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

After arranging everything, Xiao Mubei and the other two drove the carriage out of the city without delay. While the carriage was moving, Chu Yunxi took out the character relationship diagram drawn by the Queen.

There are five princes and two princesses in Shusha Kingdom. Hasna is the fifth. She has four older brothers and a younger brother and a younger sister. The youngest prince is not yet an adult and can basically be ruled out as a suspect this time. The youngest princess has not yet reached the age of marriage. The only suspects are the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince of Shusha Kingdom.

The eldest prince Asek is about thirty years old. He has been helping Emperor Shusha to handle government affairs over the years. He is diligent, fair and strict, treats the people kindly and treats officials equally. Although he has not been named the crown prince, he has basically been tacitly accepted by all court officials that he is the next Emperor Shusha. Now that the old emperor is in poor health, the other princes are beginning to get restless, unwilling to give up the throne.

The characters of several princes are also marked on Hasna's picture. The second prince Uruksu is shrewd and low-key in his daily life, but he has a wide network of contacts in the court. He has been quietly working on it for many years to create an image of a simple and honest man.

The third prince, Kuo Yizha, had ambition written all over his face. He repeatedly asked the emperor to employ him, but he was incompetent and had many advisers under his command, so he basically listened to their opinions on everything he did.

The fourth prince, Asehan, is a man of both military and literary talents, and is recognized as a man of outstanding learning. He usually studies hard and does not show any desire for the throne, but no one knows what he is thinking in his heart, and no one has ever seen him forming a clique for personal gain.

So when Hasna handed the map to Chu Yunxi, she said that she was more suspicious of the second prince and the third prince, and asked Chu Yunxi to focus on investigating the people who were close to these two princes. Chu Yunxi agreed.

When it was getting dark, they finally saw the camp of the Shusha Kingdom.

The Shusha Kingdom set up its camp on a meadow with a water source nearby. There were many grills between the tents with fires on them. Some of them were roasting game, and waves of aroma wafted out. There were guards patrolling around, and it looked peaceful.

But the peace was only on the surface. As soon as the three approached, a guard stepped forward to stop them, "Who are you?"

Chu Zhongxi took out the token given by the Queen and said in a deep voice: "I am here to welcome the eldest prince on the orders of the Queen."

The guards knew the queen's token and immediately stepped aside after seeing it. A maid came over and the guard whispered, "The princess sent us."

The maid nodded and said, "The eldest prince has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me, the three of you."

Chu Zhongxi nodded and walked in front of Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. He was the envoy in charge of welcoming them, so naturally he should take the lead and deal with the things on the scene at the same time. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi's identities were not suitable for doing such things.

The maid led the three of them to the largest tent. Before they went in, the maid said, "The eldest prince just said he was a little tired and is resting now. However, he asked me to bring anyone over immediately if the queen sends one. Please wait a moment while I go in and make the announcement."

Chu Zhongxi said: "Miss, please."

The maid opened the curtain and walked in. Soon, she opened the curtain again and said respectfully, "Three distinguished guests, the eldest prince invites you."

The three of them walked in and saw a man with sharp eyebrows and handsome features sitting next to the bed. He was wearing a dark robe and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he had just got up from the bed.

Chu Zhongxi stepped forward and bowed, "Chu Zhongxi, the loyal and brave Marquis of Dasui, these two are the Dingbei King and the Dingbei King's concubine of Dasui, and they are also the experts in solving cases in the Dali Temple. The three of us are here under the order of the Queen to investigate the assassin."

The eldest prince Asek stood up and bowed to Xiao Mubei, "So you are the King of Dingbei. I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Xiao Mubei also returned the greeting, "I don't deserve it."

Asek ordered tea to be served and asked the three to sit down, but Chu Yunxi frowned and did not move. Asek was about to ask, but Chu Yunxi had already opened her mouth to ask, "Is the eldest prince a little sleepy recently and always feels tired and weak?"

Asek was shocked and said seriously, "That's right, how did the princess know?"

"You've been poisoned." Chu Yunxi said straight to the point, "But the poison isn't strong. It's probably because the dose hasn't reached you yet."

Asek broke out in a sweat. He calmed himself down and asked, "Princess, are you sure? You didn't feel my pulse or ask any questions. How can you be so sure that this prince has been poisoned?"

Chu Yunxi pointed to her nose and said, "This is the criterion. I can smell the smell of poison."

Asek was skeptical. Could it be so magical?

Xiao Mubei said at this time: "What my princess said is true. She is very sensitive to the smell of poison. My legs were once paralyzed due to poisoning. Thanks to my princess who smelled the poison and found the antidote, I was able to recover."

Asek opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is it so powerful? Then may I ask, Princess, what kind of poison is this prince's?"

Chu Yunxi sat down slowly and said, "It's a chronic poison. The eldest prince has been poisoned for more than one or two days. It's been at least two months. It's just that the other party may be afraid that you will find out, so the amount released each time is very small. But over time, it will eventually reach a fatal level."

Asek's expression changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Princess, are you saying that there is a traitor among my close associates?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "But this person should not be in the same group as the assassin from the previous two days."

"Why do you say that?" Asek didn't understand why Chu Yunxi said that.

Chu Yunxi explained: "The assassin came to kill the eldest prince, and he wanted to kill him immediately, but the person who poisoned you wanted to kill you slowly. In other words, he doesn't want you to die yet. These two people are contradictory, so I judge that they are not the same group of people."

Asek couldn't find any flaws, so he had to admit that Chu Yunxi's words made sense. He laughed at himself and said, "I didn't expect so many people would care about my life. So, according to your opinion, which one should we start investigating first?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Of course, detoxification is the most important thing first."

As she spoke, she reached into her bosom, took out a capsule and handed it to Asek, "Does the eldest prince trust me? If so, take this pill. If not, we can leave now."

Asek had never seen a capsule before. He looked at it in confusion and asked, "Is this medicine? How do I take it?"

“Just swallow it with water. Take it for half a month and the poison in your body will be removed.” Chu Yunxi kept her hands raised in front of Asek.

Asek was a little hesitant. After all, this was the first time he met the three people in front of him. It was not his style to trust others so easily. However, there was a voice in his heart shouting, believe her!
