The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 538 Resignation
The purple-robed guards quickly brought the gunpowder, and everyone left the bedroom. The purple-robed guards lit the gunpowder. Xiao Mubei reached out and took Chu Yunxi into his arms, with his back facing the bedroom, and covered her ear with one hand. Chu Yunxi felt that the anger she had just felt quickly disappeared, and only sweetness remained in her heart.
There was a loud bang, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the purple-robed guard went in first and shouted from inside: "My lord, the secret passage has exploded."
Xiao Mubei immediately ordered, "Chase."
Everyone walked into the secret passage. Xiao Mubei also walked in with Chu Yunxi. What was unexpected was that the secret passage was very short. The exit was in an alley on the next street. Outside the alley, there were people coming and going, and it was very lively.
A purple-clad guard asked a vendor at the alley entrance, "Did you see a pregnant woman come out of the alley two quarters of an hour ago? Where did she go?"
The vendor hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's going that way." He pointed to the right.
The purple-robed guards immediately chased over there, and after everyone had left, no one saw that the vendor had a smile on his face, a look of success.
The pursuit continued until night but still yielded nothing. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were still worried about Qin Youwei, so they ordered Li Jinghong to continue the search with his men, while the two of them returned to the palace and went directly to the side courtyard.
Qin Youwei had indeed woken up, but he still didn't know what had happened. Qingmei comforted him and told him that the prince had instructed him to rest assured and that she would tell him everything when the prince came back. Although he was confused, he didn't say anything.
Xiao Mubei asked Chu Yunxi to go back to Xiaoyueju to rest first, and he went to see Qin Youwei alone.
Chu Yunxi had been running around all day and was indeed very tired. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. After a while, she felt her body spinning again. It was a long-lost feeling. Chu Yunxi was startled and opened her eyes quickly. Sure enough, she found herself in chaos again. There was a ball of red light floating in front of her, and in the red light, there was a white and clean baby with complete hands and feet. It was extremely cute and was looking at her with a pair of big black and white eyes.
Chu Yunxi was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to touch the baby, but her hand passed through the red light and did not touch anything. She then remembered that she was just a soul and could not touch anything, so she said, "Xiao Sui, why did you bring mother here again?"
The baby blinked his eyes and squeaked twice, but no one knew what he said. Then the red light left his body and began to revolve around Chu Yunxi's body. Chu Yunxi only felt that her soul was warm and very comfortable. The previous feeling of fatigue was swept away, and even the dizziness brought by the rotation was much lighter.
"Xiao Sui, do you know that mother is tired? Do you want to give mother a massage? You are such a good boy." Chu Yunxi sighed comfortably, closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort brought to her by her son. Unknowingly, she fell asleep again.
When she woke up the next morning, Xiao Mubei was still asleep. Chu Yunxi gently sat up from his arms and felt her body. She found it very comfortable. All the discomfort caused by pregnancy had disappeared. She felt that her body was better than before she was pregnant.
Just as she was secretly delighted, Xiao Mubei's voice came lazily from behind her, "Yunxi, why did you wake up so early? Go to sleep for a while."
Chu Yunxi happily lay on Xiao Mubei's body, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Do you know what your son did last night?"
"Xiao Sui? Did he allow your soul to travel through time again?" Xiao Mubei's expression was stern. "Didn't the master say that the crisis has been completely resolved?"
"The crisis is over, don't be nervous. Xiao Sui used the Soul-Restoring Pearl to nourish me last night. Now I feel very comfortable all over. I don't feel tired like before at all." Chu Yunxi said with some pride.
Xiao Mubei relaxed and narrowed his eyes. "This kid has a conscience. When he is born, his father will have a big reward."
Chu Yunxi was kicked twice in the stomach. Chu Yunxi touched her stomach in surprise, "He responded. He just kicked me."
Xiao Mubei also smiled. He hugged Chu Yunxi and said, "This child will do great things in the future, so he will definitely be very busy. After he is born, I will ask for leave from His Majesty for some time and take you to travel around the mountains and rivers. While he is still young, let him travel thousands of miles to broaden his horizons, so that he will definitely not be short-sighted in the future."
Chu Yunxi laughed, "But he's just a little baby. Even if you take him around the world, he won't remember anything."
Xiao Mubei shook his head. "I don't think so. His intelligence has developed so early that he can understand our conversation now. Do you still want to look at him as an ordinary child? I think he must be smarter than ordinary children. Therefore, we must start training him as early as possible so that he can be ahead of other children of the same age."
Chu Yunxi pondered it carefully and felt that what he said seemed to make sense. After further pondering, she asked doubtfully, "You don't want to go out and play for a while and relax, do you?"
"The one who knows me best is the princess." Xiao Mubei laughed and sat up. "Okay, get up. We have to send Mr. Qin back home today and interrogate Lin Shize. Princess, don't you think we are too busy and we should take a break?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty, I think your suggestion is very good. After I give birth to a child, we will leave. We will be away for three to five years and then come back. Then we can go to the Dali Temple to continue investigating the case..."
This topic continued until it was time to send Qin Youwei back home. As soon as Chu Yunxi saw Qin Youwei, she could tell that he was much weaker, and even his lips were pale. However, as soon as he got on the carriage, he thanked Chu Yunxi, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life. If it wasn't for your prompt discovery, I'm afraid I would have lost my life without knowing how. Alas!"
Chu Yunxi curled her lips, "Don't worry, Lord Qin. If it were anyone else, I would do my best to save him. However, Lord Qin is weak now. I can take Lord Qin's pulse and prescribe a prescription. Lord Qin needs to take good care of himself after he returns."
"In that case, thank you very much." Qin Youwei stretched out his hand and Chu Yunxi felt his pulse. He had some illnesses to begin with, and he was very weak due to excessive blood loss and the invasion of poisonous insects. Chu Yunxi wrote a prescription and gave it to Qin Youwei, asking him to rest well. Xiao Mubei also said that he would help him ask for leave from the emperor, and he would report to the Hanlin Academy after he recovered.
Qin Youwei thanked him profusely and said as he got off the carriage: "In the next two days, I will write a memorial and ask for an imperial decree to retire and return home. It is my fault that something like this happened in the Hanlin Academy. I have no face to return to the Hanlin Academy. Please tell His Majesty to find a capable person to take over the position of Hanlin Academy Bachelor as soon as possible."
