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

"That's great, but you still need to work harder. Medicine is broad and profound, and you've only scratched the surface. When you finish reading the book, ask me for a new one. Follow Dr. Lu every day, and record how he treats patients and prescribes medicine. Then compare it with what's in the book, and feel free to ask if you don't understand."

Chu Yunxi gave Yue Yanran instructions while taking her to private room No. 1.

Xiao Mubei, Chu Zhongxi, Wen Rulan and Doctor Lu were already waiting there. There was a charcoal stove on the table, and Wen Rulan's homemade hot pot base was cooking in the pot, and the aroma was already wafting in the air.

The table was full of dishes, all of which were Chu Yunxi’s favorites. What was even more thoughtful was that there were dipping sauces. Wen Rulan had prepared so thoroughly.

"It smells so good," Chu Yunxi sat down impatiently, "I'm sorry to have wasted everyone's time. Shall we start eating?"

Chu Zhongxi smiled, "You greedy cat, you can't walk when you see delicious food since you were a child, eat it quickly."

Chu Yunxi said: "Food is the most important thing for people. Doesn't my second brother like to eat too?"

"Okay, I can't argue with you." Chu Zhongxi lovingly picked up some mutton for his sister, and went to talk to Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan.

Chu Yunxi discussed medical skills with Doctor Lu while eating. When talking about Yue Yanran's treatment, Doctor Lu also gave a lot of good suggestions.

After eating and drinking, it was almost midnight. Chu Yunxi didn't want to ride in the carriage, saying that she had eaten too much and needed to walk around to digest the food. Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi accompanied her back.

The moonlight shone brightly on the empty streets of the capital. The lights in the houses on the roadside were off. The whole world was quiet. Chu Zhongxi suddenly said, "It would be great if Big Brother was here too."

Chu Yunxi asked: "Is there any news about Big Brother recently?"

Chu Zhongxi shook his head and looked at Xiao Mubei, who also shook his head. "No news has been sent back. It's as if he has evaporated from the face of the earth. No one can be found alive or dead."

Chu Yunxi was silent for a while, then said, "No news, but maybe that's good news."

At least in this way, they will still have a glimmer of hope. Maybe Chu Yuanxi is still alive somewhere in this world, waiting for the opportunity to return to his hometown.

"Who is it?" Xiao Mubei suddenly shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of Baiyu and Heimu appeared. One of them landed beside the three people, and the other flew after a figure.

Xiao Mubei, Chu Zhongxi and Bai Yu looked around vigilantly. After a while, Bai Yu said, "No one is here."

Hei Mu came back after a while and reported: "When I was about to catch up with that man, he shot a hidden weapon at me. When I dodged, he ran away. It was a hidden weapon."

In Hei Mu's hand was a hidden sword that shone with silver light. Chu Zhongxi took it and looked at it, saying, "This is a hidden weapon of the Wanjian Sect in Southern Xinjiang. I have seen it in Southern Xinjiang before when I was fighting with Nan Di. Your Highness should have an impression of it."

Xiao Mubei took it, looked at it, and nodded, "Yes, the Wanjian Sect in Southern Xinjiang does use this kind of hidden sword, but why did the Wanjian Sect come to the capital?"

Nanjiang seemed to appear more frequently in the past two days. Chu Yunxi frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Your Highness, do you remember that the fiefdom of Xiao Muyu mentioned by the Emperor Taishang is in Nanjiang?"

"That's right, you are suspicious..." Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi and stopped talking halfway.

"That's right." Chu Yunxi nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Zhongxi looked at the two people in confusion.

Chu Yunxi said: "It's okay, second brother, let's go about the case we are talking about."

On the second day, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi did not go to the Dali Temple, but came to the Yuan family.

Yuan Rubai's arrest was kept secret. After all, the Yuan family was the empress's family. Although the empress had been sentenced to death, she was not deposed. Emperor Sui Ming also let the Yuan family go and only told the outside world that the empress had an acute illness.

Yuan Rubai was the empress's cousin and was also a member of Emperor Sui Ming's family, so few people knew that Yuan Rubai was imprisoned in the Dali Temple.

The Yuan family was still in the dark at this moment, and they were somewhat nervous about the sudden visit of Prince Dingbei and his concubine.

The Yuan family knew about the prince being deposed and banished to the cold palace. Originally, the Yuan family had the support of the queen and the prince, and they were extremely glorious before. But all of a sudden, the queen died suddenly, the prince was deposed, and the Yuan family's backers all collapsed at once. How could this not make the Yuan family's arrogance disappear instantly?

Seeing Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi at this moment, Yuan Baozhuang, the head of the Yuan family and the elder brother of the late Queen, immediately bowed deeply, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

Xiao Mubei said: "Uncle Yuan, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today because I want to ask you something."

The late queen was not Xiao Mubei's biological mother, but she was his stepmother. As the brother of Queen Yuan, she was naturally Xiao Mubei's elder.

Yuan Baozhuang said, "Please ask, Your Majesty."

"Zheng Yuan Rubai, the director of the Imperial Observatory, is he your cousin? I want to know everything about him."

"Yuan Rubai? He is rarely at home, and we don't know much about him." Yuan Baozhuang laughed and obviously didn't want to say anything.

Xiao Mubei's face darkened. "Uncle Yuan, I hope you can cooperate with whatever I ask and answer well. I will consider asking my father to spare your Yuan family again."

Yuan Baozhuang's expression changed drastically, "What does your Highness mean by this?"

Xiao Mubei said calmly: "Queen, Crown Prince, Yuan Rubai, Uncle Yuan is a smart man, he should understand what this means."

Yuan Baozhuang's face turned pale, and after a long while he said, "What does the prince want to know?"

"Everything about Yuan Rubai. The Yuan family is so rich, why did he learn divination and astrology?"

Yuan Baozhuang said, "In fact, I really didn't lie to the prince. Yuan Rubai rarely showed up in the family since he was a child, and no one knew much about him. But I heard that he had a serious illness when he was born, and he had visited many famous doctors but had little effect. So his parents, my uncle and aunt, sent him to a witch doctor for treatment. They were gone for five years. When they saw him again, he was already a five-year-old child, in good health, and all his illnesses had been cured. My uncle was very happy at the time, and he hosted a banquet and introduced him to the relatives. Later, Yuan Rubai said that the witch doctor said he had to continue practicing, so he embarked on this path."

Chu Yunxi immediately found the problem, "That is to say, after Yuan Rubai was born, he was not in the Yuan family for five years, but was with the witch doctor?"

"Yes."

Witch doctor, wizard, is there such a coincidence in the world? A newborn child was sent away and returned only when he was five years old. The child's appearance had changed a lot. How could we be sure that this child was the original child?

Chu Yunxi asked the question, and Yuan Baozhuang hesitated and said, "I don't know about this. I think it's because there is some mark on Yuan Rubai's body?"
