Hu Sanlang took the spice and said a little embarrassedly, "I won't show this kind of dirty stuff to the princess, for fear of polluting her eyes."

"What do you mean? Explain clearly."

"Princess, this spice is called Peach Blossom Dysfunction. It's not really a spice, but to be precise, it's a drug that can confuse the mind and has aphrodisiac effects."

Zhao Yuanqing was shocked. "Bewitching? Aphrodisiac? Are you sure? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Of course I am sure, Princess. I have been in the spice business for over twenty years and have seen all kinds of spices. This Peach Blossom Madness is something you have rarely seen. Firstly, no one dares to show it to you, Princess. Secondly, this spice is extremely rare and can only be found in the Peach Blossom Miasma of the Western Regions."

Zhao Yuanqing asked, "Does it have a faint peach blossom fragrance when it is lit?"

Hu Sanlang said in surprise, "Exactly! Could it be that the princess has seen it?"

Not only had Zhao Yuanqing seen it, she had also smelled it, and had been smelling it for two years!

In her previous life, she married into the Cui family, and when Lu Ruoyi went to see her, he brought her this spice.

Lu Ruoyi said that its name was Peach Blossom Dream. When it was lit, it emitted a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, which could make men fall in love with it. For this reason, Zhao Yuanqing smoked it day and night, making himself smell like peach blossoms, just to impress Cui Hao.

As a result, today, Hu Sanlang said that the name of this spice is Taohuadian. There is only one word difference between "meng" and "dian", but they are a world of difference!

Zhao Yuanqing suppressed his surprise and said, "Tell me the details."

"Yes, Princess. Once this peach blossom is lit, it will emit a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. If people inhale it for a long time, they will experience abnormal behavior."

"What abnormal behaviors?"

Hu Sanlang glanced at Zhao Yuanqing. "Well, she loves to dress up, and she'll try her best to show off around the person she admires, acting like a madman. She's extremely submissive to them, giving them whatever they want."

Hu Sanlang was a little speechless. He heard that Princess Shanzhen had been following Cui Hao for more than a year and was extremely crazy. Isn't it like she was crazy after taking peach blossoms?

Zhao Yuanqing fell into deep thought. Extremely submissive, giving whatever he wanted? Wasn't that just himself in his previous life?

In her previous life, no matter what Cui Hao wanted, Zhao Yuanqing would find ways to get it for him. She tried her best to perform in front of Cui Hao, just hoping that Cui Hao would like her.

"This peach blossom is so magical, doesn't it mean that everyone who smells it will go crazy?"

"Not really. For this peach blossom frenzy to work, two conditions are necessary. One is that it must be inhaled for a long time, and the other is that the person you love must be in front of you frequently to arouse your desire."

"Is there no way to solve this peach blossom epilepsy after inhalation?"

"Not really. Everything is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Naturally, there are spices that can control this peach blossom frenzy."

Hu Sanlang picked up a handful of round objects from the table and said, "Princess, this is called Sichuan peppercorn. Just grind it into powder and take a few puffs every day to break the effect of the peach blossom epilepsy."

Zhao Yuanqing took it and took a deep breath. A pungent smell rushed into her nostrils, making her sneeze.

Hu Sanlang said, "The princess sneezed, which means it's working. This pepper can help people expel the inhaled peach blossom fragrance and circulate the energy in their bodies."

Zhao Yuanqing was no stranger to Sichuan peppercorns. "Isn't this something they often use when making pancakes?"

"Exactly, Princess. Sichuan peppercorns are also a cooking spice, but many people don't know that they are an antidote for peach blossom epilepsy."

At this point, Hu Sanlang added, "Princess, this pepper is used more in autumn and winter, and less in spring and summer, so using peach blossom ecstasy in spring is the most effective, and people will go crazy."

Zhao Yuanqing understood. In her previous life, she was most passionate about Cui Hao in spring. She followed him every day, which made Cui's mother scold her like a cat in heat. The words were extremely unpleasant, but Zhao Yuanqing could not control herself. The Cui family was afraid of being embarrassed, so they simply locked her up at home and did not let her go out. But she was much better in autumn and winter.

It turned out that in her previous life, Zhao Yuanqing became more and more crazy about Cui Hao because of this peach blossom, and this peach blossom was given to her by her good sister-in-law Lu Ruoyi!

Lu Ruoyi! You and I have no grudges against each other, yet you gave me Peach Blossom Crazy, driving me crazy every day. What exactly do you want to do?

Zhao Yuanqing's face turned cold and dark, looking very scary. Hu Sanlang didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a moment, Zhao Yuanqing calmed down and said, "Your spices are very good. I want them all."

Hu Sanlang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Princess!"

"Don't thank me yet, I have something else to ask you."

"Princess, please speak."

Zhao Yuanqing took out a small bag, which contained the spices Liuli had ordered at Yuzhen Temple. "Can you tell me what spices are in these?"

Hu Sanlang took it and carefully examined it, then brought it close to his nose and sniffed it, saying, "It contains black agarwood and water benzoin, both of which are spices that calm the mind, but..."

"But what?"

"There seems to be some muscle softening powder and knockout drug in here."

"What? Are you sure?"

Zhao Yuanqing's face changed, and Hu Sanlang was also frightened. What was wrong with this Princess Shanzhen? Sometimes she had peach blossom epilepsy, sometimes she took knockout drugs, and sometimes she took muscle softening powder. Hu Sanlang felt that he had fallen into the conspiracy of the palace, and he regretted coming here very much.

"Princess, I can smell these two things. I dare not lie to you."

Zhao Yuanqing recalled her past life. In Yuzhen Temple, Liuli lit spices and she fell into a deep sleep on the bed. When she woke up, Cui Hao, Princess Rongchang and others surrounded her. Next to her was the dead Hatalon. No wonder she had a headache and felt weak all over. It turned out that it was because she inhaled the knockout drug and muscle softening powder!

Liuli has always been in charge of her spices. This knockout drug and muscle softening powder must have been made by her, what a traitorous dog slave!

Zhao Yuanqing suppressed his anger and said, "Hu Sanlang, do you have any knockout drugs or muscle softening powder? Sell me some."

Hu Sanlang took out two oil-paper bags from his arms and said, "Princess, we merchants carry these things for self-defense. Please don't blame me, Princess. These are for you."

"Okay, Hu Sanlang, I won't treat you unfairly, but there's one thing: after you get out, don't tell anyone about this peach blossom anesthetic and soft tendon powder. Otherwise, if I don't take your life, someone else will!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Hu Sanlang was sweating all over.

Zhao Yuanqing shouted, "Someone come!"

Wen Xing walked in, "Princess."

"Give Hu Sanlang ten gold coins."

"Yes."

Ten golden gold ingots were placed in front of Hu Sanlang. One was worth ten taels, and ten of them were worth a hundred taels. Hu Sanlang's eyes were full of golden little stars. This gold was enough for him to spend for a lifetime!

"Thank you princess!"

"Take this gold and go!"

"Yes!"

Hu Sanlang put ten gold ingots into the secret pocket of his arms, carried his saddle bag and left through the side door of the princess's mansion. He did not even return to the inn where he was staying. He went to a clothing store to buy a set of clothes and bought dozens of pieces of silk. He disguised himself as a silk merchant and left Chang'an City. He never came back for the rest of his life.

Over the next few days, Zhao Yuanqing met with other Hu merchants and bought all the precious spices they had. Didn't everyone say she was trying to please Cui Hao? Well, let's wait and see!
