The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 340: Ghost Wall, Hanging Coffin

Qin Miaoxi looked at the three of them with puzzled eyes. The three of them had always been suspicious, so how could they come together to speak with one voice this time?

【Junior Sister, why are you looking at me like that? 】

[Could it be that Junior Sister has thought of something again? ]

? ?

What are they afraid of thinking?

Just when she was confused, she heard Xia Liqian's voice.

[I heard that my brother-in-law passed away. I can't let my junior sister be sad anymore.]

Qin Miaoxi suddenly realized that her senior brothers and sisters were worried about her. No wonder they wanted to drive her away, fearing that she was holding on too hard!

"Senior Brothers and Sisters, that young marquis..."

"Little Junior Sister, please stop talking. We all know about your brother-in-law's affairs... You've already dealt with your enemies. There's nothing much for me, my senior brothers and sisters, to help you with. Spend these as you please."

After saying that, he stuffed several stacks of banknotes into her hands without any explanation. He learned this trick from his senior brother.

Qin Miaoxi's eyes lit up again and again. So many banknotes! Senior brothers and sisters are really rich.

Just as he was about to take back the banknote, Xia Liqian suddenly held his hand and said, "Wait, now that your brother-in-law is gone, your good fortune won't come back, will it?"

Qin Miaoxi was shocked, "No way?"

She hadn't felt the bad luck of losing money for a long time, and she had been living a carefree and carefree life. If she could go back to the past...

Wait! Lu Qingchen wasn't dead, why was she scaring herself?

Xia Liqian asked her to write a random word, but was relieved by the result. "It seems that getting married has ruined my luck. Junior Sister's fortune has not returned to normal."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Qin Miaoxi gave a dry laugh, laughed with them twice, and left in a hurry.

Only after she completely left did Xie Baiyan heave a sigh of relief, "This girl is finally gone."

Fu Yifan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Third Junior Sister, have you figured out something?"

"I have figured it out, senior brother! I'd like to trouble you to go to the border. Our brother-in-law still needs help." Xia Li curled the corners of his mouth with a faint smile.

Xie Baiyan blinked, "Really? Is my brother-in-law okay?"

"It's not that he's okay. If you don't leave quickly, it won't be that simple." Xia Liqian said it lightly, but the meaning behind his words was not simple.

"...You didn't tell me earlier."

After saying that, he ran out the door in a hurry.

Back at the Marquis's residence, the housekeeper came with a bunch of things and asked, "Madam, how should we prepare for the Marquis's funeral?"

"Just a simple arrangement will suffice. The Emperor is not feeling well right now, so a grand ceremony would be more trouble than good."

Qin Miaoxi took a quick look, put the complicated documents aside, and gently rubbed her brows where her head was splitting with pain.

The butler looked around for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Madam, the Marquis..."

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Although she has returned, the border is not only related to Lu Qingchen's safety, but also to the stability of Longyuan Kingdom. Even if she is angry, she will not act impulsively. She has already arranged people to guard there and report back immediately if there is any movement.

"I'll look at these tomorrow, you can leave now!"

The housekeeper hesitantly said, "Madam, the Second Prince sent an invitation today, inviting you to a chat at Penglai Cottage tomorrow."

"Second Prince?" Qin Miaoxi held the invitation thoughtfully.

"Correct."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"There are rumors that the Queen is looking to find a consort for the Second Prince."

Qin Miaoxi rolled her eyes in an uncouth manner. No matter how hard she tried, it couldn't be because of this. The Empress must be crazy to let the Second Prince see a widow, and moreover, the widow of a marquis in the court.

"Say something useful."

"The Second Prince may want to seek your help for treatment."

? ?

"The Imperial Hospital has many famous doctors, why are you looking for me?"

The second prince has been weak and sickly since childhood. He can detoxify himself, but the methods of nourishing the body are the same as before, so there will not be much change, and nothing can be changed.

"This little one doesn't know."

Qin Miaoxi waved at him and sat at the table thinking alone.

Boom boom boom!

Zi Yan pushed the door open and walked in. "Miss, you haven't rested yet?"

"How is the Third Prince's faction doing now?"

"The General has learned of the Third Prince's death and Concubine Jing's demotion to a commoner, but he hasn't taken any action yet. Officials from the Third Prince's faction have either resigned or been demoted, like a flood or a beast, no one dares to touch them."

"The eldest prince didn't recruit these people for his own use?"

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This time the eldest prince finally had some brains!

Zi Yan pursed her lips and explained with a strange look on her face, "It's not that the eldest prince doesn't want to, but that he can't."

"what happened?"

Zi Yan slowly explained, "The First and Fourth Princes have been jointly handling government affairs these past few days. The day before yesterday, the First Prince was discussing military affairs with the Minister of War. Unexpectedly, he encountered a ghost wall on his way back to the palace at night. When we found him, he appeared in a hanging coffin outside the city."

"Hanging coffin?"

"That's Shimen Village's unique burial method. The coffin is hung on a rock wall in the shade, supported by two wooden stakes underneath."

"Why is the eldest prince there?"

"I don't know. The Royal Guards tracked him all the way to the cliff and heard strange noises below. That's when they discovered the eldest prince lying in the coffin."

Zi Yan frowned. "When the eldest prince was rescued, his body was covered in bruises and he was unconscious. He kept saying he was trapped in a maze. The imperial physician examined him and found that the injuries were caused by a fall, not a beating."

"Then how did he end up in the hanging coffin?"

It was on a steep cliff, and if you were not careful you would be smashed to pieces, not to mention such a coincidence that you fell into a coffin opened with a space.

Zi Yan hesitated for a moment. "According to the eldest prince's maid, he had a nightmare about a ghost coming to take his life. He was taken into the coffin by the ghost."

"This is impossible."

If ghosts really existed in the world, they would just kill people directly. Why would they use such a roundabout way to kill people?

"The case has been transferred to the Dali Temple. If you are curious, you can ask Lord Liang for details."

Qin Miaoxi nodded, "Does the emperor know about this?"

"News has come from the palace that although the Emperor is conscious, the poison in his body has not been completely eliminated, and he is not strong enough to attend court and handle state affairs. The Empress was afraid that the Emperor would overthink this, so she did not inform him of this matter."

"Well, that's fine." She also instructed, "Have the people in the Grand Prince's Mansion keep a close eye on him. If the Grand Prince says anything else, record it in detail."

"Yes."

For the next three days, Qin Miaoxi was busy taking care of Lu Qingchen's funeral.

Perhaps because the Xuanping Marquisate had lost its power, very few people came.

"Miss, you are tired, go and rest!"

"No, I'll stay a while."

At this time, the housekeeper came running over, "Madam, the second prince is here."

he?

"Please come in, Second Prince!"

After a while, a thin man with a sickly pale face walked in, supported by guards.

His handsome face was pale, and he looked sick and had no strength. He gasped after taking two steps, and looked like he would not live long.

"I have met His Highness the Second Highness."

"Ma'am, please get up!"

The second prince reached out to support her, but Qin Miaoxi dodged him without leaving a trace.

The Second Prince was stunned for a moment. After burning incense, he asked directly, "Why didn't the Marquis' wife come that day?"
