Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"What is Master Daoyan thinking about? Master Daoyan has any concerns about Mr. Yuan?" Seeing that Monk Daoyan frequently lost his composure, Zhu Di's heart tightened unconsciously and he asked immediately.

Monk Daoyan pondered for a moment and then admitted truthfully, "I did have some concerns in my mind."

But he took a deep breath.

The next moment, he immediately shook his head and said, "I must be overthinking it. Tingyu's face reading skills are superb, and he has always been extremely confident in his ability. There is no way he would go back on what he said before."

He finally rejected the thought that flashed through his mind.

He was confident that he would not make a mistake in judging people.

I also believe in Yuan Gong’s confidence!

When Monk Daoyan mentioned this, Zhu Di couldn't help but recall what Yuan Gong, whom he had only met once, had said to him: "The appearance of the Emperor of Taiping."

Even now, he still remembers the man's expression at that time: determination, confidence, admiration, and awe - it really couldn't be faked.

Think about this.

Zhu Di felt much more relieved.

However, after so much time had passed, he still had some concerns. He suppressed his smugness and expressed a slight worry. He asked hesitantly, "Could it be that the person behind Zhu Yunhuan... discovered Mr. Yuan's intentions? Or... did Mr. Yuan meet with an unexpected disaster?"

Regarding the point he made.

Monk Daoyan didn't hesitate at all. He immediately waved his hand and gave a negative answer: "Absolutely not."

"First of all, we are in the north and he is in the south. When he met the prince, he just happened to be traveling to Peking. There is no loophole."

"Secondly, if Tingyu's true purpose for going to Yingtian Prefecture is discovered, or if he encounters something unforeseen, how can Your Highness and I... sit here peacefully, drinking tea and chatting?"

"Unless the Jinyiwei come to take us back."

"Otherwise, there's nothing to worry about."

After saying this, Monk Daoyan drank a sip of tea slowly and leisurely.

He looked very confident.

Zhu Di also smiled in relief and said, "Master Daoyan's words are indeed reasonable. On the contrary, I have been frightened by the supernatural powers of the man from Yingtian Prefecture over the past six months. Haha."

Hearing what Zhu Di said.

A hint of relief crossed Monk Daoyan's face. In a voice only he could hear, he murmured Zhu Di's words, "You're scaring yourself..." Then he chuckled in self-deprecation, thinking to himself, "If you want to slay a dragon, you must have a firm resolve. I thought I had no doubts, but I've been lost in delusion. That man is truly a formidable opponent!"

After secretly warning myself in my heart.

Only then did Monk Daoyan put aside the "sixth sense" in his mind which had no basis whatsoever.

While thinking.

Zhu Di, seated at the head of the table, was still searching for a reasonable explanation for Yuan Gong's situation. He raised an eyebrow and said, "After all, Zhu Yunhuan is obsessed with alchemy. Didn't we mention earlier that he even built a royal manor specifically for this purpose? I think he's even more obsessed with it than you and I initially thought. It's understandable that he keeps a closer eye on alchemists like Mr. Yuan."

Talk about it.

Zhu Di put the teacup in his hand aside.

A hint of inquiry appeared on his face. He looked at Monk Daoyan and asked, "Speaking of which, this king is also a little curious. This so-called alchemy... is there really a chance of refining an elixir?"

Seeking immortality is something everyone wants.

What’s more, Zhu Di had ambitions to become emperor?

Even though he knew in his heart that this undertaking would undoubtedly cost manpower, financial resources, material resources... and even national strength... However, how many emperors throughout history had flung themselves into the flames of fate? Many of them were wise rulers, and Zhu Di, not fully understanding the intricacies of the situation, was no exception.
