What was going on? Was it real or was she dreaming? But if it was a dream, why was it so real? Except for her parents who couldn't see her, she could touch Duoduo, push open the door, and feel everything.

Chu's father and mother had already changed their clothes and were ready to go out, so Chu Yunxi followed them, wanting to go out and take a look together. However, as soon as she reached the door, she seemed to be knocked back by a wall, and her nose hurt. The door was locked by Chu's father all of a sudden. Chu Yunxi stood behind the door in a daze. After a long while, she tentatively opened the door and took another step out. Sure enough, she was knocked back again. She couldn't get out of this door!

Chu Yunxi did not give up. She opened the window and reached her hand out again, but she still touched an invisible wall. It seemed that her range of activities was limited to her home.

Chu Yunxi sat down on the sofa dejectedly and began to think, wasn't I sleeping in the inn? Why did I suddenly return home? Also, that voice was clearly her own voice, and that bright yellow figure was exactly the same as hers. Was she really dreaming? However, this was the first time she had such a real dream.

As she was thinking, a feeling of dizziness came over her again. She quickly closed her eyes. Just like the last time, she felt her body spinning constantly, floating and sinking. She tried to open her eyes, but saw a chaos in front of her. It was no longer the appearance of home.

She felt so dizzy that she had to close her eyes again. Her body stopped abruptly, and the dizziness had not disappeared for a long time before she dared to slowly open her eyes. She found that she was still in the inn in Wushan Town.

She turned over and sat up. She looked at her hands and body. There was nothing unusual. She knocked her head again. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, there was no adverse reaction. Was it really just a dream? However, Chu Yunxi remembered the dream clearly. This dream was too real.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door gently, and then Zi Han's voice sounded outside the door, "Princess, are you awake?"

Chu Yunxi came back to her senses and looked at the sky outside the window. It was already evening and it was almost dark. She had already slept for the whole day.

So she replied, "Awake." Then she went over and opened the door for Zi Han.

Zi Han had changed back into her usual attire. When Chu Yunxi opened the door, she reported, "Princess, Hongyu sent someone to report that Captain Lang Rui's fever has subsided. I think he is fine, but he hasn't woken up yet. Hei Mu also sent a message saying that the prince said that if the princess has rested well, we can go to the county government to try Zhu Cheng and Zhang Jichen. The girls we rescued on the road have been picked up, and Liu Tiezhu and others have also been brought to the county government, and we are just waiting for the trial to begin."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Chu Yunxi simply washed up, changed her clothes, and hurried to the county government office.

When they arrived at the county government office, they first met Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei held her hand and took her to the fifth flower hall, where food had already been served. Wan Ruwei was serving the food. When she saw Chu Yunxi coming over, she smiled and said, "Junior sister, you're here? Come and have dinner."

Chu Yunxi was surprised and asked: "Xiao Wei, when did you come here?"

Wan Ruwei put the dishes on the table, wiped her hands and said, "I came here with those girls today. Things here have been settled. There is no need for us to wait in Linzhen. The prince is here too."

So that's how it is. Xiao Mubei just told her that the trial of Zhu Cheng and the others will be held in public in three days, in this county government office. He has also sent an urgent memorial to His Majesty, asking him to quickly appoint a new county magistrate to take over. In fact, whether there is a trial or not, the evidence is conclusive that County Magistrate Zhu and Zhang Jichen are guilty and they will not be able to escape death. The purpose of holding the trial is to let everyone in Wushan Town know the truth and stop them from living in constant fear.

Therefore, they will have to stay in Wushan Town for the next few days to settle the case. Since Xiao Mubei has to handle official business, it is more convenient for him to live in the county government office.

Chu Yunxi hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and was indeed very hungry. She looked at the dishes, recognized that they were cooked by Wen Rulan, and sat down happily. "It's really the happiest thing in the world to be able to eat the dishes cooked by my senior brother as soon as I come here."

Wen Rulan happened to be carrying the last soup with Wu Lingqi. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "You are so sweet."

When Wu Lingqi was with them, he didn't act like a prince at all. He did everything by himself. At this moment, he just came over to help Wen Rulan and said, "Actually, I think so too. The dishes made by Brother Wen are indeed unique. It's a pity that I won't be able to eat them for a while. What a pity."

Wan Ruwei smiled and said, "Then you can come to Dasui and Ruyun Tower to see us often in the future."

Wu Lingqi said: "You said it, so don't think I run too hard when the time comes."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful. The issue in Wushan Town was resolved, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed. However, Chu Yunxi remembered the dream she had during the day. She glanced at Wen Rulan, wanting to ask him if he had ever had a similar dream.

However, there were too many people at the moment and the timing was obviously not right, so she could only hold it in and eat with everyone, chatting and laughing.

After dinner, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi came to the county jail to interrogate County Magistrate Zhu and Zhang Jichen.

First, Magistrate Zhu was interrogated. He might have been too frightened when he was arrested, so he twisted his foot. So he limped over at this moment, and his fat body was crooked, which looked very funny. He obviously knew Xiao Mubei's identity. As soon as he entered the interrogation room, he immediately knelt on the ground and stammered, "Greetings...Greetings to the prince."

Xiao Mubei glared and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Cheng, do you know why we arrested you?"

Zhu Cheng fell to the ground, trembling, but his voice was steady, "Your humble servant... Your humble servant does not know, please let Your Highness know."

Chu Yunxi frowned. This County Magistrate Zhu was indeed cunning. He pretended to be trembling with fear, but in fact, he was planning to never plead guilty. It seemed that he was just like Zhang Jichen, hoping that they would not find evidence and he could escape the punishment of the law.

Xiao Mubei sneered, threw a booklet in front of him, and said, "You don't know, what is recorded in this booklet? Explain it to me."

Chu Yunxi had just flipped through the booklet, which was a list she found in her lawyer's room. It recorded the girls' names, when they were sold, where they were sold to, and how much silver they were sold for.
