My father is Yongle, and all I want is to cultivate immortality.

Chapter 33 What Father Emperor? From now on, I'll only call you Your Majesty!

Zhu Gaoxu was still looking forward to it, but he was also very worried. If his good elder brother sided with these officials and blocked him from taking up his fief, then he would probably be finished.

Zhu Gaochi said, "Father, I...I..."

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "Say that there are no outsiders here."

Zhu Gaochi said, "Father, I think that my second brother's personality is still too impatient. Moreover, in the capital, with Father's guidance and my supervision, he can focus on refining pills without any problems."

"If he goes to Yunnan, far from the emperor's reach, and becomes lonely and neglects his alchemy skills, it would be a great loss to the Ming Dynasty."

Holy crap, this boss is messing with me!

Zhu Gaoxu felt a surge of anger.

Fine, since that's what you all think, then I'll stay in the capital, but I won't give you a single pill!

Zhu Gaoxu finally understood that today's morning court session, ostensibly to discuss his enfeoffment, was actually a pretext to prevent him from leaving the capital.

Okay, since you guys like playing so much, I'll play with you!

Since he couldn't go to Yunnan, he decided not to go for the time being, but he also decided that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

She doesn't want to reveal her identity as a cultivator unless absolutely necessary, but she can use the matter of the elixirs to exact revenge on the emperor and the crown prince.

Before Zhu Gaoxu could speak, Yang Rong stepped forward.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. The Prince of Han has now mastered the art of alchemy. This is not only a blessing for His Majesty, but also a great fortune for the Ming Dynasty."

"If His Highness the Prince of Han really leaves the capital, we will still feel a void in our hearts."

"I hope Your Majesty will make a decision and not allow the Prince of Han to go to his fief."

We second that proposal!

Immediately, these people began to speak.

Zhu Gaoxu saw this and was surprisingly calm at that moment.

Fine, since you want to play, then I'll play with you!

If I can't go to my fiefdom, then I'll just stay in the capital and stir up trouble!

Zhu Di pointed at his ministers: "You...you lot..."

Zhu Di feigned helplessness.

He also looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who had remained silent.

"Second brother, what do you say?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "I have nothing to say."

Zhu Di: ...

"You saw what happened this time. It wasn't that I wouldn't let you leave, but that these ministers wouldn't let you leave. And they all said that you are the nation's most precious treasure."

Everyone agreed with this statement.

They all nodded.

"Since you all have said so, then I cannot send you to Yunnan to assume your fiefdom."

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to let me go to my fiefdom?"

His address of "Your Majesty" left Zhu Di with a sour feeling.

However, he didn't think too much about it and simply said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Your subject understands."

Zhu Di said, "Speak properly."

"I'll speak properly from now on!"

"you……"

Zhu Di was angered by his words.

"By my decree, Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han is hereby ordered to postpone his journey to his fief and remain in the capital."

"Court adjourned!"

After saying this, Zhu Di ignored everyone and walked out of the Fengtian Hall step by step.

Only the court officials, Crown Prince Zhao, and Zhu Gaochi's entourage were present.

"Second brother, we're doing this for your own good. After all, we'll miss you if you go to Yunnan," Zhu Gaochi said.

Zhu Gaosui spoke up: "Yes, Second Brother, you will always be my Second Brother. What will I do if you go to Yunnan?"

Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "I think you're after my pills, aren't you? Don't think I don't know!"

"Second brother, how could you do this? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Zhu Gaochi scolded.

"That's right, Second Brother, don't get the wrong idea about us!" Zhu Gaosui corrected him, "We're not that kind of people!"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Alright then, I don't need to give you the Rejuvenation Pill."

"Ah...this..." Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui were both dumbfounded.

Zhu Gaoxu left in a huff.

"Second brother, you can't do this! We had an agreement!"

"Yes, my dear second brother, you promised us these pills."

The two brothers were both furious.

They all chased after them, leaving behind only the civil and military officials looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhu Gaoxu walked towards the Prince of Han's residence without uttering a single word.

When he reached the door, the Princess of Han was there to greet him.

"Your Highness, how did things go? Has Father Emperor agreed to let you go to Yunnan to assume your fiefdom?" asked the Princess Consort of Han.

"If they really agree, that would be great," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Let's go inside and talk."

After the couple entered the Prince of Han's residence, the gate was closed tightly.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the Imperial Guards crouching in the corner, and the more he looked, the more displeased he became.

"roll!"

"Get out of my sight, all of you!"

"If I see you squatting here again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhu Gaochi's roar startled even the Princess Consort of Han, who was standing beside him.

This was the first time she had ever seen her husband so angry.

Princess Han's heart sank, because she had already guessed that her chances of going to her fiefdom this time were probably gone.

The Imperial Guards had not expected the Prince of Han to be so angry.

They quickly reassured him, "Your Highness, we are only acting under orders. If we were to truly retreat, I'm afraid His Majesty..."

"What can His Majesty do?" Zhu Gaochi roared, "You won't retreat, is that it?"

The Imperial Guards looked troubled, and it was clear from their expressions that they had no intention of backing down.

"OK!"

Zhu Gaoxu rushed over.

Princess Han pulled Zhu Gaoxu back, telling him not to act impulsively.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

The Princess Consort of Han felt even more uneasy.

But the next moment, she was dumbfounded.

Not only was Zhu Gaosui dumbfounded, but even the Embroidered Uniform Guards were dumbfounded.

Because they heard Zhu Gaochi begin to berate them.

Zhu Gaoxu's insults were extremely harsh, and he continued hurling them for an entire hour.

The insults were incredibly harsh for an hour, and the Imperial Guards finally couldn't take it anymore and all of them withdrew.

The Princess Consort of Han stared in disbelief.

She also looked at the Prince of Han, who was cursing loudly.

"My lord, what... what happened to you?" The Princess Consort of Han was very distressed.

"What kind of stimulation could he possibly be subjected to?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"You don't know, His Majesty summoned me to the morning court today, but it was actually a play put on for me by the officials, just to prevent me from going to Yunnan."

Zhu Gaoxu recounted the whole story.

"How could Father Emperor do this?" Princess Consort of Han opened her mouth.

"What 'Father Emperor'? From now on, just call me 'Your Majesty'!" Zhu Gaochi roared.

"He won't let me go to Yunnan to take up my fiefdom? Fine, then I won't go!"

"I'll stay in the capital!"

"Huh?" The Princess of Han opened her mouth, "No, my husband, are you serious?"

"Of course," Zhu Gaoxu said. "If this old man wants to play, I'll play along with him!"
