After watching the couple being buried, Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun returned to the restaurant.

"Do you think that the couple was really killed by Jiang Chan?" she asked with interest.

Shen Changyun: "I have also seen the man's body. There are scratches on his ankles, light corpse spots, and mud and sand on his mouth, nose, and ears. It looks like Jiang Chen dragged him into the water and killed him."

Li Qingqian chuckled: "But, why did Jiang Chen strangle the living person on the shore first and then drag him into the water?"

Shen Changyun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Did my wife see it too?"

Li Qingqian nodded. When she squatted down to check the body, she found something wrong.

There was a tiny purple mark on the woman's neck, so she wiped it quietly with a handkerchief, only to find that the woman might have been strangled to death, but the mark on the neck was covered by a kind of white mud.

When she looked down at the white mud on the handkerchief, she found that it couldn't be rubbed off at all, which was very strange.

The coroner came to examine the bodies of the couple when they were first salvaged, but he did not find any white mud on their necks.

Just when the two were absorbed in their thoughts, Fu Bin's attendant came to report that Jiang Chan was spotted again at a house by the river.

Li Qingqian frowned slightly when she heard that and glanced out the window. Although it was not the fifteenth day of the lunar month today, the moon was hanging high in the sky, round and bright.

"The people involved are Yun Gui, a medical practitioner who had just arrived in Bailian Town, and Madam Qing Yu, a flower seller who was traveling with her," Fu Bin said with a serious expression as they rode in the carriage heading to the river. "Yun Gui and Madam Qing Yu have been living in Jingyang, the only city in Yunzhou that has not been in trouble with Jiang Chan."

Yun Gui? Such a familiar name...

Li Qingqian: "Did they see Jiang Chen?"

"It was Madam Qingyu who saw it. During the day, Yun Gui, the doctor, was setting up a stall outside to practice medicine. Madam Qingyu saw the beautiful peach blossoms on the peach tree by the river bank and thought of making peach blossom fish for Yun Gui. Unexpectedly, when she was fishing at dusk, she suddenly saw Jiang Min in the water. Madam Qingyu was scared, so she pretended not to see it, collected the fish basket and walked back."

"Who knew that Jiang Chen would follow her all the way. At the critical moment, Doctor Yun Gui rushed back and saved Madam Qingyu with his superb martial arts skills."

His name is Yun Gui. He is a doctor and also an expert in martial arts?

Li Qingqian asked again: "What happened next?"

Fu Bin shook his head. "Medical Officer Yun Gui said that she was so focused on saving Madam Qingyu that she didn't see what Jiang Chen looked like. After she saved him, she heard a sound of water on the river behind her. When she looked back, she saw nothing but ripples on the river."

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the place where the two of them lived, as Fu Bin said.

As soon as Li Qingqian got off the carriage, she smelled a familiar fragrance, as if she had smelled it somewhere before.

The courtyard door was opened, and a woman in white clothes walked out, with the fragrance of herbs on her body.

"Master Fu, you are here..."

When she saw Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun standing beside her, her voice stopped abruptly, and finally her eyes fell steadily on Li Qingqian's face, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes.

Li Qingqian vaguely felt that she seemed to be looking at another person through herself.

Fu Bin coughed lightly and explained to the woman, "Doctor Yun Gui, this one is the Crown Prince's wife, and the other one is Crown Prince Shen from the capital."

Li Qingqian recalled that she was the medical practitioner setting up a stall that she saw that day, but she did not hear clearly what the other woman seemed to have said to her.

Now that I think about it, what we should shout is “Yun Gui”.

The face of Doctor Yun Gui in front of him was somewhat similar to the vague face in his childhood memory, which made Li Qingqian's eyes a little sour.

She took the initiative to nod towards Yun Gui and said, "I have long heard of Dr. Yun Gui's great name. Nice to meet you."

Yun Gui pulled the corners of his mouth a little unnaturally, but the kindness in his eyes could not be hidden.

"I never thought that the Crown Prince's wife would be so young. She looks like she just got married to the Crown Prince not long ago."

Li Qingqian wasn't sure if she was the person in his memory, so he smiled from a distance and said nothing more.

Yun Gui turned his head to the side and said to her with a smile, "It's cool by the river at night, come in first."

They followed him into the yard.

Yun Gui invited them to sit in the main room, brought them a pot of hot tea, and placed a plate of chestnut cakes in front of Li Qingqian.

Following her instructions, Li Qingqian took a bite and unexpectedly found it to be salty.

"We rushed here upon hearing the news. I wonder if Madam Qingyu is feeling better?"

Yun Gui: "She was a little frightened. I gave her some medicine just now and she has fallen asleep. It's nothing serious."

There seemed to be a low whimpering sound in the air.

Fu Bin looked around vigilantly.

Li Qingqian waved her hand, "He's my secret guard. Yunwu, what's wrong with you? Tell me what's going on."

At the same time, she also observed Yun Gui with her peripheral vision. As expected, a subtle complexity flashed across Yun Gui's expression for a moment.

With the permission, Yun Wu appeared in front of them the next moment, looking at Yun Gui with red eyes, "It really is you, Master. After so many years, I finally see you again."

"Master?" Fu Bin was a little confused.

Shen Changyun also raised his eyes and looked at the two of them. Is Qianqian's secret guard Yun Gui's disciple?

Yun Gui looked at Yun Wu calmly, then smiled faintly and said, "Miss, are you calling me? But I have never had a disciple, maybe you made a mistake."

Seeing this, Fu Bin realized that he seemed to need to step aside, so he stood up and said, "The matter of Jiang Chen has not been resolved yet, so I will wait outside with my attendant. You guys can chat."

After he left, Yun Wu couldn't help it and knelt down in front of Yun Gui with a plop. With red eyes, she said, "Master, I am Yun Wu. It was you who saved me and my sister from the cliff. It was you who taught me all your skills. Yun Wu has grown taller in the past few years. Master, can't you recognize me?"

Yun Gui glanced at the silent Li Qingqian and reached out to help Yun Wu up. "Girl, please get up quickly. I'm really not the person you're looking for."

"If you are not the person Yunwu is looking for, then how do you know that I like to eat salty chestnut crisps?" Li Qingqian said in a muffled voice.

Yun Gui was just stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Qingyu likes to eat it, so I always prepare it. I saw that the wife of the prince and Qingyu are somewhat similar, so I subconsciously made my own decision. I hope Madam will not be offended."

lie.

Li Qingqian sniffed and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Really? Then can you let me see how much I resemble Madam Qingyu?"

There was only one possibility, Li Qingqian no longer cared about decency and etiquette, and went straight past Yun Gui and into Madam Qingyu's room.

If she was Yun Gui, who was training a new batch of Tan Yi secret guards for her grandmother, then it meant that the person inside... I was not mistaken that day.
