The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

The emperor clenched and unclenched his hands several times, but he could not contain his surging anger. His voice was cold as ice, full of intimidation: "If the Jie tribe dares to invade, I will tear you into pieces to show the law of the land!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Hao raised his head and laughed wildly: "All is up to you! When the time comes, your late emperor's tomb will be dug up by my Jie men, and his body will be humiliated and whipped under the scorching sun. Nine generations of your royal family will be restless in the underworld, and their souls will never be at peace!"

The emperor's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted sternly, "How dare you be so arrogant!"

Shan Hao showed no fear at all. He stared back with wide eyes and said coldly, "Why not? You can give it a try and see who has the last laugh!"

At this time, there was a dead silence in the court, and all the ministers were shocked into silence by Shan Hao's outrageous words.

Lu Qingchen was furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Shan Hao's neck with both hands, and roared, "You are so audacious! Who are you threatening?"

Shan Yu and the Jie envoys were all panicked and rushed forward with pale faces, "Let go of Third Brother!"

"Let go of the clan leader!"

However, Qin Miaoxi's eyebrows were raised, her eyes flashed with ferocity, and she blocked the way like a demon, sternly warning: "If you dare to act rashly, it will be hard to say whether your clan leader's head can continue to stay on your neck."

"When two countries negotiate, envoys should not be killed."

"You don't look like you want to negotiate! You're trying to inform us!"

Shan Yu turned his head abruptly, his gaze piercing the emperor like a knife, and shouted, "Your Majesty, are you just going to watch your subjects disobey the imperial order and wantonly kill envoys from other countries?"

The emperor seemed to have calmed down by now, and he responded calmly, "If you can communicate calmly, we can naturally discuss it well."

Humph, the fight is almost at your doorstep, and you still expect me to speak to you in a gentle voice. Are we such despicable people?

Shan Yu was extremely anxious, and this anxiety almost burst out from his eyes.

He clenched his teeth, his facial muscles twitching slightly due to the force. With a heart full of determination and anger, he suddenly turned around and attacked Qin Miaoxi.

Its attack was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, swift and fierce, going straight to the target.

At this critical moment, a scream pierced the air.

"Ah!" Shan Hao's scream was like a bolt from the blue, causing Shan Yu's body to freeze instantly.

His claws stopped abruptly in place. At this moment, the distance between his claws and Qin Miaoxi was terrifyingly close, almost touching her eyeballs. If he moved forward a little bit, Qin Miaoxi's eyes would be ruined.

Shan Yu shouted anxiously, hurriedly moved his hand away, and said loudly: "No, I won't move, don't touch my third brother."

However, Lu Qingchen's hand still did not loosen at all, but instead secretly increased the strength.

At this moment, Shan Hao's face turned even paler. He stared at Qin Miaoxi intently, his lips trembling slightly as he uttered a few words with difficulty: "How... did you realize that the murderer... was me?"

"Gold leaf."

Qin Miaoxi calmly took out the leaf that was broken into two halves, her tone calm but unquestionable.

"The gold leaf Prince Shan Yu presented was actually made using the potion you possessed. You immersed the corpse in that special potion for a long time to achieve its preservation effect. This is how you created the rare jade mummy. The amount of potion required to create such a mummy is something only you can provide."

After a brief moment of shock and confusion, Shan Hao's face gradually showed a hint of relief. He slowly spoke, "At first, I just wanted Big Brother to pass away in a dignified manner, to preserve his appearance. But later, when I saw his jade-like corpse, my heart was filled with fear. He lay there quietly, as if silently condemning and punishing me, as if warning me that everything I had done was an unforgivable mistake."

Qin Miaoxi stared at him intently, acutely aware of his unusual state. In an instant, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted at Lu Qingchen, "Let go!" Without a second thought, Lu Qingchen let go of Shan Hao. Like a puppet with its strings cut, Shan Hao fell to the ground with a dull thud, like a huge rock falling.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was shocked to see Shan Hao lying on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes gradually becoming empty and dull, as if he was about to die.

"Third brother!" "Clan leader!" Two figures came rushing over like lightning.

However, Shan Hao's life force became weaker and weaker, and his originally pale lips were stained a glaring red with blood.

He looked at Shan Yu, his lips slightly parted, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he was unable to utter a word and slowly died.

"Third Brother!"

Shan Yu shouted hoarsely, but received no response at all. The envoy beside him had already burst into tears.

The emperor, Liang Hongkai and others all stared at this sudden tragic scene in confusion, at a loss.

If there was still a chance for a turnaround just now, now all hope is gone. It seems that this battle is unavoidable.

Qin Miaoxi was about to go forward to find out what was going on, but Shan Yu, in a rage, pushed her away.

Shan Yu's eyes widened angrily, as if he wanted to burn everything around him. He roared, "Don't you dare touch my third brother! It must be you, a vicious person, who killed him. My hatred for you is as deep as the sea, and this hatred is irreconcilable!"

Qin Miaoxi's face was as cold as ice. She opened her red lips slightly and spoke with a firm tone, "It was definitely not my doing. The Jie tribe leader passed away due to illness."

"Hmph! Stop your sweet talk! How dare you commit such a crime in public and still try to make excuses? My Jie tribe and you are irreconcilable, and this vengeance will be exacted!"

"If you have any doubts, you can call for a doctor from the diplomatic mission to examine you. Patriarch Shan Hao has been ill for a long time. Judging from his condition, even if today's incident hadn't happened, he would probably not live long."

Shan Yu's anger subsided slightly after hearing this, but suspicion remained. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then call a doctor to check. If there's even a hint of falsehood, I'll make sure you wish you were dead!"

Qin Miaoxi nodded slightly and signaled the people beside her to quickly ask for the doctor from the diplomatic mission.

Soon, the doctor hurried over, looking a little nervous.

Shan Yu stared at the doctor and shouted, "Check the truth first. If you dare to cover up, I will not let you off!"

The doctor quickly agreed, then approached Shan Hao's body and examined it carefully. Everyone around held their breath, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

After a long while, the doctor stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Shan Hao indeed died of a relapse of his old illness and organ failure."

When Shan Yu heard this, his body shook, his face full of disbelief, and he murmured: "How is this possible?"

Liang Hongkai raised his voice and said in a resounding voice, "Prince Shan Yu, since the death of the Jie tribe leader was an accident, can you order the border troops to withdraw now?"

Shan Yu turned his gaze to the envoy, only to see that the envoy had no expression on his face and slowly shook his head.

"The clan leader had already issued the order to dispatch troops before his death. I'm afraid the army has already surrounded the city."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped. The air in the hall seemed to freeze in an instant, and a feeling of oppression spread like a tide.
