Chapter 58 Adorned in a Python Robe? Zhu Di Laughed in Anger!
"Regret?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Di shook his head: "I told you, I have no regrets whatsoever."
"Really?" Yao Guangxiao said, "Then, if this Prince of Han were to refine an elixir of immortality, would you regret it?"
hiss!
Inside Jiming Temple, all was quiet!
Zhu Di's pupils contracted; how could he not have thought of this?
"You...you mean the elixir of immortality?" Zhu Di swallowed hard.
My goodness, that's an elixir of immortality!
This elixir of immortality, once consumed, grants eternal life!
If he ate the elixir of immortality, he would live forever!
Throughout history, countless emperors have been obsessed with the elixir of immortality, because they knew that as long as they consumed the elixir, they could live forever!
He never expected that Yao Guangxiao would say that Zhu Gaoxu could refine the elixir of immortality.
Yao Guangxiao said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so agitated. This is just my guess."
"Although it's just speculation, I have a feeling that this Prince Han might actually be able to refine an elixir of immortality!"
Zhu Di's pupils contracted, and he asked urgently, "How did you figure that out?"
"It's very simple!"
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Since he can even refine such a miraculous pill as the Rejuvenation Pill, then can't he also refine the Longevity Pill?"
"Or rather, he is the only person who could possibly refine this elixir."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di fell silent for a moment.
He was unable to utter a single word, but undeniably, what Yao Guangxiao said made a lot of sense.
Ji Gang hurried over.
"His Majesty!"
"Speak, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Zhu Di said. "Could it be that the Second Prince has changed his mind and is no longer regent?"
"That's not it."
Ji Gang quickly said, "Our men discovered that His Highness the Prince of Han sent his men to the Imperial Wardrobe."
"Huh?" Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were both taken aback.
"Why would he send someone to the Imperial Wardrobe for no reason?"
Ji Gang said, "It seems they're having someone make a... python robe for His Highness the Prince of Han!"
Zhu Di asked with a strange expression, "Is this what the second son means?"
"Your Majesty, our people are keeping a close watch, and the Imperial Wardrobe has already begun processing the goods overnight," Ji Gang replied.
"Good, good!" Zhu Di laughed angrily, "This kid's got some skills."
"Old monk, did you see that? I appointed him to oversee the country, and he even had a python robe prepared for him?"
"This is terrible, absolutely terrible!"
Yao Guangxiao smiled but remained silent.
"Why doesn't the eldest son, who is overseeing the country, make such a grand show of it?" Zhu Di complained. "He's just showing off, he's just being ostentatious!!"
Ji Gang asked cautiously, "Then, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Let him do whatever he wants." Zhu Di thought for a moment and said, "As long as he does a good job as regent and makes up for the money used for the war, let him do whatever he wants."
"yes!"
Ji Gang silently withdrew.
"Isn't Your Majesty worried?" Yao Guangxiao suddenly asked.
"What am I worried about?" Zhu Di looked at him.
"Isn't Your Majesty afraid that he will use this regency as an excuse to make a big fuss?" Yao Guangxiao asked.
"Old monk, you're stirring up trouble," Zhu Di said. "Even if I and the second prince have fallen out, he wouldn't betray me, would he?"

In the courtyard of the East Palace.
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!" The Crown Princess burst in, shouting.
"My dear consort, what's wrong with you? Did you choke on a chicken bone?" Zhu Gaochi glared at the Crown Princess with annoyance.
"You don't know?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned: "What do I know?"
"Isn't the second prince supposed to oversee the country tomorrow?" the Crown Princess said. "He actually sent someone to the Imperial Wardrobe to have a python robe made overnight."
"He's already so flamboyant before even assuming the reins of government; what will he be like later?"
"Haha, so that's what my beloved concubine wanted to talk about." Zhu Gaochi laughed dismissively. "I told you you have nothing better to do, and you really do."
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Zhu Gaochi patiently said, "No matter what the second son does, we shouldn't get involved."
"Even the old man hasn't said anything, why are you, the Crown Princess, getting so agitated?"
The Crown Princess was left speechless after being rebuked.
"But...but I'm very worried. What if the second prince becomes regent and does a good job? What will happen to our family if he becomes crown prince?"
Zhu Zhanji came out of the room; he had also heard what the Crown Princess had said.
"Yes, Father, what should we do?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly.
"Don't panic."
He only said two words.
…………
Inside the Prince of Han's Palace.
"Achoo!"
Zhu Gaoxu was drinking tea in the courtyard when he suddenly sneezed.
"What's going on?" Zhu Gaoxu asked. "Who's talking badly about me?"
"My lord, are you too tired?" asked the Princess Consort of Han.
"Yes, if you put it that way, that's possible." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Princess Consort of Han said, "But my husband, I am still very worried. After all, you sent someone to the Imperial Wardrobe to make a python robe. If this gets back to His Majesty's ears..."
"No need to worry," Zhu Gaoxu said. "I guess that old man already knows, but he hasn't made a move yet. What does that mean?"
"This means that he tacitly approved of it."
"You don't need to worry. Tonight, just make sure I'm comfortable. That's the important thing."
"Oh dear, how annoying!" the Princess Consort of Han said shyly, "We've been married for so long, how can you still be so improper?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After one night.
By the time the sun rose the next day, Zhu Gaoxu had already received the python robe.
"Your Highness, this python robe is brand new. It's almost as good as His Majesty's dragon robe," Huangfu Yun said.
He ordered his men to bring up the python robe.
"Really?" Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it, touched it a few times, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"Excellent, excellent!"
"This python robe is well made; you've worked hard."
Huangfu Yun was flattered and said, "This is what I should do."
"Alright, I know how you've done things," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Go and collect your reward."
"Yes, yes!" Huangfu Yun nodded and left.
"My beloved concubine, help me change my clothes!"
"Yes!" Princess Han nodded.
Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu put on the python robe.
The Princess Consort of Han was stunned for a moment.
"How is it?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile.
"Indeed, my husband looks truly magnificent in that python robe," the Princess of Han couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's right."
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Now all the officials are probably waiting outside the main hall. I'll go first."
After saying this, he ordered someone to take him to the Fengtian Hall.
Not only that, he even sat on the imperial dragon carriage used by the emperor.
He even commissioned the creation of a gold medal.
There were only four words written on the gold medal.
He was appointed regent!
This reminded him of the TV series "Ming Dynasty," in which the Prince of Han did the same thing.
This time, however, his intention was to infuriate Zhu Di, not to recklessly court death like in the drama "Ming Dynasty".
