Su Chong and the others next door also revealed relaxed expressions.

Su Chong stretched and said, “It’s time to eat. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

“Zijin, who made your dinner?”

Su Chong looked at Liu Zijin and asked.

Liu Zijin smiled and said, “The attendant who entered the capital with me.”

“Let’s eat at my house and try my mother’s cooking.”

Su Chong said to Liu Zijin.

Liu Zijin smiled and said, “I’ll definitely do it another day. They’re tired after coming to the capital today. They should rest first.”

This was the first time Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and Su Xiaoling had seen him. They did not know him that well. When they got familiar with each other in the future, they would not feel uncomfortable eating together.

Su Chong was a straightforward person and would not think of these details, but he had to think about them.

“Young Master, it’s time to eat.”

At this moment, Liu Zijin’s attendant came to call him for dinner. Liu Zijin smiled and nodded. He patted Su Chong’s shoulder and sent him out.

Su Hua and Zhou Heng nodded and went back next door.

After sending them off, Liu Zijin said to his attendant, “Fugui, take good care of the neighbor next door.”

“Young Master, don’t worry. I will.”

Fugui agreed with a smile.

Liu Zijin then turned around to eat.

Fugui’s culinary skills were average, so Liu Zijin ate slowly.

Fugui was a little embarrassed. He had not controlled the fire well today and the dishes were burnt. He suggested to Liu Zijin, “Young Master, why don’t we hire a chef?”

Liu Zijin smiled and shook her head. He said, “No need. You did quite well.”

Compared to the chefs in the mansion, he was definitely inferior. However, compared to ordinary families, this meal could be said to be sumptuous. He would not forget the days he had lived. It was not something that he could forget after a few years.

Liu Zijin was easygoing and easy to take care of, but Fugui was embarrassed.

At this moment, Su Sanlang’s family also began to eat.

Su Xiaolu had just woken up and had a bowl of refreshing soup. The tomatoes inside were sour, so she drank them slowly.

The family sat down and everyone ate quietly.

Su Xiaoling sat beside Su Xiaolu and picked up the tenderest fish belly for her to eat.

Su Xiaolu ate slowly.

There was a knock on the door.

Su Xiaolu immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

They had just entered the capital and did not know anyone in the capital. Who could it be?

Su Xiaolu and Liu Zijin opened the door at the same time and saw a familiar face. It was Jin Si, Zhou Zhi’s guard.

He looked anxious and looked at Su Xiaolu. “Miss Su, please forgive me for disturbing you, but my master’s situation is really dangerous. Please go over and save his life.”

If there was a way, he would not have come to look for Su Xiaolu so quickly. This was no different from telling Su Xiaolu that their whereabouts were all under Zhou Zhi’s control.

Jin Si was afraid that Su Xiaolu would be angry and refuse to go. He lowered his head and begged, “Miss Su, as long as you can save my master’s life, you can ask for anything.”

Doctor Wu really had no choice. If he could not find a way to suppress the poison, Zhou Zhi would die from the poison.

Jin Si was not sure if Su Xiaolu would agree. He was even prepared to threaten the Su family with their lives.

Su Xiaolu said calmly, “Wait for me. I’ll go with you after I get my things.”

She woke up from her doze.

Su Xiaolu returned to the main room and said to Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, “Father, mother, I have a patient. I’ll go see him first. Coincidentally, I’m full too. I might not be back tonight. Don’t worry about me.”

With that, Su Xiaolu went to her room to get the medical kit.

Su Hua came to send her out.

When Jin Si saw Su Hua, he greeted him respectfully. “Greetings, Young Master Su.”

Su Hua tidied Su Xiaolu’s clothes and said gently, “Xiaolu, come back as soon as possible.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Second Brother.”

She was not someone to be trifled with.

Su Hua nodded and Su Xiaolu left.

Jin Si brought Su Xiaolu into the carriage and left quickly.

Liu Zijin looked apologetic and said to Su Hua, “Ah Hua, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that they…”

Before Liu Zijin could finish, Su Hua waved her hand and said, “It’s not your fault. It’s okay. Xiaolu is not an ordinary person. He still hopes that Xiaolu will save his life and won’t do anything to her. My Uncle-Master is extremely protective.”

If Zhou Zhi dared to attack Su Xiaolu, he would face the revenge of the entire Minggu.

Everyone knew how much Old Wu doted on Su Xiaolu, his only disciple. Although Old Wu never said anything, everyone knew.

Old Wu was not a broad-minded person. He only knew how to love some people.

Su Hua was not worried about Su Xiaolu going. He was worried about Zhou Heng.

Their family moved under Zhou Zhi’s watch. Zhou Zhi was well-versed in scheming, and Zhou Heng was the one in danger.

“Zijin, there are too many variables in this Second Prince. You have to be careful too.”

Su Hua told Liu Zijin that Zhou Zhi had noticed Liu Zijin because of them.

And these crises were brought to Liu Zijin by them.

Liu Zijin smiled and said, “It’s fine. I didn’t offend him. I’m not an unknown person. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I won’t give him a chance.”

“Hurry up and go back to eat. Look at how anxious that guard is. Perhaps the second prince’s condition isn’t good… Everything is predestined.”

Liu Zijin looked at the sky and said to Su Hua, “Zhou Zhi is different from Zhou Heng. He doesn’t have a healthy body. As long as we guard against his underhanded moves and don’t give him a chance, it’s very likely that he will die.”

Su Hua nodded. He had the same thought.

Everything was predestined.

The two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly before going home to close the door.

The carriage stopped at the prince’s residence.

Su Xiaolu got out of the carriage and Jin Si immediately brought her into the residence.

Jin Si was anxious. He walked as if he was about to take off. He was afraid that Su Xiaolu would not be able to keep up, but every time he turned around, Su Xiaolu followed closely.

Jin Si heaved a sigh of relief. When he arrived at the main courtyard, the guards waiting outside looked happy when they saw Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu had seen them before. Jin Si, Jin Wu, Jin Qi, and Jin Er.

There were also unfamiliar faces that Su Xiaolu had never seen before.

After entering the house, Jin Si said to Doctor Wu, who was sitting in front of the bed, “Doctor Wu, Miss Su is here.”

Doctor Wu quickly got up and said to Su Xiaolu, “Miss Su, he’s not in a good state now. There are many poisons in his body. I used Gu to stabilize his heart meridians, but I can’t suppress these poisons.”

Zhou Zhi’s face was pale and his chest was bare. He was really thin and his sternum was protruding.

The lower half of the blanket collapsed from the knees down.

Su Xiaolu went forward to take Zhou Zhi’s pulse first. Zhou Zhi’s body temperature was hot, and his pulse was chaotic and disorderly. Sometimes, it would beat rapidly, and sometimes, it would not beat for a few seconds.

Su Xiaolu looked at the fat white worm on his chest. Only the end was tied with a hair-thin rope. The rest of it wriggled into Zhou Zhi’s heart.

Su Xiaolu took out her silver needles and quickly sealed Zhou Zhi’s lifelines. She said, “Make an ice bed. Bring him to the ice bed first.”
