"This humble subject greets Your Highness!" Zheng Qiu bowed to Gu Xin.
"Oh, don't be so formal. We're going to be working together to investigate a major case tomorrow. I was really curious about the results of your autopsy in Wangjia Village, but you haven't received any notification from Lord Qin. Even if I were a princess, I couldn't force you. I understand." Gu Xin waved her hand with a smile.
“Young Master Zheng.” Lu Zheng sat down and nodded to Zheng Qiu.
“Young Master Lu.” Zheng Qiu nodded as well.
She had only been in the capital for a few days, but she already knew that Princess Xinxin and the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo were engaged.
She had met Lu Zheng a couple of days ago when she was with Lord Qin, and now that she had seen Princess Xin Xin, she sincerely felt that the two were a perfect match.
In particular, Gu Xin, in her mind, a woman who could live in the Western Land for two years and unite the various forces in the Western Land to defeat the strongest Yunhai Tribe in the Western Land must be sharp and extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, the person standing in front of her was a delicate young girl who looked a bit silly, but was really very beautiful.
“Young Master Zheng, my brother Yuanyuan said you are the most skilled coroner in our Great Zhou. There is no case you can’t solve. You are really amazing!” Gu Xin rested her chin on her hands, staring at Zheng Qiu without blinking.
"Your Highness, you flatter me. I merely found some clues left on the bodies of the deceased; solving the case is the business of you gentlemen!" Zheng Qiu said, feeling embarrassed.
Does Princess Xin Xin always look at the young master like this? Prince Lu doesn't seem jealous at all.
She was unaware that the two men already knew she was a woman disguised as a man.
“Even the esteemed officials need a coroner to examine the body in order to make progress in the case! So, Young Master Zheng, you are truly remarkable! Lord Qin wouldn’t have become the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review if he weren’t capable. The fact that Lord Qin values you shows that you are also very capable,” Gu Xin said earnestly.
"Thank you for your praise, Princess Xin Xin. I am truly unworthy of such praise. A coroner is nothing but a lowly person," Zheng Qiu said calmly.
“Young Master Zheng, you can’t say that. There are many professions in this world, and each profession exists for a reason, without distinction of nobility or lowliness. You used your abilities to assist the adults in solving the case and seeking justice for the deceased, which is a good thing and a meritorious deed. Therefore, Young Master Zheng, you don’t need to belittle yourself,” Gu Xin said seriously.
Zheng Qiu raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Xin, who smiled brightly at her.
"Young lady, young master, the sweet fermented rice balls are here! The noodles will be ready in a moment, please wait a moment." At this moment, the proprietress of the noodle stall came over with two bowls of sweet fermented rice balls and said with a smile.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Gu Xin turned and smiled at the proprietress.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Please enjoy, young lady. If you like more, you can have more!" The proprietress was charmed by Gu Xin's smile. Oh my, whose young lady is she? Not only is she beautiful, but she's also so polite.
“Okay, Auntie!” Gu Xin said.
"Here, eat." Lu Zheng scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then fed it to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin opened her mouth and took a bite, then continued talking to Zheng Qiu.
Zheng Qiu: "..."
Is this young girl really planning to come to the Dali Temple and work with them on cases?
This girl is clearly spoiled by her family. Will she cry when Lord Qin glares at her?
Of course, Zheng Qiu was just thinking about it. She knew that a girl who survived a pile of dead bodies during the western campaigns, no matter how much she was pampered at home, would not be glared at and made to cry by their Lord Qin.
