Yue Qingyun shook his head. "At that time, our people went to pursue King Dingbei. I don't know who cleaned up the battlefield later. Maybe it was the Nandi Army that cleaned it. The same goes for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. The Nandi Army cleaned up the battlefield. I only know that His Majesty personally ordered that the corpse must not be desecrated and must be buried properly. As for where it was buried, I don't know."

Chu Yunxi was silent. Today she finally learned the details of her father and brother's death. It was extremely tragic. The Chu family was full of loyal and brave people who devoted their lives to the country and died for it, but they were accused of treason and surrendering to the enemy. How unfair!

Chu Yunxi didn't want to see Yue Qingyun now, so she asked Bai Yu to take him away. Yue Qingyun wanted to say something before leaving, but seeing Chu Yunxi's unfriendly face, he swallowed it and left in silence.

Chu Yunxi put the confessions of Yue Haoran and Yue Qingyun together, and took out the letters between Prince Jingyuan and Wu Di, and looked up at Xiao Mubei, "Now that we have these evidences, our chances of overturning the case are greater."

"Today, my third brother was punished by the emperor to be grounded." Xiao Mubei gathered all the evidence and put it in Chu Yunxi's hand. "Our first step of the plan has been successful, but next, if we want to completely overthrow our third brother and overturn the case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, we must not rush it."

"I understand," Chu Yunxi sniffed, "I know how difficult this is. I believe you can do it. I will wait."

An indescribable emotion rose in Xiao Mubei's heart, and his nose felt a little sour. Why was this woman always so considerate?

"I asked someone to check. All the witnesses in the Langya Army were brought to the capital. It was because of their testimony and the instigation of my third brother that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was convicted so quickly. There were not many survivors in the Langya Army this time, and most of them were those led by Lin Haifu. I originally suspected Lin Haifu, and now it has been confirmed."

Chu Yunxi asked doubtfully, "Is Lin Haifu in Beijing now?"

"Of course he was. He came back as a survivor after the war. The emperor personally met him and asked him about his situation. It is said that Lin Haifu was alone with the emperor in the imperial study for an hour. After that, my third brother and the crown prince went together. Afterwards, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was convicted, and the decree to confiscate his property and exterminate his clan was also issued."

Xiao Mubei thought about all this and said, "It all fits together. This was all planned by Third Brother. He also dragged the Crown Prince into this trap. He was the one who colluded with Nan Di, but the one who took the blame was Marquis Zhongyong. Their plan was very thorough this time, one thing after another, and the main goal was to be fast, accurate and ruthless. At that time, my life was in danger, and no one dared to stand up for Marquis Zhongyong."

Chu Yunxi slammed the table and gritted her teeth and said, "Prince Jingyuan can wait, but this Lin Haifu is too abominable. I will make him taste the punishment of slow slicing."

Bai Yu came back and said to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi: "Yue Qingyun asked for paper and pen, but I don't know what to write."

Xiao Mubei said: "Give him paper and pen, he might want to write a suicide note."

Bai Yu agreed and went out to do his work. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi also left the prison. They had spent the whole day in the prison and had not even had lunch. As soon as they came out, Chu Yunxi felt hungry.

Xiao Mubei was about to ask Hei Mu to order the meals, but Chu Yunxi stopped him and said, "Your Highness, I want to go out for a walk."

Since coming to the Dali Temple, Chu Yunxi has been handling cases every day and hasn't even had time to go out. Today, she just felt suffocated and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

It was already the end of the afternoon, and it was getting dark. Xiao Mubei thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me. I'll go change my clothes and take you somewhere."

Before Chu Yunxi had the chance to ask him where he was going, he had already used his lightness skills to leave. Chu Yunxi had no choice but to slowly walk towards the entrance of Dali Temple.

Li Jinghong hurried past and didn't see Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi called him, "Li Shaoqing, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Shaoqing paused and said, "Miss Chu, are you going out too?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, and seeing that Li Jinghong's smile was forced and anxious, she said, "Yes, Li Shaoqing, if you have something to do, go first. I will wait for the prince."

"Okay, wait a moment, young lady. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he hurriedly bowed to Chu Yunxi and left.

Chu Yunxi felt that Li Jinghong must have something wrong, but since he didn't say anything, she couldn't force him to ask. Who doesn't have privacy?

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Mubei came. He changed into a moon-white gown, and a jade crown held his long hair up high. He had a soft whip wrapped around his waist, which made his broad shoulders and narrow waist look very handsome.

Chu Yunxi watched him approaching, and she felt her vision was strongly impacted again. The man in front of her was using his handsomeness to commit crimes again. However, working in front of such a handsome face every day, she felt that her efficiency would be greatly improved.

"Prince," Chu Yunxi approached him and asked quietly, "Are there many girls chasing after you in the capital?"

"Chase? What does that mean?" Xiao Mubei didn't understand.

"That's what I mean by that I like you." Chu Yunxi said calmly, "You're so handsome, and you're a prince, so there must be a lot of noble ladies trying their best to marry you, right?"

Xiao Mubei's face turned black. He stuffed a purse into Chu Yunxi's hand and said stiffly, "No noble lady wants to marry me."

Chu Yunxi took the purse and untied it while saying, "This shouldn't be the case. Are all the noble ladies in the capital blind?"

Xiao Mubei felt speechless, but at the same time he felt a little secretly happy in his heart. However, he could not show this feeling and could only remain calm on the surface.

Chu Yunxi opened her purse and exclaimed, "Wow!" She felt that the depressed mood she had just felt after listening to the story was instantly cured. The purse was full of small pieces of silver. Chu Yunxi counted them and found that there were more than twenty taels of silver.

"Your monthly silver." Xiao Mubei was in a good mood when he saw Chu Yunxi's eyes light up. "Since you've worked hard this month, I'll double your monthly silver. Go out and buy whatever you want later."

"Really?" Chu Yunxi cheered, "I finally got my salary."

What is salary? Xiao Mubei didn't understand, but Chu Yunxi didn't wait for him to figure it out and dragged him out, "Boss, no, Your Majesty, let's go, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

Xiao Mubei couldn't help laughing, but she wanted to treat him to a meal just after taking more than twenty taels of silver. This girl was really interesting.

Chu Yunxi was very interested and raised her head, shouting to the tree: "Baiyu Heimu, come on, let's go eat together."

The two people on the tree laughed at the same time, looked at each other, and said silently, See, I knew the girl would not forget us, she is better than the prince.

King Dingbei didn't know that his two subordinates had already turned against him. Chu Yunxi pulled him out of the Dali Temple and stood on the street. Chu Yunxi looked around and asked, "Prince, where is the snack stand?"
