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

Seeing that Chu Yunxi didn't respond for a long time, Zhuoma stood up and said, "Third Miss, please think about it carefully. If you need our assistance, we will do our best."

Chu Yunxi said in a tangled tone: "You...let me think about it."

After Zhuoma left, Chu Yunxi's face returned to calm. She rubbed her face and muttered softly, "It's not easy to be an actor."

Wen Rulan heard that the number of guards around had increased again, and whispered: "It seems that Zhuoma is not going to let you go."

"He has shown his intention to rebel, so he will definitely not let me leave so easily. For them, my identity can be of great help to them. If they turn me against them, it would be like opening a loophole for them to enter and exit the palace at any time to get information. Such a person must be difficult for them to find."

"But he doesn't know your identity as the concubine of Prince Dingbei yet. If he knew, he probably wouldn't dare to use you."

"Then let's seize this opportunity and get more information."

A maidservant outside said, "Miss, Village Chief Zhuoma asked me to bring some food over."

"come in."

The maid brought in the food and placed them on the table one by one. She then went over to light up the incense that Wen Rulan had cut off, saying as she did so: "Young lady, this incense is a calming incense from Persia. It is the best for relieving travel fatigue. The village chief specifically instructed that you must light it for the young lady so that she can have a good rest."

Chu Yunxi was alert. Why did Zhuoma insist on letting her light this calming incense? She smiled and said, "Actually, I am allergic to incense. No matter what kind of incense it is, as long as I smell it for one night, I will definitely get a rash the next day. It is extremely itchy. That's why I had to put out the incense. I am really sorry for failing to live up to Master Zhuoma's kindness."

The maid's hand lighting the incense paused, and she had to give up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll report to the village chief. Miss, please eat quickly."

"Thank you."

Chu Yunxi smiled politely and watched the maid leave before she relaxed. "There must be something strange about this fragrance, but I can't smell anything. The fragrance is not poisonous, and neither is the food."

Wen Rulan said casually: "Maybe the two mixed together are poisonous."

Chu Yunxi, who was about to pick up some food, paused, thinking that it made sense, and didn't dare to eat anymore. She took out a sesame cake from her bag and shared it with Wen Rulan.

As night fell, Wen Rulan moved as light as a swallow, avoiding the heavy guards, went out to deliver a letter to Xiao Mubei, and then explored Zhuoma's mansion before going back to rest.

Chu Yunxi had a light sleep but didn't dare to fall into a deep sleep. She got up early in the morning, opened the door and went out into the yard.

Wen Rulan had already gotten up to practice martial arts. A maid came forward to serve Chu Yunxi, "Miss, would you like breakfast?"

"No hurry, I want to walk around the mansion, is that okay?"

"Of course you can. The village chief has said that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't leave the mansion." The maid replied.

Do you want to put her under house arrest?

Chu Yunxi waved to Wen Rulan, and Wen Rulan followed her to wander around Zhuoma's mansion. He had already figured out the structure of the mansion last night, so he led Chu Yunxi to the yard at the back.

"This morning, the secret guards around where we live all withdrew to the outside of the yard. It seems that they don't plan to let you leave in the short term, but they have left a relatively independent space for you." Wen Rulan said as they walked.

"Zhuoma should know that if he sends someone to monitor me all the time, I will definitely not stay. He wants to incite me to rebel. I can't leave this yard before I agree to cooperate with him, so there is no need for him to keep watching me." Chu Yunxi slowly walked along the route Wen Rulan pointed out to her.

As they walked, a man came over. He was dressed in white, had a handsome face and a slender figure. Wen Rulan whispered behind Chu Yunxi, "This man lives in the last courtyard. There are the most secret guards around his house at night. I'm afraid his identity is not simple."

Chu Yunxi walked along the edge of the garden, stopping from time to time to admire the flowers in the garden. The man actually came towards her, stopped in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Are you the third lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion?"

Chu Yunxi looked up and asked doubtfully, "Who is it, young master?"

"I am Xiao Junxiang."

Surname Xiao? Chu Yunxi's eyelids twitched slightly, as if she had grasped something.

His expression remained calm, "Mr. Xiao, what do you want from me?"

Xiao Junxiang smiled slightly, "I heard from Zhuoma that the Third Miss is very graceful and trustworthy. I want to get to know her. I wonder if the Third Miss is willing to give me a chance?"

Chu Yunxi looked him up and down. He was very graceful and handsome. Seeing Chu Yunxi looking at him, he also behaved in a graceful manner.

"Sir, you are joking. How could a man as talented as you be interested in a little girl like me? Sir, please stop teasing me. Goodbye."

After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, she bowed, turned around and left with Wen Rulan.

Xiao Junxiang looked at Chu Yunxi's back, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Interesting."

Chu Yunxi and Wen Rulan returned to the room. The maid had already brought breakfast. Chu Yunxi sent the maid away and said to Wen Rulan, "Brother, who do you think this person is?"

"It's just as you thought." Wen Rulan looked at her and nodded, "He must be the descendant of Xiao Muyu."

Chu Yunxi tapped the table habitually. "So, Xiao Junxiang is the one they want to push to the top. No wonder the decoration here is so luxurious. It seems that Xiao Junxiang is the real owner here. Zhuoma is just a cover-up. The capital has not received any news about Xiao Junxiang. They have done a great job of keeping it secret."

"Maybe it's what you said, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the news here is unknown in the capital, and similarly, the news here will not be known too much in the capital, so your identity can be kept secret for the time being."

"Well, Brother, what do you think we should do next?"

"How about you use the beauty trap?" Wen Rulan grinned evilly.

Chu Yunxi agreed, "Great minds think alike."

Wen Rulan covered her face, "I was just talking casually, shouldn't you reject it righteously?"

Chu Yunxi stood up and turned around. "Only if you are pretty can you use the beauty trap. I have the capital, so why would I refuse? But don't tell the prince, otherwise it will be unnecessary trouble."

"You still know how to hide it from the prince," Wen Rulan said with a miserable look on her face, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the prince found out?"

"I am devoting myself to investigating the case. As a leader, shouldn't he be grateful and feel relieved to have such a good employee like me?"

"What about a boyfriend? How would he feel if he saw his girlfriend seducing another man?"

Chu Yunxi said righteously: "Brother, where is your professionalism? Have you forgotten that we also needed to wear makeup for reconnaissance in the past? There are also many couples in the bureau, so don't they go out on missions?"
