The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Qin Miaoxi was shocked. Throughout history, has the man ever prepared a dowry?

Lu Qingchen said as a matter of course: "Of course, your sect is far away in Kunlun Mountain, and your sisters and brothers are not in Jingzhao, so I should naturally arrange your marriage properly. Otherwise, how can I have the nerve to marry you?"

Suddenly, a warm feeling passed through Qin Miaoxi's heart. For the first time, she felt that the seemingly cynical young marquis actually had such a thoughtful side.

However, the next second, she heard the deafening voice of this guy.

[Little guy, are you completely fascinated by me? 】

He couldn't suppress the smug look on his face, and the touch of emotion in Qin Miaoxi's heart disappeared in an instant.

Qin Miaoxi said directly without any expression: "Since you are willing to prepare, then prepare more. It is never too little to get married."

Originally, he said this to anger him, but Lu Qingchen actually clapped his hands and cheered, "Our ideas are exactly the same. You also think it's not enough! I said to prepare more, but Wen Zhu refused to allow it. I think he has bad intentions and doesn't want me to have a good marriage."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and give you two more lists."

"Are you serious?"

"Extremely lucid."

At this time, Lu Qingchen wanted to try harder, but Qin Miaoxi would never give him this opportunity. She said decisively, "No, this is good enough."

Qin Miaoxi was afraid of him. This guy was really capable of doing something. If he put something earth-shattering in it, she would be terrified on the wedding day.

Her fate was to lose money, and whenever she thought about not being able to keep the betrothal gifts and dowry, she wanted to faint and let the marriage fail.

Thinking of this, she made the final decision, "It's decided. If you dare to add more, I won't marry you."

Seeing that Qin Miaoxi had made the decision, Lu Qingchen shrank his neck and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, waiting for him to secretly add the same thing.

But before he left, he said inexplicably: "If you receive any strange things from now on, don't be surprised."

Looking at his hurriedly leaving back, Qin Miaoxi's right eyelid twitched wildly. As the saying goes, left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster. Nothing bad will happen, right?

On this side, after Lu Qingchen had settled the betrothal gifts and dowry, she headed straight for the palace without any distractions.

When the emperor heard that Marquis Xuanping wanted to see him, he was a little surprised.

"This kid has been quite well behaved recently. Why did he suddenly come to see me? I wonder if he's here to help me?"

Eunuch Wu replied cautiously, "Your Majesty is wise. Ever since the young marquis donated his mother's dowry to the national treasury, he hasn't been out enjoying himself. He's been diligently working on cases at the Dali Temple all day. He even solved the moat skeleton case a few days ago!"

The emperor was surprised. "That's how it is. It seems that sending this kid to the Dali Temple was the right decision."

After reviewing the memorial in his hand, the emperor relaxed and ordered, "Let him in!"

Eunuch Wu agreed and trotted off to pick someone up.

When Lu Qingchen arrived at the main hall, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, great joy!"

The emperor was frightened by his fierce tiger operation and asked, "What's the good news?"

"I have discovered a gold mine where the country borders the Baiyue people."

The emperor stood up suddenly and asked, "What did you say? Gold mine?"

"Yes, it's in Dongou County."

The emperor walked up to him excitedly and asked, "What is the output?"

"I didn't know about that. My caravan happened to be there making some purchases. We heard from the local villagers that they could find gold in the mountains. So we went to check it out and discovered it was a gold mine. They didn't dare touch the emperor's things, so they immediately sent a message to me, asking me to tell the emperor the good news."

Lu Qingchen's words were ambiguous, and it didn't sound certain whether there was a gold mine or not, but that was why the emperor believed that he had nothing to hide and would report to the palace as soon as he had any news.

"Good, good! My dear, you really have brought me a big surprise."

The emperor was very pleased and waved his hand to reward him with a basket of gold, silver and jewelry.

After hearing this, Lu Qingchen kowtowed repeatedly and thanked him, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, but I don't want these gold, silver and jewelry. I want to ask Your Majesty for an imperial decree."

"Imperial decree?"

The emperor's expression instantly became alert. Gold, silver and jewelry could be presented casually, but imperial edicts were not.

"Correct."

Lu Qingchen's face flushed red, and he stammered, "Your Majesty, I would like to request an imperial decree granting marriage."

The emperor's solemn expression instantly turned into a hearty smile. "A marriage grant? You, a fool, want to get married too?"

Lu Qingchen protested dissatisfiedly, "Your Majesty, I have long been of marriageable age, but I just didn't have the right person before. Now I have found one, and I come to beg you!"

He spoke with a scoundrel air, which made the emperor feel even more at ease. He couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You rascal, which girl are you trying to harm?"

Eunuch Wu looked at him in surprise, and there was a little more awe in his eyes when he looked at Lu Qingchen.

"Your Majesty, this is not a disaster for the girl! I am not bad looking either!"

As he spoke, he tugged at his clothes shyly, looking quite unconfident, as if he was really afraid that the woman would look down on him.

It is rare to see such lack of confidence on the face of Jingzhao's number one playboy. It seems that he really cares about it.

The emperor became even more curious about the woman's identity. "Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me who she is. Otherwise, I won't grant you marriage."

"No, if you don't grant us the marriage, my marriage will definitely not be successful."

"Oh?"

Lu Qingchen seemed to have made up his mind before he said, "It's Qin the coroner from the Dali Temple."

The emperor's eyes widened in disbelief. "Coroner? A man?"

Now he finally understood why this guy said that the marriage couldn't be successful without a marriage agreement! But he couldn't even grant the marriage agreement! Longyuan Country was not yet open to same-sex marriage.

Lu Qingchen also widened his eyes, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Qin Miaoxi is a woman."

"Woman, or coroner?"

The Emperor immediately looked at Eunuch Wu, who quickly explained, "Your Majesty, the Dali Temple does have a highly skilled coroner, but he's a part-timer hired by Lord Liang. He only goes to the Dali Temple to help with investigations and autopsies when there's a case. He usually runs a paper-making shop and helps with funerals."

"She can perform autopsies and even funerals! My dear, this woman you've chosen has so many skills!"

Lu Qingchen raised her head proudly, as if she didn't sense the ridicule and sarcasm in the emperor's words.

"That's right, that's why I want to settle her down quickly. Otherwise, if someone snatches her away, I won't have anywhere to cry."

The emperor laughed heartily twice, thinking that he was overthinking it. How unlucky it was for a woman who often came into contact with corpses and had to handle funerals for others. Only he could regard her as a treasure.

Lu Qingchen looked at him expectantly, "Your Majesty, what about the marriage?"

"The imperial decree granting marriage is not something to be taken lightly. You should go back first!"

"Your Majesty!"

He wanted to fight for it again, but the emperor sent him away with just a few words.

Eunuch Wu brought the ginseng soup and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is the imperial decree granting the marriage that the young marquis requested to be issued?"
