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

Chapter 53 Your Majesty, are you trying to rob me?!

"If it's true, then the beauty pill business is booming?"

"If one pill costs one hundred taels of silver, then selling one hundred pills would yield ten thousand taels of silver, wouldn't that?"

Zhu Di felt his breathing become rapid.

The Yongle Emperor could no longer speak fluently.

"This is going to be a huge windfall!"

"This is absolutely going to be a huge success!!"

What Zhu Di is most interested in right now is the money his second son earns!

He made a considerable amount of money this time.

"I need a lot of money for this expedition, and this kid is a lifesaver!"

"He's made so much money, it's all mine, it definitely is all mine!"

Ji Gang: ...

He realized that the Yongle Emperor wanted to rob Zhu Gaoxu of his wealth.

"Come on, you come with me to the Immortal Pill Residence."

"I'm going to see how much money this kid has made!" Zhu Di said.

"Yes, yes!" Ji Gang nodded hurriedly.

He also knew that Zhu Di was already eyeing the money.

Anyone would be confused by this!

After all, a single pill sells for one hundred taels of silver, so what about one hundred or two hundred?

Honestly, even Zhu Di didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhu Di and his entourage hurriedly arrived at Xiandan Residence.

But when they arrived, there was no one left at the Immortal Pill Residence.

"this……"

At this moment, Zhu Di was dumbfounded.

Where are they?

"Where are the people from the Immortal Pill Residence?"

Zhu Di was very confused, and he asked everyone he could find.

The man replied, "These pills are all sold out."

Zhu Di said, "Let's go to the Prince of Han's residence."

…………

Inside the Prince of Han's Palace.

Huangfu Yun handed over the account book and ten thousand taels of silver to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your Highness, here are all the accounts. Please take a look," Huangfu Yun said.

"very good!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's lips curled up slightly.

He knew that Zhu Di must have heard about this sale of elixirs.

"Alright, you can go now." Zhu Gaoxu dismissed Huangfu Yun.

"This is more than ten thousand taels of silver, my husband, we've struck it rich this time," said the Princess Consort of Han.

"Well, you could say that. He made a small fortune," Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

"Yes, if you continue refining it, wouldn't you be able to make a profit by selling these beauty pills?" said the Princess Consort of Han.

"I reckon it won't be as simple as one hundred taels of silver by then," Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

"Hiss!" Princess Han exclaimed, "You...you're going to raise the price again?"

"We'll see when the time comes," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Once these beauty pills are sold out, I'll have achieved my goal. As for the next wholesale sale, that depends on my mood."

Huangfu Yun rushed in.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and the Princess of Han exchanged a glance.

"It seems His Majesty has already received the message." Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly. "You all go out and deal with this for a moment, I'll be right out."

"good!"

Princess Han and Huangfu Yun both went outside.

But Zhu Gaoxu was the only one left here.

With a flick of his wrist, he stored all ten thousand taels of silver into his cultivation space.

Not only can he cultivate immortality in the cultivation space, but he can also put whatever he wants into it.

…………

Outside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Princess Han and Huangfu Yun spoke in unison.

"No need!"

Zhu Di's eyes darted around, as if he were looking for something.

"By the way, where is the second prince? Where is he?" Zhu Di suddenly asked.

"His Highness is not feeling well; he is resting in his room," Princess Consort of Han explained.

"Stop pretending," Zhu Di retorted. "With his physique, like an ox, what could possibly happen to him?"

It must be said that Zhu Di understood Zhu Gaoxu quite well.

He knew perfectly well that the kid was feeling pretty good right now.

After all, this time, he made a fortune by relying on elixirs!

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui arrived immediately.

"Father, you're here too?" Zhu Gaochi said hurriedly.

"What's wrong? What brought you here?" Zhu Di turned to look at them.

"this……"

The two men exchanged a glance, and finally Zhu Gaosui said with a smile, "We've heard that the second brother made a lot of money this time, so we came to take a look."

Click!

Zhu Gaoxu's door was suddenly opened.

He glanced around and saw Zhu Di, the eldest son, and the third son all outside the door.

"Why are you all here?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"You're something else, kid!"

Zhu Di said, "Tell me honestly, how much money did you make from selling the beauty pills this time?"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui were also keeping a close eye on their second son.

"You all know?" Zhu Gaoxu asked, feigning surprise.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Di rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Tell me quickly, how much money did you make this time?" Zhu Di asked.

"Not much, not much," Zhu Gaoxu said. "I only used my alchemy skills to refine low-grade pills and made a little money."

Zhu Di angrily said, "I ordered you to refine a power-enhancing pill, and what have you done? You've already refined some beauty pill! What do you mean by this?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "The Beauty Pill is the lowest grade of pill, so it's easy to make. But the Strength Pill is a high-difficulty pill, and it requires someone to test it, so it's not easy to refine."

"You little brat!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Tell me, how much money did we make this time?"

"Yeah, second brother, tell us why we don't want yours," Zhu Gaochi added.

"Are you sure you can vouch for it?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at him.

"I..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment.

"His money is definitely in the room," Zhu Di said, pointing behind Zhu Gaoxu.

"Go and search for it!" Zhu Di said to Ji Gang.

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Gaoxu asked in a panic.

hum!

Little brat, you've been exposed, haven't you?

Zhu Di seemed to have seen through everything.

"Why aren't you searching yet?!"

"Yes, yes!"

Ji Gang went to Zhu Gaoxu's room.

The Han princess standing nearby also became nervous upon hearing this.

"If you've made money, why don't you just admit it?" Zhu Di said with a smile.

"And then what? All this money will end up in your pocket?" Zhu Gaoxu asked rhetorically.

"You..." Zhu Di's lips twitched. He hadn't expected his second son to ask such a question.

"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you are my son."

"Moreover, I am about to launch my second northern expedition. As my son, will you not share my burdens?" Zhu Di said.

"I'm not the Crown Prince!" Zhu Gaoxu said. "The eldest son is the Crown Prince. If you need someone to share your burdens, go ask the eldest son!"

Zhu Gaochi: ...

He thought to himself, "Wow!"

He came here this time just to watch the drama unfold.

But now, it seems like this mess is about to happen to us?

"Found it!"

Ji Gang's voice came from inside the room.

Zhu Di exclaimed with elation, "Bring it out! Let me see how much money this kid has made!"

Zhu Gaochi said, "Your Majesty, this is robbery!"

"So what?" Zhu Di said, "You are my son, how can this be considered robbery?"
