Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 487 Who Hurt Siyu

"Your Highness, you should eat something. The New Year is coming soon, so you should cheer up!"

Xiao Luzi said softly. He stood at the door of the study, looking at the prince's motionless figure, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

At this moment, the sky had completely darkened, and the night enveloped the entire palace in silence.

The prince sat quietly in the bedroom like a stone statue, wearing a thin piece of clothing, as if he had already put his body aside.

There were no lights or candles in the room. Only the faint moonlight shone through the window onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.

The prince just sat there in the darkness, motionless, as if he had lost all his life.

Xiao Luzi sighed helplessly. He walked into the room quietly, groped for a kerosene lamp, and lit it carefully.

The dim light illuminated a corner of the room, also revealing the prince's bearded face and sunken eye sockets.

Xiao Luzi felt sad when he saw the prince so depressed.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to move closer to the prince and whispered in his ear:

"Your Highness, I finally found out why the concubine and her child died together!"

Recently, since Siyu and the child passed away, the prince only wanted to be alone. After dinner every day, he returned to his study early.

Sometimes he would even stay alone quietly in Tingyuxuan, and sometimes he would talk to himself, immersed in his own thoughts, and indifferent to everything in the outside world.

The death of Siyu and the child was like a thorn that pierced deep into his heart, causing him to feel pain all the time.

However, when he heard Xiao Luzi say this, he seemed to be suddenly awakened by a powerful force and instantly became energetic.

He couldn't wait to grab Xiao Luzi and asked anxiously:

"What did you say? Was Concubine Jin really murdered? Tell me quickly, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing this, Xiao Luzi quickly took out a purse from his arms and handed it to the prince carefully.

The prince took the purse with suspicion, looked at this ordinary purse, and thought to himself: What can a small purse mean?

Just when the prince was puzzled, Xiao Luzi slowly opened his purse, revealing some herbs he had never seen before.

Xiao Luzi picked out a herb, held it in front of the prince, and explained:

"Your Majesty, please see, this herb is harmful to one's blood.

The concubine usually suffered from palpitations and insomnia, and she was also pregnant, so her body was already weak.

Just think about it, if she had to carry this purse with her every day, how could her body bear it?"

The prince then remembered that Siyu was always upset and inexplicably pestering people during her last few days. It must have been because of this drug!

The prince stared at the herbs with suspicion. He frowned and asked, "How did you get this purse?"

Seeing this, Xiao Luzi's heart tightened. He quickly knelt on his knees and explained tremblingly:

"In reply to your Highness, this purse was discovered by Caiyue when she was sorting through the concubine's belongings.

She had intended to present it to the prince so that you could keep it as a souvenir.

But when I smelled the purse, I thought the smell was a little unusual, so I became suspicious and consulted the imperial physician.

After examination by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that this purse had indeed been tampered with!"

Upon hearing this, the prince slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table almost fell off. He roared in anger:

"Tell me quickly, who is so bold as to openly harm the concubine?"

Xiao Luzi was frightened by the prince's aura and trembled all over, but he still shook his head and said with difficulty:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is all I have found out.

According to the imperial physician, the reason Concubine Jin's heart disease worsened in her later years was probably because of this tampered purse!

The prince's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He stared at the purse. He really wanted to destroy these shameful and dirty things before Siyu wore them!

He also wanted to quickly find out who was the culprit and avenge Siyu and the child!

Xiao Luzi also said that this was all he had found out, just like a flash of light that passed by in an instant, and hope was fleeting.

The prince's eyes gradually dimmed, and he slumped in his chair like a deflated ball, looking extremely depressed.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he told Xiao Luzi:

"Go, quickly call Rou Fu Jin over! It must be her!"

Jiaorou sat on the edge of the bed with lifeless eyes, like a frightened deer. Her body was trembling slightly, as if she had been inexplicably frightened.

After Siyu's death, rumors flooded the mansion, making her feel extremely frightened.

Some people say that Siyu and her child died unjustly and she will definitely seek revenge.

Some people also say that people who died unjustly have a lot of resentment, and who knows who might be unlucky!

After she witnessed the tragic condition of the child with her own eyes, the fear in her heart was magnified infinitely.

As the saying goes, little devils are hard to deal with!

The appearance of that child kept lingering in her mind. Whenever night fell, the poor child would keep appearing in her mind!

——He turned his back to Jiao Rou and asked her coldly: "Sanniang, did you kill my mother?"

Jiao Rou was tortured so much that she lost a lot of weight!

Therefore, every night, Jiaorou would arrange Caiping to close the gate early.

At night, she didn't dare turn off the oil lamp. She had to keep candles and kerosene lamps lit in the house to make the whole room bright. Only in this way could she feel a little more at ease and fall asleep.

"Concubine, Concubine, please get someone to open the door!"

Tonight, Xiao Luzi's loud shouting scared Jiao Rou so much that she hid in the quilt and trembled!

Jiao Rou was so scared that she screamed, "Don't open the door, don't open the door, Cai Ping, just stay with me and don't go anywhere!"
