The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!
Chapter 336: Disband the harem?
"Your Majesty, I found this in Concubine Fang's palace." The commander of the imperial guards said, holding a packet of medicine in both hands.
There was also an imperial physician in the room to keep an eye on the condition of the two princes.
"Go and see if the two princes were poisoned." Lu Junze said while suppressing his great anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
This imperial physician is the best at detoxification in the Imperial Hospital except for Song Jibai, so Lu Junze kept him here.
The imperial physician took the medicine, smelled it, and looked at Lu Junze with a serious face. He said, "Your Majesty, this is the poison 'Juesan'. Fortunately, the amount of poison the two princes were poisoned with was small. If the whole packet of poison was taken, I'm afraid..." No matter how good the medical skills are, they can't save the situation.
“How dare you.” Lu Junze was really angry. A mere noble could poison the prince. Are all the guards in this palace useless?
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
Gu Shijin did not persuade the emperor. She felt that she had been too low-key recently. Even these cats and dogs had come out to act wild. The problem was that she had let them succeed.
If Concubine Fang was really determined to poison the two princes, then she might not be able to see Ajin and Ayuan anymore. When Gu Shijin thought of this, his whole body trembled.
"Bring Concubine Fang here." Lu Junze said.
The commander of the imperial guards said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Fang is already waiting outside." He was not such an ignorant person. Since he had found the thing, he would of course bring the person over.
"Let her in."
When Concubine Fang came in, she had an innocent look on her face. Either she really didn't do it, or she really didn't think it was a big deal.
"Your Majesty, your concubine pays homage to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Concubine Fang came in and knelt down.
Lu Junze looked at Concubine Fang with stern eyes and said in a deep voice: "I ask you, was it you who poisoned the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince?"
Concubine Fang was stunned, then looked at Lu Junze and Gu Shijin, and said foolishly: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who poisoned you."
At this moment, the entire main hall fell silent. There was nothing they could do. This was the first time everyone had met such a person. Concubine Fang seemed to be completely stupid and had no idea what she had done.
"Bang." Lu Junze grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it over, hitting Concubine Fang on the forehead. The broken porcelain pieces cut her skin and blood slid down her cheeks. She looked so miserable and pitiful.
But no one at the scene sympathized with her.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Fang looked up at Lu Junze in shock, as if she was very puzzled by his behavior. She asked, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"
"What did you do wrong?" Lu Junze straightened up and gritted his teeth, "You poisoned the prince and you ask me what you did wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I poisoned the two princes just because I wanted to see you. The poison I used is very little and will not harm the health of the two princes." Concubine Fang said with a look of grievance.
Today, Gu Shijin witnessed how extreme a person can be. Although she had vaguely felt that Concubine Fang's thought process was different from that of normal people, she didn't expect that this was not just different, but that she was a complete lunatic.
No, how on earth was such a person chosen into the palace?
After listening to Concubine Fang's words, Lu Junze didn't want to pay any more attention to her. It was obvious that this person didn't understand what people said. No matter how much she said, it would be in vain. Even so, why waste her breath.
Since she has admitted that she was the one who poisoned him, then we just need to follow the rules. Poisoning the prince is a serious crime.
"Noble Lady Fang poisoned the royal heir, was demoted to a commoner, banished to the cold palace, and ordered to commit suicide." Lu Junze said succinctly upon hearing this.
"The Fang family failed to educate their daughter properly, so they were exiled to the frontier."
If one person made a mistake, the whole family would suffer. This was the ancient times.
It was not until this moment that Concubine Fang suddenly woke up. She looked at Lu Junze and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do this. I just want to see you. I am not wrong."
"Your Majesty, why can't you understand my heart? I just want to see you."
"Take her away." Lu Junze waved his hand with an annoyed look on his face. He now wanted to punish those who were in charge of the selection. How did these people do their work? Why did they let a sick person into the palace?
As soon as Concubine Fang left, the room suddenly became quiet. Xingzhu waved to the other palace servants, and they all quietly retreated.
"Your Majesty is so lucky." Gu Shijin said slowly, "To be liked by so many women, and each of them is so infatuated with him."
At this moment, Gu Shijin was resentful of Lu Junze. If it weren't for him, the two little guys wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Less than five years old, the two little ones have already experienced this kind of poisoning several times. Although they survived in the end, the psychological damage is inevitable, especially now that the two little ones have grown up.
She didn't know how to explain it to them when they woke up.
Did your father's concubine poison you because she wanted to see your father?
This reason is not only stupid but also hurtful to the relationship between father and son. If possible, Gu Shijin hopes that they can have a complete childhood and enjoy their father's love.
"It's my fault." Lu Junze took her into his arms. Gu Shijin was angry about this, but Lu Junze didn't blame her. Instead, she felt a little secretly happy in her heart, which showed that Gu Shijin still had him in her heart.
"It's my fault that I didn't manage the concubines in the harem well, causing our Jin'er and the two kids to suffer." Lu Junze said, patting Gu Shijin on the back.
To be honest, Lu Junze has never relaxed his control over the harem and has arranged people. However, Concubine Fang's status is too low and Lu Junze did not take this person seriously at all. Who would have known that such an inconspicuous person would dare to poison the two cubs, and the reason for the poisoning was so ridiculous.
Lu Junze suddenly felt his clothes a little wet, he looked down and saw that it was Gu Shijin who was crying.
This scared Lu Junze. Gu Shijin was a very strong person. He had known Gu Shijin for such a long time, but he had rarely seen her cry.
"Jin'er, don't cry. I was wrong. Please stop crying, okay?" Lu Junze hurriedly wiped Gu Shijin's tears.
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you and your son." Lu Junze felt a surge of regret in his heart, and at the same time, some unrealistic thoughts from before popped up again.
"Jin'er, I'm going to disband the harem and let all the concubines leave the palace, okay?" Lu Junze suddenly said.
Lu Junze had this idea before, but doing so would not only be detrimental to the stability of the previous dynasty, but also Gu Shijin would be burdened with a great infamy. Lu Junze did not want this to happen, so he shelved the idea.
But when this happened today, this idea came to my mind again.
Gu Shijin was shocked to hear Lu Junze's words. She knew that Lu Junze's feelings for her had grown deeper over the years, but she never expected Lu Junze to say such a thing.
