Chapter 21 The Prince of Han Becomes a Hot Commodity, Zhu Di Selects an Elixir Cauldron for the Prin
Zhu Gaosui said, "So, in that case, the second son's path will far surpass ours?"
"I suppose so. His future path will be even longer than ours." Zhu Gaochi sighed. "He can refine such pills. Third brother, tell me, will he be able to refine the legendary elixir of immortality in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui covered his mouth, his face filled with shock: "Brother, this can't be?!"
Zhu Gaochi said, "Before, when he was refining pills, we didn't have high hopes either, but what about now?"
"Hasn't he already refined such a miraculous elixir?"
Zhu Gaosui became slightly excited.
"So, according to you, as long as we keep in touch with the second brother, can't we also get this so-called Rejuvenation Pill?" Zhu Gaosui said excitedly.
Zhu Gaochi was also extremely tempted; this was a Rejuvenation Pill!
If he were to take this pill at his age, wouldn't that mean he could become more than ten years younger?
This crown prince was originally frail and sickly. Although the imperial physicians had been trying to improve his health, only he himself knew the true extent of his illness.
If he were to obtain a Rejuvenation Pill at this moment, wouldn't he be able to become younger, and wouldn't his illness also improve?
"Sigh..." Zhu Gaochi said, "That's hard to say. It seems we have to take it one step at a time!"
…………
The news of the Prince of Han and his consort spread quickly, causing a sensation throughout the court and the capital.
Because the effects of this Rejuvenation Pill were simply too amazing for them.
"Is the elixir that His Highness the Prince of Han concocted genuine? Does this Rejuvenation Pill truly possess such efficacy?"
"It's hard to say, hard to say, but I've heard that some people have seen the Princess Consort of Han and His Highness the Prince of Han, and they do indeed look younger!"
"Wow, my God! If that's true, that's incredible!"
"If His Highness the Prince of Han can truly refine such a divine elixir, he would be nothing short of a grandmaster of alchemy!"
"Yes, it really makes us envious!"
"..."
Throughout the capital, everyone was talking about it.
In the past few days, the gate of the Prince of Han's mansion has been crowded with people, all of whom want to see Zhu Gaoxu.
However, the Princess of Han refused to let these people in.
The appearance of the Princess Consort of Han excited everyone even more!
This concubine of His Highness the Prince of Han looks much younger!
This made them even more certain that this Prince Han was truly formidable!
No one would doubt the authenticity of the Rejuvenation Pill he had refined.
They all believed that His Highness the Prince of Han had truly concocted such a miraculous elixir…
…………
Inside the Prince of Han's Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu was sitting in the courtyard, and not only that, but he was also receiving countless gifts from people.
These people sent over everything in order to get a glimpse of the King of Han.
Zhu Gaochi was truly remarkable; he accepted everything offered by every official without hesitation.
But he refused to see anyone.
"Husband, really, you've accepted all these gifts, why don't you even see them?" Princess Consort of Han came over and personally poured Zhu Gaoxu a cup of tea.
"These gifts were given voluntarily by them, not forced upon them by me," Zhu Gaochi said with a smile as he sipped his tea. "They came to see me simply to see if I, the Prince of Han, have truly become younger."
The Princess Consort of Han said, "So you're just going to hide and avoid seeing me?"
"My beloved concubine has become more beautiful now. You have already met these people. When they see you, they will naturally be able to determine the authenticity of my Rejuvenation Pill."
"And they have another purpose," Zhu Gaoxu said.
The Princess Consort of Han asked疑惑地, "My husband, tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"
"They also want this Rejuvenation Pill."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly: "My beloved concubine, let me ask you, with such tempting elixirs, how could they not want them?"
"Even if you don't want it, just getting connected with me makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?"
As he finished speaking, the Princess Consort of Han smiled and said, "Your Highness is indeed Your Highness; you guessed it in an instant."
She paused slightly at this point.
"But what if people still send gifts and visit us?"
Zhu Gaoxu scratched his beloved concubine's nose.
"My little fussiness, do I really need to teach you that?"
"I'll accept all the gifts, and then I'll disappear," Zhu Gaoxu said. "With you here, everything is enough."
Princess Han nodded obediently: "I will do whatever Your Highness says."
"Call me husband."
"My husband."
The Prince of Han is now highly sought after, with officials from all over the court trying to curry favor with him.
The members of the Han King's faction were overjoyed to learn that their master possessed such abilities.
…………
Jiming Temple was quiet in its courtyard.
Yao Guangxiao muttered to himself, "Does such a elixir truly exist in this world?"
"This Prince Han, he can actually refine such a pill?"
Is this true?
"Did he really do it?"
Yao Guangxiao kept muttering to himself, which surprised Zhu Di.
In his opinion, this was the first time he had ever seen Yao Guangxiao like this.
"Old monk, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Di asked, "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright." Yao Guangxiao let out a heavy sigh of relief. "I just didn't expect that this Prince Han would actually be a master alchemist, and that he could actually refine elixirs that restore youth."
"This...this is truly beyond my expectations!"
Zhu Di said, "Don't even mention you; wasn't I the same way back then?"
Just as they were talking, Ji Gang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, walked over.
"Your Majesty, the alchemy cauldron you requested has been prepared," Ji Gang said.
"How is the quality of this cauldron?" Zhu Di sneered. "My son's cauldron for refining elixirs must be the most perfect. If this cauldron is unusable, I will cut off your head."
Ji Gang said: Your Majesty, working under you is damn difficult!
However, Ji Gang outwardly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this time I have prepared five alchemy cauldrons, each of which is a top-grade furnace."
"Very good, I'm relieved to hear that." Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.
"This time, I will go with you to deliver the tripod."
He then looked at Yao Guangxiao and said, "Old monk, since you're free anyway, why don't you come with me to the Prince of Han's residence for a visit?"
Yao Guangxiao was taken aback at first, but in the end he did not refuse.
He also wanted to see the alchemy master, the King of Han, again.
Because he knew very well that he truly couldn't see through this Prince of Han.
Throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, the Prince of Han was undoubtedly the first person whom the Imperial Advisor Yao Guangxiao could not see through.
