The third prince grabbed Zhou Feng's hand, stared at the three moles on his hand, and asked in shock: "Have you been using these moles since you were a child?" Zhou Feng quickly took his hand back, turned around and said: "My guest, you are wrong, this is not a mole, it's just the black sesame seeds that I accidentally dropped in my hand when I was having breakfast this morning." As he said that, he rubbed it with his hand. The Third Prince strode forward, "Impossible, I just saw that it was a mole."

Zhou Feng was afraid of being recognized, and immediately said with a stern face: "You really saw it wrong."

At this time, the waiter beside him also came over. He thought that this person was looking for trouble, "Sir, do you want to buy incense? If not, please go out."

The Third Prince stared at Zhou Feng for a long time and suddenly calmed down.

He took two steps back, "Excuse me, I must have seen it wrong just now."

He looked up at the incense cabinet in front of him and pointed to the three rows of incense dew, "I bought all the incense dew here."

"All bought?" The waiter was very surprised.

The Third Prince nodded slightly and pointed to the incense pills at hand, "I want these."

The waiter quickly took the abacus and calculated, "Sir, here is a total of four hundred taels of silver."

The Third Prince didn't even think about it, and directly took out a silver note from his arms, which happened to be four hundred taels.

The clerk took it in his hand, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

Earning four hundred taels of silver in one go is not a small amount.

Zhou Feng deliberately stayed away from the Third Prince, turned sideways and told the clerk: "Pack the incense for this guest."

"Okay, shopkeeper!" The clerk responded quickly and got up to pack the incense.

The Third Prince stood at the door and looked at Zhou Feng for a long time, then left the incense shop.

After leaving the incense shop, he hurried back to his house and immediately sent his confidant to inquire about the Zhou family incense shop.

Within three days, the people sent out had news.

"Your Highness, the owner of Zhou's incense shop is surnamed Zhou, and his family lives in Cheng'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture."

The Third Prince asked hurriedly: "Apart from these, is there anything else? For example, who is in his family?"

After pondering for a moment, the confidant slowly said: "This Zhou family was born in a farming family, and the whole family lives in the small Changliu Village, so there is not much information to be found, but he is quite close to Mr. Fang. Do you want to go to Cheng'an County in person to find Mr. Fang?"

Mr. Fang and the Third Prince used to be old acquaintances. Although they are more than 20 years apart in age, they are close friends.

It's just that Mr. Fang left the capital very early.

The confidant said again: "Your Highness, this matter cannot be publicized. If we send people to Changliu Village to investigate, it will definitely attract the attention of Concubine Wu and the Wu family."

The third prince nodded, "That's right, then I will go to the palace tomorrow to tell my brother that I am going to Cheng'an County to visit the weak Master Fang, and bring him some precious medicinal materials."

Master Fang has been getting old recently and is indeed in poor health. He mentioned it in the letter to him a few days ago.

The confidant hurriedly saluted, "Okay, Master."

The next morning, the third prince immediately resigned from the emperor, and took the confidant with him. The two of them sat in a carriage and rushed to Cheng'an County.

The third prince was originally anxious and wanted to ride a fast horse, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the emperor and Concubine Wu, so he chose a relatively luxurious carriage and filled it with gifts, really looking like he was going to visit relatives.

Fortunately, the emperor was still distracted by missing the queen and didn't notice that the third prince was not right.

In Changliu Village.

In the Zhou family's incense room, new incense was being steamed in full swing.

Du Wanchun was busy grinding incense powder.

Zhou Ruiyuan was busy making fire. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Before long, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Du Wanchun put the ground incense powder aside, came to him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "Husband, why don't you go and rest first, I'll watch the fire here."

Zhou Ruiyuan threw the firewood in his hand into the fire, "It's okay, it's hard to control the temperature, I'll do it."

After saying that, he didn't forget to remind her, "It's hot here, don't stay here for long."

Du Wanchun took back the handkerchief, smelled the steamed fragrance inside, and smiled, "This fragrance should be steamed well, I'll go out later."

Mrs. Zhou came in with a basin of washed fruits and petals, "Wanchun, try this."

After saying that, she gave Du Wanchun a red fruit in her hand.

Du Wanchun took it in her hand and looked at it, "Mom, what is this?"
