The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

After Lu Qingchen left, Qin Miaoxi took Wang Xiangxiang back to Dali Temple for protection. The submission of that list would inevitably cause a huge uproar, and if she stayed in the Wang family, she would probably receive news of her death in less than a day.

As for the Wang family's mess, let the Ministry of Justice handle it!

"Xiao Qin, how about you come with me to report to the Emperor this time?" As I walked out of the Dali Temple gate, I came face to face with Liang Hongkai, who had changed into his court robes.

Qin Miaoxi refused without hesitation, "No, it's not appropriate for a woman like me to attend a court meeting."

"This is what His Majesty requested."

One sentence stopped her in her tracks, and her mind, which had been racing with thoughts, finally calmed down.

"Alright, please wait for me a moment, sir, while I change my clothes and come back."

She walked quickly back to the inner hall, instructing Ziyan to prepare a dress in the same color as her court robes, while she quickly wrote down seven or eight names on a piece of paper and whispered, "Send someone to keep a close eye on them. If they dare to make a move against the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, do not stop them. If necessary, lend them a hand."

Ziyan was shocked upon hearing this, her already stiff features becoming even more rigid. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Does Miss want to divorce the young master?"

"No, don't overthink it, just do as I say."

Although Qin Miaoxi said that, judging from her impatient expression, there must be a problem between the young lady and the young master. Should she tell the young lady's senior brother and sister about this?

Qin Miaoxi quickly changed her clothes and reminded him before leaving, "Keep an eye on Wen Zhu and tell him that the Marquis will be fine. Tell him not to act rashly and ruin things."

Ziyan immediately snapped to attention and loudly replied, "Yes."

Oh no, is this time they're going to take the whole family down with them? The son-in-law is so good to the young lady, what a pity!

-------------------------------------------------- ----

"Is the news accurate?"

"My lord, it is absolutely true. Marquis Xuanping is already on his way with the roster."

"Quickly, stop them! We must not let the Emperor see the list."

"What does Your Excellency mean... um?" The speaker gestured across his neck, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"If you have the ability to kill Marquis Xuanping, I will reward you with a great service."

The man chuckled twice, "Your subordinate will certainly find a way to help you overcome all difficulties, sir."

The same news reached many people, and a plan targeting Marquis Xuanping was tacitly carried out.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

Inside the palace, Liang Hongkai knelt in the main hall, where all was deathly silent.

Emperor Meiji's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on the memorials laid out before him, a chilling aura surging within them.

boom!

"Who gave them the audacity!"

Liang Hongkai kowtowed and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"Where is the list? I'd like to see who's so audacious."

"Your Majesty, I see that this matter is of great importance, so I went to the palace first to report it. Marquis Xuanping is interrogating the members of the Wang family, and I believe we will soon have the list of names."

"Is the Marquis of Xuanping asking?" Emperor Meiji's expression softened as he asked softly, "And what about the Marquis's wife?"

"Lady Hou is currently waiting to be summoned outside the palace."

Emperor Meiji's eyes flashed. "Summon her in."

Qin Miaoxi stood in the hall and looked at Emperor Meiji from a distance. She did not kneel down to pay her respects, but said calmly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"..." Compared to her nonchalant attitude, Liang Hongkai was jumping up and down in a panic. Was she out of her mind?

This couple is really something. I thought the young marquis was arrogant enough, but who knew his wives were even more so, each one more lawless than the last.

Emperor Meiji's gaze, sharp as an arrow tempered with ice, was fixed on the figure below the steps who refused to kneel. "Insolence! Why do you not kneel before me?"

Qin Miaoxi straightened her back and suddenly said in a rough, raspy voice, "Hasn't His Majesty already guessed it?"

Two gazes met suddenly in mid-air, everything understood without words.

Emperor Meiji suddenly burst into laughter, "Minister Liang, you may leave now!"

Just as Liang Hongkai was about to plead for mercy, Qin Miaoxi stopped him with a look. He kowtowed and left the hall, and even the eunuchs serving around him tactfully withdrew.

When only the two of them remained in the hall, Emperor Meiji cut to the chase and said, "Lord Genbu, I never expected you to be a coroner who runs a coffin shop."

"Your Majesty flatters me. I'm afraid you already know everything about the four of us, my fellow disciples." Qin Miaoxi raised an eyebrow, scoffing at his falsehood.

"Lord Xuanwu, you overestimate me. I only learned of your identity by chance."

Emperor Meiji wore a warm smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice. "However, I'm afraid that Lord Xuanwu marrying the current Marquis Xuanping is not in accordance with the regulations of the Four Imperial Guards?"

Qin Miaoxi retorted without hesitation, "Which law in Longyuan Kingdom stipulates that the Four Imperial Guards cannot marry officials of the court? Moreover, Marquis Xuanping has already donated his family property to the national treasury. He has neither power nor money. The things Your Majesty is worried about will not happen."

She paused, then suddenly scoffed, "Besides, His Majesty is incredibly insightful; he must have already made other preparations."

Exposed to his face, Emperor Meiji looked displeased, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the dragon throne, his face terribly gloomy.

"You all know?"

"Isn't this exactly why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Meiji's tightly furrowed brows smoothed out. "Aren't you afraid that Marquis Xuanping will blame you in the future?"

Qin Miaoxi said confidently, "He won't."

What makes you so sure?

"Because he will bring that roster and expose the corrupt officials in the court."

Her eyes were strikingly bright, possessing both certainty and an unyielding pride that inspired awe.

Emperor Meiji's heart sank as an invisible pressure surged forth like a tide, causing even the supreme ruler who held the reins of power to feel the urge to flee.

"Then I will wait and see."

The hall fell silent once again.

On the bustling street, the sounds of various vendors hawking their wares and the noise of vehicles created a cacophony.

Suddenly, several urgent shouts, tinged with impatience, came from beneath the curtain of the Marquis's carriage: "Why aren't we here yet? Hurry up!"

He didn't understand why his wife insisted on him riding in a carriage when riding a horse was clearly faster.

Hu~

The coachman shouted at the person in front, "Who are you? Do you know this is the Marquis's carriage!"

"My master has something to discuss with Marquis Xuanping. He would like to invite the young marquis to his residence for a chat."

The curtain was suddenly flung open, and Lu Qingchen glared at the newcomer and roared unhappily, "Get out of my way! Don't block my path."

"Young Marquis, please look at this before deciding whether to meet him or not." As he spoke, the man took out a brocade box, which immediately revealed a dazzling light when opened. The rare treasures were secondary; the most valuable thing was the land deed underneath.

"The land deeds for the ten shops surrounding Yunyin Pavilion?"
