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

It was not until the evening that the last wave of people were finally sent away. Chu Yunxi looked through the clues obtained today. Xiao Mubei ordered people to prepare meals. Everyone had been busy all day, so they had dinner and rested together in the Dali Temple in the evening.

"Qin Long lives in Lihua Lane, just across the wall from the Sun Mansion. No wonder he can often meet with Yunniang without anyone noticing."

Chu Yunxi said as she flipped through the records.

"Qin Long often goes to a nearby noodle stall to eat noodles by himself. The stall owner said that he seldom talks to people. Neighbors have only seen him but never talked to him. They all say that he is a weirdo. He never goes out to work, but he is quite generous. Although his clothes are not high-profile, the materials are all good."

Chu Yunxi pieced the fragmented information together.

"Almost all these clues were provided by the people of Lihua Lane. Is it possible that no one has seen him anywhere else except Lihua Lane?" Xiao Mubei raised an objection.

"Yes, sometimes he would go to a brothel to spend the night with a girl. He didn't drink, he just slept and didn't talk much. He would leave after the night was over."

Except for Chu Yunxi, everyone in the hall was a man. Everyone felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, but Chu Yunxi didn't seem to react.

She was still flipping through the pages, looking for useful clues. When the food was served, Xiao Mubei called her, "Have your meal first. Let's go to Qin Long's house tomorrow to see if there are any clues."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi was about to go to dinner when she suddenly exclaimed, "Hey!" She picked up a record. "This is a clue provided by a waiter at a restaurant on Mingde Street. He said he had met Qin Long several times on Mingde Street. Every time he walked by in a hurry with his head down. But because the waiter was used to judging whether a passerby was a potential customer based on his attire, he would look more carefully. Although Qin Long had never been there to eat, the waiter had an impression of him after seeing him several times."

Xiao Mubei's heart sank, "Prince Rui's Mansion is on Mingde Street."

Prince Rui, the fourth son of Emperor Sui Ming, was named Xiao Ziyi. He was previously attached to Prince Jingyuan. After Prince Jingyuan got into trouble, he lived in seclusion, claiming to be sick and not attending court. Xiao Mubei had not seen him since he came back.

Chu Yunxi remembered that her father, Marquis Zhongyong, once said that the Fourth Prince seemed to have no ambitions. He openly supported the Crown Prince and secretly supported Prince Jingyuan. He often said that he was only suitable to be a minister, not a king. But in fact, he had a very smart mind and his thoughts were very deep.

Could it be that this incident is related to King Rui?

It was night, and the moon was high in the sky. Chu Yunxi was staying in the small courtyard of Dali Temple tonight. Lying on the bed, she could just see the bright moon outside. She had been lying down for a long time, but she couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the moon, her heart couldn't calm down.

Xiao Mubei lived next door. Chu Yunxi heard Bai Yu knocking on the door and called out softly, "Your Highness."

Xiao Mubei opened the door and the two went into the house to talk. Chu Yunxi couldn't hear what they said. Only the word "Your Highness" that she had just heard echoed in her mind. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head and she sat up with a start.

wrong!

Chu Yunxi hurriedly put on her shoes and got out of bed, then hurried to the next room and went in without knocking, which scared Xiao Mubei and Bai Yu who were talking.

Bai Yu thought Chu Yunxi had a nightmare and came to Xiao Mubei. He felt a little embarrassed and wondered if he should leave immediately. But Chu Yunxi asked him directly, "Bai Yu, if you were talking about the prince to others, what would you call him?"

Bai Yu was a little confused and said, "Of course, you should call him Prince or His Highness."

"So if you were to talk about the Crown Prince to someone else, would you say Crown Prince or His Royal Highness?"

"The prince is not my master, so I will definitely say the prince."

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, "Prince, do you still remember how Qin Long addressed the prince when he was explaining it?"

Xiao Mubei was just reading the file, so he naturally knew, "He was addressing the prince."

"That's right, so I can be sure that Qin Long is not the prince's man, because if he is, he would usually say, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, that's right. If that's the case, then Qin Long is framing the prince."

"That's right. In Qin Long's confession, the Imperial Observatory did not appear. The prince and the Imperial Observatory are in collusion. I always feel that the Imperial Observatory is involved in this matter."

Chu Yunxi frowned, "There are still many questions that I can't figure out, but it is a fact that Qin Long is framing the prince. It seems that I need to investigate Prince Rui."

"We have sent people to keep an eye on Prince Rui's Mansion. So far, there is nothing unusual." Xiao Mubei said.

Chu Yunxi said: "If there is really something wrong with Prince Rui, it won't work just by keeping an eye on him. Now is the time when the storm is at its peak. If Prince Rui is not stupid, he will not make any moves during this period."

This is indeed the truth. Xiao Mubei said, "Then I'll let Baiyu Heimu go and investigate."

"Okay, I'll let my brother go with them so that we can take care of each other if anything happens."

After the discussion, Chu Yunxi went back to rest. This time, she finally slept soundly. She slept until 9:00 the next morning. After getting up, Hongyu said, "The prince saw that you slept soundly, so he has taken people to Qin Long's house, but he didn't ask to call the princess."

Chu Yunxi knew that Xiao Mubei sympathized with her hard work, so he let her rest more whenever possible. However, the deadline given by Emperor Sui Ming was approaching day by day, and there were still many mysteries that remained unsolved. It would be a lie to say that there was no pressure.

Since someone went to search Qin Long's house, Chu Yunxi went to the prison again. Since he lied to her, she simply played along and went to test his attitude.

Maybe because he thought Chu Yunxi believed him, and because she didn't torture him last time and didn't interrogate him again in the past two days, Qin Long felt a little proud and thought he had deceived the Dali Temple. He was not so scared when he saw Chu Yunxi.

As soon as Chu Yunxi saw him, she said, "Qin Long, you said that the prince planned the formation of all hearts returning to one, then do you know who helped the prince to come up with the plan?"

Qin Long said: "How can we know about the above things? Besides, I am not usually in the East Palace, how can I know?"

Chu Yunxi curled her lips and smiled, then changed the question, "How did you and the prince meet?"

Qin Long was stunned for a moment, and Chu Yunxi asked, "Why, do you have to think about this too?"

Qin Long said: "No, I was just wondering why the princess asked this question."

"Don't worry about that. Just answer whatever I ask."

Qin Long had no choice but to say, "More than a decade ago, the prince was on a tour and I was chased and killed. It was the prince who ordered my enemy to be beheaded and saved my life with precious medicinal herbs. I owe the prince a life, so naturally I have to work for him."

"You are grateful, but now you are betraying your benefactor, don't you feel guilty?" Chu Yunxi looked at him with a smile, but her words were merciless.
