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

Fortunately, the weather today is very good. It is already April, but it is not freezing cold anymore. It is bright and sunny.

Xiao Mubei took them to a valley located in the southern suburbs of the capital. There was a huge basin with a very large artificial lake in it. The water in the lake was clear and there were all kinds of flowers planted around it. Every spring, the place was full of colorful flowers and was very beautiful. It was the first choice for the ladies of the capital to go on an outing in spring.

When Chu Yunxi and the others arrived, there were already quite a few people here. As soon as Chu Yunxi got off the carriage, she was attracted by the scenery here. She took a deep breath of the fresh air of nature. The breeze was faintly filled with the sweet scent of flowers, which made her feel very comfortable.

"It's really beautiful here." Wan Ruwei stood beside Chu Yunxi. She sighed sincerely, holding Chu Yunxi's arm, looking excited, "I have never seen such a beautiful place."

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Let my senior brother take you out to play more often in the future."

Wan Ruwei pouted her red lips. "Since coming to the capital, he has stayed in Ruyun Building every day and never went anywhere. I am the same. If you hadn't called us out today, I would still be miserable receiving guests."

Chu Yunxi covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "My senior brother is a workaholic. No matter what job he does, he will dive into it headfirst. He doesn't know how to rest. You have to ask him for a vacation."

"Workaholic, vacation," Wan Ruwei thought the term was quite new. "Okay, next time I ask him for a vacation, I will not only take my own, but also let him take a vacation with me, so that we can go out and play."

"Where are you guys at now? Are you living together?" Chu Yunxi asked Wan Ruwei in a low voice, her gossipy soul burning.

Wan Ruwei blushed immediately. She patted Chu Yunxi gently and said shyly, "How can you ask so directly?"

Chu Yunxi glanced at the two men who were helping Uncle Li and Butler Ling set up the barbecue grill not far away, and whispered, "What's the big deal? They are not outsiders. From what I see, you must have lived together."

"How do you know?" Wan Ruwei asked her back.

"It's simple. From the way you two interact, your conversations, and the look in your eyes, I can tell that the intimacy between you two and the tone of your conversations cannot be faked. In fact, my senior is better at observation and reasoning than I am. It's a pity that he only wants to make soup for someone now."

Wan Ruwei was listening carefully, but when she heard Chu Yunxi teasing her again at the end, she couldn't help but say shyly, "He is not cooking for me, he is obviously cooking for money."

Chu Yunxi laughed loudly. It seemed that her senior brother’s money-loving nature could no longer be hidden. Even Wan Ruwei knew about it.

Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan came over. Wen Rulan asked curiously, "What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily."

"Nothing." Wan Ruwei came over and took Wen Rulan's hand, "Let's go, let's go over there and take a look, and let the prince and princess go and take a look too."

Chu Yunxi smiled as she watched them walk away hand in hand. She felt her palms warm up, and her small hands fell into the big palms. Xiao Mubei said softly, "Let's go for a walk too."

"Okay." Chu Yunxi felt warm in her heart and looked up at Xiao Mubei with a bright smile.

The two of them also walked hand in hand by the lake. The scenery was picturesque, and the people around them were handsome. Chu Yunxi felt that countless pairs of eyes were on them. Many ladies covered their mouths with fans and secretly talked about them. Chu Yunxi heard someone say, "Who is that young man? Why is he so handsome?"

"You don't even know the famous King Dingbei?"

"Is this the Prince of Dingbei? The woman next to him is the Prince of Dingbei's concubine, right? I heard she's a coroner?"

"That's right. How could the dignified King Dingbei marry a coroner? Fortunately, she is just a concubine. The King Dingbei's principal wife in the future will definitely be a daughter of a noble family."

"I think so too. This woman is just favored temporarily. The King of Dingbei must be looking for something new."

"I never thought that a coroner would be so resourceful and be able to seduce the prince."

Although he spoke secretly with his mouth covered by a fan, Chu Yunxi could hear it, and Xiao Mubei could hear it even more clearly.

Chu Yunxi smiled faintly, she didn't care. She would never be affected by rumors anyway. These women from wealthy families grew up in the intrigues and deceptions in the inner and backyards, so it was not surprising that they had such thoughts.

But Xiao Mubei was about to explode with anger. He didn't care at all what others said about him, but he couldn't care less about what others said about Chu Yunxi.

He suddenly tightened his grip on Chu Yunxi's hand, turned around and said to the ladies who were talking excitedly, "I am the eighth prince Xiao Mubei, the king of Dingbei appointed by the emperor himself. This is my princess, Chu Yunxi. The imperial decree has been issued. Chu Yunxi is my principal wife, and also the chief judge appointed by the emperor himself, and also the coroner of the Dali Temple. From now on, I will only have this one principal wife, and will never marry a concubine. In a month, I will have the ceremony of enthroning my princess. If you want to attend, I welcome you. But if I hear anyone say a bad word about my princess again, don't blame me for being rude."

The women looked embarrassed and left. Chu Yunxi held Xiao Mubei's hand and said, "Why bother with them? I don't care about these."

"But I care," Xiao Mubei said with some anger left. "I don't want to hear anyone speak ill of you. You are my princess, and no one can look down on you."

Chu Yunxi felt sweet in her heart, she smiled and said: "Our prince is so majestic, I like him so much."

Xiao Mubei's anger was suppressed by her words, and he couldn't help laughing. Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei were also attracted by the movement here and walked over. Wan Ruwei said: "These people are really full and have nothing to do. They can't even take care of themselves, but they still care about others."

Wen Rulan said: "Other people have their mouths on them, they can say whatever they want, we are not money, it is impossible to please everyone, just ignore them."

It was just a small episode, but everyone soon forgot about it. Uncle Li and Butler Ling were almost done roasting the lamb. Chu Yunxi and Wan Ruwei went to distribute the tableware with a giggle. The aroma of the roasted lamb wafted far away, and many tourists came over with envious looks.

A few people were eating happily when suddenly there was a commotion not far away and someone shouted, "Someone is drowning."

Chu Yunxi and the others were startled. They quickly put down the roasted whole lamb and followed the crowd to the lake. Sure enough, they saw a woman struggling in the lake. It was obvious that she could not swim. Her body kept sinking. Seeing that no one would save her, she was about to drown. A man by the lake was running around in a panic, shouting, "Which kind-hearted person can swim? Please save my wife."
