Zhou Zhi nodded. He looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Miss Su, let’s go.”

Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi left together. After getting into the carriage, Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and circulated her Internal Breath.

She thought that Zhou Zhi would be like before and not speak along the way. Everyone would quietly go to Minister Li’s house to check if there were any clues.

However, not long after the carriage left, Zhou Zhi said, “Xiaolu, I went to see your brother and the rest last night. I told them that the city would be sealed and told them not to worry about you. Just stay behind closed doors.”

Su Xiaolu’s Internal Breath was in chaos. She retracted her Internal Breath and opened her eyes. She looked at Zhou Zhi and saw that he was smiling. Su Xiaolu said calmly, “Thank you.”

Zhou Zhi smiled lightly and said gently, “No need to thank me. Your medical skills are extremely good. I want to be friends with you. It’s naturally not convenient for you to report your safety since you’re partic.i.p.ating in the plague. I just did it conveniently.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. His expression was gentle and he was smiling. The way he looked at people was also very sincere, as if what he said was true.

For a moment, Su Xiaolu could not tell if he was serious or if he had other motives.

She couldn’t understand or see through Zhou Zhi.

“Thanks anyway.”

Su Xiaolu said seriously. Since she could not understand him, she would treat his kindness as real. It was indeed inconvenient for her to tell her brother that she was safe. Zhou Zhi was powerful, so it was naturally convenient for him.

The fact that he could say this proved that he had not done anything to her brother and the rest. Just based on this, she thanked him sincerely.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu with a smile in his eyes. He asked softly, “Xiaolu, can we be friends?”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu, and Su Xiaolu looked back at him. Su Xiaolu said, “Sure.”

As long as he was like this, as long as he did not hurt her family.

Su Xiaolu took out a bottle from her cloth bag. She poured out a pill and handed it to Zhou Zhi. “Your body is weak. This is a pill made of Snow Herb and Ghost Orchid. It can nourish your body and extend your life. Eat it.”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu with a hesitant expression.

Su Xiaolu was already a little regretful. She remembered Zhou Zhi’s ident.i.ty and situation. He probably wouldn’t trust people easily. It wasn’t good for him not to take it.

However, if Zhou Zhi didn’t want such an expensive thing, she had to keep it well. One pill could be worth thousands of taels. She was also muddle-headed. Why did she suddenly take it out and give it to him?

Su Xiaolu was about to retract her hand when Zhou Zhi reached out and took the pill from Su Xiaolu’s palm. He put it under his mask and ate it. He said calmly, “It’s a little bitter and hard. It’s a little hard to chew.”

Zhou Zhi spoke seriously about the feeling of taking medicine.

At first, he was a little hesitant, but he still chose to believe her. When the medicine entered his mouth, he knew that it was good.

There was a smile in his deep eyes as he shared his feelings with Su Xiaolu seriously.

Su Xiaolu was stunned. Then, she muttered, “Who asked you to chew? This medicine can be swallowed. It’s not a big pill. The medicine is not delicious to begin with. It will definitely not taste good if you chew it.”

Zhou Zhi believed her. So be it.

However, Su Xiaolu was shocked when he chewed the medicine.

The reason why she and the old man made pills was the same as Medicinal cuisine. It was impossible for it to be delicious. The pills were small, and they were all swallowed with water. She had never seen them chew.

“Really? I didn’t know that was the case. I blame myself.”

Zhou Zhi said with a smile after swallowing the bitter medicine. When he smiled, his eyes curved slightly.

At this moment, Su Xiaolu felt that Zhou Zhi was a human too. She smiled too. “Of course it’s your fault. Just remember to swallow the pill next time.”

Zhou Zhi nodded.

Su Xiaolu lowered her eyes. Zhou Zhi looked at her and asked, “Xiaolu, do you know how to make Medicinal cuisine?”

After asking, he smiled and answered his own question. “Look at what I’m asking. How can you not know how to make Medicinal cuisine?”

Su Xiaolu smiled lightly to show that she didn’t mind. She said, “I know how to, but it doesn’t taste good.”

Zhou Zhi asked tightly, “That’s not up to you. I’ve never eaten it before, so I reserve my opinion.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. She thought about Zhou Zhi’s health and thought that he could eat some Medicinal cuisine. She said, “You can also eat Medicinal cuisine for your body. When the plague is resolved, I’ll make some Medicinal cuisine for you later. If you want to try it, I can make it into a pancake. You can bring it back then. It can last for a long time.”

Medicinal cuisine pancakes were like dry flatbreads. They could be kept for a long time when brought back. Generally speaking, they could stay well for three months.

There was no harm in Zhou Zhi’s body eating Medicinal cuisine.

Perhaps it was because he and Zhou Heng were twins and because she knew about his miserable experience, Su Xiaolu actually sympathized with Zhou Zhi. If there was no conflict, she did not mind treating him better.

Zhou Zhi nodded with a smile. “Alright, thank you, Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaolu nodded. She felt much better than before.

Zhou Zhi stopped staring at her.

Zhou Zhi lowered his eyes and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. When he looked up at Su Xiaolu, he smiled. As long as he was kind, Su Xiaolu treated him very well.

The carriage stopped and they arrived at Minister Li’s house.

Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu got out of the carriage. The door of Minister Li’s mansion was closed.

Jin Wu knocked on the door as usual.

Logically speaking, Minister Li’s residence was so big, so there should be a manservant guarding the door. Even if he requested to close the door, the manservant guarding the door should be there.

However, Jin Wu did not get an answer for a long time.

Jin Wu kept knocking on the door. Jin Wu shouted, “Is anyone here? Please open the door and cooperate with the government.”

There was no response. Jin Wu looked at Zhou Zhi and asked him if he needed to climb over the wall to take a look.

Zhou Zhi looked at the Li residence and was about to nod.

A voice came from the Li residence. “Who is it? Stop knocking—”

When someone came, Jin Wu silently retreated to the side.

Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu walked forward and waited for the door to open.

“Who is it? What’s the matter?”

The manservant did not open the door immediately. Instead, he ran to the door and asked through it.

Zhou Zhi said, “The government is investigating a case. Please open the door and cooperate with the investigation.”

Upon hearing that it was the government, the manservant opened the door.

After opening the door, the manservant looked at Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu and then at Jin Wu, who had a sword. He suspected their ident.i.ties.

Jin Wu took out his waist token and extended it to the manservant. With a cold expression, he said, “Look carefully. I’m a first-grade armed guard of the royal family. The person in front of you is the second prince of the current dynasty.”

The manservant looked at the dark token and then at Zhou Zhi’s cold and heavy aura. He knew very well that this was not someone he could afford to offend. He hurriedly knelt down and said in fear, “Second Prince, please forgive me. I was blind.”

Zhou Zhi said calmly, “Those who don’t know are innocent. Get up and reply.”
