"Bring those pill refiners here."
Zhu Di snorted coldly.
Soon, a few alchemists dressed in rags and covered in blood were pressed forward.
"Emperor, I'm innocent."
As soon as he entered, the pill refiners knelt on the ground and complained to Zhu Di.
"Oh? Wronged?"
Zhu Di couldn't help but find it funny.
"Tell me how I wronged you.”
"Your Majesty, we have been studying the Dao of alchemy with all our heart. The pills we refine trace back to our ancestors. How dare we use poison pills to harm Your Majesty?”
An alchemist cried out.
The profession of pill refiner was dangerous to begin with, and they were treading on thin ice. The formulas were also passed down from their ancestors, and they did not dare to make any changes.
Unexpectedly, while they were refining pills in the alchemy room, a group of Jinyiwei appeared in the blink of an eye and tied them up in the imperial prison for torture without a word.
Who could take this?
"So, this one has wronged you?”
Zhu Di sneered. He did not want to listen to their explanations anymore.
Zhu Zhan Xin had already said that they were refining poison pills and had personally experimented on them. It had already completely confirmed that the medicinal pills they had eaten previously were poison pills.
"Drag it out and continue the interrogation.”
Zhu Di waved his hand.
"Wait."
Zhu Zhanji suddenly said. He turned around and looked at Zhu Di.
"Imperial grandfather, can you let Zhanji ask a few questions?”
Zhu Di didn't say anything, but Zhu Zhanji understood what he meant.
"Alchemists, Zhan Ji wants to ask you a few questions.”
"Your Highness, you can just speak frankly."
Those pill refiners hurriedly said as if they had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
"Other than you, who else has touched the pills refined by pill refiners?”
"I haven't."
The alchemist was afraid that Zhu Zhanji wouldn't believe him, so he explained.
"We are making pills for the emperor, so we are naturally on guard. Other than us, there is only one medicine master.”
Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di shook his head. He had already sent people to investigate the eunuch. There was no problem with Wen.
Zhu Zhanji was also a little confused. Logically speaking, he did not believe that these pill refiners would have the guts to poison Zhu Di.
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, the alchemist spoke again.
"Your Highness, we were wrongly accused. The pills that the emperor gave to the emperor were all tested by people. Not only that, but we also personally tested the medicine. If there was really a poisonous pill, we would not be able to protect our lives!”
"You said that you've also tried the medicine?”
"Naturally."
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he instantly understood something.
"Imperial grandfather, Zhanji knows what's going on.”
"Hmm?"
"These pill refiners really don't only know about the poison pill. Otherwise, they wouldn't have personally tested the pill.”
"Then what did Zhan Jue say? He has no reason to lie to you and me."
Zhu Di frowned.
"Royal grandfather, it's true that they don't know, but the pill they concocted is undoubtedly a poison pill.”
Zhu Di was a little puzzled when he heard this.
"Imperial Grandfather, do you still remember what Zhan Jue said? That poison pill varies from person to person. It will take at least a year and a half to ten years to act up.”
"That's why these alchemists have been experimenting with medicine for many years, but nothing strange has happened.”
Zhu Di fell silent. He looked at the pill refiners who were begging for mercy. He narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.
Then, no matter how much the alchemists begged for mercy, the Brocade Guard still dragged them away.
So what if they didn't know? The medicinal pills they refined were poisonous pills. This was enough to take their lives.
How could Zhu Di keep them?
Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth to say something, but he was stopped by Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji and shook his head, indicating that he should not interfere in this matter.
"Phew, people get muddle-headed when they're old.”
Zhu Di sat on the chair and sighed.
"Imperial grandfather, you're not old. Besides, now that you have those pills, you can cultivate immortal techniques. At that time, longevity will be in front of you.”
Zhu Zhanji stepped forward and complimented Zhu Di. Zhu Di's mood also improved.
He patted Zhu Zhanji's head. He liked to hear what Zhu Zhanji said.
"Crown Prince."
Zhu Di turned to look at Zhu Gaochi.
"This poison pill is like a thorn in my heart.”
"Your son understands. I will let Zhan Jue refine the antidote.”
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
"Oh right, this matter?"
"This is what your son needs. Father also knows that your son is sick and is afraid of poison pills.”
Zhu Gaochi quickly said.
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Zhu Gaochi's understanding.
If it was the King of Han or the King of Zhao, they might only shout once.
'Father, I'll get that brat to refine pills for you now.'
He was very worried about the antidote. He said that it might take eight to ten years for it to flare up, but what if?
Now, it was not easy for him to have the opportunity to cultivate immortal techniques. How could he be willing to leave in such a grievance?
After chatting for a while, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji took their leave.
"Father."
Zhu Gaochi raised his hand to interrupt Zhu Zhanji.
"Let me talk about this.”
As he said that, Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly.
"That brat is the same. I won't ask him or care about this matter. I think he doesn't care about my life as a father.”
"Father, don't say that. Isn't Fifth Brother busy recently?”
Zhu Zhanji explained.
"Busy? What else could he be busy with? He was holed up in the courtyard.”
"Father, have you forgotten that Fifth Brother also needs to cultivate? Isn't there a saying that there is no time in the mountains? Fifth Brother must have immersed himself in cultivation and forgotten about this matter.”
"However, doesn't he still remember the matter of the pill? Moreover, Mother also ate that poisonous pill. How can he just watch the two of you?”
Zhu Zhanji consoled him again, which finally appeased Zhu Gaochi.
He had no choice. Ever since he found out that Zhu Zhanlin cultivated immortal techniques, he did not know how to get along with Zhu Zhanlin.
Before this, his relationship with Zhu Zhan Xin was just average.
On the other hand, Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Shi doted on him.
This person thought too much.
"What do you think your mother would think if she knew who Immortal Zhan Ren was?”
Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked Zhu Zhanji.
"En, if it was mother, I think she wouldn't care if Zhan He was an immortal or not. Anyway, she only recognized Zhan He as her son. When the time comes, she might pester him all day to refine pills.”
Zhu Zhanji laughed.
"That's true. With your mother's personality, she can indeed do it.”
Zhu Gaochi smiled.
"I'm thinking too much. Let's go back.”
Zhu Zhanji's meaning was very obvious. No matter what Zhu Zhanji's identity was, he was still his son. This would not change.
"Besides, he's an immortal. You're also cultivating an immortal technique now. Your status is not much different.
Zhu Gaochi also understood this point and swept away the gloominess in his heart.
