The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Gu Shijin's eyes changed, but his voice remained the same, "My sister's promotion is because of her intelligence. What does it have to do with me?"

Yang Guiren was stunned for a moment, then said in great panic: "I was wrong, please forgive me."

Gu Shijin looked at Concubine Yang seriously and said, "It's hot, sister, please go back early."

After saying that, he took Xingzhu and left.

If she accepted Concubine Yang's thanks today, wouldn't it indirectly mean that it was her who instructed Concubine Yang to testify that day?

"My lady, this Concubine Yang..." Xingzhu also thought of this, "Does she really not understand or is she pretending not to understand?"

Gu Shijin smiled sarcastically and said, "Whether she really doesn't understand or is pretending not to understand, stay away from her in the future."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Shijin was more inclined to believe that she was pretending not to understand. She didn't think Yang Guiren was a fool.

Concubine Yang's eyes flickered as she watched Gu Shijin leave, then she turned around and left quickly.

The arrival of new people in the palace has no effect on Gu Shijin. He should remain the same as before.

Maybe because she was pregnant, everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, so no one came to Chenhua Palace to look for her. Gu Shijin was happy to have some peace and quiet, listening to Xiao Linzi telling her gossip every day.

"This noble lady Lin is too anxious." Gu Shijin sighed sincerely after hearing what Xiao Linzi said.

Xiao Linzi said that Concubine Lin had been going to the Queen's Fengyi Palace every day these days. Although her father worked under Concubine Xian's father, she had never even been to Concubine Xian's palace.

"Not only that, young lady, this noble lady Lin also sent gifts to every palace."

"Ah? Chenhua Palace was also given as a gift?" Gu Shijin asked.

Xingzhu: "My lady, no."

Gu Shijin smiled and said, "Then this Concubine Lin is not as stupid as we imagined."

She is pregnant now, and if something unexpected happens to her with the things Concubine Lin sent her, Concubine Lin will be in big trouble.

Maybe Concubine Lin would not do it herself, but as long as she sent gifts to Chenhua Palace, she would inevitably be used as a gun by others.

"Lady Lin is a bit flamboyant."

Among the ten people who entered the palace, Concubine Lin was the most active in recent days.

"My lady, there is another interesting thing." Xiao Linzi lowered his voice, "Princess Wen has never gone to Shoukang Palace to visit the Concubine Dowager."

Gu Shijin raised his head, looked at Xiao Linzi in surprise, and said, "Really?"

"It's true."

"I heard that Concubine Wen fell ill the second day after she entered the palace."

Gu Shijin was quite surprised, "Is he really sick?"

Xingyue also spoke at this time, "My lady, it seems that you are really sick. I saw the imperial physician go to Yonghe Palace every day in the past two days."

"Ignore them, just focus on Yonghe Palace."

"Yes, my lord."

……

Qingyun Pavilion, a side hall of Yonghe Palace, is where Concubine Wen lived.

"Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician." Concubine Wen lay on the bed with a pale face and thanked the Imperial Physician.

"My Lord, you are too polite. I will take my leave first."

The imperial physician sighed inwardly. Concubine Wen was clearly suffering from a minor cold at the beginning, so how come her condition was getting worse and worse?

After the imperial physician left, Concubine Wen lifted the quilt and got out of bed with the help of her personal maid He Ye.

"My lady, do you still want to drink the medicine?" He Ye asked in a low voice.

Everyone thought that the young lady was sick, but He Ye knew the specific reason. It was just that the young lady did it on purpose.

He Ye has been with Wenpin since she was a child, and knows everything about Wenpin. In the past, she was the one who did many things that Liu Wenxin was not convenient to do herself.

Moreover, He Ye knows some martial arts, which is the fundamental reason why Liu Wenxin always keeps her by his side.

Liu Wenxin coughed, walked to the dressing table and sat down, looking at her pale face and smiled with satisfaction.

It just looks a bit creepy.

"I don't want to take it anymore." After saying that, Liu Wenxin opened the drawer, poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle inside and threw it into his mouth.

"Please help me dress up. I will go to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to my aunt later."

He Ye was a little confused, "My lady, why are you going to Shoukang Palace again?"

Liu Wenxin did not explain, but simply said: "The Concubine Dowager is my aunt, how can I not go to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects."

"Yes, my lady." Hearing that something was wrong with Liu Wenxin's tone, He Ye didn't dare to say anything more.

Liu Wenxin went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects, and the Concubine Dowager was naturally very happy.

The concubine held Liu Wenxin's hand, looking worried, "You haven't recovered yet, and your face is so pale, why are you here?"

Liu Wenxin said weakly: "Aunt, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to come to see you since I entered the palace."

"What are you saying sorry for, kid? If you are sick, you should rest well."

"I'll call the imperial physician to see you later."

Liu Wenxin took the concubine's hand and said coquettishly: "Aunt, it's not necessary. The imperial physician has already come to see you today."

"Okay, but you still need to pay more attention to rest."

……

In Chengqian Palace, as soon as the ministers left, Su Deyuan came in to report that people from Jingshifang had arrived.

Zheng Dahai brought the young eunuch and knelt on the ground holding the green cards of the concubines in the harem, "Your Majesty, please turn over the cards."

Lu Junze looked at the many green cards, picked up Gu Shijin's and rubbed it, and a smile appeared on his lips. But in the end, Lu Junze did not turn over Gu Shijin's card, but turned over the card of Chen Guiren, who had just entered the palace.

"Just her."

Su Deyuan had some impression of Concubine Chen, who was the first woman chosen by the emperor himself during the selection process.

This was the first time that this batch of concubines had served the emperor in the imperial bedchamber, and it was Concubine Chen. Some people were surprised while others had expected it.

"That's normal. After all, they were selected by the emperor himself to enter the palace." Shangguan Yan didn't even blink when he heard the news. These people had to serve the emperor in bed anyway. It was only a matter of time.

"Go check whether this Concubine Chen is clean. If she is clean, go and try it quietly."

Yunzhi: "Yes, Madam."

Shangguan Yan hoped that these concubines could perform better and become pregnant with a dragon fetus as soon as possible so that she could adopt the child as her own.

"My lady, Concubine Jin's position does not allow her to raise the child by herself. Why not..." Yunhua suddenly said.

Shangguan Yan looked up at Yunhua and was a little surprised at Yunhua's wild idea.

"Do you think the emperor won't let Concubine Jin raise the child herself?"

After Yunhua finished speaking, she realized that she had made a fool of herself. Given how concerned the Emperor was about Concubine Jin, how could he possibly give Concubine Jin's child to someone else to raise?

"Your Majesty, what if Concubine Jin has an accident during childbirth?" Yun Hua lowered her voice, "Anything can happen during childbirth."

Moreover, tampering with the baby during childbirth is the most convenient and least likely to be discovered.

The Emperor cannot enter during childbirth, and Concubine Jin certainly cannot take care of it herself, so she can just do some tricks to get things done.

Shangguan Yan also knew it, but...

"Has Chenhua Palace found a midwife to deliver the baby?"

"Your Majesty, the Chenhua Palace has not been found. I'm afraid the emperor is handling this matter."

"Go and ask around, and by the way, see who these midwives have in their families."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Be careful, don't let anyone catch you."
