The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

When Chu Yunxi returned to Dali Temple, she was too tired to walk. She found that mental work was not easy at all. She fell onto the bed and fell asleep immediately.

She didn't sleep for long. She woke up at the first crow of the rooster.

Something seemed to happen today. Chu Yunxi lay on the bed with her mind blank for a while before she suddenly remembered that today was the day when Yue Haoran and Yue Qingyun, the Nandi spies, would be executed.

Emperor Sui Ming originally sentenced Yue Haoran to be beheaded in public seven days later. Later, when Nankun Martial Arts School was raided, Emperor Sui Ming learned that they were in cahoots with Yue Haoran, so he ordered all of them to be beheaded together, which led to the mass beheading operation today.

More than twenty people were beheaded. The scene was horrific to imagine.

Chu Yunxi jumped up, all sleepiness gone. She washed quickly, tied her hair up simply, and rushed towards the prison.

Bai Yu fell from the tree, and seeing Chu Yunxi walking in a hurry, he chased after her and asked, "Miss, are you going to the prison?"

"Yes," Chu Yunxi said as she walked, "I want to go see if Yue Haoran has any last words to say."

"They have been taken to the west gate."

Chu Yunxi paused, "So fast, let's go to the west gate too."

"The prince has prepared a fast horse and is waiting for the girl at the door."

With such thoughtful considerations, Chu Yunxi felt that Xiao Mubei seemed to understand her more and more recently. He could always guess her thoughts in advance and arrange her itinerary.

When she ran to the gate of Dali Temple, Xiao Mubei was waiting there on a sturdy white horse. When he saw her coming out, he stretched out his hand to her and said, "Time is running out. They have been gone for half an hour. I will take you to chase them."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi was not shy. She stretched out her hand and, with the help of Xiao Mubei's strength, placed it in front of him. The two of them rode their horses and galloped towards the west city gate.

The West City Gate is where the capital's death row prisoners are beheaded. Countless prisoners have been beheaded here. Whenever a prisoner is executed, the place is always crowded with people. Almost half of the capital's population comes to watch the excitement.

It was the same today. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi could no longer walk before they even reached the execution ground. They had no choice but to dismount and walk. However, they could already see the prison van in front of them, so they had not yet reached the execution ground.

There were too many people, so Xiao Mubei couldn't use his Qinggong to fly Chu Yunxi over. The two could only follow the crowd and walk slowly forward. Chu Yunxi asked, "Prince, did they say anything when they left this morning?"

Xiao Mubei shook his head. "I didn't see them either. They had just left when I came back. I thought you might want to see Yue Haoran again, so I immediately prepared my horse, and then you came out."

Well, everyone was too busy. But we said everything that needed to be said yesterday. Chu Yunxi didn’t tell Yue Haoran about Yue Qingyun’s request. But she thought, Yue Haoran had never been back to Nandi in his life, so maybe he wanted to go back to his hometown and see what it was like?

If there was another chance later, she really wanted to seek his opinion again, but looking at the current situation, there was probably no chance.

There was a lot of noise in front. The prisoners had already gotten off the prison van and were in their positions. The execution was about to begin, but there was still a wall of people between Chu Yunxi and the execution platform!

"Forget it," Chu Yunxi said softly, "Maybe it's God's will."

Xiao Mubei couldn't bear to see her lost look, so he looked around and pulled Chu Yunxi into the restaurant next door. A waiter came up to them, and without saying a word, he stuffed a silver ingot into them and said, "Let me borrow your room for a while."

The two men went directly to the platform on the third floor. Looking down from above, they could see the situation on the execution platform. They saw more than twenty people kneeling in three rows. They were all wearing the same white prison uniforms and their heads lowered. Because of the distance, they could not tell who was who.

The person supervising the execution today was Marquis of Guoan Li Yian. He sat on the high execution platform, looking at the prisoners below with an expressionless face.

The prisoner in the middle of the first row suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Emperor Sui Ming is unkind, he believed in slander and framed loyal officials. The Marquis of Zhongyong was wrongly accused. Emperor Sui Ming has no virtue or talent. Such an emperor will sooner or later become the ruler of the country's ruin."

"Oh no," Chu Yunxi's face changed, "I forgot to tell Yue Qingyun about my identity yesterday. He suddenly mentioned the matter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion today. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for me."

The people were in an uproar, and the soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop Yue Qingyun, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking, I'll tear your mouth off."

"I'm going to die anyway, what do I have to fear?" Yue Qingyun laughed. "Your emperor is cruel and ruthless, and you won't let people say anything? It's true that I'm from Nandi, but if you Dasui are united, how can I have any loopholes to exploit?"

Li Yian shouted loudly on the execution platform: "Shut his mouth, quickly."

The soldiers rushed forward, and when the other people from the Nankun Martial Arts School saw the situation, they immediately echoed the trend, saying that there was internal strife in Dasui, and that the prince would do anything to seize the throne, etc., and the soldiers were busy for a while, trying to stop this and that.

Among these people, only the person on the far right of the third row knelt without moving, staring at Yue Qingyun's back. Chu Yunxi looked at him carefully and said, "That's Yue Haoran."

Yue Haoran seemed to sense that Chu Yunxi was talking about him. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards them. His eyes met Chu Yunxi's. He pursed his lips and smiled, saying silently, "Help me take care of my father and sister."

Chu Yunxi nodded, and he smiled with relief, without any fear on his face. His gaze returned to Yue Qingyun, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Does he know something?" Chu Yunxi felt that Yue Haoran's gaze was unusual. She couldn't tell what the feeling was, and the emotions in it were very complicated.

"Maybe." Xiao Mubei stood behind Chu Yunxi and saw their interaction clearly.

Suddenly, Chu Yunxi pointed downwards and exclaimed, "Yue Haoran's father, why is he here too?"

Xiao Mubei looked down in the direction of Chu Yunxi's hand, and sure enough, he saw Yue Shanhai in the sea of ​​people. He was standing in front of the right side of the execution platform, his body seemed to be even more hunched, and he was staring at Yue Haoran without blinking, turbid tears constantly flowing from his eyes.

"He is not suitable to watch this kind of scene. He is old and cannot stand this kind of stimulation. Let's take him away quickly." Chu Yunxi was anxious to go downstairs.

Xiao Mubei grabbed her and whispered, "It's too late."

Sure enough, when Guoan Hou Li Yian saw that the situation was about to get out of control, he did not bother to wait until three quarters after noon, and hurriedly took out the execution card, threw it on the ground, and shouted loudly: "The time has come, execute!"

The executioner had been waiting on the side. Upon hearing the order, he immediately raised his sword and slashed it down. The surrounding sounds disappeared instantly, and the scene was suddenly so quiet that only the sound of the head rolling to the ground could be heard!
