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

Chu Yunxi waited for Xiao Mubei to answer, but saw him looking at her without saying a word. She couldn't help but asked curiously, "Prince?"

Xiao Mubei woke up as if from a dream, and realized that he had lost his composure. He was a little embarrassed, turned his head and coughed before saying, "It's really good to be free."

But being in the royal family, such a simple life has become a luxury, and I don’t know when I can live it.

Chu Yunxi naturally knew the helplessness of the royal children, so she just expressed her feelings and didn't take it to heart.

The carriage stopped, and Bai Yu said outside: "My Lord, Miss, we are here."

Chu Yunxi was refreshed, and immediately jumped out of the carriage, stretching her waist, "We are finally here."

Chen Ma's hometown is in a village at the foot of Chunshan Mountain. Chunshan County is also named after Chunshan. The area here is vast and sparsely populated. People in the village make a living by digging medicinal herbs in the mountains. Therefore, during the day, almost all the people left in the village are elderly people over 70 years old, and there are no young and middle-aged people to be seen.

The old people in the village were sitting in groups of three or four under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and chatting. As soon as this group of four handsome men and beautiful women appeared, they immediately attracted attention.

An energetic old man stepped forward and stopped a few people. "You look unfamiliar. What brings you to Chun'an Village?"

It seems that he should be the village manager. Hei Mu stepped forward and asked, "Father-in-law, we are from the Gao family in Beijing. We are here to see Chen Ma. I wonder which one is Chen Ma's home?"

When the old man heard that it was the Gao family, he immediately put down his guard and said, "Go into the village and keep walking east. The one with a pond at the door is Aunt Chen's house."

"Thank you, father-in-law." After expressing his gratitude, Hei Mu walked towards the village with Xiao Mubei and the others.

Chu Yunxi heard the discussion behind her, "Mrs. Chen is so lucky. She lives with a good family. Even after she retired and returned to her hometown, people still visit her every year."

"I heard that the master and mistress of the family she served before were very nice people. After Aunt Chen came back, she still thought about them every day, and would ask someone to bring some medicinal herbs to the capital."

"You said that Chen Ma has no children and has such a good master, why doesn't she follow him all the time?"

"Yes, she is in good health..."

Chu Yunxi and the others walked away, and gradually could no longer hear the discussions. Chu Yunxi asked, "Do you find it strange?"

"It's a bit strange," Xiao Mubei said, "We'll know after we go ask."

Chun'an Village was not big. After walking for a while, everyone saw a pond. A woman was feeding fish by the pond. At this time, Chu Yunxi stepped forward and asked, "Is it Aunt Chen?"

The woman looked up, confusion in her eyes, "I am, who are you?"

Chu Yunxi saw that Aunt Chen was about fifty years old and looked very healthy. She certainly didn't look frail or sickly. At this age, it should be the best time for her to be popular if she lives with a wealthy family.

Moreover, Mrs. Gao sent people to visit her every year, and even asked her daughter to visit her, which showed that she cared about her very much. What made her give up such a good family as the Gao family and choose to return to the village to live a lonely life?

These thoughts were just a passing thought as Chu Yunxi said, "We are from the Dali Temple and want to find out something from you."

"Dali Temple?"

Mother Chen immediately became nervous, "Did something happen to the Gao family?"

"Something happened to the Gao family." Chu Yunxi didn't want to make her worry too much, so she didn't continue talking about this topic. Instead, she said, "But we came here today to ask you about something that happened fifteen years ago."

"Fifteen years ago?" Chen's mother's eyes dodged for a moment. "Who still remembers what happened fifteen years ago?"

This is the wrong reaction!

Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Mubei, who had obviously noticed it as well. The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

A normal person would ask, "What happened fifteen years ago?" and choose to listen to see if he has any impression of it, rather than not listening at all and insisting that he doesn't remember it.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Mother Chen, please listen first, maybe you remember it."

Mother Chen was silent for a while before asking, "What's the matter?"

Bai Yu skillfully took out the notebook and prepared to start taking notes. Chu Yunxi asked, "Fifteen years ago, in the second year of Yongning, did Master Gao save a family that was about to starve to death? This family of four was named Yue. Do you still remember it?"

Aunt Chen blurted out, "I don't know anyone with the surname Yue. You can ask the master whether he has ever saved such a family. I don't know."

After saying that, she packed up the fish food in her hand and prepared to go back to the house, obviously not intending to pay any more attention to them.

Something is very wrong.

Chu Yunxi glanced at Hei Mu, who immediately stepped forward to stop Chen Ma, his expression extremely cold, "The Dali Temple is investigating the case, and anyone who refuses to cooperate will be treated as a suspect and taken back to the Dali Temple for imprisonment."

"It's unfair, sir. It's not that I'm uncooperative. It's just that this happened so long ago, how could I possibly remember it?" When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately cried out for injustice.

Chu Yunxi laughed secretly. She didn't expect that Heimu, a taciturn person, could scare people so well. But is it really a good idea to destroy the reputation of Dali Temple in this way?

However, the Dali Temple originally did not have a good reputation in the minds of ordinary people, so it made little difference whether it was destroyed or not.

Chu Yunxi coughed lightly, took a few steps forward and said, "Mother Chen, if we could ask Master Gao, why would we go so far to ask you? Master Gao is in trouble."

Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master...what happened?"

Chu Yunxi originally didn't want to tell her about the Gao family first, but seeing that she didn't plan to say it, she didn't plan to say anything either, so she just opened up and spoke frankly.

"Not only Master Gao, but also Madam Gao, the two Gao brothers, the young master, and Gao Haoyu's unborn child. All... are gone."

Chu Yunxi said this slowly in a low voice. Chen Ma's legs softened and she sat on the ground. Her eyes were dull and her lips were trembling. It took a long while for her to squeeze out a sound from her throat, "They...are all dead?"

Chu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "Yes, the murderer is the child of the Yue family."

Mother Chen's legs were just weak, but when she heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Chu Yunxi asked Baiyu Heimu to carry the person back to the house. She stood side by side with Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, this Chen Ma definitely knows about the Yue family, and judging from her reaction, she probably knows a lot."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, her reaction is too strange. There must be something else going on. She started to resist it since she heard about it fifteen years ago."

"That's right. Let's go and see what she is trying to hide." Chu Yunxi took the lead and entered the room. She looked at Chen Ma. She took out a set of silver needles from the Liyue bracelet and inserted a needle into Chen Ma's philtrum and both temples. After a while, Chen Ma woke up.
