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

Gu Shijin was surprised by Concubine Song's calm attitude in the end. When she first arrived at Chenhua Palace, Concubine Song was very determined and did not admit that she had poisoned the third prince. But why did she change so much when she saw that her personal maid was not dead?

too weird.

Also, the way Lu Junze handled this matter was very strange. He knew there were doubts, but he still dealt with Concubine Song quickly.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Junze asked when he saw Gu Shijin was lost in his thoughts.

"Nothing." Gu Shijin shook her head. She didn't know what Lu Junze was thinking, but since Lu Junze had already dealt with it, she wouldn't raise the issue at this time.

"Your Majesty, the second prince is in poor health. It may not be convenient to send him to Xiefang Palace." Gu Shijin said.

The people under him are all bullies who only pick on the weak and fear the strong. Now Concubine Song has been banished to the cold palace, and the Second Prince is in such a poor condition. If the Emperor does not pay more attention to the Second Prince, he will probably be bullied by the palace people.

This is a very normal thing, but Gu Shijin doesn’t know if Lu Junze would think of it as the emperor.

Although Concubine Song poisoned the third prince, the second prince was innocent and Gu Shijin would not harm a child.

Lu Junze patted Gu Shijin on the back, a smile appeared on his face, and said: “I know, I just haven’t decided who to give the second prince to raise.”

After all, he is a prince. Giving him to someone else to raise means giving him hope and ambition, so the person raising him must have a very good character. To be honest, apart from Gu Shijin, Lu Junze has not seen such a person in the harem.

But Gu Shijin now has the third and fourth princes to take care of, and he probably doesn't have the energy to take care of one more.

Moreover, the Second Prince has begun to remember things now. If we change his mother now, his life will definitely be different from when he was a baby.

"Does Jin'er have anyone to recommend?" Lu Junze asked.

Gu Shijin shook his head. Among the people in the harem who could raise the prince, none of them was suitable.

"Your Majesty, please place the Second Prince in Xiefang Palace for the time being and find a few reliable and attentive maids." Gu Shijin instructed.

"I'm afraid the Second Prince will be looking for his mother these days. Your Majesty, please go to Xiefang Palace more often to see the Second Prince."

"I know."

If the incident had not happened suddenly, Lu Junze would not have placed the Second Prince in Xiefang Palace.

Gu Shijin hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say anything.

It was because of herself that Concubine Song was banished to the cold palace. Bringing the Second Prince to Chenhua Palace might cause unnecessary trouble.

The second prince is still too young and his mind is immature. He can easily lose track of right and wrong if provoked by others.

It's not that Gu Shijin is overthinking, it's an objective fact.

She is not alone now and must consider her children.

Gu Shijin and Lu Junze both knew that there were other people behind this matter, but at this moment they tacitly did not say anything.

No matter if it is the Toffee or anyone else, they certainly cannot handle it now as they have no evidence.

Even if Concubine Song is banished to the cold palace today, there will definitely be no harmony in the morning court tomorrow.

Because Concubine Song is the daughter of General Song, and General Song is a very important military officer in the court. More importantly, this military officer's heart is not on Lu Junze's side.

However, what happened today was admitted by Concubine Song herself, so even if something happens tomorrow, it will not be difficult to resolve.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Xingzhu came in and said.

That day, Lu Junze and Gu Shijin were both dealing with the poisoning of the Third Prince and had not been able to eat properly. They felt hungry when they heard Xingzhu say that it was late for dinner.

"Your Majesty, please go have dinner first." Gu Shijin said.

"it is good."

Because he was busy all day, today's dinner was naturally not specially arranged by Gu Shijin, but prepared by the imperial kitchen. However, the imperial kitchen has roughly figured out Gu Shijin's taste, and the food prepared is what Gu Shijin liked to eat in the past.

There is one more thing in tonight's meal that has never been there before: beggar's chicken in lotus leaves.

"Is this beggar's chicken?" Gu Shijin asked.

"Beggar's chicken?" Lu Junze repeated Gu Shijin's words with some confusion after hearing them.

"Your Majesty, this is the recipe you gave to the imperial kitchen before. The imperial kitchen has been studying it, and this is the first one made." Xingzhu explained from the side.

Of course, this is the first and best one I have ever made. I have made many failed ones before.

Gu Shijin immediately became interested when she heard it. Her taste buds secreted saliva in large quantities, and she couldn't help swallowing her Adam's apple.

Before, she wrote down the recipe and handed it to the imperial kitchen with the attitude of giving it a try. Later, there was no news for several days, and she thought the imperial kitchen had failed.

Beggar's chicken is not difficult to cook, but it is difficult to make it taste good. As for the beggar's chicken on the table, Gu Shijin could already smell the fragrance of lotus leaves before he even started eating it.

"Your Majesty, this is Beggar's Chicken." Gu Shijin pointed to the chicken on the table, and then enthusiastically told Lu Junze how to cook Beggar's Chicken.

Lu Junze couldn't cook, and he didn't need to learn how to make beggar's chicken, but at this moment, seeing Gu Shijin's eyes shining and enthusiastically telling him how to make beggar's chicken, he found it very interesting.

"Finally, cover the chicken with mud and throw it into the fire pit to burn."

"This method is very interesting." Lu Junze praised after listening.

Gu Shijin smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks so, too."

There was a whole chicken on the table, and it was supposed to be torn into pieces by hand to enjoy the flavor. But now that he was eating at the same table with the emperor, it would be very impolite to tear it into pieces by hand, so Gu Shijin could only use chopsticks.

However, the chicken was not very obedient in Gu Shijin's hands. Gu Shijin tried to use chopsticks for a long time but failed to get much meat off.

Lu Junze couldn't help laughing as he watched Gu Shijin fighting with a chicken.

Gu Shijin took back the chopsticks, looked at Lu Junze and said, "Your Majesty, you are laughing at me."

“No.” Lu Junze denied and picked up the chopsticks, “I’ll help you.”

The chicken that had been so disobedient in Gu Shijin's hands suddenly became obedient in Lu Junze's hands. Lu Junze just took the chopsticks and gently broke off a chicken leg.

Lu Junze put the chicken leg into Gu Shijin's bowl and said, "Eat it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Shijin took a bite and couldn't help but whispered, "It would be nice if I could eat it with my hands."

As a martial artist, Lu Junze still heard what Gu Shijin said even though it was spoken in a very low voice.

Lu Junze waved his hand and asked the palace maid to leave. Then he looked at Gu Shijin and said, "Eat whatever you like."

Gu Shijin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lu Junze and confirmed, "Really? Your Majesty, can I tear it and eat it with my hands?"

"Eat."

In that case, Gu Shijin didn't hesitate. Although she used her hands, her movements were not rough at all.

After finishing the chicken leg in the bowl, Gu Shijin tore off another chicken leg and handed it to Lu Junze, "Your Majesty, do you want to try this too?"

As an emperor, such a fact is really too extraordinary, but when he is alone with Gu Shijin, Lu Junze is willing to temporarily throw off the constraints of his identity as emperor.
