Chapter 48 Zhu Zhanji says: Please, Uncle 2, keep tricking me!
In the quiet courtyard.
The wise and virtuous grandson Zhu Zhanji walked up to this water vat!
He knew that since his second uncle had asked him to do this, he would no longer hesitate.
Without saying a word, he stretched out his right hand and began to lift the water vat on the ground.
This water vat is very heavy, and it's filled with water; most people really can't lift it.
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
Zhu Zhanji actually lifted the water vat.
He used almost all his strength, and surprisingly, he lifted the water vat in one go.
"this……"
Zhu Zhanji and the others were dumbfounded.
"I...I really lifted it up?" Zhu Zhanji was greatly shocked!
This was something he never expected.
"My lord, he really lifted that water vat?" Princess Han was also shocked.
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "He took the pills I made, which are called the Great Strength Pills, so this mere water vat is no problem for him."
Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed.
"Second Uncle, is it really because of the pill just now?" Zhu Zhanji asked excitedly.
"That's natural," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Do you feel it's strenuous to lift this water vat?"
Zhu Zhanji said, "I'm not feeling particularly tired, but my stomach is a little upset."
"That's right." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile. "Put this water vat down."
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji quickly put the water vat down.
"Go back and rest. Your diarrhea will stop in a few days. This 'powerful pill' does have its benefits."
Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards who were lying in wait looked at each other, all of them utterly shocked.
Clearly, they witnessed what just happened.
"The mighty pill His Highness the Prince of Han mentioned... Could it be that the reason the Crown Prince lifted this water vat was because of this mighty pill?" a member of the Imperial Guard speculated.
"Very likely!!"
The Imperial Guards were equally shocked this time.
It seems that this Prince of Han is truly hiding his true abilities.
Otherwise, how could this be?
"Since you want to learn alchemy, then for the next while, you'll be doing odd jobs for me here," Zhu Gaoxu said, offering empty promises. "Alchemy isn't something you can learn overnight. Are you willing?"
"Second Uncle, I do!"
Having tasted the benefits, Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt that the grievances he had suffered yesterday and the side effects of the elixir test were all worthwhile.
"Alright then, I might have you try the pills again. Do you still dare to continue?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Zhu Zhanji firmly stated, "I'm willing to keep testing pills so that my second uncle can refine high-quality elixirs!"
"Second Uncle, come on!!"
Zhu Zhanji closed his eyes, having made up his mind.
Zhu Gaochi and the Princess of Han exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
For the rest of the day, Hao Shengsun spent testing the elixir.
He sometimes had diarrhea, and sometimes he rolled on the ground in pain, but he became more and more courageous and was not afraid at all!
It is my good fortune to be able to test the elixir for my second uncle!
Princess Han pulled Zhu Gaoxu aside, and when she saw Zhu Zhanji, who was on the verge of death, a look of heartache flashed across her face.
"Husband, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?" asked the Princess Consort of Han.
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. This kid is my nephew, I'm going to treat him well!"
"He tasted success today, and this matter will surely reach the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty. I estimate that in the next few days, without me saying anything, they will send this good grandson over for me to use."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly.
Nephew, it's not that your second uncle is trying to trick you, but rather that he's testing you!
Who told you to turn me into a clay pot chicken in the future?
Please don't hate me for doing this; I'm doing it for your own good!
This day was a nightmare for Zhu Zhanji; he was still somewhat afraid.
After Zhu Gaoxu gave him the "power pill," he had inexhaustible strength.
But precisely because of this, the side effects are too severe.
On this day, he served Zhu Gaoxu with utmost care and diligence.
He silently thought to himself: Please, Uncle, keep tricking me!
That evening, Zhu Zhanji returned to the Eastern Palace.
Upon his return, he couldn't wait to demonstrate his strength to his parents.
He ordered someone to place a cauldron weighing over 100 jin (approximately 50 kg) in front of him.
"Son, did something happen to you?" Zhang Yan asked.
Zhu Gaochi also spoke up: "Yes, this cauldron is no light thing. Do you think you're Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu? You think you can really lift it?"
They clearly didn't believe it.
They even wondered why Zhu Zhanji was so excited today.
"Father, Mother, just you wait and see."
Zhu Zhanji smiled, stomped his foot, and then placed both hands on the large cauldron.
"Get up!!"
Zhu Zhanji shouted loudly.
Boom!
With a muffled thud, Zhu Zhanji actually lifted the large cauldron.
Not only that, he couldn't help but fart.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Yan: ? ? ?
"How is this possible?" Zhu Gaochi exclaimed in shock, "Son, how did you do that?"
"Yes, this is incredible! You're like Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, reborn!" Zhang Yan covered her mouth, equally dumbfounded.
They ignored the fact that the grandson had farted, but were instead astonished by the strength with which he lifted the tripod.
"Son, put the cauldron down first." Zhu Gaochi said, "Father, I can't stand looking at it anymore."
Zhu Zhanji chuckled and put the cauldron down.
"What's going on? Tell us quickly." Zhang Yan picked up a stool, and the group sat together, all looking at Zhu Zhanji. They wanted to know what had happened.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji recounted in detail everything that had happened at the Prince of Han's residence that day to Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Yan. "This is terrible, absolutely terrible!" Zhu Gaochi exclaimed, "So, going to the Prince of Han's residence was the right thing to do!"
"It seems that this second brother isn't just making Rejuvenation Pills, he's making other kinds of pills too!"
The chubby man patted Zhu Zhanji on the shoulder and said excitedly, "You're going again tomorrow!"
"Absolutely!"
"My second uncle is so good to me, I definitely have to go!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded vigorously.
People from the palace have arrived.
As the emperor's personal eunuch, Little Snot always bowed to the crown prince's family.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess, and Your Highness the Crown Prince's Grandson."
Zhu Gaochi asked, "What is this?"
Little Snot said, "News has come from the palace that His Majesty wishes to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Hmm?" Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Yan both looked at Zhu Zhanji.
"It's probably because of what happened today." Zhu Gaochi knew exactly what had happened.
"Go on, child, but remember to come back soon."
Zhu Zhanji said, "Father, don't worry."
He and Little Snot went to Fengtian Hall.
…………
Inside the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di took a deep breath.
"What a remarkable Prince Han! He even possesses such elixirs?"
"I really underestimated him."
Zhu Di was very envious.
"First it was the Rejuvenation Pill, and now it's some kind of Power Pill. If I were to take this Power Pill, wouldn't I be just like Zhanji?" Zhu Di thought to himself, quite pleased with himself.
That was exactly the effect Zhu Gaoxu wanted.
He made it so that the old man could only look at it, but couldn't touch it or eat it.
