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

Lu Junze left Chenhua Palace and was still savoring the kiss as he walked on the road.

He had never kissed another woman, let alone kissed her like this, but when he saw Gu Shijin's expression just now, he couldn't help himself.

Lu Junze couldn't help but shook his head. What a little devil. But this kiss tasted really good.

If it weren't for the fact that Shi Jin was already pregnant and pregnant with two children, Lu Junze would not have left so easily.

If Gu Shijin knew what Lu Junze was thinking, she would definitely scold him as a beast. She was still pregnant with his child, and Lu Junze actually had such an idea!

This incognito tour was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision, and since it was an incognito tour there was no need to rely on these things, so even if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision it would still be in time.

Anyway, we just need to arrange guards to ensure Lu Junze's safety.

"You're in the palace these days, so pay more attention to the developments in Chenhua Palace." Lu Junze looked at Gu Chengfeng below and reminded him carefully.

Lu Junze was always worried, but he had important things to do outside the palace this time and had to go.

When Gu Chengfeng heard Lu Junze's careful instructions, his heart warmed. It seemed that Jin'er was living quite well in the palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Chengfeng replied.

After Gu Chengfeng left, Lu Junze and Tian Lin discussed some details about leaving the palace. By the time they finished the discussion, the sun had already set.

"Prince, there are too few guards." Tianlin was a little worried about Lu Junze's arrangements.

Although the wise king should not take action at this time, there are always unexpected things.

Lu Junze tapped his hand on the table, not worried at all.

What the virtuous king wants is the throne. Now he has the eldest and second princes, even if they are in poor health, they are his legitimate princes. If he has an accident, then his son will legitimately ascend the throne, and the family behind Concubine Rong is not easy to deal with.

Therefore, the virtuous king would not take action at this time, at least after the virtuous king dealt with the eldest and second princes. Thinking of this, Lu Junze's eyes flashed with anger. Although he suspected the virtuous king at the beginning, the two had lived together for a period of time after all. Lu Junze relaxed his vigilance against him, but he didn't expect that he would harm the eldest and second princes.

"By the way, how are the arrangements for the imperial concubine going?" Lu Junze asked.

Tianlin: "Your Majesty, there are experts around the imperial concubine, so the secret guards can only monitor from a distance."

They all knew that there was an expert around the imperial concubine, but they didn't deal with it because this person had never caused trouble in the harem before and had a low presence. Lu Junze didn't pursue it because of the imperial concubine's background. Of course, the most important thing was that this expert was a woman, and Lu Junze didn't want to blame a woman too much.

Lu Junze nodded and said, "Just keep an eye on her actions."

He arranged other people in the Weiyang Palace.

Although the imperial concubine has very strict control over her palace maids, Lu Junze is the emperor, and it is not a big deal for him to quietly insert someone into the Weiyang Palace. Otherwise, it would be too cowardly for him as the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

The news that the emperor was going to go on a secret tour spread throughout the harem that afternoon. Most people didn't take it seriously, thinking that the emperor would not come to their place even if he was in the palace, so they just let him go.

Only a very few people thought that this was a rare opportunity. Since the emperor was not in the harem, it would be much easier to take action against either Concubine Jin or Concubine Chun.

"After the emperor leaves tomorrow, you must be careful when you go out to do things." Gu Shijin warned Xingzhu, Xingyue and Xiao Linzi. She could stay in Chenhua Palace, but they couldn't. Those who wanted to cause trouble would always find various ways to make trouble for her, and starting with her trusted palace maids would be a good choice.

"My lady, we understand." All three of them answered solemnly.

Gu Shijin: "But if someone really picks on you, you don't have to endure it." She doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean others can bully her.

Xingzhu and the other two looked at each other and smiled quietly. This is how the young master is.

"Yes, my lord."

In fact, ever since Gu Shijin became favored, the status of the three of them in the harem has been much higher. Even the palace maids and eunuchs around those who have higher status than Gu Shijin treat them with courtesy.

In this harem, the level of one's rank is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the emperor's favor, especially for those who are of similar rank.

Take Concubine Zhou for example. Even though she was often sarcastic towards Gu Shijin, the palace maids around her would always greet Xingyue, Xingzhu and the others politely when they met them, and would never look down on them just because their masters were two or three levels higher than Gu Shijin.

……

The last person in the entire harem to know that the imperial concubine was pregnant was actually Empress Shangguan Yan.

It’s not that Fengyi Palace is not well-informed, but Yunzhi did not tell Shangguan Yan in time, and Shangguan Yan himself was under house arrest, so the news could only be passed in by people below.

"What's wrong with you today? You seem uneasy." Shangguan Yan looked at Yunzhi for the third time and finally couldn't help asking.

Shangguan Yan was painting while Yunzhi was grinding ink for her, but she was distracted several times.

Yunzhi put down what she was holding, knelt on the ground, and said, "Please forgive me, Madam."

Shangguan Yan didn't ask her to get up. She stared at her for a long time before she said calmly, "What happened that you can't tell me?! Is there anything I can't stand right now?"

Yunzhi's eyes turned red. Her queen was having a very hard time in the palace.

"My lady..."

Shangguan Yan insisted: "Go ahead."

"Yes." Yunzhi looked at Shangguan Yan and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant and has been pregnant for almost two months. The Emperor was overjoyed when he found out and bestowed the title of Chun on her."

After Yunzhi finished speaking, she saw that Shangguan Yan didn't move, and she became very worried.

"Hahahaha..." After a while, Shangguan Yan couldn't help laughing out loud, and tears flowed down her cheeks as she laughed.

"The imperial concubine is pregnant. The imperial concubine is pregnant..."

"Your Highness." Yunzhi hurriedly supported Shangguan Yan and comforted her, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine is just pregnant, and we don't know whether she can give birth to the baby."

Yunzhi was telling the truth. The imperial concubine was not as good as Concubine Jin. Even if they didn't take action, someone else would.

But Shangguan Yan was not thinking about this at all. She said, "Jin Jieyu is pregnant, Guifei is pregnant, they can get pregnant, why can't I!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Yan's face changed, and she grabbed Yunzhi's hand and said hurriedly, "Yunzhi, do you think I was not nice to the princess, so I got retribution? God didn't let me get pregnant."

"Your Majesty!" Yun Zhi held Shangguan Yan's hand and comforted her softly, "Your Majesty, it's definitely not the case. It must be because the emperor rarely comes to Fengyi Palace."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yan's expression froze for a moment, and then she said, "Yes, in such a huge harem, the emperor goes everywhere but never comes to my Fengyi Palace."

Yunzhi actually wanted to say that the emperor’s failure to come to Fengyi Palace was not only due to you, but also due to the prime minister’s reasons, but Yunzhi didn’t dare to do so.
