Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Especially when the other party continued with, "Then you continue reading your serialized novel. I have to leave first."

"Leaving? So early today?" Xu Miaojin asked. This was a bit unusual. In the past, Tong Yun liked to stay here, drinking tea and listening to the newspaper. He liked to watch the people coming and going outside from time to time...

There was a hint of reluctance in Xu Miaojin's eyes.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded.

"There are other things going on today."

If there was nothing important, he would of course be happy to eat and drink here, and by the way, visit the people of Yingtian Prefecture, see the impact of the news in the newspaper, and eat some melons.

But he is leaving the palace today.

It's indeed more than just this one thing.

Fortunately, the most important headlines have been read, and he has also finished reading what he should read most.

The rest is dispensable to him.

After saying that, Zhu Yunhuan stood up and walked slowly towards the door. He was the emperor, and his word was final wherever he went. He could leave at any time. He had his own things to do, and nothing could stop him.

Zhao Feng followed, bowed and stepped forward to open the door for Zhu Yunhuan, and extended his hand to guide them. The master and servant walked out of the box one after another.

Xu Miaojin raised her hand, but ultimately said nothing.

What if we keep the other person here?

You never know, you might get into trouble and hurt others because of an impulsive action.

She took a deep breath with a long look in her eyes, and there was only loneliness and gloom on her little face. She didn't even have the heart to read the new issue of the serial novel in her hand.

Let’s talk about Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhao Feng followed him and squeezed out of Zuiyue Tower. The white snow, festive red cloth, couplets, red lanterns, and the cold wind came into view.

"Master...where are we going?" Zhao Feng asked in confusion.

Although he is now considered one of Zhu Yunhuan's confidants, his master often does things without any rules, and many times even he, a close minister, does not know his master's movements.

For example, now, he really doesn't know what Zhu Yunhuan is going to do.

"Go to the Alchemy Department!" Zhu Yunhuan ordered directly.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Feng responded and immediately gestured in a certain direction. Soon, a spacious and luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the two of them with the sound of horse hooves and wheels.

Today, the Alchemy Department has two locations.

One is within the walls of a remote courtyard in the imperial palace; the other was recently opened up. All the farmers and tenants in the original royal manor were moved out and relocated to other places. It is said that a large alchemy furnace is being built in full swing.

Both places were strictly guarded by Zhu Yunhuan's confidants.

The alchemy office that Zhu Yunhuan wanted to go to outside the palace was naturally the royal manor on the outskirts of the city.

Zhu Yunhuan got on the car.

Zhao Feng sat at the door of the carriage with ease, whipped the horse, and the carriage kicked up the mud and snow on the ground and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

……

The carriage prepared by the Embroidered Uniform Guard for Zhu Yunhuan was not as luxurious as the royal ones, but the horses pulling it were definitely good and fast.

Arrived at the Alchemy Department on the outskirts of the city.

The carriage stopped directly at the gate of the royal manor, but did not go in directly. Instead, Zhu Yunhuan, who was wearing a crescent-shaped white silk shirt, pushed open the door and jumped out.

"You wait for me here."

Zhu Yunhuan gave the order calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhao Feng replied, and at the same time, he quickly took out a fox fur coat and put it on Zhu Yunhuan. "It's cold and frosty, Your Majesty, please be careful."

Zhu Yunhuan said nothing more, and then walked alone on the snow and entered the manor on foot.

Zhao Feng was used to not being allowed in.

His Majesty is a man of great caution, otherwise he would not have been able to arrange the cheap fabrics, anthracite, etc. so quietly.

But what Zhao Feng found a little strange was...

"Although His Majesty is young, he has always been calm and steady, more stable than anyone else. No one can see or guess what he is thinking, but today... his steps seem to be wider than usual, and he walks faster?" Zhao Feng sat in the carriage, gazing at the broad and sturdy figure that was moving away, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

Although Zhu Yunhuan, who usually served the emperor, didn't show much unusual behavior, Zhao Feng still caught a glimpse of something unusual. "Your Majesty is clearly in a very good mood. Today in Zuiyue Tower, he was even willing to joke with me. Could it be... that he has finally made this elixir?"

Speaking of this.

Zhao Feng looked at Zhu Yunhuan's back, which was almost hidden in the wind and snow, and his eyes couldn't help but shine faintly.

Elixir, immortality...

Something that emperors of all dynasties have sought but failed to obtain.

Even though Zhao Feng knew very clearly that there was no chance of him getting a share, he still couldn't help but feel excited when faced with such a thing.

Wait until Zhu Yunhuan's figure completely disappears.

Zhao Feng then withdrew his gaze awkwardly, jumped up, and plopped down on the carriage. He sighed deeply, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "There's no point in thinking about it. Serving my master well is the most important thing!"

in fact……

in a sense.

Zhao Feng's guess wasn't too wrong.

It was indeed refined, but the Alchemy Department was just called the Alchemy Department, and actually no one inside was refining the elixir.

I finished the morning court session early this morning.

Zhu Yunhuan had originally only thought of taking advantage of his free time to go out for a stroll and a bite of melon. But before he even left the house, he received a report from Ma Sanbao: "Under the guidance of Your Majesty, after repeated research by our disciples, we have finally lived up to your expectations and have produced steel in three consecutive furnaces. This is specially reported to Your Majesty!"
