Chapter 392 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 35
"Last time you fell into the water, I was by your side but failed to stop Concubine Hui, and you caught a cold. His Majesty was furious... I wonder if your Majesty is feeling better?"

Although Lin Zhi did not like Concubine Hui's arrogance and bullying of the original owner, she was even more annoyed by the fact that Concubine Zhang, who looked gentle and generous, was secretly making trouble.

She said calmly, "Your Majesty has already investigated the matter. It was Concubine Hui's fault. There is no need for Concubine Zhang to come and apologize in person. Let's end this matter here."

Concubine Zhang was touched: "I'm glad that Your Majesty is not angry with me. I have been worried and uneasy these days. I wanted to come and apologize to you. I feel relieved to see that you are okay." She patted her chest, looking relieved.

Lin Zhi smiled faintly and did not respond.

At this time, Lu Rong stepped forward and said, "My queen is tired. If you ladies are fine, please leave first." The highest-ranking person present was only Zhaoyi. As one of the four concubines, she did not need to be too polite to them.

A look of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the concubines, but they all bowed and left, not daring to say anything.

As soon as everyone left, Linzhi went back to have dinner and asked the palace servants to prepare something. When the emperor's people arrived later, they would move to his bedroom.

As for the concubines who left Cuiwei Palace, some went back alone, such as Zhangpin and Chu Mei, who walked together, followed by palace servants who comforted Zhangpin: "Sister Zhang, why did you have to come and apologize to her in person? She was just lucky to be favored by His Majesty to suffer such humiliation."

"Now there are only three concubines left from the four concubines, and the position of Huifei is vacant. Who else but you can take on the position in this harem?"

"Your father is highly valued by His Majesty in the court. His Majesty will promote you to that position sooner or later."

Zhang Concubine's face was full of bitterness: "I dare not think about the position of Concubine. I just happened to go to the Imperial Garden that day, but I was also blamed by His Majesty and demoted. Now that Concubine Yi is in the limelight, how dare I confront her? I have to be careful to avoid being hated."

Chu Mei instantly shared the same hatred for the enemy: "It clearly has nothing to do with you, but His Majesty actually took out his anger on you just to help her vent her anger, but."

She looked around and suddenly approached Concubine Zhang.
"That day she fell into the water, and the imperial physician felt her pulse. He said that the water was too cold and she accidentally hit her waist. She might have trouble having children in the future."

Zhang Bin's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at her in surprise.

Chu Mei covered her lips and smiled, "So Sister Zhang, she won't be arrogant for long, don't worry."

Zhang Bin blinked her eyes, and then said in a surprised tone: "It's really like this."

The two of them whispered and laughed as they left.

Lin Zhi was unaware of the discussions of outsiders. After she had finished her meal, the palace maids had packed her things. Chief Steward Gao also brought people to start moving things. She also got on the sedan chair and went to the emperor's bedroom.

Some concubines who had not walked far away stopped to watch when they saw this scene.

When they learned that they were moving to His Majesty's bedroom, all the concubines were stunned. No matter the fallen dynasty or the previous emperors, no one would let the concubine move in with them even if they doted on them.

Even the queen, as a couple, only lived in the queen's bedroom.

Your Majesty, this... everyone felt it was incredible.

Chu Mei and Zhang Pin also widened their eyes when they heard the noise. Zhang Pin's nails were broken directly and bleeding profusely, but she didn't even notice it.

It was Linzhi’s first time to visit the palace, and it was terribly cold inside. Although there was a floor heating in the room, it still felt chilly.

The dragon bed was bright yellow and embroidered with a four-clawed dragon. She touched it and found it inexplicably cute.

"What are you looking at?" came a voice from behind.

She turned around and saw Xiao Yuan had already returned from court. The palace maid took off his cloak for him. She walked over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I am laughing at you. If you make such a fuss, there will definitely be unrest in the harem and the court tomorrow. They will all call me a witch concubine in the future."

He already had a bad reputation, and now that he dotes on his concubine like this, who knows what kind of rumors will spread outside.

She naturally didn't care about these things, but he was the emperor, and his reputation was still very important. Xiao Yuan snorted coldly: "Let them dare to say a word to my face."

Lin Zhi was speechless. That was true. He had always acted without restraint. Now he was not killing anyone. He was just favoring a concubine. Even if the ministers were dissatisfied, they could not do anything about it.

But... "Your Majesty, Prince Rui dared to replace me and my elder sister. He has no respect for you at all. He must have big plans. You have to be careful of him." All his ministers were pried away, but he was still kept in the dark.

The two of them are now very close friends, so Lin Zhi no longer cares about these things.

"It's winter now, and it's snowing in the capital and other places. People may have houses collapse and mountains blocked by snow. If he takes this opportunity to use his fame to improve his reputation, the people will only remember his good deeds."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows: "My beloved concubine, it is a serious crime to discuss state affairs without permission."

Lin Zhi…looked at him and said, “Okay, then your majesty, punish me.”

This reaction made Xiao Yuan speechless for a moment. He pinched her face and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder." Then he said, "I've made a note of it. I'll have someone keep an eye on him."

Lin Zhi frowned: "Why are you just staring at him? You should let the ministers do it and help the people..."

Her chin was suddenly pinched, and she pouted. She looked at Xiao Yuan in confusion. Xiao Yuan stared at her: "You want me to be a good emperor?"

Lin Zhi suddenly reacted and whispered: "No, can't I?"

Xiao Yuan: "I never thought about being a good emperor."

He fought for the throne because he didn't want anyone to ride on his head again, not because he wanted to be a good emperor who served the country and the people. He seemed to have heard something interesting and looked at Lin Zhi with interest.

Lin Zhi could sense that what he said was true: "But Your Majesty, I hope you can be a good emperor." She wrapped her arms around his waist and put her face against his chest. "Prince Rui is ambitious and definitely wants to be more than just a prince. I am with you now and I don't want anything to happen to you."

"If something happens to you, what will I do? If you have a child in the future, what will happen to our child?"

Xiao Yuan froze suddenly.

"They will definitely be killed by King Rui."

Xiao Yuan only heard one sentence: "Are you pregnant?" and looked at her belly in disbelief.

Lin Zhi was speechless. Although she knew from the system that it was 80% successful, she said so much, but he only heard this one sentence. He snorted, "I think so." But she saw his face relax, and then turned around to call the palace servants.

She was startled and covered her stomach, "It's past the time, the contraceptive soup is useless!"

Damn it, do you still want her to drink contraceptive soup?

Xiao Yuan frowned tightly, and Lin Zhi's heart sank. This was the first time a father didn't want a child. She gritted her teeth and said, "In short, Your Majesty, you must kill Prince Rui and his followers, otherwise."

She looked at him and said, "I will, I will eat and drink well, and give birth to eight or ten children for you, and then we can go on the road together as a family."

Xiao Yuan didn't expect that she would threaten him like this.

I felt a little amused, but when I saw her clutching her sleeves, her eyes reddened, and she was obviously uneasy, my heart suddenly softened and I hugged her in my arms: "Why are you crying? I promise you."

"Promise me to be a good emperor?"

"...Yes." His arms tightened and his voice became hoarse, "I won't let anything happen to you and the child."

…I ordered some takeout. I ate it all day and now I feel really weak. I’ll post today’s chapter first and update it tomorrow~
