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

The reasons given by the three people seem to be appropriate, but when you think about it carefully, they are all unreasonable.

The last step of today's inspection was not supposed to be done by this little eunuch, but the person who was supposed to do the inspection had diarrhea, so he was asked to do it.

It wasn't Guo'er's job to add the chopped green onions, but the imperial kitchen was too busy today, so the imperial chef just gave the order casually. He even forgot who he had given the order to.

Shunpin's maid felt that the imperial kitchen was being perfunctory with her, so she opened it and took a look, and it seemed that it was not completely impossible.

The first two people had direct and indirect witnesses, but Shunpin's maid acted on her own initiative and was the first to report the young eunuch.

"Send someone to search their room." Lu Junze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor gave the order and the guards acted quickly and efficiently. Soon two guards came back holding things.

"Your Majesty, these are the things we found at Guo'er and Liuhua's place."

Liuhua is Shunpin's maid.

Lu Junze looked at Doctor Yang and motioned for him to take a look.

When Guo'er heard this, a trace of panic flashed across her lowered eyes. She had clearly already dealt with the things.

"Your Majesty," Doctor Yang said to Lu Junze after the examination, "This one is Hedinghong, and this one is Zuilong, the poison that Concubine Jin was poisoned with."

The one in Guoer's room is Hedinghong, and the one in Liuhua's room is Zuilong.

Guo'er and Liuhua collapsed to the ground at the same time. Although Guo'er was not the one who poisoned Jinpin, hiding poison in the palace was still a capital crime.

Lu Junze looked at the two of them, his eyes showing disgust and anger without hiding: "Take Liuhua to the Ministry of Punishment, and make sure to find out who is behind this."

Lu Junze didn't believe that a little palace maid would dare to poison the concubine and get a poison like Zuilong.

"As for Guo'er, I'll give her Crane's Peak Red."

The person behind Guo'er, Lu Junze, has been found out. There is no point in this person being alive.

"Your Majesty," Liuhua panicked when she heard the name of the Ministry of Punishment. She crawled forward two steps and said, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Shun who told me to do this."

Lu Junze didn't believe it directly, and waved his hand: "Take him away for questioning."

Shangguan Yan watched for such a long time without having the chance to say anything, and she also realized that the emperor didn't want her to get involved in this matter, so if that was the case, she would not be disliked.

Shangguan Yan stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

"You all go down too." After Shangguan Yan left, Lu Junze asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Doctor Yang.

"Doctor Yang, does Concubine Jin's poison require the pistil of the purple spirit millet?" Lu Junze asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then is the blood of someone who has taken the stamens of the purple millet okay?" Lu Junze remembered that after he took the stamens of the purple millet, Song Jibai said that his blood would also be a holy object for detoxification in the future.

Doctor Yang understood what the emperor meant. He nodded and said, "Of course you can."

"Then let's get started." Lu Junze handed his hand to Doctor Yang.

Doctor Yang was shocked, looked up at Lu Junze, and said in fear: "Your Majesty...you can't do that."

Imperial Physician Yang only now understood that the Emperor had taken the pistil of the purple millet.

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, your dragon body must not be harmed." Doctor Yang said while kneeling on the ground.

Lu Junze frowned and whispered, “Speak softly!”

If Song Jibai was there, he wouldn't have to waste so much time talking. He would just go ahead and make a small cut, making it look like someone was going to die.

Lu Junze stopped looking at Doctor Yang and cut a small cut on his finger with the scissors on the table. The blood flowed into the teacup on the table.

Doctor Yang smelled blood, looked up, and saw that the teacup was almost half full. He hurried forward and grabbed the emperor's hand to stop the bleeding.

At this time, Doctor Yang had already forgotten about the emperor and his subjects.

The wound is not big, and the bleeding will not stop.

Lu Junze looked up at the cup of blood and said, "Is that enough?"

Doctor Yang nodded with a distressed look on his face: "That's enough, Your Majesty."

"Then go and make the medicine."

After a pause, Lu Junze warned in a serious tone: "Remember, don't let any third person know what happened today, otherwise..."

Doctor Yang understood: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I know nothing."

"Go."

Lu Junze walked to the inner room, sat next to Gu Shijin and touched her cheek: "Jin'er."

When Lu Junze saw Gu Shijin lying lifeless on the bed for the first time today, his heart ached badly for a moment. At that moment, he realized how important Gu Shijin was to him.

He would never allow Gu Shijin to leave him.

Gu Shijin fell into a coma, but she was conscious and knew everything Lu Junze did.

Including the fact that Lu Junze just bled for her, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. As an emperor, it was not easy to do this.

In this feudal era, the emperor's dragon body could not be damaged.

However, Gu Shijin still warned himself in his heart not to sink.

Zuilong’s poison could not be cured so quickly. Even with Lu Junze’s blood as a medicine guide, Gu Shijin did not wake up until five days later.

A lot of things happened in the harem during these five days.

Under the interrogation of the Ministry of Punishment, Liuhua never changed her statement and said that it was Shunpin who instructed her.

Shunpin was demoted to a commoner by the emperor and was sent to the cold palace. But when she was sent to the cold palace, Shunpin suddenly said that it was Li Xiuyuan who gave her the poison, otherwise how could she have such a thing.

Of course Li Xiuyuan refused to admit it, and Lu Junze had no evidence, so in the end Li Xiuyuan was demoted to Li Guipin.

On the surface, this matter seemed to be over, but Lu Junze had secretly cleaned out a lot of people, including the maid from the Lily Palace who had contacted Guo'er before.

"Has the person behind Concubine Ming not taken any action yet?" Lu Junze asked.

Tianlin: "No, Ming Jieyu has not seen anyone during this period of time."

"Got it. Keep monitoring."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shunpin was sent to the cold palace, and Liuhua was beaten to death with a stick. A smile appeared on his face before he died.

She had known for a long time that someone was using her. Someone had passed a note to her room before, saying that if Concubine Jin was poisoned one day, she would have to admit that it was her who did it, otherwise her brother would die without a burial place.

She also said that her brother was already a scholar. Was she willing to ruin all that because of herself?

But Liuhua didn’t understand, since Shunpin was not the one who ordered this matter, why should she admit it?

It's very simple, because Shunpin was also caught with evidence. And if the emperor found out, the evidence would exterminate all nine generations of her family.

"Young master, are you awake?" Xingyue burst into tears of joy when she saw Gu Shijin open his eyes. The young master finally woke up.

"Water..." Gu Shijin murmured.

In the past few days, Gu Shijin has hardly eaten anything except taking medicine, because she simply can't eat. Now she has no strength all over her body and even finds it difficult to speak.

Xingyue quickly poured a glass of water and slowly fed it to Gu Shijin.

After drinking the water, Gu Shijin felt better.

"My lady, the imperial physician said that you can only drink some porridge now." Xingzhu came in with a bowl of porridge.

Gu Shijin nodded.

"Jin'er..." Lu Junze rushed over after hearing the news. He walked to the bed, sat down and held Gu Shijin's hand.
