Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 358 Darkroom

Just when the prince was full of doubts, Xiao Luzi came over.

Xiao Luzi bowed slightly and advised softly:

"Master, it's late at night, you should go to bed early."

However, the prince did not listen to Xiao Luzi's advice, but raised his hand to signal him to wait a moment.

Then, the prince tilted his head slightly, listened attentively to the surrounding movements, and said to Xiao Luzi in a low voice:

"Listen carefully, what is that sound?

It seems like someone is crying."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi immediately became alert.

He originally wanted to ask loudly who was there, but before he could say anything, the prince stopped him with a gesture.

At this moment, a dark shadow slowly walked out from the front.

In the faint moonlight, one could vaguely see that it was an elderly nanny.

Upon seeing this, the prince quickly gave a wink to Xiao Luzi, and the two nodded in understanding, then lowered their footsteps and quietly followed the nanny.

See where this nanny is going.

Along the way, the prince and Xiao Luzi were very careful, fearing that any noise would alarm the nanny in front.

Soon, they found that the old woman was walking towards a room.

The prince and Xiao Luzi looked at each other and continued to follow on tiptoe.

The old woman had no idea that she was being followed. She was only thinking about whether Xiaoling and Xiaowan would confess tonight.

If they still don't confess, I will whip them hard a few more times to make them obedient, and then I can go back to the house and rest peacefully.

But what she never expected was that the prince and Xiao Luzi followed her into the darkroom quietly.

The prince and Xiao Luzi had just entered the darkroom when he was completely stunned!

It was as if he had seen the most shocking sight in the world—there was actually such a strange room hidden in this palace!

This darkroom is hidden deep in the servants' quarters.

If the prince had not followed the nanny in closely, he would never have known that there was such an unknown corner in his mansion!

As soon as he entered the darkroom, a biting chill hit him in the face. Even though the prince was wearing thick cotton clothes, he still felt the coldness that penetrated deep into his bones.

The entire darkroom seemed exceptionally cold and damp. A thin layer of water droplets condensed on the walls, and the ground was even wetter, making people feel timid.

Walking slowly along the narrow and dark corridor, you can see all kinds of horrifying torture instruments placed on both sides.

These torture instruments are either rusty or flashing with cold light, which is shocking to the eye.

Continuing to walk inside, the prince's gaze suddenly fixed on something not far ahead - he saw Xiaoling and Xiaowan tied tightly together.

At this moment, several maids were holding long whips and beating their delicate bodies mercilessly.

The crisp sound of whips echoed in the dark room, like the roar of evil spirits, making people terrified.

The two girls had already been tortured beyond recognition and were no longer human.

With the dim light from the kerosene lamp in Xiao Luzi's hand, one could clearly see that their faces and bodies were covered with criss-crossing whip marks.

New and old wounds overlapped, and blood continued to seep out of the wounds, staining the originally clean clothes into a shocking red.

"Are you going to tell the story or not? If not, keep beating me!" The maids obviously didn't see the prince coming.

The prince's face was filled with anger and his eyes were wide open. What was going on?

Veins popped out on his forehead, and he suddenly let out a deafening roar:

“Stop! Stop it now!

You bold slaves, on whose orders did you dare to treat them like this?"

The sound was so loud, like thunder from a clear sky, echoing in the dark room.

The maids who were waving whips were so frightened when they heard the sudden roar that they trembled all over and the whips in their hands fell to the ground involuntarily.

They turned around in horror, and when they saw that the person coming was the prince, they were all stunned.

At this time, Xiao Luzi, who was following the prince, hurriedly picked up the kerosene lamp, ran to the front, and shone the light directly on the maids.

Under the dim light, Xiaoling and Xiaowan were already unconscious, and the faces of the maids looked particularly hideous and terrifying.

The maids no longer cared about anything else and fell to their knees with a thud.

They kowtowed and pleaded with trembling voices, "Your Majesty, spare us! Your Majesty, spare us!

We are so blind that we didn't realize it was Your Majesty who came to visit us. Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"

The prince opened his eyes wide and stared at the shocking scars on Xiaoling and Xiaowan's bodies with an angry face. His heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of steel needles and the pain was unbearable.

Who on earth was so audacious as to set up a secret room in the palace and perpetrate lynching?

He was so angry that his whole body was shaking and veins popped out on his forehead.

"You damned slaves!

What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and release these two girls from me!"

The prince roared, his voice so deafening that it seemed as if the entire darkroom was shaking.

The maids who were originally kneeling on the ground and trembling, after hearing the prince's scolding, woke up from their dreams and quickly crawled to their feet.

They ran to Xiaoling and Xiaowan in a panic, using their hands and feet, and frantically untied the ropes.

One of the nuns almost fell to the ground due to excessive tension and fear.

After the ropes were untied, the prince glared at them fiercely and ordered Xiao Luzi sternly:

"Xiao Luzi, lock these maids up in the woodshed right away.

This prince will personally investigate this matter tomorrow. How dare you set up a lynching in the palace!"

Xiao Luzi nodded quickly and then carefully led the maids towards the woodshed.

In the past, the maids relied on their seniority and the fact that they were close to the eldest lady, so they could not help but bully others. But now, seeing that the prince was furious, they had no choice but to follow Xiao Luzi and leave dejectedly.

Xiaoling and Xiaowan were so seriously injured that they staggered when they walked. The prince quickly went over to help them up and sat them down to calm themselves down.

Xiaoling's shoulders trembled involuntarily because of the pain. She stuck out her tongue and gently licked her lips which had already cracked beyond recognition.

Xiaoling glanced at the prince, then as if determined, she leaned forward slightly and pretended to kneel down to plead for Daiyu.

However, just as her knees were about to touch the ground, a strong hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm tightly.

Before she could react, the prince had already gently pulled her to a chair nearby, and pressed her shoulders to make her sit down.

Xiaoling had no choice but to cry and say:

"Your Majesty, our wife was wrongly accused. Please bring her back. She is still pregnant with your child!"

Before the prince could speak, Xiaowan tremblingly handed the note in her hand to the prince.

The prince only glanced at the note and shouted:

"How dare you! Is this palace full of lawlessness?"

Then he asked the two of them:

"Who locked you up here?"

Xiaoling and Xiaowan looked at each other, waved their hands, and said timidly:

"Maybe the eldest wife also has good intentions!

Please, my Lord, just find our wife and don't vent your anger on the eldest wife!"
