The ceremony of crowning the queen went smoothly. Xiao Zili did not have a concubine, so apart from Queen Hasna, there were no other concubines in his harem for the time being.

After the ceremony of crowning the queen was over, Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi and all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the queen". The abdication ceremony was successfully completed. From then on, Dasui had a new supreme ruler and would usher in a new prosperous era.

The new emperor Xiao Zili was named Emperor Suining. After everyone had knelt down, he issued his first imperial decree at the Temple of Heaven, granting amnesty to the entire world!

As long as the criminals are not extremely evil and have not caused great harm to the people, they will be pardoned and given a chance to start a new life. However, those who have committed serious crimes will not have a chance of pardon. This judgment criterion is left to the Dali Temple to decide.

After the abdication ceremony, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were called to Yongshou Palace by Emperor Sui Ming. Chu Yunxi asked in a slightly surprised tone, "Is your father going to live with your grandfather?"

Xiao Mubei shook his head. "I don't know either. I haven't heard where my father will live next."

It's really strange. According to legend, after abdicating, Emperor Sui Ming should have found a palace for himself to move into, just like the Yongshou Palace of the retired emperor. But why haven't we heard about which palace he lives in until now, but instead he summoned them to the Yongshou Palace?

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went to Yongshou Palace in confusion, but they did not see the retired emperor, only Emperor Sui Ming was waiting for them.

"Your son (your daughter-in-law) pays respect to your father." After the two of them saluted, they waited for Emperor Sui Ming's instructions.

The room was quiet for a while. Just when the two of them felt strange and wanted to look up, Emperor Sui Ming spoke, "I... I plan to leave the palace and live in Dingbei Palace for a while."

"Ah?" Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were both stunned. Did they hear it right? Emperor Sui Ming was going to live in Prince Dingbei's Palace?

"Not only me, but also the emperor will go."

What? The two of them couldn't believe what they heard. What was going on? Both emperors were going to live in their palace?

Emperor Sui Ming was also a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, "In ordinary people's homes, parents and elders live with their sons. Three or even four generations live under the same roof. Your royal grandfather and I envy them. We have lived in the palace for a lifetime and we are tired of it. For the rest of our lives, we want to leave the palace and live in your house. It is also convenient for us to go out and get to know the people more."

To put it bluntly, they want to be more free, and at the same time, it should be convenient for Chu Yunxi to take care of their health.

After the initial shock, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi both smiled. The palace was so big, and having two more old people would make it more lively. Although they were two emperors, they were both reasonable people. They were in charge of such a big country, so what conflicts could there be with them? The royal father-son relationship was more valuable.

Xiao Mubei said: "This is what I want."

Chu Yunxi also said: "I would love to have a daughter-in-law like this."

The emperor walked in with a big laugh, "I told you that Lao Ba and his wife were fine, but you were still worried and had to drag me along with you."

Emperor Sui Ming was a little embarrassed. "Didn't you say that you are tired of staying in the palace every day?"

"I didn't say you have to live in the house of the Eighth Master." The retired emperor did not give Emperor Sui Ming any face at all.

Chu Yunxi smiled and tried to smooth things over. "The prince and I had discussed before that we wanted to have my father and grandfather stay at our house for a while, but we were afraid that you two would not be willing, so we did not dare to mention it. Now is the perfect time, so I don't have to run to the palace to check for a safe pulse."

"Look, the eighth son's wife is so sensible." The emperor was in a good mood, and Emperor Sui Ming became more and more satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

Since it was agreed upon, Eunuch He and Eunuch Baochan went to prepare. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went to greet the new emperor and the new queen, and prepared to leave the palace.

On the way, Xiao Mubei said, "I heard that you gave the Queen a magic pill today, and it cured her trembling problem when she was nervous?"

Chu Yunxi rolled her eyes and whispered in Xiao Mubei's ear, "It's not a panacea, it's just an ordinary vitamin tablet."

"Vitamin tablets?" Xiao Mubei was puzzled.

"Oh, it's just to improve the body's resistance, it's not even a medicine. In fact, the Queen has a psychological problem. I told her it was a magic pill, and she thought it was real. After taking it, she relaxed and naturally stopped shaking."

"You..." Xiao Mubei didn't know what to say, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that you can't cure it?"

Chu Yunxi shrugged. "If it really can't be cured, I can just give her some anesthesia. When her body loses consciousness, she will naturally stop shaking."

Xiao Mubei covered his face. Fortunately, he was cured, otherwise there would be trouble.

At night, the retired emperor and Emperor Sui Ming secretly moved into the Dingbei Palace. Each of them brought a personal eunuch and some secret guards hiding in the dark. They moved in very low-key.

Chu Yunxi had already arranged everything in the mansion and asked Butler Ling to come back from Ruyun Tower to arrange diet for the two emperors. She also took their pulses and adjusted their medicines respectively, asking them to take the medicines regularly.

The advantage of living in Dingbei Palace is that Chu Yunxi can treat their bodies at close range, which is indeed much more convenient.

After everything was settled, it was already late at night. Chu Yunxi finally took off the heavy pearls and jade on her head. She felt her head suddenly much lighter. She really didn't know how she managed to get through the day. Thinking that she would have to wear it again at the ceremony of canonizing her as a concubine next month, and it might even be heavier than now, she felt tired.

But there is still a month left, so don't worry about it for now.

Just after falling asleep for a while, Chu Yunxi suddenly heard a noisy sound outside, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of a woman crying, but the sound was quite far away and sounded like it was coming from the gate of the palace.

Chu Yunxi was too tired to get up, so she turned over and covered her head to sleep. If anything really happened, someone would come to call her.

After a while, the sound gradually disappeared, and Chu Yunxi fell asleep again, not taking it to heart.

On the next morning, just after daybreak, Chu Yunxi was awakened by Hongyu, who said that someone from the Dali Temple had come to invite her and the prince over as there was another murder case.

It really couldn't be quiet. After just two days of peace, there was another murder. Chu Yunxi didn't dare to be negligent. She quickly got up, washed, and went out.

Xiao Mubei was called over when he was practicing martial arts early in the morning. When Chu Yunxi arrived, the two of them rushed to the scene together. On the way, they heard from the constable that the deceased was a woman who was found dead in the alley in the morning. Her face was covered in blood and flesh, and it seemed that she died by hitting her head against the wall. The preliminary judgment was that it was suicide.

Committed suicide by banging one's head against the wall? Chu Yunxi had some doubts, because usually, not many people choose to commit suicide by banging their heads against the wall. Although there were many people who died by banging their heads against the wall in TV dramas before, in fact, the human head has a protective mechanism. Unless one loses his mind or bangs his head against the wall accidentally, the probability of dying by banging his head against the wall is not high.
