The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

The palace was as silent as death. Shan Yu suddenly knelt and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, Longyuan Country is a land of beautiful mountains and rivers, and outstanding people. Since I set foot in Jingzhao, I have witnessed the city's splendor and prosperity, and met the graceful and elegant women. I am truly attracted to them. I dare to ask Your Majesty to allow me to marry a woman from Jingzhao."

The emperor felt helpless when he heard this and his eyes fell on Shan Yu.

At this moment, the princess's marriage has not been finalized yet, but he is eager to marry a woman from Jingzhao. Could it be that he wants to marry because he is afraid of the disaster of destroying his country?

However, his cowardly attitude made the emperor feel secretly happy.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Prince Shan Yu, this matter is not for me to decide alone. Tell me, which girl has attracted you so much?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Yu was delighted and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the one I admire is Qin Miaoxi, the coroner in the palace."

Everyone in the field immediately turned their attention to Lu Qingchen. They all knew that the emperor had already granted them marriage a long time ago, and the Jie prince was trying to poach her right in front of the emperor!

Shan Yu continued, "I met her by chance, and her talent and beauty are unforgettable to me. I only hope to marry her and spend my life with her."

The emperor looked at Qin Miaoxi with a smile and said slowly, "Coroner Qin is indeed quite talented."

After saying this, he thought to himself: [This is just an ordinary girl. I originally wanted to use her as a common girl to belittle Lu Qingchen, but I didn't expect that she is really his favorite. Since the two of them haven't married yet, it's not a bad idea to give her to the Jie prince.]

Qin Miaoxi stared coldly at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, thinking to herself, how could such a person be worthy of being an emperor if he wanted to sacrifice a woman to save his country?

Shan Yu was overjoyed when he heard the emperor's words and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, do you agree?"

Seeing this, Lu Qingchen was extremely anxious and quickly stepped forward to refute, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! You have already arranged for Qin, the coroner, to marry me! Moreover, the general has already launched a counterattack against the Jie tribe. We only need reinforcements to defeat them in no time."

After he finished speaking, his eyes flashed with ferocity as he glared at Shan Yu fiercely, as if to say: If you dare to steal my wife, I will raid your lair, let's see if you still dare?

Shao Kun and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw his jealous look, but they didn't dare to show it. They didn't notice that the man above had already remembered the arranged marriage, and his face was as gloomy as water, as if he regretted arranging the marriage too early.

Qin Miaoxi was quite satisfied with Lu Qingchen's reaction, and thought to herself: A marquis who is often regarded as unlearned can see that this battle is bound to be won. With that person at the border, it is entirely possible to completely conquer the Jie tribe without hurting a single person. I didn't expect that as the supreme ruler of the world, he would be so timid, giving up the best strategy and leaving a powerful enemy for himself.

Lu Qingchen seemed to have been struck by a powerful force. His expression remained unchanged, and he spoke slowly and steadily, "Your Majesty, you once said that as long as Qin the Coroner can solve the case of Crown Prince Shan Ji, you will make him a county lord and grant him a fiefdom..."

Before he could finish his words, the Emperor seemed to suddenly remember this matter. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he spoke with a hint of regret, "Prince Shan Yu, I have indeed arranged a marriage between Marquis Xuanping and Qin the Coroner. Otherwise, why don't you look at other noble ladies?"

? ?

Is Your Majesty planning to deny your promise? You promised the title of County Master and the fiefdom earlier, but now you haven't mentioned a single word. This is truly unbecoming.

Shan Yu stared at Qin Miaoxi closely, his eyes filled with deep affection, and spoke earnestly, "My heart is devoted only to Qin the Coroner. Now that she has found her true love, how could I bear to separate this pair of mandarin ducks? I can only say that we are not destined to be together."

Lu Qingchen snorted coldly, raised his head high, and said in a tone that seemed to be swearing sovereignty: "Who is not destined to be with you? This is obviously my wife."

"Marquis Xuanping!" The emperor's eyes were full of warning and he glared at him fiercely.

Lu Qingchen then calmed down a little, but still held Qin Miaoxi's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

Seeing this, Shan Yu felt extremely bitter, but he could only force a smile and bowed respectfully to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I have no intention of offending you. I only wish that Qin the Coroner and the Marquis of Xuanping will live in harmony and grow old together."

Qin Miaoxi bowed slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Prince Shan Yu, for your help. I will definitely support you and live up to your grace."

Her voice was cold, yet carried a subtle firmness.

After hearing this, Lu Qingchen's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and his eyes were full of doting as he looked at Qin Miaoxi.

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's leave it at that. Shan Yu, I know you have excellent character and will definitely find a good match in the future."

After saying this, he slowly raised his hand and waved to everyone, looking tired and weak, saying: "I still need to carefully consider the matter of marriage, you all should leave. I am tired."

Upon hearing this, everyone kowtowed hurriedly and then retreated one by one.

Outside the hall, Shan Yu blocked Qin Miaoxi's way. When they saw her, although there was gossip in their eyes, they didn't want to stay there and left one by one.

Lu Qingchen stopped him unhappily, "What are you doing?"

Shan Yu looked straight at Qin Miaoxi, "I want to talk to Qin the coroner alone."

What the hell? Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Why would my wife talk to you, alone? Dream on!

The next moment, Qin Miaoxi's eyes locked onto him and she whispered, "I want to talk to him alone."

Lu Qingchen's face was filled with astonishment. He pointed at himself in disbelief, even suspecting that he had heard it wrongly, "I avoid it!?"

"Well, be good!"

Qin Miaoxi casually said something to comfort him without any sincerity, but it miraculously calmed the man who was originally furious down to the ground. Although he was reluctant, he still moved aside.

She then turned to look at Shan Yu with a calm expression: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shan Yu frowned and asked, "Why did you reject me? How am I inferior to that stingy man? Why didn't you choose me?"

Qin Miaoxi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She said slowly, "From the moment you asked this question, you've already fallen behind. You don't really want to marry me, you just want to take revenge on me, the sinner who so-called destroyed your brotherhood."

"I do not have."

Shan Yu refuted without thinking, but Qin Miaoxi only believed in the voice she heard in her heart.

When she said that the murderer of Crown Prince Shan Ji was Shan Yu's third brother Shan Hao, Shan Yu was so angry that he seemed to want to kill her.

"If... I mean, if it weren't for my elder brother, would you have chosen me?"

Qin Miaoxi looked at him with confusion, "Why on earth do you want to marry me?"

In her memory, the two of them had very little interaction. Even when they were investigating a case together, Shan Yu had never expressed any admiration for her. She couldn't think of any other reason other than revenge.

Shan Yu's deep eyes locked onto her, and he said sincerely and intently, "You are extremely outstanding. In my heart, you are the ideal partner who can walk through life with me."

When Qin Miaoxi heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This reason seemed too hasty.

She looked calm and responded softly: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I'm already engaged."

Shan Yu's eyes flashed with loneliness, but he still maintained his composure, "I understand, I hope you and him will be happy in this life."

When Shan Yu left, his back revealed a sense of loneliness and desolation, as if shrouded in an indescribable loneliness.

Lu Qingchen hurried forward and asked, "What did that guy say?"
