"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The ointment you sent is excellent. My injuries are almost healed now."

"Then you should take a good rest. I will come to see you in a few days."

"Yes, then I will go back first."

When Fu Qianyu turned to leave, she pretended to drop the handkerchief.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu hurried forward, picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Zhao Yuancheng.

Zhao Yuancheng looked at the handkerchief with a gloomy look in his eyes. Without saying anything, he took the handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.

This scene in the small garden was soon reported to Gao's ears by someone with a quick tongue.

"This Fu family is really restless. She seduced the prince right under your nose. How despicable."

The person who said this was Qi Zhaoxun. She entered the palace with the original owner. Although her family background was not high, she was born with a clever tongue. After entering the palace, she joined the Gao family camp.

Sitting next to her was Fengyi Xia, who originally served the prince as a palace maid.

Because she gave birth to the prince's eldest daughter, she was promoted to Fengyi.

Qi chattered incessantly, while Xia just sat quietly drinking tea.

Until Gao, who was lying on the couch, slowly opened her eyes, "Then according to my sister's wishes, what should we do?"

Qi sat up straight, a ruthless look flashing in her eyes. "Ms. Fu has committed treason and disrespected me, and yet she still refuses to repent. In my humble opinion, I should eliminate her completely to prevent future troubles!"

Her tone was cold, like the chill wind blowing along the wall beneath the eaves.

Gao ignored her and asked Xia, "What do you think?"

Xia held the teacup and smiled slightly. "In my opinion, this Fu was disrespectful to my sister. Twenty strokes of the cane are more than enough. After all, she was chosen by the Empress to enter the palace. If she were to die, I'm afraid the Empress would have a hard time explaining it."

Gao stood up with the help of the maid, raising her eyebrows: "Although my sister's family background is not high, her insights are truly extraordinary."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Gao's words, Xia immediately stood up and knelt on the ground. "I am able to be where I am today because of your protection. It is my duty to share your worries."

Gao smiled with satisfaction and signaled the maid to help Xia up. "I heard Yan'er wasn't feeling well a few days ago. Is she feeling better now?"

Zhao Yiyan is the eldest daughter of the crown prince.

Xia nodded. "Thank you for your concern, sister. Yan'er just caught a cold. The imperial physician has already come to see her, and she's fine."

Gao raised her eyebrows at the maid, who turned around and took out a purple ginseng of excellent quality from the box.

"This was sent in by my father a few days ago. You can take it back later and use it to nourish Yan'er."

Xia hesitated and refused to accept the child, but Gao said, "I am Yan'er's stepmother, so I naturally feel sorry for her. You don't have to feel uneasy."

In this case, Xia had no choice but to accept it.

Not long after, someone came in to report that the prince was on his way to Zhaoyang Palace. The two of them couldn't stay any longer, so they got up and said goodbye.
