Slenderness Pill, Color Discerning Pill, Recovery Pill

He wasn't in a hurry. He found a private room in the teahouse, ordered a pot of good tea and some snacks, and waited patiently for the people who were following Mei Zhongjun to return and report.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the person who went to investigate returned and reported, "Mei Zhongjun did not go home, but went directly to a house in the south of the city and knocked on the door to ask to see the person inside. But after knocking for a long time, no one answered. He had no choice but to go back sheepishly."

"I investigated and found that the house belonged to the wife's younger brother of Minister Lord Chen, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He used to keep a mistress there, but she died three years ago, and the house has been vacant ever since."

Eunuch Xie placed his teacup on the table, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go back to the palace to report."

Back in the palace, Eunuch Xie reported the matter truthfully, and Xiao Ge's face darkened.

The Third Prince was employed in the Ministry of Personnel, and the Left Vice Minister Chen Dong, was a member of the Third Prince's faction.

Xiao Ge went directly to Consort Jin's palace and had Eunuch Xie Consort Jin tell her about what had happened that day. He said, "It seems that I, the emperor, am nothing in your eyes. You promised to my face not to make things difficult for Zhao Zhiwei, but the moment you turn around, you sent people to make things difficult for that master and disciple. Consort Jin, how dare you!"

Consort Jin was shocked and immediately knelt down, crying out, "Your Majesty, I truly know nothing of this matter. Please investigate thoroughly." As she spoke, she kowtowed several times forcefully.

"Even if you hadn't warned me, I wouldn't have bothered with a young girl. I know your feelings for Mister Kumu; how foolish would I be to go against them, master and disciple?"

Xiao Ge also believed that this matter was not instigated by Consort Jin. If Consort Jin really that stupid, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

In the imperial harem, fools don't live long.

"I don't care whether you know about this or not. But it's certain that Pingyang orchestrated this. She's working for you and is also wholeheartedly trying to avenge you, so I'm leaving this matter to you. I don't care about the process, only the result."

Xiao Ge stood up and walked out.

That night, Xiao Ge went to Noble Consort Cen's palace and stayed there.

This has never happened in the past few years.

When Consort Jin found out, she smashed several teacups and cried bitterly.

The next day, she summoned Xiao Yuyue to the palace, reprimanded her, and stripped her of her management authority over the Capital Women's Academy.

After seeing Kang Shilin off to his residence and bidding farewell to her fellow disciples, Zhao Ruxi was on her way home by carriage when the system's incessant chatter nearly drove her to a nervous breakdown.

"Host, don't you want to know who's behind Mei Zhongjun? With someone like that secretly watching you, how can you sleep at night?"

"Besides, don't you want to know what the Emperor thinks about this? You can get this information by spending a little bit of points."

Zhao Ruxi rubbed her temples. "Master has been so angry and wronged. Shouldn't the Emperor show some respect and give Master an explanation? He will send someone to investigate this matter. I just need to wait patiently for a few days; there's no need to spend points."

system:"..."

Zhao Ruxi patiently explained to it, "I need to buy Recovery Pill now, so I can't waste my points. Don't worry, all the points I've saved up will definitely end up in your hands."

During this period, the system gradually provided her with the names of some products.

For example, the Slenderness Pill, one pill can help you stay slim, and you won't gain weight no matter how much you eat.

For example, the Gracefulness Pill" can make a person's figure graceful, and every move they make will be extremely beautiful and elegant.

These pills require 50,000 points.

There are also other kinds of pills, such as Pitch Discrimination Pill and Taste Discerning Pill.

If Zhao Ruxi wanted to learn music, the first option would naturally be of great benefit to her; if she wanted to be a chef or a gourmet, the second option would be invaluable to her as well.

Finally, the system found similar Color Discerning Pill and explained that if Zhao Ruxi ate them, she would become extremely sensitive to colors and be able to paint better pictures.

Each of these pills costs 80,000 points.

Zhao Ruxi wasn't really interested in buying, but that didn't stop her from negotiating with the system. However, the system refused to lower the price, saying that the cost price was already very high and it couldn't be reduced.

After trying every means to reduce the price without success, Zhao Ruxi indicated that she did not need them for the time being.

These pills aren't bad. If the world were peaceful and life were good, she could naturally buy some Color Discerning Pill, Pitch Discrimination Pill, and Taste Discerning Pill to try. Putting aside everything else, the Color Discerning Pill would be very helpful to her painting skills.

But isn't this something we don't need for the time being?

Besides, if she doesn't buy it, the system might find other good things.

Sure enough, after confirming that Zhao Ruxi had no intention of buying those things, the system found a pill called the Recovery Pill.

Zhao Ruxi was overjoyed, thinking it was like the Slenderness Pill and other similar medicines, which could keep one healthy for life.

The system description states that this pill can regulate the body, enhance immunity, cure minor illnesses directly, and alleviate serious illnesses. However, its effects are not long-term; it cannot cure serious illnesses completely, nor can it guarantee that a person will never get sick.

This pill costs 100,000 points.

Although this product was expensive and had limited effects, Zhao Ruxi was still quite satisfied.

With the arrival of winter, Zhao Yuanxun's health deteriorated; he frequently caught colds, fevers, and coughs, spending much of his time bedridden. Everyone was very worried about him.

This is an era where even a common cold can be fatal. Who knows if Zhao Yuanxun's illness might worsen and he might eventually succumb to it?

If he takes this pill, he should be able to live like a normal person. Even if he catches a cold, the frequency of catching a cold will be greatly reduced. After catching a cold, taking a few doses of Physician Shi's medicine should help him recover quickly.

If Zhao Ruxi has ten points, she can buy medicine for her father.

After buying the Great Strength Pill" and clearing her points, she has been diligently drawing to earn more points. Her scores in both painting and calligraphy are quite good, earning her anywhere from tens to hundreds of points per painting and ten points per piece of calligraphy. However, the time to accumulate points is ultimately limited, and she currently only has 70,000 points.

She argued with the system until she was hoarse, but in the end, the system only lowered the score to 90,000 points and refused to lower it any further.

With this goal in mind, why would Zhao Ruxi recklessly squander her points for some insignificant piece of information?

The thought of points made Zhao Ruxi feel as if her heart had been ripped out.

"Ugh, I lost hundreds of points for nothing because of Mei Zhongjun and Zhang Xiuyan. I'm so angry, so angry!"

She earned 300 and 500 points for first place in the preliminary and semi-final rounds respectively. Even if she didn't get 1000, she'd still get 800 points for first place in the final. Now that she's withdrawn, all those points are gone.
