Zhu Zhanji and the other man, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks. Then, they saw the merchant from the Western Regions walk up to the man and start chatting.
"Big brother, it looks like we don't need to waste our time.”
Zhu Zhan looked at him and smiled.
After a while, the merchant from the Western Regions walked over with a smile.
"Young masters, my subordinate said that he had seen this herb before.”
The merchant hesitated for a moment.
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
Zhu Zhanji was a little dissatisfied. He could tell at a glance that this was a common method used by businessmen, but he was too lazy to dwell on this at the moment.
"Young Master, you must be joking. It's not a matter of money. It's just that these medicinal herbs are really not easy to obtain.”
The merchant from the Western Regions smiled awkwardly, but when he saw Zhu Zhanji's unfriendly expression, he quickly explained.
"It's like this. My subordinate's hometown is on the Silk Road. He said that he had seen this herb in his hometown.”
"Where is his hometown?"
"I think his name is Lou Lan."
"Lou Lan? Didn't Lou Lan perish long ago?"
Zhu Zhan Xin was somewhat puzzled.
"It's not an ancient Lou Lan, it's a new city built on the original ruins.”
Zhu Zhanji explained.
"Young Master is really knowledgeable."
The merchant from the Western Regions quickly complimented him.
"Indeed, Loulan was built on its former site.”
"Just tell me how much it costs.”
Zhu Zhanji raised his hand. He had no time to listen to him talk about history.
"Young Master, you might not know this, but according to my servant, that thing grows in the desert.”
"Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to walk there, let alone see it. That's why it's also called the Flower of Death. It means that one is not far from death when they see it.”
"May I know why Young Master is looking for this item?"
The merchant from the Western Regions was also curious. This was the first time he had heard of the Flower of Death, so how did Zhu Zhanji know about it?
"My father is seriously ill and it is difficult to cure him with ordinary medicine. I just happened to find an ancient prescription that can cure my father's chronic illness, so I went out to look for this.”
Zhu Zhanji casually found a reason.
The merchant from the Western Regions did not doubt it. He had seen the ability of the Great Ming's doctors. They were much more superior than the other countries.
"How about this? I'll send someone to wait here. Inform me if there's any news. If you can get that item, the price will definitely satisfy you.”
Without waiting for his reply, Zhu Zhanji pulled Zhu Zhanji and left Anfu Lane.
"Big brother, what's the rush?"
Zhu Zhan Xin was a little speechless. He had only been out for a short while and he wanted to go back.
"Since we've found the ingredients, let's hurry up and inform Imperial Grandfather.”
Zhu Zhanji knew the importance of this matter and rushed back to the palace with Zhu Zhanyi.
……
In the Imperial Palace, Zhu Di was currently sitting cross-legged in the quiet room of the royal study.
Wisps of calming green smoke rose from the incense burner in front of him. His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady.
After an unknown period of time, he opened his bloodshot eyes. He could not help but reveal a trace of disappointment.
He failed again. He still couldn't feel spiritual energy.
But he did not give up just like that. He was Emperor Yong Le, he had spent his entire life fighting in the north of the desert, the light of the blade and the shadow of the sword never made him retreat.
He wanted him to give up on such a small difficulty?
Soon. He had a faint feeling that he would be able to enter his body after cultivating for a while and truly embark on the path of cultivation.
Thinking of this, he held the jade box in his hand tightly. There were still quite a lot of pills left in it, which should be enough for him.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanxin request an audience.”
The eunuch's voice came from outside the door.
'Why are they here? Didn't you just go to the market?
Although Zhu Di was a little puzzled, he did not think too much about it. After getting someone to tidy up the room, he sat on a chair and called them in.
"Greetings, Imperial Grandfather."
The two of them came in and shouted in unison.
"Why do you two brothers have the time to come to this old man's place?”
Zhu Di looked at them half-jokingly.
"Hmm? Royal Grandfather, what are you doing?"
Zhu Zhanji noticed that there was something wrong with his expression.
"Oh, it's fine. This old man has insomnia easily. I don't know why I haven't been able to sleep recently.”
As he spoke, Zhu Di sighed.
Zhu Zhanji raised his nose and glanced at the quiet room next to him.
"Imperial grandfather, why don't we ask Zhan Jue to refine a few pills for you to calm your nerves?”
Although Zhu Zhanji knew something, he didn't expose him. Instead, he took the opportunity to care about Zhu Di.
"Fifth Brother, look."
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanji rubbed his fingers, meaning that if he could coax Zhu Di, the money matter would be over.
Good fellow, you've taken all the good things, and he's just working himself to death, right?
However, there was nothing he could do. Who asked him to use such methods?
"Zhan Xin will go back and refine a few pills for royal grandpa to calm his nerves.”
Zhu Di nodded and looked at them with a smile.
"Alright, that's all. Tell me what you're here for.”
He also understood that Zhu Zhan Xin definitely wouldn't be idle and come looking for him.
"It's like this. Fifth Brother and I were strolling around Anfu Lane when we accidentally heard about the whereabouts of the missing medicinal ingredients from a merchant from the Western Regions.”
Zhu Zhanji explained the situation in detail.
"Lou Lan?"
Zhu Di frowned slightly. He did not expect the medicinal herb to be there.
Moreover, it seemed that it would be a little troublesome to get it over.
"Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to inform Lou Lan and have them send the herbs over as soon as possible.”
"As for that merchant from the Western Regions, Zhanji has done a good job. My Great Ming has plenty of money and goods, as long as he can deliver the herbs.”
Zhu Di praised Zhu Zhanji.
"The whereabouts of Imperial Grandfather's medicinal ingredients have indeed been found, but the time required is not short.”
Zhu Zhanji reminded him.
According to the merchant from the Western Regions, it would be difficult to pick the medicinal herbs.
Zhu Di muttered to himself. He had also thought of this.
"Let me go."
At this moment, Zhu Zhanxin suddenly spoke.
"In that desert, ordinary people might not even have the life to walk out, let alone find that medicinal herb.”
"It's different if I go. The desert danger zone won't be a problem for me.”
As he spoke, Zhu Zhan Xin opened his palm, and a ball of water condensed in his palm.
It was well known that the desert lacked water the most, but he did not have to worry. He could condense the water vapor in the air to replenish himself at any time.
As for why he wanted to go, it could only be that he suddenly had the interest to go out and take a look.
