The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 119: Imperial Decree, County Lord and Fiefdom

Qin Miaoxi and Lu Qingchen both came out to receive the order.

Eunuch Wu looked at the two men and recited aloud, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: There is a woman named Qin Miaoxi, of exceptional talent and wisdom. She has repeatedly made remarkable achievements in solving criminal cases, alleviating the country's hidden worries and calming the people's anxieties. Her achievements are remarkable, and I commend her greatly. I hereby confer the title of County Master, grant her the Mashang Mansion as her fiefdom, and allow her to establish a government office. From this day forward, she shall receive the emperor's great grace and preside over the administration of her fiefdom. I hope she will uphold loyalty and righteousness, bring benefits to her hometown, and live up to my expectations. I decree this!"

Qin Miaoxi and Lu Qingchen exchanged a glance, then knelt down together to express their gratitude: "Your humble servants thank the Lord for His great grace. Long live the Emperor."

Lu Qingchen raged inwardly, "You bastard emperor, you had to interrupt me when I was so happy. You must have done it on purpose!"

Qin Miaoxi lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips. They almost got married just now, no wonder this guy was so resentful.

Eunuch Wu was all smiles as he held the imperial edict in both hands and handed it to Qin Miaoxi, congratulating her: "I congratulate the young marquis and the county lady on their happy marriage. This is a match made in heaven. May you two live in harmony and live long and long lives together."

Lu Qingchen laughed loudly, then took out a bulging red envelope from his arms and stuffed it directly into Eunuch Wu's palm.

"You have come at the right time, sir. This wedding wine cannot be without you. I must invite you to come and enjoy it."

Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I, this old servant, will shamelessly share in your happiness."

As he spoke, he looked cautiously at the little eunuch who was hanging his head beside him.

Qin Miaoxi carefully put away the imperial edict, and together with Lu Qingchen, she led Eunuch Wu into the mansion.

The palace was decorated with lights and red silk fluttering in the wind. Although the matter of receiving the imperial edict delayed them for a while, the festive atmosphere was not diminished at all.

When the guests saw the two men returning, they gathered around to congratulate them.

Lu Qingchen responded to the greetings one by one, handling the situation with ease, while Qin Miaoxi smiled sweetly beside him.

The bridesmaid beside them quickly reminded: "It's time for the newlyweds to pay their respects!"

Lu Qingchen finally came to his senses and slowly knelt down with Qin Miaoxi, performing the three bows.

The ceremony had just ended, and before the matchmaker could call for the bride to enter the bridal chamber, a loud noise was heard outside the door again.

"I'm his father, let me in."

"Who is making the noise outside?"

Everyone was full of doubts and looked towards the door.

Lu Qingchen had excellent hearing and instantly recognized that it was the voices of Lu Yuande and Zhao.

He gnashed his teeth in anger and lowered his voice to ask angrily, "Why are they here? Aren't they supposed to be kept under close watch? Which loser can't even keep an eye on a person?"

Before this, he had solemnly instructed that the family must be kept under close watch and not be allowed to disrupt his marriage.

Wen Zhu quickly responded, "Master! I'll go out right now and chase them away."

However, before Wen Zhu could take any action, the guests were attracted by the noise and followed the sound. Many of them were waiting to see the excitement in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

"These bastards better not give me the chance."

Lu Qingchen cursed as he hurriedly followed.

Eunuch Wu was at the back, his brows furrowed. Seeing this, the young eunuch beside him lowered his voice and said coldly, "Follow me."

Eunuch Wu's expression froze, and he immediately stepped forward and followed closely.

The rest of the people were still hesitating, but seeing this, they no longer hesitated and quickly followed.

Outside the mansion, Lu Yuande and Zhao were stopped by the servants, but they continued to shout and curse.

Lu Yuande's face was flushed and his eyes were bloodshot. He had obviously drunk quite a bit of wine. He waved his arms and shouted, "Lu Qingchen, you unfilial son! How dare you not invite me to your wedding today!"

Zhao shrieked in agreement, "That's right, the master is your father after all, how can you treat him like this!"

Lu Yuande seemed to be possessed by a spirit of drama, and immediately responded by shouting, "Is it this woman who is trying to sow discord, you vicious woman."

Many people gathered around, pointing and whispering at Lu Qingchen and the others.

Everyone can see what kind of person Lu Yuande is, and the rift between him and Lu Qingchen is also well known.

However, when Lu Qingchen got married, she did not invite Lu Yuande and even expelled his family from the Marquis' Mansion. Such behavior was truly against moral principles and could be considered a heinous act.

Lu Qingchen hurried to the door, his face terribly gloomy. He glared at Lu Yuande and Zhao, "You..."

"How dare you! You are such bold and unruly people! How dare you question the county lady? This is a crime of great disrespect, tantamount to questioning the emperor. Come! Quickly drag them away and take them to the Dali Temple to await your punishment."

Before Lu Qingchen had a chance to speak, Eunuch Wu impatiently took the lead and ordered his servants to forcibly take the two away.

Lu Qingchen and all the guests were extremely shocked and turned their eyes to Eunuch Wu.

As a close confidant of the Emperor, Eunuch Wu's words undoubtedly conveyed the Emperor's will. His full support for the young Marquis meant that the young Marquis and the Princess held a special place in the Emperor's heart.

In an instant, everyone felt mixed emotions, and couldn't help but look at the newly married young marquis and his wife differently, with even more awe and suspicion.

Lu Qingchen came back to her senses and bowed slightly to Eunuch Wu: "Thank you for your help, Eunuch. However, I am really terrified that you and His Majesty have troubled me with such a family matter."

Eunuch Wu narrowed his eyes, a faint smile on his face: "Young Marquis, you are too polite. Your marriage to the county lady is a major event in the capital. The emperor cares deeply about this and will naturally not tolerate any small-time troublemakers."

After saying this, he looked around and raised his voice: "Today is the wedding day of the young marquis and the county lady. Everyone should not let these irrelevant people disturb their mood. Just drink to your heart's content."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly responded, but their eyes still wandered to Lu Qingchen from time to time.

"Young Marquis, I still need to serve His Majesty, so I will take my leave now."

Lu Qingchen respectfully escorted him out the door, "Eunuch Wu, please wait!"

Eunuch Wu quickly boarded the carriage, and the young eunuch beside him hurried to follow.

The moment the curtain fell, the smile on his face was instantly replaced by doubt, and he immediately asked the young eunuch respectfully: "Sir, are you going back to the palace now?"

The young eunuch said in a hoarse voice, "No need."

Seeing that the other party closed his eyes to rest, Eunuch Wu didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing the distinguished person.

The scene in the palace suddenly emerged in his mind: the emperor had seized upon the young marquis's several mistakes and was about to strip him of his position in the Dali Temple. However, with just one sentence, the situation took a dramatic turn.

"I heard that Your Majesty recently found a gold mountain? And you've even mined gold. How did Your Majesty find this precious place?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor fell silent.

The clue to Jinshan was originally provided by Lu Qingchen. If I insist on dismissing him now, it would make me appear narrow-minded and without magnanimity.

Eunuch Wu couldn't help but sigh. The only ones who could make the emperor change his ways were the four imperial guards, and the one who spoke out to stop him this time was none other than Lord Suzaku.
