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

Sun Shiche hugged his head tightly, closed his eyes, and looked painful. Chu Yunxi did not rush him, but waited for him to recover.

Zhang Chenmu had been listening and finally felt that something was wrong. Just like Chu Yunxi said, there were too many coincidences and there must be a problem. He couldn't help but admire Chu Yunxi. He didn't expect that the Princess Dingbei was so meticulous and her trial was so logical. No clues could escape her eyes.

Chu Yunxi didn’t know what Zhang Chenmu was thinking. She was still thinking that the person behind the scenes was extremely powerful. He never showed up from beginning to end, but he created such a big case. The Sun family suffered a loss, but they still didn’t know who was plotting against them. The prince, the King of Dingbei, and the Imperial Observatory were all involved. No one knew to what extent this matter would develop in the end, but at the moment, it would definitely not be small.

Sun Shiche thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what the problem was. Chu Yunxi guided him again, "Which monk told Yunniang that Sun Shaozhen must be protected by the aura of the Son of Heaven to survive?"

"It was... the abbot of Puji Temple, Master Zhihan. He is highly respected. I verified it afterwards and he did say that."

Chu Yunxi wrote it down and asked, "Did you really decide to go and listen to storytelling on a whim?"

"Yes, I just walked over there and heard the hustle and bustle inside, so I walked in. I definitely didn't have such an idea beforehand."

Chu Yunxi noted this doubt and asked, "Where did you imprison the master?"

"It's in the south of the city, at No. 33 Guijin Lane. That's the Sun family's villa. Master Yan has been there for the past two months and has never left."

Chu Yunxi wrote it all down and said, "Sun Shiche, we will verify everything you said. Just go back and stay. If there is any progress in the case, I will send someone to inform you."

"In that case, thank you very much, Princess."

Sun Shiche also left. Chu Yunxi stood up, stretched, and moved her almost stiff neck. Today's interrogation lasted for almost ten hours, and a day and a night had passed.

"Master Zhang, send someone to check on Master Zhihan of Puji Temple and the teahouse where Sun Shiche listened to storytelling. No, check all the restaurants and teahouses along the street that have storytelling, as well as No. 33 Guijin Lane. Bring that master back for questioning."

Zhang Chenmu agreed. Chu Yunxi had just taken a few steps when she suddenly thought of something and turned back to say, "Also, the imperial physician who treated Sun Shaozhen when the prince was in Sun's mansion must be found and interrogated."

Zhang Chenmu admired Chu Yunxi very much, she was so thoughtful.

Chu Yunxi returned to Dingbei Palace. Chu Zhongxi was playing chess with Xiao Mubei in the palace. Seeing Chu Yunxi coming back, Xiao Mubei hurriedly stood up, handed her the hand warmer beside him, and ordered Hongyu to serve the meal immediately.

Chu Zhongxi was originally worried about Chu Yunxi, so he came to see her early in the morning. Unexpectedly, she had just returned from a busy night outside. He wanted to show some concern, but found that it was not his turn.

I could only wait until Xiao Mubei had finished making arrangements before I could ask, "Little sister, are you okay?"

Chu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "It's not that bad, it's mainly because I'm too tired from staying up late, now I just want to sleep."

Xiao Mubei felt distressed, "How can he not be tired with his days and nights turned upside down? Doesn't Zhang Chenmu know how to sympathize with him? The king will report him to the emperor soon."

"That's not necessary," Chu Yunxi laughed. "Lord Zhang is even more tired than me. He is still busy and can't sleep. I am also anxious and want to solve the case quickly."

Chu Zhongxi saw that Chu Yunxi did have serious dark circles under her eyes, and he felt distressed. "Then you should eat something and go to bed quickly. No matter how important the case is, you have to take care of your body."

"OK."

As they were talking, Hongyu had already brought the food. Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi accompanied Chu Yunxi to eat something. Chu Yunxi told them about the progress of the case and then asked for their opinions.

Chu Zhongxi said: "It all sounds like someone planned it out. This person led Sun Shiche into the game step by step. He also seems to have been monitoring the Sun family's movements and knows everything about the Sun family, so he was able to successfully plan it at the last minute."

"Wait a minute," Chu Yunxi suddenly stopped, frowning and thinking, "Second brother, you just said that this person seems to have been monitoring the Sun family?"

Chu Zhongxi nodded, "Yes, think about it, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Chu Yunxi remained silent, her mind was spinning rapidly. Chu Zhongxi had given her an idea, but there were still some details she couldn't figure out.

"Yunxi, eat something and take a nap first, you are too tired."

Xiao Mubei put a lot of food on the plate in front of her, but Chu Yunxi's face became worse and worse. Finally, she pushed the plate away and said, "I want to rest for a while."

After saying that, she went back to her room. Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with her.

Chu Yunxi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When she came back, she felt that she could fall asleep in a second as soon as she lay down. But now, although her body was very tired, her mind was very active. Many things kept going through her mind, making her lose all desire to sleep.

After barely sleeping for two hours, she couldn't fall asleep anymore. She got up, ate something simple, and went to the Dali Temple again, leaving Xiao Mubei with a worried look on his face.

Zhang Chenmu had been staying in the Dali Temple and had not returned. After arranging people to investigate, he sat on the armchair and dozed off. While sleeping, he staggered and almost fell off the armchair. When he raised his head, he saw Chu Yunxi walking towards him.

"Master Zhang, you have worked hard. Why don't you go to the inner room and rest?"

Zhang Chenmu rubbed his sore neck and said with a smile: "The people sent to investigate should be back soon. I thought I would wait here, but I accidentally fell asleep."

"You stayed up all night last night, Master Zhang, you should also take care of your health."

The two men exchanged some pleasantries, and the people who were sent out to gather information came back one after another.

"My lord, No. 33 Guijin Lane is now empty. There are four bodies of guards in the house. The so-called master is nowhere to be found. His body has been brought back and placed in the morgue."

Chu Yunxi and Zhang Chenmu's faces changed at the same time, "Killed someone and ran away?"

The constable replied: "At present, it seems that it should be."

As he was speaking, someone else came back and said, "Princess, Master Zhang, Master Zhihan of Puji Temple has passed away."

"what?"

Zhang Chenmu stood up, shocked, "When did it happen?"

"About a month ago, according to the monks of Puji Temple, Master Zhihan had arranged all matters in the temple and said he would go into seclusion for half a month to meditate on Buddha. But when everyone opened the meditation room half a month later, they found that the master had passed away. He had not eaten a single bite of the food that was sent to him, nor had he drunk a single drop of water. He had starved himself to death."

Zhang Chenmu sat down and looked at Chu Yunxi, "Why is this happening?"
