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

Chu Yunxi's anger was instantly extinguished by his four words. Forget it, considering that the emperor is Xiao Mubei's father, she will not bother with him for the time being.

"By the way, how is the investigation of Doctor Yan going?"

"Li Jinghong is investigating and has not reported back today. I am too busy today. Let's go to the Dali Temple to follow up tomorrow."

Chu Yunxi thought about it and it made sense. She had gotten up in the early morning and had been busy until now without blinking an eye. She really had no free time at all. It felt like she had to find time to even get married. What kind of life was this? It was even busier than her previous life.

"Okay, I'm going to bed now. I'm seriously sleep deprived." Chu Yunxi yawned and said, "I'm leaving. You should go to bed early too."

As she spoke, she opened the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw Butler Ling wandering at the door, rubbing his hands and looking anxious, as if he had something difficult to say.

As soon as he saw Chu Yunxi, he hurriedly took a step forward and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"Butler Ling, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Chu Yunxi walked out of the room and Xiao Mubei followed her out.

Housekeeper Ling wiped his sweat and said, "Princess, today is the day you and the prince are getting married. Normally, I shouldn't come to spoil your fun, but... it's really because of that old man from the Yue family. He... he's dying. Now he's holding on for a breath and wants to see the prince and princess."

Chu Yunxi was startled and immediately walked out quickly. It was bad. When she saw him at the west gate in the morning, she felt something was wrong. He was old and had witnessed his adopted son being beheaded. This shock would definitely cause something bad to happen.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Chu Yunxi almost ran away.

Butler Ling also trotted along, panting as he ran: "Old slave, I was afraid of disturbing the prince and princess, so I wanted to talk to him tomorrow morning, but seeing that he couldn't wait until tomorrow morning, I had to come."

“Human lives are at stake, what’s the matter…” Before she could finish her words, Chu Yunxi felt her feet lighten, her waist tightened, and she was already flying into the air.

Qinggong was so fast that in the blink of an eye they arrived at the courtyard where Yue Shanhai and Yue Yanran lived. Chu Yunxi rushed into the room as soon as she landed. There was a small oil lamp that was about to go out. Chu Yunxi saw Yue Shanhai lying on the bed, completely exhausted.

When he saw Chu Yunxi, his eyes, which had originally been dull, brightened up a little. Yue Yanran was babbling and playing by herself beside him, completely unaware that her father was about to leave her.

When she saw Chu Yunxi, Yue Yanran's brows immediately lit up with joy. She still remembered that this sister had given her a beautiful pearl hairpin last time. This sister was a good person.

"Sister, sister, come and play with Yanran. Daddy won't play with me."

Yue Yanran ran to Chu Yunxi, grabbed her arm and shook her.

Chu Yunxi patted Yue Yanran's hand and forced a smile, "Be good, Yanran. Sister has something to do with Dad right now. Can you play by yourself first?"

Yue Yanran let go in disappointment, pouted and sat aside to play. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei walked to the head of Yue Shanhai's bed, and Yue Shanhai propped himself up and tried to sit up.

Chu Yunxi hurriedly held him down and whispered, "Lie still, I'll check you."

Chu Yunxi took out the stethoscope and the more she listened, the colder her heart became. Yue Shanhai's body was already at the end of its life. Even if he used the best medicine, he could only live a few more hours.

Yue Shanhai seemed to have expected this. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, no, Princess, don't bother. I feel guilty for disturbing the prince and princess' wedding tonight. I know my own body and I can't hold on for much longer. In fact, my life is complete with a lovely wife, a filial son, and both sons and daughters. I am very content. I have lived to this age and it is not a loss."

Chu Yunxi silently put away the stethoscope. Xiao Mubei looked at her expression and knew the answer, so he asked, "Uncle Yue, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Yue Shanhai stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Yue Yanran. Chu Yunxi immediately understood. She stood up and led Yue Yanran over. Yue Yanran looked at her in confusion, but followed her obediently.

Chu Yunxi put Yue Yanran's hand in Yue Shanhai's and said, "Uncle Yue, don't worry. From now on, Yanran is my sister."

Before he died, Yue Haoran told her the news about her brother. In return, it was only natural for her to help him take care of her sister. What's more, Yue Yanran was ignorant and her relatives were all about to be gone. If she was left wandering outside, she would probably die soon. She couldn't bear it.

When Yue Shanhai heard Chu Yunxi say this, he immediately felt relieved. He could completely trust the character of Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi.

"Thank you, Princess. For the great kindness that the prince and princess have shown to my Yue family, I, Yue Shanhai, will definitely repay them even if I have to work like a slave in my next life."

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "You don't have to repay me. Yue Haoran also helped me a lot. We are even now. Just rest assured. I will never treat Yanran unfairly."

"I... believe in Princess Yanran," Yue Shanhai turned his gaze to Yue Yanran, his eyes full of love. He held Yue Yanran's hand with one hand and tremblingly touched her face with the other hand, "Daughter, from now on, Daddy can't accompany you. You... follow Sister Princess and be obedient, okay?"

Yue Yanran asked with her big eyes flashing: "Where are you going, Daddy? Can you take Yanran with you? Yanran wants to follow Daddy."

Yue Shanhai smiled bitterly, "Silly daughter, Daddy is going to a very far place this time to find your mother and your brother. Daddy can't bring you this time. Princess sister has... a lot of... a lot of delicious food and fun things here. Yanran... Yanran must be good, understand?"

Chu Yunxi turned her head away, feeling really uncomfortable. Separation from life and death is the greatest suffering in the world, and she really couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Yue Yanran nodded in confusion, "Okay, Yanran will definitely be obedient, then Daddy must come back soon to pick up Yanran."

“Okay, Yanran, be good and go with Sister Princess.” Yue Shanhai patted Yue Yanran’s hand, looking at her reluctantly, and then said to Chu Yunxi: “Princess…Princess, take her away now. I don’t want…I don’t want her to see…that scene.”

Chu Yunxi nodded, took Yue Yanran's hand, and looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei nodded at her, let them go first, and stayed behind.

Chu Yunxi took one last look at Yue Shanhai and suddenly said, "Yanran, come and kowtow to your father. He will be leaving soon."

Yue Yanran was indeed very obedient. She knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word. Yue Shanhai could no longer hold back and burst into tears. He immediately turned his head away, trying not to choke out his sobs. He waved his hand vaguely, and Chu Yunxi took Yue Yanran away.

Not long after they walked away, the wick of the oil lamp in the house exploded and then went out all of a sudden. The whole yard was plunged into darkness. Chu Yunxi stopped and did not move for a long time.
