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

Tie Niu angrily asked, "Li Dali, why are you doing this?"

Dali looked at Xiaohuan and said, "I like Xiaohuan and want to marry her, but she is determined to marry you, so I want to get rid of you. I know you often buy tranquilizing incense. I heard that dragon scale vegetable mixed with tranquilizing incense can produce a strong poison, so I went to Dahuai Mountain to pick dragon scale vegetable and asked my mother to send it to your mother. I did all this, and my mother knows nothing."

"But she knows that dragon scale vegetable mixed with tranquilizing incense is highly poisonous," Chu Yunxi looked at Aunt Li. She looked ashen, her lips moving, and her eyes were full of despair.

"My mother doesn't know. It was...I just told her today." Dali said hoarsely.

Aunt Li suddenly grabbed Dali and said, "No, Dali, you don't have to defend your mother. It was your mother who was wrong. You advised your mother before, but she didn't listen and wanted to get rid of Tie Niu and his mother. In fact, I have been dissatisfied with Tie Niu's mother for a long time. She brags about this and that all day long, and I get annoyed when I hear her. Now her son wants to snatch a woman from my son. I have never seen my son like someone so much, but that person doesn't even look at my son. Why? How is my son worse than Tie Niu? Xiaohuan, why do you treat my son like a worn-out shoe?"

Xiaohuan was speechless and couldn't speak. Tieniu didn't know about this matter and was also shocked.

Aunt Li said, "I was thinking, if both mother and son disappeared, would Xiaohuan give up and marry Dali? When I was a nanny in the city, I accidentally learned that the mixture of dragon scale vegetable and tranquilizing incense can become a deadly poison, but no one in the village knew about it, so I asked Dali to pick dragon scale vegetable and give it to Tieniu's mother. Dali advised me to stop, saying that he would find other women, but I was just angry. Why can't my son get what he wants? How can Tieniu get what he wants?"

No one spoke. The aroma of the calming incense filled the entire room. Chu Yunxi looked at the dragon scale vegetable on the table. In fact, the taste of the dragon scale vegetable was very light, and after being fried, it no longer had its original flavor. If it was not eaten, it would be fine if it was just left like this.

But Aunt Li only knew that the mixture of dragon scale vegetable and tranquilizing incense was poisonous, and she saw with her own eyes that Tie Niu's mother was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, so she was naturally afraid and revealed her flaws.

Women's jealousy is really terrible, Chu Yunxi thought silently, asked Bai Yu to watch the mother and son first, and asked Tie Niu to go to the nearby town to report the case. At the same time, she gathered the villagers and told them that the mixture of dragon scale vegetable and calming incense is highly poisonous. She asked everyone to be careful in the future to avoid unnecessary casualties. The reason why Tie Niu's mother was able to escape this time was that she was reluctant to use more calming incense on weekdays, and only lit a little each time, so the toxicity was slightly smaller. If she lit a whole stick of calming incense, after one night, I'm afraid the poison would enter her lungs and there would be no cure.

The villagers found it hard to believe that Aunt Li would actually kill Tie Niu's mother because of her son. She was always smiling when they met each other, and it was true that one could only judge a person by his appearance.

Chu Yunxi stayed in Tie Niu's village for another two days. Only after she saw that Tie Niu's mother had almost recovered did she decide to leave. Dali and Aunt Li had already been arrested by the government. They would probably be convicted of attempted murder. They wouldn't be beheaded, but Aunt Li would probably have to spend the rest of her life in jail.

Chu Yunxi left some detoxification pills for Tie Niu's mother. Tie Niu and Xiao Huan were reluctant to let her go, but they also knew they couldn't keep her. Chu Yunxi and the others had been delayed here for several days. Yesterday, Bai Yu received a letter from Emperor Dasui, asking when Xiao Mubei would return. He said that in the few months he was away, the Dali Temple had accumulated a lot of difficult and complicated cases, and asked him and Chu Yunxi to hurry back.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi decided to return to the palace in Kala City to say goodbye to Empress Dowager Rong and the Emperor. They had been away for quite some time and it was time to go back.

Xiao Huan brought a lot of vegetables grown at home and gave them to Chu Yunxi. She held her hand and said, "Sister Chu, there is nothing good in the countryside. These vegetables are the only ones I grew myself. You must bring some with you. If you can't find anything to eat on the road, you can use them as a snack."

Chu Yunxi couldn't bear to reject her kindness, so she asked Hei Mu to collect the earrings and put them on the carriage. She held Xiao Huan's hand and said, "Tie Niu is a man worthy of entrusting your life to. I won't be able to catch up with your wedding. This pair of earrings is my gift. I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."

She took off a pair of gold-plated earrings she was wearing and gave them to Xiaohuan, who quickly refused, "Sister, these are too valuable. I can't accept them. Sister, you saved my mother, and Tieniu and I are already very grateful."

Chu Yunxi stuffed the earrings into her hand and said, "It is the duty of a doctor to save people. Don't refuse me. It can be regarded as a thought. Take good care of Auntie and Tie Niu in the future and live a good life. Do you understand?"

Xiaohuan had no choice but to nod and accept the earrings. Tieniu stammered and didn't know what to say. Chu Yunxi put Xiaohuan's hand into Tieniu's hand and said, "You must treat Xiaohuan well in the future, okay? A woman is the feng shui of a family. If you treat Xiaohuan well, the whole family will be well. Remember?"

Tie Niu nodded heavily. It was getting late, so after saying goodbye to each other, Chu Yunxi and her group left. Before dark, they finally returned to the palace in Kala City.

As soon as I arrived at Derong Palace, Queen Mother Rong came to greet me and said angrily, "How come you've been away for so long?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's not that I'm too lucky. I run into murders wherever I go. My senior brother always says that I'm prone to working overtime. This has delayed me for so many days."

Empress Dowager Rong knew about the Bodhi Temple incident. She smiled and said, "This is a new term, overtime physique. However, once our Yunxi takes action, no matter what the case is, it will be solved. Isn't this a successful case?"

"Your Majesty, please stop praising me. Be careful not to make me too proud." Chu Yunxi said with a smile.

"Just float away, our Yunxi has the qualifications to float away." Queen Mother Rong laughed.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Chu Yunxi finally said, "I also want to say goodbye to the queen today. The prince and I have been out for too long. His Majesty urged us to return as soon as possible. We plan to set off for Dasui tomorrow."

When Empress Dowager Rong heard this, she immediately became reluctant and said, "Can't you stay a few more days?"

Chu Yunxi held Empress Dowager Rong's hand and said, "I also want to spend more time with you, but when I went to Bodhi Temple this time, the abbot told me something important. I'm... pregnant."

Queen Mother Rong was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Really?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and nodded. Empress Dowager Rong was overjoyed. She stood up and walked out. "I have to ask someone to prepare more food for you. You can't let the child starve. Also, wait for two days. I will ask the Clothing Bureau to make some small clothes for you to wear. By the way, when you return to Dasui, the weather will be cold. I have to prepare some thick clothes for you as well. You can't get sick now. And, by the way, bedding, you can't be shaken now..."
