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

After crossing the Luoshui River, it was only a two-day drive to the Nandi capital, Kara City. Everyone rested for one night in Ulan Town beside the Luoshui River, preparing to rush to Kara City early the next morning.

Wulan Town has a wharf and is an important town connecting Nandi and Dasui, so it is very busy with people coming and going. In the morning, everyone had breakfast in the inn. The first floor of the inn was full of people. It was so bustling that it was comparable to the lunchtime at those big restaurants.

Everyone sat by the window. There was a lot of noise behind them. Wan Ruwei looked back, stuck out her tongue and said, "It's really lively here."

Among those present were people from Nandi and Dasui, most of whom were businessmen traveling back and forth. Since the truce between Dasui and Nandi, the economic exchanges between the two countries have gradually increased, and the people on both sides of the strait have also taken advantage of the geographical convenience to start a business of exchanging what they have.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "That's just how many people there are. You don't know that at some docks or car dealerships, the flow of people can be said to be empty. There are crowds of people when going out. There are also some beautiful places that are crowded with people at a certain time. There are much more people there than this."

What she was talking about, of course, were the bus stations, train stations, airports and various scenic spots of her time, which were always crowded during holidays and people went out not to have fun but to see people.

Wu Lingqi also listened in amazement and asked, "Is there really a place with so many people?"

"Of course there is." Chu Yunxi spoke vividly, making Wan Ruwei and Wu Lingqi listen attentively. Wen Rulan kept shaking her head beside her, while Xiao Mubei picked up food for Chu Yunxi lovingly. He knew that she was talking about things from her era, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully while picking up food.

As he was talking, a rough voice came from behind him, "Brother Du, we meet again. Did you just come from Kala City?"

His voice was so loud that it drowned out the voices of everyone else in the inn and interrupted Chu Yunxi's words. Wan Ruwei looked back in dissatisfaction and saw that the person who was speaking was a sturdy man with a dark face, and standing opposite him was a man with a fair complexion and a shrewd look, who looked like a businessman.

Wan Ruwei turned around and said, "Ignore them, Yunxi, just continue talking."

Chu Yunxi was about to continue speaking when the pale-faced man said, "Yes, Brother Cheng, are you going to Kala City? Did you know that something happened in Kala City these two days?"

Chu Yunxi saw Wu Lingqi's gaze turned away, so she swallowed what she was about to say and wanted to hear what happened in Kala City.

I only heard the rough voice lowered a little and said, "Brother Du, come and sit down. What happened in Kala City?"

They happened to sit at a table behind Chu Yunxi and the others, and their conversation was still heard clearly by Chu Yunxi and the others. The pale-faced man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the King of Qi was plotting a rebellion. Kara City has been under martial law for the past two days, and they are searching for the King of Qi's followers. No one dares to wander around the streets, for fear of being arrested for no reason and charged with the crime of being a member of the King of Qi's rebellion. You won't even have anywhere to cry out for justice."

It was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone instantly turned their eyes to Wu Lingqi. He opened his mouth slightly, and was completely stunned. No one heard what was said over there. They only heard Wu Lingqi muttering, "No, impossible, impossible."

Chu Yunxi remembered that when she first came to Nandi, she heard the boatman say that in Nandi, the person who opposed the emperor the most was the King of Qi, Wu Lingqi's father, Wu Beichen. This was almost known to everyone, because at that time, more than half of the people in the court supported the King of Qi to succeed to the throne. So in Nandi, everyone thought that the King of Qi must hate the young emperor Wu Zixu. Therefore, it was natural for the King of Qi to rebel. Everyone felt that it was only a matter of time.

However, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei had dealt with King Qi Wu Beichen before. Chu Yunxi felt that Wu Beichen was not coveting the throne of the emperor and plotting secretly as the rumors said. He had already passed the throne of the crown prince to Wu Lingqi, and now Wu Zixu was already grown up, there was no reason not to seize the throne when Wu Zixu was young, but to wait until he was an adult and capable. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei had obviously thought of this scene, so he put his hand on Wu Lingqi's fist and said in a deep voice, "Hold steady first. We don't know what the situation is yet. Don't panic."

Wu Lingqi's eyes were red. He looked up at Xiao Mubei, then looked around. Everyone gave him encouraging looks. His heart slowly calmed down and he said, "That's right. It's not clear what the situation is now. Father will definitely not rebel, otherwise he would not pass the throne of the crown prince to me. There must be something going on."

Wen Rulan looked around. Fortunately, the people at the table next to them were chatting happily and no one noticed the abnormality at their table. So she said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's eat first and then go back to the room to discuss it."

Everyone stopped talking and focused on eating. However, Wu Lingqi no longer had an appetite and said he was full after just two bites. Everyone ate in a hurry and went back to their rooms upstairs.

Wu Lingqi had calmed down. He said, "When I left Kala City, nothing happened. Now, in just two months, such a big thing has happened. I know my father. He has never coveted the throne. If he really wanted to be the emperor, Your Majesty would not have been able to ascend the throne back then."

Chu Yunxi said, "So, we need to first understand what happened in Kala City in the past two months, and why the King of Qi was suddenly arrested and charged with treason. Ling Qi, you can't show up now. As long as you show up in Kala City, you will definitely be arrested, and then you will be in trouble."

Xiao Mubei said: "Yunxi is right. We must first stabilize our position and sneak into the city to investigate and see who is behind this. Only by finding the person behind the scenes can we clear Prince Qi's name."

Wu Lingqi nodded, "I will listen to the prince and princess, but if I don't go into the city, I'm afraid you will have a lot of inconvenience in your actions."

"Of course you have to go into the city. Otherwise, we are unfamiliar with the place and we don't know where to start even if we want to help you. From now on, you should wear this." Chu Yunxi took out a few human skin masks and said, "Let your guards wear them as well. This way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong. We will hurry to Kala City today."

"Okay." Wu Lingqi took the human skin mask and put it on. Chu Yunxi helped him adjust it, and soon, he turned into an ordinary-looking young man.
