The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 260 Level 4

Ning Yi was in his mansion, soaking in a medicine jar, stretching comfortably in the steaming heat.

After finally standing up comfortably, Zeng Rou took a towel and wiped his body thoroughly.

Zeng Rou has long been his personal maid, and has helped Ning Yi take medicinal baths countless times. From her initial shyness and blushing, it has now become natural.

After carefully dressing Ning Yi in a dragon robe, combing his hair, and putting on a white jade headband for him.

Ning Yi stood up to stretch his muscles, then punched a very sturdy stool, which shattered on the spot.

He nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, the looted herbs are the most effective."

Ever since the Second Army copied a large number of precious medicinal herbs from Prince Ji's mansion, Ning Yi would take medicinal baths from time to time to practice his "Link Body Art".

Prince Ji is one of the most powerful vassal kings in the world, and his family is very wealthy.

In the past, Ning Yi relied on the Intelligence Department to search for precious medicinal herbs everywhere. They were scarce and it took quite a while to take a bath, so he cherished them very much.

However, the medicinal materials seized from Prince Ji's Mansion were so precious and abundant that no one was willing to be stingy, so they were naturally extremely generous.

In just a few months, he had already advanced from the third level of the Body Refining Technique to the fourth level.

The strength has increased a lot, the physical fitness has been greatly improved, and even the speed has increased a lot.

Ning Yi believed that with armor on and weapons in hand, he could defeat ten or eight burly men without any problem.

However, this strength must be hidden by oneself and must not be leaked out.

Otherwise, Ning Yi always appeared as a fragile, suave, and arrogant prince.

Only those who are truly his own people know that he is now very powerful.

Qin Haifeng saw all this at the door and said with envy, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for reaching the fourth level."

Ning Yi nodded in satisfaction, looked at him and said, "Old Qin, you are not bad either. You have reached the peak of the second level."

Qin Haifeng laughed bitterly: "I am just a humble official. I am lucky enough to be able to beat up a few big men. I can't compare with Your Highness."

Ning Yi was naturally not stingy enough to practice alone, and also taught Qin Haifeng the practice mantras for the first few levels.

However, this conjoined technique wastes too many resources. Not only does it require money, but it also requires sufficient precious medicinal materials with diverse varieties, many of which are difficult to find.

Even finding one is quite a feat, unlike Ning Yi who actually uses it for bathing every day.

Qin Haifeng was able to reach the peak of the second level only by relying on the medicinal herbs he rewarded him with and his own hard work, which was already remarkable.

Even so, Qin Haifeng's level of wastefulness can be said to have been exchanged for a huge amount of money.

You should know that the late emperor practiced this "Body Refining Art" for decades before he barely reached the sixth level.

That was the result of plundering benefits from all over the country.

It's already the limit.

It hasn't been long since Ning Yi reached the fourth floor.

Not only were there precious medicinal herbs that had been looted from various places, but even the Dingguo Mansion in Shanhu Pass and the Fourth Prince's warehouse had contributed.

The large number of medicinal herbs in Prince Ji’s mansion was the final push.

Of course, this kind of body-refining technique can also be achieved by using a small amount of medicinal herbs, and then relying on one's own hard work to polish the body and constantly exercising day and night.

That would be more effective, after all, that body was built through the slow process of perseverance.

But if that's the case, reaching the third level at best is the limit.

There are also some people who have spent their entire lives relying on a lot of medicinal herbs, coupled with physical training, to be able to reach the fourth level is a heaven-defying existence.

But Ning Yi doesn't have that much time to exercise, so he might as well just absorb the herbs directly.

Ning Yi sat down to drink a cup of tea, and suddenly asked leisurely: "Do you think the old emperor really didn't practice this "Body Refining Art"? "

This is where he is most suspicious.

The old emperor used to look critically ill and seemed like he would lie down at any moment.

Moreover, he vomited blood from time to time, which disturbed many princes and ministers. They were all very busy, recruiting soldiers and expanding their strength. They were quite diligent.

But recently, I can't seem to have any illness, just coughing from time to time.

Ning Yi practiced the "Body Refining Art" and he could absolutely guarantee that he could tell that the Martial Emperor was really coughing and not pretending.

However, those who have practiced the "Conjoined Body Art" also know that some illnesses can really be disguised and all the doctors cannot detect them.

Now Ning Yi seriously suspected that the old guy was practicing the body refining technique and pretending to be sick, or he wanted to be lazy and practice well in the palace.

Or they just want to get rid of all those who are trying to cause trouble.

As for the question Ning Yi asked, Zeng Rou packed up her things, stood quietly by the side, and shook her head slightly: "Your Highness, Rou'er only saw His Majesty briefly once in the palace last time, and I was just a maid of the prince's wife. I didn't dare to watch casually, and Rou'er didn't dare to speculate casually."

Ning Yi looked at her but didn't ask anything.

Zeng Rou has this kind of personality. In this prince's mansion, everyone knows that she is a maid whom Ning Yi trusts and cares about very much, and everyone will give her face.

But Zeng Rou is very low-key and never takes the initiative to cause trouble. She cleans many things herself and dares not delegate them to others.

Every time he saw any of the prince's wives, he would kneel down respectfully and salute.

At first, Yang Ziqin disliked her in every way. She thought she was a wild woman brought back from a brothel by the prince, just a vixen.

However, Yang Ziqin ignored her now, and she knew how important she was to Ning Yi. It was seriously unworthy for such a maid to be scolded by her husband.

As for A Luo, the Ninth Princess, she was much nicer to Zeng Rou and often gave her gifts.

But Zeng Rou would report to Ning Yi every time.

Ning Yi always said, just accept these gifts and don’t tell me.

But Zeng Rou never tires of reminding Ning Yi every time when he is resting.

It can be said that Zeng Rou, the personal maid, did a very good job and was worthy of Ning Yi's trust.

Ning Yi also promised her that he would give her a legitimate identity in the future, which was enough.

Qin Haifeng frowned slightly, and the tall, dark-faced man said thoughtfully, "Your Highness, please forgive my boldness."

"There are no outsiders here, so it's okay." Ning Yi took a sip of tea leisurely and said comfortably.

Although he had just taken a bath, which was very comfortable and had greatly increased his strength, he was also very thirsty.

Drinking a cup of herbal tea now makes me feel extremely comfortable.

The weather has started to get hotter, and even the summer harvest has started everywhere. Naturally, there are many things to beat the heat in the prince's mansion.

What's more, he, the Sixteenth Prince, uses the best.

Qin Haifeng bowed and said, "Your Highness, I think Your Majesty has definitely practiced."

"but……"

"You say." Ning Yi put down the teacup and asked.

After all, Qin Haifeng was just a guard, not a prince, so he usually didn't dare to be disrespectful to the emperor. Sometimes when Ning Yi called him "old emperor" or "old guy", he would just listen and not take it seriously.
