434 He’s Unfathomable

Su Xiaolu did not hide anything and told the truth.

Su Xiaoling sighed. “Xiaolu, what kind of person is Zhou Zhi?”

Su Xiaoling had never seen Zhou Zhi before. She had only heard of him from this ridiculous story. She was also sad for him, but she was more afraid that Zhou Zhi would hurt Zhou Heng.

Su Xiaolu thought of Zhou Zhi and sighed helplessly. She said, “Sister, Zhou Zhi is quite strange. I don’t think anyone can see through him.”

Zhou Zhi was different from them. He probably wouldn’t open his heart to anyone.

The side he was showing now was only the side he wanted people to see. This was Su Xiaolu’s deepest feeling since she came into contact with him.

“Xiaolu, if he doesn’t hurt Brother Heng, it means that he cares about Brother Heng in his heart. He just won’t say it out loud. He’s actually the same as us.”

Su Xiaoling frowned slightly and said what she was thinking.

She analyzed according to what she knew. If Zhou Zhi really could not tolerate Zhou Heng, it was impossible for him to let Zhou Heng enter the capital. If he did not kill him, it meant that he had never thought of killing him.

If he didn’t kill him at such a time, Zhou Zhi wasn’t scary at all. Others said that he was scary and that he had a nearly demonic scheme, but it was just that others had transformed him into a fiendish demon.

Zhou Zhi was just an ordinary person. Like all of them, he had an ordinary body and feelings.

“Sis, what you said makes sense.”

Su Xiaolu thought about these words and nodded in agreement.

“I should detoxify him soon. I’ll observe him more then.”

Su Xiaolu said seriously. As long as she wanted to understand someone, she would definitely be able to understand them completely if she observed them carefully.

Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Don’t work too hard. When he needs medicine and food, I can help. He’s Brother Heng’s younger brother. I also hope that he can get better and live well.”

Su Xiaolu nodded.

She saved Zhou Zhi because he was Zhou Heng’s younger brother in the first place.

“Xiaolu, go to sleep.”

Su Xiaoling gently massaged Su Xiaolu’s shoulders and arms.

Su Xiaolu felt comfortable and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Su Xiaolu woke up and went to pick up Zhou Heng with Su Chong and Qi Xingfeng.

On the way, Qi Xingfeng was still a little worried that Zhou Zhi would kill Zhou Heng last night.

However, when they arrived outside the residence, they did not have to wait long before Zhou Heng walked out unscathed.

Zhou Zhi followed him out.

The two of them stood together and were about the same height. The moment they came out, Qi Xingfeng suddenly sighed. “They look alike.”

At this moment, Zhou Zhi and Zhou Heng looked very similar. One look and one could tell that they were brothers, although their appearances were completely different.

However, they were biological brothers. Even if they did not look alike, they gave off the same feeling. This was probably the indescribable blood relationship. Real biological brothers could be recognised at a glance.

“Good morning, Xiaolu.”

Zhou Zhi smiled at Su Xiaolu and greeted her softly.

“Morning.”

Su Xiaolu returned a sweet smile.

“Let’s go together. Coincidentally, I’m going to the Grand General’s residence as well.”

Zhou Zhi spoke calmly to Qi Xingfeng and Su Chong. His calm expression made it impossible to tell his emotions.

“Ah Zhi, you…”

Zhou Heng did not know what Zhou Zhi wanted to do. When he woke up in the morning, he had breakfast with Zhou Zhi. The two of them did not say a word throughout. The only thing they said was before the guard came to report, he said, “It’s about time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard came to report and the two of them left the residence.

Zhou Heng did not know what Zhou Zhi wanted to do. Zhou Heng asked. Zhou Zhi did not look at him. Instead, he said to Qi Xingfeng and the others, “Let’s go.”

“Please.”

Su Chong made an inviting gesture.

They would naturally know what Zhou Zhi wanted to do later.

Zhou Zhi got into the carriage and his guards, Jin Wu and Jin Si, drove the carriage away.

Su Chong and the others also got into the carriage while Qi Xingfeng drove the carriage back to the residence.

On the way, Su Chong asked Zhou Heng, “Brother Heng, was there any danger last night?”

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, “No, I fell asleep after returning to the residence. Nothing happened. I only know that Ah Zhi won’t kill me. I don’t know what he wants to do.”

“It’s fine. Don’t think too much. Everything will be resolved.”

Su Chong comforted Zhou Heng. Last night, Zhou Heng had already gone to Zhou Zhi’s residence, but Zhou Zhi had not done anything. Could it be that Brother Hua’s guess was right?

Zhou Zhi actually wanted to push Zhou Heng to the throne?

However, this was just a guess. Zhou Zhi’s thoughts were too complicated. Before reaching that step, they really did not know what he wanted to do.

Qi Xingfeng, who was driving the carriage, shook his head in distress. It was really a headache.

Fortunately, he and his brother were not like this.

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt that the Second Prince was quite pitiful.

The carriage returned to the residence.

The group alighted from the carriage and so did Zhou Zhi.

They entered the residence together.

The servant had already gone to report.

When General Qi found out that Zhou Zhi was also here, he immediately frowned. “What is he doing here?”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were a little worried. They did not know how to face Zhou Heng’s brother, Zhou Zhi.

General Qi said, “Mianmian, this has nothing to do with you. Don’t get involved. Go back to your room first.”

Su Xiaoling took the initiative to say, “Great-grandfather, I want to stay.”

General Qi looked at Su Xiaoling and nodded. “You can stay.”

After saying that, General Qi said to Father Qi and Mother Qi, “You guys go down too. Don’t get involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with you.”

The involvement was complicated. The fewer people involved, the better.

As for his two grandsons, they were going to be court officials in the future. The Second Prince would be involved no matter who the throne belonged to, so it was better to know more about him.

After Father Qi, Mother Qi, Su Sanlang, and Madam Zhao left, Zhou Zhi and the others arrived at the main room.

Seeing General Qi, Zhou Zhi nodded slightly and said, “How is Grand General Qi’s health?”

General Qi also replied stiffly, “Thank you for your concern, Second Prince. I am in good health.”

Zhou Zhi smiled and nodded. “That’s good.”

“Please have a seat, Second Prince.”

General Qi invited Zhou Zhi to sit down.

He looked at Qi Xingfeng and the others. After everyone sat down, General Qi looked at Zhou Zhi and said, “The Second Prince never visits unless you need something. Let’s not beat around the bush. Just tell me why you’re here.”

Zhou Zhi smiled faintly and said, “The general is straightforward, so I’ll be straightforward too. I want to put on a show with you. When the palace examination ends and starts, the result of this show will be that Zhou Heng can recover his status as the eldest son of the royal family.”

After Zhou Zhi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Su Hua looked at Zhou Zhi and said, “Then may I ask how this show will be acted and who will cooperate? If Zhou Heng can recover his identity because of this, what benefits can you obtain from it, Your Highness, the Second Prince?”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Hua and smiled.
