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

When Gu Shijin heard the news, he smiled and didn't express much opinion.

Lu Junze has always cared about his children. As the king of a country, Lu Junze has done a good job both as a husband and as a father.

Lu Junze is the emperor, and the well-being of the people and the peace of the country are his top priorities.

Moreover, the Queen really cared too little about the eldest princess. The fact that the eldest princess had inexplicably disappeared from Fengyi Palace was already a big problem.

"Xingzhu, how old is the eldest prince this year?" Gu Shijin asked.

Xing Zhu: "My lady, the eldest prince is one year younger than the eldest princess. He is six years old this year."

The eldest prince was the first child born after the emperor ascended the throne, and he was also a prince. At that time, both the concubines in the harem and the ministers of the previous dynasty attached great importance to this. However, no one expected that the eldest prince would have an ear disease. Some were happy while others were worried.

If the eldest prince had not suffered any physical accident, the harem would not have been so peaceful. It was precisely because several of the princes had physical problems that the harem was able to maintain superficial peace.

However, this peace was gradually broken as Gu Shijin became favored and Concubine Liu became pregnant.

And now that Lu Junze asked the eldest prince and the eldest princess to study in the Shangshufang, it might arouse some people's suspicion again.

After all, if the emperor cannot give birth to a prince safely, the next crown prince will most likely have to be chosen between the eldest prince and the second prince.

The second prince is weak and it is hard to say whether he can survive and grow up.

It seems that Gu Shijin's previous thoughts were wrong.

Gu Shijin couldn't help but shake her head. The situation in the palace was ever-changing, and her thoughts were just her thoughts.

You still have to have your own children. To survive in the harem, having children will provide a certain degree of security. The emperor's favor is ultimately just a passing cloud that may drift away at any time.

Now it seems that Lu Junze is indeed very special to her, but who can guarantee that this specialness can last a lifetime?

"My lady, Doctor Song is here." Xiao Linzi came in to report.

"Doctor Song?" Gu Shijin was a little confused. She didn't call the imperial physician.

Xiao Linzi: "My lady, Doctor Song said that the emperor asked him to check your pulse."

"Oh, then let Doctor Song come in."

Gu Shijin put his legs down from the couch and sat properly.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to Lady Jinpin." Song Jibai walked in with a smile on his face.

"Doctor Song." Gu Shijin also smiled and nodded.

Song Jibai bowed and said, "My lady, the emperor asked me to take your pulse."

Gu Shijin nodded and held out his hand: "Excuse me, Doctor Song."

After paving the way with the brocade handkerchief, Song Jibai placed his hand on Gu Shijin's wrist, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"My lady is recovering well, don't worry." Song Jibai withdrew his hand.

Not only did he recover well, but there were also unexpected surprises.

"Did you ever fall into the water in winter when you were a child?"

Gu Shijin: "Yes."

Gu Shijin hadn't thought of it before, and it was only after Song Jibai reminded her that such a picture flashed through her mind.

When she was little, she insisted that her elder brother go catch fish for her. The lake was frozen, so there were no fish. Gu Chengfeng naturally refused. But little Gu Shijin was a naughty and stubborn child. When her elder brother refused to let her catch fish, she went to catch fish by herself, and accidentally fell into the pond.

Because of this incident, her eldest brother felt guilty for a long time.

At that time, the doctor said that the cold weather might hurt his body, but Gu Shijin didn't take it seriously at all.

Gu Shijin frowned and asked, "Doctor Song, is there any problem?"

"No problem, my young master has recovered after this incident."

The last time Song Jibai took Gu Shijin's pulse, he didn't notice this problem because he didn't take it seriously. This time, Lu Junze came over and specifically greeted her and asked her to take a closer look at Gu Shijin's body.

Gu Shijin's eyebrows relaxed and he said, "Thank you, Doctor Song."

"My lord, you are too polite." Song Jibai said, "If my lord has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."

Gu Shijin: "Doctor Song, wait a minute."

"What do you want, young master?"

"Doctor Song, do you have any medicine to treat frostbite?"

"Of course there is. I will ask the medicine boy to bring it to you later." Gu Shijin's hands were very healthy. Song Jibai didn't find any problems when he took her pulse just now. It was obvious that this medicine was not for her own use, so Song Jibai didn't ask any more questions.

"Young Master..." After Song Jibai left, Xingzhu shouted in a hoarse voice with red eyes.

She would get frostbite on her hands every winter. She was afraid that it would be unsightly if the young lady saw it, so she always paid close attention to it. Unexpectedly, the young lady saw it anyway.

Gu Shijin touched Xingzhu's hand and said, "Chilblains are very uncomfortable. Don't touch cold water in winter. Leave it to the people below."

"Once the medicine is brought, remember to apply it every day."

Gu Shijin couldn't care about other people, but Xingzhu was someone who was really good to her, so she naturally cared about him. Gu Shijin would never treat his own people badly.

Xing Zhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, my lady. I will remember your kindness in my heart."

"Get up quickly." Gu Shijin pulled Xingzhu up.

On the other side, Song Jibai also went to the Yangxin Palace to report the results to Lu Junze.

"What's going on?" Lu Junze asked when he saw Song Jibai coming in.

Song Jibai picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, then said slowly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Junze looked up at Song Jibai without saying anything.

"Okay, okay." Song Jibai clapped his hands as he put the cake down and said, "No problem, your beloved concubine is in good health."

"You should know very well what effect your own blood has."

Of course Lu Junze knew it, he was just a little worried.

"This Imperial Doctor Yang's medical skills are quite good. He even cured Concubine Jin's hidden illness."

"unmentionable disease?"

"I fell into a pond when I was a kid."

Lu Junze seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "So that's why Jin'er hasn't been able to get pregnant for so long?"

After all, Lu Junze and Song Jibai were from the same school. Although Lu Junze was not proficient in medical skills, he still heard the hidden meaning in Song Jibai's words.

Song Jibai was speechless: "You really can grasp the key points."

Lu Junze ignored Song Jibai's words. He blurted out these words. After he said them, he realized that he wanted to have a child with Jin'er, a child that belonged only to the two of them.

"But you can't do this kind of thing again in the future." Song Jibai said seriously.

"Your blood has the effect of detoxification. You can't let others know."

This matter has been kept secret all along, and no one else knows about it except Song Jibai and Lu Junze. Now that it has become such a big deal, even if others are not sure, they will make some guesses.

"I understand." Lu Junze said, "I am in the palace, there is nothing to worry about."

"is it?"

"But I heard that some people took people out to set off lanterns a few days ago." Song Jibai said slowly.

Lu Junze: "Su Zicheng really can't control his mouth."

There are only a few people who know that he has left the palace. Su Deyuan couldn't have said it, so it could only be Su Zicheng.
