Chapter 51 One beauty pill costs two silver coins?
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, if you wish to take this powerful pill, it wouldn't be difficult. For example, you could try it out here with me for a while?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"You little rascal!"
Seeing this, Zhu Di's face darkened. He knew what the boy was thinking just by looking at him like this.
These past few days, Zhu Zhanji has been driven to the brink of death by his second uncle, and he knows all about it perfectly well.
If he had stayed in the Prince of Han's mansion at this time and actually helped the second prince test the pills, he would probably have lost ten percent of his health.
Because this kid is up to no good.
"Father!"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui rushed over in a hurry.
When they saw Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi chatting and laughing, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!
Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
As the eldest brother, he has it the hardest.
He was afraid that if the emperor and the second son got into a fight, things would get out of control, and outsiders would have a laugh at them.
"Eldest brother, third brother, you've come at the right time!" Zhu Di's eyes lit up; he had a plan.
He took his two sons and walked to Zhu Gaoxu's side.
"Second brother, didn't you want to find people to test your pills? How are they doing?"
"One is your eldest brother, and the other is your third brother."
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui: ? ? ?
No, old man, are you going to use us as test subjects for your second son's elixir?
They immediately chickened out!
Especially the third brother, he came along to mediate the fight, not to test the pills!
Even if the pills my second brother refines are good, the cost of testing them is just too high.
What if he doesn't catch his breath? Wouldn't all that effort have been for nothing?
Zhu Gaosui quickly said, "Father, Second Brother, I have matters to attend to at home, I must leave now!"
Without saying a word, Zhu Gaosui took off running.
"This kid runs really fast!" Zhu Di's lips twitched.
He glanced at Zhu Zhanji again.
"My eldest grandson, after much consideration, I've decided to entrust this matter of testing the elixir to you," Zhu Di said. "Don't disappoint your grandfather."
"I..." Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
"Alright, that's enough. This matter is decided!" Zhu Di said. "Let's retreat!"
With that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Ah...this..."
Zhu Zhanji looked completely bewildered.
He then glanced at his father.
"Second brother, I'm entrusting my son to you."
"You handle this matter of testing the elixir!" Zhu Gaochi said and left, leaving Zhu Zhanji completely bewildered.
"I...I..." Zhu Zhanji didn't know what to say.
"Finally gone," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Nephew."
"Second Uncle, I...I'm here..." Zhu Zhanji quickly replied.
"You should go back too," Zhu Gaoxu said. "We don't need you today."
"But my grandfather and my father both said that I should go with you to test the elixir," Zhu Zhanji said.
"I'm busy today; these powerful pills aren't easy to make."
"If I really succeed in refining it, I will have you come and test the pill immediately," Zhu Gaoxu said.
Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright, if anything comes up, Second Uncle, just call me!"
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand casually, and after Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Gaoxu had the Princess Consort of Han close the gate of the Han Prince's residence.
"Husband, what's wrong?" The Princess Consort of Han was taken aback.
"Come on, let's go into the room first," Zhu Gaoxu said.
The Princess Consort of Han blushed deeply: "Husband, isn't this a bit inappropriate in broad daylight?"
Zhu Gaoxu: ? ? ?
"My dear consort, what are you thinking? I invited you into the room because of something else," Zhu Gaoxu said speechlessly.
Upon hearing this, the Princess Consort of Han became embarrassed on the spot.
She followed Zhu Gaoxu into the room.
Without saying a word, Zhu Gaoxu flicked his finger, and countless bottles of pills appeared on the table.
"Husband, did you refine all these pills?" Upon seeing this, the Princess of Han covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
"These pills are the beauty pills I told you about before," Zhu Gaoxu explained. "I've now refined a full one hundred!"
"Hiss!" The Princess Consort of Han gasped.
"This beauty pill, though not as good as the youth-preserving pill or the strength pill, is still incredibly potent for women," Zhu Gaoxu said. "This pill can make a person more beautiful after taking it. As for other effects, it doesn't have any, but even so, it's enough to drive the people of the capital crazy."
The Princess Consort of Han asked, "So, my husband wants to sell these elixirs?"
"As expected of my woman, you guessed right, this is exactly what I was thinking." Zhu Gaoxu smiled. "However, I don't have time to deal with this matter of selling pills, and since you are still a princess, you are even less likely to get involved."
The Queen Consort of Han asked, "My lord, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "To be honest, I did think of someone."
"Who is it?"
"Huangfu Yun".
"He is a man of my Han Prince's Mansion, and I am quite familiar with his abilities."
"It won't be a problem to get him to sell these pills."
Princess Han suddenly realized and said, "That's right, Huangfu Yun does have this skill. Letting him sell these pills is indeed the best choice."
At this point, the Princess Consort of Han asked curiously, "Husband, I'd like to know, how much do you plan to sell this beauty elixir for?"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I've already decided on the price."
"Ten taels of silver for one beauty pill."
"What?"
"Ten taels of silver for one beauty pill?" Princess Han's eyes widened. "That's too expensive!"
"Husband, are you sure you're not mistaken? You really intend to sell this pill for ten taels of silver?"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "That's right, exactly!"
"My God, why don't you just rob someone?!"
Princess Consort Han subconsciously said, "You want ten taels of silver for just one pill? Isn't that too expensive?"
"What if nobody buys it?"
She was still very worried.
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone loves beauty. This beauty pill can make women more beautiful. I believe that any decent woman can't resist this temptation."
Princess Han exclaimed excitedly, "If this beauty pill can really be sold, won't we be rich?"
One beauty pill costs ten taels of silver. So how much money would you make if you sold all one hundred beauty pills?
I can't even imagine!
"Right now, arrange for Huangfu Yun to take over a shop and sell these beauty pills. I guarantee it will be profitable," Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements right now!" Princess Han nodded slightly and turned to call Huangfu Yun.
The Princess Consort of Han told him everything about the Beauty Elixir.
Huangfu Yun was shocked. He stared at the ten bottles of pills in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, is this so-called beauty pill really going to cost ten taels of silver per pill?" Huangfu Yun asked.
"This is the Prince's order, just do as he says!" said the Princess Consort of Han.
"Yes!" Huangfu Yun nodded.
He knew that the prince was making a fortune in silence.
