Zhu Biao Can't Escape His Fate, The Next Calamity Will Be The King's Turn!
Looking at Zhu Biao's current complexion, Geng Qing felt extremely regretful!
A few months ago, when he first met the Crown Prince in Hanzhong Prefecture, he was still in a high-spirited state. He did not expect that in just a few months, he would become so sick!
What a pity!
Such a benevolent Crown Prince was still pleading for mercy for an insignificant person like him at this time!
If he could take the pill given by the King of Han, he might really be able to live for another two years!
Unfortunately…
"Your humble servant thanks Your Highness!"
Geng Qing knelt down. It could be said that Zhu Biao had saved his life today.
"You don't have to thank me. You're innocent!”
"When you go back, thank Ninth Brother for his good intentions. Tell Ninth Brother to manage his fief well and listen to Father's will to get married.”
"We…we might not be able to protect him anymore in the future!”
Zhu Biao squeezed out a smile and warned Geng Qing seriously.
"Your Highness, don't worry. This lowly official will definitely pass on the message!”
Geng Qing nodded heavily, his eyes filled with emotion!
What a kind prince, but unfortunately, his life was short!
"Geng Qianhu, let's go!"
At this moment, Wang Chen stepped forward and pulled Geng Qing up, indicating for him to leave quickly!
Zhu Yuanzhang was still in a fit of anger. If he changed his mind after leaving, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to!
"Your Highness, take care. This lowly subject will take his leave!”
Geng Qing had no choice but to nod and leave!
Whether it was him or Zhu Li, they could only do their best and leave it to fate. Anyway, they had already done what they could. It was good that they had a clear conscience!
Fortunately, Zhu Biao's complexion had improved significantly after smelling the extremely smelly medicine. Everyone present could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's face, which was gradually turning red, and his anger dissipated.
The imperial physicians present also felt like they had survived a disaster. At least they could keep their heads tonight!
On the other hand, the other officials present, including Lan Yu and the other generals, were still brooding over the matter of the Han King Zhu Li offering the so-called life-saving pill!
It was obvious that this matter would become the main topic of discussion for these officials in the next few days!
……
Hanzhong Prefecture.
In the orchard that Zhu Li had specially cultivated, many green watermelon vines had already grown!
These were the watermelon seedlings that Zhu Li had planted in early March!
Watermelons came from the West or the Western Regions.
Before the Ming Dynasty, it was rare for Han people to eat watermelons. Basically, they were all brought in by merchants from the Western Regions or foreign countries. The locals did not know how to grow watermelons!
The main thing was that this thing was not full. Eating it would only fill his stomach with water!
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was not much food. Even if there were watermelon seeds, the imperial court did not allow them to be planted on the land!
Ordinary people might not know what watermelon tasted like in their entire lives!
The nobles or the royal family could also get some watermelons from Western merchants or foreign countries, but they could only eat them fresh. Not everyone could eat them!
Zhu Li planted these watermelons, and the seeds were obtained from the watermelons he bought in the system store.
If they were planted in March, they would ripen by the end of June. How could they do without watermelons in the hot summer?
However, watermelons were only used to satisfy Zhu Li's craving!
The potatoes and corn planted in this garden were the real treasures to Zhu Li!
Whether it was potatoes or corn, they were not planted in the early Ming Dynasty. They were food that you could not get even if you were rich and powerful!
For this reason, Zhu Li had specially sent a large number of troops to guard this orchard!
However, in the eyes of these soldiers, the things in this orchard should be some rare and precious fruits cultivated by the King of Han, because most of them had never seen them before!
The system's mall was similar to the large-scale comprehensive supermarket in the future. Basically, Zhu Li could buy everything that could be bought in the supermarket!
However, no matter how rich he was, the system store had a purchase limit. Zhu Li was only allowed to purchase one item per day!
And the price processing fee was a hundred times!
The prices in the system store were basically the same as in the future.
For example, a lighter was 1 yuan and a bottle of coke was 3 yuan.
However, the biggest part was the handling fee. For example, if you bought a lighter for 1 yuan, the handling fee would be 100 times that of a lighter!
The cola was 3 yuan, so the processing fee was 100 times that of 300 yuan!
What was even more ridiculous was that one tael of gold could only be exchanged in the system store at a ratio of 1:300!
One had to know that the price of gold in the future was more than 300 yuan per gram!
However, the system store required 1 tael of gold to exchange for 300 yuan. This was no different from robbery!
According to the measurement unit of the Ming Dynasty, one tael was about 37 grams. In the future, even if the price was 300 yuan per gram, it would be worth at least 11100 yuan.
This was equivalent to being cheated forty times over again!
But even so, to Zhu Li, it was worth it no matter how much gold he spent to buy something that could only be found in the future in the Great Ming Dynasty!
Over the years, Zhu Li had bought a lot of things from the system store. He could not waste the opportunity to buy every day. Moreover, he had to plan his purchases!
For example, Zhu Li also sold some technical books, such as modern farming techniques, farming tools, and other professional books.
Of course, there were also some things that Zhu Li thought were necessary. Zhu Li would also choose to buy them!
It had been more than ten days since he finished dealing with the piled up official documents in the Imperial Residence.
After that, Zhu Li took some time to deal with the orchard and planted a lot of chili seeds.
Eight days after he entered the palace to offer the pills, Geng Qing rushed back to Hanzhong Prefecture!
"You're back so soon? Did the Crown Prince take the pill I asked you to send?”
Zhu Li asked straightforwardly when he saw Geng Qing return.
"Replying to Your Highness, I was incompetent and failed to make the Crown Prince consume the pill!”
Geng Qing helplessly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"What happened?"
Zhu Li frowned and asked.
Geng Qing explained what had happened in the palace and how Zhu Yuanzhang had destroyed the pill.
"Perhaps big brother is destined to face this calamity. No one can change it!”
After listening to Geng Qing's story, Zhu Li sighed helplessly.
Actually, he had already guessed this outcome!
How could the old man agree to let Zhu Biao consume the pill that he had sent?
The reason why he insisted on Geng Qing sending this pill to Zhu Biao in the Ying Tian Prefecture was to have a clear conscience!
After all, Zhu Biao was a good brother and had taken care of him a lot!
Unfortunately, Zhu Biao still couldn't stop his fate of dying young!
However, after Zhu Biao's calamity, the next calamity would probably fall on the heads of these brothers!
