The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 237 Being plotted
It’s over, it’s over. It seems like things have gone too far. Chu Yunxi lamented in her heart. Even if she wanted to obtain evidence, she definitely didn’t have the hobby of playing with other people’s feelings.
Not allowing him to misunderstand, Chu Yunxi made up her mind and stuffed the jade pendant into Xiao Junxiang's hand, saying seriously: "Mr. Xiao, you and I have only known each other for a short time and don't know each other well. It's too early to talk about being together day and night. You may think I'm not bad for a while, but after you meet more women in the future, you will find that I'm just an ordinary woman. I can't give you a wrong impression, and I can't accept this jade pendant."
Xiao Junxiang was anxious to speak, and Chu Yunxi said, "I only have friendship with you now, and there is no love between man and woman. I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to be the mother of the country. If you still want to be friends with Yunxi, then I will just pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. We will still be friends in the future. Otherwise..."
Chu Yunxi didn't say anything else. Xiao Junxiang clenched the jade pendant in his hand. This was the first time his heart was moved and the first time he confessed his love. He didn't expect it to end in failure. The feeling of loss in his heart at this moment almost made him unable to sit still. However, he felt that Chu Yunxi was even more rare. She had her own ideas, did not cling to the powerful, and did not follow the crowd. He felt that he seemed to like her more.
After all, Xiao Junxiang was a person who received a good education since childhood. Although he felt uncomfortable, he finally calmed down and nodded, "I understand what the Third Miss said. I won't embarrass the Third Miss."
Chu Yunxi smiled, "I know you are a reasonable person, so I won't say more. You and I get along well. Since we are going to work together in the future, why don't you tell me about your story?"
"it is good."
Xiao Junxiang let down his guard and started talking about his grandfather. He said that his father went through a lot of hardships to survive, and the family hid in Lijia Village and finally settled down. Unfortunately, his father was injured and died young.
His mother died of complications during childbirth. Since childhood, he was raised by Zhuoma's father and mother. He and Zhuoma grew up together like brothers. He envied Zhuoma since childhood because she could play everywhere, while he could only be trapped in this yard.
Chu Yunxi finally learned about these complicated relationships from Xiao Junxiang. What she didn't expect was that Yuan Rubai was actually Wan Luochen's brother. The child from the Yuan family had died long ago, and it was Yuan Rubai who went back. From then on, their power had infiltrated into the palace.
If Yuan Rubai had not been implicated in this series of events, once the news was passed on from southern Xinjiang, Yuan Rubai would have launched an uprising in the palace, and Emperor Sui Ming's safety would have been in question.
Xiao Junxiang didn't know anything else. After he left Chu Yunxi's residence, Wen Rulan came in and said, "The people sent by the prince today reported that they had found the whereabouts of the marquis's body."
Chu Yunxi stood up suddenly and asked, "Really?"
"Yes," Wen Rulan said, "I have already told Zhuoma's people the news. He should come to you soon."
"Where is my father's body?" Chu Yunxi asked impatiently.
Wen Rulan shook her head. "I don't know yet. The prince's people didn't tell me. They just told you to wait for news from Zhuoma."
Why didn't Xiao Mubei tell her directly? Chu Yunxi was a little anxious, watching the sky gradually darken and the day was almost over.
After dinner, Zhuoma arrived as expected. As soon as she entered the room, she said straight to the point, "Miss San, there is news about the remains of your father, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."
Chu Yunxi immediately became nervous, "Where is it?"
Zhuoma hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that in that great war, the emperor of Nandi led the army in person. Your father was responsible for the important task but still inflicted heavy damage on the Nandi army. Although the emperor of Nandi suffered heavy losses, he was full of respect for you and ordered the soldiers not to desecrate the corpse and to bring your body back to Nandi. As for how your father was dealt with after bringing it back, we have no way of finding out."
"My father's body was actually taken away by the Emperor of Nandi?" Chu Yunxi murmured in disbelief, "I wonder who Mistress Zhuoma heard this from?"
"We found a soldier who witnessed the battle. He told us that all the remaining soldiers knew about this incident. They wanted to steal the remains of the loyal and brave Marquis so that he could go home, but they failed and lost several lives. The Emperor of Nan Di guarded the remains of the Marquis very closely. Later, Nan Di withdrew his troops and there was no news of him since then."
Chu Yunxi sat down dejectedly. "So, if I want to find my father's body, I have to go to the palace in Nandi and ask the emperor?"
Zhuoma hesitated for a moment, "Even if we don't ask the emperor, we still need to enter Nandi to look for him. Our people are not allowed to enter."
The implication was that they had important things to do right away and couldn't go to Nandi and cause trouble for themselves.
Chu Yunxi thought for a while, raised her head, and said with a firm look: "Master Zhuoma, thank you for telling me this news. In return, I should help you and do my part, but I have to go to Nandi next, and I am afraid I can't come back in a short time. Let me pass the news to my second brother and ask him to help you in the capital. As for me, I will go to Nandi directly through Southern Xinjiang. I will never give up until I find my father's body this time."
"Miss San, you should come back to the capital with us. Once the great cause is accomplished, it won't be too late to go to Nandi to get information."
"That would be too troublesome going back and forth," Chu Yunxi wanted to take the opportunity to get away, but unexpectedly Zhuoma refused to give in.
"Miss San already knows too many of our secrets. It's not impossible to ask Brother Ling to help us, but it's better for Miss San to come with us, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to go on before you even reach Nandi."
Chu Yunxi's face changed, "What did you do to me?"
Zhuoma smiled faintly, "I originally thought that as long as Miss Third was obedient and sincerely cooperated with us, after the great cause was accomplished, I would remove the poison from your body without anyone noticing and let you do what you want. But I didn't expect that Miss Third only wanted to use us. After finding out the whereabouts of your father's body, she immediately wanted to destroy the bridge after crossing the river."
“Gu?” Chu Yunxi’s face changed drastically. She still remembered that Empress Xian died because of being poisoned by a Gu. How come she was being plotted against now?
Zhuoma sneered, "That's right, Miss Chu San, Princess Dingbei, you are very smart and know not to light the calming incense, but you can't not eat. Since this mixed poison can't poison you, then change the Gu. I don't believe that you can still not sleep and be on guard all the time? I knew there was something wrong with your identity. Sure enough, I tried my best to help you investigate, but you played me like a monkey. Do you think I will never find out your identity?"
