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

Chapter 464 There Should Be a Spy

Chu Yunxi pondered for a while and said, "It must be the people behind Yue Yixiao who did it, and their purpose was to kill and silence them."

Li Jinghong said: "It would be fine if you just wanted to kill him, but why did you have to kill the prince?"

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, who was also frowning in his sleep. She didn't know whether it was because of pain or worry. She reached out and stroked his brows with some heartache, trying to smooth them out. She said slowly, "Li Shaoqing, we have speculated before that the mastermind behind the murder of the student might be a foreigner, right?"

Li Jinghong nodded, and suddenly realized: "I understand. So in addition to killing Yue Yixiao tonight, they also thought that if they could kill King Dingbei, it would cut off an arm of my Dasui, which would also be a great achievement for them."

Chu Yunxi slowly stroked Xiao Mubei's brow, and he actually slowly relaxed. Chu Yunxi said, "Yes, I was originally wondering about another possibility, that is, the student murder case. Could it be that a student wanted to remove the stumbling block on the road ahead, so he hired a killer? Now it seems that this possibility can be ruled out. Since the other party has such a powerful crossbow team, they must not be ordinary people. These students don't have such ability."

"Which country's spies could have infiltrated our country?" Li Jinghong pondered.

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Nandi and Shusha can be ruled out first. The remaining three kingdoms are Shu, Chu and Dari." She pondered for a moment and asked, "The last time you came to the capital to pay homage, the prince and I were not there. Is there anything wrong with these three kingdoms?"

"This..." Li Jinghong was a little embarrassed. "I'm not sure. After all, I'm not involved in the reception of the delegation."

Receiving the diplomatic corps? Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up. Isn't this the second brother's job?

"Okay, Li Shaoqing, you've worked hard too. Go back and have a rest. Tomorrow... uh, there are still many things to do today." It was already bright outside, and Chu Yunxi felt exhausted. She sat on the footstool next to the couch, leaned over next to Xiao Mubei and closed her eyes.

Qingmei came to Chu Yunxi and said, "Princess, why don't you go to the next room and rest for a while? Hongyu and I will be watching over you here."

Doctor Lu also said, "Yes, Yunxi, Yanran and I are here too, you can rest assured. You are still pregnant, even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the child."

Chu Yunxi thought about it and decided that she really shouldn't be too tired right now, so she stopped being stubborn and stood up with Qingmei's help. She said, "Then I'll go to sleep for a while. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Doctor Lu agreed, and Chu Yunxi felt uneasy and touched Xiao Mubei's forehead again. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she went to the next room to sleep.

Her body was extremely sleepy, but her mind was always restless. In her dreams, many things seemed to come and go in her mind, making her very annoyed. After sleeping and waking for two or three hours, Chu Yunxi could no longer fall asleep. She got up and called Qingmei in, asking her, "Is the prince awake?"

Qingmei replied, "The prince woke up a long time ago and came to see the princess on crutches. When he saw that you were asleep, he left again because he didn't want to disturb you. He is now in the study."

Chu Yunxi frowned. “Why did he go to the study room instead of telling him to have a good rest?” He didn’t have the awareness of a patient at all.

Qingmei shook her head. She was just a maid, how could she find out what the prince was doing?

Chu Yunxi couldn't sleep either, so she got up and went to check on Hei Mu next door. He was still asleep and had a slight fever, which was normal. With so many wounds on his body, it would be strange if he didn't have a fever. However, since he was receiving anti-inflammatory water all the time, it was not a big problem.

So she went to the study again and pushed the door open. Xiao Mubei was sitting behind the desk writing something. When he heard the door open, he looked up and saw Chu Yunxi.

He wanted to stand up, but forgot that his leg was injured. He just stood up a little, and then he fell down again with a cry of "ouch", grimacing in pain. Chu Yunxi nervously ran two steps and asked hurriedly, "How are you?"

Xiao Mubei took a moment to relax, then raised his head and forced a smile, "I was so excited to see you that I forgot that my leg was injured."

Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly squatted down to look at his wound. Fortunately, there was no more bleeding. She stood up and scolded: "Look at you, how come you don't know how to take care of yourself at all? You made me worry. You are so mean."

Xiao Mubei smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I am bad. I made the princess worry. It was my fault."

Chu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction. "That's a good attitude. I forgive you. But you must be careful when you go out next time."

Xiao Mubei was very touched by Chu Yunxi's concern, and said obediently: "I know, ma'am."

Chu Yunxi smiled, remembering that he was writing something just now, so she asked, "What are you writing?"

Xiao Mubei pointed to the memorial on the desk and said, "I am writing a memorial to my brother. Li Shaoqing has already told me your analysis yesterday. So, there are spies from other countries in the capital. They not only kill students and want to cut off the talents of Dasui, but also want to kill me. Their purpose is self-evident. I am afraid they have evil intentions. I have to ask my brother to search the capital and find these people. Otherwise, where is the prestige of Dasui?"

Chu Yunxi said: "But now all of this is just speculation, there is no substantial evidence, just the death of Yue Yixiao last night and an inexplicable assassination, it is not enough to prove that the murderer is a foreigner."

"Let's investigate first. If we investigate strictly, these people may reveal their true colors. They killed Yue Yixiao last night because they were afraid that Yue Yixiao would give them up. This shows that they now only dare to hide in the dark like rats and do sabotage. In this case, I will not let them hide. I want to see if they dare to fight us with real guns and swords." Xiao Mubei was obviously also angry about what happened last night.

"Okay, now Yue Yixiao is dead, and there is only one person left who knows this man's identity, and that's the person who collaborated with Yue Yixiao. Next, we have to catch this person as soon as possible, so that we can pry the person behind the scenes out of his mouth more quickly." Chu Yunxi said.

Xiao Mubei said with some worry: "What I am worried about now is that since they all want to kill Yue Yixiao, I am afraid that this person is also in danger right now, and the person behind the scenes must also want to kill him."

"This is indeed a problem..." Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the person Li Shaoqing sent to find Yu Xinfei's fellow townsman may not report back so quickly. Now if we want to find that person quickly, I have a way."

She leaned over and whispered her plan in Xiao Mubei's ear. Xiao Mubei hesitated and said, "You go alone? How can I feel at ease? I'd better wait until I get better and then I'll go with you..."
