Someone spent a great deal of money to buy a fist-sized Luminous Pearl from an out-of-town merchant and presented it to the Second Prince, only to discover it was a fake.
The Second Prince felt he had been mocked and ordered his men to arrest the merchant who sold the Luminous Pearl.
The out-of-town merchant was terrified and hurriedly shouted.
"Don't arrest me! My sister works in the palace! She's a favorite of the Noble Consort! You can't arrest me!"
When Li Hao heard this, his interest was immediately piqued. Upon further questioning, he learned the truth.
The out-of-town merchant before him was actually telling the truth. He really did have a sister named Zijuan who served the Imperial Concubine.
Li Hao felt that the name Zijuan sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Unfortunately, he was still confined to his residence for self-reflection and couldn't enter the palace to ask his mother.
