That night, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi slept for less than two hours. At dawn, they were already standing at the door of the eldest prince's tent asking for an audience.

Asek tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep. He just dozed off for a while in the early morning. Just as he fell asleep, Alia came to report that the prince and princess had arrived. He woke up with a start, got up quickly to wash, and let Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi in.

As soon as Chu Yunxi entered the room, she did not ask Asek to dismiss the people around her. She said directly in front of Alia and the other two maids: "Grand Prince, actually, when I was examining the bodies last night, I made a major discovery. I came here today to discuss with you about checking the bodies of all the members of the delegation!"

"Physical examination?" Asek was a little confused. "Didn't we have it done last night?"

"That was called a body search last night," Chu Yunxi corrected. "What I mean by body inspection today is taking off clothes and checking the marks on the body. Because the two assassins yesterday had special marks on their bodies, I am sure that their accomplices also have the same type of marks."

"Oh? What mark?" Asek became interested.

Chu Yunxi glanced at everyone in the room calmly and said, "Musical instruments, instruments that are the same as their weapons."

"Really?" Asek was very excited. If this was true, it would be much easier to catch the assassin lurking in the delegation.

"It's absolutely true," Xiao Mubei replied, "Please ask the eldest prince to gather everyone together. We will divide them into two tents, separate the men and women, and check them one by one."

"Okay, come here, gather everyone for a physical examination immediately." Asek gave the order impatiently. This killing order had made him unable to sleep or eat for three days. He was eager to find the person and pull out the person behind the scenes immediately, so that he would have no worries anymore.

After the maids had gone out to pass on the message, Chu Yunxi lowered her voice and said, "Prince, the traitor and the hidden assassin are not the same person. After finding the assassin, we still have to find out who poisoned you. The traitor probably still thinks you don't know you were poisoned, so he will definitely continue to poison you. Remember to let me see everything you eat today. Let's first determine where the poison is, and then it will be easy to find the poisoner."

Asek nodded. He already knew yesterday that Chu Yunxi could smell the scent of poison. After taking an antidote yesterday, his drowsiness had indeed improved a lot and he felt more energetic. So at this moment, he believed Chu Yunxi's words without a doubt.

"Thank you, Princess. No wonder the princess sent you here. You are really amazing." Asek praised her generously.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's all for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The eldest prince has taken the overall situation into consideration and considered Dasui and Shusha. Yunxi admires the eldest prince's broad mind."

Asek was even more impressed with Chu Yunxi, and gave Xiao Mubei a thumbs up and said, "You married a good princess."

Xiao Mubei was very proud. He reached out and held Chu Yunxi's hand, whispering, "Meeting her is the luck of my life."

Chu Yunxi patted Xiao Mubei gently and blushed for a rare moment. Asek laughed out loud. The problem was solved and he felt much more relaxed at the moment.

After a while, a maid came to report that everyone had gathered outside and asked the eldest prince to take charge of the situation.

Asek immediately stood up and walked out, followed by Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. Chu Zhongxi also came over at this time, and when he saw Chu Yunxi, he also came over and stood with them.

Everyone below had just gotten up and were all confused. They didn't know why the eldest prince had called everyone here so early in the morning.

Asek stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "This prince has received an important clue. The assassins who sneaked into the delegation all have a special mark on their bodies. Now it is time for you to prove your innocence. All men, line up outside the tent on the right, and women, line up outside the tent on the left. The King of Dingbei and the Queen of Dasui will check. As long as there is no mark on your body, it can prove that you are innocent. Everyone, act now."

These past few days, everyone has been in a lot of trouble because of the assassin incident, and they all hope to catch the remaining assassins as soon as possible so that they can quickly enter the capital of Dasui and go to the embassy to have a good night's sleep.

So everyone very consciously followed Asek's arrangements and lined up in front of the two tents on the left and right.

Because there were more men, Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi went to the tent on the right to check, while Chu Yunxi went to the tent on the left to check the women.

There were about a hundred people in the delegation, including about seventy men. In addition to officials, most of them were guards and servants, while most of the women were maids.

The physical examination was proceeding in an orderly manner when there was a sudden commotion outside. Someone screamed, and then there was the sound of fighting. Chu Yunxi turned a deaf ear and continued to do her work.

The sound of fighting lasted for a while and then ended. Xiao Mubei's voice could be faintly heard outside, but it was unclear what he said. Chu Yunxi guessed that an assassin from the Xianle Sect should have been captured.

After checking more than thirty people, no one came in again. Chu Yunxi walked out of the tent and saw a man dressed as a guard kneeling on the open space in front of her. Baiyu Heimu was standing beside him. The man's shirt had been taken off at this moment, and it could be clearly seen that there was a tattoo of an erhu on his back. The guards also found an erhu in his tent.

A guard who lived with him said with lingering fear: "He usually likes to play the erhu, and it sounds pretty good. I thought it was just his hobby, but I didn't expect it to be a murderous weapon."

It turned out that there was a mechanism on the bow of this man's erhu. When the mechanism was pressed, the dagger popped out and immediately turned into a weapon.

The man was now ashen-faced, kneeling there. Asek whipped him on the back with a whip and asked, "Who sent you here?"

The man's body trembled violently, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Chu Yunxi stepped forward and asked Asek, "Prince, I didn't see Alia come for the body check. Has the prince seen her?"

"Alia?" The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, looked around, and said, "I haven't seen her for a while. I thought she went to your place for a physical examination."

Chu Yunxi shook her head, "No."

"Could it be that she..." Asek was a little bit unbelievable.

Chu Yunxi said mercilessly: "I'm afraid she was afraid of being checked, so she sneaked away, but don't worry, Your Highness, if she really ran away out of guilt, she will be sent back soon."

The Purple Guards have put the entire area around the delegation under surveillance, so there is no way Alia can escape.
