The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 356 The real culprit behind the scenes is the second prince?

Suddenly, Lu Qingchen seemed to come to his senses and looked over with a scrutinizing look.

"You care about him?"

Qin Miaoxi nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, don't you admire him too?"

Suspicious eyes immediately turned around him, as if he would do something violent if he said no.

Lu Qingchen: "..."

He subconsciously shrank his neck. [Could it be that my wife is in love with the Ghost-Faced Judge? Otherwise, why would she be so concerned about his whereabouts?]

Qin Miaoxi blushed instantly when she heard this, and shyly slapped him on the shoulder, scolding him in a low voice: "What nonsense!"

? ?

Do you really like it?

Lu Qingchen realized that she didn't know her relationship with the Ghost-Faced Judge! So her feelings for him...were all fake?

Noticing the change in his expression, Qin Miaoxi looked at him twice in surprise.

What's wrong with this man?

Could it be that I have reached the age of changeability?

"Okay, I know you met your crush, but stop showing off, okay? You really deserve a beating."

The envy in her tone was about to overflow, and her bright eyes were so dazzling, but not for him.

Seeing that he was still angry, Qin Miaoxi felt a headache. She originally wanted to ask more about the Ghost-Faced Judge, but seeing his expression, she didn't want to say more.

She coughed lightly twice and changed the subject: "So the so-called yellow list letter we received at the border was actually written by you?"

Lu Qingchen said in a deep voice: "Yes."

"why?"

"Making fake death real."

"Haha! I held a funeral for you in Jingzhao, it was very real."

Lu Qingchen remained silent, unable to reveal the truth.

"Tell me about your next plan! Maybe I can help you." He put on that flattering smile again. Although his wife had deep feelings for the Ghost-Faced Judge, he was not bad either.

Qin Miaoxi looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid that people will find out you're still alive?"

"When the time comes, I will show up."

He paused and continued, "Let's resolve this matter sooner rather than later. I have an appointment with the Ghost-faced Judge."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes lit up without any surprise. "What appointment? No, don't tell me. The Ghost-faced Judge always comes out to punish evildoers. Why would he ask you out? Could it be that you..."

The brief silence caused the atmosphere to become tense. Qin Miaoxi's sharpness never disappoints.

"Did you see the fake Ghost-Faced Judge?"

"..."

Lu Qingchen laughed awkwardly twice, "It's not fake."

Then he took out the eye-catching judge's order from his bosom and whispered, "This is evidence."

Qin Miaoxi nodded with shining eyes and urged, "Put it away quickly."

"Ahem! I mean, I really have something to trouble you with."

She seemed to realize that her behavior was not reserved enough, and she immediately stated seriously the clues about the eldest prince's case and the fourth prince's strange behavior.

Lu Qingchen only bothered to listen for a moment before blurting out, "If he wants to confess in front of the emperor so badly, he must have sufficient evidence to prove his innocence."

"Yes, he wants to use this to clear his suspicion."

"Not only that, I'm also going to give you and Dali Temple some eye drops."

Qin Miaoxi nodded without comment. She didn't know the Fourth Prince's character, but as long as she could find out the evidence he was claiming, she would be able to convince him.

She wanted to muddy this stagnant water and see who was human and who was a ghost.

Lu Qingchen stared at her thoughtfully, "Aren't you afraid?"

He always had an inexplicable feeling that his wife was extremely courageous. Not only did she do the work of coroner that men dared not do, but she also remained calm and composed in front of court officials and even the emperor, which made people look at her with admiration.

Qin Miaoxi didn't hear his inner voice. If she knew, she would probably sneer at him. As an ordinary person, she would naturally be afraid of them, but her other identity would only make them afraid of her.

Although she said "oh" calmly, Lu Qingchen couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, I won't let the emperor make trouble for you."

Qin Miaoxi's heart suddenly jumped and began to beat uncontrollably.

"No, I have my own way."

While the two were talking, Liang Hongkai got off the carriage with a gloomy face.

Qin Miaoxi quickly kicked someone's calf, and a chuckle came from her ear, and the heat around her suddenly cooled down.

When she looked up, she was unexpectedly given a cold stare by Lord Liang. She took one glance and knew what was going on.

"The Fourth Prince produced his alibi and, by the way, turned the tables on Imperial Physician Zhao."

Liang Hongkai sighed, pursed his lips and complained, "You really knew, why did you let me go?"

Qin Miaoxi blinked innocently, "You are the Dali Temple Minister, if you don't go, should I go?"

Liang Hongkai: "..."

It seems to make sense, but...

"You should have told me in advance! I was completely unprepared."

"We are all going to be held accountable before the emperor. What else do we need to prepare?" Qin Miaoxi curled her lips, ignoring his pretense.

Given this old-fashioned man's style of doing things, the emperor would definitely find a way to bring up the matter of retiring and returning home when he was held accountable. If the emperor was angry and asked him to resign, that would be exactly what he wanted. Otherwise, he would not suffer any loss, so it would be most appropriate for him to do this.

Liang Hongkai coughed twice and said mysteriously, "Then you don't want to know what happened next?"

"While proving the Fourth Prince's innocence, we happened to find evidence of the real murderer."

"You guessed this too!?"

Liang Hongkai exclaimed, although it felt reasonable, it was also unexpected.

At the same time, it’s a pity that Qin Miaoxi is a girl, otherwise he would definitely train her well and give her his position after resigning. The Dali Temple has hope!

"Who is the murderer?"

"After Imperial Physician Zhao was accused of giving false testimony, he was immediately executed. The Emperor then sent the Imperial Guard to investigate the Zhao residence, where they indeed discovered gold, silver, and antiques."

He paused, then pondered, "Those things came from the Second Prince's mansion. I heard from the servants of the Zhao Mansion that the Second Prince often took his pulse with Imperial Physician Zhao in the study some time ago."

Hearing this, Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a man who was taking a pulse in the study. The words of the villain in the Zhao Mansion were interesting! He almost revealed what the two of them were secretly plotting.

"What does His Majesty say?"

Liang Hongkai shook his head, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and sighed, "What else can I say? The Zhao Mansion has been sealed off. The fact that they gave the prince the medicine alone is enough to kill them. Exile is the best outcome."

"What about the Second Prince?"

"The Emperor is furious and has summoned the Second Prince for questioning. The Second Prince vehemently denies this, stating that he went to the Zhao Residence to have Imperial Physician Zhao examine him. However, he cannot explain why his belongings were in the Zhao Residence. The Emperor has currently placed the Second Prince in solitary confinement."

After going around in circles, this comes back to the princes.

The eldest prince was murdered, the third prince died, the fifth prince was exiled, and only two princes were left.

As the legitimate son of the queen, the second prince, although weak and sickly, has more advantages in competing for the throne than the fourth prince, and it is not ruled out that he will fight for that position.

"Oh, I've been badly hurt by you this time."

Liang Hongkai's frown could kill a mosquito. He just wanted to retire peacefully and return home. Why was it so difficult for an old man to have such a small wish?
