Chapter 360: The Cold Tyrant & the Scheming Concubine 4
When Lin Xiruo saw Lin Zhi coming out, hatred flashed in her eyes, but she walked over with a smile, walked around her, and asked the palace maid, "Do we look alike?"

The two of them are about the same height, but Lin Xiruo is much fuller than her and her face is more rosy. The original owner is thinner. After all, she didn't eat well since she was a child, so it's impossible for her to grow up well.

But with the clothes on, they look pretty much the same.

The palace maid nodded naturally: "Yes, Madam, you can rest assured now."

Lin Xieruo smiled and lay on Lin Zhi's shoulder. In the mirror, there were two very similar faces. However, with Lin Zhi beside her, her dignified appearance seemed out of place. She immediately let go of Lin Zhi and said, "Sister, thank you for your hard work in playing the piano for His Majesty tonight."

Just now, Lin Zhi did hear the eunuch say that the emperor would come to listen to the piano tonight.

According to the plan of Prince Rui and the Shangshu's wife, when the original owner entered the palace, as long as there was no mistake in her makeup and the emperor could see it, Lin Xieruo would put on the clothes of a concubine and leave the palace on the same day.

"Come here and change her clothes for me." Lin Xiruo said.

He went in with the concubine's clothes that Linzhi had taken off, holding them in both hands with a smile on his face. His expression was surprisingly cherishing. She must have been so happy thinking that these were worn by Prince Rui's concubine.

In the inner room, Lin Xieruo kept asking the palace maids to put on more makeup to reveal her true face. She said, "When I meet King Rui later, I will naturally let him see the best of me." She also nervously asked whether Lu Fu was appropriate.

Lu Fu said quickly, "That's great. You look like a completely different person now. No one will recognize you as Concubine Yi. The prince has been waiting outside the palace for a long time. He will be extremely happy to see you."

Only then was Lin Xiruo satisfied.

Lin Zhi remembered that when the original owner came out of the palace, she came by herself, and Prince Rui did not follow her at all. But now Lu Fu said that someone had been waiting for Lin Xiruo outside the palace for a long time. She sneered, thinking that she was unwilling to ride in the same carriage with the original owner and deliberately separated.

Fortunately, in this mission, there is only revenge on this scumbag.

Thinking about the plot in which Lin Xieruo and King Rui were in love with each other after leaving the palace, and she would run back to the palace when she was angry, exchange identities with the original owner, and play a game of chase with King Rui, I thought, this time, now that you have left the palace, it will not be so easy to come back.

Lin Xiruo, wearing the clothes of a concubine in the palace, came out with her head held high and chest puffed out. She said in front of her, "Sister, is this outfit appropriate for me?"

Lin Zhi lowered her eyes and said, "Sister's clothes are more suitable than mine."

Lin Xieruo smiled, very satisfied with her advice, and didn't even want to pretend at this moment: "Sister, you must hide your identity well, don't let His Majesty find out, as long as you behave yourself, your aunt will be fine, if you dare to do anything bad." There was a ruthless look in her eyes, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

Lin Zhi knelt down and saluted Lin Xiruo: "Don't worry, sister. Leave the palace to me. Just rest assured."

Lin Xieruo snorted and looked at the huge palace. Although it was magnificent, she did not have any attachment to it. Disgust flashed in her eyes. She looked at Lin Zhi with gloating and walked towards the door: "Lüfu, let's go quickly. If we are any later, the palace gates will be locked!" Her steps were impatient.

Lu Fu quickly chased after them and could still hear their joyful voices from afar, but she shut up when she reached the yard to avoid being heard by others.

The four palace maids were afraid that their identities would be exposed, so they did not go to deliver the gift.

The room became quiet. Lin Zhi looked at them, sat down at the table, and smiled at them, "Please help me introduce the palace to the affairs of the palace, so that I won't make mistakes in the future." Lu Ru glanced at the other three people and said to her, "What do you want to know?"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Let's start by introducing your names, whether my sister has made enemies in the palace, and your Majesty's habits." After a pause, "Your Majesty is coming tonight, so I have to prepare something."

Lu Rong rolled her eyes and said, "What are you preparing for? The zither, of course. Your Majesty is an excellent zither player. Do you have what it takes? Don't make a mistake on the first day."

Lu Ru called out Lu Rong, and then began to introduce her to Lin Zhi: "Her name is Lu Rong, and she is in charge of the Empress's clothes..." Lin Zhi nodded as she listened. The four palace maids, Lu Ru, Lu Rong, Lu Qi, and Lu Zhu, had no enemies.

The emperor's harem is actually very well-behaved. After all, if they are too high-profile, they might be seen by the emperor and tortured.

But they did not live in peace with each other. Lin Xieruo, as the daughter of the Shangshu, was named one of the four concubines as soon as she entered the palace. One of the other three concubines was the daughter of the prime minister. This person couldn't stand Lin Xieruo and often made trouble for her. In the plot, the original owner also confronted her, but the original owner endured it all and felt extremely aggrieved.

Naturally, she couldn't bear it this time.

As for the position of the Four Concubines, Lin Zhi understood why the Lin family had not thought of letting a concubine's daughter enter the palace instead, even though the emperor was sinister and his means of ascending to the throne were not glorious.

But he is the emperor after all. If nothing goes wrong, he will be on the throne for at least a few decades. The next emperor will be chosen from his daughter. If Minister Lin has any ambition, he will definitely let his daughter enter the palace. If she can give birth to a prince, he may be able to inherit the throne in the future. Wouldn't the Lin family become royal relatives?
Moreover, they have always doted on Lin Xiruo, so naturally they want to give her the best of everything. Maybe she can even become the most noble woman in the world.

How could they be willing to let the original owner, a concubine's daughter, enter the palace? What if she gained power and turned against the Lin family?

It’s a pity that the emperor didn’t play by the rules at all and shattered all their fantasies.

The Shangshu's wife felt sorry for her daughter, so she thought of the concubine's daughter. After all, she was not her own daughter, so it didn't matter if she was tortured to death by the emperor.

Lin Zhi asked the system in her heart: "Is it okay for me to get close to this crazy emperor?" No matter what, in the plot, the emperor's madness is real.

The next moment, a hidden plot about Xiao Yuan appeared in my mind.

He was born in the cold palace. His mother was just a maid who swept the floor. She was favored by the emperor, but was not given a rank. In addition, because she was beautiful, the concubines framed her and sent her to the cold palace.

She had been tortured to the point of insanity before she gave birth to him. If it weren't for an old nanny taking care of her, Xiao Yuan would have starved to death.

When he was four years old, his mother went crazy and almost threw him into the lake to drown him. He floated to the shore by himself, and his mother suddenly came to her senses, said she didn't want to implicate him anymore, and then jumped into the lake and committed suicide. Xiao Yuan always remembered this incident.

Later, when the old nanny was seriously ill, he overcame numerous obstacles and ran to the old emperor, begging him to save the nanny.

The old emperor, however, was dismissive and said that the old lady was dead. Instead, he was surprised that Xiao Huan had a son. He took the man away, and when Xiao Huan returned, the old lady had died.

Xiao Yuan grew up in an abnormal environment. Later, the old emperor threw him into the military camp. As a result, when he grew up, he was always troubled by his childhood nightmares and the mountains of corpses and blood on the battlefield, which caused him to suffer from headaches.
