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

Chu Yunxi thought she had heard it wrong, "Huh?"

The man floated up again as he came, and a hoarse voice came down, "Before I change my mind."

Chu Yunxi naturally did not hesitate. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she knew to cherish her life.

After running out of the ruined temple, it was pitch black outside. Chu Yunxi didn't know where she was or which direction to go. While she was hesitating, a stone brushed her ear and flew to the front left, then fell far away.

Chu Yunxi knew that it was the person who had tied her up who was showing her the way. Since he had taken the trouble to tie her up, but then let her go and showed her the way, what on earth was wrong with this person? She really couldn't figure it out, but now was not the time to think about it. She said "thank you" in the direction where the stone came from, and then ran towards the left front.

After walking for about half an hour, they heard voices from the front. A big white dog suddenly rushed over from the front, circled around her, and barked loudly. Chu Yunxi was startled, but then she reacted, squatted down and said to the big dog: "You brought people to find me, right?"

The big dog stopped barking, whined twice, and sat down in front of Chu Yunxi, as if it understood what she said.

Chu Yunxi slowly reached out and touched its head. It did not resist and just wagged its tail.

Chaotic footsteps were heard, and before they reached Chu Yunxi, a slender figure flew over first. Before Chu Yunxi could even stand up, someone pulled her up and held her in his arms.

Chu Yunxi's brain crashed for a moment, and a familiar smell came into her nose. Her body relaxed, and a warm current flowed through her heart. She whispered, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

The feeling of regaining what he had lost made Xiao Mubei reluctant to let go of the person in his arms, but his remaining rationality told him that there were many people behind him and he had to let go. He reluctantly let go and then he saw that half of Chu Yunxi's face was so swollen that his eyes were almost invisible, and there was still blood at the corner of her lips.

Anger suddenly rushed to his head, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the person who kidnapped you?"

Chu Yunxi touched her face and smiled, "I have already avenged myself. He slapped me and I gave him an injection. I guess I won't be able to find him if I go back now. Let's go back first."

After all, there is still a master in the ruined temple. He can't let those people stay there. Since the place has been exposed, it must have become an abandoned stronghold at this moment.

Xiao Mubei gently touched Chu Yunxi's face and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. She really couldn’t feel the pain anymore. She was already numb. She would have to apply cold compresses when she got home.

Bai Yu, Hei Mu and Zi Han rushed over, and Bai Yu knelt down in front of Chu Yunxi, "Princess, I failed to do my job well, causing you to be frightened and injured. Please punish me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Xiao Mubei didn't say anything, just looked at Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi understood what he meant, that he wanted her to make the decision, so she cleared her throat and said, "Bai Yu, you didn't protect your master well, so you should be punished. But what should I punish you with?"

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll punish you by making you teach me how to practice martial arts in the future. I'll train my body to be strong so that I won't be helpless when I meet someone next time. How do you think?"

Bai Yu was stunned. "Practice... practice?"

Chu Yunxi glared at him, but at this moment, one eye was big and the other was small, which was not very intimidating. "Why, do you look down on me? After all, I have been specially...specially trained before, and my physical fitness is not that bad, right?"

I almost blurted out my previous identity, but fortunately I reacted in time.

"I dare not, Princess. If you want to practice, I will accompany you at any time."

That’s good enough, Chu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction. She had wanted to start training again for a long time, but she was too busy and had never found the time.

"Zi Han, go east from here. There is a dilapidated temple. There is a secret door behind the statue in the temple. There is a basement inside. I was locked up there after I was kidnapped. Send someone to check it out. I don't think there's anyone there."

Zi Han immediately took the Purple Guards there, and Xiao Mubei asked, "How did you escape?"

Chu Yunxi said: "It's a long story, go back first, I will tell you slowly."

It was already past midnight and the capital was quiet. Xiao Mubei ordered each team to be careful not to make too much noise when retreating so as not to disturb the people.

"If I can't find you again, I'll go to Prince Jingyuan's Palace to ask for you." After returning to the Dali Temple, Xiao Mubei drank a cup of cold tea and began to treat the swelling on Chu Yunxi's face. He applied medicine and asked Bai Yu to boil a hot egg, peeled it, and rolled it on the swollen side of her face. After doing all this, he spoke.

Chu Yunxi rolled the egg and asked curiously, "How do you know it was King Jingyuan who kidnapped me?"

"I'm not sure, but I know that if it wasn't Prince Jingyuan, the only person left would be the one who murdered my grandfather in the palace."

"That's right, it was Prince Jingyuan who did it," Chu Yunxi sighed and recounted what happened tonight. "Prince Jingyuan was unsure when he heard that the three courts would hold a joint trial to re-examine the case of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, so he kidnapped me. First, he wanted to find out what evidence we had against him, and second, he wanted to threaten you, hoping that you would be afraid to bring out the evidence. He didn't know anything about the emperor's affairs at all."

Xiao Mubei slammed the table, "Is Xiao Zirui crazy? He is totally lawless. Does he think he can keep the things he did a secret forever?"

"We can hide it for now, but it's too late now that he is afraid. Why didn't he think that this day would come when he was working with Wu Di? I just can't figure out who was the person who took me away and why did he let me go?" Chu Yunxi had been thinking about this question all the way.

Xiao Mubei didn't understand either. He said, "He seems to be a wise man. Maybe he thinks that Jingyuan Palace is doomed this time? So he left a way out for himself in advance?"

“Not like that,” Chu Yunxi shook her head. “If he thought so, he wouldn’t have kidnapped me. This incident happened after I went to the basement. Only that person knows the details of what happened.”

"Forget it. Regardless of what he thinks, he has done you such a big favor, so I'm afraid he will come looking for you anyway. By the way, do you have any ideas about the case of the emperor's grandfather?"

Chu Yunxi nodded. "I'm basically sure who did it, but I still can't figure out why she did it. Logically, she shouldn't take this risk, because once this matter is exposed, her status and everything she has managed will be ruined. It's not worth it."

"Do you think it's the queen?" Xiao Mubei looked into Chu Yunxi's eyes and asked slowly.

Chu Yunxi nodded, "So, you guessed it too."
