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

Gu Shijin smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said, "Ajin and Ayuan did not leave Chenhua Palace today. The second princess only came to see them this morning."

After saying that, Gu Shijin glanced at Lu Junze. After all, the second princess was also Lu Junze's child.

"Xi'er." Lu Junze's eyes changed. The second princess was named Lu Xinxi. After the death of the imperial concubine, she was given to the Defei to raise.

Lu Junze observed for a while and found that Concubine De was really good to the Second Princess, so he registered the Second Princess under her name. But now, could this incident have been done by Concubine De?

After all, if it was really done by Concubine De, then the method was too obvious and there was no concealment at all.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Lu Junze didn't speak, Gu Shijin touched him and asked.

Lu Junze: "What did Ajin and Ayuan say?"

"A Yuan said they ate the candies given to them by the second princess, but A Yuan's candy fell to the ground, so he didn't eat it."

"Also, I and A Yuan went to look for the candy he dropped, but we couldn't find it. But now that the weather is hot, it may have melted."

Gu Shijin told Lu Junze everything she had learned in detail.

Lu Junze is the emperor, and he is the one who can really make the decisions in the harem. Moreover, he is sincere to the two children, so Gu Shijin is not worried that he will protect the person behind the scenes.

"Jin'er, do you think it was Concubine De who did it?" Lu Junze asked.

Gu Shijin shook her head and said, "I am not sure either. This crude method with many loopholes does not seem to be done by Concubine De."

"But...if this succeeds, that's another story."

"And precisely because this method is so simple, we won't be on guard against the Second Princess, and our suspicion of Concubine De won't be that deep."

"Jin'er is right." Lu Junze patted Gu Shijin's back, "Jin'er, don't worry too much. You are still pregnant."

Gu Shijin was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She was so angry just now that she forgot about her own situation.

"Your Majesty, I know."

I was too anxious and worried just now, and now that I have calmed down, I am indeed a little tired.

"Take a rest." Lu Junze held the person in his arms and coaxed him gently.

"Ah."

After a while, Gu Shijin fell asleep again. Seeing this, Lu Junze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't tell Gu Shijin about Ajin's detoxification method yet.

Even if she wanted to tell him, she had to wait until Gu Shijin's emotions were completely stable, otherwise she would get anxious again. Her body couldn't stand the repeated torture.

Lu Junze carried Gu Shijin to the bed and put her down. He stared at her for a while before getting up and leaving.

Xingzhu, Xingyue and others outside the door saw Lu Junze coming out and immediately saluted: “Your Majesty.”

"Yes." Lu Junze nodded, "Take good care of Concubine Jin, I will come back later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After leaving Chenhua Palace, Su Deyuan thought Lu Junze was going back to Chengqian Palace, but he remembered that the emperor's memorial had not been approved today.

"Don't go back to Chengqian Palace, go to the Shangshufang." Lu Junze said.

Su Deyuan paused, then shouted, "Go to the Shangshufang."

Today is not a day off, and several princes and princesses are still studying in the Shangshufang.

Now, except for the slightly younger third princess, the eldest princess, the eldest prince, the second princess and the second prince are all studying in the Shangshufang.

After listening to what Gu Shijin said just now, Lu Junze also felt very strange. Since there was no day off today, why would the second princess come to Chenhua Palace to play with the third and fourth princes so early in the morning? He wanted to go and find out what happened.

When Lu Junze arrived at the study room, the teacher was giving a class. The sound of several children reading aloud came from the room. Lu Junze heard a look of relief on his face.

His harem was indeed very restless, but Lu Junze was always pleased that his children had good personalities and did not hate each other like other royal descendants.

So when Lu Junze heard that it was the second princess who gave the candy to Ajin and Ayuan, he felt a little heartache, and wondered in his heart whether it was the right decision to let Concubine De raise the second princess? Didn't it really push the second princess into an abyss?

Lu Junze now hopes that the second princess is unaware of what she has done and is simply giving candy to her two younger brothers.

The children were attending class seriously, and Lu Junze did not disturb them. He just watched from the window and did not appear in front of them until the class was over.

"Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty." The Master was the first to see Lu Junze.

Then several princes and princesses also stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

Lu Junze smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Everyone get up."

"Thank you, Father."

"I just came to take a look today. Teacher, you can do your own thing. You don't have to follow me." Lu Junze looked at the teacher and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The teacher breathed a sigh of relief and then left.

After everyone else left, the children let go. They ran to Lu Junze and said, “Father, Father, why are you here?”

"Yes, isn't Father busy today?"

The eldest princess was the most steady among them. Although she was looking forward to talking to Lu Junze, she did not compete with her younger brothers and sisters for the opportunity. She just stood aside obediently.

Lu Junze was also very patient, squatting on the ground and answering their questions one by one. In the end, he did not ignore the eldest princess, waved her over, touched her head, and said, "Lan'er, how do you feel today?"

"Father, Lan'er understands everything." The eldest princess replied with a smile.

"Yeah." Lu Junze nodded and said affirmatively, "Lan'er has always been smart."

Several teachers had praised the eldest princess for her knowledge, and one teacher even lamented why the eldest princess was not a man. When Lu Junze found out about this, he criticized the person.

As a teacher, his every move, including his words and deeds, is a role model for the princes and princesses, and it is impossible for him to speak carelessly.

"Has anyone told Father what the Master taught today?"

"Your Majesty, I know." The second princess spoke first.

"Okay, then let Xier speak." Lu Junze said, touching the second princess's head.

"What the teacher is talking about today is..." Although the second princess spoke a little slowly, her logic was clear and she spoke very well.

Lu Junze nodded with satisfaction and said, “Xi’er is so good.”

Then Lu Junze looked at the children and said, “Father has prepared cakes and candies for you.”

"Wow, thank you, father." The children immediately became happy when they heard there were cakes and candies.

"What's wrong with Xi'er?" Seeing the second princess not moving, Lu Junze asked in confusion, "Xi'er doesn't want to eat candy and cakes?"

"I want to." The second princess nodded first, then looked conflicted, "But I've already eaten today. Mother said I can only eat one a day, otherwise my teeth will get damaged."

Hearing this, Lu Junze's expression changed and he said, "Oh? Then where did Xier eat candy today?"

The second princess tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "It was the candy that Empress Li gave to Xi'er."
