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

Chapter 379 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 22
The imperial physician came and said that Lin Xieruo had caught a severe cold, so he could only put more charcoal fire in the house and get some medicine, and he would not leave until her fever subsided. After all, His Majesty had been very fond of this physician recently.

Xiao Yuan didn't know about this until he finished his government affairs and Gao Peng reported it to him.

He stared at the memorial in his hand for a long time without saying anything.

Chief Steward Gao was a little nervous. For some reason, His Majesty had not gone to Cuiwei Palace in the past two days. Of course, the court was indeed busy in these two days, but he always felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Concubine Yi had fallen out of favor?

At this time, Xiao Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go to Cuiwei Palace."

A look of joy flashed across his face and he quickly went to arrange the sedan chair.

Soon the emperor's sedan chair arrived at Cuiwei Palace and everyone came to greet them. Xiao Yuan entered the room and saw Concubine Yi lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He could not help but glance around. The bed curtains and screens had been changed. The incense in the room was elegant but it was not the smell he was familiar with.

She walked to the bed and looked down at the face on the bed. The face still had delicate makeup and bright lips.

He glanced at the palace maid not far away. Lu Rong lowered her head and shivered. In order to prevent His Majesty from discovering, she could only re-dress Lin Xiruo, hoping that His Majesty would not notice.

Xiao Yuan had already retracted his gaze and sat down on the chair next to him, staring straight at that face.

Lu Rong and the others couldn't help but breathe shallowly. They couldn't guess what His Majesty was doing and felt vaguely uneasy. However, Chief Steward Gao signaled for everyone to go out, so they had no choice but to go out. They had all sorts of random thoughts in their heads. About half an hour later, His Majesty came out and asked them what was going on.

Several people immediately told everything about the Imperial Garden.

"Okay, I will take care of this matter. You guys take good care of Concubine Yi." He stood up and left.

After they sent the people away, they immediately hurried into the room, guessing that His Majesty would not find out. Lu Rong also felt that although they had concealed many things from Lin Xiruo, they were actually not very clear about the affairs between the Third Miss and His Majesty.

I only know that maybe His Majesty does treat the Third Miss better than other concubines.

After discussing this, they felt that since His Majesty came to visit the young lady, he should not have any doubts. However, Lu Rong felt that something was not right. Thinking of His Majesty staring at Lin Xiruo's face, she looked over. The eldest young lady was wearing makeup and the third young lady was not careful, so it would be difficult to see. He should not have noticed...

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind and I took a deep breath.

Lu Qi looked at her: "What's wrong, Lu Rong?"

Lu Rong's face turned pale, she remained calm and shook her head: "It's okay." But the hands hanging by her side began to tremble. She knew something was wrong. The two times His Majesty came to Cuiwei Palace, he didn't carry Lin Xiruo at all!
After Lin Xieruo finished playing the piano that day, His Majesty should have wanted to hug her, but for some reason he suddenly stopped and left quickly.

Today I carefully observed Lin Xiruo's face again.

She was shaking uncontrollably, afraid that Lu Qi and the others would notice, so she said, "You guys stay here and serve the queen. I'll go see if the medicine is ready." She left quickly, returned to the room, slid down with her back against the door, her face pale.

Not long after, the emperor's rewards were delivered to Cuiwei Palace, including ginseng and other good things.

Luqi and Luzhu, who were originally a little worried, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor had no doubts. However, Lurong on the side was distracted.

At this time in the emperor's bedroom, Chief Steward Gao helped the emperor undress: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The queen is in good health and has the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital to take care of her. She won't have any root cause of illness." He added, "I have already found out that the one who had a conflict with the queen today was Concubine Hui. Somehow, her pearl string got caught on the gem on the queen's hand, and then it broke, and the queen stepped on it and fell into the lake."

However, he felt that the matter was not that simple. It seemed that what he found out was that Zhang Zhaoyi and Huifei were often together, and there must have been some conspiracy.

But without any evidence, it is really hard to convict. Xiao Yuan said casually: "Remove Concubine Hui's title and demote her to a noble lady, demote Concubine Zhang to a fourth-rank concubine, and demote the others two ranks each."

Chief Steward Gao took a deep breath. Concubine Hui was demoted the most harshly, but His Majesty must have done it as a warning to the Prime Minister and other ministers. He followed His Majesty to court every day, so he knew this. There was solid evidence that the Prime Minister was corrupt, but other ministers kept pleading for him.

Even students preparing for the imperial examination next year got involved, saying that the prime minister was a benefactor and should not be killed.

When the evidence is placed right before their eyes, they all say it is a frame-up.

It is obvious that someone is deliberately making trouble behind the scenes. Your Majesty, it is not excessive to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. Look, the Minister of Works is of the same mind as Your Majesty, but Your Majesty only demoted his daughter by one rank.

Thinking that His Majesty treated Concubine Yi very differently, just when she was about to look up and ask a few more questions, she saw His Majesty frowning, his eyes full of annoyance, and she was stunned.

Xiao Yuan pushed him away: "What kind of incense is burning in this room? Put it out!"

When Chief Steward Gao saw His Majesty striding to the bathing pool at the back, he quickly waved to the eunuchs, who quickly put out the incense. But he was confused. Didn't His Majesty ask him to ask Concubine Yi what kind of incense she used? After he brought it back, His Majesty asked him to light it. But now...

Lin Xiruo didn't wake up until midnight. When she saw the tent in front of her, she took a long time to remember what happened today. She immediately cursed: "Damn Concubine Hui, how dare you plot against me!"

She hadn't even planned to deal with her, but she dared to deal with her first! Her pretty face was dark.

Not only did he have a headache, but his waist also hurt badly. When he lifted up his head, he saw a bruise on the side of his waist, which made him even more furious. Fortunately, Lu Qi and others had already applied medicine.

At this time, he hurried to comfort her: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. His Majesty has already vented his anger for you. He has removed Concubine Hui's title of concubine, and also changed Concubine Zhang to Concubine Zhang. Please calm down."

Lin Xiruo was stunned and stared at them: "Really? Is the emperor so kind?"

Suddenly, thinking of what Concubine Hui and Zhang Zhaoyi had said, he frowned and stared at them: "Tell me the truth, does the emperor really favor Linzhi?" But he didn't believe it in his heart. Who would be interested in that timid concubine's daughter?

At this time, only Lu Qi and Lu Zhu were in the palace. Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "We don't know the specific situation, but His Majesty does only come to Cuiwei Palace, and the whole palace also says that His Majesty favors the Third Miss, but." Ji Ji said, "I think His Majesty must be attracted to the Empress, so he treats the Miss differently."

He looked at her flatteringly, "Your Majesty is extremely beautiful and your playing of the zither is extraordinary. Wasn't it because of you that His Majesty was attracted to enter Cuiwei Palace?"

"His Majesty not only punished them, but also gave the Queen many gifts, including a hundred-year-old ginseng. His Majesty has never treated the Third Miss like this!"

Luzhu looked at her in disbelief.

Lin Xieruo was a little surprised, then turned away in disgust: "I despise people like him who are ruthless and merciless. I love the humble and modest gentleman like King Rui. Don't pollute my ears with such words. Okay, go out and don't bother me here."

The two of them retreated respectfully and closed the door. Lu Zhen immediately questioned Lu Qi: "What did you mean by those words just now? It's obvious that His Majesty cares about the Third Miss!"

Lu Qi laughed: "I was just afraid that the young lady would be suspicious, so I said that on purpose to prevent her from getting suspicious of the third young lady. What are you thinking?"

Luzhu was half-believing and half-doubting, but Luqi's explanation seemed to be right, so she stopped asking.

Lu Qi walked behind her and looked back at the bedroom. The Third Miss was right. She really had no relatives in the Shangshu Mansion. However, the Third Miss didn't know that she had always been in love with the son of the housekeeper in the mansion. If she followed the Third Miss, she would have to be an old maid in the palace for the rest of her life. If the eldest lady was willing to take her out of the palace because of her sincerity...
