The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 358: Prince Pu Xinnan

After leaving the Imperial Observatory, the scorching sun was extremely dazzling. Qin Miaoxi put her hands in front of her eyes. As soon as she regained her sight, she saw someone in a carriage in the distance staring at her direction.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, it was the second prince.

Why come again?

Without hesitation, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.

However, after only a few steps, he was stopped by a guard who saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings, Madam Marquis! My master invites you."

His attitude was respectful, and his words were forceful and unyielding.

Qin Miaoxi looked at him with a half-smile, "Shouldn't your master be in solitary confinement? Does His Majesty know that he has come out so openly?"

The guard's expression remained unchanged as he continued respectfully, "Madam, please move aside."

The smile on Qin Miaoxi's face faded. It seemed that this man would not give up until he achieved his goal, and there was no way to escape from this mess.

"Let's go!"

The carriage slowly drove out of the city. Qin Miaoxi lifted the curtain and looked at the gradually deserted streets. Her expression became indifferent. She ignored the Second Prince's fixed gaze and closed her eyes to rest as if no one was around.

The Second Prince sighed helplessly. After a slight collision, he said, "Madam, I was abrupt in my earlier actions. Please consider that it was an unintentional mistake and don't hold it against me."

Okay, okay, now even “I” is used, it seems like you have big plans.

Qin Miaoxi didn't move an inch, and without even opening her eyes, she said, "You are a prince. How dare a mere woman like me argue with you?"

The second prince laughed. From what she said, if she wasn't a woman, she really wouldn't bother with him. But he thought about his purpose this time.

He said solemnly, "Lord Xuanwu, I hope you can help me clear up the false accusations against me this time."

My heart was shocked and suddenly felt empty.

Qin Miaoxi's pupils shrank suddenly, "You called the wrong person."

"Lord Xuanwu, why don't you take a look at this thing before you say whether it is true or not." He pushed the jade pendant in front of him forward, and the jade pendant carved with an ancient totem was fully displayed in Qin Miaoxi's eyes.

Qin Miaoxi's eyes flickered as she stared at the jade pendant in a daze.

This was the master's personal jade pendant. He had told the four brothers and sisters that if anyone came looking for them with this jade pendant in the future, they must do their best to help them overcome the difficulties.

He raised his eyes and met the Second Prince's gaze. "So, Your Highness has known my true identity for a long time?"

"Yes."

Qin Miaoxi sneered, she was indeed a member of the royal family. If she were really the kind of person who tried to curry favor with the powerful, she would probably be stuck in the mud and unable to escape the royal cage.

"At present, His Majesty only suspects Your Highness. I believe that Your Highness and the Empress will not be able to find a way out with their own methods. Why would they use this jade pendant?"

"Madam Hou thinks I'm making a big deal out of nothing?"

The Second Prince seemed to be talking to himself, his eyes full of sincerity, "I am asking to marry you sincerely, not because of your status."

Qin Miaoxi sneered in her heart. She had never met the Second Prince, so how could he be so deeply in love with her? It was fine for her to just listen to the words of the royal family, but judging from his expression, he had even deceived herself.

"Now I just want to ask you one question: did you do this?"

Although she had her master's instructions, she also had her own principles and would not do anything that crossed her bottom line just for a jade pendant.

"No, it's well known that my physical condition cannot bear such a heavy burden. So what good would it do me to murder my eldest brother?"

Since she doesn't believe in herself, then I'll start from the perspective of interests, which will be more convincing.

Qin Miaoxi pondered for a moment, then nodded cautiously and said, "Okay, you don't need to worry about this."

She quickly took the jade pendant into her arms and warned, "Second Prince, you should know what you can and cannot say!"

"Yes, yes, I will never reveal the identity of Master Xuanwu."

Hearing this, Qin Miaoxi was finally satisfied. Naturally, the fewer people knew the true identities of the four imperial guards, the better. Otherwise, if another yellow list came out, she would be so angry that she would want to kill them.

Watching her get off the car neatly and swiftly, the second prince held the curtain open for a long time.

"Your Highness?"

The second prince's voice was very soft, like a feather passing by, with a tremor of loss and regret.

"Let's go!"

The curtain blocked the last helpless glance. What would have happened if he had encountered it earlier?

There is no way to know what will happen in the future. Qin Miaoxi carefully put away her master's jade pendant at this moment. The huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She couldn't help but feel annoyed that her master gave the jade pendant to someone so casually. Didn't he know that the other person was a prince?

What if he uses the jade pendant to threaten her to help him win the throne?

However, the Second Prince's matter is neither difficult nor difficult, but she has to think carefully about how to eliminate the emperor's doubts.

That night, an uninvited guest came to the eldest prince's bedroom.

The cool breeze blew the gauze of the bed curtains, and the surroundings were filled with cold air.

The eldest prince opened his eyes drowsily and saw a dark shadow standing beside the bed, staring at him with sharp eyes without blinking.

He instantly broke out in a cold sweat, "Who... who are you?"

The hazy bed curtain in front of me fell to the ground, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar mask.

"Xuan... Lord Xuanwu..."

The eldest prince stuttered and shrank his neck, trying his best to figure out why Lord Xuanwu came to see him?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head and my eyes widened in disbelief.

"Could it be that Master Xuanwu has taken a fancy to me? Otherwise, why would he come to see me in the middle of the night?!"

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

Where did Pu Xinnan come from?

"Pack up and come over."

She sneered, turned around and sat down in the outer room. If she looked at him for a second longer, she couldn't control the urge to stab him.

The eldest prince hurriedly put on his clothes, "Sir!"

He straightened his clothes, stood upright in front of Qin Miaoxi, and sat down on the chair next to her without thinking.

Qin Miaoxi's eyelids twitched wildly, and she immediately shouted, "You're looking for death, get over there!"

The eldest prince hadn't sat down firmly when his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He rolled and crawled to the chair farthest from her, and dared not have any messy thoughts anymore.

"Do you know why I came to see you?"

"No...don't know."

At this moment, the slight ripple that had risen in the eldest prince's heart had long since disappeared without a trace, and he dared not go beyond it.

"Who have you offended recently?"

The eldest prince was stunned and quickly explained: "No, I have always been law-abiding. How could I possibly offend anyone?"

Qin Miaoxi glanced at him and asked, "Then how did you get drugged?"

The eldest prince was speechless, "That's because Imperial Doctor Zhao is evil!"

"..."

Qin Miaoxi was speechless for a moment. He really dared to say that. Why didn’t he just say that he was kind?

Seeing that this guy had no wrinkles in his brain, it was useless to ask in a subtle way. She immediately got straight to the point and asked, "What is your relationship with the Ghost-Faced Judge?"

The eldest prince was suddenly horrified and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "My lord, this is not something you can say carelessly. How could a prince like me possibly know that kind of thief..."

His words were met with a cold stare, and he laughed dryly: "Anyway, I don't know him."

Qin Miaoxi stared at him deeply. She seemed to be able to hear her nervous heartbeat in the silent air, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead.

The eldest prince wiped the sweat from his face from time to time, and looked at him cautiously out of the corner of his eyes.

[What relationship do I have with the Ghost-Faced Judge? He's a wanted criminal, and I'm a noble prince.]

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the air around me has become two degrees colder.

"You...get out!"

"what!?"
