Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

"Princess, can you take me with you on this business?"

The emperor, who had drunk two glasses of red wine, asked Gao Zhijun.

"No, Father! This business of yours must be used to maintain the expenses of the clinic."

Gao Zhijun refused.

The clinic had to spend 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver every month, and Gao Zhijun found it a burden.

Prices in the capital city have skyrocketed, medicinal materials are expensive, and there are many people who need medical treatment. She really can't support it.

She originally wanted to maintain her business with rouge, but there were too many rouge shops in the capital, and she didn't have a workshop, so she had to rely on Taizhou to transport the goods. Distant water can't quench a nearby fire, and she couldn't help the medical clinic in the capital at all.

"Clinic expenses? Is the clinic business very bad?"

The emperor asked curiously. Princess Xiangyun's medical skills were witnessed by everyone, so it was impossible for her business to be bad.

"Father, my sister's clinic provides free medical treatment to the people. We don't charge for consultations or medicine. Moreover, the herbal medicine in the capital is expensive, and we have to pay the doctors and pharmacists monthly wages. We can't make ends meet at all."

The prince explained.

He admired his sister's righteous act, but he couldn't do it.

"What? All free? How much money does it cost per month?"

The emperor asked in shock.

He thought that the princess only didn't charge for consultations, but still charged for medicine. Now he heard that she was treating the common people for free. How much money would she have to spend?

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do this.

"It will cost about 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver every month. With the income from wine, it will be no problem to run the clinic."

Gao Zhijun said truthfully.

"I am ashamed to let a woman like you do this. I allocate 1,000 taels of gold to the clinic every month, just to make a small contribution!"

After hearing this, the emperor realized that Princess Xiangyun was doing her best to support the people.

He felt ashamed of himself for being so righteous.

"Thank you, Father!"

Gao Zhijun thanked him immediately.

With the emperor's 1,000 taels of gold every month, her stress was reduced.

Outside the princess's mansion, tables were placed on both sides of the street, and people from the capital came early in the morning to find seats. Those who couldn't get a seat had to wait for those who were eating to get up before they could sit down.

Gao Zhijun told housekeeper Murong that there must be ten dishes, because the word "ten" means auspiciousness. She also told the cook to make sure the portions were sufficient so that the people would be well fed.

Whether the people were sitting down to eat or standing and waiting, they all praised Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian, saying that they were a perfect match made in heaven.

An hour later, the emperor had eaten and drunk his fill and left with the empress dowager, the concubine dowager and the queen.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess stayed to help Gao Zhijun and see the guests off.

The wife of Anyang Marquis had been looking for an opportunity to drug Gao Zhijun in the princess's mansion so that her son and the princess would have a fait accompli. In this way, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, the princess would have to marry even if she wanted to. She had never found an opportunity to fulfill her wish, so she had to wait anxiously.

Of course, Anyang Hou's wife could not find an opportunity. She was arranged to live in the courtyard where the Sun family lived, far away from Gao Zhijun. This was Gao Zhijun's intention.

Anyang Hou had already met Huo Jinqian. If he wanted to recognize Huo Jinqian, he would definitely find a way to find Huo Jinqian. Anyway, she had already created an opportunity for him. Whether he could seize it was up to him.

"Yunxi, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to return to the capital forever? If the emperor knew that you faked your death, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and that would be a capital crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan."

When the Marquis of Huaiyang saw his 'dead' concubine in the princess's mansion, he asked in shock and fear.

The emperor is currently in the princess's residence. If he knew that Gu Yunxi's death was faked, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor and his entire clan would be executed.

"What are you afraid of? We are no longer related. Even if the emperor wants to punish me, it has nothing to do with the Marquis, and it will not implicate the Marquis's mansion."

Gu Yunxi said indifferently.

This man is so heartless. I gave birth to a daughter for him, but he is still so heartless.

"That's better! You haven't told me why you are here. And where is Qiu Jue? Isn't she back in the capital too?"

Huaiyang Hou looked at the elegant and noble lady in front of him, dressed in silk and satin, with maids following her, like a mistress of a house. How could he see the old lady?

Back then, she was dressed in coarse cloth, with a pair of calloused hands, rough and dark. She also had a face full of rough wrinkles, and her skin was dark and dark. She was only in her twenties, but she looked like an old woman, and there was no desire to look at her. So after sleeping with her once, the Marquis of Huaiyang never wanted her again.

Marquis Huaiyang forgot that he had never cared about her, never bought her cosmetics, never gave her any supplements, and had to get up before dawn every day to work until dusk. How could she become beautiful?

No one is born ugly, it depends on whether you are willing to buy cosmetics and dress up.

"Why I'm here has nothing to do with you. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, so I don't need to report to you. As for Jue'er, you don't deserve to know."

Gu Yunxi didn't want to continue talking to him, she wanted to go back to her room to rest.

"How dare you, a common woman, speak to the Marquis like that? Are you courting death?"

The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyang said angrily.

This bitch, she has been gone for more than ten years, why did she come back? If this was not the princess's residence and the emperor was not here, she would have torn her face apart long ago.

Just now she saw the Marquis's shock and surprise, which meant that the Marquis had become interested in her.

It was undeniable that this bitch had become different, more graceful and elegant than her, the mistress of the house.

"Madam Hou has such great power that she dares to insult and kill my grandmother. This is the rule of the Marquis' Mansion."

Gao Zhijun's voice came from behind, her tone filled with anger.
