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

Gu Shijin had no idea what was happening outside. She stayed in the dark room peacefully for three days. During these three days, someone delivered meals to her every day, which made her feel at ease.

Since someone brought in the meals, it meant that nothing was wrong on the surface.

In fact, there were a lot of dry food and fruits in the room, but Lu Junze took into consideration that Gu Shijin was pregnant, so as long as nothing serious happened, he would have someone send her fresh food.

Lu Junze told her to stay in the dark room for three days and he would come to pick her up after three days. However, as the third day was about to pass, no one came to pick up Gu Shijin, and Gu Shijin's heart slowly sank.

Moreover, it was almost the evening hour, and no one had come to the dark room to deliver food. Gu Shijin became more and more uneasy.

"Please don't let anything happen." Gu Shijin murmured to himself. Whether from a realistic or emotional perspective, Gu Shijin hoped that Lu Junze could get through this difficult time safely.

I don’t know who is behind this incident, causing such a big commotion. If Lu Junze is really dead, the world will be in chaos again, and the civilians will be the ones who will suffer then.

No one came to deliver meals at night. Even though Gu Shijin was extremely worried, she still forced herself to eat some dry food. Not only was she thinking about herself, she was also thinking about the baby in her belly.

After finishing the meal, Gu Shijin couldn't calm down. He couldn't even read or write. He wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed. He could only stare at the ceiling with his eyes open.

The thought of going out to find Lu Junze even flashed through Gu Shijin's mind, but he dismissed the idea as soon as it appeared.

She doesn't know what the situation is outside right now. If there is chaos, she will probably become a sitting duck if she goes out now.

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. I believe Lu Junze can do it." Gu Shijin sighed.

Life in ancient times was really not easy, especially life in the royal family was even more difficult.

Gu Shijin fell asleep while waiting. She had been very sleepy recently, and although she was worried about the outside world, she couldn't stop the physical fatigue.

……

At this moment, outside the dark room, there was indeed blood and gore, and the flashing of swords and sabers.

This was the second wave of people who had come to assassinate Lu Junze in the past three days. The first wave came on the first day, but there were very few people who came. It seemed more like they came to test whether Lu Junze was really seriously injured, and to find out how many guards there were in this house.

Lu Junze took advantage of the situation and did not show up during the whole process, nor did he let many guards appear, so that they would appear to be struggling to fight off those people.

Sure enough, the person behind the scenes was both stupid and anxious. As a result of this plan, the number of people coming to assassinate today was more than three times that of last time, and each of them was much more skilled than the last time.

"What happened?" Lu Junze asked the deputy commander of the secret guards.

Although Tianlin has woken up and can get out of bed, it is not possible to let him kill people while he is still alive and kicking, so the deputy commander of the secret guards is in charge of the implementation of this plan.

"Your Majesty, everything has been resolved." The deputy commander of the secret guards knelt down and clasped his fists.

"Good!" Lu Junze was overjoyed, "Did you catch anyone alive?"

Lu Junze already knew who was behind the scenes, but if he could catch him alive and let him personally identify the person behind the scenes, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty, we captured three people alive, and one of them has committed suicide by taking poison."

"So the other two are still alive?" Lu Junze said with a bit of surprise. He didn't really expect to catch anyone alive.

Those who come to assassinate are usually death warriors, and once they are caught, there is only one way out, which is death.

"They wanted to commit suicide, but they were a step too slow and were stopped by our subordinates," said the deputy commander of the secret guards.

Only then did Lu Junze take a look at the deputy commander of the secret guards. Tian Lin had always been with him, and he didn't realize that the deputy commander of the secret guards was also a talent.

Lu Junze didn’t even think about it. He was the emperor, and everyone around him was a talented person. He just didn’t pay attention to them.

It’s not that Lu Junze doesn’t care, but he has too many things to do every day. If he has to remember every single one of them, then twelve more hours a day would not be enough.

Lu Junze: “Bring the person here.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the deputy commander of the secret guards brought the two men over, Lu Junze felt that there was no need to interrogate them, because one of them was a familiar face.

"Prime Minister Shangguan's guards?" Lu Junze looked at one of them in surprise.

It's no wonder he was surprised. Prime Minister Shangguan was a very reliable person in the past, otherwise the Shangguan family would not have been jumping around in the court for so long and Lu Junze had not been dealt with. But what is the situation now? Prime Minister Shangguan actually sent his own guards to kill him.

In fact, Lu Junze misunderstood Prime Minister Shangguan. He would definitely not do such a stupid thing. He just asked this person to keep an eye on the situation here and report in time if he succeeded. However, Lu Junze's people acted too fast and this person was sneaky, so he couldn't escape and was caught.

Anyway, I'm just very unlucky, and it feels like God is on Lu Junze's side.

The guard saw Lu Junze standing in front of him in good health, and knew that the prime minister had been deceived by Lu Junze. He realized that the situation was hopeless, and told Lu Junze without any struggle that he could help him identify Prime Minister Shangguan.

"Okay, take them away and watch out, don't let anyone die." Lu Junze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." said the deputy commander of the secret guards.

"What's going on on the ship?" Lu Junze continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, everything is going well on the ship, and Deputy Commander Gu has the situation under control." said the deputy commander of the secret guards.

Lu Junze: "Very good, let someone clean up this yard, and then prepare to return to the ship."

The whole process of getting off the boat in Yunyang City was Lu Junze's plan. He had always known that Prime Minister Shangguan and King Xian were in collusion, but Prime Minister Shangguan was old, so he became more cautious, or even more timid.

When in the capital, Lu Junze gave the other party many chances, but the other party did not take any action this time. He could only force the other party during the southern tour.

Sure enough, an ambitious person will never give up no matter how timid he is, and he will take action right away.

Lu Junze calculated everything very well, the only thing he didn't expect was that Tianlin would be seriously injured in order to save him.

However, no plan is perfect, and the current situation is already very perfect.

As long as he gets rid of Prime Minister Shangguan's family, there will be no more wise kings in the entire court.

In fact, Lu Junze's court was already very clean. Prime Minister Shangguan was a veteran minister of three dynasties, and his daughter was the queen. If there were no solid evidence, it would be difficult for Lu Junze to deal with.

After everything was arranged, Lu Junze walked towards the study alone.

He said he would pick Jin'er up within three days, but now the time limit is almost up.
