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

He hurried to the Dali Temple and met the constable who followed the young couple. Xiao Mubei had arranged three constables to follow them. One of them had returned, and the other two were still looking for their traces nearby.

As soon as he saw Xiao Mubei, the constable stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we have been following the couple for the past three days and have found out their identities. The man is a scholar who is preparing for an exam. His name is Shan Ruoheng. He and his wife Yu Shanhu got married last June. Yu Shanhu is now more than eight months pregnant. They went to Guanyin Temple to fulfill their vows a few days ago. After returning, they stayed at home normally, one reading and the other waiting for the birth of the baby. They have hardly gone out and have not seen many people."

"Then when did they disappear?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"It was this morning. When I woke up, I heard Yu Shanhu say that she wanted to go see if the clothes for the baby were ready, so Shan Ruoheng helped her out the door. We followed them to the clothing store and watched them go in. We stood guard outside the door. People kept coming in and out of the clothing store. After a long time, they still hadn't come out. We thought something was wrong, so we rushed in, only to find that the two people were gone. We asked the shopkeeper, and he said that their clothes were ready and asked them to wait in the back hall. The shopkeeper went to get the clothes. The back hall was connected to the back door of the store. When the shopkeeper came back, they were gone. I looked and saw that the baby clothes that the shopkeeper had taken were still in the back hall. The shopkeeper didn't seem to be lying. We chased them out the back door, but didn't see them. We turned back to the Shan family, but they didn't go back either. I hurried back to report that we are still looking for the other two."

"You mean, they left through the back door on their own without even taking their clothes?" Chu Yunxi felt that there was something fishy about this.

The constable nodded and said self-reproachfully, "It's all my fault for being careless. I didn't expect them to leave through the back door. Logically, they shouldn't have known we were following them, so they didn't do this to get rid of us."

Xiao Mubei said: "We monitor them because we are afraid that something bad will happen to them. In the final analysis, we are protecting them and preventing them from being harmed again. They don't know about this matter either. Could it be that you revealed your whereabouts at some point, causing them to misunderstand and think that you are bad guys?"

The constable was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly, "That shouldn't be the case. The three of us were very careful and were not seen by them."

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "I don't think you revealed any clues. This matter is probably related to the murderer. Your Majesty, I have a feeling that the couple may have gone to Longyu Mountain again."

"What?" Xiao Mubei couldn't sit still any longer, "Then I'll send someone to intercept him immediately."

"We also need to send people to guard Shan Ruoheng's home. Maybe it's just a false alarm, but we have to be on guard against Longyu Mountain. Fortunately, we have people there. If they are really fooled by the murderer, we should be able to stop them. Your Majesty, let's go to Longyu Mountain right now. Even if it's an empty trip, we can rest assured. But if we really run into the murderer, this may be the only chance to catch him."

After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, Xiao Mubei immediately made arrangements and took Baiyu, Heimu and Zi Han with him to Longyu Mountain.

Hei Mu drove the horse very fast. Shan Ruoheng and his wife had been missing for nearly two hours. If they were really deceived and taken to Longyu Mountain, they would almost arrive there by now. Chu Yunxi could only pray that the constables on the mountain would be more alert, notice anything wrong in time, and intercept them.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage was stopped by someone. Chu Yunxi looked out and saw that the person who stopped the carriage was the constable who was previously assigned to Longyu Mountain. She was startled and asked hurriedly, "Is there anyone going up the mountain?"

When the constable saw that it was Chu Yunxi, he hurriedly reported: "Princess, a man named Ah Cheng found me just now and said that he saw the monk you were looking for on the mountain."

It seems that her premonition was right. The murderer was going to act today. Chu Yunxi had no time to think about why the murderer took three days to act. She also didn't know when Shan Ruoheng and his wife had contact with the murderer. She only knew that if she didn't go up, the couple might become the new ghosts under the cliff.

"Hurry up and go up the mountain." Chu Yunxi exclaimed. Hei Mu raised his whip high, and the constable turned his horse around and followed him up the mountain.

When they reached the fork, Hei Mu drove the carriage directly to the direction leading to the mountain ridge. Not long after they went, they saw two people lying beside the mountain road. Hei Mu stopped the carriage and Bai Yu immediately jumped down. After seeing them, he shouted, "Princess, come and save them. They are from the Dali Temple."

Chu Yunxi immediately jumped off the carriage, and Xiao Mubei also jumped off. After taking a look at the traces of fighting, he said anxiously, "Bai Yu, you and the princess stay here to treat them. Hei Mu Zi Han, follow me up the mountain immediately."

Hei Mu Zi Han responded, and the three of them stopped driving the carriage and used their lightness skills to chase after them.

Chu Yunxi leaned over to check the injuries of the two constables on the ground and found that they were barely breathing. She unbuttoned their clothes and was shocked to find that both of them had a prominent palm print on their chest, one in the center and one in the chest.

The constable who was hit in the chest had broken ribs, but he still had a trace of consciousness, and said intermittently: "Princess...Princess, we didn't...we didn't stop that...monk."

"I know that the prince has already caught up with them. Don't worry, relax. I'll heal your wounds." Chu Yunxi felt their pulses and frowned. These two people had internal injuries and damaged their heart meridians. They were in great trouble. She asked Bai Yu, "Can you give them some Qi?"

Chu Yunxi had never figured out how martial artists practiced their true Qi, but she knew it was very effective in treating internal injuries. Now that the two men's lives were hanging by a thread, it might be too late to save them with medical means. She could only use unconventional means first, and let Bai Yu use his true Qi to protect their heart meridians, and then Chu Yunxi would seek a way to treat them.

Bai Yu hurriedly held the hands of the two people, one in each hand, closed his eyes and transmitted his true energy to the two people. Chu Yunxi kept feeling the pulse of the two people, and felt that the pulses of the two people were indeed slowly getting stronger. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cardiotonic needle and injected one into each of them, then asked Bai Yu to put them on the carriage. Both of them were now unconscious. Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu to pick up some branches, align and fix the ribs of the person in the palm of his chest, and then gave them nutritious and anti-inflammatory liquids. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The sun was setting and it was getting dark in the woods. Chu Yunxi stood beside the carriage, looking anxiously in the direction of the ridge, but she didn't see anyone coming down the mountain.
