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

Gu Shijin's due date was in February, but because she was pregnant with twins, the possibility of premature birth was very high. Therefore, since late January, Chenhua Palace has entered a very cautious atmosphere, and every palace servant did things very carefully, for fear of disturbing Gu Shijin.

"Mom, Xingzhu, you don't have to do this." Gu Shijin said helplessly.

Although she was about to give birth, Gu Shijin felt very good and her body did not feel too much burden. She felt that she would be able to give birth to the two children smoothly.

Mother Gu patted Gu Shijin's face and said patiently, "I know you're fine, but it's always better to be careful. You're carrying twins, which is much more dangerous than the average pregnancy. I don't want you to have an accident."

Now that things have come to this, what can Gu Shijin do? He can only let his mother do whatever she wants.

In the afternoon, Lu Junze came to see Gu Shijin, and Gu Shijin couldn't help but complain to him a few words.

Lu Junze smiled, hugged Gu Shijin and touched her belly, and said: "Mrs. Gu is right, it is better to be safe than sorry. Mrs. Gu is considerate, and I feel relieved to let her take care of you."

During this period, whenever Lu Junze entered the harem, he would go to Chenhua Palace, and there had been a lot of gossip among the concubines in the harem.

Of course, Gu Shijin didn't hear it in person, but Xingzhu told her about it.

Xingzhu was reluctant to tell her at first, thinking that these bad things would upset her, but Gu Shijin was so bored every day that he pestered Xingzhu to tell him.

Xingzhu had no choice but to tell them. Fortunately, Gu Shijin was a broad-minded person and these things did not affect his mood.

"The emperor wants to come to Chenhua Palace himself, can I still push him out?" Gu Shijin said at the time.

Gu Shijin doesn’t care whether Lu Junze comes to Chenhua Palace or not, but as long as Lu Junze comes, Gu Shijin will never push him out.

"I have to go to Weiyang Palace in a while, so I won't be with you tonight." Lu Junze whispered to Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin was stunned, the light in her eyes flickered, then she raised her head and said with a smile: "I understand, Your Majesty, please go ahead."

Lu Junze saw Gu Shijin's mood, kissed her forehead, and said, "I have something to do in Weiyang Palace, and I will return to Chengqian Palace in the evening."

If he went to Weiyang Palace and then came to Chenhua Palace, the imperial concubine would probably not be able to help but cause trouble for Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin didn't expect him to explain that Lu Junze needed a reason to go somewhere, so she said, "I know."

After Lu Junze left, Gu Shijin's face returned to its usual calm expression, without any sign of sadness at all.

In front of the emperor, you have to learn to act, even if you are not sad, otherwise the emperor will just think that you don’t care about him.

Men are all the same. Naturally, they hope that their women's hearts and eyes are full of them.

"My lady, why did the emperor leave?" Xingyue came in and asked.

Normally, when the emperor came at this time, he would have dinner with Gu Shijin and then stay overnight in Chenhua Palace.

Gu Shijin glanced at Xingyue and said, "Your Majesty has something else to do."

I don’t know what’s wrong with Xingyue recently. Something seems a little off.

Maybe because of the pregnancy, Gu Shijin himself has become more sensitive. Xingyue was fine before, with a lively personality and efficient work, but recently she is always distracted and speaks less, and sometimes it always sounds like she is not thinking when she says something.

Gu Shijin looked at Xingyue for a long time, but Xingyue didn't notice. After she went out, Gu Shijin called Xingzhu in.

"What's going on with Xingyue recently?" Gu Shijin asked.

Xingyue has been with him for five years, so Gu Shijin is not worried that she will betray him.

Xingzhu saw that Shi Jin had already discovered it, so she sighed and said, "My young master has discovered it."

"Something happened in Xingyue's family. Her mother fell ill, and her brother pretended to be someone else on the street. He was involved in a lawsuit and was arrested by the county government."

Gu Shijin frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"

Xingzhu: "The young lady is about to give birth, and Xingyue is afraid of making her worry."

Gu Shijin: “…”

She knew that Xingyue was doing this for her own good, but Xingyue's family affairs must not be delayed.

"Grind the ink for me." Gu Shijin said.

Gu Shijin wrote a letter and asked Xiao Linzi to give it to her elder brother.

I don't know what Lu Junze was thinking. He transferred Gu Chengfeng into the palace and he has been serving in front of the emperor. Although Gu Shijin still doesn't have many opportunities to meet and talk with him, the way he spreads messages is much faster.

After all, the affairs of the Xingyue family happened outside the palace, and Gu Shijin couldn't help much in the harem, so he could only ask his eldest brother and father to go and take a look.

"Do you know who Brother Xingyue bumped into?" Gu Shijin asked.

"He seems to be the son of a fifth-rank civil servant." Xingzhu remembered that Xingyue said this.

"That's okay, my father and eldest brother will definitely be able to handle it."

A fifth-rank civil official is not a high-ranking official in the capital, but for ordinary people he is a very important official. However, for the current Gu family, it is not worth mentioning.

In ancient times, family honor was tied together. When one prospers, all prosper. When one suffers, all suffer. Gu Shijin was favored by the emperor in the harem, and the status of the Gu family in the previous dynasty was also improved.

"Thank you, young master." At this time, Xingyue walked in from outside the door with red eyes, knelt in front of Gu Shijin and kowtowed twice.

Gu Shijin couldn't bend down because of her big belly, so she could only let her finish the kowtow. "Hurry up, you've been by my side for so many years, you have something to tell me."

Gu Shijin patted Xingyue's hand.

"My lord, I understand."

Xingyue hesitated for a moment, looked at Gu Shijin and said, "My lady, I think someone deliberately framed me for what happened in my family."

"Hmm?" Gu Shijin looked at Xingyue.

"Just after something happened in my family, someone came to me and said that if I did them a small favor, they would help my mother treat her illness and rescue my brother from prison." Xingyue said.

But Xingyue did not agree. Although she was not a remarkable person, the young master was so good to her, how could she possibly betray him.

Gu Shijin: "Do you know what the person who is looking for you looks like?"

Gu Shijin was not surprised at all to know this situation. She was now strictly guarded by Lu Junze. If she wanted to take action, she could only start with the people around her.

Xingzhu has been in the palace for a long time and has nothing to use against her, but Xingyue is different, she has concerns.

Xingyue shook her head. "I don't know. The other party left the note in my room. We have never met."

"Where's the note?" Gu Shijin asked again, "Do you still have it?"

Xingyue nodded, took out a note from her pouch and handed it to Gu Shijin, saying, "The other party asked me to burn it after reading it, but I still kept it secretly."

Gu Shijin took it and looked at it. The paper and the words were both standard and there was nothing different about them.

"Don't worry." Gu Shijin comforted, "I'll ask my brother to take care of this matter today."

After all, it was I who was implicated in the Xingyue family's misfortune.
