Chapter 366 Cannon Fodder Substitute vs. Cold Tyrant 10
Lu Ru and a few others followed her, thinking that Lin Zhi wanted to sit in the Imperial Garden. Anyway, Concubine Hui was busy copying scriptures and had no time to stroll around, so nothing would happen to her. But the more they walked, the more they felt something was wrong. Why did this road look like it was leading to the Emperor's study?
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Garden is over there. This is the way to the Imperial Study." Lu Ru reminded.

Lin Zhi continued forward: "Yes, I know."

The palace maids were all shocked when they heard this. Lu Rong looked at the food box that Lu Qi was carrying and couldn't help asking, "Are you going to bring soup to His Majesty?" Seeing her nod, she couldn't help but shout, "Are you crazy? You actually took the initiative to look for His Majesty!"

Lu Ru also said, "Your Majesty, you can't go to the Imperial Study. You saw what His Majesty did that day. It's really dangerous."

She thought to herself that she had almost lost her hands because His Majesty forced her to play the piano that day, but she had forgotten about it.

When the other palace maids heard that they were going to the imperial study, they were so frightened that their legs went limp and they dared not walk any further.

Lin Zhi turned her head and looked at them: "I'm not crazy, I'm just going to deliver a bowl of soup. Your Majesty can't eat me. If you don't want to go, go back." After that, she pointed to the eunuch walking behind her to bring the food box and walked away.

Several palace maids looked at each other in dismay. Lu Rong sneered: "She said she would cherish her life that day, but now she is going to die!"

"She wouldn't think that since Your Majesty saved her once, you would be lenient with her."

Lu Ru looked at Lin Zhi's back and glanced at them: "I want to go with you. If you don't want to go, just wait here." Lu Rong didn't want to go at first, but now she strode over immediately after hearing what she said, "Of course I have to go. It's best to see how she was killed by His Majesty with one sword."

They walked hurriedly, thinking of what Lin Zhi said that day. If she died, they would be useless and would be killed by King Rui. They became anxious and cursed Lin Zhi inwardly for seeking death.

Luqi and Luzhu also hurriedly followed.

Lu Ru frowned and looked at the three of them. It was obvious that they had heard what Lin Zhi said that day.
-
Linzhi and the young eunuch arrived at the imperial study.

She glanced at the food box. Delivering the soup was just an excuse. What was important was the sachet. She put the incense she had made a few days ago in it. The smell was exactly the same as on her body.

The emperor fell into the water that day and the situation was urgent, so she didn't have time to use the incense. Now, of course, she had to use the incense to remind the emperor of the fragrance he smelled that night... It didn't matter if he didn't remember. She also made patterns on the surface of the sachet, which was similar to the flowers his mother embroidered on his underwear.

Xiao Yuan's mother was not crazy all the time. She was sometimes lucid, especially before she jumped into the lake, she was lucid for a long time.

She made shoes and clothes for him and spoke to him gently until she was done and then jumped into the lake.

Most of the embroideries were orchids and bamboos, and had become tattered over the years, but Xiao Yuan still kept them in the palace. Lin Zhi learned how to embroider orchids to ensure that he would not ignore them after seeing them.

"What's your name?"

The young eunuch was stunned and said quickly, "My lady, my name is Songzi."

Lin Zhi nodded: "What a good name, you will know how to say it later." He nodded repeatedly, "I know."

The two of them walked over immediately.

The eunuch on duty saw them approaching and subconsciously thought that it was the 'Imperial Study', but why would a concubine come here?

Ever since His Majesty selected a group of concubines for the palace, there have always been concubines coming to the Imperial Study to bring soup and snacks, hoping to be favored by the Emperor and give birth to a prince, just like during the reign of the old emperor. However, they are all frightened by His Majesty and are said to have nightmares for several days after returning home.

Since then, no concubine dared to come to the Imperial Study to send gifts, and they avoided it. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he was dazzled, or if this concubine was illiterate and couldn't recognize the three big words "Imperial Study" and went to the wrong place?
"Eunuch, my queen is here to bring soup to His Majesty. Could you please go in and report it?"

Songzi walked over and stuffed the silver given by Linzhi into his hand.

The eunuch on duty thought that this was the first time in such a long time that a concubine had given him money just to meet the emperor.

However, he did not dare to accept it. Under the watchful eyes of His Majesty, he did not dare to do anything small, so he retreated: "His Majesty is meeting with ministers and is busy. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait outside." His attitude was not harsh.

The chief eunuch didn't tell them not to let the concubines from the harem come near here. Before, those concubines were just scared by His Majesty and dared not come again. Now someone came here to "seek death", can he stop her?

Songzi nodded repeatedly and went back to tell Linzhi that they were waiting at the door.

At this time, the ministers' voices of begging for mercy were heard from the imperial study, followed by a cry of "get out". Soon the door opened, and a minister came out holding a crooked black hat, and went straight out of the palace without even looking at them.

Then the eunuch in charge was about to close the door, but when he looked up and saw Lin Zhi, he was stunned.

The eunuch on duty immediately went over and reported in a low voice. The chief eunuch looked surprised, and glanced at the soup that Linzhi was carrying. He also looked very surprised, and glanced at the person walking over into the room.

"Empress Yi, what are you doing..."

Lin Zhi called him "Eunuch" and smiled a little stiffly: "Your Majesty saved me in the Imperial Garden last time, so I thought of bringing you soup and sachets." She took out the embroidered sachet shyly and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty is free now?"

The chief eunuch raised his eyebrows when he saw the sachet. He had been with the emperor for a long time. He was arranged by the old emperor to serve the emperor after he came out of the cold palace. He had risen to the position of chief eunuch through his loyalty over the years.

It’s not that this sachet is so special, it’s just that the embroidery is more delicate than that of ordinary concubines, but it reminds me of the last time, His Majesty actually jumped into the lake to save Concubine Yi.

But he knew His Majesty's attitude towards these women in the harem. To put it bluntly, they were just ambitious ministers of the previous dynasty who sent them in to win favor. His Majesty had never touched them.

But sometimes he was worried whether His Majesty was ill, but fortunately the imperial physician said everything was normal.

It was obvious that His Majesty treated Concubine Yi no differently before, but last time he took the initiative to save someone, and Concubine Yi also understood and actually came to him on her own initiative today.

He immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty happens to be free, but he is not in a good mood, you see."

Lin Zhi's expression froze and she hesitated for a moment. The butler knew that she was thinking about His Majesty's bad mood and wanted to kill someone, so he took the initiative to say, "Why don't we help you take the things in and see what His Majesty thinks first?"

After all, she is the first concubine that His Majesty has a different attitude towards, so it is always right to be cautious. Moreover, since His Majesty has not entered the harem for a long time, he is also worried about when the little prince will come out.

Lin Zhi was immediately overjoyed and asked Songzi to hand over the things: "Then I'll trouble you, sir. I'll wait for you outside."

The chief eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite," and then carried the things into the hall.

Memorials were still scattered on the floor in the hall. The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with his legs resting on the table, reading a book in his hand. The chief eunuch walked over and carefully picked up the thing to show it to him.
