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

Xiao Zili suddenly felt that he seemed to have fallen into this boy's trap. He only talked about shouldering the heavy burden of running the country, but when did he say that he would also shoulder the heavy burden of expanding the royal family?

But now is obviously not the time to argue about this, Xiao Zili also knelt down and said: "Father, I know that I am not talented enough and I don't want to take on this heavy responsibility. But I think about it, my eighth brother is right, he and Yunxi have solved many major cases, and Dasui's criminal case agency cannot do without talents like them. Only when everyone is in a suitable position can they play the greatest effect. For the stability of Dasui, I will take on this heavy responsibility. I beg you to give me more guidance in your spare time. I will also work hard to be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people like you."

These words were impeccable. They not only showed that he did not covet the throne, but also that he would not act arbitrarily after ascending the throne. Emperor Ming nodded secretly, very satisfied.

He had always ignored these two sons and focused on the former crown prince and the then Prince Jingyuan. However, who knew that the two, along with Prince Anyang, had wicked ambitions that broke his heart. Instead, these two low-key sons took up the heavy burden at the critical moment. Not only did they ensure the succession of the country, but they were also able to take good care of their health.

Although he still didn't want Xiao Mubei to marry only this one princess, looking at his determination, Emperor Sui Ming knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, and it might even worsen the relationship between them. There was no rush for this matter anyway, and he could just do it slowly later.

Emperor Sui Ming took the opportunity to step down and said, "Since that's the case, Sixth Brother, I will hand over the throne to you from now on. The abdication ceremony will be held in three days. You must work hard to govern the country. Remember what you said today and never slack off. Do you understand?"

Xiao Zili bowed his head, "I will remember your father's teachings."

"As for you, Old Eight," Emperor Sui Ming looked at Xiao Mubei, "you will continue to be the Minister of the Dali Temple. As you wish, I will confer the title of Queen of Dingbei on Chu Yunxi. The ceremony will be held in a month. At the same time, I will confer the title of Dali Zheng and the coroner of the Dali Temple, effective immediately."

This not only promised Chu Yunxi the position of Prince Dingbei's principal wife, but also gave her a real job. While receiving a salary from the court, she was also a legitimate member of the Dali Temple.

Xiao Mubei was overjoyed, bowed his head deeply and said loudly: "Thank you, father, for your grace."

On the way back, Xiao Mubei was very happy. Xiao Zili smiled and said, "Congratulations, Eighth Brother, for getting what you wished for."

"I haven't thanked you for your kindness yet. From now on, I will obey your orders."

"You are so sweet-talking. You even told father that you have to rely on me to expand your family. Aren't you afraid that your sixth sister-in-law will hate you after she finds out?" Xiao Zili teased Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei hurriedly bowed to Xiao Zili, "Sixth Brother, please be merciful and don't tell Sixth Sister-in-law."

"That depends on what you use to shut me up." Xiao Zili deliberately teased Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei smiled bitterly, "From now on, Eighth Brother's life will belong to Sixth Brother. What else can I use to bribe Sixth Brother?"

"Hahaha..." Both brothers laughed.

When they reached the carriage, the two were about to say goodbye. Xiao Mubei suddenly remembered Chu Yunxi's words, so he said to Xiao Zili, "There is something I need to ask of you, Sixth Brother."

So Xiao Mubei told Xiao Zili about the throat-slitting case, and said at the end: "Although Bai Xue killed a lot of people, she killed people with bad behavior. Although these people did not commit crimes directly, they caused great harm to others. Bai Xue is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. She has also realized her mistakes, so we think, can we give her a chance to start a new life."

"It is indeed excusable, but according to the law, killing someone means paying with one's life, not to mention that she killed more than one person." Xiao Zili didn't understand what Xiao Mubei meant.

"I will send people to verify other cases. If it is confirmed that the people who were killed were people of bad character, then when Sixth Brother ascends the throne, the whole world will celebrate. Shouldn't we grant amnesty to the people?"

Xiao Zili finally understood what Xiao Mubei meant. He laughed, "Eighth brother, the new emperor ascended the throne and it is also the ancestral rule to grant amnesty to the whole world. In fact, you could have not told me about this case, but you did not hide it at all, which shows that you have an open mind. Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Xiao Mubei thanked Xiao Zili and then hurried back to the palace. Just now, the Purple Guard came to report that the princess had returned to the palace tonight.

It was already very late. When Xiao Mubei returned to the palace, the yard was already quiet. He wanted to share the good news with Chu Yunxi as soon as possible, so he went straight to Chu Yunxi's room and pushed the door open quietly.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Chu Yunxi sobbing, still crying and saying, "Dad, Mom, you must take good care of your health, otherwise your daughter will not be at peace in the other world."

Xiao Mubei was startled and hurried to the bed. In the faint moonlight, he saw Chu Yunxi's face covered with tears and her eyes were tightly closed.

He hurriedly touched Chu Yunxi's forehead and found the temperature was normal. He then touched her pulse and found it was beating a little fast, but within the normal range. There should be nothing wrong with her body.

But Chu Yunxi just kept crying and didn't wake up. She kept shouting "Dad, Mom". Xiao Mubei intuitively felt that this should be what Dad and Mom meant. But where is this name?

Fearing that something might happen to Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei gently pushed her and called out, "Yunxi? Yunxi?"

After pushing for more than ten times, Chu Yunxi suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a person in front of her. Because Xiao Mubei was facing the moonlight, Chu Yunxi couldn't see his face clearly. She was startled at first, but then she felt relieved from his breath and outline that it was Xiao Mubei. She said tiredly: "My lord, you are back?"

Seeing that she had returned to normal, Xiao Mubei finally felt relieved. He lit the candle. Chu Yunxi felt her face was cool. She touched it and found it was covered with tear marks. Thinking of the dream she had just had, she took a handkerchief and wiped her face, gradually calming down.

Xiao Mubei returned to the bed, looked at Chu Yunxi, and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Chu Yunxi nodded and wiped her cheek with the back of her hand.

Although Xiao Mubei had many questions, they were not new. For example, Chu Yunxi often took things out of thin air, and she had some strange things that he had never seen before. She said some words that he could not understand. In addition, he felt that she was not the real Chu Yunxi... The parents she called in her dream just now, what was the other world...

But Xiao Mubei didn't dare to ask, for he was afraid that Chu Yunxi would disappear as soon as he asked. He didn't know why he had such an idea, but subconsciously, he felt that if he asked, Chu Yunxi would leave him, and he couldn't take the risk.
