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

Xiao Mubei held Chu Yunxi in his arms and said, "It's all a dream, don't think too much."

Chu Yunxi thought about the dream just now in which her parents both fell ill in bed because they missed her. She was very anxious and kept comforting them, telling them that she was doing well now, in another time and space, and asked them not to worry. Her mother hugged her and cried uncontrollably, and her father also burst into tears and kept saying that he wanted her to go back. Chu Yunxi could only keep comforting them, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Although Xiao Mubei is in this time and space, her loved ones are there, and Chu Yunxi is very concerned about them.

"Your Majesty, if possible, I really want to take you to meet my parents. They are both very good people. If they meet you, they will definitely be very happy."

"Your...parents?" Xiao Mubei asked cautiously.

Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she nodded slightly.

"I also want to meet them and thank them for raising such a good person like you." Xiao Mubei did not ask any further questions.

The two hugged each other without saying anything. Chu Yunxi didn't ask until she had completely calmed down, "Why did the prince come here at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Mubei smiled and said, "It's a good thing."

"Oh?" Chu Yunxi's attention was successfully diverted. She raised her head in Xiao Mubei's arms, her big eyes flashing with curiosity.

Xiao Mubei said slowly: "Father has agreed to enthrone you as the principal consort. The ceremony will be held in a month."

Chu Yunxi looked at him for a while and asked, "Anything else?"

Xiao Mubei asked curiously: "How do you know there are more?"

Chu Yunxi also smiled. "You told me before that you would ask His Majesty to appoint me as the principal wife. I thought if it was just this matter, you wouldn't come to me in the middle of the night. You must have other news to tell me."

Xiao Mubei scratched Chu Yunxi's nose and said, "How can you be so smart? I feel like I am a transparent person in front of you. Don't even think about having any secrets."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yunxi's appetite was whetted.

Xiao Mubei then said, "Father has appointed you as the Dali Zheng and the Dali Temple Coroner. You are responsible for reviewing the cases that have been tried and investigating criminal cases. Your rank is from the fifth rank."

Chu Yunxi was stunned. "I have an official position? Or a fifth-rank one?"

Xiao Mubei nodded affirmatively, "Yes, you are the first woman in our dynasty who is both a concubine and holds an official position. You can go down in history."

This is equivalent to having a civil service position and marrying into a wealthy family. She is definitely a winner in life.

Chu Yunxi instantly became happy. She stood up and kissed Xiao Mubei on the cheek, saying with a smile, "Long live His Majesty!"

This time she was praising Emperor Sui Ming sincerely. Ever since she came to this dynasty, Chu Yunxi felt that Emperor Sui Ming was a tyrant who believed in slander and wronged loyal ministers, so she could never be in awe of him. Although she obeyed him and treated his illness for Xiao Mubei's sake, deep down in her heart, she had always disliked him.

But recently she felt that Emperor Sui Ming was acting more and more like a wise ruler. At the very least, he was able to listen to advice and give up power, which many emperors could not compare to.

Everyone makes mistakes, but being able to correct them is the greatest virtue!

Xiao Mubei also knew that Chu Yunxi had always had a grudge against Emperor Sui Ming, and he had always tried his best to avoid the two of them meeting. Now that Chu Yunxi had finally let go of her prejudice, he was relieved. After all, no one wanted his wife to be at odds with his father.

Looking at Chu Yunxi's beautiful smile in his arms, and how she had just been so proactive, Xiao Mubei couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

Chu Yunxi's body quickly went limp. Seeing that both of them were losing control, Xiao Mubei pulled the brakes at the last moment. There was only one month left, and he didn't want to destroy the results of his hard work and the image he had in Chu Yunxi's mind at this moment.

Putting Chu Yunxi on the bed, Xiao Mubei said in a hoarse voice: "Yunxi, I want to keep the best time on our wedding night. You have a good rest. I will go back first."

After saying that, he fled from Chu Yunxi's room without waiting for her to answer.

Chu Yunxi laughed and said softly, "Fool."

But I was very touched in my heart, because he truly respected me.

The next day, Chu Yunxi slept in for a rare night. After Xiao Mubei left last night, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until dawn. She finally fell asleep. The case had just been solved, and everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb her. Xiao Mubei also rarely got up early for morning exercises, as he was also very tired recently.

When both of them got up, it was already time for lunch. They tacitly agreed not to mention what happened last night, but instead discussed Bai Xue's case.

Xiao Mubei sent people to the Ministry of Justice yesterday to investigate unsolved cases in various places. They also want to investigate the throat-cutting cases in other places to verify Bai Xue's confession. If it is true, these unsolved cases can be closed. At the same time, people will be sent to investigate the victims of these cases to see if they are the same as those in the capital, people of bad conduct.

Although they sympathized with Bai Xue, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were not blindly arbitrary people. They would not make a judgment based solely on Bai Xue's testimony. Everything had to be based on evidence. Otherwise, if they really let a murderer go, who knows how many more people would die.

While they were discussing, Bai Yu, who had not been seen for three days, appeared in front of them, exhausted. He had been keeping an eye on the fortune teller in person these days.

Seeing that Bai Yu's eyes were red from staying up late, Chu Yunxi hurriedly asked him to sit down, asked Hei Mu to add more bowls and chopsticks, and asked Bai Yu to eat first and report after he finished eating.

Bai Yu finished his meal in a hurry, and then reported: "Your Majesty, Princess, I have been keeping an eye on the fortune teller these days. I know his name is Zhao Xuhuai, and he lives in the western suburbs outside the city. He has a small courtyard and two beautiful concubines, but no children. He has not set up a stall at Guanyin Temple in the past three days. He goes out to buy vegetables every day, cooks at home, and spends the rest of the time lying in the yard basking in the sun."

"No other abnormal behavior?" Chu Yunxi asked puzzledly.

Bai Yu shook his head. "No, I have been watching him all night. He usually goes to bed at 10:00 p.m. and wakes up at 1:00 a.m. He goes to a vegetable market in the western suburbs to buy vegetables and then goes home."

Was it really because I was overly suspicious? Chu Yunxi began to doubt herself. While she was thinking, Hei Mu suddenly came in hurriedly to report, "Your Majesty, Princess, Li Shaoqing asked you to go to the Dali Temple. He said that the constable who was following the young couple came to report that the young couple had disappeared."

"What?" Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei both stood up with their eyes wide open.
