Gu Shijin breathed a sigh of relief only after leaving Fengyi Palace. As the saying goes, three women make a play, and the women in the harem can set up more than a dozen stages.

Gu Shijin couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about having to pay his respects every day.

Xingyue looked at Shi Jin and frowned and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Shijin shook his head: "Let's go, go back quickly, it will be hot soon."

"Gu Shijin! Stop right there!"

After taking only two steps, Concubine Chen's domineering voice sounded from behind.

Concubine Chen walked up to Gu Shijin angrily and said, "Gu Shijin, did you do that on purpose just now in Fengyi Palace?"

Gu Shijin took a step forward and looked at her coldly: "Mrs. Chen, you and I are both noble ladies. I have a title but you... don't. Calling you sister is giving you face, don't be shameless!"

In the harem, those with the same rank and title are more noble than those without titles, and those who enter the palace first with the same rank are called sisters.

Today, Concubine Chen started by saying that her sister was not in accordance with the rules, but Gu Shijin did not want to argue about such trivial matters. However, Concubine Chen was obviously getting more and more unreasonable, so Gu Shijin naturally would not give her face.

"You..." Concubine Chen was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Gu Shijin's face and said, "You have only been favored by the emperor once in three years since entering the palace. What are you so proud of? It's just that you have one more title than me. Who knows what means you used to climb onto the dragon bed."

Gu Shijin grabbed Concubine Chen's hand and was about to use force when she suddenly saw a bright yellow shadow flash through the gap between the branches. Her eyes flashed and she fell backwards.

"My lady, are you okay?" Xingyue hurried to help Gu Shijin up, then turned to look at Concubine Chen: "My lady Chen, how could you push our lady?"

Concubine Chen panicked for a moment, then calmed down: "How dare you, a palace maid, be so rude to me!"

"Lotus, slap me in the face!"

When He Hua heard what Concubine Chen said, she walked forward and was about to take action when she was interrupted.

"presumptuous!"

A majestic and cold voice was heard, and Gu Shijin looked up and saw that it was indeed the emperor.

There are only a few people in this palace who can wear bright yellow clothes. It is impossible for the Queen to appear in the Imperial Garden at this time. The Queen Mother has not returned to the palace yet. The only person who can appear here is the Emperor.

"Concubine, please see the emperor."

"Slave, please see your Majesty."

Everyone knelt down and saluted.

When Gu Shijin fell, he deliberately supported himself with his hands on the gravel on the ground. Although the injury was not serious, a large area of ​​his body was red, which looked quite scary.

Lu Junze raised his hand to help Gu Shijin: "Get up, is your hand okay?"

Gu Shijin stood up, smiled and shook her head: "Your Majesty, I am fine."

"Help your young master."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Junze turned to look at Concubine Chen: "How dare you yell and shove people in the Imperial Garden?!"

Concubine Chen was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. It was her. She fell down by herself."

"Do you think I'm blind?" Lu Junze's eyes were cold.

"Your Majesty, please believe me. I did not push her. It was Concubine Jin who really fell down by herself." Concubine Chen's tone was very aggrieved, and she looked at Gu Shijin with malice.

Such malice was clearly seen by Lu Junze who was standing in front of him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Su Deyuan, pass on my order. The noble lady Chen has deceived the emperor, has lost her moral character, and lacks etiquette. She is demoted to a concubine and must reflect on her mistakes from today on."

Su Deyuan: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Chen turned pale immediately and fell to the ground, looking at Lu Junze with tears in her almond-shaped eyes.

It’s just that she was hurt on the face by Concubine De, and this expression at this moment not only did not make Lu Junze feel pity, but made him feel even more disgusted.

"Su Deyuan, take the person away."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Deyuan waved his hand, and immediately two guards came forward and took Chen Guiren... oh, now it's Chen Changzai, away.

With her moral integrity and lack of etiquette, Chen Changzai's career in the harem has come to an end.

"Take your young lady back and have the imperial physician take a good look at her to make sure there is no root of disease left."

Gu Shijin bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

After Lu Junze gave the order, he took Su Deyuan away.

Just now, the Queen's people invited him to have lunch at Fengyi Palace. As there was nothing to do in the morning court today, he wanted to go over early to see the Queen. He didn't expect to encounter this in the Imperial Garden.

"My lady, the emperor really cares about you." Xingyue said happily while supporting Gu Shijin.

Care about her?

Lu Junze would do the same even if he met other concubines today.

But Gu Shijin's heart was calm. What she wanted was never the emperor's concern. Besides, how long could an emperor's concern last?

Gu Shijin looked up at the sky of the Forbidden City. What she wanted was to live a good life in this Forbidden City.

Live without being bullied.

Ningyu Pavilion is remote, and when Gu Shijin arrived, the imperial physician was already waiting there.

"This humble servant pays respects to Lady Jin."

The imperial physician looked young, far from the old man that Gu Shijin had imagined. Instead, he was elegant and handsome.

"The Emperor asked me to examine your hand."

Gu Shijin was a little surprised, then he bowed towards Chengqian Palace with a bit of shyness on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Doctor Song." Gu Shijin stretched out her left hand. Xingzhu told her the doctor's last name when they came back.

"You are too polite, young master."

Gu Shijin controlled the force when he fell, and the wound on his hand looked scary but not serious. After a while, even the redness disappeared.

"My lady's hand is not seriously injured. I will prescribe some medicine for you to apply. It will be fine in the afternoon."

This extremely perfunctory inspection made Gu Shijin couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Little did she know that if the emperor hadn't sent someone to ask him, Song Jibai wouldn't even prescribe the medicine.

After Doctor Song left, Gu Shijin called Xingzhu over.

"Xingzhu, do you know the origins of Imperial Physician Song?" If he were just an ordinary imperial physician, he would not be so casual in doing things, and he would not be so sure when making a diagnosis.

Xing Zhu: "My lady, Doctor Song's surname is Song and his given name is Ji Bai. I don't know his origins either. I only know that the emperor was seriously injured by an assassin when he ascended the throne. Doctor Song appeared in the palace at that time and has been staying in the Imperial Hospital ever since."

Gu Shijin nodded.

In the novels she read before, every domineering president had a doctor friend. This emperor is of a higher rank than the domineering president, so it is not surprising for him to have a doctor friend.

"My lady, the emperor is thinking about you and has personally ordered the imperial physician to come." Xingyue took the ointment left by Song Jibai and carefully applied it on Gu Shijin's hand. It felt cool and refreshing.

Gu Shijin also felt strange.

After they separated in the Imperial Garden, Lu Junze continued to go to the Queen's Fengyi Palace. Halfway there, he suddenly instructed Su Deyuan to find an imperial physician to go to Ningyu Pavilion to see Concubine Jin.

Seeing the emperor's emphasis on Concubine Jin, Su Deyuan asked his apprentice to go to the Imperial Hospital to find Imperial Physician Song.

News from the harem spreads the fastest. In just one morning, the news that Concubine Chen offended Concubine Jin and was demoted to a concubine by the emperor spread throughout the harem.
