The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

That night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the eaves of Jingzhao City, reflecting a cool glow.

Qin Miaoxi was about to undress for bed, but just as her fingers touched her belt, she paused. Her gaze narrowed slightly, and then she calmly walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured a cup of hot tea.

The aroma of tea rises and lingers in the air.

She put down the teapot, took an empty cup, and gently pushed it across the table. Her tone was soft and calm: "The night is cold, why don't you come down and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

The room was silent, with only the flickering candlelight illuminating her peaceful face.

A moment later, a light laugh came from the beam, and then a black shadow descended as lightly as a swallow and sat steadily opposite her.

The woman, dressed in black, her face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, which were filled with a hint of amusement. "Madam Hou is indeed perceptive. I thought I was hiding very well, but you still found me."

Qin Miaoxi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying calmly: "Please enjoy!"

The man in black didn't suspect anything and reached out to pick up the teacup and drank it all. Qin Miaoxi raised an eyebrow at this and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I might poison your tea?"

The man in black chuckled softly, his fingertips gently rubbing the rim of the cup: "Madam Hou used the finest Dahongpao tea to entertain us. If you poisoned it, wouldn't that be a waste of this pot of good tea?"

Qin Miaoxi glanced at her deeply. "Your Excellency, you are visiting me so late at night. I bet you are not here to chat and drink tea with me. Why not get straight to the point and state your purpose?"

The man in black put down his teacup, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a hint of curiosity: "How did you provoke Xiao Yan?"

Qin Miaoxi was stunned. She didn't expect that she was asking about the Poison King. She couldn't help but let out a faint smile: "That's an interesting senior."

The man in black frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with her answer. "Interesting? Do you know who he is? He's the feared Poison King Xiao Yan! If you mess with him, it won't be a good thing. Don't be so stubborn."

Qin Miaoxi smiled indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, but I know my limits."

Seeing her so calm, the man in black had a thousand words in his heart, but he could only sigh and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table: "You...be careful!"

After saying that, she pushed open the door and slipped into the darkness.

Qin Miaoxi looked at the bottle on the table in surprise. After opening it, she was immediately hit by a refreshing fragrance. It turned out to be the long-lost purple gold ingot that could cure all poisons.

After putting the porcelain bottle away, although she didn't understand who the person in black was, Qin Miaoxi felt that she had no ill intentions, so she didn't take it to heart.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Qin Miaoxi deliberately avoided Lu Shiya and Ye Lingrong and went to the slums alone again.

She walked to the old man's corner with ease, squatted down, and gently placed a piece of silver into his broken bowl.

"Old man, have you seen this woman?" she unfolded the portrait and asked gently.

The old man raised his head and looked at him in surprise. A gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he shook his head blankly, "I haven't seen it."

Qin Miaoxi didn't say much, but handed him the bag she had prepared, stood up and left without saying anything.

When the old man opened it, he saw a bag of food and stared at her leaving back in a daze.

When the beggars nearby saw so many things, they couldn't help but show a look of desire in their eyes, but no one dared to step forward to grab them. It was not until the old man waved to several children in the crowd and distributed the things to them that those people dared to gradually come over and wait for distribution.

Soon the things were distributed. The old man put the silver ingot into his arms, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Interesting!"

On the other side, Qin Miaoxi had just taken a few steps when she met the man who had rashly helped her block the poison arrow yesterday.

At this moment, the man's face was pale and he was being supported by his servants. It was obvious that the poison had not been completely eliminated. But when he saw Qin Miaoxi, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Woman, were you the one who saved me yesterday?" The man stepped forward, his tone filled with condescending expectations.

The servant beside him hurriedly said, "Second Master, this woman is trying to violate you."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

The corners of her mouth twitched as she looked up at the sky and replied coldly, "No."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and tried to leave, but the man stopped her and said arrogantly, "Since you saved me, I allow you to love me. No, I will mercifully let you follow me."

Qin Miaoxi laughed out of anger, not understanding where this man got his self-righteousness from.

Seeing her silent, the man chuckled inwardly: "Little guy, are you completely captivated by me?! Since you're good-looking, letting me get into your bed is the greatest favor I can do you."

Qin Miaoxi couldn't stand it any longer, so she slapped him in the face with her backhand and said in a clear and loud voice: "Get out!"

She used all her strength to slap the man, but she didn't feel any better after that. She cursed inwardly, "What bad luck!" and walked away from the man.

The man was stunned by the beating and touched his beaten face stupidly, as if he had not yet reacted.

Seeing this, the servants on the side immediately rushed forward and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you hit my Second Master! I will teach you a lesson!"

However, the man raised his hand to stop the servant, a smug smile on his face: "What do you know? She's just throwing a tantrum with me. Didn't you see she even left a special mark on my face?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Master, you are right, women are always more thoughtful."

The two men's voices were not loud, but they all fell into the ears of Qin Miaoxi who was walking away. She suppressed the murderous desire in her heart, ignored the ridiculous remarks of the master and servant, and ran away quickly.

For the next two days, she came to the slums every day and repeated the same actions.

Finally, on the third day, the old man spoke, "Why did you do this?"

Qin Miaoxi smiled without saying anything. She put down the silver and the bag and was about to leave.

The old man's deep voice came from behind, "I... have seen her. She left with a man in gorgeous clothes."

Qin Miaoxi immediately turned back, a glint in her eyes, "Excuse me, where did she go?"

"Guanyi."

She thanked the old man solemnly, presented him with a gift, and then rushed to the inn without stopping.

A beggar approached and asked the old man in confusion, "Boss, why did you tell her?"

The old man smiled faintly and said nothing, but his hand fumbled in his sleeve.

The silver and food Qin Miaoxi brought were of secondary importance to him. The key was that every time she came, she exuded a unique fragrance. Miraculously, whenever he smelled it, the pain from his hidden illness would be alleviated.

Over the years, he had sought medical help everywhere and tried many methods, but his hidden illness had never improved. Who could have imagined that now, just by smelling the fragrance of this little woman, he could relieve his pain.

This is the real reason why he is willing to tell.
