Chapter 123, the new research, is very useful.
Upon hearing this, Cao secretly thought to herself that she was doomed.
Without thinking, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the gate of Kunning Palace.
"It was this humble servant who broke the rules and disturbed Her Majesty the Empress's work. Please punish me, Her Majesty."
She was quick to admit her mistake, but unfortunately there was a blind man present who couldn't see the situation, and her apology almost became a stain on the accusation that the Empress was heartless.
Cao was nearly scared to death.
"What are you doing, sister? Her Majesty the Empress is the most virtuous and kind. How could she blame us? We just came to pay our respects. If Her Majesty is angry, we can go back." Madam Sun, like a naive and foolish girl, dared to say anything.
"Shut up."
The shout came from Granny Zhang, who stepped forward without saying a word and slapped Madam Sun across the face.
"How dare you discuss the Empress? Consort Sun, don't forget your place."
Sun Yingying, who was yelled at, was also startled. She looked at the nanny who had been gentle just now with a confused expression. How did she suddenly turn into her aunt's stern look?
I was genuinely startled for a moment.
"Consort Sun is disrespectful to the Empress and does not know the rules. Her Majesty the Empress is kind and has specially invited two matrons to teach Consort Sun the rules. She may serve the Emperor again only after she has learned them. For disrespecting the Empress, Consort Sun shall be punished with ten strokes on her hands and heart as a warning to others."
As soon as Granny Zhang finished speaking, two other nannies walked up to Consort Sun and forced her to kneel on the ground with a loud thud, showing how much force they used.
Cao was so frightened that she dared not look up; her eyes were red-rimmed, showing how terrified she was.
Zhang Mama took another step to the left. "Consort Cao, please rise. Her Majesty the Empress is kind and has specially instructed this old servant to prepare two tutors for you, so that you can learn how to serve the Emperor and serve him well when he summons new concubines."
These words made Consort Cao's face burn. She knew that the Empress was giving her a warning, telling her that she had broken the rules today.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. This servant thanks Your Majesty."
Sun was gagged and dragged away, while Cao left with two supervising nannies.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Whether Lady Sun will rise to prominence is unknown, but everyone in the harem knows that offending the Empress will bring no good days, so Lady Sun is no longer important.
They had initially been very courteous to Sun because of her background, but now it seemed unnecessary. Whether she could be fully instructed by the nanny was another matter entirely.
An unfavored concubine dies without anyone knowing.
So what if the Sun family is involved? So what if she is the emperor's wet nurse?
Would the emperor really reprimand the empress because of a wet nurse's niece?
After sending the two away, Granny Zhang went into the hall to report.
Fanghua laughed after hearing this. "Cao Ying is an interesting woman. As for Sun Shi, humph, I don't want any more rumors about her in the harem." Does she really think she, the Empress, is made of clay?
"Yes, I've got it." Qiaoling stepped forward and accepted the order.
I closed my eyes again, pretending to sleep; life couldn't be happier.
What made Fanghua even happier was that Xiaofeng had actually managed to concoct the internal energy pills she had asked him to research.
"Master, Master, quickly find someone to try it out! Xiao Feng has managed to get the internal energy pill out!" Xiao Feng excitedly boasted to her master.
Fanghua was also pleasantly surprised.
Previously, the spiritual spring water could improve personal aptitude, but martial arts skills still had to be learned through their own practice. Now, things are different.
The pills she had Xiaofeng make could contain internal energy. After taking them, one could obtain the internal energy of a martial artist. As long as they mastered it, they could use it at will.
However, Xiao Feng had said that such pills had limitations; once the medicinal effect wore off, the internal energy would also disappear.
Therefore, this pill can only be used by those who want to achieve quick results; those who truly want to master the skill must still practice diligently on their own.
Fanghua wanted this quick-fix version, because that's the only way to make people wholeheartedly work for her.
It would be best to give it to those secret guards.
"Wait here." Fanghua sat up straight excitedly.
Her actions startled Qiaoyun and the others who were guarding her.
"What happened to Your Highness?" Qiaoyun asked as she stepped forward.
Fanghua waved her hand, "It's nothing. Qiaoyun, go and call Li Changfu over. I need to speak with him."
It would be best to let Li Changfu try this out. He has a foundation in martial arts, and with this internal energy pill, he will definitely be able to get immediate feedback.
"yes."
Li Changfu arrived quickly. Although he didn't understand why the Empress had summoned him, he still hurried over.
The person came in slightly out of breath, and Fanghua found it amusing and said, "No need to run, it's nothing urgent."
After bowing, Li Changfu stood up and said, "How could I not be anxious when Her Majesty called? I'm fine, I'm in good health, I just ran a little too fast."
Fanghua stopped trying to persuade her, shook her head, and then took out the things Xiaofeng had given her.
"Try this internal energy pill and see if it's of great use." Fanghua handed over the pill quite naturally.
The people around him all lit up when they heard this.
The Internal Force Pill sounds powerful just from its name. Internal force is something that martial artists dream of.
Unfortunately, they started learning martial arts late, and none of them possessed internal energy.
Even Qiaoling, who was the first to learn martial arts, was only slightly stronger than the average person.
They couldn't compare to the Royal Guards; those guys were top-notch experts.
"Yes." Li Changfu excitedly took the pill, then poured one out and popped it into his mouth.
Before long, he felt a power surging within his body. As a martial artist, he naturally knew how to control this power. He apologized and sat cross-legged.
Fanghua stopped people from getting close, for fear of affecting Li Changfu.
After Li Changfu adapted to that power, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Li immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the Empress, who was at the head of the table, saying, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
Seeing his excited expression, Fanghua understood that Xiaofeng's invention was really good, and she would try it out when she had time.
"Well, tell me in detail," Fanghua said, intrigued.
Li Changfu, of course, concealed everything, explaining in detail the reactions after taking the internal energy pill and how to deal with them.
Upon hearing this, Fanghua immediately wanted to try it out.
Fortunately, she suppressed her curiosity.
"Can this power be stored indefinitely, or will it be gone once it's used up?" That was what she cared about most.
Li Changfu tried it, then the joy on his face faded a bit. "Your Majesty, this internal energy is a consumable. Once the internal energy accumulated from physical strength is used up, it will disappear." He had thought it could recover on its own.
Why do I say this? Because he tried to deplete his internal energy and then recover it on its own, but he couldn't.
"That's not bad either, at least it can be stored in the body when not in use." Xiao Feng is still somewhat useful.
As soon as Fanghua finished speaking, Xiaofeng's voice rang in her mind, "Master, you're overthinking it. The internal energy pill will dissipate slowly even if you don't use it, unless you take it every day." If that were the case, it would become a dedicated alchemist. No, no.
As if to confirm Xiaofeng's words, Li Changfu also spoke up.
