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

After Chu Yunxi calmed down, she said, "I knew you wouldn't listen and catch up on your sleep. You and your servant are the same. You don't take your own lives seriously."

Bai Yu was choked and secretly made up his mind that the next time Chu Yunxi called him, he would not come out immediately. He would have to see the situation clearly before considering whether to come out or not.

"Thank you for your concern, young lady. I have the inner strength, so I can make it through the night."

"Does having inner strength allow me to squander my health at will?"

Bai Yu couldn't answer the question, so he had to change the subject, "Miss, what instructions do you have for me?"

Chu Yunxi remembered the reason why she asked Bai Yu to come out, so she said, "I don't have any instructions, I just want to ask you, how much is your monthly salary for serving the prince?"

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss, are you short of money?"

It's not just a shortage, it's that there is nothing at all, Chu Yunxi complained in her heart. As a self-reliant and strong woman in the new era, she knows the importance of making money. A penny can make a hero fall. When King Dingbei gets better, she will have to leave the palace anyway. She has to understand the market situation in advance so that she can make further plans.

"I just want to know, for example, is your monthly salary enough to support your family?"

Although Bai Yu didn't understand, he still said, "To answer the young lady's question, I was picked up by the prince when I was young. I have no family, so I don't need to support a family. The prince gives me five taels of silver a month, which is enough for me to spend."

Five taels. Chu Yunxi pondered in her mind, "What about Zi Han and Hong Yu? Five taels too?"

"Zi Han is the head guard of the palace, and her monthly salary is a little higher than that of my subordinates, six taels. Hong Yu is the head maid, and she gets three taels per month."

Bai Yu answered honestly, and seeing Chu Yunxi looking thoughtful, he asked, "If the girl is short of money, you can tell the prince, and the prince will not treat the girl unfairly."

Chu Yunxi waved her hand and said, "No merit, no reward. Okay, I'm fine. The prince has nothing to do for the time being. You can just let Hei Mu stay here and you go and have a rest."

Bai Yu responded in confusion and looked at Heimu on the tree. Neither of them understood Chu Yunxi's intention.

Chu Yunxi returned to the room. Xiao Mubei was still sleeping. She sat at the table with her chin propped up, thinking. The Dingbei Palace was a wealthy family, and the monthly wages of servants must be higher than those of ordinary families. In this case, the maids and servants of ordinary families would probably earn two taels of silver, and the total monthly income of the maids and servants' families should not exceed five taels. In other words, five taels of silver could allow an ordinary family to live for a month.

She had a rough idea in her mind that once Xiao Mubei got better, she would have to leave and earn money to support herself.

Life is hard!

There was a knock on the door, Chu Yunxi went to open it, and Zi Han said at the door: "Miss, I have something urgent to ask you to see the prince."

"The prince..." Chu Yunxi wanted to say that he was asleep, but then she heard Xiao Mubei's voice, "Come in."

So he wasn't asleep? Chu Yunxi looked back and saw that Xiao Mubei had sat up, so she had to move aside to let Zi Han in. She was thinking to herself, is this sleeping pill ineffective on him? Has he been pretending to sleep?

Zi Han came in and walked to the bedside, "Your Majesty, that man committed suicide by taking poison."

"Recruited?"

Zi Han knelt down, "I am incompetent."

Xiao Mubei was silent for a while, "Get up, this guy is just a pawn for the other party to kill me, so I let you catch him, deal with him, and then think of other ways."

"But the poison in the prince's body..."

"It's okay, you can go down."

Zi Han stepped back in response. Chu Yunxi saw that there was no medicine left in the bottle and went forward to remove the needle.

Xiao Mubei looked at her and said, "Miss, since you can see that I'm poisoned, can you tell how long I can suppress the poison?"

Chu Yunxi pulled out the needle and said, "This poison is very dangerous. I don't understand how you martial artists can suppress it with your internal energy. If an ordinary person is poisoned by this poison, he will not live more than three months at most. You may live a little longer."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "That is to say, if I can't find the antidote within three months, I will still die, right?"

"That's the theory." Chu Yunxi sighed in her heart. It was a pity that she could only identify the antidote but not develop it.

"The person you just talked about, is he the one who poisoned you?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, "But that person might have been sent to me by my opponent on purpose, in order to hasten my death from the poison."

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Can I see that person's body?"

There are usually many clues on the corpse. As an excellent forensic doctor, Chu Yunxi is not best at treating diseases, but performing autopsies. However, she cannot talk about this.

Xiao Mubei was indeed a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem strange for a doctor to not be afraid of corpses, so he said: "Okay, but can I go out now? I'll go with you."

He has been in this room for several days, and now that his wounds have basically healed, he really wants to go out for some fresh air.

Chu Yunxi looked into his cold eyes, which actually showed some hidden expectation. She softened her heart and said, "Forget it, let Bai Yu push you. Don't move around, lest the wound split open."

Xiao Mubei curled his lips and called Baiyu Heimu in to change clothes. The wheelchair had been prepared by Butler Ling and was pushed out directly.

Fortunately, it is early summer now and the weather is a little hot, so I don’t have to worry about catching a cold.

Before leaving, Chu Yunxi took out a protective mask and handed it to Xiao Mubei, "Put it on, and don't take it off until you return to this room, so as not to be infected with something unclean."

Xiao Mubei took it and put it on obediently. Chu Yunxi had worn a mask when treating her these past few days, so he had seen this thing before.

Chu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction. Although this patient had a high status, he was generally obedient.

Hei Mu has already sent a message to Zi Han. At this moment, the body has not moved and is still in the prison of Dingbei Palace.

Chu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable as soon as she entered the dim cell. She had been imprisoned in the Black Prison for a long time in her previous life. Seeing the cell reminded her of that unpleasant experience. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and followed Bai Yu and the others to the interrogation room.

The interrogation room was filled with the smell of blood. A bloody male corpse was lying on the ground. Chu Yunxi walked to the corpse without changing her expression, took out her professional gloves, put them on, and began to examine it.

The interrogation room was poorly lit, so Chu Yunxi asked Hei Mu to light two more lamps, and then undressed the corpse. The corpse had been whipped before, and there were many whipping wounds on the body. In ancient times, torture was used to extract confessions, so Chu Yunxi was not too surprised. She just didn't expect that Zi Han, a woman, would be so ruthless to her subordinates.
