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

The Crown Princess's name was An Ruxin. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "That's right. Come in and sit down."

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi followed in and sat down as host and guest. The maid brought tea and Xiao Zimo said, "Eighth brother, sister-in-law, please try it. This is Biluochun, a gift from the emperor. It is a tribute from Suzhou and is very hard to get on weekdays."

Xiao Mubei picked up the teacup and opened the lid, and a refreshing fragrance filled his nose. "It's really good tea."

Chu Yunxi knew that even if Xiao Zimo wanted to kill Xiao Mubei, he would never choose to start in the East Palace, so she also picked up the teacup and took a sip.

An Ruxin and Chu Yunxi were sitting together chatting. An Ruxin said to Chu Yunxi, "Sister-in-law, I heard from your eldest brother that he met you at Baoguang Temple yesterday. Has the tomb of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery been moved?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "I was busy until midnight yesterday before returning to Beijing. My parents died unjustly, but fortunately they have finally been vindicated."

An Ruxin sighed, "Sister-in-law, don't blame father. He was deceived after all. Now that the edict of repentance has been issued, you can let it go."

Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, "I understand, sister-in-law."

"Then... Marquis Zhongyong and the two major generals..." An Ruxin hesitated to speak.

Chu Yunxi lowered her head. "We don't know where they are buried now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them."

An Ruxin sighed again, patted Chu Yunxi's shoulder, and changed the topic.

Xiao Zimo and Xiao Mubei were also chatting. Xiao Zimo said, "Eighth brother hasn't stayed in the palace for a long time. Why did you stay here today?"

Xiao Mubei took a sip of tea and made a helpless expression. "My father handed the case of the female corpse in the palace to me. In the past two days, the Dali Temple found a master who did skull restoration to restore the appearance of the corpse. Big brother, do you know who this female corpse is?"

"who is it?"

Xiao Zimo asked casually. Xiao Mubei looked reluctant and said after a while, "It turned out to be my mother's former personal maid, Lu'e."

"Oh?" Xiao Zimo naturally knew Lu'e, but he was not familiar with her. After all, he only had to deal with Concubine Xian and Xiao Mubei, and he didn't take maids seriously.

Xiao Mubei sighed, "Lu'e has brought me up since I was a child. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I still have some feelings for her. I never thought that she has been dead for so many years. No wonder she is shown as missing in the roster."

He paused, seeing that Xiao Zimo was not paying attention, and then continued: "So today, Yunxi and I came to look for the list of palace maids again, hoping to find someone who was in Fanghua Palace back then, to ask if there were any clues. This time, we actually found someone. It was a little late at that time, so we went to see a maid who used to sweep the floor in Fanghua Palace, named Keren."

As soon as Keren's name came out, Xiao Mubei saw that Xiao Zimo's hand holding the tea paused, and his expression was nervous for a moment, but it was fleeting. When he finished drinking the tea and looked up again, he looked relaxed.

"She's just a maid cleaning the house. What can she know?"

What a great acting, Xiao Mubei agreed, "That's right, big brother guessed it right, this Keren really doesn't know anything, she talked about some things about Lu'e, all about how to command them to do things on weekdays, etc., which is useless, and it also delayed us from leaving the palace."

Xiao Mubei looked annoyed, but his eyes never left Xiao Zimo. He saw him breathe a sigh of relief and drink a sip of tea without leaving any trace.

After chatting for about half an hour, Xiao Mubei stood up to say goodbye. Xiao Zimo wanted to let them stay overnight, but the two refused and only said that they had sent someone to inform the emperor and that they would return to Yongshou Palace in the evening.

Donggong, it’s better for them to stay away.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess escorted the people out. Before leaving, Xiao Mubei suddenly asked, "Brother, have you ever heard of Gu Shu?"

Xiao Zimo's face changed drastically. An Ruxin hurriedly helped him up. Xiao Zimo calmed down and said calmly, "Why do you ask this, Eighth Brother?"

Xiao Mubei didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Xiao Zimo. He smiled and said, "There was a case in the Dali Temple recently. The victim died of poisoning. Li Shaoqing had never heard of this technique. He was very worried and came to me. I didn't understand it either. I happened to meet you today. I thought there should be more strange people in your palace, so I asked you casually."

Xiao Zimo had calmed down and said with a smile, "This kind of evil technique is strictly forbidden in the palace. How could I know about it? Eighth brother, you are joking."

Xiao Mubei sighed in disappointment, "Then I can only ask Li Shaoqing to go to the martial arts world to ask for advice. I have tried my best. Brother, I will not disturb you and sister-in-law anymore. Goodbye."

"Walk slowly."

Xiao Zimo watched Xiao Mubei and the other man walk away with a smile on his face, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

An Ruxin asked curiously, "Is there really such a thing as witchcraft in this world?"

Xiao Zimo said calmly: "The Jianghu is so vast that there are all kinds of things. What's so strange about this?"

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for An Ruxin. An Ruxin felt that the prince seemed unhappy, but she didn't understand how she had offended him.

Xiao Zimo did not return to the bedroom, but went directly to the study. As soon as he sat down, a secret guard appeared in front of him.

"Go ask Keren what Xiao Mubei asked her today and whether she has revealed her true colors."

"Yes."

After the secret guard left, Xiao Zimo sat there for a long while, his eyes gradually becoming fierce. He flicked the wick of the lamp, but did not call anyone. He ground the ink himself, wrote a letter and put it in a bamboo tube. After sealing it, he waved and called another secret guard over, whispering, "Send it to the Imperial Observatory."

The secret guard took the order and left. Xiao Zimo stood up, blew out the lights, and returned to the Crown Princess's room.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi returned to Yongshou Palace. The emperor had already rested and was waiting for them with the eunuch. As soon as he saw them, he said, "Eighth Prince, Princess, the side hall has been cleaned up. I will take you there."

"it is good."

Chu Yunxi was still thinking about what had just happened. She understood that Xiao Mubei deliberately mentioned Keren and asked about witchcraft in order to make the prince lose his composure. Once he panicked, he would naturally reveal his true colors.

Then they have to be more careful recently. The prince's target has been Xiao Mubei since nine years ago. The reason why he didn't take action in these years is because Xiao Mubei has moved away from the capital and went to southern Xinjiang. He felt that Xiao Mubei could no longer threaten him, so he slowed down.

But three months ago, Prince Jingyuan sent people to southern Xinjiang to hunt down Xiao Mubei. It is still unclear why. There is no guarantee that the crown prince did something about it. Prince Jingyuan has a lot of ambition but no brains. Although he has a strategist by his side, he is useless. He is probably being used as a gun by the crown prince without even knowing it.

She thought about it all the way until she entered the side hall, said goodbye to the public and left, then she realized, how come there was only one room prepared? And only one bed?

"Oh no..."

Chu Yunxi subconsciously wanted to call her father-in-law, but was stopped by Xiao Mubei. He looked at her innocently, glanced at the roof, and whispered in her ear: "Do you want the emperor to know that we are a fake couple?"
