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

Xiao Mubei sat down dejectedly, "Oh my God!"

Chu Yunxi had already walked to the door, but when she saw Xiao Mubei's reaction, she felt something was wrong, so she stepped back and came in front of Xiao Mubei and asked, "Who is this Xiao Rui?"

Xiao Mubei said with difficulty: "My father's name is just Rui."

At this point, Chu Yunxi also widened her eyes and blurted out, "Oh my God!"

She could never have imagined that Emperor Sui Ming would actually leave the palace in disguise and go to Ruyun Tower to see Doctor Lu. Were all the imperial doctors in the palace helpless?

Xiao Mubei seemed to remember something at this time and said, "No wonder."

"No wonder?" Chu Yunxi looked at him in confusion.

"A few days ago, during the morning court session, father issued an order to execute the Imperial Preceptor." Xiao Mubei stood up slowly. "The court was in an uproar. Everyone knows that the Imperial Preceptor held a very important position in father's mind. No one knows what he had done wrong, but father actually ordered him to be executed. That's how it is."

Chu Yunxi also understood that the medicine that Emperor Sui Ming had taken before must have been presented by this so-called imperial teacher.

"So, your majesty's current physical condition..." Chu Yunxi did not continue. She was well aware of the harm that addictive drug could do to the body. Moreover, Emperor Sui Ming must have discovered that something was wrong with his body, so he went out of the palace in disguise to find a famous doctor to secretly treat him. From this point of view, he must have been taking that drug for quite some time.

Xiao Mubei walked back and forth in the room, and it was obvious that he was in a state of confusion at the moment.

Chu Yunxi knew the impact of this incident on Xiao Mubei. Not only him, but if this matter was known by anyone with ulterior motives, it could cause a big mess, so Emperor Sui Ming had to proceed quietly. However, she had a question, "Your Majesty, doesn't Doctor Lu know His Majesty?"

Xiao Mubei said: "Divine Doctor Lu used to be a military doctor and has been in the Langya Army. Although he is very famous, he has never seen my father. He has been to the palace a few times, but he only treated the ladies and never my father."

Chu Yunxi thought about it, "It's still not right, Your Majesty. After Dr. Lu withdrew from the Langya Army, he has been in the Dingbei Palace. Since Your Majesty said that he is very famous, how could Your Majesty not know him? If Your Majesty knew the relationship between Dr. Lu and Your Majesty, but still went to find him specifically, and did not give a false name, did he really want to act quietly?"

Xiao Mubei was stumped by Chu Yunxi's question. Yes, if his father really wanted to do things secretly, he only needed to change his name. Why did he bother to report his real name? You know, since he became the emperor, almost no one mentioned his name. The only people who knew about it, except for the emperor, were his sons. Even the ladies in the palace might not all know his name. Did he do this on purpose to let himself know about this?

"Yunxi, I think that Father's desire to find Divine Doctor Lu is fake, and his desire to find you and me is real."

Chu Yunxi also vaguely guessed it. She said with a bitter face, "It's no use looking for me. I can't treat it. Besides, if you want to find us, you can just summon us to the palace. Why go through so much trouble?"

"This matter cannot be announced. Once he announces it, there will be a lot of rumors. As the emperor, he must consider everything carefully. And no matter whether you can cure it or not, you have already seen Doctor Lu today. Father will definitely send someone to keep an eye on Ruyun Tower. If you don't make any move, father will definitely think of other ways to get you into the palace to see him. If we go to the palace to see him, it means that both of us know about this matter. You are the one who cures the disease, and I am being tested by father. This may be father's purpose."

Chu Yunxi sighed, "Why is it so troublesome? Isn't it better to be straightforward? Why do you have to guess so much?"

"This is also the reason why I don't like the palace." Xiao Mubei poured two cups of tea and handed one to Chu Yunxi. "There are intrigues all day long, and I can't figure out what's going on. I would rather go to the military camp and drink and eat meat with the soldiers. At least, everyone is straightforward and there won't be so many twists and turns."

Chu Yunxi agreed with this very much. She liked being a coroner and liked solving cases because, although solving cases was brain-burning, it was not like intrigue. Corpses would not lie, and neither would evidence.

"Then what should we do? When should we enter the palace?" Chu Yunxi asked reluctantly.

Xiao Mubei thought for a moment, "This is a serious matter. Father's health is a major issue. It concerns the stability of Da Sui. Now that the crown prince is imprisoned, only my sixth brother and I are left among his sons. Unfortunately, neither of us has any interest in the throne. If father does not arrange a successor as soon as possible, if the news leaks out and is known by spies from other countries in the capital, or is heard by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid Da Sui will be in danger."

Chu Yunxi naturally understood the pros and cons of this. She stood up and said, "Let's go. Let's go into the palace now. I'll go and give Father a thorough examination to see what condition his health is in now."

The two of them left as soon as they said they would. When they arrived at the palace, Xiao Mubei asked someone to make an announcement, still asking for a meeting on the pretext of reporting Zhao Yuzhi's case. He had been to the palace almost every day in the past two days to report on the case, so naturally no one suspected anything.

Emperor Sui Ming met the two of them in the imperial study. Chu Yunxi was shocked when they met. After not seeing each other for many days, Emperor Sui Ming had aged a lot and his eye sockets were sunken. Although he looked energetic, Chu Yunxi still vaguely saw signs of the afterlife in him and was afraid that his health was worse than she thought.

Emperor Sui Ming dismissed all the attendants and said with a smile, "It has been a long time since the concubine of Prince Dingbei came to the palace. What important matter has brought you to the palace to see me today?"

The emperor is still beating around in circles at this time.

Chu Yunxi knelt down and kowtowed, "I came here today because I have something to report to you, Father. Recently, someone in the capital took a tonic medicine. After taking it, it seemed to boost their spirits, but in fact, it was draining their bodies. I think this medicine is really harmful to people. I want Your Majesty to issue an order to strictly prohibit the circulation of this medicine throughout the country. For those who have taken it, I can formulate a corresponding withdrawal plan based on the length of time they have taken it. Although it cannot restore them to their original state, it can also strengthen their bodies. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Is this true?" Emperor Sui Ming said calmly, "It must be banned. Such harmful things must not be allowed to harm the people of Dasui. Concubine Dingbei, you can go ahead and do it. I will definitely support you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. There is one more thing. I haven't seen you for a long time. I am really worried about your health. I wonder if you would like me to take your pulse and do a checkup? If you are fine, I will be relieved."

"Okay." Emperor Sui Ming agreed without hesitation. Chu Yunxi asked him to lie down on the couch, and he went forward to start the examination.
