Chapter 27 Zhu Gaoxu's acting skills were so impressive that I almost couldn't keep up wit
As Zhu Di traveled, many people greeted him.
These people had truly witnessed the Han King's youthful appearance, and at this moment, they felt more awe and reverence for him.
Because they really do have the skills.
Zhu Gaoxu ignored him and walked step by step to the Fengtian Hall.
From afar, he could see Zhu Di waiting for him there.
"Your subject Zhu Gaoxu greets Your Majesty!"
After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he prepared to perform a grand ceremony.
"No need, no need!"
Zhu Di stepped forward and personally helped Zhu Gaoxu, this great hero of the Ming Dynasty!
"Come, let me take a good look at you."
Zhu Di looked Zhu Gaoxu up and down, and the way he looked at him made Zhu Gaoxu's heart skip a beat.
No, Dad, please don't look at me like that. I'm scared if you look at me like that!
Zhu Di said, "Second Prince, you seem to have lost weight these past few days!"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "Father, it's not that I've lost weight, it's the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill. It not only made me younger, but also made me lose a lot of weight."
Zhu Di's eyes burned with fervor as he asked, "So, my son, have you successfully refined this Rejuvenation Pill?"
After saying that, he stared intently at Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu felt a little numb because his father's gaze was as if he were looking at an unparalleled beauty, making his scalp tingle.
"Father, I expended a great deal of energy this time in refining the pills."
"I suffered so much so that my father could take this Rejuvenation Pill!"
As Zhu Gaoxu spoke, he began to unleash his acting skills at an all-out performance!
He recounted the arduous process of alchemy.
As he spoke, he almost spat on Zhu Di's face.
Zhu Di's lips twitched. Why didn't he believe what this kid said?
"Father, to tell you the truth, I almost couldn't hold on any longer while refining the elixir," Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Hmm?" Zhu Di's eyelids twitched. "Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over something as simple as refining an elixir?"
Zhu Gaoxu sighed, his face filled with melancholy.
"Father, you don't know how much more difficult alchemy is than military campaigns. Your son guards the alchemy cauldron day and night, and dares not leave it for even a moment."
"And if the timing and temperature are missed even by a fraction, the proportions of the medicinal ingredients will be significantly different, and then we might have to abandon the project halfway through!"
Zhu Di also said with concern, "Second Prince, you've suffered these past few days."
He reached out his hand, wanting to ask for the Rejuvenation Pill, but Zhu Gaoxu continued to play the victim, saying, "Father, you have no idea how bitter this is."
"Your son has worked tirelessly to refine this Rejuvenation Pill for you, guarding the cauldron day and night, unable to sleep, for fear that the pill might be slightly off and cause the process to be abandoned halfway."
"Although this alchemy process only lasted five days, those five days, though seemingly short, were an unbearable ordeal for me."
"After several failed attempts to form the elixir, I was exhausted and almost couldn't go on."
Zhu Gaoxu looked extremely haggard as he spoke.
Seeing his son in such a state, Zhu Di felt terrible.
He patted his son's shoulder heavily, his voice full of remorse.
"Good son, good son!"
Zhu Gaoxu wiped away his tears.
Zhu Gaoxu said, "Then this Return to Origin..."
Zhu Gaoxu immediately clung to Zhu Di's leg and continued to play the victim: "Father, you know your son. This time, I dared not be negligent in refining the elixir. However, this Rejuvenation Pill is, after all, a pill that defies the heavens and changes one's fate. I almost couldn't hold on several times."
"Your Majesty, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to alchemy, but I have been repeatedly thwarted. I am filled with grievances and have nowhere to confide in. I can only tell you the truth, Father, just how difficult my alchemy process has been!"
Fortunately, the Princess Consort of Han was not here. If he were here, he would have vomited blood long ago upon hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words.
Man, your acting is amazing!
If I am not by your side during this time,
"My good son, my good son!" Zhu Di said with heartache, "Second son, you've really suffered these past few days!"
"Father, I..." Zhu Gaoxu still wanted to play the victim.
At this moment, Zhu Di couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly said, "Stop! Stop right there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his words seemed to have frightened Zhu Gaoxu.
"Second brother, have you finished refining the Rejuvenation Pill?"
"I have fulfilled my mission!"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "This time, your son spent several days refining a Rejuvenation Pill."
"This elixir is offered to you, Father Emperor."
"Good, good son!"
Zhu Di was incredibly excited.
He glanced at the King of Han.
The King of Han also glanced at him.
Zhu Di: ? ? ? ?
Zhu Di couldn't hold back any longer: "No, where are the pills? Where are the Rejuvenation Pills? Is he going to take them out?"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile. He was overjoyed to see his father like this.
Without saying a word, he reached into his pocket and began searching for the Rejuvenation Pill.
This process was extremely agonizing for Zhu Di.
These past few days, he's been eagerly awaiting Zhu Gaoxu's Rejuvenation Pill.
Now that he sees this kid finally refining the Rejuvenation Pill, how could the Yongle Emperor not be excited?
Once Zhu Di took this elixir, he would be able to regain his youth.
He is now over fifty years old. If he were to take the Rejuvenation Pill at this time, he could regain his youth and then he would be able to do many things.
When Zhu Gaoxu took out the Rejuvenation Pill, Zhu Di stared intently at it!
"Father, this is the Rejuvenation Pill," Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
Zhu Di took it with one hand, his eyes fixed on the Rejuvenation Pill.
"Father, please take it. After taking it, you will be able to regain your youth and be more than ten years younger, just like me." Zhu Gaoxu smiled.
"You little brat!"
Zhu Di smiled faintly, and without any hesitation, he began to take the medicine.
He believed in Zhu Gaoxu's abilities. The fact that this young man and his wife could rejuvenate and look more than ten years younger proved that the elixirs Zhu Gaoxu concocted were indeed very effective.
Not long after Zhu Di took the pill, he felt refreshed and had inexhaustible energy.
He even looks younger.
"It's done!"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Congratulations, Father! You look more than ten years younger this time."
Zhu Di was incredibly excited, and he even took out a mirror and started looking at himself.
He looks so much younger in the mirror now, and seeing this scene feels like a lifetime ago.
"If your mother were still alive back then, and had taken the elixir you gave her, she probably wouldn't have passed away so early." Zhu Di still missed Xu Miaoyun very much.
