The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!
Chapter 282 Injured
Gu Shijin was soaking in the hot spring when she heard a commotion outside. She frowned and felt worried again.
"Mingyue, what happened outside?" Gu Shijin asked. Mingyue was the maid that Lu Junze temporarily arranged for her.
"Madam, it's okay." Mingyue answered quickly when she heard Gu Shijin's question, her voice very steady.
"Then why is it so noisy outside?" Gu Shijin was still a little confused.
"Madam, it's time for the guard handover, so it's a little noisy. Did I disturb you? I'll go and deal with it now." Mingyue said.
"No need." Since it was a normal handover in the mansion, she would not interfere.
It was already three quarters past three when Gu Shijin came out of the hot spring, but Lu Junze had not returned yet.
If it were usual, Gu Shijin would definitely not think too much about it. Lu Junze is the emperor and has a lot of things to do. He must have his reasons for not coming back. However, because of the nightmare at noon, Gu Shijin's worries have not subsided.
After writing in the study for a while but still unable to calm down, Gu Shijin walked out of the room but did not see the maid Mingyue.
"Mingyue? Mingyue?" Gu Shijin called out twice but no one answered her.
"Where are you going?" Gu Shijin asked with a frown. Since no one was around, Gu Shijin started walking around by himself.
She also walked around in the morning, so she had a rough idea of what room each location was. As she walked around, she unknowingly arrived near Lu Junze's house.
Thinking of the dream he had at noon, Gu Shijin wanted to go to Lu Junze's room to take a look.
Logically speaking, the security around Lu Junze's house should be very strict, but for some reason, Gu Shijin didn't see many guards as he walked along.
Gu Shijin felt that something was wrong and it became more and more serious. When she turned around, she met a maid holding a basin of blood.
"Is the master injured?" Gu Shijin asked, grabbing the maid's hand.
The maid was also shocked. She didn't expect to meet Gu Shijin. She knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, this is not the master's blood."
Unfortunately, Gu Shijin no longer trusted these people. She left the maid and ran towards Lu Junze's house.
Seeing this, the maid hurriedly put down the blood in her hands and chased after Gu Shijin.
Everyone in this house knows that the lady is pregnant. If anything happens to her, they will all die.
"Ma'am, please slow down."
Fortunately, this place was very close to Lu Junze's house, and Gu Shijin arrived in just a few steps.
As more and more blood was being carried out in basins, Gu Shijin's body swayed and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, the maid who followed behind her quickly supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Madam! Are you okay?" The maid helped Gu Shijin sit down on the stool next to her.
"It's okay, help me in." Gu Shijin said.
"Jin'er, why are you here?" As soon as Gu Shijin came over, Lu Junze, who was in the room, heard the noise and hurried out.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Gu Shijin saw Lu Junze suddenly stand up and asked while grabbing Lu Junze's hand.
Lu Junze was grabbed by Gu Shijin's hand, frowned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I made Jin'er worried."
Lu Junze's face looked normal, and he did not look like anything was wrong. However, Gu Shijin was still a little worried, so he walked around Lu Junze and only let go after making sure that there was nothing wrong.
Lu Junze had always felt that there was a gap between him and Gu Shijin, but now that he saw that Gu Shijin cared about him, the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Your Majesty, since you are fine, then what about these..." Gu Shijin asked, pointing at the basins of blood.
Lu Junze waved at the maid next to Gu Shijin, and then said: "These are from Tianlin, the secret guard beside me."
Lu Junze was not in a good mood either. That arrow was very deadly, fortunately Tianlin blocked it in the end, otherwise Lu Junze would have died today.
However, Tianlin was also seriously injured as a result.
Hearing that it was Tianlin, Gu Shijin's relieved heart began to worry again. Because Lu Junze took special care of Chenhua Palace, Gu Shijin had dealt with Tianlin several times. Although the relationship was not deep, he could be considered a half friend.
Gu Shijin: "So how is he?"
"The heart meridian is injured. Song Jibai is already treating him." Lu Junze said.
Gu Shijin's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if this arrow really hit Lu Junze.
"Jin'er, everything is fine here, you can go back first." Lu Junze said, looking at Gu Shijin's pale face.
Gu Shijin thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
It was indeed inappropriate for her, a concubine in the harem, to guard an injured secret guard here.
"Mingyue, help Madam back and take good care of her." Lu Junze said.
Only then did Gu Shijin realize that Mingyue, who had just disappeared, had appeared behind her again at some point.
"Yes, sir." Mingyue said.
Gu Shijin had been frightened a series of times today and was not feeling well. Fortunately, she was in good health during this pregnancy, and the imperial physician who took her pulse said that the fetus was relatively stable.
Lu Junze brought more than a dozen imperial physicians on this southern tour. Song Jibai was treating Tianlin's injuries, and it was the first time that Gu Shijin had seen the imperial physician who came to take Gu Shijin's pulse.
"How is the emperor's injury?" Lu Junze told her when he just left that this stabbing was a good opportunity. People outside didn't know that it was Tianlin who was seriously injured, not Lu Junze, so Lu Junze was ready to pretend.
In this case, Gu Shijin would definitely pretend, pretending that the emperor was injured and he was heartbroken.
"Don't worry, your Majesty. The emperor's injuries have stabilized. He will be fine as long as he wakes up." The imperial physicians that Lu Junze brought with him on this southern tour were all his confidants. They probably knew Lu Junze's plan. When Gu Shijin asked this, the imperial physicians answered according to her words.
"Okay, you go down."
"I don't know who arranged this assassination." Gu Shijin muttered to himself in the room alone.
Lu Junze's decision to stay in Yunyang City was a temporary one. Even if the person who did it knew, it would take time to gather so many skilled assassins. But now...
This means that the mastermind behind this group of people is more likely to be someone on the ship. And this person has great power in Daxia.
With this calculation, few people can meet this requirement.
After thinking for a while, Gu Shijin stopped thinking about it. She believed that Lu Junze had his own plan in mind, so she didn't bother here. She just hoped that Lu Junze could catch the person behind the scenes as soon as possible to avoid another accident.
Someone brought dinner to Gu Shijin, saying that the front yard was too busy and chaotic, so the master asked his wife to eat first.
Gu Shijin did not refuse. Her current body was not hers alone, so she could not take risks. But after what happened today, Gu Shijin's appetite was still not very good, so she stopped eating after a few bites.
