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

Chu Yunxi specially arranged Wen Rulan and Wu Lingqi to stay in the same room. The intention was self-evident. It was for protection and surveillance. She also wanted to chat with him and find out his background. However, he was very alert now and basically didn't talk much.

But after all, they had been traveling together for two days, and Wu Lingqi had relaxed a lot. He was not so afraid of this group of people anymore.

After all, she was his savior.

After entering the house, Wen Rulan did not deliberately say anything to him. She asked the waiter to bring food. After eating with him, she casually said, "The young master is in the room opposite. If you want to find him, you can go over anytime."

After saying that, without waiting for his answer, she called the waiter to come and clean up the dishes. Turning around, she found that Wu Lingqi had covered himself with the black scarf again.

With the purple guards patrolling, Wen Rulan and Chu Zhongxi went to Xiao Mubei's room to discuss how to find Chu Yuanxi's whereabouts next.

Chu Yunxi said, "We still have to find out where our father's body was taken. My eldest brother must be looking for our father's body as well. Since we are heading in the same direction, we will definitely run into each other while searching."

Xiao Mubei agreed with Chu Yunxi's words, took out the map of Kara City that he had prepared in advance, and spread it on the table. "We are now on Suzaku Street, which is only three blocks away from the palace. If we want to find out where the remains of the Marquis were taken, we must first find out why the young emperor Wu Zixu took the remains of the Marquis away. I think we should first verify the truth of the rumor, whether Empress Dowager Rong and the Marquis knew each other, and whether they had any intersection."

Chu Zhongxi wanted to speak again, but Wen Rulan held down his only arm and said, "Your Highness is right. Investigating the rumors is also to clear your name."

Chu Zhongxi swallowed his words and asked, "Then where should we start?"

"Of course, it's the place with the most information." Chu Yunxi took out a pen and circled a few places: restaurants, teahouses, inns, and brothels.

"There is another shortcut," Chu Yunxi glanced across the door, "If we can start with him, it might be much easier."

Wen Rulan naturally understood what Chu Yunxi meant, "But we can't put all our hopes on him. We still have to do what we should do."

"It's natural."

After they agreed on a strategy, they decided to split into several groups the next day to familiarize themselves with the city of Kara.

Chu Yunxi was naturally in a group with Xiao Mubei, Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei were in a group, Chu Zhongxi and Zi Han were in a group. Some of the Purple Guards secretly protected the people in each group, and some stayed in the inn to watch over Wu Lingqi and protect Hong Yu Qingmei and the others.

Everything was arranged properly and everyone had a good sleep. After days of traveling, although they didn't need to walk, riding in the carriage was still very tiring. Every time they arrived at an inn, everyone would take the time to catch up on some sleep.

But Wen Rulan didn't sleep well because Wu Lingqi got up in the middle of the night and left the inn.

It was already past midnight, and he quietly opened the door and slipped out. However, what he didn't know was that Wen Rulan had a strong internal strength, and she had already woken up when he just got out of bed, but she didn't make a sound. After he left, she used her lightness skills to follow him.

Although there is no curfew in Kara City at night, people who have been busy all day have already fallen asleep. The whole city is quiet. Occasionally, if a night watchman passes by, Wu Lingqi will deliberately avoid him.

He seemed to be very familiar with Kara City. He turned left and right without thinking at all. When he came to a wall, he suddenly stopped and looked at the wall for a long time. Wen Rulan felt a little strange. After he finally left, she walked closer and took a look in the moonlight. She saw a missing person notice posted on the wall.

Wen Rulan tore it off without hesitation, folded it and put it in her arms, then followed Wu Lingqi again. Finally, she saw him stop in front of a big house, staring at the house motionlessly.

Wen Rulan saw the plaque of the house clearly and waited for Wu Lingqi on the roof. He waited until he was almost asleep. Then he finally moved and returned to the inn along the same route.

Wen Rulan had already returned to her room before him and pretended to be still asleep. She heard him enter the room, close the door, and lie down on the bed. Then she opened her eyes in the darkness and looked out the window. It was already the darkest moment before dawn. It would be light soon, but Wu Lingqi had been out for most of the night.

After the morning hour, several people got up one after another, had breakfast and prepared to leave. Wen Rulan entered Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei's room and took out the missing person notice that was torn off last night.

Chu Yunxi took it and looked at it suspiciously. She immediately opened her eyes wide and pointed at the portrait above and said, "This... is this Wu Lingqi?"

"That's right. After we all fell asleep last night, he got up alone, went outside the Prince Qi's mansion, and stood there for most of the night."

"I didn't expect that he was actually the legitimate son of the Nandi Qi Wang, the Qi Wang Wu Beichen who was said to want to compete with the young emperor for the throne?"

Although Chu Yunxi guessed Wu Lingqi's royal identity, she thought he was a member of the palace. She never expected that he was actually the legitimate son of King Qi. Looking at the missing person notice, his disappearance made King Qi Wu Beichen very anxious. If that was the case, why didn't he dare to go back?

Xiao Mubei said: "In this case, we must help him. If the one who harmed him is not his father, then it must be another person of high status in Prince Qi's mansion. Otherwise, he would not be so afraid of him."

"That's right," Wen Rulan said, crossing her arms, "I saw that he wanted to go back when he looked at Prince Qi's mansion, but he must have some concerns, so he had to stay at home."

Chu Yunxi said confidently: "Just wait, he will come to us soon. A person who grew up in such a wealthy family, no matter how kind-hearted he is, will inevitably be exposed to intrigues and conspiracies. He probably didn't want to fight before, but now that he has escaped death, I'm afraid he can no longer be indifferent."

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. The three of them looked at each other, and Chu Yunxi said silently, "I'm coming."

Wen Rulan put away the missing person notice, opened the door, and sure enough, it was Wu Lingqi standing at the door.

Xiao Mubei said to Wen Rulan, "According to the original plan, your two groups will leave first, and we will go later."

Wen Rulan responded and went. Xiao Mubei asked Wu Lingqi to come in and sit down. Chu Yunxi poured him a glass of water and said, "Have you thought it through? Do you want us to help you?"

Wu Lingqi had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, which were prepared for him by Hongyu. His hair was tied up, and although his face was still covered with a black scarf, it was obvious that he had shaved his beard. At this moment, he looked like a different person. Perhaps he had made up his mind, and his spirit had returned. He no longer looked timid as he had in the past few days.

He was holding the teacup in his hand, his expression still a little nervous, probably considering how to start the conversation. After a while, he took off the black scarf covering his face, revealing his true face.
