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

Emperor Sui Ming sneered, "North Star, King Dingbei, Xiao Mubei, okay, Old Eight, how do you explain it?"

Xiao Mubei knelt down hurriedly, staring fearlessly at Emperor Sui Ming and said, "Father, this is the first time I've seen this thing, and I don't know what it is."

"You don't know?" Emperor Sui Ming snorted coldly, "You mean, in order to support you to be the emperor, others deliberately set up all these for you, and even stole hearts everywhere, but didn't even tell the real owner? Ha, how come I have never met such a loyal servant?"

Xiao Mubei forced himself to calm down and said, "But father rarely leaves the palace. The other party set up such a covert plan, but someone still led father here. If it was done by me, how dare I bring father in? I must have tried every means to prevent father from coming. Didn't father suspect that someone was framing me?"

Emperor Sui Ming remained silent. He went to Sun Mansion because of Yuan Rubai's words, but Yuan Rubai was the director of the Imperial Observatory. Since ancient times, the Imperial Observatory was only loyal to the emperor. If there was a problem with the Imperial Observatory, who could he trust in the future?

On one side was his son, and on the other was the Imperial Observatory. Emperor Sui Ming felt exhausted. No matter who he was, there was always someone who hoped he would die for this position.

"You should not go to the Dali Temple for duty recently. Stay in the Dingbei Palace for now. I will send someone to investigate this matter."

Emperor Sui Ming was about to leave when Chu Yunxi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stopped him and knelt down, "Father, your daughter-in-law wants to ask for a favor."

Emperor Sui Ming frowned. He didn't want to pay any attention to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi at the moment, but if he just walked away, it would be beneath his dignity. He could only hold back his displeasure and said, "You didn't do anything meritorious this time. What are you going to use to ask for a favor?"

The last time Chu Yunxi cured the retired emperor and forced him to re-examine the case of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and issue an edict of repentance, he didn't like her aggressive personality.

Chu Yunxi also knew that Emperor Sui Ming didn't like her, and only listened to her out of face. She was not afraid, and raised her head and said, "Father, I want to investigate this case myself. I will find out everything and give you and everyone a satisfactory answer. If I can't find out, I am willing to share the crime with you, but if I find out the truth..."

Emperor Sui Ming felt that she was about to ask for too much again, so he frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

Chu Yunxi smiled slightly and bowed her head. "If I find out that the prince did it, I will have nothing to say. I can only be convicted with him. I will obey your father if you want to kill me or cut me up. But if it is not the prince, and I am lucky enough to survive, I am willing to go to the palace to help your majesty recuperate and prolong his life to thank you for your kindness today. You should be familiar with my medical skills, right?"

Emperor Sui Ming did not expect Chu Yunxi to say this. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "Alright, I will send the Minister of Justice to assist you and quickly find out the truth. I will give you a month. If you still haven't found out within a month, I will also put you under house arrest, hand the matter over to others, and return to the palace."

"Thank you, Father. I send you off respectfully."

After Emperor Sui Ming left, Chu Yunxi straightened up, helped Xiao Mubei up, and said, "Your Highness, we have been tricked by others."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "It's just that you will have to work hard again."

Chu Yunxi curled her lips, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about this between us. You and I are one. Helping you is helping myself. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely find out about this matter and clear your name."

Xiao Mubei pinched Chu Yunxi's nose and said with a smile: "I have never been worried. As soon as you opened your mouth, I knew you had an idea in your mind."

Chu Yunxi also smiled, "Does the prince have so much confidence in me?"

The two of them walked out together, talking and laughing, which confused the guards who were left to guard Xiao Mubei. How could the King of Dingbei and his wife look like they were in big trouble?

After coming out of the dungeon, the two brothers of the Sun family had already been convicted. No matter who the culprit was, the Sun family could not escape the crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family. The two brothers looked ashen and collapsed to the ground, turning into a puddle of mud.

Eunuch Baochan hadn't left yet. When he saw Chu Yunxi coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Princess, His Majesty ordered me to escort the prince back to the palace. The people from the Sun family will be put in the Dali Temple Prison first. Princess, you can question them at any time. The Minister of Justice will be here later. Please wait for a moment before starting the investigation."

Chu Yunxi naturally understood that although Emperor Sui Ming agreed to let her investigate the case, she had to be accompanied by the Minister of Justice, one to monitor her, and the other to serve as a spy. The Minister of Justice must have received an imperial decree to report the progress of the case from time to time.

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

Xiao Mubei was taken away by the Imperial Guards and Eunuch Baochan. Chu Yunxi sat down next to a big tree and began to review what happened today.

She and Wen Rulan saw with their own eyes that the sign inside was Xiao Zimo's name, and then they came out. At that time, only Yunniang was outside. Then they sneaked out and sneaked back in, which took no more than two quarters of an hour. The other party changed the sign within these two quarters of an hour.

It can be seen that the opponent calculated everything very accurately, calculating that Emperor Sui Ming would come, calculating that they would lead Emperor Sui Ming to the dark room in the dungeon, and calculating that the guards would find that room. The Sun brothers might not know that the sign had been replaced, and maybe there was still a last glimmer of hope that the prince could save them, but they didn't know that they were just part of the plan.

It took two quarters of an hour. The sign was so big and there were people in the mansion all the time. I was afraid that the sign was still in the Sun Mansion. After I left, Yunniang would still be here. Maybe she would see someone?

But at this moment, the Imperial Guards were taking all the people from the Sun Mansion out and preparing to take them to the Dali Temple Prison. Sun Shaozhen's body...

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi stood up and said to the guards: "Brother, the third young lady in the mansion has a congenital heart disease. The disease is very serious. If she is thrown into prison, I am afraid she will not survive a day. Brother, can you allow me to go see her first?"

The guards did not dare to offend Chu Yunxi, and just said: "Princess is so kind-hearted. The people in the Sun Mansion are all going to die anyway, so what difference does it make if they die early or late?"

"That's different. His Majesty hasn't issued a death sentence yet, and everyone in the Sun Mansion could be a key witness. If His Majesty's important affairs are delayed because of an insignificant concubine's daughter, neither you nor I can bear the consequences, right?"

The guard thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, so he said, "Well, I'll call my two brothers to go with the princess to take a look."

Chu Yunxi smiled slightly, "Thank you, big brother." After saying that, she glanced up intentionally or unintentionally.

The guard did not notice her gaze. He pointed to two people and followed Chu Yunxi to the courtyard where Yunniang and her son lived.

The courtyard was remote, and the guards who were ordered to count the number of people had not arrived yet. The light in the house was dim, and it was already midnight, and the mother and son were talking, dressed neatly.
