The guards left in response, and soon dozens of people tied up came out from inside. They all had their heads hung, were covered in blood, and their clothes were tattered.

Chu Yunxi was watching this scene in the carriage, and suddenly found a person who looked very familiar. She hurriedly shouted, "Wait a moment."

Xiao Mubei looked at her in confusion, but Chu Yunxi jumped off the carriage and ran over. Zi Han hurriedly followed, only to see Chu Yunxi running to a person. That person's clothes were obviously different from the others. It was obvious that he was the leader mentioned before. At this moment, the black scarf covering his face had been taken off, finally revealing his true face.

But at this moment, he lowered his head, and Chu Yunxi couldn't see his appearance clearly. She simply reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to look up. At a glance, Chu Yunxi exclaimed, "He Yuanjun?"

The man seemed to dislike having his chin held. He twisted his head to break free from Chu Yunxi's hand and said coldly, "You got the wrong person."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Yunxi was surprised to find that his voice was completely different from He Yuanjun's, one was clear and the other was hoarse. She looked carefully at the person in front of her and discovered some subtle differences. But at first glance, he and He Yuanjun really looked exactly the same.

Chu Yunxi knew there must be something going on here, so she didn't say anything more. She waved her hand to let the guards take them away, and she returned to the carriage. When she looked up, she saw that Xiao Mubei seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yunxi was a little confused.

Xiao Mubei took out a handkerchief from his bosom, grabbed Chu Yunxi's hand, and wiped the fingers that she had just pinched the man's chin one by one, and then said lightly: "Dirty."

Chu Yunxi laughed. It turned out that he minded her touching other men. He was really like a child. But it was quite cute. So she grabbed his face and rubbed it hard a few times, saying, "Okay, it's clean now."

The unhappiness in Xiao Mubei's chest was wiped away by her in an instant. The corners of his lips could not help but bend slightly, but his face remained serious and he said, "Naughty."

Chu Yunxi had already seen the smile on the corner of his lips, and seeing that he was still acting so pretentious, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, what a proud man.

"Your Highness, what should we do next? Should we arrest He Jinghong and his son directly, or go back and interrogate these people first?" Chu Yunxi tilted her head to seek Xiao Mubei's opinion.

Xiao Mubei thought about it seriously and said, "If they are really in the same group, once they are arrested, He Jinghong will definitely get the news and will probably try to escape. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Just in case, I suggest that we take them back to the Dali Temple for retrial."

Chu Yunxi nodded heavily and said in a long voice: "Great minds think alike."

Xiao Mubei was finally amused by her, so he ordered the remaining two hundred guards to follow their carriage to He Mansion to capture the person.

Arriving at He's residence, the Imperial Guards knocked on the door and rushed in. Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers holding long swords emerged from He's residence. The leader of the Imperial Guards took out a token and said, "The Imperial Guards are here on the orders of the Emperor. Do you want to disobey the order?"

More than a dozen people looked at each other, not knowing whether to go forward or retreat, and they were in a stalemate for a while. At this time, someone coughed heavily, and an old man slowly walked out from behind the palace soldiers, followed by a young man, who were He Jinghong and He Yuanjun.

He Jinghong said, "Everyone, please withdraw." The palace soldiers quickly withdrew. He Jinghong stepped forward and said to the imperial guards, "I wonder what brings you to the He Palace?"

The leader of the Imperial Guard said, "We are under the Emperor's order to assist the Dali Temple in investigating the murder of the student. Now the Dali Temple Minister, Prince Dingbei, has ordered the arrest of Lord He and Mr. He. We are also following orders. If you have any questions, it won't be too late to ask them in the prison."

He Yuanjun said angrily, "Are you guys from the Dali Temple done yet? Haven't you already tried him twice? So you can't catch the thief, so you're targeting our He family? I'm telling you, we're not easy to bully."

The leader of the Imperial Guard said coldly: "We don't know whether it's easy to bully us or not. We are just doing our job. Please don't embarrass us, Mr. He and Mr. He. Come on, take him away."

He Yuanjun's eyebrows were raised and he was about to explode. At this time, Chu Yunxi came over from behind the Imperial Guards, with a cold smile on the corner of her lips, and said to He Jinghong: "Master He, don't you want to stop your son? Or do you really want to make enemies with the Dali Temple and the Imperial Guards?"

He Jinghong stared at Chu Yunxi coldly, and after a long while he spoke: "I will go with you, but Jun'er knows nothing, let him go."

"You know, the Dali Temple will make its own judgment, but at this moment he must go back with us to be investigated. I understand that Lord He loves his son. If he is proven to be innocent, the Dali Temple will never wrongly accuse a good person."

He Jinghong stared at Chu Yunxi for a long while before finally saying, "I believe you, let's go."

He Yuanjun said anxiously: "Father..."

He Jinghong turned to look at He Yuanjun and comforted him, "It's okay, Jun'er. The Dali Temple is just investigating. Didn't you come back safe and sound last time you were taken to the Dali Temple? It's the same this time, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid, father, are you hiding something from me?" Even if He Yuanjun was dumb, he realized that something was wrong. His father was a man who would rather break than bend. If there was really nothing wrong, he wouldn't be so calm.

But now, his calmness made He Yuanjun feel very uneasy. He had a vague feeling that something big might happen.

He Jinghong patted He Yuanjun's hand and said, "It's okay, Jun'er, don't let your imagination run wild. Just follow the princess back to the Dali Temple to be investigated."

Under the gaze of Chu Yunxi and the Imperial Guards, He Yuanjun could not ask too many questions and could only return to the Dali Temple with He Jinghong and the Imperial Guards.

Xiao Mubei, supported by Bai Yu, also came to the prison and sat down in the interrogation room. Chu Yunxi checked his leg and found some bleeding. She said distressedly, "Your Majesty is really a fool. You are already injured, but you are still asked to command the arrest. Can't you send someone else? Look, it's bleeding again."

As she spoke, she deftly lifted his legs and laid them flat on her own legs, then took out medicine from the Liyue bracelet to clean, disinfect and change the dressing.

Xiao Mubei was amused. Even His Majesty dared to complain. She was indeed Chu Yunxi. However, he was very pleased and said, "It's okay. I don't feel any pain. There's just a little bleeding. It's nothing serious. It will be fine in two days."

Chu Yunxi said angrily: "You don't care about yourself. I don't know why I'm so nervous. I should just let you fend for yourself."

Xiao Mubei put his arm around her shoulders and coaxed her, "How could Yunxi be willing to let me fend for myself? It's because of Yunxi that I don't have to worry about my injuries. Yunxi will heal me anyway."
