In the study of the Hanwang Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu picked up a piece of paper with words and looked at it intently three times. Then he blew the undried ink marks on it a few times. He soon became a little impatient and took a piece of jade paper to press the rice paper.

"Is this Panax notoginseng?" Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the box, which was bigger than Jerusalem ginger.

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "When I say to the prince, this thing is Panax notoginseng, a top-notch product born in three years. Locals call it Leopard Head. I asked Dr. Chen that Panax notoginseng has the effect of nourishing qi and replenishing blood, and can also cure headaches. This thing is only available in Yunnan. For example, Panax notoginseng, which is of large size and small size, which is extremely difficult to buy from other places."

He paused and said, "But the palace has tributes all over the world, and it should be 37 miles."

"It doesn't matter if there is any in the palace." Zhu Gaoxu said disapprovingly, "I also said in the letter that when Gao Sui was newly married, I saw his mother and said that he often had a headache. Since Panax notoginseng can relieve pain, regardless of whether there is any in the palace, this is also a filial piety for being a son."

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "What the prince said is that just because the prince is worried about the queen's headache, this kind of intention is very precious."

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "The intention of giving gifts is just a reason. Don't forget that I will explain the most important thing to you, you must be meticulous!"

Wang Gui looked upright and bowed and said, "I will never dare to forget!"

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu said, "My name is Chen Dachui. Zhao Ping brings a few reliable guards to you. If you do that... just let Chen Dachui go, you will probably be more likely to be stared at."

Wang Gui bowed: "Sister obeying the order."

What Zhu Gaoxu wanted to do was to bring Xu Miaojin to Yunnan. If Guo Wei hadn't been sick in the past few days after he arrived in Yunnan, he would have sent someone back to Beijing long ago.

Before Wang Gui and his group left, Princess Guo Wei learned about this and wrote two letters to Wang Gui take back to Beijing; one for his parents and one for his sister Guo Yan.

...

It was April, and all the flowers in the capital were withering, but the king of the flowers was just about to bloom.

There are no peonies in the eastern palace of the imperial city. The prince was still the old mansion where he lived when he was the prince, but he planted many peonies. Among the flowers, the prince likes peonies the most. So in the early summer, the prince prepared to take his family back to the prince's mansion to enjoy the flowers.

Of course, the Crown Princess Zhang also had to accompany the crown prince back.

A palace maid opened the door next to the bedroom. It turned out that there was a windowless ear room inside. Now the room was unoccupied, but it was filled with various clothes, headwear, shoes and socks, and a red sandalwood dressing table, which turned into a room where Zhang specially placed clothes and hats.

Zhang sat down on the chair in front of the dressing table, and the two servants began to take their dresses and put them in front of them to show them, so that Zhang could choose.

The nearby servant Luo'er stood beside the chair and muttered, "When Concubine Guo started to pick clothes, she was earlier than you, and she didn't come to ask the queen first! I saw that she had no you in her eyes, and she ignored etiquette and just wanted to please the prince."

Zhang's single-eyed and small eyes showed a cold smile. He ignored Luo'er, and his eyes were still looking at the slave holding the clothes, and just shook his head and said, "Switch."

Luo'er continued to whisper: "Just picking clothes, she has been trying for almost half an hour. She kept asking the servants around her, except for peony, what kind of dresses the prince likes to see... The desire to invite favor is not even a cover!

It’s strange. I thought the prince would return to the palace after he had passed the novelty in the past, but I didn’t expect that for so long, the prince still loved to go to Concubine Guo’s side."

Zhang made a sound from his nose, his expression was very calm and he seemed to be careless.

As soon as Luo'er talked about these destructive things, the Crown Princess allowed her to say it again, so another slave also muttered: "Last time, I beat the passerby, but I was called by Concubine Guo Ci. But I was not the one who served her, so I was naturally reluctant in my heart. I agreed a little slower and was scolded! I also heard that Concubine Guo Ci said that she was from the Marquis' Mansion, as if she had the final say in the East Palace..."

When Zhang heard this, his face changed.

Previously, Luo'er said that the prince likes Concubine Guo Ci, and Zhang did not react at all. But after what happened just now, he angered Zhang. Zhang immediately pointed to the palace maid holding the dress and scolded: "Do you have no heart or lungs? You can't pick clothes?"

"I know I am wrong, I will change the same for the Empress." The palace maid hurriedly lowered her head and said.

The two people who were gossiping in front of Zhang just now quickly shut up. At this time, Luo'er walked over, picked up a piece of clothes and put them in front of her, and gestured, "Empress, what do you think of this outfit?"

Zhang saw that there was peonies embroidered on the Luo skirt, and then stopped his anger and said, "It's still Luo'er who knows my heart."

Luo'er said in a flattering tone: "The prince returns to the old mansion to appreciate the flowers. The prince doesn't need to wear a dress, so she can wear it beautifully. Except for the prince, the prince, who has the highest status in this trip. Peony is the king of flowers. If you don't wear peony, who dares to wear it?"

Everyone was dressed up and the ceremonial chariots and horses were ready. When Zhang and Guo Yan came to Zhu Gaochi, everyone found that the embroidery on their clothes was very similar!

But upon closer inspection, Guo Yan was not wearing peonies, but peonies. She had a chance to ask that peonies are not famous for the King of Flowers, but they are as big and beautiful as peonies, which is the flower that the prince likes. Otherwise, the prince would not have planted so many peonies in the old mansion, nor would he go back to appreciate the flowers in the season.

No wonder people often say in front of Zhang that Guo Cifei is very scheming and that she doesn’t wear a skirt, so she has many ideas.

The prince then brought a large group of ceremonial guards and followers to his family out of the imperial city and returned to his old mansion.

Peony is planted in the back garden of the old mansion. Today, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is coming. The ladies are wearing umbrellas to shade the sun, for fear that the tanning will affect their beauty. On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi doesn't want to hold an umbrella. He doesn't usually go out and looks white enough. He is just about to bask in the sun when he is enjoying the flowers.

When the crowd came to the garden, Zhu Gaochi asked the eunuchs to help them walk slowly, while the eunuchs behind him carried a chair and followed them. As long as Zhu Gaochi was tired of walking, he could sit down and rest for a while. He looked in a good mood today. As soon as he left the palace, the smile on his face became a little more.

Guo Yan really only had the prince in her eyes. As soon as she arrived in the back garden, she recited a poem in front of the prince: "The clouds think of clothes, flowers think of appearance, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick. If it weren't for the group of jade mountains, they would meet under the moon on the Yao platform."

The prince was very excited and praised him and said, "I chanted well."

At this moment, a group of bees suddenly flew from somewhere! The women on the flower path immediately screamed.

The group of bees flew straight towards Guo Yan. In the flash of lightning, Guo Yan was already disgraceful. She dropped her umbrella and turned around and ran away. She panicked and stepped on the peonies beside the stone path into a mess. However, where could she run past the bee's wings? Many bees had touched her body, causing her to let out miserable screams.

"Quick! Quick..." Zhu Gaochi pointed at Guo Yan. The eunuchs and palace maids rushed over. Some eunuchs were smart and immediately took off their coats and wanted to drive away the bees.

Suddenly, a "ah" screamed, Guo Yan staggered and fell into the pool. The eunuch and palace maid caught up and finally drove away the bees and rescued the wet Guo Yan.

The prince was so anxious that he pouted and turned to the edge of the pond. Seeing that Guo Yan was unconscious, his face was pale and his lips were even black! The water in the pond was very shallow and not as deep as the person. Guo Yan should have been overwhelmed, but he didn't know if it was falling or scared, so he fainted.

"Go and call the imperial physician immediately!" the prince shouted, "Please Concubine Guo Ci to the house and quickly dry the water from her body."

Such an accident happened and the flowers were not allowed to be appreciated, so everyone left the garden one after another.

The palace maids closed the door and wiped the concubine Guo Ci's body and changed their clothes. After a while, a scream came from the room. When Zhu Gaochi lifted the door and went in to see what happened, a palace maid said, "Concubine Guo Ci's bleeding!"

But everyone was helpless. When the imperial doctor arrived at the mansion, they asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse of Concubine Guo Ci. At this time, Guo Yan had already woken up.

After taking the pulse through the curtain, the imperial doctor asked the palace maid a few more words, and then said to Zhu Gaochi: "Report to the Prince Prince, the second concubine of the Prince is fine, but she is too scared and needs to rest for some time, but..."

The imperial doctor looked ugly and finally said: "But the second concubine's miscarriage is no longer able to save her."

"Is Concubine Guo pregnant?" Zhu Gaochi said in a daze, "Why don't I know?"

"This..." The imperial doctor couldn't answer these questions and stammered, "Or it's not long after the time is happy, so I can't see it?"

At this moment, Guo Yan's hissing sound suddenly sounded in the curtain: "Give me back! Give me back..."

The imperial doctor looked panicked and hurriedly said, "The lower official only knows how to take the pulse, and he doesn't know anything. Please change the place and prescribe the medicine to help the prince and second concubine take care of the noble body."

The imperial doctor held his fists and politely, and after he left, he also ran away from this place of right and wrong as if he had escaped.

Sure enough, Guo Yan stopped shouting, but struggled to reach out and lift the curtain, with tears on his face and said, "Crown Prince, someone has tampered with my clothes, smeared honey and something, someone has harmed me!"

Zhu Gaochi's face turned pale, but he was calmer than Guo Yan. He said, "Don't be impatient. Things have come to this point, and I'll be happy to have a good life. I will definitely find out the truth and give my beloved a fair concubine. You are pregnant with the emperor! I want to see who's whole family is tired of living!"

Zhu Gaochi walked out of the room and immediately passed the order: "Catch all the slaves around Concubine Guo Ci!"

After a while, some eunuchs and palace maids ran over by themselves, knelt in the yard and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhu Gaochi looked at them and blurted out: "The eunuchs are the worst! Drag these eunuchs out and beat me to death immediately!"

"Crown Prince, please spare me, I did nothing, I am wronged..." Several eunuchs kowtowed with blood and tears flowing on their faces.
