Lang Rui was beaten so badly that he had soft tissue injuries all over his body, broken ribs, and internal injuries. His entire head was a bloody mess, and his original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu to stay and help. She and Bai Yu now had a very good understanding of each other. Bai Yu took off all the clothes on Lang Rui, and Chu Yunxi began to check and treat him. Lang Rui was seriously injured and his breathing was very weak. Chu Yunxi first gave him a cardiac stimulant and anti-inflammatory water, and then started the intensive treatment.

It took a full three hours of hard work, and by the time I was done, it was already light outside.

Dragging his tired body to open the door, several men sitting on the ground outside the door suddenly jumped up, which scared Chu Yunxi. When he looked closely, he found that they were the soldiers of the Langya Army who sneaked into the county government office with Lang Rui. Zi Han was also standing beside them.

One of the soldiers asked nervously, "Princess, how is my elder brother?"

Chu Yunxi said: "He is not out of danger yet. If the high fever can go away tonight, there will be no problem."

Several soldiers clenched their fists tightly. One of them punched the big tree next to him. The tree shook a few times and dropped a few broken leaves. He gritted his teeth and said, "I must kill Zhu Cheng and Qi Shan."

Chu Yunxi stepped out of the room and said, "The prince will not let them go. You should all find a place to rest. There will be people guarding here. If everyone falls down, won't Lang Rui be worried about you when he wakes up?"

Several soldiers were reluctant to leave, but they also understood Chu Yunxi's good intentions, so they went to find a place to rest. Now that there was no one in this mansion, it temporarily became the place where Chu Yunxi and his group stayed. Everyone was tired after a night of sleep, so they just found a room and fell asleep.

Chu Yunxi asked Hongyu to come and watch over Lang Rui. She left a few bottles of liquid for Hongyu to replace in time, and then asked Zihan how she felt. Zihan answered truthfully, "I feel that my internal strength has returned a little bit, but it has not fully recovered yet."

Chu Yunxi saw that Zi Han was dirty and still wearing maid's clothes, so she asked her to go back to the inn to take a bath, change clothes, and have a good rest. She could come out after her internal strength was fully restored. Zi Han was reluctant at first, but Chu Yunxi said it was an order, so she had to obey.

After arranging all this, Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu, "Where is the prince?"

Bai Yu had just gone out to ask, and said, "The prince is in the county government office, searching the residence of County Magistrate Zhu to see if there is anything he can find."

"Then let's go over too." Chu Yunxi said as she was about to walk out.

Bai Yu stopped her and said, "Princess, the prince ordered you to stay here and rest after you rescued the people. You didn't sleep last night either. Go to sleep for a while. When you wake up, the prince said he will wait for you to go and interrogate Magistrate Zhu and Zhang Jichen together."

Chu Yunxi agreed when she thought about it. She couldn't match Xiao Mubei and Baiyu Heimu's energy. Besides, there was still a lot of follow-up work to be dealt with at the county government office. Even if she went there, she couldn't really help much. It would be better for her to have a good rest first and then do her best to help where she could.

So she changed her mind and went back to the inn to rest.

As soon as she fell asleep, Chu Yunxi felt as if her bones were falling apart. She couldn't help but think, I'm really old, why is it so tiring to stay up all night? Before she finished thinking, she fell into a deep sleep.

In a trance, she seemed to be floating in a chaotic space, her body kept spinning, and she felt dizzy. Suddenly, her body stopped suddenly, and she heard a voice saying, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to the exhibition. You guys eat, you don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Chu Yunxi felt her heart suddenly skip a beat. She opened her eyes and saw a bright yellow figure closing the door and walking out. The figure was extremely familiar. Looking around, her tears instantly burst out. This was her modern home.

At this moment, her mother was cleaning up the dishes, her father was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, the warm sunlight was shining on the windowsill, and the puppy Duoduo, whom she had fed for many years, was wagging his tail and running in and out with his mother. Everything was so peaceful.

I'm back? Chu Yunxi looked down at herself. She was now standing in front of the TV wall in the living room, opposite her father, but her father didn't look up, as if he didn't notice her at all. Chu Yunxi squatted down and whispered across the coffee table: "Dad, Dad."

Father Chu didn't respond, still drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Chu Yunxi went to the kitchen again. Her mother was washing dishes and kept muttering, "Don't stay at home reading newspapers all day long. Let's go to our daughter's art exhibition when we have time. Since she stopped being a forensic doctor and became a portrait artist a year ago, her art exhibitions have been getting bigger and bigger this year. I never knew my daughter was so talented in painting. Hey, old man, did you hear me?"

Father Chu put down the newspaper and said, "I heard it, I heard it. If you want to go, then we can go. But my daughter is so busy, she may not be at the exhibition. If you go, you can only look at the paintings."

"I just wanted to see what happened to my daughter's painting." Mother Chu wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. "I stay at home all day long. Sometimes I am always afraid that my daughter will be seriously injured like a year ago. Fortunately, God has eyes and she was rescued. If Yunxi really had an accident, what would I do?"

Mother Chu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but Chu Yunxi was stunned. What? I...I was rescued? And I became a portrait artist? What's going on?

Father Chu pulled Mother Chu to sit down and comforted her, "Why are you talking about that again? Isn't my daughter fine? As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. Look, this year, my daughter has a successful career and her marriage is on the agenda. Don't think about those bad things. If you want to go to the exhibition, then let's go."

Mother Chu wiped her tears, smiled again, and said, "When you get old, you're always easily sad. I'll go clean it up."

Chu Yunxi followed her mother the whole time. She was sure that her parents could not see her. Only the dog Duoduo seemed to smell her scent and kept circling around her feet. Some even turned around excitedly and nudged her legs with its nose.

Chu Yunxi leaned down and touched Duoduo's head. It immediately narrowed its eyes slightly and enjoyed letting her stroke it. Chu's father and mother did not notice Duoduo. They both went to pack up and change clothes. Chu Yunxi walked into her room. Sure enough, there were signs of life here. She noticed that the photo on the bedside had been changed. It was no longer the police uniform photo she had put there before. She took a closer look and was surprised again. In the photo, it was herself and Xiao Mubei in modern clothes!
