Chapter 308 Bringing to justice
When they returned to the capital, it was already dark. Xiao Mubei instructed Li Jinghong to increase the number of people guarding Zhao Yuzhi at night. If Wen Rulan captured Wei Zhe'an and put him in jail, he and Chu Yunxi returned to the palace. They were too dirty, so they had to go back to take a shower and change clothes.
Hei Mu had gone back early to arrange meals, and Bai Yu drove the carriage without saying a word.
Chu Yunxi felt a little strange. Bai Yu seemed to have not spoken a word since he came down from the cliff.
She stuck her head out of the carriage and asked curiously, "Bai Yu, why did you suddenly become mute?"
Bai Yu said in a depressed mood, "It was because of my negligence that the princess was abducted. The prince and princess fell off a cliff and almost died. I am to blame. The prince clearly told me yesterday that Zhao Yuzhi might take some action, but I was still negligent. When I return to the palace later, I will accept the punishment myself."
"What kind of punishment? A beating?" Chu Yunxi found it a little funny. She didn't expect that this kid would be so stubborn.
"Well, according to military orders, dereliction of duty will be punished with fifty military sticks." Bai Yu said in a muffled voice.
Chu Yunxi shrunk her head into the carriage and shouted, "Your Highness, after fifty military sticks, how many days will the person have to lie down?"
Xiao Mubei knew that Chu Yunxi wanted to enlighten Bai Yu, so he cooperated and said, "At least half a month, right?"
"Half a month, Your Highness. Last time, Hei Mu lay in bed for more than half a month, so we had to do everything ourselves. We were almost in danger a few times. Do we have to investigate the case of those bones next? Your Highness, you are in trouble. Hei Mu can't handle it alone, and you have to do it yourself. What if the murderer is a vicious criminal? Tsk tsk, Your Highness, you are in danger. I have to think carefully and see how far I should hide when the time comes."
"There's no other way. I don't have enough men under my command. What else can I do if I don't do it myself? Otherwise, just drive away all the useless people. I can just recruit a new group of secret guards." Xiao Mubei's voice was loud.
Bai Yu thought about it for a while, and finally said timidly, "Then... Your Majesty, can you let me remember the military stick first and beat him when I'm not busy?"
"I have been really busy lately. Never mind. I will just do it reluctantly and write it down for you first."
Outside the carriage, Bai Yu finally curled up the corners of his mouth slowly. He was not stupid. The prince and princess acted like this just because they didn't want to punish him. However, he secretly made up his mind that he would work harder in the future, consider everything carefully, and protect the prince and princess.
After returning to the palace and just finishing bathing and changing clothes, Li Jinghong sent someone to report that Wen Rulan had captured Wei Zhe'an and was now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. Wen Rulan had already returned to Ruyun Tower.
Chu Yunxi was now completely relieved. She ate something in a hurry, returned to her room and fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she was still thinking, when others traveled through time, they all had delicious food and drinks, but when it came to her, she was busy like a top every day, and even getting a good night's sleep seemed to be a luxury.
Before she could finish complaining in her mind, she had already fallen asleep.
Yue Yanran came to Chu Yunxi with a pile of books, but was stopped by Hongyu. Seeing Hongyu being cautious, Yue Yanran immediately became cautious as well, "Sister Hongyu, give these books back to me. I can recite them all."
"Yanran is so great. She has saved a lot of people recently following Doctor Lu. She has become a female doctor who saves lives." Hongyu smiled and touched Yue Yanran's head.
During this period, Yue Yanran has been practicing medicine with Doctor Lu in Ruyun Building. She has accumulated a lot of practical experience and has matured a lot mentally. She can now handle some less complicated illnesses independently. Hongyu would occasionally go over to help, and Han Zhener would also often go over to help.
Hearing Hongyu praising her, Yue Yanran blushed and said, "Sister Hongyu, the princess is too busy. Doctor Lu said that there are some difficult diseases recently and he wants to discuss them with the princess. I also want to ask you for some more medical books. Could you please tell her tomorrow and ask her to take some time to go to Ruyun Tower?"
"Oh, little Yanran is getting better at talking now. Please convey my message to her. Why are you still so polite to Sister Hongyu? You go back and have a rest. I will definitely convey my message to the princess." Hongyu looked at Yue Yanran with a smile.
Yue Yanran also smiled brightly, "Thank you, Sister Hongyu."
Watching Yue Yanran fly away like a butterfly, Hongyu couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She really liked this little girl.
When Chu Yunxi got up the next day, Xiao Mubei had already entered the palace. He went to report to Emperor Sui Ming about Zhao Yuzhi. When Chu Yunxi finished washing and went to eat, she unexpectedly saw Chu Yuanxi, Chu Zhongxi and Han Zhener were all there.
Seeing Chu Yunxi, Han Zhener came over, took Chu Yunxi and looked at her carefully for a while, and said, "It's only been a few days since we last met, little sister, why have you lost weight again?"
Chu Yunxi smiled and patted the back of Han Zhener's hand, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. We have solved the serial rape and murder case in the capital."
Han Zhener pulled her to sit down, and Chu Yuanxi said in a reproachful tone: "No matter how important it is to solve the case, you must pay attention to your body and personal safety. What happened yesterday?"
They just heard last night that Chu Yunxi had been kidnapped. Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi were very anxious and wanted to rush into the palace to see Chu Yunxi, but were stopped by Bai Yu, who said that the princess was fine and was resting now, and asked them to come again early in the morning. The two brothers did not sleep well that night, so they rushed here early in the morning.
Chu Yunxi couldn't help salivating when she saw the table full of delicious food. She smiled and said, "It's okay. One of the perpetrators of the rape and murder case is the son of the Jingzhao prefect, so the Jingzhao prefect sent someone to arrest me to save his son."
"What's wrong with the prince? He can't even protect people. If this doesn't work, I might as well move back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion." Chu Zhongxi was a little dissatisfied.
Chu Yunxi stuck out her tongue and said deliberately, "Okay, second brother, go talk to the prince. If he agrees, I will move back immediately."
"Little sister, you..." Chu Zhongxi was so angry. He just wanted to complain when the prince was away. How could he say this to the prince? Besides, it was the prince who rescued his little sister this time.
Chu Yunxi smiled, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I know I made you worried, but no one expected this, so I can't blame anyone. Fortunately, it was a close call. I will be careful in the future and will not let the bad guys take advantage of me. Come eat, I'm so hungry."
As soon as Chu Yunxi shouted that she was hungry, the anger of the two sister-doting maniacs immediately disappeared without a trace, and they rushed to put food on Chu Yunxi's plate.
"Try this now. Your sister-in-law got up early in the morning and made it for you..."
Chu Yunxi thanked Han Zhener and felt extremely happy. The complaints she had before going to bed last night had long since disappeared, replaced by satisfaction. It seemed that her own time travel was no worse than that of others.
