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

Chapter 390 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 33-34 (Two in One)

"How, how could it be, you are the concubine of King Rui, if His Majesty knew..."

Aunt Li suddenly looked at Linzhi, nervously held her hand, and said in panic: "His Majesty, is he okay?" She looked outside and didn't dare to say it out loud, but Linzhi understood what she meant.

"You are here, His Majesty naturally knows."

Seeing her face suddenly turn pale, Lin Zhi hurriedly comforted her: "Prince Rui and the Lin family are the culprits in this matter. His Majesty will not punish us, Auntie, don't worry."

Aunt Li nodded, but her eyes were complicated when she looked at her: "Then you and His Majesty..." She looked at the mark on her neck that was accidentally exposed.

Lin Zhi pulled her clothes to cover her face uncomfortably, "Your Majesty treats me very well, I don't plan to leave the palace." Looking at her, "But Aunt, didn't you say you wanted to go back to Jiangnan to look for your relatives? I will arrange for someone to help you look for them. If you can't find them and you want to stay there, I will buy you a yard, and you won't have to be a concubine of the Lin family anymore."

Aunt Li once said that she was abducted by a kidnapper and later sold to the capital, where she became a maid of the old lady in the Lin family.

She remembered that her parents were very kind to her when she was a child, but she was too young at the time and could not remember her family's surnames and addresses. However, she always looked forward to meeting her family.

"My daughter knows that you have been living an unhappy life. You don't have to endure them anymore."

Aunt Li stared blankly at her daughter in front of her, feeling she was a stranger. Then tears fell and she hugged Lin Zhi tightly. Her daughter was so innocent before she got married, but now she was forced to face these calculations. Now she has to protect her in return: "It's mother who is useless." She choked with sobs.

"You raised your daughter with your care, and now it's your daughter's turn to protect you."

He did not stop her and waited until Aunt Li finished crying. When Aunt Li asked her seriously about the real situation, he told her everything about how Lin had repeatedly threatened the original owner without hiding anything.

Although a mother is strong, Lin Zhi was also afraid that Aunt Li would be afraid of getting herself into trouble and finally return to the Lin Mansion to fall into their trap. She said solemnly: "Only if you leave, your daughter will not be threatened by them anymore."

Aunt Li was filled with hatred and anger, but she had no ability to help her daughter. She said with tears in her eyes: "But if I leave, what will you do? If they can't find me, they will definitely look for you." She thought of the day when she was about to fall asleep and suddenly someone covered her mouth with a handkerchief and knocked her unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar yard. After listening to the servants, she realized that it was her daughter who did it.

Afterwards, she was trembling with fear, listening to someone outside the door saying that a remote courtyard of the Lin family was on fire, and she was afraid that they would go looking for their daughter.

I just think my daughter is really brave. What if she is discovered by the Lin family and Prince Rui?

Now that I know the truth, I am even more worried.

"Will His Majesty protect you? After all, you were once the King Rui..."

"meeting."

Aunt Li was stunned, and saw her daughter's usually calm face flushed slightly: "Mother, Prince Rui only has my eldest sister in his heart. Although he married me, he never touched me. He just asked me to dress up as my eldest sister." After a pause, "Your Majesty knows all this, don't worry."

Aunt Li was stunned, feeling relieved and distressed. She finally hugged her daughter and said, "How could they treat you like this? You are also a lady of the Lin family."

Lin Zhi didn't know how to respond to this. From childhood to adulthood, the treatment she and her mother had received in the Lin family was not that of a young lady. Only Aunt Li always had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that after all, she was of the Lin family's bloodline, and the Lin family could not be so cruel.

She even had hopes for Prince Rui, hoping that her daughter would finally live a good life, but the truth was so cruel.

He hugged her back and whispered words of comfort.

Then she asked Aunt Li how she came to the imperial manor, and she told her that she was brought here directly, and the servants stayed in the city. However, she came here only to go to the kitchen yesterday to cook and serve the food. She usually stayed in the yard, and no one made things difficult for her.

Lin Zhi's expression relaxed. She thought so too. Although Xiao Yuan looked like someone who was not easy to deal with, he was not that harsh on the female members of his family.

The mother and daughter chatted for the entire afternoon until a palace maid came to remind her that His Majesty asked her if she had finished her work.

Aunt Li was a little flustered: "Then, then Aunt Li will go back first."

Lin Zhi nodded and stood up: "My daughter will see you off." Knowing that Aunt Li was not in trouble, she felt relieved.

Aunt Li said no, she was naturally afraid of the imperial power, and was about to leave in a hurry, but after walking two steps she came back and saw her daughter's puzzled look, her face was as beautiful as morning dew, and worry flashed in her eyes: "His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he treats you well now, but you don't know what he will do in the future, and those concubines in the harem... you should take this opportunity to ask for a favor, so that if he gets tired of you one day, you can protect yourself."

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, all of them are daughters carefully raised by every family in the imperial city. There are few bad ones. Your Majesty loves his daughters now, but as time goes by, how long can this love last?

Besides, she was really worried about her daughter's identity.

Lin Zhi blinked her eyes: "Aunt, I understand."

Aunt Li didn't know whether she really understood what she meant, but the palace servants were waiting at the door, so she didn't have time to say too much and could only retreat helplessly.

Soon he followed the palace maid and left.

Lin Zhi turned back to the palace. She understood Aunt Li's concerns. She was afraid that Xiao Yuan would only treat her as a plaything and discard her when the novelty wore off. She would end up in a miserable situation.

But she never gave much thought to such things and just did it first.

Not long after, footsteps were heard at the door of the hall. She turned around and saw Xiao Yuan stepping in. He glanced at her and asked, "How was the talk with your mother?" Then he sat down next to her.

He stretched out his arms and grabbed her in his arms, his deep gaze fell on her face, and saw her slightly red eyes.

"Cried?"

The palace servant was still at the door. Lin Zhi felt a little uncomfortable and avoided his hand: "It's settled." She looked up at him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." This was said sincerely.

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Thank me for what?"

Lin Zhi's eyes were as gentle as water. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not scaring my aunt. I was worried that the Lin family and the Rui Palace would suspect that the fire was a misunderstanding and search the whole city for someone. I am relieved that my aunt was taken away by you. However, Your Majesty, I still want to ask for a favor."

Xiao Yuan glanced at her face and said nonchalantly: "You have already asked me for many favors last night."

"You don't let me use palace maids. After returning to the palace, you don't want to go to the imperial study anymore, saying you are afraid of the cold. You let me go to Cuiwei Palace by myself. You also want the imperial kitchen to cook different meals for you every ten days. You want the most beautiful clothes and the most beautiful jewelry. You want me to be faster, but you also want me to be slower." His mouth was blocked by a hand.

Lin Zhi's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, "Your Majesty, it's different, this is a serious matter." She looked at him, "What do you want in exchange for agreeing?"

Xiao Yuan: "I can agree, but there is a condition. You must live in my bedroom when you return."

Lin Zhi was surprised: "That's it?"

Xiao Yuan's smile deepened: "That's it."

Lin Zhi thought about it. This would not affect her at all. It would also save her from running back and forth every day. Cuiwei Palace was far from the Imperial Study. The only possibility was that Prince Rui and the Lin family would be restless after knowing this. However, this was something he considered, so he nodded and said, "I agree."

When Xiao Yuan learned that it was Aunt Li who was to be sent away from the capital, he nodded and told his subordinates to do it. The next day, he had dinner with Aunt Li and the other two.

But Aunt Li was so nervous that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily. Xiao Yuan looked normal, chatting with Lin Zhi about trivial matters. Although his power remained undiminished, it made Lin Zhi feel that it was rare.

The next day, Lin Zhi said goodbye to Aunt Li at the imperial farm. Although it was a bit hasty, Aunt Li would only have wild thoughts if she stayed in the capital. If she went at the right time, she might be able to find her grandfather's family earlier and spend a reunion year together.

Aunt Li glanced at the young emperor who was standing not far away and listening to Chief Steward Gao's report, then looked at her daughter. She had been wanting to have a detailed talk with her daughter in the past few days, but the emperor always went in and out with her daughter, so she couldn't find a chance.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally touched his daughter's face: "Take good care of yourself in Beijing, don't worry about me."

Lin Zhi nodded, and was particularly reluctant to leave: "Aunt, if you find my grandparents, it's fine if they are nice. If they don't treat you well, you can live alone. Don't wrong yourself. If you miss me, just write a letter, and the palace servants will deliver the letter to the capital."

Aunt Li nodded, and the two finally parted reluctantly, watching Aunt Li get on the carriage and leave.

Next she would go to Xiangcheng, a hundred miles away, and then take a boat and head south.

The carriage became a small black dot at the end of the road.

He put an arm around her waist and said, "Why do you have to look so sad? Jiangnan is only seven or eight days away from the capital. If you miss her, just let her go to the capital."

Lin Zhi looked up and saw Xiao Yuan's indifferent expression, and smiled: "Your Majesty is right. By the way, should we go back to the palace as well?"

The two of them entered the imperial farm. She looked around with some reluctance. It was such a rare leisurely day.

When she left the palace this time, she brought Luzhu, Luyi and several second-class palace maids with her, but they were taken away by Xiao Yuan as soon as they arrived here. Lurong and Luqi, who was constantly making small moves, were left in the palace, probably because they had something else to do when they returned.

Xiao Yuan lowered his head: "Stay one more night."

Lin Zhi smiled instantly: "Okay!"

She happily went to the hot spring with Xiao Yuan, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore. Xiao Yuan was really interested in other things. She only had time to look at the flowers by the hot spring and take a few bites of the fruits before she fell into an endless entanglement.

The next day, when she woke up, she was already on a rickety carriage heading towards the capital.

She pinched the soft flesh on his waist in anger, entered the imperial city and the palace, and agreed to move him to his bedroom the next day. After he was called away to attend to court affairs, she returned to Cuiwei Palace.

A few days after leaving the palace, Cuiwei Palace was still the same. Songzi and Lurong brought people to see her.

Songzi reported to her what had happened in the palace in the past few days, such as when she came to apologize to her, but learned that she and His Majesty had left the palace to take a hot spring bath in the imperial estate, and Zhang Zhaoyi, who was stunned. No, now she should be called Zhang Pin.

Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen also came to visit, but when they learned that he was not there, they all went back.

As for some of those whose ranks were so low that she couldn't even remember their names, there was no need to mention them. In addition, the Lin family sent the New Year gifts to the palace again and they were all placed in the warehouse.

Lin Zhi suddenly realized and thought of this, a smile flashed in her eyes: "I think Madam is going to bleed heavily."

The last time I entered the palace, Xiao Yuan came so suddenly that even if I was unwilling, I had to change the gift list and send it to the palace again this time, otherwise I would be punished by the emperor. I said, "I'll go and take a look later."

He looked around and said, "Lurong stays here, everyone else go down."

Lu Rong took out a letter from her bosom and said, "My Lady, I found this on Lu Qi's bed. That bitch really tried to pass the message outside the palace while you were away, but I stopped her."

"Don't open your mouth bitch."

After a light reprimand, Lin Zhi took the letter, which was sealed with wax. Lu Rong did not open it privately, so she tore it open casually and read it with a raised eyebrow. In fact, there was not much content, but it just told Lin Xiruo that she and his majesty went to take a hot spring bath, and his majesty treated her well, but she should have been the one to enjoy all this, and the third lady took advantage of her, etc.

"..." Looking at Lu Rong, "Do you know who else Lu Qi cares about in the Lin Mansion?"

Lu Rong looked puzzled: "Lv Qi and I were both sold into the mansion and have no relatives."

Seeing her determined face, Lin Zhi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, go ask Luzhu. They seem to be closer than usual, so maybe she knows." Lurong's competitive nature made it difficult for her to open up to others.

Lu Rong looked aggrieved when she heard this. Did she and Lu Qi have a bad relationship? But now she claimed that she knew that the emperor really valued the third lady, not the eldest lady, so she had to shut up and go out to find Lu Zhu.

Since he had nothing to do, Linzhi immediately became interested and called Songzi to ask someone to open the warehouse.

Songzi took out the gift list that Meng had just sent and looked at it. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she looked at the gift list, she found that they were all good things, such as red coral, pearls and agate, which were rare treasures.

As expected, the emperor's appearance is still useful.

Seeing the locked room next to her, she remembered that it was Lin Xiruo's warehouse. Lin Xiruo was in a hurry to leave the palace, so these big items were left in the palace. She opened it and looked inside, curling her lips. It turned out to be her own daughter. The things she bought were carefully and were all good things.

However, unless Prince Rui succeeds in his conspiracy, these things will probably belong to her in the future.

He left the warehouse with a smile on his face, however, he had a big fight with Xiao Yuan last night and was tired, so he went back to rest and didn't wake up until the evening.

An arm was across her waist. She looked up and saw Xiao Yuan's chin. He was reading a book leisurely. When he noticed the movement in his arms, he lowered his eyes and said, "Finally he woke up."

Lin Zhi blushed: "It's all your Majesty's fault!"

He tortured her until her whole body was broken, but he himself was full of energy and could handle government affairs when he returned to the palace. He couldn't help but pinch his subordinate's chest. He had hardly seen him exercise, so how could he have such good physical strength?

His hand was grabbed: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine, it won't be too late after dinner."

Lin Zhi... pulled her hand back: "That's not what I meant!" She threw off the quilt, got out of bed, put on her clothes, turned around and saw Xiao Yuan holding the scroll with his hand supporting his forehead, looking at her with a smile, her face flushed and he looked away.

That night, Xiao Yuan rested in Cuiwei Palace.

When some palace servants who were paying attention to Cuiwei Palace learned that the emperor and Linzhi had returned to the palace, they quickly passed the news back to their masters.

The next day, when Linzhi woke up at dawn, she heard that many concubines had come to the front hall.

She was stunned for a moment, dressed, washed, and walked into the front hall. She saw more than a dozen concubines sitting or standing inside. She thought to herself, although there was no queen in the harem and the four concubines were the most respected, Lin Xiruo didn't like to pay attention to them, and she didn't like people coming to visit her either.

So this is the first time I have seen so many concubines.

She walked in with a smile and found that the one with the highest rank was a Zhaoyi named Chu Mei, who had always liked to follow behind Zhang Zhaoyi, and now she still had Zhang Concubine by her side, and it was obvious that Zhang Concubine still came first.

After a round of greetings, Linzhi asked them what they were doing there. She was not the queen, so there was no need to pay them a visit.

Zhangpin stepped forward and said, "Madam Yifei, I am here to apologize to you."

Tomorrow, more updates!!
