engagement banquet, we'll take Madam Wan and the others back to the capital."

After Chu Yunxi had made all the arrangements, she urged Wen Rulan to go back and rest. After sending everyone away, she lay on the bed and began to think about the fact that after returning to the capital, Xiao Mubei would ask Emperor Sui Ming to confer the title of princess on her. Her father's body had been brought back to the capital, and the one-year mourning period would almost be over. Everything was moving in the most perfect direction.

Before she knew it, Chu Yunxi fell asleep.

On the second day, Chu Yunxi found Wan Ruwei and told her what they had discussed yesterday and asked for her opinion. Wan Ruwei was surprised and happy. She was of course 100% willing to get engaged to Wen Rulan. What's more, this was also to help her grandmother get out of her grief and facilitate her recovery. Of course, she had no objection, but when she heard Chu Yunxi say it was a hypothetical engagement, she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. Did this mean that after all her efforts for so long, Brother Wen still didn't like her?

Seeing her disappointed face, Chu Yunxi comforted her, "This is a good start. It means my senior brother has accepted you. Otherwise, he would never agree to get engaged to you, let alone agree to bring you and your grandmother back to the capital and interfere in his life."

Wan Ruwei's heart was filled with hope again, "Really?"

"Really." Chu Yunxi pinched her little face, "Cheer up, use your smile to influence your grandma and help her get over it. This is what you should think about most right now. Go and prepare. We will hold the engagement party in three days."

"Yes." Wan Ruwei nodded firmly.

After agreeing with the two parties involved, the next step was preparation. Xiao Mubei arranged people to go shopping. Chu Yunxi suggested that this time the party should be grander so that all the people of Lijia Village could participate and have fun together. It would also let those who had the intention of rebellion see that the Dasui royal family would not hold grudges and would not pursue those who were not directly involved in the rebellion, thus demonstrating the royal demeanor.

Xiao Mubei agreed and made the arrangements.

Chu Yunxi had nothing to do these two days, so she took Qingmei to Mr. He to learn the art of Gu. Mr. He taught her very seriously, starting from the introduction to Gu, to how to distinguish the types of Gu, and how to control the Gu worms, teaching her step by step.

Perhaps because of the experience of the destruction of Jumu Village, Mr. He now has a deeper and clearer understanding of the impermanence of life. He always lives every day as if it were his last, and he takes every day very seriously, wishing he could train two people in one day.

Chu Yunxi understood that he was afraid that if he passed away one day, his witchcraft would have no one to carry on, and his life's hard work would have been wasted. This was what made it most difficult for him to let go.

Qingmei studied with Chu Yunxi. She was very smart and understood things quickly. Moreover, she studied with great enthusiasm and was very serious. When she was not busy, she would study and think on her own. However, Chu Yunxi was too busy with too many things to do, so her progress was not as good as Qingmei's.

Everyone was busy with their own things and the three days passed in a flash.

It was the day for Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei to get engaged. Although engagement is not the same as marriage, they planned to leave southern Xinjiang after the engagement and would not come back after getting married. Therefore, Xiao Mubei also prepared a grand engagement banquet for them.

Wan Ruwei was woken up by Chu Yunxi early in the morning to dress up. Everything was done according to the standards for a wedding, except that the clothes were a little less formal. However, it was still a red embroidered skirt, which set off Wan Ruwei's exquisite figure.

Chu Yunxi had been accompanying Wan Ruwei the whole time. She was very nervous and kept asking Chu Yunxi, "Sister Princess, I'm so nervous, what should I do?"

Chu Yunxi held her hand and comforted her, "It's just an engagement, not a wedding. Don't be nervous, and you don't have to enter the bridal chamber tonight."

Wan Ruwei spat, “Sister, what are you talking about?”

Chu Yunxi smiled, "You are about to get married, why are you still shy? Don't worry, my brother is not a cannibal. Don't be nervous, I will take care of everything."

Wan Ruwei nodded, but was still so nervous that she kept swallowing.

This time, the engagement banquet was held in the center of the village because everyone in the village would attend. It was very grand and solemn. Lijia Village and Wanjian Sect had a deep connection, and most of the people in the village knew the youngest daughter of the Sect Master of Wanjian Sect. Everyone was also tacitly aware of the Wanjian Sect's rebellion. There were many people from Lijia Village in the Wanjian Sect, and the court did not vent its anger on Lijia Village, so no one mentioned it again and just hoped that the matter would be over as soon as possible.

Before noon, the people had gathered in the center of the village, discussing today's engagement in groups of three or four.
