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

"It seems that we can't get any information here. Why don't we find a teahouse to sit down and maybe we can find out something." Wan Ruwei suggested.

Chu Yunxi thought about it and decided that this was a good idea, so the three of them found a teahouse, sat down, and ordered a pot of scented tea to drink slowly.

There was a storyteller in the teahouse telling a story with great emotion, and the audience cheered. Chu Yunxi listened for a while. He was telling the traditional Legend of the White Snake, which did not have anything new to say, so she did not want to listen any more. She was just listening around to see if she could hear anything about the Prince of Qi's Mansion, when a group of armored soldiers suddenly broke in through the door.

The leader came in and shouted, "Everyone sit still, this is a routine inspection."

Chu Yunxi sat there without moving, and the others were too frightened to move. The soldiers each took a portrait and looked at them one by one, even the women were examined carefully. A soldier stopped in front of the three and examined them carefully for a while before leaving. Chu Yunxi took a look at the portrait and saw that the person in it was very familiar. She thought about it carefully and suddenly it dawned on her that the person in the portrait was Princess Zhao of Qi.

The last time she came to Nandi, Chu Yunxi had seen Zhao before, so she naturally recognized her portrait. She quickly glanced at the portraits in other people's hands and saw that there were both men and women, and the ones in everyone's hands were different.

Could it be that Zhao was not arrested but escaped?

While he was thinking, the soldiers had already checked and found that there was no one in the portrait, so they withdrew. The storytelling naturally stopped as well. As soon as the soldiers left, the whispering in the teahouse began.

"I'm here to investigate the remnants of King Qi again. I investigate from morning till night every day, and I don't know how many people have not been caught."

"I heard that all the officials who were close to the King of Qi were arrested. It seems that His Majesty is determined to deal with the King of Qi's party this time."

"Didn't the prince of Qi go on a diplomatic mission to Dasui? Why are you targeting the Qi Palace at this time?"

"I heard that the King of Qi dotes on the Crown Prince too much and deliberately chose this time to rebel. If successful, the Crown Prince will become the Prince or even the Crown Prince directly when he returns. If unsuccessful, this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Prince, and he can be saved and leave a descendant for the King of Qi's lineage."

"Didn't they say that the eldest son of the King of Qi sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice and personally handed over the evidence of his father's rebellion, which led to the failure of the King of Qi's plan?"

"Hush, stop talking. Don't say that now. Be careful or you'll be labeled a traitor. Your whole family will be finished."

After a few brief discussions, the storyteller regrouped and continued with his Legend of the White Snake. The whispers in the audience gradually died down, and everyone tacitly stopped the discussion and turned their attention to the storyteller again.

Chu Yunxi knew that she could not get any information here, so she drank the tea in front of her, left the teahouse with Wan Ruwei and Zi Han, and returned to the inn.

Xiao Mubei and Wu Lingqi have returned. Wu Lingqi looks frustrated. It is obvious that this trip was not smooth. However, this was also within Chu Yunxi's expectations. She asked, "But Lord Luo was also arrested?"

Xiao Mubei asked curiously: "How do you know?"

Chu Yunxi sat down, fanning herself with a round fan, and said, "Just now when we went out, we happened to encounter soldiers searching. Someone said that all the ministers who were close to Prince Qi were arrested. I remembered Ling Qi said that Lord Luo had been on good terms with Prince Qi for many years, so how could he be safe and sound? Sure enough, he was also arrested."

Wu Lingqi clenched his fists tightly and said in hatred, "Your Majesty, can't you see that this is a frame-up? Are you really going to wrongly accuse my Qi Palace and so many loyal ministers?"

Wen Rulan said, "Not only was Lord Luo captured, but there was also an ambush in his mansion. This was probably to prevent the prince from looking for Lord Luo after he returned. Fortunately, we discovered it in advance and did not become a turtle in a jar. Now this road is not feasible. Who should we find out the situation next?"

Chu Yunxi said: "Maybe there is someone who can tell us what happened."

Several people looked at her, and Chu Yunxi said slowly: "Princess Qi, Zhao."

Wu Lingqi stood up suddenly, "What did you say? My mother?"

Chu Yunxi nodded. "When those people were searching just now, I saw them looking for the princess's portrait everywhere. I think the princess must have escaped and is hiding somewhere. As long as we find her, we can know what happened. Also, I heard that it was Wu Jiaqi who handed over the evidence of Qi Wang's rebellion. He is Qi Wang's son, so his words are naturally important. Lingqi, did your father let outsiders know what Wu Jiaqi had done?"

Wu Lingqi shook his head. "Father said that family disgrace should not be made public. He issued a death order, telling everyone not to spread the news of what my eldest brother did. He told everyone that my eldest brother was seriously ill and had to stay in bed to recover, so he couldn't leave the house."

"That's right," Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, "others don't know what Wu Jiaqi did, so they naturally believe his words. They will only think that he was locked up for so long because he refused to go along with his father. Now that he has escaped, he has put justice above his own family. The world will only praise his righteous act and save Nan Di from a disaster."

"Shameless!" Wu Lingqi slammed his fist on the table, his body shaking with anger.

Chu Yunxi said: "So the most urgent thing now is to find Princess Qi as soon as possible. It will be troublesome if Wu Jiaqi finds her first. Lingqi, think carefully, where is your mother hiding?"

Wu Lingqi frowned and thought, "My eldest brother knows all the secret passages and dark rooms in the mansion, so mother can't hide in the mansion. She can only hide outside the mansion. But Kala City is so big, where can she hide?"

Chu Yunxi reminded him, "Is there any place that you and your mother know but your eldest brother doesn't know?"

"My mother and I know, but my eldest brother doesn't..." Wu Lingqi thought hard.

The entire Kala City is now heavily guarded. If the princess has not been caught, she must still be in the city and cannot leave. Moreover, if she hides, she must not let Wu Lingqi find her, otherwise how can she break the situation? Therefore, Chu Yunxi felt that this place must be a place that Wu Jiaqi did not know, but Wu Lingqi knew, but he just couldn't remember it for the time being.

Sure enough, after about an incense stick of time, Wu Lingqi's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up abruptly, "I know where my mother is hiding."

Hope rose in everyone's hearts, and Xiao Mubei said, "There is no time to lose, let's go find the princess now."

Chu Yunxi looked out the window. It was pitch black. It was almost midnight. There were not many people on the street. It was a good time to move. So she said, "Be careful. Go quickly and come back quickly."
