Chapter 358 The cold tyrant & the scheming concubine 2
Ling Zhi looked at the clothes she was wearing. They were those of a concubine of the royal palace. The maid opposite appeared to be her maid, but in fact it was sent by Mrs. Shangshu to keep an eye on her. Seeing as she is married to Prince Rui, she is actually still under the control of Mrs. Shangshu.
The original owner was a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, and her status in the mansion with her aunt was not as good as that of cats and dogs.
The reason why Aunt Li became the aunt was because the old lady didn't like the match between the two of them. She sent Lin Shangshu over while he was drunk, and they became their common roommates afterwards.
It took a month to diagnose the happy pulse, until the original owner was born and was raised as an aunt.
When the old lady was alive, the two of them had a relatively easy life. After all, they were used to disgust Madam Shangshu, so they had enough food and clothing. But then the old lady suffered a stroke, and she had to be waited on for food, drink, and toilet, and even her speech was unclear. , the house became the world of Mrs. Shangshu.
The treatment of the mother and daughter immediately plummeted, and they were driven to a remote yard in the corner.
The servants acted according to the prevailing situation, often depriving them of their food and monthly allowances. The women and maids around them all tried their best to transfer them elsewhere, and those who were left behind only listened to the orders of Madam Shangshu and teased the mother and daughter. , don’t let them have an easy time.
For more than ten years, mother and daughter have been oppressed and can only earn money by doing some embroidery work, and no one cares about them.
It wasn’t until Lin Xiruo entered the palace as his concubine that King Rui remained infatuated with Lin Xiruo. Lin Shangshu didn’t want to lose this thigh, and then he remembered that there was a concubine in the palace. He called people over and found out When Lin Zhi grew up, she not only looked 60% similar to Lin Xuruo, but also looked like her at least 90% when dressed.
So he dressed up the original owner and asked him to come over and serve tea when Prince Rui came to the house.
Prince Rui was crazy about Lin Xi, and was stunned when he saw Lin Zhi. After Lin Zhi went down, Lin Shangshu said that this daughter was only a few months younger than his legitimate daughter, and he wanted to discuss marriage. Yes, if the prince has a suitable family, he can also help to connect him.
Prince Rui said at the time that he would go back and have a look, but within two days he sent someone to say that he could marry Lin Zhi, but only as a concubine.
The principal concubine was left to Lin Xiruo.
Lin Shangshu was attracted to him in the first place. He was willing to be a concubine, but now that he was a concubine, how could he not be willing to do so?
Not long after, the original owner was carried into the palace on a pink sedan.
It’s just that even though he became a concubine, Prince Rui didn’t touch her at all. He looked at her face every day and missed Lin Xiruo. After missing her, he insulted her for being inferior to Concubine Yi in every way, and also asked her to dress well. You must dress up according to Lin Xiruo's taste, and whatever you eat must be Lin Xiruo's preference.
The original owner endured silently.
Until the day before yesterday, Mrs. Shangshu entered the palace and talked with Prince Rui for a long time. After leaving, she asked her to prepare well for entering the palace.
She was puzzled and panicked. At night, King Rui also came and asked her to go into the palace to replace her sister. He warned her not to show any flaws in the palace. If she was discovered, she would be the first to die. It's her mother.
The original owner was shocked and reluctantly agreed.
So early this morning, King Rui asked the palace to visit his sister on his behalf, put on his clothes and entered the palace.
Ling Zhi thought of the plot. In order to make life easier for her aunt, the original owner stayed in the palace instead of Lin Xiruo. Lin Xiruo left the palace and fell in love with Prince Rui. She was very happy.
Even because of this substitute, she acted even more unscrupulously. She often quarreled with Prince Rui, and then suddenly entered the palace and asked the original owner to switch back. She did not return to the palace until Prince Rui took the initiative to apologize.
The behavior is extremely disgusting.
However, the life of the aunt who stayed in the mansion was not much better, and she was tortured even more severely by Mrs. Shangshu. Later, the original owner was killed, and she died quietly in the backyard not long after.
Looking at the first task.
The original owner was worried that his aunt would be bullied in the house, so he acted cautiously, fearing that his identity would be discovered, and carefully concealed the differences between him and Lin Xiruo, but in the end it was convenient for the male and female protagonists. So before she takes revenge on them, she had better get her aunt out of the house first. As for the emperor——
The car swayed, and the coachman pulled the reins and let out a 'whisper'.
The carriage stopped suddenly.
Ling Zhi paused. The maid Lu opposite her glanced at her and said coldly: "Concubine, the palace gate has arrived. Get off the carriage quickly." She got off the carriage.
Ling Zhi lowered her eyes and carried the hem of her skirt down, while Lu Fu stood beside the carriage, showing no intention of reaching out to help her.
She got off the carriage and looked at the palace door guarded by the guards opposite. Behind the door was a long palace road with red walls and green tiles. The ground was paved with neat tiles. Green caresses beside her urged her : "Hurry up, the palace lady is waiting." His tone was impatient.
This maid was extremely disrespectful to the original owner in the palace. No, it should be said that the entire palace knew that this concubine was just a decoration. Prince Rui didn't care at all. Everyone looked down on her and even mended clothes. It's all done by the original owner himself.
Taking a deep breath, she didn't care about it. After all, there would be plenty of time to clean up in the future.
The worst case scenario is to tell the emperor directly that he is a fake. Before Prince Rui has the capital to rebel, he will bring down both the Shangshu Mansion and Prince Rui. According to the temperament of the current emperor, even the ants will be split in half.
After checking the palace card and walking into the palace gate, in fact, there is a sedan chair that you can sit on in this section of the road. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he claimed that he needed to pay for the sedan chair, but Lu Fu only said, "The prince did not give it." , I can only go by myself.
Ling Zhi said nothing, and walked forward slowly in her embroidered shoes. When she came out of the long palace road, a road with trees on both sides appeared in front of her, and she was already dripping with sweat.
While Lu Fu was still urging her to go faster, Lin Zhi said coldly: "Shut up!"
Lu Fu's eyes were shocked: "You told me to shut up?"
Ling Zhi had already retreated to the roadside, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and knelt down. Lu Fu realized something was wrong and turned around, seeing this A group of people walked forward, led by a man wearing bright yellow clothing.
Her expression changed, and she knelt down next to Lin Zhi, clutching her clothes tightly, her entire face pale.
After all, the current emperor is so prestigious that everyone is afraid of him.
Lin Zhi glanced sideways and noticed that Lu Fu's body was tense. The corners of her lips curled up mockingly. She lowered her eyes and knelt. Soon, the group of people approached, and the emperor who walked opposite suddenly stopped.
His eyes fell on the two of them: "I just heard a dog barking, who is it... hmm?" He stared at Lin Zhi, "Who is this? Why does it look familiar to me?"
The eunuch chief looked carefully. He rolled his eyes, bent slightly and replied: "Your Majesty "These two people are dressed like they are outside the palace. They must have come to the palace to meet the empress of the harem. Maybe you saw them during the palace banquet?" I will go and ask the eunuch chief Chao Er. People came and asked them to look up.
Lv Fu’s hand on her lower abdomen was so clenched that her joints turned white, and she was extremely frightened. When the manager asked them, her lips were trembling and she couldn’t say a word. Lin Zhi lowered her head and handed over the sign, her voice gentle: "Back to my father-in-law, I am the concubine of Prince Rui. This time I came to the palace to pay homage to my sister-in-law, Concubine Yi."
The eunuch went back to report, and the emperor said 'oh': "Prince Rui's concubine... tsk ." He put his hands behind his back and walked away.
The group of people walked away, and Lu Fu knelt on the ground and gasped for air.
Ling Zhi looked at her embarrassed look and said, "Let's go, so that my sister won't have to wait too long." She turned around and walked in front.
