"Young lady, are you really going to investigate this matter thoroughly? Will Yuzhu's death not have been in vain?"
"Yes, I will get justice for her, and I will give you an explanation..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhu Niang began to recount the events of the past two days.
Yesterday, Yuzhu suddenly came back crying. She wouldn't say anything when asked, she just kept crying.
In the afternoon, someone came to call her, saying that something had gone missing from the Crown Prince's residence and that she needed to go back and explain.
Yu Zhu left home crying. When it got dark, someone found Yu Zhu's body by the river. From the surface, it appeared that Yu Zhu had drowned.
But she was clearly summoned away by the Crown Prince's people, so how did she end up by the river and suddenly die?
Yu Zhu's mother immediately reported it to the authorities. The officials came to the scene, inspected the area, and concluded that Yu Zhu had died from an accidental drowning.
At this point, Yu Zhu Niang grasped Zhi Wan's hand, pleading tearfully.
"Girl, please tell me, what exactly happened yesterday? I need to know how she died!"
She didn't answer her question, but instead frowned and continued to press for an answer.
Did you see the person who came to call her yesterday afternoon?
"I see, she's a girl too..."
What does she look like?
After pondering for a while, Yu Zhu Niang spoke:
"She had delicate features and was wearing a light pink maid's outfit. Oh, and she had a mole on her eyebrow. People say that a mole in the eyebrow is a beauty mark, and I even complimented her on how pretty she was."
A girl with a mole on her eyebrow? This clue is very important.
"Auntie, may I be so bold as to take a look at Yuzhu's body?"
Yu Zhu's mother hesitated for a moment, then quickly explained.
"I didn't mean anything by it. I know medicine, and I want to investigate the cause of her death..."
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Zhu Niang nodded decisively.
"See? As long as we can find out the cause of her death and find the person who killed her, anything is fine."
Zhiwan never expected that Yuzhu Niang would be so happy.
"Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for Yuzhu. She didn't die in vain..."
After saying this, to avoid upsetting Yuzhu Niang, she stuffed the silver into her hand and left.
She approached the jade bamboo coffin, silently murmuring something.
"Yuzhu, I have to offend you a little, so that I can find out the cause of your death. Please don't blame me..."
Upon hearing this, the woman named Xiaomei stood up abruptly.
"What are you trying to do? She's already dead, what more do you want?"
Looking at Xiaomei, whose face had turned ashen with excitement, she suddenly felt envious that Yuzhu had such a good friend.
She explained softly, "I didn't mean to offend Yuzhu. I'm a doctor, and I'm here today only to find out the cause of her death so that I can avenge her. Do you want her to die unjustly and leave with regrets?"
Her words made Xiaomei immediately cover her mouth and burst into tears.
She finally stopped stopping Zhiwan from doing what she wanted to do, and Zhiwan pushed the coffin open forcefully.
The jade bamboo in the coffin had a livid face and dilated pupils, making it look quite eerie.
Startled, she covered her mouth. Xiaomei and another girl rushed forward and asked:
"What's wrong?"
As they asked the question, they both looked into the coffin.
When they saw the jade bamboo in the coffin, they all cried out.
"How could this be? It wasn't like this last night!"
"Yes! Her eyes were closed yesterday, and her face wasn't this pale. What happened?"
"Shh!"
Luo Zhiwan frowned slightly and whispered a reminder.
"Don't make a fuss. If too many people find out, Yu Zhu Niang might be in danger..."
Upon hearing this, the two girls quickly shut their mouths and dared not utter a sound.
Luo Zhiwan raised her hand and closed her eyes, silently reciting...
"Yuzhu, rest in peace! I won't let you die in vain. I will find out who killed you, and then I will go to your grave to tell you, 'Rest in peace!'"
Xiao Mei and another girl began to wipe away their tears. Luo Zhiwan raised her hand to close the coffin, bowed to her again, and then turned and left.
Judging from Yu Zhu's appearance, she was first poisoned with a slow-acting poison before being thrown into the water. When her body was discovered, the poison had not yet manifested, so most people would not have noticed anything amiss.
If Yu Zhu died a violent death, it means that she must have known something about Yi Ming falling into the water, and these people were afraid that she would expose them, so they silenced her.
Walking back to the Crown Prince's residence, she murmured to herself,
"Yuzhu, I won't let you die in vain, nor will I let those who wanted to kill Yiming go unpunished..."
After saying this, she suddenly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
It seems that her previous idea was completely wrong.
It's so difficult for her to live a peaceful life with Yiming in the Crown Prince's residence.
Now that Yiming has been made the heir apparent, he cannot leave the Crown Prince's residence, and she, as his mother, should no longer be content to be subordinate to others.
At that moment, she made a terrible decision.
She was going to become the mistress of the Crown Prince's residence, so that no one would dare to touch her and her child.
She was determined to get the position of Crown Princess, even if her status was not right, she would still fight for it.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and hurried towards the Crown Prince's residence.
Donghuiyuan
Li Ping came to report.
"Your Highness, Miss Yue has suddenly developed a high fever and is having convulsions. It could be fatal! You must go and see her immediately!"
He frowned slightly, glanced at Yiming on the bed, and instructed Liping:
"I'll stay here and watch over Yiming, I'll go check on him..."
After saying this, he turned and left. Li Ping called out to him.
"Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to..."
