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

"Your Majesty, the virtuous king has already arrived in the capital." Tian Lin said.

"He's just entered the capital now?" Lu Junze looked up at Tianlin and said, "He went to the Misty Forest?"

"Yes."

"It seems that this military incident has dealt him a heavy blow." Lu Junze chuckled.

"The wise king relies on the army of the Misty Forest in the capital. Now that the army is gone, will the wise king give up?" Tian Lin asked hesitantly.

Lu Junze: “No.” Not only would he not do that, he would also speed up.

"Keep an eye on Prince Xian and Princess Mu Yun, and report their every move after they arrive in the capital in a timely manner." Lu Junze said seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, don't let the people from Concubine Chen's place retreat." Lu Junze arranged three secret guards around Gu Shijin, but he was still a little worried.

It seems that we have to find a way to temporarily stabilize the virtuous king. Jin'er's due date is approaching, and the virtuous king cannot be allowed to jump around at this time.

But many times things don't go as planned.

October 3rd was an ordinary day. Gu Shijin got up, had breakfast, and went to the study to read as usual.

During this period, Lu Junze had people send her many books, including not only literary books, but also some miscellaneous books and drama scripts.

These miscellaneous books and opera scripts were very interesting, and Gu Shijin read them with great interest every day.

"The brains of ancient people are no worse than those of modern people." Gu Shijin muttered to himself while reading a book.

Look at how this novel is written, how twists and turns there are, how unexpected the reversal is, how wonderful it is! It is even more interesting than the novels that Gu Shijin read in his previous life.

Gu Shijin couldn't help but turn the book to the front and saw the author's name.

Seventeen.

It's obviously a pen name at first glance.

It would be impossible to find this person with a fake name. It would be great if we could find him. Gu Shijin wanted him to write a few more books for her to pass the time.

"Hahahaha... so interesting." Gu Shijin suddenly couldn't help laughing. Xingzhu and Xingyue at the door looked at each other and shook their heads. Why did the Queen fall in love with reading this kind of book?

Gu Shijin stopped laughing and her face froze. She felt her stomach shrinking in pain, which was a sign of giving birth.

"Xingzhu!" Gu Shijin shouted, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Gu Shijin's due date is in these few days. Everyone working in Chenhua Palace has been on high alert these days, so as soon as Gu Shijin called out, Xingzhu and Xingyue rushed in.

"Xingyue, go ask the midwife to prepare, and ask someone to notify the emperor."

"Let Xiao Linzi go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Song." Xing Zhu said.

"Got it." Xingyue turned and ran away.

Gu Shijin's reaction at this time was just a sign. Xingzhu and several other palace maids helped Gu Shijin lie down on the bed quickly.

Giving birth to a child is not something that can be done all at once. Judging from the Empress's current condition, the baby will be born in the afternoon, and that's assuming everything goes well.

"My queen, this is the porridge cooked in the kitchen. Please drink some first so that you will have the strength to give birth later." Xingzhu said while holding a bowl of porridge.

Gu Shijin knew that Xingzhu was doing this for his own good, so even though he had no appetite, he still finished the bowl of porridge.

"The midwife is here." said the little palace maid at the door.

The two midwives this time were found by Lu Junze, and their families were also controlled by Lu Junze. They were very trustworthy people.

Lu Junze didn't want to threaten them with their families, but if Lu Junze didn't control their families, their families might be controlled by others. Lu Junze certainly wouldn't allow this to happen.

The two midwives were very experienced. They came in and took a look and knew how long it would take for the damsel in distress to give birth.

"My queen, your fetus is in a correct position. What you need to do now is to rest well and accumulate strength so that you can give birth soon." said one of the maids.

Gu Shijin nodded. This was not her first time giving birth, so she knew all this.

When Lu Junze received the news of Gu Shijin's childbirth, he was discussing matters with several ministers. After hearing the young eunuch's words, he stood up and left, not even caring about the ministers in the imperial study.

The emperor had left, and the ministers looked at each other and had no choice but to go back.

Since it is Concubine Chen who is giving birth, the Emperor will definitely not come to discuss state affairs today.

The news of Gu Shijin's childbirth was known not only to people in the palace, but also to people outside the palace.

"Are you sure?" the wise king asked the people around him.

"Confirmed." Not only did Concubine Wang send the news, but the Concubine Dowager also sent the news. It couldn't be wrong.

"Okay." A hint of joy flashed in the wise king's eyes. He was afraid that he would be discovered if he stayed in the capital for too long. Now that Concubine Chen has given birth, his plan can be implemented.

"Let the people below prepare to take action." said the wise king.

The aide was a little hesitant, "Your Highness, we have lost a lot of people, and now the Concubine Dowager is also under control in the palace. This time..." This is not a good time.

"Never mind. Lu Junze has already discovered me. If I don't take action now, I will never have another chance in the future." The wise king said.

"Besides, the general who guards the country has been sent to the border. The troops near the capital will take half a day to arrive at the fastest. As long as we are fast enough, kill Lu Junze and take control of the palace, everything will be fine." As long as Lu Junze and his children are killed, then only he can sit on the throne.

"But there are still the imperial guards and secret guards." said the aide.

"What are you afraid of? Lu Junze has secret guards, and so does I."

"And there are my people in the Imperial Guard."

"Your Highness?" The staff looked up at the virtuous king in surprise. If they had their people in the imperial guards, things would be much easier.

"I am not stupid, how could I not be prepared at all?" said the wise king.

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away."

The staff were excited. If a wise king ascended the throne, they would have been credited with following the king, and future wealth and glory would be within their grasp.

Thinking of this, the staff quickened their pace. They had to hurry and get there before the troops near the capital arrived.

After seeing his aides leave, the wise king turned around and went to look for Mu Yunerruo.

Mu Yuner has been by his side for so long, and has been borrowing the identity of the virtuous king's concubine for so long, she should pay a price. She can't always think of getting something for nothing.

"Your Highness." Mu Yunerruo's maid bowed and saluted when she saw the virtuous king coming.

"No gift."

"What brings you here, Your Majesty?" Mu Yunerruo asked bluntly.

"I want to borrow a few people from the princess." He knew that the Yunfeng Kingdom had left a lot of secret guards around Mu Yunerruo.

He is short of manpower now, so he can only use Mu Yunerruo's people.

"Your Majesty, according to the deal, I only need to help you disrupt the border and tie down the general who guards the country." Mu Yuneruo glanced at the virtuous king and said.

"Princess, you must know that you and the king are now one. If the king fails, the princess will not be much better off."
