As he spoke, Zhou Zhi lifted his robe. He turned down his boots, revealing a cold skeleton. He let Su Xiaolu know that his legs were really gone. Then, he put down his robe.
After putting down the robe, Zhou Zhi smiled at Su Xiaolu. “Tell me about my poisoning.”
Su Xiaolu frowned slightly. “You’re full of poison. There’s too much poison in you. Your body seems to have reached a balance point. It’s not good to destroy it rashly. I can only concoct some nourishing medicine for you.”
Detoxification was too complicated. She did not know how many years it would take. It was impossible for her to be by Zhou Zhi’s side all the time. It was hard to say if Zhou Zhi could live until the detoxification was complete.
This made Su Xiaolu feel very troubled.
Zhou Zhi’s expression was calm. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or not. He was not angry at what Su Xiaolu said. He accepted it calmly and nodded with a faint smile. “Alright, thank you.”
Zhou Zhi took out a banknote and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “This is the consultation fee.”
“Then wait a moment. I’ll write a prescription for you. Just take the medicine prescribed in it.”
Su Xiaolu got up to get a pen and paper and quickly wrote the prescription for Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi waited quietly. He was very quiet, so quiet that sometimes she felt that he didn’t exist.
He clearly did not do anything dangerous, but Su Xiaolu still felt uncomfortable.
She wrote a prescription to nourish his body and only wanted to send Zhou Zhi away as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhi took the prescription, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He put the prescription away and looked at Su Xiaolu as he asked, “Miss Su, tell me about Zhou Heng. What was he like back then?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi’s gaze was calm. When he saw her looking over, he even smiled.
What kind of true colors were hidden under such a calm expression?
This should be his pain. What was he thinking when he mentioned it so calmly?
Su Xiaolu frowned. Her face turned cold and she asked directly, “What do you mean? I don’t care if you hate him to the core and want his life. This has nothing to do with me. Let me tell you, I don’t have the time to deal with you. If you want to find trouble with me, let’s talk openly.”
Su Xiaolu clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes to warn Zhou Zhi, “Your fists are weak, but mine are not. I can kill you with one punch.”
Zhou Zhi was stunned. He looked at Su Xiaolu and said sadly, “Miss Su, actually, I don’t hate him. I just want to know if he’s still alive. Mother misses him very much. I don’t know how to explain it to you. You won’t believe me even if I said that I don’t want his life, so I won’t ask anymore.”
Zhou Zhi stood up and cupped his hands. “Thank you for treating me. I’ll leave now. If you know where he is, help me tell him that I won’t hurt him. I hope he can return to the capital as soon as possible. As for whether he believes me or not, it’s up to him. Miss Su, we’ll meet again if fate allows it.”
After saying that, Zhou Zhi did not stay any longer and walked out.
Su Xiaolu looked at his thin back. She had a poisonous needle in her hand. As long as she injected him, she could get rid of him forever.
He was full of poison to begin with. Her poison needle was the poison that she had just dipped in with a pen and paper. The bee poison she had extracted could destroy the balance of his body. If Zhou Zhi went back, he would go to hell in less than a year.
Moreover, it could not be traced back to her. However, until Zhou Zhi disappeared from her sight, Su Xiaolu did not use the poison needle in her hand.
Zhou Zhi left and Su Xiaolu slowly followed.
When Zhou Zhi left the inn, a carriage was waiting for him. He got into the carriage and left. Su Xiaolu hid among the pedestrians and followed him.
In the carriage, Zhou Zhi’s eyes were closed and he was expressionless.
“Master, a woman is following us.”
Jin Er, who was driving the carriage, said to the carriage.
Zhou Zhi opened his eyes and said coldly, “Ignore her. Let her follow us. We’ve been out for a while. We’ll go back and pack up before returning to the capital. The chaos in Su Lin has also subsided. After this matter is settled, it’s time to return to the capital.”
He had come to calm the chaos, but the heavens had given him a huge surprise.
He didn’t need to do anything else.
‘Zhou Heng, see you in the capital.’
Zhou Zhi reached out and touched the prescription in his arms. He frowned slightly and his eyes darkened. He smiled self-deprecatingly.
In this world, all the good luck seemed to be given to Zhou Heng. But so what? Could he hold the things that were given to him firmly?

Su Xiaolu followed the carriage and watched as it stopped at the entrance of a manor. Zhou Zhi did not get out. Only one guard entered the manor. Soon, a few guards came out with some packages.
Some of them rode horses, and two of them drove carriages.
‘Leaving again?’
Su Xiaolu followed quietly. She wanted to see where they were going.
What Su Xiaolu did not expect was that the carriage was leaving the city. Was he leaving already?
Su Xiaolu was a little depressed. She followed him out of the city and saw that the carriage was getting further and further away on the official road. She did not return to the city but waited until nighttime.
Zhou Zhi actually left. Su Xiaolu was at a loss.
Not long after she entered the city, she met Su Hua, who was looking for her. When he saw Su Xiaolu, Su Hua heaved a sigh of relief. “Xiaolu, where did you go? Miss Wang said that you weren’t at the inn all day.”
Su Xiaolu told Su Hua what had happened. After saying that, she asked gloomily, “Second Brother, what do you think he’s thinking? He said that he didn’t want Zhou Heng’s life. Is that possible? He clearly still suspects that I know Zhou Heng’s whereabouts, but he left all of a sudden. What does that mean?”
Su Xiaolu could not figure it out. Zhou Zhi’s actions were too messy in her opinion.
Su Hua also frowned. “Xiaolu, I can’t guess either. He left too quickly, as if we were just thinking too much. He came here because he had something to do. He happened to meet you and suspected you but couldn’t see through you. Also, he might not want to become enemies with you.”
The divine doctors of Minggu were not unknown. It was normal for Zhou Zhi not to want to become enemies with her. Perhaps he wanted to test her. Seeing that Su Xiaolu suddenly turned hostile, he retreated nimbly and did not waste any time.
As for whether Zhou Zhi saw anything, Su Hua could not guess. Logically speaking, Zhou Zhi should not have retreated so decisively.
Such a way of doing things could only mean that Zhou Zhi’s thoughts were complex. He could not be seen through by them so easily.
They didn’t dare to relax when he was here, nor when he left.
Su Hua sighed. “No matter what his motive is, let’s be careful from now on.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes, this person is really annoying and weird.”
Because they met Zhou Zhi, they became unhappy.
Su Hua said to Su Xiaolu, “Let’s go to East Street to meet Zijin. He’s also out looking for you. Let’s go back to the inn first.”
