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

"Princess, wake up." Hongyu had to pat Chu Yunxi's face, but she frowned, unconsciously reached out to wipe her face, and continued to sleep.

Ruby: ………

What should she do? Hongyu had no choice but to ask Xiao Mubei for help. After all, the prince and princess were already married, and she couldn't ask anyone else for help. Although Hongyu knew that they had not consummated their marriage, she had no choice but to do so.

Xiao Mubei had not slept yet. There was only one clean room in this small courtyard. After Chu Yunxi went in, he waited in the study first. By the way, he read Doctor Yan's case files again. The case had not been solved yet, and these materials had not been sorted out yet.

When Hongyu knocked on the door, he thought Chu Yunxi had something to ask him again. After hearing what Hongyu said, Xiao Mubei remained silent and did not move.

There’s no problem in carrying Chu Yunxi to sleep, but the key is that she’s… not wearing any clothes.

Seeing that Xiao Mubei's ears were red and he didn't move for a long time, Hongyu could only ask tentatively: "My Lord, the water is getting cold. Otherwise, why don't you hold me with your eyes closed?"

This was the only way. Xiao Mubei said, "Go get a quilt. After I carry the princess out, wrap her up to prevent her from catching a cold."

"Okay." Hongyu ran to the bedroom to get it.

Xiao Mubei walked towards the bathroom. It seemed that Chu Yunxi was really too tired recently. He suddenly felt a little distressed. Girls from other families had maids and old women serving them at home every day, but Chu Yunxi followed him around every day, solving cases day and night and not being able to sleep all night. It seemed that he had to keep an eye on her in the future and not let her stay up late anymore.

When he walked into the bathroom, he saw Chu Yunxi sleeping soundly with her head tilted on the edge of the bathtub. The skin on her shoulders exposed was smooth, delicate, and white.

Xiao Mubei immediately closed his eyes and refused to look at anything inappropriate.

Walking to the bathtub by feeling, Xiao Mubei first found Chu Yunxi's head and placed it on his left arm. He put her hands on his neck and reached his right hand into the water to feel her knees.

As soon as his right hand entered the water, he felt something soft. He immediately retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and almost pulled his left hand away. Fortunately, he noticed it in time and managed to steady his left hand, so as not to throw Chu Yunxi into the water.

Closing his eyes tighter, Xiao Mubei despised himself in his heart, took a deep breath, and put his right hand into the water again. This time he deliberately avoided it a little, and reached all the way to the bottom of the water. Finally, he touched Chu Yunxi's feet, and followed her feet to the bend of her legs.

With a push of both hands, Chu Yunxi was easily carried out of the water. In her dream, Chu Yunxi consciously hugged Xiao Mubei's neck tightly, leaned her head into his arms, and found a comfortable position.

Xiao Mubei's whole body was a little stiff. His palms touched the smooth skin and he felt his whole body was hot. Hearing Hongyu running over, he whispered, "Wrap her up quickly."

A layer of soft brocade quilt covered Chu Yunxi. Xiao Mubei then opened his eyes and strode towards Chu Yunxi's bedroom.

The quilt was wet, but Chu Yunxi was dry. Xiao Mubei closed his eyes again and asked Hongyu to take away the wet quilt. He bent down and gently put Chu Yunxi on the bed sideways, pulled the quilt over the bed to cover her, then opened his eyes and told Hongyu, "Dry the princess' hair and let her turn over."

Hongyu agreed, and Xiao Mubei went out. When the cool night breeze blew, he found that his back was soaked with sweat.

The warmth in his palm was still there, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in Xiao Mubei's nose. He didn't expect that she smelled so good.

"Your Highness, I found out." Bai Yu suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Mubei. He immediately clasped his hands behind his back, calmed his mind, and restrained his expression.

I didn't even hear the sound of Bai Yu coming back just now.

Bai Yu didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Mubei. When he came back, he saw the prince standing alone in the yard, so he immediately stepped forward to report. Just after he said a word, he realized that the prince's clothes were all wet.

"Your Highness, your clothes..."

"No problem, tell me what you found out."

"Yes," Bai Yu said hurriedly, "I followed Lin Haifu all the way and found that he did not go home, but went to... Anyang Palace."

Xiao Mubei's heart sank, King Anyang, fifth brother.

I didn't expect that Lin Haifu was actually the fifth brother's man. However, the fourth and fifth brothers have always been dependent on the third brother, King Jingyuan. Lin Haifu is in the same group with them, and I don't know how many shameful things they have colluded with each other to do.

Xiao Mubei knew that he still had a long way to go to completely overthrow King Jingyuan. Now he was only punished with house arrest, and the complex forces behind him had not been shaken at all. Although he now had evidence of his collusion with Nan Di, if he was not sure of uprooting him, he would most likely revive, and it would be even more difficult to deal with him then.

"The Anyang Palace was heavily guarded. I did not go in, but waited for Lin Haifu from a distance. He went in and came out after about a cup of tea. This time he went straight home and did not come out again."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Very good, you have worked hard, go and have a rest."

Bai Yu was flattered. He felt that the prince had become more and more considerate of them recently. It seemed that the princess still had a great influence on the prince.

That night, Chu Yunxi slept very soundly without having any dreams, and slept until dawn.

After waking up, the room was already filled with sunlight. Chu Yunxi stretched herself and suddenly realized that she was not wearing any undershirt.

Last night...when did she go to bed?

She tried hard to think about it, but her memory only stayed at the time when she took a bath. Could it be that she fell asleep while taking a bath?

I got up and put on my clothes. Hongyu came in with some water. "Princess, you are awake. Come and wash up and have breakfast."

Chu Yunxi went over to wash her face, "Hongyu, when did I fall asleep last night? How did you get me back to the room?"

She had never slept so soundly before and she was really exhausted recently.

"How could I bring the princess back? It was the prince who brought you back." Hongyu said as she made the bed.

Chu Yunxi had just scooped up a handful of water to her face, and was stunned when she heard the words. The water all flowed down through her fingers. What? This time she was so embarrassed, and besides, wouldn't he see her naked?

"Don't worry, Princess. The prince held me with his eyes closed, so he didn't see anything."

Seeing Chu Yunxi not moving for a long time, Hongyu hurriedly explained, Chu Yunxi felt that she was about to have a heart attack, could she just close her eyes and not touch him? Isn't this just deceiving herself?

Never mind. Anyway, I have seen his body, so I might as well return it to you. Chu Yunxi wanted to cry but had no tears. She comforted herself palely in her heart.

"Princess, the prince asked me to ask you if you have had breakfast. If you have, please go to the lobby. The coachman has been found."

Hei Mu's voice sounded outside the door. Chu Yunxi immediately put that matter behind her, responded, took a steamed bun and went out, eating as she walked.
