"Hehe, okay, we still have to go to the Dali Temple." Gu Yunru thought of the purpose of leaving the palace today, and winked at Rong Zhen beside her. Looking at him holding so many pastries in his hands, she felt a little sweet in her heart for some reason.

Dali Temple.

Cheng Shaoyuan first invited a few people to sit down and have tea in the hall, and then told everyone about a strange thing that happened recently.

"You mean my sister was brought into the capital by a little beggar? What did the beggar say?"

Gu Yunru concentrated for a moment and couldn't help but become extremely curious about this matter. Is this the legendary master? Why is he in the Dali Temple? "This beggar has a lot of kung fu, and his behavior is quite strange. I am afraid that if I leave him here, he will endanger others, so I locked him up first."

Gu Yunru heard this and looked at Cheng Shaoyuan in astonishment. He actually locked up Gu Junyao's savior so carelessly. This was really bizarre! "Let me see him. I'm curious about what he looks like." Gu Yunru was even more curious and couldn't wait to see the legendary little beggar.

Rong Zhen didn't have the heart to continue sitting here and drinking tea. When he saw the two of them walking into the prison together, he couldn't wait to follow them.

"Right here."

Cheng Shaoyuan pointed at the thin and sloppy figure in the last cell, who was leaning against the wall. It was unknown what he was thinking, with his hair disheveled and his face could not be seen clearly. However, Cheng Shaoyuan said that he looked extremely ugly, so they were afraid that he would hurt others.

After seeing the little beggar, everyone walked from the cell to the morgue. The coroner was cleaning the wounds on Lu Yun's body and determined that he was stabbed with a knife.

"That means someone deliberately killed Lu Yun and dumped her body in the abandoned well?"

Gu Yunru covered her mouth and nose and looked at Cheng Shaoyuan beside her, but Rong Zhen said, "Look at the back of her neck."

No one paid much attention at first, but they found a small birthmark on the back of Luyun's neck. But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a wound. Could it be that the murderer stabbed her and then strangled her neck, determined to kill her?

Gu Yunru walked straight forward, squatted down beside Luyun, and carefully observed the wound that looked like a birthmark.

"It seems like he had a scuffle with someone before, but what is certain is that he had no signs of life before falling into the well." Gu Yunru observed very carefully, and the coroner beside him echoed him one by one.

"This eunuch is right. The knife wound is fatal, but if it is treated in time, there will be no accident."

Gu Yunru covered her mouth and nose in embarrassment. Didn't the coroner find out that she was a woman? But all this seemed unimportant. Lu Yun's death might be related to the Millennium Palace, and almost everyone in the Millennium Palace had special skills and would help Concubine Shu do some shady things when necessary.

The Concubine Shu was in such a high position and power that it was not easy to bring her down with her power.

There were no other clues on Luyun's hands except for the fatal wounds. It seemed that the murderer was very careful and cleaned up everything suspicious, even the nails.

As the sky darkened, Rong Zhen reminded her that it was time to go back. Gu Yunru quickly said goodbye to Cheng Shaoyuan and returned to the palace with him.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Yunru kept thinking about Lu Yun, but after thinking for a long time he still had no clue.

"What are you thinking about?" Rong Zhen saw that Gu Yunru, who was usually chattering, was silent today and seemed unusually depressed, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, it's okay. By the way, did Ying agree to know about Lu Yun's matter?"

"Know."

Gu Yunru nodded, and she didn't need to tell her about this matter specifically.

Rong Zhen looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Didn't she want to ask something else? After waiting for a long time but getting no answer to her question, she simply kept silent.

Back in the palace, Gu Yunru quickly changed into a white gown, and Qingxing helped her comb her hair while saying, "The prince is really thoughtful and gave Miss so many pear blossom cakes."

Such a small action was indeed quite romantic and touching. Gu Yunru didn't notice it at the time, but now that she was thinking back on it, she felt something different.

"Miss, after your transformation, the prince has indeed become more reasonable, and Qingxing has never seen him go crazy or mad."

Qingxing said this seriously as she inserted the Yingluo flower hairpin into her hair bun.

"Although he looks normal on the surface, who knows what he is like at night." Gu Yunru pursed her lips. At this moment, she felt like she was under house arrest in the palace. If she didn't resolve the issue between Chu Ziqiao and the princess, the queen dowager would never let her go.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror with satisfaction. She saw that her lips were red, her teeth were white, her face was as pretty as a lotus, and her eyes were bright and shining.

"By the way, Qingxing, have you found out what I asked you to investigate? What kind of person is Chu Ziqiao?"

Gu Yunru turned around, her pair of eyes full of hope and light, revealing a hint of nobility and elegance.

"Miss, Chu Ziqiao started learning the zither when he was very young, and was later selected to enter the palace as a musician. He does not behave improperly in his daily life, and his friends all praise him highly."

Qing Xing recalled as she spoke. Chu Leshi was handsome, no wonder the princess fell in love with him. He was also elegant and easy-going. Who could not love such a man? "Hehe." Qing Xing laughed out loud as she spoke. Her face turned red like a monkey's butt. Seeing her crazy look, Gu Yunru pinched her face unhappily and said, "Okay, I think you are crazy about Chu Leshi, right?"

"Miss, no..." Qingxing lowered her head shyly, but the soft light of favor in her eyes lingered for a long time.

"I don't know you yet. If one day Master Chu becomes a eunuch, what will you do?" Gu Yunru was suddenly choked by her own words. How could she say such a thing? If she didn't make them break up within the time limit set by the Queen Mother, then she wouldn't be able to control what would happen to Chu Ziqiao.

"No! I need to go see Master Chu."

Gu Yunru was unsure, as becoming a eunuch was the only possibility for Chu Ziqiao, and she couldn't let such a handsome guy become a rootless person.

"Miss, it's so late, let's go tomorrow." Qingxing looked at the dark night and felt a little worried.

"No, things have to be prioritized." Once Gu Yunru made a decision, it would not be changed. He quickly rushed to the musician's residence. As soon as he walked near the gate, he heard the sound of harmonious music coming from inside. They were still rehearsing so late.

The doorman led the two men in and had tea in a side hall.

Gu Yunru looked around. Ever since Chu Ziqiao won the favor of the princess, he had an independent courtyard and was not disturbed by others. If it were before, four or five people would have been crowded in a small room.
