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

Perhaps these people were too confident in themselves, Jingzhao Yi's action went very smoothly, but it was a pity that the Minister of Rites was not caught on the spot.

Not only that, after these people rushed in, they didn't even see the Minister of Rites. And there was nothing under the rockery, only a passage, a passage leading to the outside of the city.

Lu Junze frowned after listening to the report. He was careless in this operation. He thought he was just catching human traffickers, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big event by accident.

But fortunately, he made some further arrangements and now it all depends on Tianlin.

"Your Majesty, where is my brother?" Gu Shijin asked. There were soldiers everywhere, so Gu Shijin stopped shouting.

She also suddenly realized that Gu Chengfeng, who had entered before them, had not appeared yet.

"I asked him to do something else, don't worry."

Lu Junze brought Gu Shijin out to play today. This matter could not be dealt with immediately. After explaining the things here, Lu Junze took Gu Shijin away.

As for Jiang Hua, Gu Shijin had him and his sister sent to the Gu family.

Oh, yes, his sister was finally found under the rockery.

In addition to the passage, there was also a small cellar where four little girls were imprisoned, who were used to threaten their families.

As for the other children who were threatened, Lu Junze had them sent to the Charity Bureau. There were a total of twenty-eight people scattered around.

The Gu family cannot afford to raise so many children. The orphanage is similar to the orphanage in the previous life, where these children can grow up well.

As for why Gu Shijin sent the two children to the Gu family, it was mainly because she felt that the two children were destined to be with her, and she was willing to take better care of them.

"Let's go." Lu Junze said, holding Gu Shijin's hand.

Gu Shijin: "Your Majesty, where else are we going?"

After such a delay, it is already late and the palace gates will be closed in a while.

"I'm not going back to the palace today." Lu Junze said in a low voice.

Gu Shijin's eyes lit up. Although she knew that even if she didn't return to the palace today, she would have to go back tomorrow, but she would rather go back later, as she really couldn't like the atmosphere in the palace.

But... Gu Shijin hesitated again.

The two little ones are still in the palace. After they left, they don’t know whether they have eaten well, cried, or are safe at night.

As soon as Lu Junze saw Gu Shijin's hesitation, she knew what she was thinking. She took Gu Shijin's hand and walked towards the carriage, saying, "Don't worry, the children are safe. I have arranged for someone to watch them."

Hearing what Lu Junze said, Gu Shijin put aside her worries. She couldn't stay with the child forever anyway.

After getting on the carriage, Gu Shijin remembered to ask Lu Junze where they were going.

Lu Junze: "You will know in a moment."

It was so mysterious that Gu Shijin's curiosity was aroused.

She had never been out of the capital, no matter where she went, as long as she could go out, Gu Shijin was very happy. Gu Shijin lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside, and her mood became more and more beautiful.

The carriage ride didn't take long, and we arrived at our destination in about half an hour.

The carriage stopped in front of a manor. This manor was very large. Gu Shijin couldn't see the end of it at a glance. It was more than two or three times larger than the house he had just seen.

"Aze, where is this?" Gu Shijin asked curiously.

"I'll take you to the hot spring." Lu Junze got out of the car first and extended his hand to Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin put his hand on Lu Junze's hand and was about to go down when he was picked up by Lu Junze.

"Aze!" Gu Shijin was startled and put his arms around Lu Junze's neck.

"Don't worry, Jin'er, I won't let you fall." Looking at the shy person in his arms, Lu Junze chuckled twice.

The coachman dropped the two off and then disappeared. Gu Shijin didn't see anyone else in the manor, and suddenly she and Lu Junze were the only ones left.

Lu Junze didn’t feel tired of carrying her, and he carried her for nearly a quarter of an hour before he put her in front of the door of a house.

"Your Majesty, where is this?"

Lu Junze turned Gu Shijin's head, looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Call me Aze."

Gu Shijin blinked, smiled, and said softly, "Aze."

In fact, this name is a bit childish, a bit like the name that a teenager would call out when he or she first meets his or her sweetheart, with a naive love, but not the name that they would call out after going through so many things like they did.

But when Gu Shijin shouted it, they both felt it was surprisingly pleasant to the ear. Thinking about it carefully, Lu Junze is only 25 years old this year, and Gu Shijin just turned 21 today.

If this happened in Gu Shijin's previous life, it would have happened during his youth.

Before pushing the door, Gu Shijin thought there would be a hot spring inside, but when he pushed the door open, he found a small courtyard with a beautiful view. In the courtyard there was a very well-grown loquat tree with the loquats in perfect shape, each one was round and big.

In addition, what surprised Gu Shijin was that there was a table under the loquat tree. There were many dishes on it, which looked very fresh. In the middle was a hot pot, and the soup inside was constantly boiling.

"In case it's too late to get here, let the people downstairs prepare first." Lu Junze said as he walked, holding Gu Shijin's hand.

The idea of ​​preparing hot pot came from a painting in Gu Shijin's study. The painting was painted with great care, and one could tell the painter's yearning for it. It was not a difficult task, and the scenery here was also suitable.

There is also hot pot in Daxia, but it is not called hot pot, but antique soup, and the ingredients are not as rich as those in Gu Shijin's previous life.

However, Lu Junze is the emperor, so the ingredients prepared today are still very rich.

The soup base is made from large bone broth, which is fragrant and fresh, constantly stimulating the taste buds of both people.

"Are you satisfied with the dinner?" Lu Junze asked with a smile.

Before, Lu Junze had been thinking about what to give Gu Shijin for her birthday, but Lu Junze had never thought of anything good. Fortunately, he saw his painting in Gu Shijin's study, which immediately reminded him of something.

This manor is Lu Junze's own private manor, which he bought when he was still a prince. Almost no one in the entire court knows that this manor belongs to him.

When he saw the heartwarming painting of hotpot that day, he immediately thought of this place. The scenery here is beautiful, and you can soak in the hot springs after the meal.

Gu Shijin knew that Lu Junze’s question was not just about whether he was satisfied with the hotpot, but also about the environment.

"I like it very much." Gu Shijin said.

She really likes it here, or rather, she is happy as long as she leaves the palace.

I don’t know if she will have the chance to leave the palace and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daxia in her life.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Junze asked when he saw Gu Shijin was distracted.

Gu Shijin smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daxia."

"I'll take you to see it if I have the chance."
