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

Hearing her say this, Xiao Mubei also smiled, "That makes sense. Everyone should stay in a position that suits them. If you force a blacksmith to be a chef, or a chef to be a gardener, the end result is that they will not be able to do anything well."

"That's right!" Chu Yunxi smiled like a flower, "So, my lord, don't worry about me, just do what you want to do."

Xiao Mubei held Chu Yunxi's hand tightly, "Yunxi, how could I be so worthy to meet you..."

Chu Yunxi smiled with her eyebrows curved, thinking proudly in her heart, I am indeed lucky, after all, I am also a time traveler, but she said in a false modesty, "In fact, I am just an ordinary person."

"Then what did His Majesty say in the end?" Chu Yunxi thought of the key question.

"Father said that he would leave this matter to the two of us to decide. He gave us three days to make sure we choose someone to succeed the throne."

Chu Yunxi covered her face. She had heard of people killing each other for the throne, but she had never heard of people fighting for the throne. Emperor Sui Ming was really weird. He didn't decide on such matters himself, but let his two sons decide for themselves. This would go down in history. It was unprecedented and would never happen again.

"It seems that I have to take time out in the next two days to go to Sixth Brother's place. However, the case of Guanyin Temple cannot be delayed any longer. If we delay it for one more day, there is a possibility that another couple will be killed. Let's go to Guanyin Temple tomorrow."

"Okay." Xiao Mubei agreed, and seeing Chu Yunxi yawning loudly, he said, "I'll take you back to rest."

Chu Yunxi was indeed sleepy at this moment. She nodded and prepared to find shoes to put on. As soon as she lowered her head, Xiao Mubei had already put one hand through her armpit and the other hand through her knee and picked her up.

Chu Yunxi exclaimed in surprise, and quickly put her arms around Xiao Mubei's neck, whispering, "I can walk by myself."

"But I want to carry you back." Xiao Mubei's voice was low and his steps were steady, which inexplicably made Chu Yunxi blush.

Back in the room, Xiao Mubei put Chu Yunxi on the bed, but he maintained a bent posture without getting up. His cheek was only inches away from Chu Yunxi's cheek, and his breathing through his nose could be clearly heard.

"Yunxi, I'm sorry. I haven't bothered to ask for permission since I came back so long. You won't blame me, will you?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "I know how busy I am after I come back."

"Don't worry, after I convince my sixth brother to take the throne, I will ask my father for the final decree, which is to enthrone you as the principal consort."

Hearing Chu Yunxi's barely audible "hmm", Xiao Mubei couldn't help but gave her a kiss on the forehead. Chu Yunxi's face turned even redder, and she felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Xiao Mubei stopped at the right time. After kissing her forehead, he held Chu Yunxi's shoulders and let her lie down. He covered her with a blanket and said softly, "Have a good rest. We have to go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi was as obedient as a kitten at this moment, which made Xiao Mubei feel itchy in his heart, but he still restrained himself, stood up, turned around and left Chu Yunxi's room.

Chu Yunxi also suppressed the uneasiness that had just arisen in her heart. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what she was thinking. Slowly, she fell asleep.

It was late at night, and darkness is the best breeding ground for sin. The man walked out of Fenglai Tower drunk, his mind still echoing with the girl's soft waist, smooth skin, and the intoxicating feeling she had just felt.

He licked his lips with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This little vixen is really attractive."

If it weren't for the tigress at home who forced him to go home no matter how late it was, why would he get up from his comfortable home in the middle of the night and brave the cold wind to go home, which was really a disappointment.

As the man thought angrily, he quickened his pace and walked into an alley where his home was.

As he was about to reach his doorstep, the man saw a dark shadow standing not far from his home, motionless. In the cover of darkness, the man looked like a messenger from hell, eerie and terrifying.

If his home wasn't right there, the man really wanted to avoid the black shadow and flee. He approached the black shadow tremblingly, and then he could see clearly that it was a person wrapped in black. He couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman because the other person even wore a big hat on his head, completely hiding his face.

Seeing that he still didn't move, the man became a little bolder. He quickened his pace, trying to quickly pass by the man. In a flash, just as the two men brushed past each other, the man suddenly moved. A cold light flashed on his fingertips, and he brushed the man's neck. Then he strode away without even looking at him.

The man covered his neck until the man took two or three steps away. Then a "gurgling" sound came from his throat and blood gushed out from between his fingers. He fell to the ground twitching, his eyes staring at the door of his home which was only two or three steps away, and slowly stopped twitching.

The home that he once didn't want to step into has become a place he can never step into again.

Early the next morning, Chu Yunxi woke up early, which was rare for her. She remembered that she had to go up the mountain to Guanyin Temple today, so she woke up early.

Bai Yu was already packing the carriage. Xiao Mubei had gone somewhere unknown. Chu Yunxi walked out of the gate of the Dali Temple and asked, "Bai Yu, where is the prince?"

Bai Yu looked around and pointed to the distance and said, "It's over there."

Chu Yunxi stood on tiptoe and saw that Xiao Mubei was buying breakfast. Maybe he was afraid that she would get tired of eating breakfast in the kitchen, so Xiao Mubei would go out to buy some food for her every few days.

After a while, Xiao Mubei came back and saw Chu Yunxi standing at the door, so he gave her the meal in his hand. Chu Yunxi opened it and saw that it was a bowl of chestnut porridge and a meat pie, which smelled delicious.

Chu Yunxi's appetite was excited and she smiled sweetly at Xiao Mubei, "Thank you, Your Highness." After saying that, she took a big bite of the meat pie.

Before she could swallow it, a constable came running over from a distance. Chu Yunxi had a bad feeling and hurried to eat it.

The constable ran to the entrance of the Dali Temple and said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, someone in Sishui Lane had his throat cut."

Xiao Mubei's face changed. Sishui Lane was very close to the imperial city. A murder here was no small matter. If it could not be solved quickly, the people of the whole city would think that the government was incompetent, and it might also alarm the nobles in the palace.

"Go check it out right away." Xiao Mubei took Chu Yunxi to the carriage and leaned over to the constable and said, "Go in and tell Li Shaoqing that we will go to Guanyin Temple later and investigate Sishui Lane first."

The constable hurriedly agreed and went in. Bai Yu pulled the reins and the carriage immediately galloped forward.

Chu Yunxi quickly finished her porridge and meat pie without even having time to say a word. Because the distance was quite close, she had just swallowed the last bite when she arrived at the crime scene.
