The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

A woman emerged from behind them, dressed in a luxurious gown intricately embroidered with gold thread. Her every gesture exuded grace and elegance. She was accompanied by a haughty maid, her gaze stern, as if she held everything around her in disdain.

The moment Qin Miaoxi saw her, her eyes flashed and she was secretly surprised - it was her?

Although she didn't see the black-clothed man's appearance clearly at night, she still remembered his figure and the fragrance on his body. She didn't expect that he was not only the regent princess of Yanhuang Kingdom, but also knew the Poison King Xiao Yan.

Shi Xinzhe and Qiao Wei exchanged a glance, their eyes full of confusion. Obviously, they didn't recognize this noble lady who suddenly appeared.

The lady approached slowly, her eyes sweeping over several people, finally landing on Qin Miaoxi. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she winked at her quietly, a playful smile flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Wei couldn't help but step forward and asked respectfully, "Second Prince, may I ask who this lady is?"

The second prince seemed to be frightened by something at this moment. He lowered his head deeply and even forgot how to answer.

Instead, the maidservant beside the noble lady spoke coldly, with a hint of arrogance in her tone: "Our lady is the princess consort of the regent of Yanhuang Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xinzhe and the others were shocked and bowed in greeting: "Greetings, Princess!"

I knew that the Regent was leading the delegation this time, but I didn't expect that the Regent Princess would also come.

Although Qin Miaoxi had already suspected this, she was still surprised to hear the maid confirm it herself. She bowed her head slightly, and while doing so, she secretly studied the Regent Princess.

The princess waved her hand gently, her tone gentle but with undeniable authority: "No need to be so polite, everyone. I came here just to take a stroll, and I didn't expect to meet an old friend here."

When she said this, her eyes fell vaguely on Qin Miaoxi, with a meaningful smile at the corner of her lips.

Shi Xinzhe and Qiao Wei became even more confused after hearing this.

They looked at Qin Miaoxi, obviously not understanding when she had come into contact with the Regent Princess of Yanhuang Kingdom.

Qin Miaoxi, however, looked calm, as if she was not surprised by the princess' words.

She nodded slightly, her tone respectful but not overbearing: "Your Highness, you are so kind. It is my honor to meet you here."

The princess chuckled softly, her eyes filled with approval. "The Marquis's wife is indeed extremely intelligent. No wonder she is so famous in Jingzhao City."

The Second Prince finally came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward, his tone somewhat flattering: "I wonder if your Highness needs any service from me during your visit this time?"

The princess glanced at him indifferently, her tone distant: "Second Prince, you are too polite. I am just taking a casual walk, so there is no need to bother."

The second prince was somewhat embarrassed by her attitude. He stepped aside awkwardly and dared not say anything more.

Shi Xinzhe saw this and thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking, the princess suddenly glanced at Pan Di and said, "Since you are investigating a murder case, take this girl back and question her thoroughly! Our Yanhuang Nation will certainly cooperate fully."

When she said this, the Second Prince didn't dare to say a word. He lowered his head and smiled apologetically in response.

Shi Xinzhe and the other two were surprised. They had not expected the Regent Princess to be so easy to talk to. They immediately bowed and thanked her: "Thank you for your understanding, Princess. We will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Qin Miaoxi took Pan Di and prepared to return to the Dali Temple for detailed inquiries. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she heard the second prince's unwilling voice behind her.

[Hmph! Your Highness wants to see what you can find out!]

Qin Miaoxi suddenly turned around and looked directly at the Second Prince. Her tone was calm but with a hint of coldness: "Second Prince is unwilling?"

The Second Prince was stunned, clearly not expecting his thoughts to be seen through, and his expression suddenly turned grim. He forced a smile and said calmly, "What do you mean, Madam? How could I be unwilling?"

The princess glanced at him coldly, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Oh? What do you think, Second Prince?"

Meeting the Regent Princess's icy gaze, the Second Prince's face paled instantly, a layer of cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He quickly waved his hands, repeatedly saying, "I dare not, I dare not! I have absolutely no objection!"

The princess snorted coldly and said bluntly, "If that's the case, then get out of here and don't delay Madam Hou's investigation."

The second prince was scolded until his face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute. He could only retreat to the side with his servants in shame and didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing this, Qin Miaoxi secretly laughed in her heart, but her face remained calm. She nodded slightly to the princess and said respectfully, "Thank you, princess."

The princess nodded, her eyes full of meaning, "Madam, you are welcome. I have a humble request."

Qin Miaoxi was slightly stunned, then said, "Princess, please speak."

"I heard that this murder case involves that piece of Ruan Yunsha?"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Qin Miaoxi's eyes: "That's right."

The princess nodded slightly, her tone heavy, "Ruan Yunsha is a member of the Yanhuang Kingdom's royal family, and has been living abroad for many years. This time, she appeared in the home of a commoner woman in your Longyuan Kingdom. I suspect there is something else behind this, so I would like to participate in your investigation."

Qin Miaoxi pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Princess, I can't make the decision on this matter. Wait for me to ask for instructions before giving you a reply."

"it is good."

Qin Miaoxi then went to Shi Xinzhe to ask, and he whispered, "Of course, but Qin, the princess seems to be particularly fond of you?"

Qin Miaoxi smiled faintly, with a hint of mystery in her tone: "Maybe it's because I met her once before."

After hearing this, Shi Xinzhe still had some doubts in his heart, but seeing that Qin Miaoxi was unwilling to talk more, he stopped asking.

Qin Miaoxi turned around and told the princess about this. She said gratefully, "Thank you!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Pan Di, who was looking down with an obscure gaze, and an invisible trace of kindness flashed across her eyes.

Qin Miaoxi turned to look at Pan Di and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone, "Miss Pan Di, let's go. There are some things that I need you to explain in detail."

Pan Di nodded, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he finally followed Qin Miaoxi out of the inn.

The second prince stood in the distance, looking at their backs, with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Soon, Qin Miaoxi and his group returned to the yamen.

Qin Miaoxi brought Pan Di to the interrogation room, motioned for her to sit down, and asked in a deep voice, "Miss Pan Di, who was the enemy you just mentioned?"

Pan Di hung his head, still hesitant, so she pressed on, "Also, when you first learned something might have happened at home, the first thing you asked was if something had happened to your brother. Why were you so sure it was your brother, and not your mother or your father?"

Pan Di finally stopped hiding it. Wiping away her tears, she said, "My brother was spoiled by our parents and was uneducated. As a result, he often used the family's money to gamble. Many times, people from the gambling house blocked our house and demanded the money. My mother sold me to repay him. A few days ago, when I was returning to the inn with the Second Prince, my brother stopped me. He asked me for money in the street. When I learned that he was gambling again, I said a few more words, but he wanted to hit me. The Second Prince saw it and had him beaten up. And then... Woohoo! How did they die?"

Qin Miaoxi digested her words. Her brother was a gambler and the second prince had even beaten him.

"Do you know that your mother is cheating people in the city?" She suddenly changed the subject, which made Pan Di stunned.

She lowered her head and said bitterly, "I know. All the money mother earned was given to my brother."

Qin Miaoxi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the Regent Princess standing beside her. The Princess nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

Looking at her deeply, Qin Miaoxi said, "Do your parents value your brother more?"

Pan Di nodded, "My younger brother is a son. He can carry on the family line, so he is naturally important."

"So this cloth belongs to your brother?"

As she spoke, Qin Miaoxi took out a piece of soft cloth. Pan Di's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it. "This is mine."
