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

"Oh, my Lord," Chu Yunxi remembered something, "I saw Hei Mu is back. Has Yue Haoran's father and sister been settled?"

Xiao Mubei's voice came through the gauze curtain, "He has been settled. Fortunately, Hei Mu rushed there quickly. My third brother's people were about to kill him, but they were stopped by Hei Mu and his men. Now he is being settled in Dingbei Palace."

Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. This King Jingyuan is really cruel and ruthless. He wouldn't let go of an old man and a foolish girl."

Xiao Mubei sighed, "My third brother grew up in the deep palace, and I'm used to seeing that the lives of people in the palace are worthless. In the palace, except for those who hold high positions, the lives of servants are never counted. If something goes wrong, they may be lost. Even those palace maids who are favored by the emperor once or twice, as long as they can't climb up, their lives are worthless."

In the evil old feudal society, people were so unfair to each other.

Chu Yunxi couldn't change these things. She almost died when she first came here. It was good enough that she could save herself.

"What about you? Do you think human life is important?" Chu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but still asked this question.

Xiao Mubei was silent for a moment, "Why do you ask?"

I want to make sure whether you can truly plead for the people and redress grievances for the people. I want to make sure whether you have been assimilated by the inherent thinking of this old society. I want to make sure whether you are worthy of my help from dawn to dusk. I want to make sure more that you, who have seen life and death on the battlefield, still retain your childlike innocence, or have you turned into a killing machine?

But Chu Yunxi couldn't say any of this. She just smiled helplessly and said casually, "Nothing, just asking."

There was no response from the other end for a long while. Just when Chu Yunxi thought she would not get an answer, she heard Xiao Mubei's magnetic voice ringing in her ears.

"I remember someone said that in this world, all people are born equal. This sentence made me think for a long time. Why do people think that people are divided into noble and humble, but this person would say such a thing?"

Chu Yunxi's heart began to beat fast. Wasn't it her who said this? He actually remembered it?

Xiao Mubei's voice continued, "But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Everyone is born after a mother's pregnancy for ten months. Why should my life be more valuable than yours? If I am not lucky, if I was just born in an ordinary family, should I be trampled on? No, it's not like that. I think that even if I was born in an ordinary family, I still cherish my own life. So why shouldn't I cherish the lives of others now? All people are born equal, aren't they?"

Xiao Mubei said these words in the calmest tone, but it seemed as if every word weighed a thousand pounds, hitting Chu Yunxi's heart. This was the first person who agreed with her ideas so much since she came to this world.

"You... really think so?" Chu Yunxi didn't notice that her voice was a little hoarse.

Xiao Mubei laughed, "Am I such an untrustworthy person in your eyes?"

"No, it's not." Chu Yunxi realized that she had lost her composure, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "In my heart, King Dingbei is as good as his word. He values ​​trust and commitment. I trust you 100%."

"You are just sweet-talking." Xiao Mubei also felt relieved. He paused and said, "In fact, I asked my father for the position of Dali Temple Minister in the hope that I could really help more people. The incident at the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion made me realize that if I just keep hiding and don't get in touch with the core of power, such things will happen sooner or later. Countless Loyal and Brave Marquises will be persecuted, and Sui will sooner or later fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives. In the long run, the country will no longer be a country, and at that time, the people will suffer."

"That's right. A monarch should reflect on himself every day. The monarch is a boat and the people are water. Water can carry the boat, but it can also overturn it. If you want to save Sui, you must support a wise monarch who loves his country and the people. Your Majesty, I dare to ask, among the princes, is there anyone who is capable of this task?"

Xiao Mubei was silent for a moment, then said, "My second and seventh brothers died young. The crown prince is loyal and kind, but lacks intelligence. My third brother is ambitious and ruthless. My fourth and fifth brothers depend on my third brother. Only my sixth brother, although he often stays indoors, is actually very intelligent and has an open mind. He is the most suitable person to be the king."

"Have you ever thought about yourself?" Chu Yunxi blurted out this question, and only then did she realize that she was a bit abrupt after asking.

Xiao Mubei smiled, "I don't want to do that. In the future, I just want to be a leisurely prince, win the heart of one person, travel around the world, and live a carefree life."

This is very good. Although that position has supreme power, one also loses freedom. Chu Yunxi did not expect Xiao Mubei to be so open-minded. It coincides with her idea.

There were footsteps outside, and an old man's voice rang out, "Your Highness, this old servant has brought some food."

"Uncle Li, bring it in and put it down. Arrange a room for Miss Chu."

"Yes, Your Highness. Qingxi has gone to prepare clothes for Miss Chu. She will be here to serve you shortly."

As the old man spoke, he walked in, put down a few plates and went out. Chu Yunxi peeked out from under the curtain and immediately saw several plates of delicious food in front of her, including large bones, lamb chops, pig's trotters, and some exquisite snacks, all of which could be picked up and eaten.

Chu Yunxi swallowed, her appetite was completely aroused. Xiao Mubei's figure was looming on the other side, but his voice came clearly.

"Uncle Li's cooking skills are very good, and the barbecue he makes is even more delicious. We came suddenly today and he didn't have time to prepare. Next time I will let Bai Yu notify him in advance, and you can taste it."

"Okay," Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, took out two pairs of disposable gloves from the Liyue bracelet, and handed over one pair.

"Your Highness, wear this while you eat, and throw it away later, so the oil won't get on your hands."

Xiao Mubei saw a white arm stretched out in front of him, holding a pair of thin, transparent gloves that he had never seen before.

He hesitated for a moment, then carefully took it and unfolded it. Over there, Chu Yunxi had already put it on and started eating. She praised as she ate, "It tastes so good. I must come here often to eat."

Xiao Mubei put on his gloves and couldn't help asking, "Chu Yunxi, where did you get all these strange things? I didn't see you bring anything just now."

Chu Yunxi paused, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a secret, can you not ask? I swear I will only use these things to help people, and will never harm anyone, but I don't know how to tell you, and I don't want to lie to you, so, can I keep this secret?"
