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

Chapter 397 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 43-45
In the palace.

Lin Xieruo was waiting for Xiao Yuan in Cuiwei Palace, but for several days, the emperor did not enter the harem, nor did he send anyone to come, and he had no intention of summoning her.

She was completely confused. She had clearly received news that the emperor was very fond of that bitch Lin Zhi and they slept with her in bed every day. How could the news be different now?

Ask Lurong and others.

Lu Rong and Lu Zhu had already surrendered to Lin Zhi. Although they didn't know why the second lady left the palace with Prince Rui, they had no intention of betraying her.

Lu Rong knew that His Majesty had long known about the exchange of Lin Xieruo and the Second Miss, and that the one he really liked was the Second Miss. Especially now that she saw that she had clearly followed Prince Rui and had the shamelessness to enter the palace, but was thrown back to Cuiwei Palace by His Majesty, she almost laughed out loud.

Lin Xieruo asked directly, "Your Majesty and the Second Miss are very good to each other. They give various rewards every day, and they often eat together. The Second Miss also lives in His Majesty's bedroom, but when it comes to you..."

He paused deliberately, and only continued speaking innocently when he saw Lin Xiruo's dark face.

"Miss, why don't you reflect on yourself and ask yourself what you have done to make His Majesty dislike you? The second lady left such a good situation, please don't ruin it."

The longer she stayed with Lin Zhi, the more she felt that she was stupid for siding with Lin Xieruo. This young lady didn't treat them as human beings at all and beat and scolded them at will.

They are responsible for everything and don't care if they die.

I have been in the palace for so long, but I didn't see Lu Ru and didn't even think of asking her. I guess I have forgotten about her long ago.

Lin Xiruo shouted: "How dare you! Who told you to talk to me like that? Luqi, slap your face!"

Lu Qi was surprised and couldn't help but look at Lu Rong, hesitant. Although she had secretly sided with Lin Xiruo, Lu Rong and Lu Zhu Songzi had more power in Cuiwei Palace, and the people below listened to them more.

She is now listening to Lin Xiruo and beating people, but she doesn't know how they will make things difficult for her in the future.

Hesitantly, he said, "Your Majesty, Lu Rong's words are a bit harsh, but the Second Miss did have a close relationship with Your Majesty when she was here. Now I don't know if something has happened that suddenly sent you back to Cuiwei Palace. Why don't we go and find out first?"

In fact, she was also surprised by what happened after Lin Xiruo returned to the palace.

It is incredible that a pampered and charming legitimate daughter is not as good as a concubine's daughter who is ignored by everyone.

Lin Xieruo looked at these palace maids, none of whom listened to her, and was very angry. However, what they said made sense, so she would deal with them later.

He immediately sent someone to the imperial study.

After everyone left, she walked up to Lu Rong and slapped her in the face: "Bitch, you dare to mock me, you are looking for death." She did not even spare Lu Qi and Lu Zhu, and slapped them hard a few times before she calmed down, and then told them to get out.

Lu Rong and the others left the palace, gnashing their teeth: "A man who is destined to die early dares to hit me."

She looked at Lu Qi and said coldly, "Lu Qi, you betrayed the second young lady and joined the eldest young lady. Ha, I hope you get the last laugh." She turned and left. She had known about Lu Qi's betrayal for a long time, and now that the second young lady was not around, she didn't even want to hide it.

Not long after, the person who was sent came back, and it was said that he was turned away without even seeing His Majesty.

Lin Xiruo panicked.

She abandoned Prince Rui and entered the palace just to become a favorite concubine, and later become the queen, the most noble woman in the entire dynasty.

But now the emperor ignores her. How can she give birth to a child and gain status as a mother by having a child?

He originally wanted to pretend to be reserved, but now he could no longer care about that and took the initiative to lead people to the imperial study. Gao Peng and the eunuch guarding the door were waiting outside the door, and the palace door was closed.

She straightened her clothes, walked forward and asked with a smile if His Majesty was busy. She brought some soup for His Majesty.

Please ask Gao Peng to go in and report.

She didn't even answer the high-frequency connection, and just let Lu Qi beside her hold the food box and fakely smile: "His Majesty has ordered that you don't see anyone. Your Majesty, please go back." Her attitude was extremely perfunctory.

She looked at him calmly, sneering in her heart. Even if she wore the empress's clothes, put on the same makeup, and tried to speak gently, her eyes were full of disdain for him and arrogance as a legitimate daughter. She looked at him as if he were an ugly fly. If she hadn't taken into account that he was the eunuch of His Majesty, she would probably not even bother to talk to him.

He curled his lips, thinking that this was really embarrassing for this noble lady.

Lin Xieruo didn't expect that he dared to treat her like this. She cursed him as a eunuch and looked at Lu Qi. Lu Qi hurried forward and stuffed the banknote into his hands.

Being pushed away coldly by him, Gao Peng said: "My lady, please don't make things difficult for our family."

Surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, Lin Xieruo felt as if her back was pierced by gazes. She almost bit her teeth to pieces. This damn eunuch had made her so humiliated. When she was favored by the emperor in the future, she would cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in her heart.

She forced a smile and said, "In that case, I'll come again tomorrow." No matter how unwilling she was, she had to leave.

As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw a eunuch coming over with a food box. He reported to Gao Peng and spoke in a low voice. Gao Peng smiled and gave him some change, then carried the things into the hall.

The door was half-open and a pink skirt flashed by.

Lin Xieruo was surprised and wanted to go forward to see clearly, but the palace servants stopped her and prevented her from getting closer. The palace door was closed, and the scene inside could no longer be seen.

He frowned. Is there a woman inside?

After leaving this place, they saw a eunuch delivering cakes not far away, so they asked the palace maid to stop the man and asked him what kind of cakes he had just delivered.

The young eunuch had no idea whether the imperial concubine was real or fake. He only knew that Concubine Yi was the most favored concubine in the palace and the emperor's favorite. He did not hide anything and told her the cakes he had sent her: Yusu cake, Ruyi cake...

Let the little eunuch leave.

Lin Xieruo stood in the cold wind, clenched her fists, and looked extremely ugly. Those pastries were what women loved to eat.

Thinking of the pink dress she had just caught a glimpse of, she felt that her guess was right. The reason why the emperor didn't see her and drove her out of the bedroom was because he had another woman. She went back with a gloomy face and hurriedly asked Lu Rong to find out.

But he found that all the concubines in the harem were there.

That could only be the original maid in the Imperial Study. She couldn't help but sneer. Is this what that bitch Lin Zhi meant by favor? She turned around and favored other women. I don't know how much of the so-called favor was true.

At this moment, she secretly regretted that she shouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave King Rui.

After hearing Lin Xieruo's guess, Lu Rong had some vague speculation in her mind. After checking the harem according to Lin Xieruo's instructions, she became more and more convinced that the person in the imperial study was the second lady!
When Lin Xiruo asked the palace maid to go to the imperial study again, she went there on her own initiative. After being rejected again, she took out the hairpin that the second young lady had given her before and asked the palace maid to help give it to the girl inside. This time, she was allowed in and saw the living empress together with His Majesty.

The two of them went into the back hall to talk, and she left soon after with a smug look on her face.

Lin Zhi sat back beside Xiao Yuan. He asked a question and smiled as he told her that Lu Rong had guessed the truth. His tone was quite satisfied with Lu Rong. She didn't like her scheming in the past, but among the palace maids, she was indeed smarter.

Just let Lurong keep an eye on Cuiwei Palace and tell her if there is any movement.

Xiao Yuan just responded indifferently. He had no interest in a palace maid.

Lin Zhi asked him what was going on with Prince Rui, and he sneered, "He has long had the intention of rebellion, and now he is actively uniting the remaining ministers. His subordinates have also begun to stir up trouble everywhere. With such a big commotion, he probably thinks I am a dead man who can't hear anything."

However, apart from some extremely daring or greedy ones, many of them had boarded the pirate ship and could not get off. They were threatened to follow King Rui, and they were dissatisfied and were trying to find a way out.

He doesn't care about these.

Now that we have the list, no matter if they are coerced or not, if they dare to participate in the rebellion, they will die. Lin Zhi smiled awkwardly. Prince Rui is the male protagonist and has confidence. In addition, although Xiao Yuan knows everything, he does not take any action. Seeing them seeking death, he naturally acts more recklessly.

One can't help but wonder whether he will use assassination tactics this time.

The male protagonist naturally cares more about his reputation than the villain. Although he conspires with ministers to usurp the throne, no one in the world knows about it. For the sake of his own good reputation and to get to the throne more easily, he might use this method.

But he had no way to deal with Lin Xiruo now, as he was well protected by Xiao Yuan.

He wanted to send in assassins, which was much more troublesome than in the plot.

The two waited patiently.

But Prince Rui hadn't made any move yet, and Shangshu Fu entered the palace again.

She was kept in the palace and refused to leave for a long time. Meng and Minister Lin could not sit still any longer and wanted to go into the palace to ask about it. This time Wang took the initiative to say that she was going into the palace. She was instructed by the eldest son Lin to tell Lin Zhi the news of her biological mother's death in order to gain some benefits in advance.

But Xiao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to them and sent them away with a sentence "My beloved concubine likes it, please stay a few more days."

Young Master Lin was helpless.

Since the concubine could not come back, Meng and Minister Lin also realized that something was wrong, and Minister Lin hurriedly inquired about the news in the palace.

But he found that the entire palace was like an iron tunnel and he couldn't reach his hand in at all.

His many years of experience as an official made him very alarmed, and he immediately sent people to investigate whether it was the emperor or Prince Rui who did it.

If it's His Majesty, it's fine. If it's Prince Rui...

These actions could not escape Xiao Yuan's sight. He sneered, he was just a arrogant old fox. There was no need to care about him, he was a dying man.

He acted as usual in the court, and secretly sent his trusted generals to ambush halfway between Prince Rui's fiefdom and the capital. As expected, they encountered Prince Rui's private army kept in the fiefdom. Although they were disguised as civilians, they still could not escape their eyes.

Destroy it in one fell swoop.

The assassins sent by King Rui to launch a surprise attack on Xiao Yuan's trusted general came up empty-handed. The person on the bed was a dummy. Thinking they had been tricked, they hurriedly turned around and tried to escape. However, the soldiers guarding outside the tent pounced on them and hacked them to death.

King Rui knew nothing about this.

On this side, Lin Zhi also received news from Lu Rong. Lin Xieruo came to her senses and finally found out that Lu Ru was not there. She asked them, and they all said that Lu Ru had committed a crime and went to other places.

She asked them to look for it. Lu Rong and the others said they would go to look for it, but they kept saying that Lu Ru was busy.

Finally, Lin Xieruo felt something was wrong, so she left Lu Qi to interrogate her. Lu Qi finally said that Lu Ru was dead. She was shocked, and then she got angry with the servants. Lu Rong and others were all given several severe blows.

After that, she only trusted Lu Qi, and brought back a few maids from the laundry department. She demoted Lu Rong and others to third-class palace maids, who were not even allowed to enter the palace gate.

Cuiwei Palace was overhauled, and Songzi was stripped of her position as manager and given to someone else.

After seeing this, Linzhi asked someone to go back and tell Lurong to take good care of her injuries.

Deep in thought, although it was just a replacement of palace maids, the situation is tense now, and the people inside might have been mixed with King Rui's own people - the hero's ability cannot be underestimated.

Two days later, Lin Xiruo came to the imperial study to find the emperor again. After being driven away, she did not return to the palace, but waited until Xiao Yuan went out and suddenly appeared to block her way.

There were a few concubines of lower status standing in the distance, looking at this side.

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you." She tried to move forward, but Gao Peng blocked her way. She glared at him, then looked inside the sedan chair and said again, "Your Majesty, it's a big deal."

Lin Zhi was also in the sedan chair. Through the gap, although Lin Xieruo was still beautiful, she looked a little more haggard and embarrassed for no reason. She must have been unhappy these days.

Looking at the palace maid behind her, her view was obstructed and she couldn't see clearly.

I can only give up.

"Gao Peng, let's go."

Xiao Yuan didn't want to pay any attention to it.

The sedan chair was lifted up. Lin Xiruo could no longer hold back and was shaking with anger. She had said all that, but Xiao Yuan didn't even listen to what she said and just left.

Loudly: "It is the King of Rui, Your Majesty, I am talking about the King of Rui!"

Lin Zhi and Xiao Yuan looked at each other and were speechless. Is the heroine going to sell out Prince Rui to please Xiao Yuan?

My emotions were complicated and indescribable.

Xiao Yuan had an interesting smile on his face: "Oh? In that case, follow me." The sedan chair did not stop and went to the bedroom.

Lin Xiruo could only follow quickly behind.

The concubine who saw this scene from a distance was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief. Could it be that this bitch was favored again?
A few days ago, His Majesty drove someone out of the bedroom, and everyone was secretly happy and laughed for a long time.

Back in the bedroom, Lin Xieruo was not allowed to get close. She was kept at a distance by the eunuchs and could not see Xiao Yuan coming out of the imperial carriage at all. After waiting for a long time, it seemed that everything was arranged in the palace before they were allowed to go in. They were all frozen.

The palace was as warm as spring. The emperor had changed into a dark robe embroidered with gold edges. He was pouring tea leisurely. The screen behind him made it impossible to see what was happening behind him.

"Tell me, what happened to Prince Rui?" He got straight to the point.

Lin Xiruo couldn't help it, raised her red eyes, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, was your kindness to me in the past all fake? I loved you so much..."

The cup was placed heavily on the table. Xiao Yuan looked at him coldly: "If you don't want to talk, get out."

Lin Xiruo... From his face, there was no trace of friendship, only disgust. A chill rose from the soles of her feet. Did this man really care about her? Seeing his increasingly impatient expression, she lowered her head and considered her words: "It was my sister who came to the palace two days ago and told me that His Royal Highness Prince Rui has been dissatisfied with you for a long time."

Xiao Yuan waited for a long time, but she didn't hear him continue, "That's it?"

"And." Lin Xieruo bit her lower lip. She could vaguely sense what King Rui was doing, but it was just a love affair, and she couldn't say it to ruin him for the time being. She made up her mind and said, "King Rui."

Before he could say anything, the tea in front of him suddenly exploded.

The palace maid who came in with her suddenly flashed past her, holding a dagger, and pointed it at Xiao Yuan. She was stunned.

Xiao Yuan reacted quickly and lifted up the table to block in front of him. The palace maid missed her first attack and attacked again, but was blocked by the secret guards. They fought each other for a while, but Xiao Yuan had his ribs broken by two secret guards and was forced to his knees on the ground.

Gao Peng rushed in when he heard the noise and was now checking whether his Majesty was injured.

Xiao Yuan said nothing happened, turned around to comfort Lin Zhi who came out from behind the screen, and then looked at the scene in front of him. Lin Xiruo had been frightened by the scene in front of her, and at this moment she hurriedly looked up and explained: "Your Majesty, it was not arranged by me. I don't know this person. Do you believe..." and saw Lin Zhi beside him.

His pupils widened, "Linzhi?"
