Si Jin compared the three tiger hairs and found that they were indeed the same color as the hair that had fallen into the teacup.
He didn't say it directly, but instead handed the hair to Xiao Yao and calmly analyzed the situation:
Look, the tiger was caught red-handed.
Xiao Yao: 【】
It flapped its little feet, struggling: "[It's because the cat paw cups in the system shop aren't pretty enough~ They're not as nice as the adult cups, I couldn't resist...]"
All right.
Si Jin put the little tiger back on the table, handed it the cup covered in tiger fur, and generously said:
I'll give you that teacup.
Xiao Yao's eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you, sir!"
Si Jin asked again: What were you busy with just now?
I'm looking up information about Xiang Linyuan! Didn't you ask me to compile a list and send it to you?
"Yes." Si Jin nodded.
I poured tea into a different teacup, took a small sip, and asked:
I remember you said last time that his mother's death anniversary was in the next few days. Have you found out the exact date?
Xiang Linyuan's mother was the legitimate daughter of the Langya Wang clan, who was sent to the palace. She was beautiful, talented, and unparalleled, and should have enjoyed lasting favor.
However, at that time, Xiang Linyuan's father intended to make him the crown prince, and Xiang Linyuan was still young. In order to avoid the situation where the empress dowager controlled the court and the relatives of the empress interfered in politics.
Xiang Linyuan's father had no choice but to issue a secret edict ordering the death of his mother.
On the day his mother died, Xiang Linyuan hid in the wardrobe and watched.
She watched her father earnestly explain the pros and cons to her, and watched her mother willingly drink poison for her sake.
Now, the anniversary of the death of a concubine has been forgotten by everyone.
However, Xiang Linyuan still goes to Huguo Temple every year on that day to burn incense and pray for his mother.
Xiang Linyuan is rebellious and full of malice. Everyone fears, respects, and admires him, but no one knows that he was once a child struggling in the darkness.
But his mother's death took away the last bit of warmth in his life.
All he left the world with were cold stares.
Si Jin felt that Xiang Linyuan was very similar to herself, who was struggling to survive in the Heavenly God Prison.
Si Jin didn't want him to be so lonely.
So, he decided to use the pretext of praying for the Empress to openly go to Huguo Temple and embrace his lover who had been lonely for more than twenty years.
【Hmm, found it! Found it!】 Xiao Yao opened the system and quickly found the interface:
"My lord, it's...it's the day after tomorrow!"
"Alright." Si Jin agreed and told Xiao Yao to remind her to inform the Empress the next day.
After saying that, he sat back down at the table and began writing a letter—
His Majesty.
When the concubines came to pay their respects today, I discovered that Her Majesty the Empress carries the curse of the cat demon clan, which may affect the health and well-being of the princes.
The prince's fate is in the hands of the nation, but my family's words carry little weight. I hope Your Majesty will pay close attention.
After finishing writing, I saw the clear water next to me.
I stuck it to my finger and dripped a drop onto the paper.
It looks exactly like tear stains.
After the watermarks dried, Si Jin had someone send the letter out.
The letter contained no accusations against anyone, nor a single word of complaint or longing.
Yet, it perfectly conveyed her understanding, helplessness, and suspicion.
In the harem, besides Si Jin, only Consort Li remains as a cat demon.
Si Jin is the whistleblower. Si Jin has weak spiritual power and cannot cast spells.
Therefore, the person who cursed the Empress and the princes could only be Consort Li.
Even after Xiao Yao upgraded to her highest form, she still couldn't quite understand Si Jin's actions.
I could only tilt my head to ask.
After asking the question, he frowned again, and asked doubtfully:
[But Your Honor, you killed Consort Li again! Won't she report you?]
Don't be afraid.
Si Jin blatantly lied without batting an eye:
My spiritual power is weak, and I am docile and afraid of causing trouble. How could I possibly kill Consort Li?!
This is clearly a deliberate frame-up; I am completely innocent.
Xiao Yao: [...]
Why does it think that the adults in this world have a hundred million teas?
