Although Xiao Mubei was very curious about why Chu Yunxi had so many strange things, Chu Yunxi was so frank that he didn't dare to continue asking. It seemed that he had no choice but to agree.

Chu Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he agreed, and she ate with more peace of mind.

After a while, Qingxi came over with clothes. Chu Yunxi had already eaten and drunk her fill and had almost finished bathing, so she got up, dressed, and prepared to rest.

Qingxi brought three sets of clothes in total, all in plain and elegant colors, which suited Chu Yunxi's taste very much. The styles were simple yet good-looking, and the materials were also good, soft and comfortable. Chu Yunxi tried them on and found that they all fit her perfectly. The most important thing was that there was a hidden button on the sleeves of each piece of clothing, which made it convenient for her to pull up the sleeves when working. It was as if they were tailor-made for her.

Chu Yunxi asked suspiciously, "Is this really a piece of clothing you just picked up at random?"

How could there be women's clothes in the other courtyard? They couldn't be Qingxi's, because her clothes were obviously different from these.

Qingxi smiled and said, "These clothes were prepared some time ago. The prince ordered them to be prepared. The sizes and requirements of the clothes were also specified by the prince. After they were made, they were placed there for the young lady, waiting for her to come."

So that's how it is. Chu Yunxi didn't know that Xiao Mubei was so thoughtful. She was thinking about making two sets of clothes when she had free time, but she didn't expect that he had already prepared them.

"Thank you, Your Highness. How much does this dress cost? Your Highness can just deduct it from my monthly salary when the time comes."

Xiao Mubei was originally feeling somewhat proud, waiting for Chu Yunxi to praise him sweetly, but he did not expect her to say such words. His face suddenly darkened, but he was in another hot spring, so Chu Yunxi could not see him.

She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her words and was still trying on clothes happily. Qingxi, on the other hand, was looking at her with interest and laughing in her heart. She didn't expect that the first time the prince gave clothes to a woman, the other party would actually give silver. Isn't this questioning the prince's financial resources?

Chu Yunxi had no intention of questioning Xiao Mubei's financial ability at all. She was just used to paying for things herself.

Xiao Mubei secretly gritted his teeth, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said sternly: "No need, you will soon become the concubine of King Dingbei. I can still afford to give a few sets of clothes to my concubine."

Chu Yunxi almost forgot about this, and then she thought about it and said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Receiving gifts is always a joy.

For some reason, Chu Yunxi always felt that the furnishings and furniture in this villa seemed to be more exquisite than those in the Dingbei Palace. The bed and quilt were also more fragrant and softer. She slept very comfortably and deeply.

But in the middle of the night, the nightmare that I had had so many times came back again, a huge explosion, white light shooting into the sky, and rolling heat waves...

Chu Yunxi was awakened by the shock, sweating all over. Just as she opened her eyes, a flash of lightning rolled across the room, illuminating it brightly. A loud thunder followed, echoing through the sky.

"Ah!" Chu Yunxi was caught off guard and screamed in fright, grabbing the quilt tightly with both hands.

Qingxi rushed in first. She was sleeping outside. Xiao Mubei had told her to stay outside Chu Yunxi's room. Then Xiao Mubei came in quickly. As soon as he entered the room, he asked, "What happened?"

Chu Yunxi was still in shock, huddled at the foot of the bed and trembling a little. Qingxi turned on the light, and Xiao Mubei saw at a glance that Chu Yunxi had a terrified look on her face. This was the first time he saw her so scared. Even when facing a corpse, she was always calm and composed.

The room was lit up, and Chu Yunxi gradually came back to her senses. Qingxi had already climbed onto the bed and grabbed her hand, and asked worriedly, "Girl, are you okay?"

Chu Yunxi looked at her, then looked at Xiao Mubei who also had a worried look on his face, calmed down, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."

Xiao Mubei also breathed a sigh of relief. He had just heard a night walker on the roof and was about to go check it out when he heard Chu Yunxi's scream. He was almost scared to death and thought someone had attacked Chu Yunxi.

At this time, Bai Yu Hei Mu also knocked on the door and came in. Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't catch up."

Xiao Mubei sat down at the table and said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's my third brother's doing again. I think the fact that we stopped him from killing Yue Haoran's family has been exposed, and it happened so quickly."

Chu Yunxi realized belatedly that an assassin had arrived.

She got off the bed, sat down opposite Xiao Mubei, and said, "Did I cause you any trouble?"

It was she who proposed to save Yue Haoran's family, and this would definitely make King Jingyuan even more angry with Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. Even if this incident didn't happen, would he let me go? Since we've already met, let's just rely on our own abilities."

His eyes were sharp. King Dingbei never took the initiative to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of it either. Since others had come to him, there was no reason for him to hide.

It was still early, and nothing should happen tonight. Xiao Mubei ordered Baiyu and Heimu to go and rest as well. The villa had its own purple-clad guards secretly guarding it.

Lying back on the bed, Xiao Mubei was no longer sleepy. He opened his bright eyes in the darkness, thinking about Chu Yunxi's scream just now. He was frightened for a moment. Even when he was harmed by the traitor and ambushed, he was not afraid. But just now, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear. Why?

He must be afraid that something might happen to Chu Yunxi, and he would not be able to explain to Marquis Zhongyong in the underworld.

Xiao Mubei found an excuse for himself, and felt a little relieved. He couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and read the files again. He had read the case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis several times, including the letters of collusion with the enemy, the eyewitnesses of the meeting between the Loyal and Brave Marquis and the Nan Di general, the Loyal and Brave Marquis's letting the enemy general go when the two countries were at war, and Chu Yunxi's two brothers dying of exhaustion during the battle...

All of the evidence was conclusive and seemed impeccable, but he knew clearly that he had been poisoned during those days, and the Loyal and Brave Marquis Chu Xiu Yao was also poisoned. The difference was that his poison made him unable to walk, while the Loyal and Brave Marquis's poison made him feel weak all over.

Just as the two were tracking down the traitor, news came that Nandi had launched a massive attack. Chu Xiuyao asked his two sons, Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi to protect Xiao Mubei and evacuate, while he led his troops to fight the enemy. He didn't expect that this farewell would be forever.

On his way to evacuate, he encountered an ambush, Baiyu Heimu was entangled by the enemy, and he was also surrounded and seriously injured. Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi died of exhaustion to protect him. He thought he would not survive, but he did not expect that he would wake up one day. After waking up, the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis had been confiscated and the family was exterminated, and the injustice of the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis had been concluded!
