disappointment? Why was he disappointed? Zhu Tan looked over in confusion.
Although he trusted the two alchemists and took the elixir, this was at best a moment of confusion, and it couldn't be considered a disappointment to his husband, right?
Han Du's eyes were mixed with helplessness again, and he said earnestly: "Since ancient times, alchemy by alchemists has been regarded as the most elementary chemical experiment, and it is not even a chemical experiment. You have been studying in the academy for so long, but in the end you left The alchemist’s way back, I’ve taught you about feelings for so long, but it’s all in vain, do you think I’m disappointed?”
"What? Chemistry is alchemy?" Zhu Tan became excited, stood up and looked down at Han Du in disbelief.
Han Du smiled slightly and waved for him to sit down, "Sit down, why are you so excited? You are wrong. Chemistry is not alchemy, but it is much more advanced than alchemy. If you think that like an alchemist, you can mess up a bunch of If throwing something into a copper furnace and refining it is chemistry, then you are too insulting to chemistry."
Zhu Tan was immediately stunned. Alchemists have been synonymous with mystery and mystery since ancient times. When Zhu Tan was approached by two alchemists, he couldn't be happier.
But now Han Du told him that the alchemist's methods were nothing compared to chemistry.
"Why are you so excited?" Han Du turned to look at Zhu Tan and said, "I have said that alchemy is nothing compared to chemistry. Alchemy is completely based on luck and mixing various things together. As for whether they can refine anything, the alchemists themselves don’t know. The so-called elixir recipes that are left now are just the alchemists in the past who were lucky and happened to be right to refine such a thing. They just know it. , without knowing why.”
"But chemistry is different. It has a system and context. As long as you set up experiments in advance according to the rules of chemical reactions, you can almost get exactly what you want. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker?"
Although Han Du didn't teach Zhu Tan much, Zhu Tan still trusted Han Du. Now when I heard what Han Du said, I suddenly felt that although chemistry is mainly about doing various experiments, but thinking back carefully, there is indeed a vague thread in these experiments.
"Thank you sir for your teaching. I would like to take a leave of absence and go back. Please allow me sir." Zhu Tan stood up and bowed to Han, making a decision in his heart.
"Okay, go back quickly, as long as it doesn't delay your studies." After advising Zhu Tan, Han Du left.
...
Zhu Tan had a sullen face and remained silent all the way. As soon as he returned to the house, he was greeted by the anxious-looking housekeeper.
"Your Majesty has come back just in time. The Emperor has sent people to take away two real people. Maybe they were just summoned for questioning. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."
The real people mentioned by the steward were naturally the two alchemists.
Zhu Tan tried the elixirs provided by the two alchemists and felt that they were genuine, so he attached great importance to them. The housekeeper was afraid that Zhu Tan would be reluctant to part with the two alchemists and would have a conflict with the Yiluansi who came.
Before today, Zhu Tan naturally would not have let the two of them be taken away. But now, under the disbelief eyes of the housekeeper, he nodded lightly.
"knew."
The housekeeper was confused and opened his mouth but didn't ask any more questions. Then I thought, never mind it, since the prince has no intention of retaining anyone, it just avoids the conflict with Yiluan Si, and everyone is happy.
While the two were talking, the people from Yiluan Division escorted the two alchemists out.
When the two of them saw Zhu Tan, they were suddenly surprised.
Just now, the people from Yiluan Division rushed into the palace, and no one could stop them without Zhu Tan. What's more, Yi Luan Si is looking for two alchemists. The two people here have just joined the mansion, and they are very different from the old people in the mansion. No one is willing to help them, let alone speak for them.
The two alchemists were being escorted by Yi Luan Si. They thought they were in for a disaster, but they didn't expect to meet Zhu Tan, who had just returned, at the gate of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help me!" The two of them struggled desperately in the hands of the guards, as if they were saved from a desperate situation.
After all, they both knew how much Zhu Tan liked them. In the past, Zhu Tan had never refused the requests of the two of them. Whether they wanted gold, silver, precious medicinal materials, or all kinds of weird things, Zhu Tan would satisfy them without hesitation.
When the commander of the guards saw this, he lamented in his heart that he was unlucky and happened to meet King Lu coming back.
"The general will pay homage to His Royal Highness King Lu."
Zhu Tan glanced at the two alchemists expressionlessly, then looked back at the commander of the guards, "What are you doing?"
The commander of the guards felt nervous and replied bravely, "Back to Your Highness, the Emperor was very angry when he heard that His Highness was keeping alchemists in the palace to make alchemy. He sent the special general to take them away. If His Highness has anything to say, it is best to tell the Emperor Go ahead and tell me, and please don’t stop me, Your Highness.”
While speaking, the commander kept looking at Zhu Tan cautiously, fearing that he would suddenly cause trouble and prevent him from taking the two of them away. It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. Zhu Tan has done it once or twice to make a fuss in front of the emperor over a trivial matter.
The two alchemists naturally knew what kind of person Zhu Tan was, and they kept struggling in the hands of the guards.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, help me."
The two tried to arouse Zhu Tan's attention to them by shouting, but unfortunately Zhu Tan only glanced at them lightly, turned to the commander of the guards and said, "I know."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing King Lu leave, everyone looked like they couldn't believe it.
The two alchemists couldn't believe that King Lu, who had high hopes for them a few days ago, would give up on them so easily.
The commander of the guards and the people in the palace did not expect that King Lu would be so easy to talk to. This was completely different from what they expected.
However, the guard commander didn't think much about it. Since King Lu meant this, things would become simple. With a wave of his hand, he escorted the two alchemists out of the palace, turned around and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Without waiting for Zhu Tan to express his opinions, he quickly took people back to make an appointment.
"He really didn't make a fuss?" Lao Zhu asked the guard with some disbelief. This is not Zhu Tan's style.
"It is true that I have not returned to the emperor. His Royal Highness Prince Lu just said that he understood and asked the general to take the two of them away." The guard clasped his hands and bowed.
Lao Zhu waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
After wondering for a while, he smacked his lips and whispered in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "Have you really changed your temper?"
When Lao Zhu was confused, the old eunuch reported to King Lu for an audience.
"Are you still stubborn and want to intercede for the two demons?" Lao Zhu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, feeling very dissatisfied and getting angry immediately.
