The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy
Chapter 90: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Inside the clinic, Shan Yu was soaking in a medicinal bath. The blood from acupuncture was dark black, and soon the medicinal bath was dyed black.
"Doctor, do I need to change the water?"
"No need. Just wait until all the poisonous blood in his body is released before changing the potion. After that, he will recover with more rest. It's nothing serious."
With the doctor's words, Lu Qingchen felt relieved.
"Wen Zhu, go to the Honglu Temple and have someone come over to take care of this Jie prince. Don't let him run around."
Lu Qingchen's last sentence sounded very serious, and there was always a sense of hidden meaning in it.
After finishing all this, he prepared to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to wash up. He wanted to meet Qin Miaoxi in the best possible appearance.
However, on the way, he received many strange blessings from people, "Young Marquis, congratulations!"
He grabbed one of them and asked, "What are you congratulating me for?"
"You're getting married soon! Of course we have to congratulate you."
As a man who spends a lot of money in Jingzhao, Lu Qingchen is a distinguished guest of this street. How can he not send his blessings!
Lu Qingchen blushed slightly, "Since you all know that I'm getting married, come and have a drink on the wedding day!"
"Of course. I wish the young marquis and Princess Xinglan a happy marriage and a long-lasting love."
"Wait, who is this duke and I?"
"Princess Xinglan!"
"Bullshit! The person I want to marry is Qin the coroner from the Dali Temple."
He left in a rage, and then found that the ridiculous discussion could be heard all over the street.
He angrily beat up those who talked nonsense, and finally found out that those words came from the old man's mouth. He returned to the Marquis' Mansion without stopping.
Lu Qingchen came over angrily and demanded to know the truth, "You are the one spreading rumors. When did I ever say I wanted to marry Princess Xinglan?"
Lu Yuande was admiring the items he had purchased. It had been a long time since he had touched something of such quality. It was true that good things were hard to put down.
"How old are you and still not married? The fact that Princess Xinglan is attracted to you is a blessing you've earned in eight lifetimes."
"If you want to marry me, you marry me. I will never marry you."
"Now that the betrothal gifts have been paid, I have no choice but to marry her."
Lu Qingchen sneered, "Dowry? Is that the betrothal gift Lu Shiya gave you?"
"presumptuous!"
Just as the two were getting anxious, a servant rushed in and interrupted them, "Master, Marquis, the eunuch from the palace is here to deliver the imperial edict."
When Lu Yuande thought of Lu Shiya's promise, he was delighted and ran towards the gate quickly.
When Eunuch Wu saw Lu Yuande smiling at him obscenely, he became more and more displeased with him. It was not until Lu Qingchen arrived that he forced a smile.
"Young Marquis, are you ready?"
"Well, sir, you can announce the decree."
"Wait, it's not appropriate for you to stand here. Go to the back." Lu Yuande took the place where Lu Qingchen was standing and said to Eunuch Wu with a flattering smile: "Eunuch, it's okay now, you can start."
Eunuch Wu was immediately disgusted by his actions and did not bother to correct him. He just wanted to announce the decree quickly and return to the palace.
"Marquis Xuanping Lu Qingchen receives the imperial decree! By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:..."
After Eunuch Wu finished reading the imperial edict, Lu Qingchen was overjoyed and presented him with a big red envelope.
"Eunuch Wu, you've worked so hard! This is just a small gift, not a token of respect, but I hope you'll accept it."
Eunuch Wu did not refuse, but whispered to Lu Qingchen, "The emperor is very angry this time. How could you spread rumors about you and Princess Xinglan?"
Lu Qingchen blinked innocently, "How should I know? I haven't explained it to Xiao Xixi yet! If she misunderstands, I'll be in trouble."
Eunuch Wu couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "Young Marquis, there are still people you are afraid of!"
Lu Qingchen nodded helplessly. "Eunuch Wu, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I've been fearless since I was a child. Besides the Emperor, I'm afraid of her. If I'm not careful and make her unhappy, I might die at her hands one day, leaving nothing but a pile of bones exposed in the wilderness."
-------------------------------------
"He really said that?"
The emperor asked with a gossipy look on his face.
Eunuch Wu nodded cheerfully, "That's right! Speaking of that woman, the young marquis was filled with grievances and had nowhere to vent them. He even held onto this servant and cried for quite a while!"
The emperor was delighted to hear this, "That boy has really found himself a wonderful woman."
"Yes! And then there's the young marquis's eccentric father. He was so enthusiastic before receiving the imperial edict that anyone who didn't know would have thought it was for him. But after receiving it, he acted like his mother had died. It was so ridiculous."
The emperor was very pleased to hear this and was happy to issue this imperial decree!
Eunuch Wu carefully watched the emperor's expression. If he said something that the emperor didn't want to hear, he would definitely be beaten. As the saying goes, serving before the emperor is like an ant beside a dragon.
At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Lu Shiya came to the door with the palace soldiers. After asking about their purpose, the gatekeeper took them to Lu Yuande's yard without hesitation.
"Princess, Master Lu and the Lu family are all in this courtyard, and that is the Marquis's. The two courtyards are not connected."
Lu Shiya understood what he meant and ordered directly: "Go and break down the door for me."
The palace soldiers were extremely powerful. They demolished the gate in no time and the group rushed in.
Screams echoed through the courtyard. Zhao single-handedly stopped them and threatened, "Who are you? You're trespassing into the mansion. We're going to report you to the authorities."
Lu Shiya walked in and sat domineeringly in the middle of the courtyard, "Go! This princess was just about to report it to the authorities. I wonder what the government will say about Lu Yuande's death due to marriage fraud!"
Zhao was angry but dared not speak, but she was more afraid after seeing her.
Lu Shiya sneered. It seemed that this woman also knew the inside story!
"Where's Lu Yuande? Could it be that he cheated this princess out of her money and absconded out of fear of punishment?"
"No, no! Princess, I'm here!"
Lu Yuande, who was hiding in the house, immediately rolled out when he heard Lu Shiya calling him by name.
That’s right, he rolled. Because he was too anxious, he tripped over the threshold when he went out, and fell to his knees in front of Lu Shiya.
"Oh! So you're still here! Then return the money!"
"Of course we will. It's Qingchen who has wronged you. Do you think we should go to him..."
"Did he take my silver?"
"Ah! Even though he didn't take it, I spent it on him!"
"I'll ask whoever took it for it. You deceived me first, my feelings, and then my money. I don't want more. Just return me 100,000 taels, and I won't care about anything else."
Lu Shiya kindly gave a number, and even felt that it was too little.
"One hundred thousand taels!?"
Lu Yuande exclaimed, "But I only took 50,000 taels!"
Lu Shiya's eyes darkened. "Do you think this princess can be toyed with at will?"
"No, of course not, but..."
"Since you don't have it, then bring the silver."
"Princess, I can't come up with so much money right now." Lu Yuande smiled flatteringly: "Princess, I still have a son who is much better than Lu Qingchen's son. What do you think about letting him marry into the Princess's Mansion?"
Lu Shiya spat in displeasure, "You're wasting my time. Come, take the things in the yard and sell them. When you've sold enough for 100,000 taels, stop."
"Yes, county lord."
No matter how these people cried and screamed, Lu Shiya left without looking back. It would be lowering her own style to get entangled with them.
After getting rid of those scoundrels, Lu Shiya walked directly into the courtyard next door, kicked the gate open without any hesitation, and cursed at the man squatting in the corner: "You've been listening to me in the corner for so long, but you didn't even open the door for me? What's wrong? Am I not worthy of this?"
Lu Qingchen chuckled foolishly twice, then crawled to his feet and patted the dust off his robe.
"And you, your master is unreliable, don't you know how to remind him?"
Lu Shiya immediately launched an indiscriminate attack. Not only Lu Qingchen was killed, but even the law-abiding Wen Zhu could not escape.
She said with disdain, "I don't know what Xiao Qinzi likes about you?"
Lu Qingchen smiled proudly, "She has good taste, but you are blind to the value of gold and jade."
“Tsk tsk!”
Wen Zhu stared at the two of them in a daze. When did the master become so close to Princess Xinglan? Didn't he look down on her before?
"My Lady Princess performed well. I really didn't choose the wrong person."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Lu Shiya spread her hands and said, "I helped you cheat the person, but where is the thing I want?"
Lu Qingchen quickly asked Wen Zhu to come into the house and take out the things he had brought back specially, which was a red sandalwood box...
"Tianshan Snow Lotus!"
Lu Shiya took the box in shock. As soon as her hands touched the box, she began to tremble uncontrollably, her face full of disbelief.
"This is something I've been looking for for a long time. I'm sincere, right?"
Lu Shiya looked at him in surprise, their eyes met in the air, and some things were no longer a secret.
She bowed deeply to Lu Qingchen and said, "I thank the young marquis on behalf of my father."
