Chapter 45 Zhu Zhanji cried as he complained, "My second uncle is going too far!"
Zhu Gaoxu was speaking with great enthusiasm, but Zhu Zhanji was quite speechless.
No matter what, he was a good grandson of the Ming Dynasty, while Zhu Gaochi's words sounded like empty promises, making people feel very uneasy.
"Um, Uncle, do we really want to continue with this pill-testing?" Zhu Zhanji had already given up.
That pill just now almost killed him!
If things continue like this at this point, he's afraid he won't be able to hold on.
After all, no matter what, he always felt that it was his second uncle who seemed to be setting him up.
"Nephew, don't overthink it. If this elixir is successfully tested, you will be the greatest contributor to the Ming Dynasty."
"This Vajra Strength Pill will make you incredibly strong. Your second uncle isn't lying to you," Zhu Gaoxu said earnestly.
Zhu Zhanji's lips twitched.
"But Second Uncle, I want to try the Rejuvenation Pill."
"It can make people regain their youth and look more than ten years younger," Zhu Zhanji said.
"What good will it do you, kid?" Zhu Gaoxu retorted. "You haven't even grown all your hair yet. If you take the Rejuvenation Pill and become more than ten years younger, how young would you be?"
Zhu Zhanji was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
Zhu Gaoxu held the Vajra Power Pill in his hand.
"Listen to your second uncle, take this pill, and let me see its effects," Zhu Gaoxu said.
Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment, but his second uncle's eyes were too firm, so he had no choice but to take it.
Without saying a word, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the pill.
Zhu Zhanji was now resigned to his fate.
Time passed quickly, and Zhu Zhanji felt very hot all over.
"How is it?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
"Second Uncle, I feel very hot all over, and I have inexhaustible energy," Zhu Zhanji said.
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right." Zhu Gaoxu grabbed Zhu Zhanji and rushed out of the room.
He pointed to the stone table in front of him.
"Now you are incredibly strong, and you have inexhaustible power. You will know how powerful you are when you strike with your palm."
Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed!
If it's true, then he really did take the right pill.
"Alright, Second Uncle, I'll give it a try!"
Ignoring the feverish sensation, Zhu Zhanji slapped him on the spot.
Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out as Zhu Zhanji slammed his palm on the stone table. Instead of shattering the table, his own hand was jolted and ached terribly.
"Second Uncle, my hand hurts so much, it hurts so much!" Zhu Zhanji cried out. "Isn't this Vajra Strength Pill supposed to make me incredibly strong? Why didn't I smash this stone table?"
"oops!"
Zhu Gaoxu patted his head: "Look at your second uncle's memory. It seems that the potency of this 'powerful pill' is still too weak."
"How about this? I have five or six more Strength Pills here. Why don't you give it another try?"
"No, no, no!!"
Zhu Zhanji shuddered; this time, he was truly terrified.
He realized that his second uncle was setting him up.
"You...you..." Zhu Zhanji pointed at his second uncle, but his whole body was burning hot.
Damn it, the pills my second uncle gave me, could they be aphrodisiacs?!
Thinking about this, he was truly afraid.
"Come on, my dear nephew, give it another try!!"
Zhu Gaoxu flashed his bright white teeth and walked over with a wicked look on his face.
Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that he trembled.
He suddenly saw a water vat.
Snapped!
He jumped in right there!
After all, the evil fire within him was simply too great.
He strongly suspected that the pills his second uncle had given him to try were aphrodisiacs.
Zhu Zhanji, who had fallen into the water vat, felt a sense of comfort.
But he was furious!
Second Uncle, you son of a bitch, you've gone too far!
Zhu Gaoxu saw this and sneered inwardly.
This water tank is considered light.
If history had unfolded as it should, his nephew would have ended up in a fire pit himself, turning into a clay pot chicken!
This time, Zhu Zhanji's embarrassing performance served as a way of venting his resentment.
"Nephew, how are you feeling?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile.
Zhu Zhanji was pale as he climbed out of the water vat.
He looked at Zhu Gaoxu with horror.
Finally, his expression turned to anger.
"Second Uncle, you've gone too far! You've gone too far!!" Zhu Zhanji said through gritted teeth, "You deliberately framed me, didn't you?"
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him indifferently.
The Princess Consort of Han also came over.
"My lord, this nephew is still not convinced!"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "If you're not convinced, it's simple. Bring out all the pills I've refined, and I'll feed them to this nephew one by one!"
Holy shit! !
Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that his anus tightened; he was completely terrified.
He didn't expect his second uncle to be serious!
Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that he turned and ran!
He slunk out of the Prince of Han's mansion.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Gaochi laughed wildly, and even the Imperial Guards who were lying in wait were terrified.
"Husband, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?" Princess Han asked worriedly. "No matter what, he is still the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. What if he complains about what you're doing?"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "So what?"
"I am not afraid of him, nor am I afraid of the emperor."
"Even if the old man really turns against me, I'm not afraid!"
After saying that, he stared at the Imperial Guards who were lying in wait with his dark eyes.
The Imperial Guards were too frightened to utter a sound.
This Prince Han is truly terrifying.
…………
Zhu Zhanji left the Prince of Han's residence and ran towards the Fengtian Hall, crying.
This was the first time anyone had ever seen their beloved grandson in such a disheveled state.
"Grandfather, I, I..." Zhu Zhanji's tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Grandson, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Di was also startled by Zhu Zhanji's appearance.
He never expected Zhu Zhanji to be like this.
"Grandpa, my second uncle has gone too far! He's gone too far!!"
Zhu Di looked completely bewildered: ? ? ? ?
"Didn't you say your second uncle taught you alchemy? How come you're going too far like this again?"
"Here's what happened."
Zhu Zhanji wept as he recounted the whole story, including how Zhu Gaoxu used him as a test subject for medicine.
"Is this all?" Zhu Di frowned, seemingly somewhat displeased.
"Yes, Grandfather, you must stand up for me!"
"My second uncle doesn't treat me like a human being. He's tricked me with medicine time and time again. He's almost driven me to my death." Zhu Zhanji grabbed Zhu Di's hand and began to play the victim.
Zhu Di stroked his beard and paced back and forth in the main hall.
"This is a good thing!"
"If he's willing to give you pills, then he doesn't consider you an outsider."
Zhu Di's words stunned Zhu Zhanji.
"He had you test the elixir today, so maybe he'll teach you how to refine it tomorrow." Zhu Di said, "My grandson, this is a good thing!"
Holy crap?!
Zhu Zhanji's mind went blank.
