The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

As the sky gradually darkened, the street lanterns lit up one after another, and the dim light sprinkled on the bluestone road, reflecting the shadows of passers-by.

Qin Miaoxi galloped on her horse, the sound of its hooves particularly clear in the quiet street. She gripped the reins tightly, staring straight ahead, her heart filled with anxiety.

Lu Qingchen followed closely behind her. Seeing her in such a hurry, he couldn't help but shout, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's okay to go back later, right?"

Qin Miaoxi didn't even turn her head. Her voice was low but with a hint of urgency: "Why did you come back so soon? The emperor didn't suspect anything, did he?"

As she asked, she tried to calm herself down and hide her inner anxiety with these irrelevant topics.

Lu Qingchen raised his eyebrows, a smug smile on his lips: "Don't worry, I came back with a large reward from the emperor. Not only did the emperor not doubt me, he also praised me for my ability! When we get back to the Marquis' Mansion, you can choose whatever you like, I will give it to you."

Qin Miaoxi had no intention of responding to his generosity. She just looked up at the sky with a frown.

Night fell, and it was much later than she had expected. She had thought she'd only be out for a short while, but she'd ended up staying out all day. Her heart tightened at the thought, and she couldn't help but tighten the reins a little more. The horse's pace quickened, and the sound of its hooves echoed like thunder through the empty streets.

Seeing this, Lu Qingchen had no choice but to hurry up and catch up, but she secretly muttered in her heart: [Who is in the Marquis' Mansion that makes her so anxious?]

When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she saw Zi Yan hurriedly coming to greet her, her face full of joy: "Miss, you are finally back! He..."

[He insisted on dragging his sick body back to Kunlun Mountain to deliver medicine, and no matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen!]

Qin Miaoxi didn't wait for her to finish her words, her expression changed, and she suddenly quickened her pace: "Where is he?"

"It's in the front hall!" Zi Yan hurriedly followed.

Lu Qingchen looked at the two of them blankly. Who is he?

I don't know why he suddenly had a gleam of light in his eyes. Could he be a bastard?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited and chased after him.

When they rushed over, they saw Fu Yifan walking out with a pale face and a brocade box in his arms.

Qin Miaoxi's pupils shrank, and just as she was about to step forward, a strong wind suddenly rushed past from behind, almost knocking her over.

Lu Qingchen rushed over quickly, grabbed Fu Yifan and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in my mansion?"

Fu Yifan was stunned by Lu Qingchen's sudden questioning, and a trace of surprise appeared on his pale face.

He frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Qingchen calmly, but with a hint of weakness and tentativeness: "Are you the Marquis of Xuanping, the most dissolute man in Jingzhao?"

But just with this sentence, Fu Yifan felt a surge in his chest, a sweet taste in his throat, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Senior Brother!" Qin Miaoxi screamed in fright and hurried forward to support him.

Lu Qingchen was also startled by this sudden situation. He subconsciously let go of his hand and took a step back: "You... don't pretend! I didn't use any force!"

Qin Miaoxi immediately fed Fu Yifan the medicine. After seeing him swallow it, she laid him flat on the ground and quickly gave him a few injections. His complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only then did she have time to look at Lu Qingchen, and angrily scolded him, "Lu Qingchen! What are you doing? This is my senior brother!"

"Eldest brother?"

Lu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened. "What senior brother? How come I didn't know you had a senior brother?"

Qin Miaoxi gritted her teeth in anger: "I have a senior sister, so naturally I also have a senior brother. My senior brother has been poisoned and hasn't recovered yet, and you're so good, you've made him vomit blood as soon as you come up!"

Lu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "No, that... Wife, I didn't say anything? And I really didn't know he was your senior brother. I thought some unscrupulous person had sneaked into the mansion..."

"Someone of questionable character?"

Lu Qingchen was speechless after being scolded, and could only laugh dryly and apologize: "Um... Senior Brother, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it..."

Fu Yifan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "It's okay, it's my health that's not good enough, it has nothing to do with the young marquis."

Qin Miaoxi glared at Lu Qingchen, then turned to Fu Yifan and said, "Big Brother, ignore him. He's just a reckless man! Go back to your room and rest. I'll take care of the medicine."

Fu Yifan shook his head and refused, "The delivery of medicine cannot be delayed. You have important matters to attend to right now. I am the most suitable person to go."

Qin Miaoxi refused without hesitation, "No, how can you go on this journey like this? Your injuries haven't healed yet. If something happens on the way, how can I explain it to Master?"

Fu Yifan frowned, his voice weak but firm: "But if I don't go, who will deliver the snow lotus? Your senior sister is still waiting for it to save her life."

Qin Miaoxi was speechless for a moment and felt extremely anxious.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind: [Ding! Mission reminder: If you can find the real culprit within three days, the reward will be doubled.]

She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Can't you see I have more important things to do right now?"

However, the same cold voice answered her, "Solve the case within three days and the reward will be doubled."

She was so angry that her back teeth were grinding.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Lu Qingchen suddenly stood up, patted his chest, and said in a relaxed tone: "I finally understand. You want to send Xuelian, right? What's so difficult about that? I can do it."

Qin Miaoxi and Fu Yifan looked at him at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.

"You?" Qin Miaoxi frowned, "You can't!"

Lu Qingchen suddenly became anxious, "Why can't I do it?"

He puffed out his chest, looking unconvinced. "I'm the Marquis of Xuanping, the most capable person in Jingzhao...er, the most capable person! It's just delivering some medicine, what's so difficult about that?"

Qin Miaoxi rolled her eyes at him, her tone filled with helplessness: "You don't even know where Kunlun Mountain is, how can you send me there? Besides, the journey is long and dangerous, how can you, a pampered young marquis, handle it?"

When Lu Qingchen heard this, he immediately became unhappy and patted his chest: "Why can't I do it? I am an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. Who dares to stop me on the road? As for the road to Kunlun Mountain, I have a feng shui map! Besides, I, Lu Qingchen, have never seen anything. It's just delivering medicine, which is a small matter! I, Lu Qingchen, have always been reliable in doing things! Besides, I am my wife's husband. Her senior brother is my senior brother, and his business is my business! Right, my wife?"

At this moment, Fu Yifan gave him a deep look and said, "Young Marquis, please come closer."

Although Lu Qingchen was doubtful, he still walked over. However, Fu Yifan grabbed his hands, but it was only a light grip before he let go. When he looked at Lu Qingchen again, his eyes became firm. "In that case, then I'll trouble you, young marquis."

"Big Brother!"

Qin Miaoxi looked at him in surprise, and asked anxiously: "How could you let him go? He..."

Fu Yifan interrupted her with a smile, his tone gentle: "Junior Sister, since Young Marquis Lu is so sincere, we might as well trust him for once. Besides, you have more important things to deal with right now, don't you?"

Facing those unquestionable eyes, Qin Miaoxi was speechless for a moment. She turned to look at Lu Qingchen's playful face, still unsure, "Can you really do it?"

When Lu Qingchen heard this, he knew that the matter had been settled. He immediately smiled and patted his chest: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Qin Miaoxi looked at him, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and finally she handed the snow lotus over.

Lu Qingchen took the brocade box and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely send it safely to Kunlun Mountain."

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just whispered, "Be careful on the road."

Lu Qingchen grinned and waved his hand: "When I come back, remember to buy me a drink!"

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows proudly, turned around and strode away, humming a little tune, his back looking particularly tall and straight in the night.

Qin Miaoxi looked at his back, feeling inexplicably worried.

Fu Yifan looked at his back and said meaningfully, "Junior sister, although Young Marquis Lu has a whimsical personality, he has a kind heart. You have found a good husband."

Qin Miaoxi blushed and muttered softly, "He's just a reckless man, causing trouble all day long."

Fu Yifan smiled and said nothing more. He just patted her shoulder gently and said, "Okay, it's time for me to rest. Go ahead and do your thing. Don't delay the important things."

Qin Miaoxi gradually pulled her thoughts back to reality. With three days left to solve the case, she already had a new plan.
