Peacock Order

In the third year of Zhenghe, Emperor Wu issued an edict to kill Zhao Polu and his family. His daughter Zhao Er escaped by hiding in a woodshed cabinet and was sent to the Peacock Camp by the King of Ren, a secret camp where orphans of guilty ministers were refined into sharp blades. A peacock feather was branded on his left arm and he spent seven years sharpening his sword. Seven years later, she transformed into a medicine-gathering girl and stepped into Shanglin Garden in a situation where the horse was frightened and the driver was rescued, and she became the Emperor Wu's favorite concubine, Mrs. Gou Yi. Revenge and love were torn apart day and night in Ganquan Palace. She was pregnant with the flesh and blood of her enemy, and chose to save him between antidote and poison. Minister Tuogu forced her to die because "a young child and a strong mother will be a disaster" - she chose to hang herself in exchange for her son's accession to the throne. Many years later, a peacock grass grew on the barren tomb, with the words "Ninth day of October in the third year of Zhenghe" engraved on the bronze mirror at its root.
