Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 416 The Prince Locked Zijuan Up

Xiao Quanzi walked back excitedly with big strides.

However, he never expected that the wind and sand would rush towards him like a ferocious beast, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

Finally, Xiao Quanzi returned to his original position with his eyes half closed.

He saw the horse from a distance. For some reason, it was standing in front of a big tree, neighing, as if it was extremely frightened.

Not far away, the shrill crow cries could be heard from time to time, which seemed particularly strange and creepy in this silent wilderness.

An ominous premonition welled up in Xiao Quanzi's heart. He hurriedly led the horse and ran to the carriage, shouting at the top of his voice:

"Master, Master, there is a small path ahead..."

However, when he stretched out his hand to pull open the curtain of the carriage, he was stunned - the eldest lady who was supposed to be sitting in the carriage had disappeared without a trace!

Xiao Quanzi's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Where can the master go in this desolate place?

Various possibilities flashed through his mind quickly, and suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that the master encountered a beggar?

When he thought of this, Xiao Quanzi's face turned pale as paper. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that his guess would come true.

Without hesitation, he followed the road and began to search around.

He thought to himself that perhaps the flowers here were beautiful, and it would be a good idea for the master to pick some.

……

The prince's face was full of worry and his brows were furrowed, as if he was suffocating under the pressure of a heavy burden.

He stood by Daiyu's bed, staring at the lifeless woman lying on the bed, feeling as bitter as if he had eaten thousands of kilograms of Coptis chinensis.

The prince could no longer count how many days and nights had passed.

His originally handsome face became haggard, and his eyes, which were as bright as stars, became sunken, losing their former brilliance.

His beard was tangled and unruly, clearly having not been trimmed for several days. He looked lifeless, as if his soul had been drained away.

In order to help Daiyu wake up as soon as possible, the prince not only invited many imperial physicians to treat her, but also visited famous doctors everywhere.

All kinds of precious medicines were poured into Daiyu's mouth, but she remained unconscious, as if she had fallen into a long and sweet dream and was reluctant to wake up.

He held Daiyu's hand tightly, feeling her weak pulse, imagining that Daiyu once surrounded him like an elf, but now, in just a few days, everything had changed.

He put Daiyu's hand to his lips and kissed it passionately, as if this could wake her up.

"Yu'er, I beg you, just for the sake of our child, please wake up quickly!" The prince closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and pleaded softly.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, breaking the silence in the room.

The prince thought that Zijuan and the others had come to feed Daiyu medicine, so he didn't even raise his head and continued to stay by the bed, unwilling to leave Daiyu even for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"

He slowly raised his head and was surprised to find that the person standing in front of him was the mother-in-law who delivered Daiyu.

Because Daiyu had not woken up yet, the mother-in-law felt bad about it, so she stayed by Daiyu's side and served her, just hoping that she would wake up quickly.

The mother-in-law looked at the prince and seemed to have a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.

After a long time, she couldn't help but say:

“Your Majesty, there is something fishy about Fujin’s matter.

Although Fu Jin's baby was born prematurely, she has always been in good health.

I wouldn't be out for a short while and then come back bleeding profusely!"

The prince finally woke up as if from a dream. That's right, before Yu'er fell into a coma, she held his hand and said:

"The mansion over there has been raided. Let him at least save Baoyu's life!"

As he was thinking about it, he wanted to call Xiao Luzi over to ask: How are the arrangements going? He doesn't care about other people in the mansion over there, but Baoyu's life must be saved!

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law looked at the prince with a serious face and said slowly: "Prince, in my opinion, someone must have been unable to hold back!"

She paused, then continued, "This person deliberately told Fu Jin about her grandmother's family. His purpose was to make Fu Jin anxious and cause her to have a difficult labor!"

Upon hearing this, the prince suddenly woke up from his dream and could not help but sigh: "That's right!

This matter was put on hold temporarily because Yu'er had been unconscious, but now..."

The prince stopped talking abruptly. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. The person who did this cannot be allowed to go unpunished!

Seeing this, the mother-in-law quickly moved closer to the prince and whispered a few words in his ear in a low voice.

After hearing this, the prince showed a trace of doubt on his face, but after a little thought, he decided to do as his mother-in-law said.

After all, anyone who could do such a cruel thing to a woman while she was giving birth should be investigated thoroughly!

So the prince immediately sent someone to order a high-quality coffin.

Word was spread to the outside world that the concubine was dying and that anyone who wanted to come and see her was welcome to do so.

Moreover, the prince no longer stayed by Daiyu's side, but wandered around like a wild crane, or hid quietly in the dark, holding his breath and quietly observing the people who came to visit Daiyu.

In order to make the effect more realistic, even Zijuan and Xueyan kept it a secret.

Zijuan had been guarding the outer room. Now, looking at the situation in the mansion, it seemed that they had given up on treating Daiyu. For a moment, all the resentment in Zijuan's heart surged up.

It happened that the prince did not eat with Daiyu as usual for dinner that day, but ate with Siyu and Jiaorou.

Just as Siyu picked up a piece of Yun Ham stewed in chicken soup for the prince, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Everyone looked up and saw Zijuan rushing in like a gust of wind.

She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, and walked straight towards the prince with a menacing look. Seeing this, the prince swallowed the ham in his mouth without chewing it, and almost choked.

Zijuan walked up to the prince. Although she did not attack him directly, her forced smile and tone made people shudder.

She asked the prince with a half-smile, "I heard that there is a funeral going on at the mansion. Is this true, Prince?"

Before the prince could answer, Jiaorou beside him could no longer hold back.

She stood up suddenly and pointed at Zijuan and shouted angrily:

"Bold!

Are you also so ignorant of the rules in the Jia Mansion? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the prince!

However, Zijuan showed no fear. She stood firmly in place, like a Buddha statue, motionless, just waiting coldly for the prince's reply.

Seeing this, the prince raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He said slowly:

"This girl Zijuan is so ignorant of etiquette, her master must have failed to teach her well.

In that case, let's lock her up in the woodshed first.

It won’t be too late to deal with it after her master’s funeral is over in a few days.”

Zijuan opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't recognize the person in front of her.

When she was still thinking about saying that her master would not die, she was captured by two strong women and locked up in the woodshed.

Zijuan banged on the door of the woodshed and shouted:

"Prince Beijing, I tell you, you are a scoundrel who harms the world and harms the moral principles!

It's all because of you that our girl has ended up like this!"

After saying this, Zijuan became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She also thought that Miss Lin had not woken up yet, and this hateful Prince Beijing was going to get rid of her.

Tears streamed down her face, and she cried out:

"Girl...please open your eyes and look...please wake up quickly!"
