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

Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi and said, "You come up with a name."

Chu Yunxi pondered for a moment, "Just call me Qingyue, Yueyi Divine Pearl, you have suffered all these years, I wish you a life like a treasure, rich and prosperous."

Lu'e's eyes were wet with tears after hearing what Chu Yunxi said. She knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, "Qingyue, thank you, Princess, for giving me the name."

After solving Lu'e's problem, the rest of the matter was left to Xiao Mubei. Chu Yunxi returned to the palace, gave Yue Yanran an acupuncture, and went to bed early. She was really tired these days.

The next morning, Hongyu came to report, "Something big happened in the palace. I heard that the queen had an acute illness and passed away last night. Her maid was so grief-stricken that she hanged herself to accompany the queen. The prince has not eaten or drunk anything until now and cannot accept it. The twelfth prince has been crying and making a fuss. He was taken to Liuyun Palace by the imperial concubine. The emperor issued an edict, saying that the queen's last wish was to see the mountains and rivers after her death, so he wanted her body to be turned into ashes and scattered into the sea. The emperor sympathized with the queen and granted her the permission to follow her last wish. The body will be kept for three days and then cremated after three days."

Chu Yunxi was stunned. Does this mean that she will not be allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum? The queen committed such a serious mistake, and she must be sentenced to death. Unexpectedly, she could not even enter the imperial mausoleum. From now on, her soul can only wander in this world.

Announcing that she had an acute illness saved the royal family's reputation. This was the palace's usual practice; the queen would never be exposed for having poor morals.

But Chu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh. The human heart is never satisfied. Even if one has already sat on the throne, one still wants more. Step by step, he eventually ruined himself.

Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Zimo broke another jade bowl, and An Ruxin ordered the servants to clean it up. This was the tenth cup, bowl, or dish that Xiao Zimo had broken from yesterday to today. Since the secret guards brought the news the day before yesterday that Chengyan and Keren were captured by King Dingbei, one thing after another, no more good news came.

Chengyan and Keren were taken to the prison.

Xiao Zimo hurried to find his mother for help, but before he could come up with a solution, the emperor summoned his mother to go to the Heavenly Prison together.

Chengyan and Keren were escorted to the Dali Temple Prison.

Chengyan and Keren were sentenced to death by thousands of cuts.

The Queen Mother was sent back to Fengyi Palace by the Emperor's guards.

Fengyi Palace was surrounded and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The queen mother died of an acute illness, her personal maid hanged herself, and all the people in Fengyi Palace were imprisoned in Tianlao.

The emperor ordered cremation.

…………

As news came one after another, Xiao Zimo no longer knew what to feel. The truth had been exposed, that was beyond doubt. The Heavenly Prison was heavily guarded, and his people had not figured out what had happened inside, and his mother had not had time to send out any news either.

Now that his mother was dead, his father hadn't sent anyone to summon him. He didn't know if Cheng Yan had betrayed him. His mother couldn't protect herself, so how could she protect him? He wasn't sure. He had been living in fear for the past two days. Would he, the crown prince, be the next to die?

Xiao Mubei, he is indeed his nemesis. No wonder his cousin said that he is his biggest obstacle. Sure enough, his mother has been killed by him. If he can escape this time, he must get rid of him as soon as possible.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please accept it!"

The voice of a eunuch announcing an imperial decree was heard outside. Xiao Zimo shuddered and his face turned pale. He had only one thought in his mind: it's over.

Seeing that the prince was sitting still, An Ruxin pulled him up and said, "Your Highness, please accept the decree."

Xiao Zimo woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly stood up. He stood up too quickly and stumbled. An Ruxin hurriedly supported him, and they both walked out quickly and knelt in front of Eunuch Baochan.

Eunuch Baochan opened the imperial edict, "The Emperor decrees that the Empress was seriously ill and had passed away. I am deeply saddened. When the Empress was alive, she loved the Crown Prince the most. I order the Crown Prince to stay in the East Palace to mourn for the Empress for three years to show his filial piety. I decree this!"

The prince suddenly collapsed to the ground and observed a three-year mourning period, which meant he would be imprisoned in the Eastern Palace for three years.

Eunuch Baochan said, "Your Highness, please accept the order."

Xiao Zimo didn't react at all. Seeing how distraught he looked, An Ruxin hurriedly took over the order for him. Eunuch Baochan didn't say much and just turned around and left.

An Ruxin went forward to help the prince, but heard the prince gnashing his teeth and saying, "Xiao Mubei, you hurt me like this, I will never forgive you!"

An Ruxin shuddered when she saw the resentful look in Xiao Zimo's eyes. She had never seen a prince like this before!

She intuitively felt that this time Xiao Zimo and Xiao Mubei would fight to the death.

-

The Queen had just passed away, so the Dingbei Palace had to observe mourning. Chu Yunxi picked out a plain dress, simply tied her hair up, and went to Jingmao Street, the most prosperous street in the capital.

This time, she was not going to buy anything, she was coming to inspect the business she invested in.

Wen Rulan bought a three-story shop in the best location on Jingmao Street and is now busy renovating it. When Chu Yunxi went there, he was hanging a plaque on the eaves of the door. The three big characters "Ruyunlou" were very eye-catching.

"Hey, Senior Brother, are you the boss or a handyman? Why do you have to do this job yourself?"

Wen Rulan saw her coming and said happily: "Chu Chu, you came just in time. Can you help me check if this plaque is hung correctly?"

Chu Yunxi took two steps back, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's just right, it's OK."

Wen Rulan floated down upon hearing this, and then answered Chu Yunxi's question, "There is no other way. Funds are limited, so we have to save as much as possible. Who asked some people to pay in installments when they buy shares? We are not as generous as the prince."

Chu Yunxi touched her nose and said innocently, "How can I compare with the prince? He is a royal relative."

"He is a prince and you are a princess, how can you not be compared?" Wen Rulan patted the dust off her hands and went in with the paint bucket to paint the wall.

Chu Yunxi followed behind Wen Rulan, "He is the real prince, and I am the fake princess, what can we compare? Brother, you can't forget about your sister now that you have money."

"That's for sure. Am I that kind of person, your senior brother? Come on, stand a little further away."

Chu Yunxi took a few steps back and looked around. This three-story building was quite large. The furniture had not yet been put in place. There were three workers painting the walls. Together with Wen Rulan, there were a total of four people working.

"With so few people, how long do you plan to take to complete the renovation?"

"A week. The opening is in seven days. It's already been decided."

"Seven days?" Chu Yunxi's jaw dropped in shock. "Just the four of you?"

"Who said there are only four of us?" Wen Rulan said without turning her head, "Aren't the others back?"

Chu Yunxi turned her head in confusion, and saw Zi Han, dressed in purple, striding in. She asked, "Boss Wen, how should these furniture and green plants be arranged?"

"Zi Han?" Chu Yunxi looked at her in surprise. Zi Han smiled at her and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Chu Yunxi hurried to the door and saw two purple-robed guards carrying furniture, including tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, an eight-immortal table, an armchair, a counter, green plants, seasonal flowers...

The team had already lined up at the street corner. Chu Yunxi opened her mouth wide. Did Xiao Mubei send all the Purple Guards?
