The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 414 Dejected! A Huge Misunderstanding

"What's going on? Didn't the Marquis already take the antidote?"

Qin Miaoxi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, glaring at Wen Zhu with displeasure, "Why are you still coughing so badly?"

Lu Qingchen first gave Wen Zhu a warning glance, then explained with a smile, "It's nothing, I just choked on my own saliva."

"You don't need to tell me, Wenzhu!"

Wen Zhu composed herself and answered truthfully, "Madam, the master didn't sleep a wink all night. He rushed back to see you as soon as he found an embroiderer to make the dragon robe."

Qin Miaoxi sneered at Lu Qingchen, "Did you choke on your saliva?"

"Wife, I came back so quickly to tell you! The embroiderer is dead."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Miaoxi immediately shifted her attention.

"died."

"Yes, when we arrived, her family said she died yesterday because she accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms."

"What a coincidence?"

Lu Qingchen said solemnly, "It's not a coincidence. According to the people at the Embroidery Bureau, she never eats mushrooms."

"Murder? Are there any other clues?"

Lu Qingchen shook his head regretfully, "We were too late. The body had already been buried, and there were no more clues."

"That's not necessarily true. The embroiderer's death itself is an important clue; someone is trying to cover something up."

Qin Miaoxi comforted him, "It's already quite an achievement to have found this out. I've prepared a medicinal bath for you, so you can rest early."

However, Lu Qingchen blushed as he looked at her.

? ?

"Young Master Marquis?"

Lu Qingchen coughed twice, clutching his chest. "Wenzhu, what are you standing there for? Quickly help me back to my dorm."

Wen Zhu glanced at Qin Miaoxi carefully, then hurriedly stepped forward and led her away.

Qin Miaoxi frowned. "What kind of look was that?"

Ziyan watched the two figures leave and coldly commented, "Sleazy and ill-intentioned."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

Vivid and authentic.

When she returned to her dormitory, filled with sorrow, she found candles burning in the inner room.

who is it?

The moment I pushed open the door, a stunningly beautiful picture of a handsome man lying on his side suddenly caught my eye.

Lu Qingchen wore a dark red inner garment with the collar wide open, revealing his fair, smooth, and well-defined skin. The flickering candlelight enveloped him, making him appear somewhat unreal and ethereal, like a fairy from a painting.

"Madam, it's time to rest."

A faint voice suddenly entered her ears, and Qin Miaoxi's face flushed unexpectedly. The heat spread from the tips of her ears all the way to her neck, turning it slightly red.

Her heart tightened, and almost instinctively she turned around, hastily avoiding the burning gaze that made her skin feel hot, her fingertips curling slightly.

"You...why are you here?"

Lu Qingchen's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice was tinged with a sour, nasal tone, "Wife, didn't you tell me to come back and go to bed?"

Qin Miaoxi suddenly remembered what she had said during the day, and seeing his stubborn yet earnest appearance, it was clear that it was absolutely impossible for him to leave now.

Having made up her mind, she said no more, immediately turned around, and walked towards the tightly closed door.

"Wife, where are you going?"

I was just secretly pleased that I could stay, and now my wife is about to run away! How can this be allowed?!

Before she knew it, her wrist was grabbed. A thin current of electricity, accompanied by a numbing sensation, shot up her arm and into her brain. Qin Miaoxi jolted awake and instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but it was firmly held and she couldn't shake it off.

She forced herself to reply, "I'll sleep in the outer room."

“That won’t do. We’re husband and wife, how can we sleep in separate beds…” Lu Qingchen lowered his head, his face full of hurt. “Could it be that my wife dislikes me? If, if that’s the case… I can…”

"No complaints."

Even she herself couldn't explain why, but she just couldn't bear to see the number one playboy in the capital be so obsequious and humble in front of her.

In her mind, he should have been just like when they first met, with arrogance in his eyes and a defiant look about him.

"I'm not leaving."

After saying this, her face turned as red as a sunset, and her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

A triumphant smile appeared on Lu Qingchen's lowered face, but when she looked up, she felt guilty and ashamed, and muttered, "You don't have to force yourself."

"Don't say anymore, I won't force you."

Qin Miaoxi rushed into the inner room as if fleeing and extinguished the glaring candlelight.

However, the darkness did not conceal the man's strong aura; on the contrary, it made all five senses more acute, and the restlessness intensified with each step he took.

She slipped fully clothed onto the inside of the bed and said in a flustered voice, "I'm going to sleep now!"

Her eyes were tightly closed, but her mind was racing. What would he do to her? Should she punch him? Or kick him off the bed?

What's most infuriating is that the mind-reading ability seems to have failed. I haven't heard anything for so long, only the approaching footsteps and the burning heat of a man's breath.

The bed dipped slightly as Lu Qingchen lay down close to her, his burning gaze fixed directly on her face.

Is he looking at himself?

"Honey, are you asleep? I want to kiss you?"

Her fists clenched, and she gritted her teeth inwardly. If he dared to touch her, she would break his arm.

After waiting for a long time, the warmth in my ear turned into a sigh.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Lu Qingchen turn over and lie down with her back to me. Her bright red dress was still clearly visible in the darkness.

Ok?

He stopped kissing me? Why? Is there something on my face?

Wait a minute! What am I regretting?

She subconsciously shook her head, trying to shake off those absurd thoughts from her mind, but the more she tried to force herself to fall asleep, the more chaotic her thoughts became, and the surging jumble of thoughts wouldn't go away.

In the silent room, only the sound of two breaths mingled, one deep and heavy, the other light and even, both exceptionally clear in the emptiness.

The night passed in silence, but as dawn broke, birdsong began to rise.

Qin Miaoxi suddenly opened her eyes and was immediately bombarded with a beautiful face.

Lu Qingchen slept soundly in front of her, sunlight falling on his relaxed brow. Gone was his usual joking and playful nature, which outlined a soft profile, making him look somewhat adorably naive.

Her fingertips seemed to have a mind of their own, involuntarily reaching out towards him. Just as they were about to touch his warm cheek, Qin Miaoxi blinked sharply, instantly snapping back to reality, and hurriedly pulled her hand back to her side.

She secretly regretted it: Was she crazy? How could she act like such a lecherous scoundrel, trying to take advantage of him?

She held her breath, her movements as light as a feather, carefully stepping over him, afraid of making the slightest noise to disturb him.

Unbeknownst to her, the man beneath her had already opened his eyes, his dark pupils filled with a subtle smile, even the corners of his eyes radiating a gentle curve.

"Good morning, honey!"

puff~

Qin Miaoxi slipped and fell onto Lu Qingchen's waist. Their eyes met, and all they could see was blankness and confusion.

"Miss! Ah~ I didn't see it, how did I become blind?"

Upon hearing the noise, Ziyan pushed open the door as usual, only to be met with such a shocking scene. She hurriedly covered her eyes and rushed out of the door.

"no……"

Before Qin Miaoxi could explain, she heard Wen Zhu's questioning voice coming from the doorway.

"What happened to your eyes? You could see just now, how did you suddenly go blind? Could you have been poisoned? I'll take you to see the Poison King."

"roll!"

Qin Miaoxi is dejected! This is a huge misunderstanding.

Lu Qingchen, laugh! This misunderstanding is good.
