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

Gu Shijin's pregnancy reactions were more serious than she had expected. Ever since she vomited in the Yangxin Palace that day, she began to feel nauseous and retching frequently.

"Ugh... ugh..."

"My lady..." Xingyue patted Gu Shijin on the back, very worried.

Her young lady has been like this for the past few days. She vomits everything she eats and even dry heaves when she drinks water. She has lost a lot of weight.

Gu Shijin sat on the bed, holding his waist, and drank some water to rinse his mouth.

"I am fine."

Gu Shijin had been single for her entire life in her previous life. She didn’t even have a nightlife, let alone pregnancy. She had only heard others say that pregnancy was uncomfortable, but she didn’t expect the reaction to her to be so severe!

"Go and bring me a bowl of sour plum soup."

"Yes, my lord."

This time, Gu Shijin drank the entire bowl of sour plum soup, and his stomach felt much better.

only……

After a while, Xiao Linzi came in with a bowl of medicine: "My lady, it's time to take the medicine."

This is the pregnancy-preserving medicine Song Jibai prescribed for her.

Gu Shijin closed his eyes, took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

This medicine tastes really bad. As soon as I drank it, my stomach started churning again and a feeling of nausea rose up my throat.

Gu Shijin was afraid that he would have to drink a second bowl of medicine after vomiting, so he endured it again and again and finally suppressed the feeling of nausea.

"You guys go down, I'll take a nap." Gu Shijin said.

After becoming pregnant, Gu Shijin became sleepy, sometimes sleeping for seven or eight hours a day.

But Gu Shijin thought this was a good thing because he wouldn't have morning sickness after falling asleep.

After lying on the bed, Gu Shijin lost his sleepiness again.

"These people are able to keep their composure this time."

The news has been circulating for seven or eight days, but there is still no movement.

"It looks like he's holding back a big one."

Gu Shijin was looking forward to it very much.

Make a fuss, the bigger the better.

As he thought about it, Gu Shijin gradually fell asleep.

When Lu Junze came, he saw Gu Shijin sleeping soundly with a pale face. He lowered his head and kissed Gu Shijin's forehead, with pity in his eyes very obvious.

"Your young master is still vomiting so violently?" Lu Junze asked.

Xingzhu: “Yes.”

Lu Junze couldn't bear the morning sickness for Gu Shijin, so he could only care more about him.

"You guys go down, I will stay with Concubine Jin for a while."

"Yes."

Lu Junze didn't do anything else. He just sat beside the bed and stared at Gu Shijin.

It's amazing. Gu Shijin isn't a stunningly handsome person, but she is able to pull at his heartstrings.

When Gu Shijin woke up, she saw Lu Junze looking at her with deep affection in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and a trace of panic flashed through her mind.

"Jin'er is awake?" Lu Junze's gentle voice sounded.

Gu Shijin sat up, looked at Lu Junze and said, "Why is the emperor here?"

"I came to see you." Lu Junze held Gu Shijin's hand, "Is your morning sickness better today?"

"Your Majesty, I am feeling better now."

“Everyone has lost weight.”

"Your Majesty, this is a normal reaction to pregnancy. It will be fine after this period of time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Jin'er."

Gu Shijin didn't say anything else and snuggled in Lu Junze's arms. She just wanted to let Lu Junze know how difficult it was for her to get pregnant.

She gave birth to a child for Lu Junze, which should have made her realize that Gu Shijin was not someone who would endure it silently.

After Lu Junze left that day, Xiao Linzi came in.

"My Lord, there is movement over there."

Gu Shijin smiled and finally couldn't help it.

“Whose people are they?”

"My lady, it's Song Xiuyi's man."

Gu Shijin: "Where is Concubine De?"

"My lady, Concubine De's men have not made any moves, but I see Concubine De's men are monitoring outside Song Xiuyi's palace."

"Keep an eye on Concubine De's people and help them when necessary."

"Yes, my lord."

Last time, Defei used her as an alibi for Concubine Liu’s incident, so she had to give her a taste of her own medicine.

After June 15th, each palace can start using ice.

Gu Shijin was a concubine, so even though her share of ice was small, it was enough for her to use, so the Imperial Household Department sent it to her.

But in fact, she had already used ice, which was secretly sent to her by Lu Junze.

"My lady, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has delivered ice." Xiao Linzi came in to report and looked up at Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin nodded and said, "Let them send it in."

"Yes, my lord."

Ice is also divided into grades: first, second, and third.

First-grade ice is for eating and is the cleanest. This kind of ice is generally only used by the emperor, empress, queen mother and others. Second-grade ice is inferior, but the middle part of second-grade ice can also be eaten.

Third-grade ice is not as good. Third-grade ice is chiseled by people in the river in winter and stored in ice cellars.

Gu Shijin's position was not high, but she was favored, so the ice sent to her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was second-grade ice.

The person who came to bring ice to Gu Shijin was a little eunuch whom Gu Shijin had never seen before.

"My lady, this ice is given to you by Eunuch Deng as a gift."

The young eunuch brought two portions of ice. The smaller portion was very clean and one could tell at a glance that it was first-rate ice, not something that Gu Shijin could use now.

Gu Shijin smiled and nodded, "Thank you, eunuch. Please thank Eunuch Deng for me."

Then, Gu Shijin looked at Xingyue and said, "Bring me a bowl of sour plum soup and put some ice cubes in it."

"Yes, my lord."

"You go down." Gu Shijin said to the eunuch who was delivering ice.

"Yes, the slave will leave."

The young eunuch did not leave after leaving Ningyu Pavilion, but stayed around the Pavilion, observing something.

Thinking of the task and promise given to him by his master, the young eunuch felt both frightened and excited. If he succeeded, he would be able to rise to the top in one step and would never be bullied again.

"You will definitely succeed!" The young eunuch encouraged himself with his fists clenched.

After the eunuch left, Gu Shijin put the sour plum soup on the table, looking puzzled: "Why would Song Xiuyi use such a despicable method?"

Since she knew she was pregnant, she must have understood that she would not easily eat food sent from outside, so why would she make it so obvious?

"My lady, do you mean that this was not done by Song Xiuyi?" Xing Zhu was the first to react.

"It's probably not." Gu Shijin stared at the ice and said, "Xiao Linzi, go check it out."

"Yes, my lord."

As it turned out, Song Xiuyi really wasn't the one who did this, but she was somewhat involved.

The young eunuch who came to deliver the ice was not an experienced hand and it was probably his first time, so he revealed a lot of flaws. Xiao Linzi followed the clues and found Concubine Sheng.

Concubine Sheng has been very low-key recently, and the Public Security Bureau almost forgot about her. Unexpectedly, she jumped out at this time.

Gu Shijin couldn't understand how her pregnancy had any bearing on Concubine Sheng?

But the women in the harem are all crazy and do things without reason.

"My lady, I found out that it was Song Xiuyi's people who told Concubine Sheng."

"Ah……"

Now that the stage has been set up for Gu Shijin, of course he has to perform.

"Go get the doctor."

"Yes."

Xiao Linzi left Ningyu Pavilion in a panic and went to the Imperial Hospital.
