Chapter 439 - 439 Not Poisoned

439 Not Poisoned

Everyone thought that it was Zhou Zhi who had delayed Zhou Heng’s return to the palace, but that was not the case.

The one who really did not want Zhou Heng to return to the palace was him, the emperor.

Because of this, Zhou Zhi could not even keep his legs. The palace was like a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. Now that the situation was stable and Zhou Heng had grown up, it was time for him to return.

Zhou Zhao’s gaze was deep. The True Dragons had descended from the Nine Heavens. This was the will of the heavens. His Great Zhou Dynasty would follow the will of the heavens and unify the world to create a peaceful golden age. From then on, there would no longer be a golden age of war in the world.

And this golden age would be started by Zhou Heng.

When Zhou Zhi entered the palace, Doctor Wu asked Jin San to invite Su Xiaolu over.

With the divine doctor around, if Zhou Zhi was poisoned in the palace and the poison became chaotic, Su Xiaolu could suppress it.

Su Xiaolu explained to her family and followed Jin San.

Jin San bowed to Su Xiaolu and thanked her respectfully. “Miss Su, thank you so much for being willing to go.”

They were afraid that after this period of time, Su Xiaolu would get tired of Zhou Zhi and be unwilling to save him. Fortunately, she was willing to save him.

Su Xiaolu smiled faintly. “It’s not like I’m wasting my effort for nothing. As long as you can afford it, I won’t leave you in the lurch. Every visit costs 1,000 taels. Life-saving treatments are charged according to the rules.”

She wouldn’t go against money. She hadn’t wanted to take money before, but she wanted to now.

She narrowed her eyes. “You can afford the consultation fees, right?”

Jin San nodded. “Yes.”

Money was one thing, but friendship was another.

Jin San wanted to apologize, but after thinking about it, he did not know how to say it. What kind of apology could he give?

“As long as you can afford it. Let’s go.”

Su Xiaolu got into the carriage.

Jin San scratched his head and swallowed his words in the end. He drove the carriage back to the residence.

They had no right to interfere in their master’s matters.

Su Xiaolu started waiting when she arrived at Zhou Zhi’s residence. There was good food and drinks.

When Zhou Zhi returned from the palace and got out of the carriage, Doctor Wu, who was waiting at the entrance of the residence, immediately shouted, “Quickly carry him into the residence to where Miss Su is.”

Zhou Zhi laughed.

Jin Liu and Jin Qi explained, “Doctor Wu, Master wasn’t poisoned this time. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Doctor Wu was puzzled. “That shouldn’t be the case.”

Every time the empress called him to eat, she would poison him. Moreover, the empress was greatly agitated. He would believe it even if she doubled the poison. He could not believe that she did not poison him.

Jin Qi said, “Master didn’t have any food in the palace.”

This time, Zhou Zhi did not eat the food prepared by the empress, so he was not poisoned.

Jin Liu added, “Master won’t eat there in the future.”

This was a good thing. If Zhou Zhi did not eat there, he would not be poisoned. When the poison was cured in the future, his body would be healthy.

Doctor Wu was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He laughed. “That’s great. The sun has risen from the west. No, I have to drink two pots of wine to celebrate later. My old bones finally have some peace. Congratulations.”

Finally, he no longer had to worry about whether Zhou Zhi would die or not.

This was a joyous occasion.

“Miss Su is in the residence?”

Zhou Zhi looked at Doctor Wu and asked.

Doctor Wu stopped smiling and nodded. “Yes.”

“She’s still willing to come.”

Zhou Zhi smiled.

Doctor Wu said seriously, “Miss Su didn’t come here for nothing. The consultation fee is 1,000 taels per trip. The treatment fees will be considered separately. With Master’s condition, it will probably cost tens of thousands of taels to cure the poison.”

She could have done it without spending any money, but she didn’t.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said calmly, “It’s fine.”

He did not care about this bit of silver.

“Send me to Miss Su.”

Zhou Zhi sat on the wooden wheelchair and spoke calmly. His smile was unclear, but the guards who had followed him for many years knew that he was in a good mood.

When Zhou Zhi arrived, he saw Su Xiaolu sleeping on the table. He raised his hand and gestured for everyone to leave.

He slowly turned the wooden wheelchair and entered. He stopped beside Su Xiaolu and looked at her quietly.

Su Xiaolu entered the Space to pack the herbs to make medicine.

She needed a lot of expensive herbs to detoxify Zhou Zhi. The herbs in the Space were nourished by a spiritual aura, so she planned to use all of them in the Space.

She couldn’t waste so many expensive herbs. She had to get Zhou Zhi to pay.

She knew when Zhou Zhi came in, but she didn’t open her eyes immediately.

She felt that Zhou Zhi was really strange. He came in without calling her. She could feel that he was looking at her.

What was he looking at? What was there to see? He was really a strange person.

Su Xiaolu ignored him and carefully dug out all kinds of herbs. The complete herbs, even the roots, were complete.

She planted some more seeds.

Su Xiaolu left the Space. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Zhi’s stunned expression.

“Xiaolu, you’re awake?”

Zhou Zhi smiled and said gently. He was only stunned for a moment just now, but he had already recovered.

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. “When did you come back? Are you alright? Your face looks a little pale.”

“Let me take your pulse. But let me make it clear first. I want to collect money. In serious situations, I need to give you acupuncture. One thousand taels per injection.”

Su Xiaolu said seriously. From now on, Zhou Zhi would not be treated for free.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Okay, thank you, Xiaolu.”

Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand.

Su Xiaolu put her hand on his wrist. His pulse was weak and his condition was stable. Su Xiaolu said, “You’re fine. You don’t look good. You must be tired.”

“Your people said that you went to the palace. Did you stand there?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi and asked.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Most of the time, I stand.”

Where the Empress was, he had always been standing.

“With your body, it’s best if you don’t stand.”

Su Xiaolu’s expression was serious. Zhou Zhi was weak and it would take a long time to detoxify. Without a strong physique, this was very troublesome.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Thank you, Xiaolu. After a while, I won’t have to keep standing.”

“Xiaolu, you said before that you would detoxify me after the New Year. When can we start?”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and asked. He was still smiling, but his hands were already clenched in his sleeves. He was nervous.

“Your body needs to recuperate for two months. We can start in May if you have enough money to pay for the consultation and medicine.”

Su Xiaolu also looked at Zhou Zhi and said seriously.

She was just short of saying that she wouldn’t treat him if he couldn’t pay.

Zhou Zhi was so smart, it was impossible for him not to understand.

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Alright, I’ll prepare the money. I’ll pay you 10,000 taels as consultation fees later.”

Money was never something he cared about.

“Sure.”

Su Xiaolu agreed casually, but she was guessing how rich Zhou Zhi was.
