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

At this time, it seemed that only the warm body temperature in his arms reminded Xiao Mubei that all this was real.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked Chu Yunxi's cheek, tidying up the loose hair on her face, and looked at the person in his arms in the dim light. Her face was so small, not even as big as his palm. She was sleeping soundly at the moment, as clean as a child. He lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead, suppressing the desire rising in his heart. He didn't want their wedding night to be completed without her knowing, that should be unforgettable for both of them.

So he tightened his arms, hugged her in his arms, and closed his eyes.

The next morning, when it was bright, Chu Yunxi woke up slowly.

She had a headache. She hadn't had a hangover for a long time. She didn't expect that she and the Queen drank too much last night. She rubbed her head and sat up. Hongyu pushed the door open and came in with a bowl of hangover soup in her hand. She said, "Princess, you are awake. Drink this bowl of hangover soup and you will feel better."

Chu Yunxi took it and drank it in one gulp. Then she asked, "What time is it?"

Hongyu smiled and said, "It's already Si hour. The prince brought you back at Chen hour and told me to make a hangover soup so that you must drink it as soon as you wake up."

"Chenshi?" Chu Yunxi was surprised. So Xiao Mubei didn't send her back that night. Where did she sleep that night?

"Where is the prince? Isn't he leaving for Wushan Town today?" Chu Yunxi finally remembered the important matter.

Hongyu nodded, "Yes, the prince has made preparations. The carriage is at the door. The prince has sent people to pick up Master Wen and Prince Nandi. They should be back soon, just in time for us to leave together."

Chu Yunxi felt a little ashamed. She always seemed to be dragging her feet before going out, so she got up and washed as quickly as possible, not even bothering to eat breakfast, and ran out the door.

Fortunately, Hongyu was prepared and followed with the food basket she had prepared.

Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei had just arrived, and Wu Lingqi had not arrived yet. Wen Rulan prepared three large carriages this time. Although they were not as luxurious as the ones Chu Yunxi and the others had, they were still much larger than ordinary carriages. One was for him and Wan Ruwei, one was loaded with food, clothing and daily necessities needed on the road, and there was another one specifically for Yan Mingzhu and Hongyu.

In addition to the luxurious carriage, Xiao Mubei also prepared two more carriages, one for the guards to take turns to rest, and the other for Wu Lingqi.

In addition to Baiyu and Heimu, some of the Purple Guards also accompanied them to Wushan Town this time. Wu Lingqi also brought a dozen guards with him. The group was also very grand, and finally left the city at noon.

Chu Zhongxi did not go with them this time because he had to receive envoys from various countries, but Chu Yuanxi might meet them on the road. He was originally rushing back to attend the ceremony of enthroning the queen, but it was unexpectedly cancelled. Chu Yunxi sent him a pigeon message, asking him to take a break and when they met on the road, they could go to Nandi to see the queen mother together.

The group did not dare to waste time and kept on traveling until midnight, only taking a short rest on the road. They got up early in the morning and continued on their journey.

After traveling like this for three days, they had already walked about seven or eight hundred miles and passed three cities.

That evening, they happened to arrive at a town. After a discussion, they decided that they had not stayed in an inn for several days and were exhausted. They might as well rest in the inn for a night, take a bath and have a good sleep, let the horses have a good rest as well, and continue their journey tomorrow.

So everyone went into the city, asked where the largest inn was, and went there in a mighty procession.

The name of the inn was Tongle. Xiao Mubei thought it was a good name. Sharing happiness with the people, wasn't that what he, the high and mighty King Dingbei, should do?

When the owner of Tongle Inn saw the important customer coming, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he busily arranged the guest rooms. In the end, he was dumbfounded to find that there was one room missing.

Chu Yunxi blinked and said, "No, I don't need any."

Xiao Mubei was stunned and counted again, and found that there was indeed one room missing.

Wan Ruwei saw that Xiao Mubei was not getting the point, and said angrily: "The couple should live in one room."

Xiao Mubei then realized that he subconsciously arranged two rooms for himself and Chu Yunxi. He looked at Chu Yunxi, who pretended to look up at the sky. Xiao Mubei was happy and coughed softly, "Boss, the room is just right. We'll take all the rest."

The shopkeeper completed the formalities quickly and asked the waiter to take everyone to their rooms one by one. He was very considerate and arranged Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi in the best room, which was also the room farthest from the other rooms.

After dinner, Chu Yunxi asked the waiter to bring some hot water. She hadn’t taken a shower for three days and she felt like she smelled bad.

There was a screen in the room. Chu Yunxi opened the screen and said to Xiao Mubei, "Turn your back and don't come over. Wait until I'm done washing before you wash."

Xiao Mubei sat obediently with his back to the screen. He took out a file and began to read it. Behind him, he heard the sound of someone taking off clothes and a sound of wind behind his head. It was the sound of Chu Yunxi hanging her clothes on the screen.

A gentle sound of entering water was heard, and an image of a pair of beautiful legs entering the water appeared in Xiao Mubei's mind. The words in his eyes suddenly became blurred, and he didn't know what he saw. His ears seemed to become unusually sensitive suddenly. Every time Chu Yunxi splashed water, it was like splashing his heart.

The temperature in the room was getting higher and higher. Xiao Mubei pulled his collar and felt a little stuffy.

He couldn't concentrate at all. The file he had been reading for a long time was still on that page. All his attention was focused on the sound behind him. Xiao Mubei suddenly realized, what am I doing?

He suddenly stood up, and because he was too anxious, his legs hit the table, making a loud noise, which scared Chu Yunxi and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Mubei seemed not to feel the pain in his legs, and said hurriedly: "I...I'll go out for a while, you take your time to wash."

After saying that, he fled from the room.

Seeing Xiao Mubei's fleeing figure through the screen, Chu Yunxi was stunned for a while, seemed to understand something, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Xiao Mubei rushed to the backyard, startling Baiyu Heimu who was feeding the horses in the backyard. He immediately became alert and asked, "My Lord, what happened?"

Xiao Mubei exhaled a breath of hot air. The cold wind outside made him feel a little better. He waved his hands and said weakly: "Nothing, the room is too hot, I came out to get some fresh air."

Hot? Bai Yu and Hei Mu looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. It was not summer yet, and the night was still a little cool. Although it was not cold, it was definitely not hot. Could it be...

The two of them tacitly continued to feed the horses, leaving Xiao Mubei alone to calm down with mixed feelings. At this moment, a scream suddenly came from upstairs, and it was from Chu Yunxi's voice.
