The Great Ming Demon Pill: Your Majesty, please address me as the Crown Prince!

Immediately afterward, Zhu Zhanji sprang into action with lightning speed, staggering back several steps in terror, his face deathly pale.

Zhu Yi wiped the drool from her lips, speechless, stood up, and looked completely innocent.

Zhu Zhanji pointed at Zhu Yi, his finger trembling.

"Zhu Yi!"

"What...what were you doing just now?!"

"How dare you... how dare you treat me like this!"

Zhu Yi looked completely innocent.

"Your Highness, that's really not a fair thing to say."

"I sacrificed my first kiss to save your life."

"If it weren't for me, you would have been in danger just now."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhu Zhanji's face was terribly gloomy, and his once handsome face was now contorted with rage.

Damn it, being kissed by a man in front of so many people, his mouth covered in saliva, he might as well not want to live anymore.

Zhu Zhanjun said with a grin.

"Brother, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Zhu Yi was indeed saving you."

"You fell into the water and choked, you stopped breathing. The imperial physician's methods didn't work. I had Zhu Yi use artificial respiration and chest compressions to pull you back from the brink of death."

[Ding! You have obtained a Prismatic Treasure Chest!]

Zhu Zhanji was both surprised and angry, and looked at Zhu Zhanjun.

"Your idea?"

Dry!

He knew that Zhu Yi was such an idiot, how could she possibly do such a thing? It turns out that this kid was behind it!

Do you have to kiss someone to save them?

Grass!

At this moment, Crown Princess Zhang almost threw herself at Zhu Zhanji's side, her trembling hands cupping her son's face, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked him up and down: "Ji'er!"

"Kier, what's wrong?"

"Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"Quickly tell Mother!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly wiped the water off Zhu Zhanji's face with her sleeve.

Zhu Gaochi, dragging his obese body, staggered forward, panting heavily with cold sweat on his forehead. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji, though pale, at least had his eyes open, his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled back down.

He stretched out his thick palm and patted Zhu Zhanji's soaked shoulder hard.

"It's alright...it's alright...you scared your father to death..."

Zhu Di stood a short distance away, with his hands behind his back.

His gaze swept over the soaking wet and disheveled Changsun with mixed feelings, then he looked at the grinning Zhu Zhanjun beside him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, thank goodness for Zhan Jun; those imperial physicians are completely unreliable.

Zhu Zhanji felt a little better after his parents rushed over to comfort him, but the thought of Zhu Zhanjun suggesting that Zhu Yi kiss him made him furious.

Keep in mind that those noble ladies were still watching from a distance.

Does this mean he'll lose face in the future?

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but break free from Zhang's hand and staggered two steps toward Zhu Di.

"Grandfather, you must do justice for your grandson!"

"Zhan Jun... he wasn't really trying to save me!"

"He made Zhu Yi treat me like that... that way, clearly to deliberately humiliate my grandson and make him look bad in front of everyone!"

"He has ulterior motives!"

Zhu Zhanji became increasingly agitated as he spoke, pointing at Zhu Zhanjun with tears welling in his eyes: "My grandson fell into the water and was on the verge of death, and he actually came up with such... such a despicable method! How can I face anyone after this? Grandfather, you must punish him severely!"

As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent.

Many ministers and eunuchs looked at each other, feeling that the eldest grandson of the emperor had gone too far with his words.

The situation was critical, as everyone witnessed. The imperial physicians were helpless. It was only when Prince Jiyang stepped forward to give instructions, and Zhu Yi carried them out, that the person was pulled back from the brink of death.

Now that the eldest grandson of the emperor has awakened, he is reprimanding the Prince of Jiyang.

This attitude truly chilled many people to the bone.

Zhu Di was initially relieved to see that his eldest grandson was unharmed, and was secretly rejoicing. However, when he heard that Zhu Zhanji not only showed no gratitude but also accused Zhu Zhanjun of having ulterior motives, his face immediately darkened.

Zhu Di immediately rebuked him.

"shut up!"

Zhu Zhanji was startled by the rebuke, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

Zhu Di spoke slowly.

"I and all my beloved ministers saw what just happened clearly."

"After you fell into the water, you stopped breathing, and the imperial physicians tried every possible method but were unable to save you."

"How critical was the situation at the time?"

"I am extremely anxious."

"Shi Zhanjun stepped forward!"

"They used the unheard-of methods of 'artificial respiration' and 'chest compressions'!"

"I ask you," I say, "if not for this method, would you still be standing here, complaining to me about your brother?"

Zhu Zhanji was speechless when asked the question. His face turned red and white in turns, and his lips trembled, but no sound came out.

Zhu Di said with great sorrow.

"That's a lifesaver!"

"It may not look very elegant, but in a critical moment, anything that can save a life is a good method!"

"Zhan Jun was only six years old, yet he possessed such quick wit and a sense of responsibility, and decisively provided assistance."

"Instead of being grateful to your brother for saving your life, you repay kindness with ingratitude and accuse him of humiliating you? Where has all your education gone? Where is your compassion and brotherly loyalty?"

Many ministers nodded secretly, agreeing with His Majesty's words.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, wanting to say something for his son, but seeing his father's stern gaze, he ultimately dared not utter a sound. He simply sighed, tugged at Zhu Zhanji's sleeve, and whispered, "Ji'er, why don't you quickly thank your imperial grandfather for his teachings, and... thank Zhanjun for saving your life?"

Although Crown Princess Zhang felt sorry for her son being "wronged", she understood that His Majesty was in a bad mood and that the truth was not on her son's side. So she could only hold back her tears and gently push Zhu Zhanji, signaling him to back down.

Zhu Zhanji's chest heaved violently, his heart filled with shame and indignation that almost suffocated him.

He looked at Zhu Zhanjun and saw the other man blinking his big, innocent eyes, which made Zhu Zhanji feel a surge of anger rush to his head.

But he dared not contradict his grandfather again.

Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said.

"Grandson... knows he was wrong."

"Thank you, Zhanjun, for saving my life."

Zhu Di's expression softened slightly when he saw that Zhu Di had admitted his mistake.

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

"Today is your birthday, yet you've caused such a commotion. Go back and reflect on your actions!"

"More importantly, we must remember that harmony should be the priority among brothers, and we should help and support each other. How can we forget the greater good because of trivial matters?"

"Grandson will remember Grandfather's teachings." Zhu Zhanji lowered his head, his voice muffled.

Zhu Di then turned to Zhu Zhanjun, his tone softening considerably: "Zhanjun, you did very well today. You remained calm in the face of danger, acted bravely, and saved your elder brother's life. Where did you learn this first-aid method?"

Zhu Zhanjun had already prepared his words and immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty, I only learned about it by chance in a miscellaneous book. It was called 'Artificial Rejuvenation Technique'."

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I remembered this method, so I boldly gave it a try. Fortunately, I did not fail in my mission. I hope my grandfather will not blame me for being reckless."

"Miscellaneous books?" Zhu Di stroked his beard, somewhat puzzled, but did not delve into it, merely nodding slightly.

"No matter where it comes from, if it can save lives, it's a good method."

"Later, write down this method in detail and give it to the Imperial Medical Academy so that they can study it carefully and perhaps promote it to save future drowning people."

"Your grandson obeys!" Zhu Zhanjun replied loudly.
