Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 373 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 16 (Two in One)

Lin Zhi had dinner in the imperial study before being sent back to Cuiwei Palace. Along the way, Songzi looked very happy, and Lurong and others also had smiles on their faces.

"Humph, those people wanted to imitate you, but unfortunately Your Majesty ignored them. They deserved it!"

After Zhang Zhaoyi left in disgrace, some concubines who were carrying snacks and wanted to go to the imperial study to deliver things were surprised and angry. A few were unwilling to give up and wanted to deliver things as well, but they were ordered to leave by the guards before they even entered the imperial study.

The more they thought about it, the prouder they felt. Their queen was the only one in the harem.

Soon after returning to Cuiwei Palace and just sitting down, Luqi came up and handed Linzhi a letter that was sent in from outside the palace.

Now Lu Qi and the other two took turns to go to Zhuan's place to wait and see if there was any letter from the Lin family.

After opening it, I found that the reply was a revised version of Lu Ru's last letter. It mentioned Lin Zhi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but did not mention the key content. In short, everything was going according to plan.

Lin Xieruo had no doubts, so she wrote a letter asking Lu Ru and the other three to keep an eye on Lin Zhi and not let His Majesty discover that she was different from her.

Then he said that Lu Ru's brother was promoted to the leader of the guards by the eldest son of the Lin family, and now he is working for King Rui.

She raised her eyebrows and gave the letter to Lu Rong and the other two. Lu Rong was immediately furious: "You are right, Madam. Lu Ru is the young lady's confidant. They don't care about the lives of the three of us." She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will never tell her anything."

She secretly hated herself for serving the young lady for so long, only to be abandoned.

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Just write a reply saying you know."

But thinking that the Lin family must have reached a cooperation with Prince Rui by now, Prince Rui should have also begun to approach court officials in private and plan a rebellion.

However, their final solution was to have the original owner drug her, so she was not in a hurry.

They would come to her eventually.

In the following days, many concubines still went to the imperial study to deliver things, but without exception, they were all driven out.

And this time was different from the previous times, he didn’t even get to see the emperor.

Lin Zhi went to the imperial study every now and then. Of course, there was almost no ambiguity between the two of them. She was just acting as Xiao Yuan's human catnip, and he held her and sniffed her.

But others didn't know and they all thought that she was deeply loved by the emperor and was a favorite concubine.

This matter even reached the court. In particular, everyone noticed that Xiao Yuan's dark circles under his eyes had become lighter, and he didn't get angry as easily in the court as before. Their mood suddenly became complicated.

Then he began to submit memorials to persuade Your Majesty to treat everyone equally and not to follow the example of the previous dynasty where the king who lost his country was ruined by his evil concubine.

But the emperor ignored it.

After returning, Cuiwei Palace was still set up.

Lin Zhi hadn't had dinner yet, so she asked him if he wanted to eat with her. Xiao Yuan agreed, and the two of them had dinner, rinsed their mouths, changed their clothes, and then went into the inner room.

Yes, the only improvement was that she no longer had to be held in his arms for an hour or two. She could just lie on the bed with him and let him hold her.

But today, Lin Zhi pushed him away: "Your Majesty, I have my period."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently: "I'm not touching you, so what does it matter whether you have menstrual fluid or not? Or do you not like me being here?" He looked at her.

That’s not the case. It’s already November and it snowed two days ago, so the temperature dropped sharply.

His body was as warm as a stove, and she was afraid of the cold, which was actually just right.

But since he was not as disgusted as other men, Lin Zhi just went with the flow and lay in his arms.

The bed curtains were drawn around the room, and the palace lanterns were swaying gently.

Sensing the warmth from his body, Lin Zhi quietly moved closer. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, she moved closer until a voice rang in her ear: "Why are you moving? Go to sleep."

Lin Zhi glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty is warm."

Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, seemed a little impatient, and pushed her in: "Don't move around." He closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again, touching her lower back, "So cold?"

Even through his clothes, he could feel the coldness penetrating through the bones.

Lin Zhi put her head on his chest and said, "I have this disease from catching a cold when I was a child. It happens every month on my first day. It's fine on other days."

Xiao Yuan took one look at her and thought, how could she, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, who is served by a dozen maids and old women, catch a cold?

Lin Zhi's voice was filled with weariness: "Your Majesty, could you please put your hand on my lower back to warm me up?"

There was no response from above, but the big hand did not leave.

Lin Zhi slept very soundly and did not notice Xiao Yuan leaving. When she woke up the next day, she saw Songzi happily saying that His Majesty had sent some more silver charcoal to Cuiwei Palace. She raised her eyebrows and the smile deepened.

After dinner, the palace maid reported that Concubine Hui had arrived.

Since a few days ago, Concubine Hui has been coming to her. Even if she has a cold face, she pretends not to see it and still comes.

The door curtain was lifted, and Concubine Hui, wearing a rabbit fur cloak, took off the cloak at the door and went into the room.

Seeing Lin Zhi holding a bowl of soup and drinking it, her face was rosy, she smiled and said, "When I came here just now, I saw the sedan chair of His Majesty leaving. Look at your rosy face. Alas, it's true that we are the same but have different fates."

Looking at Lin Zhi, "Although my sister cannot become the Princess of Rui, she may become the Queen in the future."

"When my sister becomes successful, don't forget me."

Lin Zhi handed the bowl to the palace maid, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Concubine Hui with her beautiful eyes. Apart from anything else, since becoming the emperor's human catnip, Xiao Yuan has never been stingy with food, clothing, and accessories, and has made the original owner's previously skinny face white and rosy.

"Why wait for another day? We are all four concubines, with equal status, but I am the one who calls Concubine Hui "sister". How about Concubine Hui call me sister from today?"

She didn't know what Concubine Hui was up to, but it was definitely not a good thing.

Anyway, they were already at loggerheads, so there was no need to hesitate when they started to argue. She smiled and covered her lips, "I heard that the Prime Minister was impeached for corruption and embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from His Majesty's disaster relief? Tsk tsk, His Majesty clearly gave him a lot of salary, but the Prime Minister is still so confused. Concubine Hui, please persuade your father."

Concubine Hui's face changed: "Corruption? What do you mean by hundreds of thousands of taels? What are you talking about?"

Lin Zhi pretended to be puzzled: "Don't you know, Concubine Hui? Yesterday in the court, His Majesty was very angry and said he wanted to investigate it thoroughly."

Concubine Hui's expression changed. She looked at her and left in a hurry.

Lin Zhi pulled the corner of her mouth. Xiao Yuan had never mentioned these things. She knew them from the plot. It was just right to use them to stimulate Concubine Hui, so that she wouldn't have to stare at her all day. She looked at Songzi and asked, "Did you find out who Concubine Hui was close to?"

Songzi: "Zhang Zhaoyi."

Lin Zhi instantly remembered what happened in front of the imperial study last time. She probably started to hate her at that time. She wondered why he hated her instead of Xiao Yuan. She looked up and saw Songzi still standing there with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"My lady, this is a letter from outside the palace."

Because it was Songzi who could imitate Lu Ru's handwriting, the letters also passed through his hands.

Lin Zhi opened it and it was Lin Xiruo, who said that Aunt Li had caught a cold and missed her very much and hoped that she would leave the palace. She immediately frowned in disgust.

Before this, Lin Xiruo had written several letters, hoping to enter the palace.

Lin Zhi had read the plot and knew that she had quarreled with Prince Rui and that she entered the palace to deliberately anger Prince Rui. It was just a little interest between the two of them, so she had always ignored it and only let Lu Ru write a letter to fool him.

It is estimated that because he saw that she was reluctant to do so and realized something was wrong, he used this method to make her leave the palace.

After all, the original owner cared about Aunt Li the most.

She read the letter. Since Lin Xiruo wanted to enter the palace again and again, she could go in. And she also needed to check on Aunt Li's condition. It was a good opportunity for her to leave the palace and make some arrangements. Otherwise, it would always be a concern.

Moreover, it is time to let Xiao Yuan realize that her identity is different from Lin Xi's. After all, she cannot be Lin Xieruo for her whole life. She will have to change her identity back sooner or later. This opportunity will be a good opportunity for him to discover it himself.

She curled her lips. Although she and Xiao Yuan were just like cats and catnip, it depended on who she was compared with. Lin Xieruo and Prince Rui were so good at playing with substitutes, and no one knew what their expressions would be after the incident. Prince Rui also colluded with court officials. She and Xiao Yuan were now grasshoppers tied to the same boat. If he died, she would die too.

During this period, the frequency of his headaches decreased significantly and his temper improved.

He would no longer get angry when facing court officials. Even though he still killed many people, most of them were corrupt and committed crimes, and they really deserved to die. Most of those killed in the past also deserved to die.

She didn't want him to die, so she decided to use this line to discover King Rui's vicious heart as soon as possible and get rid of that group of people as soon as possible.

Seeing that she was silent after reading the letter, Songzi called out, "Madam?"

Lin Zhi raised her eyes and put down the letter: "Go, call Lu Rong and the other two over." She had made up her mind to go back, but there were some things she had to arrange.

Soon three people came in, and all the other palace maids in the room left, leaving only five people. The incense in the incense burner curled up, and the room was warm because of the silver charcoal. Lin Zhi said, "Just now, my sister wrote to me again to urge me to leave the palace, saying that Aunt Li has caught a cold, so I plan to go back."

The three of them widened their eyes.

Lin Zhi's lips curved slightly: "It's just that Lu Ru's death still needs your help to cover it up, do you understand?"

Lin Xiruo still didn't know about Lu Ru's death, Lu Rong and the others had hidden it very well. She didn't intend to let her know until the identities of both parties were revealed.

Lu Rong was anxious: "No! If the young lady enters the palace, she will find out that you and His Majesty are not the same as before, and then the King Rui will know." If they are discovered, they will all die. She refused to agree no matter what.

Luqi and Luzhu also looked frightened, they were also afraid of death.

Songzi now hates Lin Xiruo very much: "Since it has been changed, why change it back?" He used to work under Lin Xiruo but was not valued. Now the queen has a gentle temper, never beats or punishes servants, and still values ​​him. Naturally, he doesn't want anything to happen to Lin Zhi.

Thinking of something, Xiji looked at Linzhi and said, "My Lady, His Majesty treats you so well now. Even if you don't go back, they won't dare to do anything to you."

Lin Zhi shook her head: "My biological mother is in their hands, so I have to go back. As for why my sister came to the palace, it must be because she had an argument with Prince Rui, and she wanted to go to the palace to piss him off."

The four of them were extremely shocked and felt it was ridiculous. What kind of reason was this?
Lin Zhi looked at them: "I also want to go back to see my biological mother. As for His Majesty, I have my menstrual period. You can ask Chief Steward Gao to tell His Majesty that I can rest for a few days." Yesterday, she had her menstrual period with the help of another palace maid who was promoted. The three of them didn't know, so they just let them think she came today. And since Xiao Yuan didn't mind at all, there was no need to tell them.

If the emperor is not allowed to come, how can he discover these things?

He looked at Songzi and said, "Wait until my sister comes. You and Luyi should not come forward. Keep the people in the palace under control."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Songzi had no choice but to nod and say, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will help you keep an eye on Cuiwei Palace and won't let anyone do anything bad!" He glanced at Lurong and the other two. This "anyone" included them. He was the only confidant of Your Majesty.

Linzhi's mouth corners curled up. She was still very confident in Songzi's work.

Soon, Matsuko wrote a reply letter expressing her willingness to exchange.

In the Rui Palace, Lin Xieruo had been keeping a close eye on people. She received the letter that day and her eyebrows flew up: "Humph, this Lin Zhi, do you really think that you are out of my control after entering the palace? As long as Aunt Li is in my hands, you can do whatever I want to you."

"I want to see what you did in the palace."

At this time, the servant reported that the prince had ordered people to send melons from the south, and explained in detail that it was not easy to eat the melons in this season, but someone had found a way to preserve them, so they were sent.

Her face was filled with joy, and she asked anxiously, "Where's the prince? Is he here?"

The servant stammered, "The prince is still in the study discussing matters."

Lin Xieruo's eyebrows instantly turned upside down, and she swept the melon to the ground: "Get lost." The servants crawled away, and she ordered Luzhi: "Go, pack your things for me, and go to the palace tomorrow!"

Luzhi was equally bold and reckless: "Yes, if the prince knew that you had entered the palace, he would be very anxious and would definitely rush to find you. When you come back, he will definitely cherish you even more."

Lin Xiruo raised her lips, she thought so too, but when she thought of the quarrel between her and King Rui, she was still dissatisfied: "I just want the position of King Rui's Consort, but he said he had to wait. How long he had to wait? He doesn't even know how those high-class women will look at me when I go out."

Gritting her teeth, "Concubine, concubine, I am the daughter of a minister, why should I be a concubine?"

Luzhi nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is right. When you come back, I will call you Princess Majesty."

Lin Xieruo snorted and laughed: "Okay, close the door, the prince is back, don't let him in."

So, all the servants in the palace saw that the concubine had closed the courtyard door before the evening hour, and waited for the prince to finish his meeting and come over. However, no matter how they called out to her, the door would not be opened. They were all speechless. It was obvious that the concubine had a gentle temperament before, but how come she was... like a different person now?

The next morning, just as Lin Zhi got up, a sign was handed into the palace, saying that the concubine of King Rui came to visit her sister. She glanced at it and threw it aside. She waited in the palace after she changed her clothes, finished her meal and wiped her mouth before asking for a reply.

Not long after, Lin Xiruo came into the palace angrily with her maid. She was able to behave properly with the presence of palace attendants, but as soon as the palace attendants left, she got angry: "I handed in the card this morning, but you only let me in now!"

Lin Zhi looked at her. She was not wearing the formal attire for a concubine, but a light red casual dress, but both were made of top-notch material.

Even what she wore on her head and hands was not of the standard that a concubine could wear.

Moreover, she had this temper. When she was in the palace, she could pretend to be virtuous, but after a few days out of the palace, she returned to her true nature and didn't even bother to hide it, and started shouting and yelling.

She held up her head and worriedly said, "I have not been feeling well these past two days. I apologize to you here. Please don't be angry."

He said sorry, but his body didn't move.
