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

Prince Sheng raised his glass and said with a smile, "I have long heard that Princess Dingbei of Dasui is as capable as any man and has solved many major cases. I have always admired her and wanted to meet her. I didn't expect to actually meet her today, and she is still as beautiful as a flower. Seeing is believing."

Chu Yunxi curled her lips, raised her glass and said, "I have heard of the reputation of King Sheng of Nandi for a long time and wanted to get to know him. After meeting him today, I find that he is indeed as handsome as the rumors say. I offer a toast to King Sheng."

King Sheng laughed and raised his glass, "A toast to the princess as well."

The two drank it all in one gulp, and Wu Zixu also smiled and said, "Princess Dingbei and the Queen Mother get along very well, and she has been adopted by the Queen Mother as her adopted daughter. From now on, she will be my adopted sister. So, adopted sister, you still have to call Prince Sheng your uncle."

Chu Yunxi said obediently: "Uncle Wang."

Prince Sheng raised his hand and saluted Queen Mother Rong, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for having an adopted daughter. Unfortunately, I came here in a hurry today and didn't have time to bring any gifts."

He stood up, took out a jade pendant from his waist, walked to Chu Yunxi and said, "Fortunately, I still have a beautiful jade on me. This is warm jade from Kunlun Mountain. I usually play with it in my hands. It feels good. I will give it to the princess."

Chu Yunxi took it with a faint smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."

After King Sheng started this, the concubines in the palace naturally did not want to be left behind, and they gave Chu Yunxi all kinds of gifts, including bracelets, earrings, gold hairpins, and everything else. Chu Yunxi soon reaped a lot of gifts.

After receiving the gifts, it was natural to return the favor. Chu Yunxi took out a few exquisite porcelain bottles from the box beside her and said, "I don't know anything else, but my medical skills are the only thing I can show off. Before coming here, I personally prepared some beauty-enhancing jade dew and gave it to the ladies and Aunt Wang. I hope you can all stay young and beautiful forever."

Queen Lin smiled and said, "Princess, you have such a sweet mouth. It is widely spread in Nandi that Princess Dingbei of Dasui is an excellent doctor who can bring people back to health. It is a blessing for us sisters to get the Jade Dew you personally prepared."

Chu Yunxi then offered the jade dew one by one. When she gave it to Princess Sheng, she clearly saw that King Sheng could hardly keep the smile on his face.

Chu Yunxi smiled slightly and pretended not to see it. She had just deliberately mentioned her superb medical skills in order to make King Sheng feel guilty and make him make mistakes. Now it seems that the effect is quite good.

After three rounds of drinking, a eunuch came in and whispered something in Wu Zixu's ear. He glanced at Chu Yunxi, nodded slightly without leaving a trace, and gave another order to the eunuch. Chu Yunxi understood in her heart that an order had been issued to let Prince Sheng's Mansion put the person in the Sky Prison.

Wu Zixu is holding a banquet tonight and has specially invited Prince Sheng and his wife to come, in order to avoid any trouble when Wu Lingqi is captured. If Prince Sheng is not in the mansion, no one else would dare to do anything to Wu Lingqi. Taking this opportunity to put Wu Lingqi in the Sky Prison can also guarantee Wu Lingqi's safety to the greatest extent.

It seemed that everything was going smoothly. Chu Yunxi drank the wine slowly and felt relieved.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Mubei secretly entered the palace under Chu Yunxi's arrangement.

Wu Zixu had also left the court, and still met Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi in Derong Palace. Xiao Mubei told Chu Yunxi and Wu Zixu what happened last night. Wu Zixu said, "During the morning court today, Prince Sheng has already suggested that I send troops to destroy the Tiger and Leopard Camp. He said that although the people in Prince Qi's mansion have been arrested, the Tiger and Leopard Camp is Prince Qi's army, and there is no guarantee that they will not launch a mutiny. If we don't take measures to rescue Prince Qi, we will be too passive when the Tiger and Leopard Camp attacks. What do you think he meant by this?"

Xiao Mubei had led troops in battles for many years and was very proficient in the deployment of troops, so he asked, "Your Majesty, if we go to war with the Tiger and Leopard Camp now, where would your majesty send the troops?"

Wu Zixu said: "The Tiger and Leopard Battalion has 50,000 soldiers. If we want to wipe them out, we need to send at least 70,000 soldiers. Now, outside of Ka La City, besides the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, there are only the Black Armor Battalion in the south of the city and the Imperial Guards in the Imperial City. These two armies together have 100,000 soldiers. If 70,000 are sent out, there will only be 30,000 soldiers left to garrison the Imperial City."

Xiao Mubei said slowly: "If during the battle, the Tiger and Leopard Battalion receives reinforcements, and the Black Armor Battalion and the Imperial Guards are unable to successfully defeat them, does Your Majesty need to send additional troops? What will happen then?"

Wu Zixu pondered and said, “By then, the imperial city will be empty and unguarded. If it is attacked at this time, it will be easily breached.”

"I wonder how many troops King Sheng has?" Xiao Mubei asked again.

Wu Zixu narrowed his eyes slightly, "I have already found out that Prince Sheng has secretly trained 50,000 soldiers and hid them in a valley. He also has the Liu family army 20 miles away, which is the army led by General Liu, the father of Princess Sheng, with a total of 80,000 soldiers."

Xiao Mubei stood up and paced slowly. "130,000. If he can really get His Majesty to send troops to wipe out the Tiger and Leopard Camp, then the two sides don't need to really fight, they just need to confront each other. He can use 50,000 troops to contain them, or even send demons to confuse the people, so that the two sides really fight, and the remaining troops will attack Kara City. By then, the palace will be broken, and when those troops react, Your Majesty may not be here anymore. And Prince Sheng, kill all the people in Prince Qi's Mansion. He is the only bloodline of the royal family. He only needs to make a call, and Nandi will be in his pocket, right?"

Queen Mother Rong slammed the phoenix chair and cursed, "You have evil intentions."

Chu Yunxi comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Fortunately, we have already seen through his ambitions. Even if he jumps around again, he can't escape from your Majesty's Five Finger Mountain."

Queen Mother Rong said angrily: "I'm not angry about this. I'm angry that since he has already decided to attack the palace, why did he poison the emperor?"

"Of course it's just in case." Wu Zixu said, "He also has to leave himself a way out. If he fails, he can still use the antidote to threaten me to spare his life."

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Your Majesty is right. Prince Sheng is a meticulous person who never makes mistakes. He must have considered that if the army fails, he must leave himself a way out. At this time, Your Majesty is poisoned, and he is the only one who has the antidote. This is his bargaining chip. So last night, when he heard that I was an excellent doctor, his expression was very unnatural. He must have been afraid that I would cure the poison in Your Majesty. So he immediately proposed to wipe out the Tiger and Leopard Camp this morning because he dared not wait any longer. He wanted to do all this before Your Majesty was poisoned. At that time, he only needed to kill me, and His Majesty's poison would be at his disposal."

Wu Zixu and Queen Mother Rong finally understood why Chu Yunxi gave everyone the beauty-enhancing jade dew last night and revealed her medical skills. It turned out that it was all to force King Sheng to take action earlier.
