The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 319: Shoot! Kill without mercy

After leaving the imperial study, Qin Miaoxi ran straight to the bamboo forest, her heart beating like the wind in her ears, pounding wildly.

After making sure there were no peepers around, she opened her palm breathlessly, and there was some dark blue powder in the palm of her hand, which was the pollen of Yunnan Baosu.

At this moment, she finally understood what the powder she saw outside the forest chasing the demon was.

The mad demon ran away from the palace, or even... maybe... he has been hiding in the palace all these years.

The key that the concubine held in her hand before her death was most likely the key to unlocking the hiding place.

She took a deep breath, feeling panic and hesitation like never before.

She didn't even dare to pass on this news. Could it be that the emperor had ulterior motives?

No, the world belongs to him. How could he take in a murderer? Isn't he afraid?

A voice suddenly rose in his heart. Of course he was not afraid. It was his dog. How could the dog attack its owner? Because the dog was shot dead before it could fight back.

The night wind was chilly. Qin Miaoxi stood on the top of the bamboo forest and looked down at everything in the palace. A new round of shift change began at midnight.

It's now.

Her figure was hidden in the darkness, and she easily avoided all obstacles leading to the imperial study.

Before entering the imperial study again, she threw a black ball. The ball rolled twice on the ground and emitted billowing white smoke, which instantly enveloped the imperial study.

Qin Miaoxi counted silently in her heart. When the smoke dissipated when she entered, there were more than a dozen figures on the floor of the imperial study.

She walked up to one of them and saw the badge on his waist. He was the emperor's secret guard.

She felt the presence of these people the first time she came to the imperial study, but there was no need to care. She just wanted them to tell the emperor that she was suspicious.

They probably didn't expect that they would come a second time, and this was also her opportunity to conduct a deeper investigation.

Qin Miaoxi went straight to the dragon throne above. There were no hidden mechanisms on both sides of the imperial study, and the complicated dragon throne was the most convenient place to hide.

Her hand brushed across the dragon throne inch by inch, and felt a smooth spot on one side of the armrest.

After careful observation, she determined that this place was rarely touched, so why was the surface smooth? It must be because someone touched it frequently.

She pressed hard on the spot, but it didn't budge. She tried pressing and moving it, but the method was wrong.

"Is it a double mechanism?"

She talked to herself, but she didn't know how to do it.

After searching for a while, she was already sweating profusely, so she simply sat on the ground to rest for a while.

She lowered her head in thought, and suddenly saw her dress swaying. A faint breeze came from the wall behind the dragon throne.

dong dong dong~

She knocked on the wall, but unfortunately she didn't hear any empty sound. However, the wind from the bricks and stones at the bottom was real. She was almost certain that the secret room was behind the dragon throne. What she lacked was a way to open the mechanism.

She lay on the ground and searched around again, and finally found a gap at the bottom of the dragon throne.

It's so tiny that you can't even detect it without a special inspection.

Qin Miaoxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took out the small key and put it in.

Just heard a click, right!

Then she pressed the smooth spot again, and the wall behind the dragon throne opened with a bang. A deep tunnel appeared in front of her, and the smell of decay came from it.

Qin Miaoxi stood at the entrance of the tunnel. For a moment, her hair was blown up and there was wind inside.

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth, calmed herself down, and walked in.

The darkness gradually increased the fear in my heart, and the echo of footsteps reverberated in the tunnel, as if someone was following me.

Qin Miaoxi tightened the jade pendant around her neck. It was a protective jade pendant specially carved for her by her third senior sister, so that ghosts and evil spirits could not get close to her.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally saw a faint light ahead.

It was a row of iron cages, with one person locked in each cage.

She walked over, her messy hair blocking the view of the person in the cage.

The other party squatted in the corner silently, as if he didn't notice my arrival.

Qin Miaoxi pursed her lips and walked inside step by step. The people in each cage looked like the first person, not only in their figures, but also in the feeling they exuded.

She looked at the last iron door and asked, "Who are you?"

The sound quickly dissipated, and the person in the house raised his head, revealing a pair of murderous eyes.

boom!

The man rushed to her at lightning speed, and the iron bars changed shape in his hands.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

Qin Miaoxi remained silent. Their eyes met. She was stunned by the fierce look in his eyes. It was a sense of déjà vu.

Like... a madman.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, it immediately exploded.

She quickly ran back to the first, second... all the cages and shouted, "Who are you?"

Her voice awakened these numb and dazed people. They stood up and came to the iron bars, and there was a loud collision.

"who are we?"

"We are the devils!"

The ferocious laughter was like a gushing mountain torrent, unstoppable.

Qin Miaoxi retreated a few steps in horror, watching these people pull open the hard iron bars and rush out viciously.

At that moment, she was in a panic, her feet were fixed in place as if weighed down by lead, unable to move even a step.

"We're out, we're finally out."

After the wild screams, all eyes fell on Qin Miaoxi. They approached her madly and celebrated as if she had been released from the cage. She would be the sacrifice of these people.

The moment they approached, Qin Miaoxi was awakened by fear, and broke through their encirclement in a flash of lightning and ran towards the tunnel.

Her escape stimulated the thugs, and they chased after her relentlessly.

The heavy footsteps continued to grow louder in the tunnel, stimulating Qin Miaoxi's hearing.

The more chaotic the situation, the easier it is for people to make mistakes. She stumbled and fell heavily on the stairs.

Rough fingers grasped her wrist, and a foul smell assaulted her.

"roll!"

Qin Miaoxi slapped the man in the face with her palm, and the poison powder in her sleeve spread all over the tunnel.

In an instant, the person holding her began to rot from his hands, and in the blink of an eye, the rot spread all over his body, and his howls of pain resounded through the sky.

Outside the palace, the patrolling imperial guards heard the noise, immediately sounded the alarm, and quickly gathered towards the imperial study.

Emperor Meiji, who was taking a nap in the harem, also heard the noise and summoned Eunuch Wu to ask, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, it seems there is a thief in the Imperial Study."

Emperor Meiji suddenly stood up and said, "Change my clothes."

The concubines in the harem looked at the emperor in surprise and whispered, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Meiji ignored him, put on his dragon robe, and hurried over.

The concubine's eyes flashed, and she called the maid and ordered, "Go and take a look, and report back quickly."

"Yes, madam!"

At this moment, there were three layers of imperial guards surrounding the imperial study, and the sounds inside the hall were becoming clearer and clearer.

Emperor Meiji personally arrived at the scene and said, "Everyone be on guard! Kill anyone you see without mercy."

boom!

The palace gate was broken, and the first person to rush out was a woman dressed in flaming red.

Emperor Meiji shouted, "Shoot!"
