> Resúmenes de The Imperial Coroner 2
Following the assassination of the Eldest Prince at the banquet, Xiao Jinyu acted quickly to contain the scene, ordering his subordinates to stay back. You Chen'an immediately attempted to frame the Tang delegation, accusing them of sabotage and murder. However, Xiao Jinyu exposed his motive, pointing out that You Chen'an stood to benefit most from his brother's death to secure his own path to the throne.
Cornered, You Chen'an threatened to commit suicide on the spot to ensure Xiao Jinyu would be blamed for the deaths of both princes, forcing Xiao Jinyu to allow him to depart. Anticipating the fallout, Xiao Jinyu instructed Xiao Jinli to prepare the army for an imminent conflict. Upon hearing of the tragedy, the King of Nanzhao was gripped by rage and declared he would personally lead his troops into war.
Meanwhile, Chu Chu worked until she fell asleep from exhaustion while performing surgeries to remove poisonous insects from the victims. When she woke, Xiao Jinyu informed her of the political turmoil. Chu Chu’s father also arrived to see her, still mourning the loss of his son, Chu He. Xiao Jinyu expressed his deep regret for failing to protect the family, but the father took pride in Chu He’s heroic sacrifice for the nation.
Entrusting Chu Chu’s safety to Xiao Jinyu, the father accepted the promise that once the conflict ended, the entire family would be moved to Chang’an to live out their lives in peace. As the Eldest Prince’s consort mourned her husband, Zhou Han provided her with crucial evidence: the assassination weapon was a rare steel dagger traced back to a forge owned by You Chen’an.
Despite the consort’s plea for justice, the King publicly dismissed her and told her to focus on the funeral rites to prevent internal strife. Privately, however, the King confronted You Chen'an, revealing he was fully aware that his son was the true culprit behind the murder. The situation escalated the next day when You Chen'an announced the King had suffered a sudden stroke and took control of Nanzhao. In reality, You Chen'an had poisoned his father into a vegetative state.
Observing this cold-blooded betrayal, Li Zhang grew fearful, realizing You Chen'an would not hesitate to turn on him as well. You Chen'an then sent word that any further peace negotiations would require Xiao Jinyu to personally travel to Nanzhao territory. Back at the camp, Chu Chu faced a severe shortage of medicinal herbs. Her father suggested searching a local market where itinerant traders gathered.
Though they secured some supplies, it was still insufficient, leading the father and Leng Yue to investigate another location. During the search, the group became separated, and Chu Chu’s father was abducted by You Chen'an’s men. To ensure her father’s safety, Chu Chu voluntarily surrendered to the captors, leaving word for Leng Yue to tell Xiao Jinyu that she would be safe for now because You Chen'an still required her medical skills.
Learning of the kidnapping, Xiao Jinyu entrusted the border defense to Xiao Jinli and set off for Nanzhao with Jing Yi to uncover You Chen'an's true goals. Upon arrival, Chu Chu comforted her guilt-ridden father, explaining that they were the primary targets of this plot. During the formal meeting, You Chen'an presented the paralyzed King, while the Nanzhao generals remained hostile, insisting that there could be no peace until the blood debt for their fallen prince was settled.
