Chapter 381 Cannon Fodder Stand-in & Cold Tyrant 24
It was still the long red palace wall. Lin Zhi and her maid walked a stick of incense before finishing the walk. They turned to the road to the left, and suddenly the emperor's guard of honor walked in front.
The senior manager took the lead, and four or five eunuchs carried the sedan chair. There were still snowflakes in the sky.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately grabbed the eunuch who was leading the way and said that she had abdominal pain. Then she pulled the maid back and turned to another direction. Her father-in-law looked confused and had to follow in a hurry.
The senior manager saw a few figures disappearing in the blink of an eye, thinking that the rules in the palace must be tightened up. He actually dared to hide when he saw His Majesty's guard of honor. Looking back, fortunately, His Majesty probably didn't see them.
After turning two intersections and confirming that Lin Zhi would not be discovered, she said it didn't hurt anymore and asked her father-in-law to continue leading the way. The eunuch thought to himself, why is Prince Rui's concubine so weird?
It didn’t take long to arrive at Cuiwei Palace. Songzi had been waiting at the door for a long time. His eyes were full of excitement when he saw Lin Zhi shouting "Concubine", and then went to report it, but Lin Xiruo deliberately dragged her away for nearly a stick. It was fragrant, and he didn't let her in until her body was a little frozen.
Once inside, Lin Xiruo was lying on the soft couch, and Lu Qi and the others were waiting on her carefully, as if she was one of the noble four concubines again.
Lin Zhi did not wait for her to make things difficult, and said directly: "Sister, Prince Rui is waiting at the palace gate to take you back."
Lin Xiruo sat up suddenly, pleasantly surprised: "Sure enough, ?”
She nodded, and a big smile appeared on Lin Xiruo's face, thinking that Prince Rui treated her wholeheartedly and was in a very happy mood. However, she turned her eyes and saw Lin Zhi, and suddenly her face turned cold, "Ling Zhi, you are not timid, how dare you talk to her Could it be that the emperor is flirting with us and wants to take refuge with us?"
Ling Zhi looked puzzled, "Why did my sister say this? Your Majesty treats me exactly the same as you treat your sister. "
"Although we have changed our identities, Your Majesty doesn't know that in his eyes, I am always you. How Your Majesty treats me is just for my sister's sake."
System... "Lu Qi praises you, so do you. Do you plan to make Lin Xiruo think that the emperor loves her so much that he can't help himself?"
Ling Zhi's eyes flickered, Lu Qi? She wanted to fool Lin Xiruo, and Lu Qi wanted to think carefully.
Lin Xuruo sneered coldly: "Then why do you keep anyone aside every time the emperor comes over? I warn you, if you dare to be careful, I will make your mother pay the price first."
Ling Zhi Hand Suddenly, Lin Xiruo and Meng clenched their fists, threatening her with Aunt Li at every turn.
Fortunately she had already arranged it.
Innocently said: "Your Majesty forbids it. Sister, you know that Lu Rong and others are loyal to you, how dare I."
Lin Xiruo thought about it and looked at her: " In short, be honest with me and don’t think that I can’t do anything to you while you are in the palace. Your mother’s life is still in my hands.”
Lin Xi lowered his head: "Yes."
Lin Xiruo immediately walked behind the screen, and Lin Xi followed. The maids quickly changed their makeup and clothes, but Lu Rong With some careful thought, Lin Xiruo took off the new palace outfit she took from the closet and placed it on the stool.
Lin Xiruo was about to go out, but Lu Qi hurriedly said that she had forgotten something and handed the box on the table to the maid.
The group of people left without looking back, not bothering to say anything else.
Seemingly aware of Lin Zhi's gaze, Lu Qi explained: "Third Miss, those are His Majesty's rewards for the eldest lady. You didn't know when you left the palace that the eldest lady was pushed into the lake by Concubine Hui. Not only did I get a cold, but I also had bruises on my waist. His Majesty gave me ginseng, which the young lady can use.”
Lin Zhi turned to stare at her, looking trembling, then walked to the chair and sat down, looking around with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Lu Rong and others all felt their scalps numb for a while.
Songzi entered the hall at this time and called "Empress" earnestly. She hummed: "Tell me what happened in the past few days."
Did not respond to what Lu Qi just said.
Song Zi was the most active and soon told everything about what Lin Xiruo had done after entering the palace. Luo Shui also told about the emperor's reward.
Lin Zhi nodded. She didn't care about those things, not to mention what she said to Prince Rui. If Lin Xiruo left the palace with something, she still didn't know how Prince Rui would react.
She was surprised that she fell into the water. She had felt that Concubine Hui was uneasy and well-intentioned when she approached her, but she did not expect that she would take action as soon as she left the palace. The method was exactly the same as in the plot, but this time the person who suffered was changed. Lin Xiruo.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which was good news for entering the palace.
Lu Rong, Lu Qi and Lu Zhu all told what they knew one by one. Lu Qi also took the initiative to talk about what she said to Lin Xiruo in front of Lu Zhu that day. Lin Zhi chuckled: "It doesn't matter, you do the same. To help me hide it from my sister.”
Lu Qi looked grateful: “It’s fine if I don’t mind my slave making my own decisions.”
Lin Zhi smiled and asked them all to go down to rest, leaving the pine nuts behind. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them started talking, Lu Rong left and came back: "Mother, Lu Qi betrayed you, she can't be trusted!"
Her eyes were serious and her tone was determined, thinking that if Lin Zhi didn't believe it, she would analyze it one by one.
Ling Zhi nodded: "I know, so I have to ask you and Lu Zhen to keep a close eye on her. It's okay if she doesn't do anything, but if she makes any move, be sure to stop her."
Lu Rong is incomparable I was surprised. I didn’t expect that she had just come back and I could see it at a glance. I was secretly frightened. I felt even more that the third lady was unfathomable and that all of them had underestimated her.
I respectfully agree, salute and go out.
Lin Zhi asked Songzi because she wanted to know some more detailed information. After all, he was in charge of the entire Cuiwei Palace now, and Lu Rong and others did not know some information at all.
In this room, night falls, the senior manager enters the royal study from the outside, and sees the palace maid and eunuch kneeling on the ground, so quiet that one can hear the needle drop, while Xiao Yuan holds a long sword in one hand and faces everyone with his back, deep in his heart. Panting, the shelf with books next to him was chopped crookedly, and a porcelain bottle was broken at his feet.
Waving for the palace people to go down, and then walked over carefully: "Your Majesty, it's dark, do you want to have a meal?"
While sorting things on the floor, he talked about the affairs of the court and the harem. Things were all insignificant, and then he mentioned that today the concubine from Prince Rui's Mansion came into the palace to visit Empress Yi, probably because she knew that the empress had fallen into the water and was worried that she came into the palace just now.
Xiao Yuan did not reply. He turned around and held up his sword: "Go to Cuiwei Palace!"
The high manager was just stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly went to make arrangements. Not long after, the bright yellow sedan arrived at Cuiwei Palace. Xiao Yuan came down with his sword and walked straight in. Everyone did not receive the news in advance and they all hurriedly saluted. However, when they looked up, they saw His Majesty holding the Holding the sword, his eyes widened instantly.
Ling Zhi was taking a bath. The conditions outside the palace were not as good as inside the palace. She had not washed herself properly in a few days. At the same time, she asked Lu Rong and others to replace everything Lin Xiruo had used.
She closed her eyes and suddenly heard a noise outside, so she asked the waiter in green clothes to look at it. Then she heard footsteps entering the room, walking around the room and coming towards her. She asked: "What happened?"
No one answered, she frowned and turned around, her eyes suddenly widened: "Your Majesty?"
