Chapter 14 Zhu Di: He dared to neglect his duties even though he was not allowed to go to Yunnan?
Princess Consort Han comforted him, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry so much. Let's think of another way!"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Yes, it seems that's the only way for now."
"And right now, there's one more thing I need to do."
Princess Consort of Han asked curiously, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
"I plan to go and buy something," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Now that I've made some progress in cultivating immortality, what I need to do is refine pills."
"And I must buy one of these alchemy cauldrons!"
"Your Highness, you're going to refine elixirs?" The Princess Consort of Han was stunned!
"That's right. And the pills I refine are not ordinary pills. If I succeed, I can not only refine high-quality pills, but even the legendary immortal pills." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
The Princess Consort of Han stared wide-eyed, and then looked at her husband.
"Your Highness, are you really sure you can do it?"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "I'm not sure either. What we need to do now is just try, and hopefully it will succeed."
Princess Consort of Han said, "Then Your Highness, you don't need to go in person. I'll send someone to buy a few good alchemy cauldrons, won't that be enough?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Refining pills is no small matter, and the pill cauldron must be handled with care."
"This time, I'll go myself; you just stay home."
"Alright, I'll do as Your Highness says." Princess Han smiled slightly.
"My beloved concubine, let me kiss you." Zhu Gaoxu put his arm around the slender waist of the Princess of Han.
"Oh dear, how annoying!" the Princess Consort of Han said shyly. "We're an old married couple, don't do this!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed heartily, feeling much happier.
Because he can cultivate immortality and refine elixirs, his future path will definitely be smooth sailing.

Inside the Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Di received news that the Prince of Han had finally come out of his room and left the Prince of Han's residence.
Zhu Di asked in bewilderment, "Has this kid finally lost his patience?"
"Then Your Majesty, should our people still follow?" Ji Gang asked.
"Follow me," Zhu Di said. "This time, I want to see what this kid is up to."
Ji Gang nodded: "Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
A moment later, only the Yongle Emperor remained in the entire Fengtian Hall.
"This time, I want to see what this brat is up to."
To be honest, Zhu Di was also quite curious.
…………
On the streets of the capital, Zhu Gaoxu's figure slowly appeared.
He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he noticed with a quick scan of his divine sense that someone was following him.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile faintly.
This old man is really something! These Imperial Guards are really sticking to him like glue!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much of it; these Imperial Guards naturally posed no threat to him.
With his current cultivation level, dealing with mere mortal Jinyiwei is a piece of cake.
Besides, they were all his father's men, so Zhu Gaoxu had no need to pay them any attention.
Zhu Gaoxu arrived at a shop.
"Is there a pill-making cauldron here?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
The shop owner recognized Zhu Gaoxu and quickly said, "Your Highness, I just received a few pill-making cauldrons. You may take a look."
After saying that, he began to lead the way, and soon they arrived in front of several alchemy cauldrons.
These alchemy cauldrons are all brand new.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Your Highness, these alchemy cauldrons are all good stuff I recently acquired."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.
He held one of the alchemical cauldrons and moved it slightly with his hand.
This alchemy cauldron is made of copper and iron, so it is quite sturdy.
This applies not only to this one alchemy cauldron, but to all the other alchemy cauldrons as well.
There are five or six alchemy cauldrons in total.
Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and decided to buy all of these alchemy cauldrons.
After all, he was only using one cauldron for this alchemy session, and if it exploded, he would have to buy a new one.
In that case, why not buy a few more?
Zhu Gaoxu saw all of this.
"Pack all these alchemical cauldrons up and send them to the Prince of Han's residence without fail!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered.
"Alright, I'll send someone to arrange it right away!" the shopkeeper said with a smile, but he couldn't help but interject, "Your Highness, what do you need so many pill cauldrons for?"
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, and the shopkeeper instantly realized he had said the wrong thing. He then slapped himself.
"It was my fault for being so talkative!"
"Do your job well, and you'll get your share of the rewards once it's done."
"Yes, yes!"
The shop owner nodded quickly and watched Zhu Gaoxu leave.
After the King of Han left, he also ordered his men to pack up these cauldrons.
"Pack up all these alchemy cauldrons and send them to the Prince of Han's residence," the shopkeeper ordered. "I'm telling you, these cauldrons were personally selected by the Prince of Han. If anything goes wrong, ten of you won't be enough to pay for it all."
The servants nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes!"
The shopkeepers took the six alchemy cauldrons and delivered them directly to the Han Prince's residence.
This matter naturally attracted the attention of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
They were acting on His Majesty's orders to monitor the Prince of Han's every move.
When they saw the alchemical cauldrons that the King of Han had bought, they were all stunned.
"These are alchemy cauldrons?" a guard in the Imperial Guard exclaimed, slightly shocked. "His Highness the Prince of Han, he actually bought several alchemy cauldrons?"
"How is this possible? When did His Highness Prince Haohan become so obsessed with alchemy?"
For a moment, these Imperial Guards were completely dumbfounded.
"Sir, what should we do next?" asked one of the Imperial Guards.
The head of the Imperial Guard said, "What else can we do? Quickly inform the Commander and report it immediately!"
"yes!"
Seeing this, the Imperial Guards began to take action.
…………
Inside the Fengtian Hall, Ji Gang relayed all the news brought by the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di.
"What?"
"This kid, he left the Prince of Han's residence just to buy a few alchemy cauldrons?" Zhu Di's face was full of astonishment.
He thought he had misheard.
Ji Gang truthfully replied, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true; our men witnessed it with their own eyes."
"The people from that shop have already sent someone to deliver these alchemy cauldrons to the Prince of Han's residence."
"What is this rebellious son doing?!"
Zhu Di's expression changed; this was not a good thing for him.
Zhu Di paced back and forth inside the Fengtian Hall.
Ji Gang stood aside, not daring to utter a single word.
After a long time, Zhu Di seemed to have figured something out.
"I've figured it out."
"The reason this kid did this is probably because he's angry with me."
Zhu Di said with a grim face, "I forbade him to go to Yunnan, yet he dares to be so negligent in his duties?"
"He's buying several more alchemy cauldrons. What's he planning to do?"
"You also want to study alchemy and remedies?"
"That damned brat, that rebellious son, he's determined to go against me!!"
