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

"You mean, someone gave this note to He Yunsen, and after He Yunsen read it, he swallowed it?" Xiao Mubei felt a little disgusted when he thought that this note was taken out from He Yunsen's stomach.

Chu Yunxi didn't feel anything. She looked at the note and said, "That's right, but it's a pity that the note has been corroded by stomach acid and I can't see what's written on it anymore."

Xiao Mubei said: "But at least it can be proved that someone did send a note to He Yunsen, which forced He Yunsen to commit suicide. Li Jinghong is still investigating the people who have been to Taihetang Pharmacy in the past two days to see if there will be any clues."

Chu Yunxi picked up the ring in Xiao Mubei's hand and said, "I'm afraid this person is not that easy to find. We just caught the killer leader, and they immediately silenced He Yunsen. I'm afraid they will find ways to silence the killer next."

Xiao Mubei snorted coldly, "Not everyone can enter the prison of my Dali Temple if they want to."

Chu Yunxi looked outside. It was already dawn. The darkest moment before dawn had passed.

"Your Highness, is this ring a token of King Jingyuan's loyalty?" Chu Yunxi asked, looking at the small word "Jing" inside the ring.

Xiao Mubei nodded, "That's right, only the most capable people around the third brother have this ring. In order to facilitate their work, the people under the third brother will obey the arrangements when they see the ring."

"I see," No wonder Bai Yu's face changed when he saw the ring. He should recognize it. Chu Yunxi played with the ring in her hand for a while. "Since this killer is a capable person around King Jingyuan, it stands to reason that he only needs to talk about destroying the Gao family. Why does he have to do it himself?"

Chu Yunxi was a little puzzled. If it weren't for the ring, these people would not have been exposed. Since this person was able to rise to a high position beside King Jingyuan, he should not be so careless.

"Your Majesty, I want to meet that killer today. I have some questions that I want to ask him. Is that ok?"

"Okay, I'll go with you."

-

Jingyuan Palace.

"Bang!" A cup fell heavily to the ground and broke into pieces immediately. The maids and servants were so scared that they knelt on the ground.

"You are all a bunch of idiots, get out of here."

On the main seat, a man with a face full of hostility was furious. Upon closer inspection, the man was somewhat similar to Xiao Mubei in his eyebrows and eyes. He could be called handsome, but there was too much cruelty on his face and less gentleness and warmth, which was very different from Xiao Mubei.

The maids and servants retreated tremblingly, and a scholar in his early forties walked in, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

When Jingyuan King Xiao Zirui saw the scholar, he restrained his anger and said, "Mo Chen, you are here, sit down, have you finished everything?"

The scholar's name was Su Mochen, and he was the most trusted counselor under King Jingyuan. At this moment, he sat down below Xiao Zirui and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been handled. Even if Xiao Mubei knew that it was Your Majesty who did it, he would not be able to find evidence."

Xiao Zirui said bitterly, "That idiot Yue Haoran insisted on destroying the Gao family at this time, and even said he would do a full show. Not only did he get himself involved, he also exposed me. He deserves to die."

Su Mochen said, "Your Highness, please be patient. Yue Haoran died, so what? He didn't know much anyway. But there is something very strange. The King of Dingbei was clearly poisoned and could not walk well. We seriously injured him last time. Logically, he should have died. Why is he not only healed now, but also cured of the poison?"

"It must be that the poison prepared by He Yunsen is not good. The last time Haoran asked him, didn't he say that the antidote was still there?"

"That's right. If the antidote was not stolen, could it be that there is someone around Xiao Mubei who has superb medical and poison skills that we don't know about?" Su Mochen pondered.

Xiao Zirui also thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that last time my eighth brother entered the palace, he asked father to marry Chu Yunxi, the only remaining daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. In order to protect the people of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, he really tried his best and even dared to disobey father."

"She's just a woman. What kind of waves can she stir up? I've heard of Chu Yunxi before. She's just a girl in the boudoir who knows a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. There's nothing to be afraid of." Su Mochen said disdainfully.

"I am not worried about a woman. Even if she knows that I was the one who planned to kill her father and brother, she still wants to rely on Xiao Mubei to help her. If Xiao Mubei is smart, he should know that he has no foundation in the court and is not my opponent at all. If it weren't for the fact that my father valued him because he felt guilty towards Concubine Xian, he would not even be qualified for me to bother dealing with him."

Xiao Zirui had a look of disdain on his face. Originally, he had never considered Xiao Mubei an obstacle. Firstly, he had left the palace since he was a child and lived far away at the frontier. Secondly, he had no foundation in the court. If he had not overheard the conversation between his father and the emperor emeritus last time and knew that the emperor emeritus wanted to persuade his father to depose the crown prince and replace him with the King of Dingbei, he would not have thought of dealing with this eighth brother who was thousands of miles away.

The crown prince can be deposed, but after deposing him, no one else can be given a chance. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have been preparing wedding dresses for others for so long?

But now, unexpectedly, Xiao Mubei not only did not die on the battlefield as he wished, but came back and asked for the position of Dali Temple Minister. Although it is not a big deal, it is still a trouble.

If the retired emperor brings up this matter again someday, and his father agrees out of weakness, he will have to go through even greater trouble to resolve the problem.

"It seems like I have to go meet my eighth brother who has finally come back alive." Xiao Zirui said gloomily.

-

Dali Temple Prison.

As soon as Liang Mao saw Chu Yunxi coming, he immediately greeted her warmly, "Miss Divine Doctor, you are here. Everyone has felt much better in the past two days. Everyone is looking forward to your return."

Someone nearby immediately echoed the sentiment, and there was a chorus of gratitude in the prison. Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi in surprise. He had never expected that there would be such a harmonious scene in the prison. This was a scene he had never seen in any prison.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "I've been busy these past two days. I'll come over to check your pulses when I'm free. Everyone, just take your medicines and report to the jailer when you're almost done with them."

There was a chorus of responses in the prison, and amidst the voices of gratitude, Chu Yunxi walked to the interrogation room in the prison. Yue Haoran, who was captured under the command of King Jingyuan, was tied to a rack at this moment.

His body was covered in blood and traces of flogging, his hair was disheveled, his head drooped, and he looked lifeless. Chu Yunxi knew that it was impossible to prevent torture in this era, so she simply didn't care.
