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

After lunch, Gu's mother took the initiative to leave the palace as she could not bring trouble to her daughter.

"Mother, please be careful outside the palace." Gu Shijin said, grabbing his mother's hand.

Now that the Gu family is thriving, it's inevitable that some people will be jealous of them.

"Don't worry, Jin'er. Your elder brother has picked two palace maids for me who are good at martial arts." Mother Gu patted Gu Shijin's hand.

Gu Shijin nodded. His elder brother was indeed much more steady in his work now.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I see that Madam is in good health." Xingzhu supported Gu Shijin and comforted her.

Gu Shijin nodded. The old couple were indeed in good health, but as their children, they were still worried.

Especially now that she is in the palace, she has very little time to see her parents, and most of the time she can only listen to her eldest brother's stories.

……

Gu Shijin started to be busy from New Year's Eve and only gradually became free on the eighth day of the New Year. It was really not easy.

"Xingyue, rub here for me." Gu Shijin was lying on the bed and letting Xingyue give her a massage. She pointed to the lower back and said.

After working non-stop these past few days, she didn't feel comfortable at all.

"Oh, your majesty, your shoulder is bruised." Xingyue suddenly said with a frown.

"Ah?" Gu Shijin was very surprised. She didn't feel any pain in her shoulder, and she hadn't been bumped or bruised in the past few days. How could her shoulder be bruised?

"Empress, it's really turned blue." Xingzhu also said. It should have turned blue today. She didn't even notice it when she was changing the Empress' clothes yesterday.

Gu Shijin: "Bring the mirror over here so I can see."

Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was indeed a large bruise on the mirror, as if it had been hit or bruised.

"Your Majesty, let me ask the imperial physician to come and take a look." Xing Zhu said.

The injury doesn't look serious, but I'm afraid it's hurt inside.

Gu Shijin moved his shoulders and felt no pain.

"Okay, go ahead and call him." Gu Shijin felt that everything was fine, but if the imperial physician was not called over to take a look, no one would feel at ease, especially since Lu Junze would definitely call the imperial physician after knowing about it.

Chenhua Palace called the imperial physician, and Lu Junze got the news immediately.

"What's wrong with the Imperial Concubine?" Lu Junze put down his brush and asked.

Su Deyuan was stunned by the question. How could he know?

Lu Junze also knew that he shouldn't ask Su Deyuan, so he stood up and said, "Go to Chenhua Palace."

The final result was that Lu Junze arrived at Chenhua Palace earlier than the imperial physician.

"Why is the emperor here?" Gu Shijin was still lying on the bed. When he saw Lu Junze coming, he got up.

"Don't get up." Lu Junze held Gu Shijin down, "Are you feeling unwell? Why did you ask for a doctor?"

"I'm fine." Gu Shijin pointed to his shoulder. "It's just that there's a big bruise on my shoulder. It looks a bit scary. They insisted on asking the imperial physician to take a look. I think it's fine. I guess I just bumped into it accidentally somewhere."

Lu Junze asked everyone else to go down, and looked at Gu Shijin's shoulder. His brows furrowed as he looked at him, "How did you do this?"

"I don't know." Gu Shijin sighed.

Before Lu Junze could say anything else, Song Jibai arrived.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Get up and take a look at her. Why is there such a big bruise on her shoulder?" Lu Junze said.

Gu Shijin was a concubine, and her shoulders were more sensitive. Lu Junze held Gu Shijin and let Song Jibai take a look before putting the clothes on her.

Song Jibai rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "My queen, let me take your pulse."

He is not a god, so he can tell what happened at a glance.

"it is good."

Lu Junze put a handkerchief on Gu Shijin's wrist. Song Jibai looked serious when he took his pulse, which made Lu Junze very anxious.

"How about it?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Song Jibai withdrew his hand and said, "The queen is fine."

"So what's with this bruise?"

"It must be that the queen accidentally touched it."

Lu Junze and Song Jibai both looked at Gu Shijin. Gu Shijin shook her head. She really had no impression of it. She had been busy these days and would not care as long as it was not serious. Her skin was relatively tender and would get bruised with a small bump.

"I will prescribe some external medicine for your majesty. You will be well in two or three days."

Gu Shijin and Lu Junze both believed in Song Jibai's medical skills. Since he said there was no problem, they didn't take it seriously and just applied the medicine on time every day.

"Empress, why does it feel like this medicine has no effect?" Xing Zhu asked while applying medicine to Gu Shijin.

"This isn't a magic pill, how can it work so quickly?"

"My lady, it's done. I'll help you up."

"Yeah." Gu Shijin propped herself up, but she didn't know if it was because she had been lying down for too long, but she suddenly felt dizzy.

"Empress, what's wrong?" Xing Zhu asked hurriedly.

"It's okay. I just felt a little dizzy after lying down for too long." Gu Shijin said nonchalantly.

Xing Zhu nodded. This was indeed the case when lying down for a long time. Seeing that the Empress looked normal, she didn't think about it anymore.

The queen has always been in good health.

However, he did not expect that after three days of applying the medicine, the bruise on his shoulder had not healed yet, and bruises began to appear on other parts of Gu Shijin's body.

"My queen, why do you have so many bruises on your body?" Xingyue was shocked.

There were bruises of varying sizes on his shoulders, hands, and legs.

Gu Shijin had actually discovered it a long time ago. After all, this was her own body. How could she not notice the bruises every day?

It’s just that Lu Junze has been too busy these days and has not been staying in Chenhua Palace, otherwise he would have discovered it long ago.

"Your Majesty, I will go and call the imperial physician." Xingyue said. One or two bruises might be caused by a collision, but having so many on the body was obviously not right.

"Go ahead." Gu Shijin also wanted to know if he was the same as he guessed.

But was there a cure for this disease in ancient times? She had seen it in a colleague in her previous life, and it was cured.

This time Lu Junze came with the imperial physician. Not only Song Jibai was there, but all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau were there.

"Come and see the Imperial Concubine." Lu Junze sat next to Gu Shijin, his face full of worry. It was also the first time he had seen such a disease.

Six or seven imperial doctors took turns feeling Gu Shijin's pulse, and then a few of them walked to the side and started discussing incoherently.

"Doctor Song, do you know what disease the Imperial Concubine is suffering from?"

Song Jibai shook his head. He had been to so many places, but he had never seen such a situation before. It was neither caused by external trauma nor poisoning.

"I think the Empress's condition is caused by insufficient blood and qi." Insufficient blood and qi can be diagnosed by taking the pulse. They all found that the Empress had some insufficient blood and qi, but they did not dare to say that this was the cause of the illness because it had never happened before.

"Doctor Song, what do you think?"

"That makes sense. In that case, we should first prescribe medicine for the lack of blood and energy, and then use acupuncture to treat it."

"it is good."

Since everyone had no objection, Song Jibai went to tell Lu Junze. Lu Junze was angry but there was nothing he could do.
