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

Chu Yunxi took the dagger, pulled a hair from her head and put it on the dagger. As soon as the hair fell on the dagger, Chu Yunxi blew a breath and the hair broke into two pieces.

"It is indeed a divine weapon that can cut hair with a dagger. Your Majesty, this dagger is so sharp. How about I write a poem on it? When the ants crawl up, they can form words, which is also a great spectacle. Or, how about I draw a picture?"

Xiao Mubei said: "As the princess is happy."

The two of them sang in unison, as if they were discussing what to eat today, but what they said made the man shudder. Just imagining those scenes, he felt itchy all over.

Chu Yunxi walked over with a dagger in her hand. The man clenched his teeth and watched Chu Yunxi wave the dagger twice in front of him. A cold breath hit him in the face, and he had already lost a lot of blood, so his face was as pale as paper.

Chu Yunxi asked, "Where do I start?"

The dagger moved downwards and stopped in front of the chest. Chu Yunxi stared at the person in front of her with a playful smile on her lips, "Here?"

The man's body tensed up, and Chu Yunxi moved the dagger down again, stopping at his stomach, and asked, "Here?"

The man's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, and his body became even tenser.

Chu Yunxi still didn't make a move. Like a cat playing with a mouse, she continued to move the dagger downwards, stopping at a vital part. She gestured twice, still looking at the man, and smiled, "Is it here?"

The man finally couldn't help it and said in a hoarse voice: "Kill me."

"Killing you is easy, but do you think I will let you die that easily?" Chu Yunxi's voice turned cold. "If you cooperate obediently, I will let you suffer less, but if you don't cooperate, don't blame me."

Chu Yunxi said as she raised the dagger and stabbed it fiercely.

Although she was not very strong, she could see that she had used up all her strength in this stabbing. If she had hit the man, he would probably have to become a eunuch from then on.

"Wait, let me tell you." The man shouted, cold sweat dripping down his face, and closed his eyes tightly.

The dagger stopped just two fingers away from the clothes. Chu Yunxi curled her lips and smiled, saying, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I wouldn't waste so much time talking. Tell me, what's your name?"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Qin Long."

"Very good, Qin Long, who are you?"

"I am the prince's man. I am usually in charge of matters outside the palace. If the prince needs me to do anything, he will send a secret guard to notify me and I will act outside the palace. This way, if anything goes wrong, it won't be traced back to him."

Chu Yunxi frowned, said nothing, and continued to ask: "Then tell me what you did."

Qin Long thought for a moment and said, "I trained Yunniang as my hidden agent and asked her to help the prince win over Sun Shiche. After Sun Shiche completely joined the prince's faction, I planned the formation of "Ten Thousand Hearts Returning to One" to lure Sun Shiche into the game."

"No, if we have finally managed to win over Sun Shiche, why should we destroy the Sun family? With the identity of the Minister of Revenue, he can do a lot of things for the prince." Chu Yunxi questioned.

"But someone has to sacrifice for this. It's not easy to win over the Minister of Revenue, but if this matter cannot be done in the home of such a high-ranking official, it will be more likely to be exposed. We should choose the lesser of two evils. At worst, we can wait for the crown prince to take the throne and then support a Minister of Revenue."

It sounds like there is no problem. Chu Yunxi said: "What is the real purpose of the Ten Thousand Hearts Returning to One Array? Is the Crown Prince really impatient to take the throne, or is he just trying to frame King Dingbei?"

Qin Long said, "At first, it was really for the crown prince to ascend to the throne, but I didn't expect that something went wrong with the Sun family, and you were able to investigate. It just so happened that because of the queen's matter, the crown prince wanted to kill the Dingbei king as soon as possible, so he changed his mind temporarily and framed the Dingbei king."

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, who was also thinking. Seeing Chu Yunxi looking at him, he nodded, proving that he did not find any loopholes in these confessions.

Chu Yunxi asked: "Where is that Feng Shui master?"

"He is the prince's secret guard and has returned to the East Palace."

"What's his name?"

Qin Long hesitated for a moment, "I don't know, secret guards usually don't have names."

Chu Yunxi was silent for a while, and asked Bai Yu to take Qin Long away and lock him up first, and then said to Xiao Mubei: "Your Highness, can you draw a portrait of the Feng Shui master based on Sun Shiche's description?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Okay."

Chu Yunxi asked Hei Mu to bring Sun Shiche over and asked Xiao Mubei to draw his portrait. Then she said to Zhang Chenmu, "Master Zhang, please go back to the palace and find a way to find this person and see if he is really in the East Palace."

Zhang Chenmu agreed.

Bai Yu came back to report and asked the storyteller to come over and identify the person. It was indeed the person who gave them the silver.

Zhang Chenmu was waiting for Xiao Mubei's portrait. He was bored and saw Chu Yunxi was thinking with her head down. So he asked, "Is there something wrong with what Qin Long said?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "I haven't found anything yet, but I always feel like something is wrong. He is the henchman of the person behind the scenes. Yes, but we can't just listen to his one-sided story. We must follow the clues. If a person lives in the capital, it is impossible for him to have no clues. Only by finding out his background can we find out the person behind him."

At this point, Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, draw the portrait of Qin Long and have the painters make hundreds of copies. Post them all over the city. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a certain amount of silver. Is that okay?"

"of course can."

Xiao Mubei has absolute confidence in Chu Yunxi's ability to investigate cases. In this regard, her professionalism is unquestionable, and Xiao Mubei will never refuse anything she asks him to do.

After making the arrangements, Chu Yunxi took Bai Yu to Ruyun Tower and met with Wen Rulan. Wen Rulan returned the needle crossbow to her and said, "Today, I fought with that person and felt that his movements were somewhat familiar. It seemed that I had seen him in my previous memories, but after all, it was not my memory and it was a long time ago, so I can't remember it."

Chu Yunxi hurriedly said: "Then think about it carefully. Your original owner was King Jingyuan's secret guard. Are you related to King Jingyuan?"

Wen Rulan tapped her head and said, "My memory is very shallow. I guess even if I have seen him before, it was only very brief. We may have fought or teamed up, but it was always when there were many people around. It was just a flash. I really can't remember it."

Have you fought against each other? Or have you teamed up with each other?

Chu Yunxi had no way of prying open his brain, so she could only ask him to think about it carefully.

After returning to the palace, Chu Yunxi went to see Zi Han. She was stabbed in the arm with a sword, a deep wound that almost exposed the bone. If it was not treated properly, she might not be able to hold a sword in the future.

Chu Yunxi originally thought that it was not serious as Xiao Mubei said, but when she saw it, she was shocked and immediately pressed Zi Han down to lie down.
