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

Xiao Junxiang smiled and said, "What the young lady said is exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately, I am not as lucky as the young lady. I don't have a pair of understanding parents who can follow the young lady's wishes."

"It's a pity that my parents are gone now." Chu Yunxi lowered her head, and a strand of hair fell down in front of her forehead.

Xiao Junxiang subconsciously wanted to reach out to help Chu Yunxi lift her hair up, but Chu Yunxi dodged reflexively and Xiao Junxiang's hand fell awkwardly in mid-air.

"Sorry, girl. I was rude." Xiao Junxiang apologized quickly.

Chu Yunxi also felt a little embarrassed, so she said, "It's okay, Mr. Xiao, don't always call me a girl, just call me Yunxi."

"Okay, Yunxi." Xiao Junxiang readily followed suit.

Chu Yunxi lifted her hair up and took a sip of water to ease the embarrassment before saying, "I think Lady Zhuoma is easy to talk to. Didn't Master Xiao ask to go out of the house for a walk?"

"He disagrees," Xiao Junxiang stood up and paced slowly, "He said it's not the right time yet."

"Oh? Isn't the time right?" Chu Yunxi was a little confused.

Xiao Junxiang asked: "Why do you say that, young lady?"

Chu Yunxi seemed to remember something and said hurriedly, "Nothing, I was just guessing."

A look of suspicion appeared on Xiao Junxiang's face, and he seemed absent-minded afterwards, and left after a while.

Wen Rulan came in and asked, "He was in a hurry today. Did you say anything to him?"

Chu Yunxi stood up. "Zhuoma didn't seem to tell him the news I brought. I just mentioned it on purpose and then denied it. He should be asking Zhuoma now."

"Someone from the Wanjian Sect came last night. I overheard him telling Zhuoma to get ready. They were going to take action, so he should also get ready to leave."

Chu Yunxi's hand tightened on the Eight Immortals Table. "It seems that their plan is to take Xiao Junxiang to the capital to succeed him after they capture the capital. But from what I have observed over the past two days, Xiao Junxiang seems to be just a puppet. They need Xiao Junxiang, but they just need a legitimate successor. But they don't tell him anything. I think we can start with Xiao Junxiang to alienate them."

"Okay, I will pass the news to the prince and ask him to prepare early. Now the east and west sides are already well defended. The military strength of Rui and Shu is far inferior to that of Dasui. As long as it is not a sneak attack, there should be no big problem. The capital should have received the news and made preparations. Wan Luochen and his men have limited manpower and will definitely not be able to cause any trouble in the capital. Yuan Rubai has also been controlled long ago. If we control Xiao Junxiang, we can capture the Emperor Star in one fell swoop this time."

Chu Yunxi nodded. Now that the remaining forces of the Emperor-Slaying Star in southern Xinjiang have gradually surfaced, after resolving this hidden danger, she can quickly go find her elder brother.

In the inn.

Bai Yu was reporting to Xiao Mubei, "Zhuoma's people are now helping the princess to find out the whereabouts of the Marquis's body. Master Wen has reported that there is another person in the mansion, who should be Xiao Muyu's descendant, named Xiao Junxiang. The princess is trying to get close to him and intends to start with him to disintegrate Zhuoma's power from within."

"Xiao Junxiang?" Xiao Mubei frowned, "You said that the princess is approaching him?"

Bai Yu was a little afraid to answer and could only nod, looking anxiously at Xiao Mubei's gloomy face that seemed to be dripping with water.

Is the prince jealous?

"Bai Yu, find a way to sneak into Zhuoma's mansion and find out about Xiao Junxiang's situation. Don't let the princess suffer any loss."

"Yes." Bai Yu responded and turned his head to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The princess always lets others suffer losses and rarely suffers losses herself.

But they dared not disobey the prince's orders.

Xiao Mubei clenched his fists tightly. Chu Yunxi had been in Zhuoma's mansion for several days. Since he met her, the two had never been separated for such a long time. No, this matter must be resolved quickly. She couldn't stay in Zhuoma's mansion any longer.

Xiao Mubei called Zi Han in and said, "Send the Purple Guards to find out the news about the remains of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. Once there is any result, find a way to tell Zhuoma's people."

Zi Han went to answer, and Xiao Mubei called Hei Mu again, "Send someone to follow the people of Wanjian Sect, and make sure to quickly find the whereabouts of Wan Luochen, and unite with the capital, and seize the opportunity to arrest them all, and make a quick decision."

Hei Mu also went to make arrangements, and Xiao Mubei finally relaxed a little, but he began to miss Chu Yunxi again. He wondered if she could have enough food and clothes in the Marquis' Mansion? Would she be in danger?

The person being missed was still listening to gossip. Wen Rulan said, "I heard that Xiao Junxiang had a quarrel with Zhuoma and asked him why she didn't tell him anything and always manipulated him like a puppet."

"What did Zhuoma say?" Chu Yunxi was very interested.

"Zhuoma said, I am protecting you, don't you know? All the people are fighting for your life, aren't they all for you? Why are you dissatisfied?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Xiao Junxiang is a canary in a cage. Although he seems extremely valuable, the key is in someone else's hands. If someone else doesn't open the cage, he will never get out. Others will think, I support you every day, and I work hard for you every day. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"That's right," Wen Rulan applauded, "That's right, so it's definitely okay to start with Xiao Junxiang, but..."

Wen Rulan stopped talking halfway. Chu Yunxi was sorting out her needle crossbow. Seeing that he had stopped talking, she raised her head and asked, "Just what?"

"Bai Yu sneaked in today."

"What? Why is he here? Isn't he afraid of being discovered? Is there something wrong with the prince?" Chu Yunxi stood up.

"Your Highness is fine. He is just worried that something might happen to you." Wen Rulan felt that Chu Yunxi was usually quite smart, but today she was not thinking straight. "I asked Bai Yu to leave, but think about it. You have been here for seven or eight days. How can Your Highness not be worried? We should find a way to get out as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll find a way to get some more information out of Xiao Junxiang and then we can leave."

Chu Yunxi felt that it was time to leave here. If Zhuoma really sent someone to investigate her, the news would have been reported back in seven or eight days. It would be dangerous if she stayed any longer.

As they were talking, Xiao Junxiang came again. As soon as he entered the room, he sat down on the armchair angrily. Wen Rulan winked at Chu Yunxi and then left. Chu Yunxi poured a glass of water for Xiao Junxiang and asked, "What happened? Who made our Master Xiao unhappy?"

Although Xiao Junxiang was angry, he was not a man who spoke without restraint, nor did he completely trust Chu Yunxi. In addition, these things could not be told to others casually, so he could only say: "It's okay, I'm just depressed, I want to come to the Third Miss's place and sit and talk to the Third Miss, do you mind?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, "Of course I don't mind. I am honored to be able to help Master Xiao."
