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

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and asked, "Are any of Yuan Rubai's family members still here?"

After all, Yuan Rubai is not young anymore, and it is unlikely that his family is still around.

Sure enough, Yuan Baozhuang said, "All the old people in their family are gone. My uncle's family is small, with only Yuan Rubai as a child, and he is not married. After my uncle and aunt passed away, their family gradually became less and less populated. Yuan Rubai is always in the Imperial Observatory and rarely comes back. There used to be an old housekeeper looking after the family, but he passed away a few years ago, and there is no one left at home anymore."

"He doesn't usually interact with you guys, right?"

"Yes," Yuan Baozhuang said, "After all, he is someone close to His Majesty and rarely leaves the palace. How could he have any contact with us?"

"Then how did he get into the Imperial Observatory?"

Chu Yunxi didn't quite understand the court's management of the Imperial Observatory, so Xiao Mubei explained, "The court holds a selection every three years, hosted by the director of the Imperial Observatory, to recruit talents for the Imperial Observatory. All talented people from the public can sign up to participate. If they pass the selection, they can enter the Imperial Observatory, starting as the chief of the Five Organs, and climb up step by step."

Yuan Baozhuang nodded, "Yes, that's how Yuan Rubai entered the Imperial Observatory through selection. At first, he was just a ninth-rank official in the Five Officials Department. It took him five years to climb to the position of Director of the Observatory."

"Five years?" He climbed so fast. Chu Yunxi knew that Jian Zheng was of the fifth rank. It only took him five years to go from the ninth rank to the fifth rank. Either the Queen helped him, or Yuan Rubai had real talent or clever means.

No matter what Yuan Baozhuang asked, he didn't know. After coming out of the Yuan family, Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "If this Yuan Rubai is really a fake, then it is normal that he can't be found at home now. He absolutely does not allow any mistakes in his identity."

"That's right. If we want to find out who is hiding behind him, there is another direction, which is the Wanjian Sect." Xiao Mubei pointed at the hidden blade placed on the carriage.

Chu Yunxi frowned, "But the Wanjian Sect is in Southern Xinjiang, how can we investigate?"

"There should be someone from the Wanjian Sect in the capital. I'm afraid they are looking for an opportunity to rescue Yuan Rubai. It seems that we need to keep a close watch on Yuan Rubai in the near future."

Xiao Mubei sent Chu Yunxi to Ruyun Tower and then went to get busy. The people of the Sun family were going to be hanged tomorrow, and he also had to make arrangements to rescue Sun Shaozhen.

Chu Yunxi went to see Han Zhener when she arrived at Ruyun Tower. Han Zhener knelt down again when she saw her and said, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."

Chu Yunxi helped her up, "How do you feel now?"

Han Zhener sat down. "The bleeding has basically stopped today. Miss Yanran made some medicine for me. I feel much better after taking it."

In fact, Han Zhener's main problem is excessive blood loss. She needs to stop the bleeding and replenish the blood. As long as the blood is replenished, the disease will naturally be cured. Of course, gynecological problems also need to be treated. This is not difficult for Chu Yunxi. Even Yue Yanran can find the right prescription.

"That's good. You can rest here with peace of mind. You will be fine after taking medicine for a few days."

But Han Zhen'er shook her head, "Princess, I can't stay here forever. I have important things to do. Zhen'er will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future."

Chu Yunxi frowned, "But your body can't stand the torture yet. If you have anything, you might as well tell me and see if I can help."

She didn't want anything to happen to the person she had rescued with great effort.

Han Zhen'er hesitated for a long while before finally asking tentatively, "Then I wonder if the princess knows anyone from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion?"

Chu Yunxi was startled, but remained calm, "Who in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion are you looking for?"

"I heard that the loyal and brave marquis only has his wife and daughter left. I can find anyone. Princess, can you introduce them to me?"

She didn't know about the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. Chu Yunxi said, "I can introduce them, but you have to tell me why you want to see them. Otherwise, if there is anything wrong, wouldn't I be ashamed of them?"

Han Zhen'er shook her head hurriedly, "There will be no problem. I swear, I am only here to report the news, but I cannot tell the princess. I promised someone that I can only tell her after I see the wife or daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis."

Chu Yunxi saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she said, "I am Chu Yunxi, you can tell me."

Han Zhen'er opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "You are... the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"It's me." Chu Yunxi curled her lips, "Since you've been entrusted by someone, you wouldn't even know my name, right?"

"I knew that, but I didn't expect..."

"You didn't expect that I would become the concubine of King Dingbei, right? This is a long story, but everyone in the capital knows that Chu Yunxi is the concubine of King Dingbei. If you don't believe it, you can go out and find out."

Han Zhener hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Princess, I believe you."

She reached into her bosom, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi's face changed the moment she saw the jade pendant. She took it. It was a piece of warm mutton-fat jade, carved very delicately. On the front of the jade was the seal character "Yuan". It had a warm touch and a familiar feeling. She took out the same piece of jade from her body. This was the one she had been wearing when she came into this body. On it was the seal character "Yun".

Each of the three siblings has a jade pendant like this. It was specially carved by the top craftsmen in the palace when the three brothers and sisters were born by the Loyal and Brave Marquis Chu Xiuyao. The same piece of mutton-fat warm jade was used. The one on Chu Zhongxi's body naturally has the word "Zhong" on it.

When Han Zhener saw Chu Yunxi's jade pendant, her doubts were completely dispelled. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She held her hand and said, "Yunxi, it is you. I am your sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law?" Chu Yunxi looked at her in disbelief. When did her elder brother get married? Why didn't her second brother tell her?

Han Zhen'er wiped her tears and said a little embarrassedly: "Your eldest brother and I were secretly engaged, but he didn't have the chance to tell my father and second brother before something happened."

"Is the eldest brother still alive?"

Chu Yunxi anxiously grabbed Han Zhener's hand and looked at her hopefully.

Han Zhener paused, shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Chu Yunxi let go disappointedly. It was not a good feeling to have hope and then be disappointed. However, she finally got news about her elder brother. She immediately called Bai Yu and asked him to quickly notify Chu Zhongxi to come to Ruyun Tower, saying that there was news about her elder brother.

Chu Zhongxi came very quickly. He almost ran upstairs and pushed open the door of Room 1. His breath was unstable. "Yunxi, how is Brother?"

Chu Yunxi was talking to Han Zhener. When she saw Chu Zhongxi coming, she immediately stood up to greet him and said, "Second brother, the eldest brother may still be alive."

This one sentence almost made Chu Zhongxi, a seven-foot-tall man, cry.
