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

When Chu Yunxi walked in, both of them were surprised. It seemed that they already knew what happened in the mansion and were waiting for the imperial guards to arrive.

Seeing that it was Chu Yunxi, Yunniang stood up first, tears streaming down her face before she spoke, "Princess, it's so late, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see Zhen'er." Chu Yunxi said as she walked over. Sun Shaozhen was in good spirits at the moment, probably because she had taken the medicine. She sat on the bed and said timidly, "Sister."

Chu Yunxi saw that she was like a frightened bird, and felt a little bit sorry for her. This child had a hard life. She had been fighting against illness all her life. Now she met herself and just saw a little hope, but such a big thing happened in her family and she had to be executed with her family. In this short life, there was not a moment that was not spent in fear of death.

"Lie down, I'll check you again." Chu Yunxi helped Sun Shaozhen lie down, stretched out her hand to untie her clothes, paused, looked up and said to the two guards: "Please wait outside, this is a girl after all, it's not convenient."

The two guards looked at each other, hesitated, and then went out.

Chu Yunxi took out a stethoscope and listened to Sun Shaozhen's heart, then took it off and said, "There's nothing wrong at the moment. You must take your medicine on time. Even if you go to jail, you must take it on time. Only if you save your life can you have a chance of recovery. Do you understand?"

Sun Shaozhen nodded, not quite understanding. Chu Yunxi glanced outside, motioned Yunniang to sit down next to her, and asked in a low voice, "Yunniang, just now over there, after I left, did you see anyone go over there?"

Yunniang's eyes showed confusion. She shook her head and whispered, "After the princess left, I was worried about Zhen'er, so I hurried back. I didn't see anyone go there."

"Did you meet anyone on your way back?"

Yunniang thought about it carefully again and shook her head, "No, I was very nervous and walked very carefully. Fortunately, I didn't run into anyone."

Chu Yunxi was a little disappointed, but then she thought, Yunniang had no martial arts skills, so if a secret guard with martial arts skills went there, she wouldn't know.

Yunniang said worriedly, "Princess, what happened? Why...that person came? Why were all the people in the Sun family imprisoned? Did something serious happen to the Sun family?"

Chu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, and thought it would be better not to tell them so much, so as not to put too much psychological burden on them, so she said: "Something happened, I am investigating it under the order of the emperor, you just stay in prison, I will ask the jailer to take good care of Zhen'er."

Yunniang's tears flowed again, "Thank you, Princess. Actually, I'm fine. It's just that Zhen'er's life is too hard. Alas!"

Chu Yunxi patted her shoulder, sighed, and said, "It's all fate. Take good care of Zhen'er. I'm leaving first."

"Thank you, Princess, for coming to see us mother and daughter."

Chu Yunxi waved her hand, walked out of the room, and called two guards to leave.

Yunniang was still standing there blankly with a complicated expression, and no one knew what she was thinking. It was not until Sun Shaozhen called her that she woke up from her dream.

When Chu Yunxi returned to the outside of the dungeon, the Minister of Justice had already arrived, and Hei Mu was also waiting there. When he saw Chu Yunxi, Hei Mu stepped forward and saluted, "Princess!"

Chu Yunxi nodded and said to the guards: "This is my guard. He has been following me to investigate the case."

The Royal Guards thought that His Majesty did not say that the princess was not allowed to bring anyone with her when investigating a case, and it would be inappropriate for the princess to be without anyone around her, so they acquiesced.

The Minister of Justice was named Zhang Chenmu, about fifty years old, with a beard, tall stature, and facial features that vaguely showed the handsomeness he had in his youth. Standing there at this moment, his temperament was still more outstanding than that of ordinary people.

He came to Chu Yunxi and bowed, "Meet the princess."

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Master Zhang, please don't be polite. I feel really bad for letting you come here so late."

"You are too polite, Princess. Where would you like to start?"

"Naturally, we'll start from the dark room. Come on, Master Zhang, let's go in together."

Chu Yunxi was the first to climb up the tree. The imperial edict Zhang Chenmu received was to assist Chu Yunxi. She would take the lead and he would just assist from the side. So he followed Chu Yunxi up the tree.

In addition to Chu Yunxi and Zhang Chenmu, Hei Mu and two other guards also came with them. Hei Mu whispered in Chu Yunxi's ear: "Master Wen has gone to look for the sign."

Chu Yunxi nodded slightly. When she was sitting under the tree just now, she deliberately took a branch and drew on the ground. It seemed that her drawings were random, but in fact they were the code words of the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau. Now that Wen Rulan knew what had happened, she naturally knew which direction to investigate.

Two guards entered the dark room holding torches. Chu Yunxi told them to be careful because the curtains were very easy to catch fire.

Under the illumination of the torches, the dark room finally became bright. Chu Yunxi looked carefully from the moment she entered the room. There were too many people coming here tonight, and the footprints on the ground were so complicated that it was no longer worth investigating.

Chu Yunxi looked at the boxes containing hearts carefully, one by one, and found that there were nearly a thousand hearts here. It seemed that all this started this month. Was this conspiracy designed to target Xiao Mubei from the beginning, or was it some formation that Xiao Zimo set up for himself in the beginning, and then changed it to target Xiao Mubei?

Chu Yunxi finally looked at the sign in the middle. It looked exactly the same as the one she had seen before. She asked the guards to approach with torches and take a closer look. Suddenly, she called Zhang Chenmu, "Master Zhang, come and take a look."

Zhang Chenmu came over, and Chu Yunxi pointed at the edge of the sign and said, "Master Zhang, please look, is there a layer of dust here?"

Zhang Chenmu reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there was a layer of loose dust on the sign, which could not be seen unless you looked carefully.

Chu Yunxi said, "This sign is embedded in the wall, but the edge shows signs of having been moved recently. And Sir Zhang, look, is the sign crooked?"

Zhang Chenmu looked up and saw that the sign was not an ordinary sign. It was one meter tall and embedded in the wall. Although it was made of sandalwood, it was not very heavy. If it was not placed properly, it would easily not fit tightly with the slot on the wall.

At this moment, a gap about the size of a finger appeared at the top. It was not visible from a distance, but it was visible if you looked closely.

"What do you think, Princess?"

Chu Yunxi also touched the loose soil on the sign and said, "This is soil, not dust that has been there for a long time. I suspect that this sign was buried somewhere before and was recently dug out and placed here, or even just today. There must be another sign of the same kind around here!"

Zhang Chenmu's face changed, "Princess, are you suspicious? Is this a frame-up?"
