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

But Chu Yunxi spread her hands indifferently, "I have no opinion. I will leave in two years anyway. It doesn't matter if you are the main wife or concubine. Just stop chasing me."

Xiao Mubei was originally thinking about how to convince her if she was unwilling, but he didn't expect that she would agree so easily. Instead, he had prepared a lot of excuses but had nowhere to release them. At the same time, Chu Yunxi agreed too quickly, which meant that she didn't care about the position of princess at all. This realization made him a little unhappy.

My position as Princess Dingbei is something that many noble ladies desire but cannot even get, okay?

Moreover, in order to protect her today, he swore a solemn oath in front of the emperor, guaranteeing that Chu Yunxi had no rebellious intentions, and if it were not for Chu Yunxi this time, he would have died long ago, how could he appear in front of the emperor alive, saying that he and Chu Yunxi had already secretly decided to spend their lives together and were in love with each other, and that although her father had made a mistake, his wife and daughter were not guilty, and the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had also been executed, leaving only an orphan, who was not to be feared. He talked until his mouth was dry, and Emperor Sui Ming finally agreed to let him take her as a concubine. He didn't expect that the emperor didn't care about the main wife or the concubine at all?

However, he did not show his displeasure, and just continued: "Okay, in that case, follow me to the Dali Temple to take up the post tomorrow."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi agreed without thinking, and then realized, "What do you mean by taking office?"

"Wu Zuo."

"What?" Chu Yunxi thought she had heard it wrong. "Am I not a concubine? How come I became a coroner in the Dali Temple?"

"The former Chief Justice of the Dali Temple has just retired and returned to his hometown. I happened to return and will not go to the border for a while, so you are appointed as the new Chief Justice of the Dali Temple today and will take up the post tomorrow. You will go with me to the Dali Temple to take up the post. The monthly salary of ten taels of silver is not for you to be just a concubine." Xiao Mubei said as a matter of course.

But he didn't tell her that he had specifically asked Emperor Sui Ming for the position of Dali Temple Chief Justice, otherwise, how could he, the eighth prince, condescend to work in the Dali Temple.

If you want to investigate a case, the Dali Temple is the most convenient place.

Chu Yunxi was dumbfounded, "Is this also what the emperor meant?"

"It's just a coroner's job. It's not enough to alarm the emperor. I'm the one who made this decision." Xiao Mubei looked at her, "However, in the Dali Temple, you can temporarily conceal the identity of Princess Dingbei to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After all, he left Beijing when he was young and has just returned to the capital. He is not very clear about the complicated personnel relationships in the capital, so he has to keep a low profile on some things.

It is better to keep Chu Yunxi's identity secret for the time being, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

"From now on, we will call you Miss Yunxi to everyone. It will also be convenient for us to investigate your father and brother's cases in the Dali Temple."

Chu Yunxi's expression turned serious when she heard that. That's right, if they wanted to clear the name of Marquis Zhongyong and restore the innocence of Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, going to the Dali Temple was indeed the best choice.

"Okay, I promise you." Although it is indeed a bit strange for a princess to be a coroner, as long as the unjust case of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery can be solved, it doesn't matter.

After all, this is her first job here. Ten taels of silver a month is higher than Bai Yu Zi Han's salary. Chu Yunxi thought happily that she is a skilled worker and if she does well, there should be room for advancement. That's great.

What's more, a coroner is a forensic doctor. She is familiar with her job and it is not difficult.

Having unloaded the heavy burden of being a criminal, Chu Yunxi slept exceptionally well that night and finally did not have any more nightmares.

The next morning, Chu Yunxi got up early for the first time. Xiao Mubei asked someone to bring her a few sets of clothes. They were all made of soft fabrics and in light colors, which were exactly what she liked.

After packing up and going out, Chu Yunxi was surprised to see Xiao Mubei still sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Bai Yu, with Hei Mu beside him. She hurried forward, squatted down and turned the hem of Xiao Mubei's clothes, "Why is your leg not healed yet?"

Xiao Mubei held her hand, which was slightly cold. Chu Yunxi looked up in confusion and saw him shaking his head slowly. Bai Yu said, "Miss Yunxi, your leg is healed, but in order to avoid suspicion from the person behind the scenes, you cannot stand up for the time being."

Chu Yunxi suddenly realized and understood, paralyze the enemy.

However, Xiao Mubei was very pleased to see Chu Yunxi was so nervous about him, "Yunxi, don't question your own medical skills."

Chu Yunxi was speechless. I don't question my own goodness. I just care about my boss and consider my monthly salary.

The Dingbei Palace was some distance away from the Dali Temple, so they took a carriage there. Chu Yunxi was still wondering how Xiao Mubei would get on the carriage when she saw him pat his hands lightly on the wheelchair, and his body flew up lightly, entering the carriage without even touching the ground.

Chu Yunxi felt that in ancient times, Newton's theory of gravity was questioned. How did these people manage to fly without any tools?

Although she can fly, she must use the Flying Tiger Claw.

Chu Yunxi naturally rode in the same carriage as Xiao Mubei, with Baiyu and Heimu driving. Xiao Mubei's wheelchair was actually foldable and was placed at the back of the carriage.

Along the way, Chu Yunxi asked Xiao Mubei about the responsibilities and structure of the Dali Temple. She knew that the Dali Temple was mainly responsible for criminal cases. Under Xiao Mubei's position as the Dali Temple Chief, there were also positions such as the Dali Temple Junior Chief, the Temple Secretary, the Temple Chief, and the Chief Clerk.

The current Shaoqing of Dali Temple is named Li Jinghong. He is a genuine poor student who passed the imperial examination and won the third place in the imperial examination. Later, he worked his way up to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is an upright person who hates evil.

The temple secretary Yao Weiyu and the temple director Lei Haokun are both around fifty years old. They have worked in the Dali Temple for half of their lives. They have neither done any merits nor made any mistakes, but they are conscientious and hardworking.

Chu Yunxi had a headache remembering all these names, and gave up after remembering three. "Your Highness, I'm just a coroner. I'll leave the greetings and other matters related to the living to you. I'll just deal with the dead."

Xiao Mubei shook his head and sighed. He couldn't lead this subordinate.

"Someone's dead." A shrill voice pierced the sky, and a man ran recklessly into the middle of the street, heading straight for the carriage. Bai Yu hurriedly braked and pulled the horse upright. Chu Yunxi in the carriage tilted to the side due to inertia and almost fell, but was pulled back by Xiao Mubei's quick eyes and hands.

"What happened?" Xiao Mubei asked with a frown.

Hei Mu said: "Your Highness, it seems that someone is dead. I will go and ask."

Chu Yunxi was stunned. How could he come to work so soon? He hadn't even taken office yet.

Hei Mu jumped out of the car, stopped the panicked man, and asked, "Where is the dead?"

The man was a young man who seemed to be from a wealthy family, but at this moment he looked terrified and pointed behind him, "That...that widow Liu in the alley was...killed."

"Take us to have a look." Xiao Mubei's voice came from the carriage.
