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

Chapter 217 Meeting in a Dream

Xiao Mubei had already written a memorial overnight and ordered the Purple Guards to rush it to the palace 800 miles away. At this moment, he told Qi Yang the whole story of the case. Qi Yang was so angry that he slapped the wall, "What a bunch of scum!"

Xiao Mubei and Qi Yang were talking outside the Chen family. Xiao Mubei pointed to the rows of coffins in the courtyard and said, "These are left to you to deal with. Make sure to bury them properly. Also, take good care of Wang Youkang and the Chen brothers. His Majesty will issue an order soon."

Qi Yang responded, "On behalf of the people of Muyue Town, I would like to thank the prince for getting rid of this evil for the people."

Seeing that Qi Yang was well-educated, hated evil, and seemed to be a reliable person, Xiao Mubei said, "I have already informed His Majesty that Muyue Town will be temporarily handed over to you for management. I will go to the county government office to find the official seal and give it to you until His Majesty sends a new county magistrate. I have important matters to attend to, so I will leave after I finish this matter."

Qi Yang bowed and saluted, "I will obey the prince's orders and will not let him down."

So Xiao Mubei and his party went to the county government office with Qi Yang, found Wang Youkang's official seal and gave it to Qi Yang, then left Mu Yue Town.

After leaving Muyue Town, Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally over. These past two days have been too depressing. The last thing I want to see is the dead body of a child. I'd rather move bricks for a few more days."

"Moving bricks?" Xiao Mubei found this term very new.

Chu Yunxi explained, "Moving bricks doesn't mean moving bricks, it just means working."

So that's how it is. Xiao Mubei considerately massaged Chu Yunxi's temples and said, "Relax, don't think about those things anymore, and get some sleep. In another half a month, we will be in Southern Xinjiang, and we will be busy then."

Chu Yunxi hummed softly and felt drowsy. She had stayed up all night last night and had experienced such a thrilling thing yesterday. Now that she relaxed, she felt tiredness in every part of her body. After saying a few words, she could no longer hold on and fell asleep on Xiao Mubei's shoulder unknowingly.

Xiao Mubei touched Chu Yunxi's hair lovingly, listening to her even breathing, and felt very peaceful in his heart. Since when did he start to feel at ease as long as she was by his side?

She slept very deeply, and while swaying, Chu Yunxi saw a chaotic space. She looked around, but it was all white and she could not see anything.

Where is this? Wasn't she on her way to southern Xinjiang? How did she get here? Where is Xiao Mubei?

"Your Majesty?"

She called out tentatively, but received no response. Chu Yunxi felt a little panicked. The unknown was the most frightening thing. She couldn't help but think back to her days in the Black Prison, where there was endless darkness and no hope at all.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared in front of her. Chu Yunxi looked over intently, but couldn't see who it was. She asked, "Who are you?"

The person opposite chuckled, "I'm Chu Yunxi."

Chu Yunxi was furious, "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be me?"

The outline of the person opposite her slowly emerged, and she actually looked exactly like her. Chu Yunxi was stunned, and she saw herself opposite her sighing with resentment, and said, "I am also Chu Yunxi, Chu Xiuyao is my father, Chu Zhongxi is my second brother, and Chu Yuanxi is my eldest brother."

Chu Yunxi's fear grew stronger and stronger. "You are the owner of this body? Aren't you dead?"

"I am dead," the man opposite stared at Chu Yunxi, "but I still have a trace of soul left in this body. If not, even if you came in time, this body would have already become a corpse, and you would not be able to come back to life. As for me, once this trace of soul dissipates, I will enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn."

Chu Yunxi listened to her and thought, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"You are really smart. No wonder you can adapt to life here so quickly. You can't feel me on weekdays. You can only feel me when you are extremely weak. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Chu Yunxi frowned, "Are you waiting for me?"

"That's right. You are Chu Yunxi now. There are many things that only you can do now. I know that you have my memory in your mind. I wonder if you can still remember that when I was eight years old, I was playing outside and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. It was a teenager who helped me take out the poison, bandaged me, and carried me back home regardless of the danger."

Chu Yunxi thought hard and seemed to have some impression. However, she was forced to receive the memory and did not know which event occupied an important position in the original owner's mind, so she just had a memory.

"I have some impression, what's wrong?"

"At that time, I told the young man that I should repay his life-saving grace with gratitude. If he needs my help in the future, he can come to me and give me the jade hairpin as a token of trust."

"So what?" Chu Yunxi had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the person on the other side said, "The day before the Marquis's mansion was raided, I received a jade hairpin and a letter from him. In the letter, he wrote about what he wanted me to do for him."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yunxi felt that her voice was trembling a little.

"He said he hoped I could go to Lijia Village in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible and find a person named Zhuoma to help him pass on a message."

"What?"

"The time has come."

The time has come? What does it mean? Chu Yunxi asked the person on the other side, but unfortunately she didn't know either. She only said that because this was the thing that lingered in her mind at the end of her life, she couldn't let it go and wanted to figure it out.

"Can you help me? I know you are going to southern Xinjiang to find my brother, so why not go to Lijia Village while you are there? Maybe you can get something else."

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, "What if I help you figure out the truth? How can I tell you?"

She didn't know how she could see her, when she was extremely weak? How could she be extremely weak? Did she have to stay awake for days and nights?

The person on the other side seemed to know what she was thinking. "You don't need to stay up for days and nights. I can feel everything you do. After all, this is my body."

These words made Chu Yunxi's face turn red. She felt like a thief, occupying someone else's body and being complacent about it.

"Okay, I will go to Lijia Village, find Zhuoma, and find out what happened. After that, you can leave with peace of mind."

Since it is impossible to return her body to her, we should help her enter reincarnation as soon as possible and not let her suffer in this chaos.

The person on the other side smiled brightly, "Thank you, Yunxi."

Chu Yunxi felt that she was unworthy of the thanks and was about to say something else, but the person opposite her had disappeared. She became anxious and shouted, "Don't leave. Where are you going?"

At this moment, Xiao Mubei's anxious cry was heard in his ears, "Yunxi, Yunxi, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"
