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

Seeing that it was getting dark and there was nothing to do today, Xiao Mubei said, "Let's go find Sixth Brother and tell him what I think."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi knew that this matter could not be delayed. It was related to the succession issue and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

When the carriage arrived at the Changning Palace, Prince Xiao Zili and Princess Hasna had received the news and came out to greet them. As soon as Chu Yunxi got off the carriage, Hasna held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you finally came to see Sixth Sister-in-law."

Chu Yunxi said embarrassedly: "Sixth sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I have a lot of cases recently and I really can't spare the time."

"No need to explain, Sixth Sister-in-law understands," Hasna stopped Chu Yunxi from continuing, "Eighth Brother's wife is a remarkable woman, an expert at solving cases. I heard that many cases in the Dali Temple were solved by Eighth Brother's wife, and Sixth Sister-in-law is extremely envious."

"Sister-in-law, what kind of extraordinary woman am I?" Chu Yunxi felt even more embarrassed and took out the cakes she had just bought on the road. "I don't know what Sister-in-law likes to eat, but the cakes in this pastry shop taste pretty good to me, so I brought some for Brother Six and Sister-in-law."

"Okay, I love pastries the most." Hasna took it happily.

The two men were unable to get a word in until this moment when Xiao Zili smiled and said, "Let's go back to the house and eat some cakes. We can't just stand outside all the time, right?"

Hasna smiled and said, "Look at me, I am so happy to see my brother and sister-in-law. Let's go back home quickly."

Several people then entered the mansion together. Hasna ordered the servants to prepare fruit tea. Xiao Zili and Xiao Mubei chatted about the previous case of serial flower thieves in the capital. When they talked about the former Jingzhao prefect Zhao Yuzhi, they couldn't help but sigh.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Zili ordered people to guard the main gate and the front hall door, and sent trusted secret guards to guard the roof, making the whole room as solid as a rock, and definitely not letting the content of their conversation leak out. Then he said to Xiao Mubei: "Eighth brother, I know why you came here today, let's be frank, I really don't want to be the emperor, eighth brother is better than me in both civil and military strategies, this heavy responsibility has to be handed over to you."

Xiao Mubei waved his hand, "Sixth brother, don't be so hasty to refuse. Listen to my younger brother first. To be an emperor, literary and military skills are not important. What is important is generosity, benevolence and love for the people. You are better than me in these aspects. This is one of them."

"Is there a second one?" Hasna asked with a smile.

Xiao Mubei said seriously, "Of course there is. Secondly, you are the princess of Shusha Kingdom, you are of noble status, and you grew up in the palace. You know all the rules and etiquette of the palace, and you can manage it with ease. You have a lot of dealings with those ladies. If you become the queen, the harem of Dasui will be safe. Yunxi can only investigate cases and perform autopsies. These skills of hers are useless in the palace. Moreover, managing the harem and balancing the relationship between officials and ladies are even more difficult for her. Sixth brother, we are the emperor and queen. Managing a country is not a joke. We can't just pick anyone."

Xiao Zili did not speak, but looked at Hasna, who covered her face and said, "I just like chatting and joining in the fun on weekdays. How come it becomes a great skill in Eighth Brother's mouth? If you ask me, my skill is not even one hundred thousandth of that of Eighth Brother's wife."

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "No matter how great your ability is, it has to be put in the right place. My ability is only suitable for the Dali Temple to redress the grievances of the dead."

Xiao Mubei said, "Sixth Brother, whether you want me to fight in battle or investigate cases in the Dali Temple, I can do it, but I really can't rule the world. I have another reason. Do you want to hear it, Sixth Brother?"

"You have a third one?" Xiao Zili also covered his face, "Eighth brother, I never knew you were so eloquent."

"To be an emperor, you don't need to be good at speaking, you just need to make the right decisions. Sixth brother, do you want to listen to the third one?"

Xiao Zili felt that he had really lost to Xiao Mubei, "What is the third one?"

"The third is..." Xiao Mubei dragged out his voice, "As an older brother, I should take the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility. How can I throw the heavy responsibility to my younger brother?"

"Puff..." Chu Yunxi had just taken a sip of tea and it all came out in an instant. She never expected that the once cold and aloof King Dingbei would not only become cheerful and easy-going, but also learn to act like a spoiled child.

Xiao Zili and Hasna were also stunned. They looked at Xiao Mubei in amazement and covered their faces at the same time.

In the end, Xiao Mubei won the game with his eloquence and trickery. Xiao Zili said helplessly, "Eighth brother, I will take on this responsibility, but you have to promise me that even if I become the emperor, our brotherhood will remain unchanged. You can tell me anything at any time, don't worry about anything. I promise you that I will never blame you for anything."

"In that case, thank you very much, brother." Xiao Mubei breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a big problem was solved.

Seeing that Xiao Zili agreed, Hasna also took Chu Yunxi's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to promise me that you will come to the palace to see me more often and talk to me in the future."

"No problem, Your Majesty." Chu Yunxi leaned over and whispered in Hasna's ear. Hasna pretended to hit her, but Chu Yunxi dodged with a giggle.

In the evening, Xiao Zili held a banquet in his mansion to entertain Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. The two brothers drank together, which was a rare occasion.

The moon was rising over the branches. Xiao Zili and Xiao Mubei were drinking and chatting. They were both a little tipsy and their speech was a bit slurred. Hasna and Chu Yunxi were chatting animatedly on the other side, not paying any attention to the two men's affairs.

That night, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi stayed in the Changning Palace. Naturally, someone had reported the matter to Emperor Sui Ming, who was playing chess with the retired emperor.

"It seems that they have reached a consensus." Emperor Sui Ming left his son behind and asked, "Father, are we really going to let the two of them decide on this matter?"

The emperor laughed, "Emperor, since you have already decided to abdicate, why do you have to interfere so much? Just let go completely, that's the way to be open-minded. In the future, you will be recorded in history books as an enlightened emperor unprecedented in history. Besides, both of your sons are good. No matter who succeeds you, the country will be safe. So, just rest assured and take care of your health."

"Listen to my father." Emperor Sui Ming has come to terms with things since he had health problems. He once thought that having supreme power was important, but now he feels that having a good body seems to be more important than anything else.

The two sons did not kill each other for the throne, but were humble to each other. This made Emperor Sui Ming very pleased. At least, he did not have to worry that the new emperor would not tolerate his brothers after he abdicated.
