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

"Hmm?" Lu Junze was stunned at first, then as if he had thought of something, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He grabbed Song Jibai's hand and asked, "Jin'er is pregnant?"

Apart from this incident, Lu Junze really didn't know why Song Jibai had to congratulate him.

"Yes, it's been less than a month. Only because of my good medical skills can I detect it." Song Jibai said shamelessly.

He was a little surprised when he felt the pregnancy pulse just now. He couldn't help but sigh that Concubine Jin was really blessed. She became pregnant with her second child not long after her two princes turned one year old.

No concubine in the palace has ever been as lucky as her. Before meeting Gu Shijin, Lu Junze treated all concubines equally, and there were probably very few who got pregnant, but he didn't expect Concubine Jin to be so lucky.

"That's great!" The smile on Lu Junze's face grew deeper and deeper. Although he often talked to Gu Shijin about having a daughter, he actually knew that getting pregnant was not an easy thing, especially in the harem. It was difficult to get pregnant, and it was even more difficult to give birth to a child safely.

"Does anyone else know about this?" After being happy for a while, Lu Junze calmed down.

"I definitely won't tell anyone else." Song Jibai shook his head, "Even Concubine Jin herself doesn't know."

There were so many people around at that time, and Song Jibai wasn't mentally ill, so how could he have said that?

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work again." Lu Junze patted Song Jibai's shoulder.

Lu Junze, the imperial physician in the palace, only trusts Song Jibai. Others may be tempted or threatened by various interests, but only Song Jibai will always stand on his side.

Song Jibai smiled and said, "Why bother talking about this between you and me?"

"Don't worry, I will make sure that Concubine Jin gives birth to this child safely."

"But..." Song Jibai paused for a moment and continued, "Madam Jinfei's body is a little weak. It's not like when she was pregnant with her first child. It should be because she has no appetite. She needs to pay more attention to it."

Song Jibai's meaning is very clear, but since Song Jibai dares to make a guarantee, it means that the problem is not very big.

"I'll pay attention."

"By the way, when are you going to start with the Xian Wang?" Song Jibai poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Junze. "The location of the army has been found out, and the number of the Xian Wang's army has been reduced a lot under your operation. Now is a good time."

Previously, Song Jibai went to the Misty Forest to inquire about the location of the Wise King's army. Although the poison in the Misty Forest made many people afraid, this did not include Song Jibai. Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission and successfully found the location of the Wise King's army. He also prepared an antidote that could remove the poison in the Misty Forest.

With the help of Song Jibai's antidote, Lu Junze's secret guards entered the misty forest several times, causing considerable losses to King Xian's army.

"Don't panic." Lu Junze shook his head. "Although the strength of the virtuous king is much weaker now, if he counterattacks with all his strength, it will not be easy for us. The people of the capital will suffer."

Song Jibai knew that what Lu Junze said made sense, but, "If the virtuous king really returns to his fiefdom, it will be difficult to control him again."

The fief of the virtuous king was not extremely rich, but it was not poor either. It was just ordinary, but it was far from the capital.

If the virtuous king is really allowed to go back, the emperor is far away and it would be hard for them to guard against what the virtuous king might do. So no matter how they think about it, it is safer to keep him under their noses, although it would be annoying to have him jumping around under their noses every day.

Lu Junze chuckled and said, "Tell me, if the virtuous king really wants to return to his fiefdom, what will he do with the troops in Misty Forest?"

Song Jibai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course they will stay in the Misty Forest. Although some of the troops have been lost, there are still many left. If he really plans to attack the capital in the future, these troops will definitely be his most powerful assistants."

"That's right." Lu Junze took a sip of tea and nodded, "Once he leaves, these troops can be dealt with quietly."

"Will the previous actions alert the enemy?" After discovering the specific location of the wise king's army, Lu Junze had already taken action several times.

"No, they were very cautious in the previous times, mostly using the poison or ferocious beasts in the Misty Forest. The Sage King wouldn't notice it." Lu Junze affirmed, "And if the Sage King really noticed something, then there couldn't be no movement in the Misty Forest now."

Lu Junze knew the Xian Wang very well. Although he usually looked like a gentleman who was courteous to others, the Xian Wang was actually very conceited and always had mysterious confidence in his arrangements. Unless the evidence was slapped in his face, he would not think he was wrong.

"But what if the wise king takes this army back to his fiefdom?" Song Jibai asked.

"That will be easier to handle." Lu Junze said with a smile, "This group of troops has quite a lot of people. If they leave together, I can just send troops to attack. Of course, I don't think the wise king is stupid enough to do that."

Song Jibai nodded. Indeed, the wise king still had some brains.

"If he lets these troops disperse and return to their fiefdoms, we just need to defeat them one by one."

The virtuous king's fiefdom is not close to the capital. There are several military bases along the way when returning from the capital. As long as the virtuous king dares, Lu Junze will let him be a commander without troops.

"Not bad, not bad." Song Jibai nodded.

"What if the wise king regrets his decision and refuses to return to his fiefdom?"

Lu Junze sneered and said, "Since the virtuous king has submitted a petition, it is not up to him to decide whether to return to his fiefdom. Besides, he has not been back to his fiefdom for a long time, so it is not certain whether it is still his fiefdom."

"What do you mean?" Song Jibai was shocked. Could something have happened in the virtuous king's fiefdom?

"Do you know who owns the fiefdom next to the virtuous king's fiefdom?" Lu Junze asked.

Song Jibai shook his head. How could he understand all this in one day? He only knew about the fiefdom of the virtuous king when he had no choice.

"He's my good fourth brother." Lu Junze said.

"King Xin?"

"Exactly."

Prince Xin is Lu Junze's fourth brother. As soon as Lu Junze ascended the throne, he asked for permission to go to his fiefdom and became a local tyrant in his fiefdom. After so many years, Prince Xin has already taken tight control of his fiefdom and is still expanding his power in Prince Xian's fiefdom.

Hearing what Lu Junze said, Song Jibai looked at him strangely and said, "Aren't you worried about Prince Xin?"

"Prince Xin is a smart man. He has written all these things clearly in his memorials to me every year, and he has also handed over two-thirds of the profits from his fiefdom to me every year."

"Two-thirds?" Song Jibai was really shocked. "He handed over so much to the court. What about the development of his own fiefdom?"

"From what you said, he has grown a lot."

"My fourth brother is a rare business genius. He owns many shops in the capital."

But Prince Xin never did anything beyond the rules, so Lu Junze just let it go.
