It happened so suddenly and no one else was present, and it was impossible for Su Xiaolu to poison Minister Li to death.

In addition, Minister Li died with tears in his eyes. It was both a guess and a fact.

Huang Xingliang fell to the table. He wanted to flare up and sigh. His emotions were too complicated, and he did not know what to say.

Minister Li died after taking the poison. He had no value, and the plague would become even more troublesome.

There was no time to lose. Huang Xingliang came back to his senses and immediately rushed to meet Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi had just fallen asleep. Jin Wu and Jin Qi didn’t want to tell him, but this matter was urgent. They coldly listened to Huang Xingliang before waking Zhou Zhi up.

Huang Xingliang told Zhou Zhi everything and lowered his head. “Your Highness, that’s what happened.”

Zhou Zhi’s eyes were terrifyingly cold. After a while, he said, “I understand. You can leave. Make sure to guard the city. We can’t slack off on patrolling.”

No one expected such a thing to happen. It was too unexpected.

Huang Xingliang retreated.

Zhou Zhi instructed Jin Wu, “Jin Wu, bring me the prosthesis. I’m going out.”

Jin Wu frowned and disobeyed the order. “Master, Mr. Wu said that you can’t walk anymore. Otherwise, the wound will rupture…”

“I know, but I’m going out. I know what I’m doing. Go get it.”

Zhou Zhi interrupted Jin Wu. He knew about his body, but he still wanted to go out. He thought that she should be somewhere. He told himself that he would just go for a while. If she wasn’t around, he would go back.

He would just treat it as watching the will of the heavens.

Zhou Zhi was determined. Jin Wu had no choice but to take the prosthesis and put it on Zhou Zhi. Jin Wu bent down and carried Zhou Zhi out.

Before Zhou Zhi went out, Doctor Wu chased after him in a hurry. He gritted his teeth in exasperation. “No, no. Whoever dares to carry Master out of the house will harm Master’s life. Master is impulsive. Why are you guys messing around too?”

Jin Qi also followed Doctor Wu. He also wanted to persuade Zhou Zhi.

However, Zhou Zhi’s eyes were firm as he ordered, “Jin Qi, send Doctor Wu back to his room to rest.”

There was worry in Jin Qi’s eyes, but he could only listen to him and stop Doctor Wu.

Doctor Wu stomped his feet in anger. “She’s just a woman. What’s so good about her? There are so many women in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why do you have to be inflexible and stubborn? Alright, alright—you guys let him go today. If anything really happens, I’ll see what you guys can do!”

No matter how exasperated Doctor Wu was, Zhou Zhi still went out.

Even if he did not walk, he was sweating from the pain. The wounds on his legs made him feel a heart-wrenching pain, but he never cried out in pain. After sitting in the carriage, he instructed coldly, “Jin Wu, go to that residence. She should be there.”

Jin Wu drove the carriage over and the carriage swayed. Zhou Zhi’s face was pale and his breathing was heavy.

When the carriage arrived outside the house where Su Chong and the others lived, Su Xiaolu was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Zhi lifted the curtain and frowned. Su Xiaolu was not back.

Where else could she go?

After looking around, Jin Wu spoke again, “Master, you can’t do this anymore.”

There was no color on Zhou Zhi’s face. He needed to rest. He had walked too much since he came to Furongzhou.

Zhou Zhi’s eyes were deep and extremely dark. He said coldly, “Search along the city.”

Bullsh*t. He did not believe in the heavens. He had to find Su Xiaolu. Even if they were not fated, he had to force her to stand beside him.

If he believed in God’s will, he would have died long ago.

Zhou Zhi refused to return to the residence, so Jin Wu had no choice but to search along the city.

Due to the plague, the entire city was under martial law. There was only the sound of carriage wheels on the empty streets.

When he saw Su Xiaolu walking aimlessly on the street, Jin Wu’s eyes lit up. He heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally found her.

Zhou Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Su Xiaolu.

Jin Wu drove the carriage to Su Xiaolu and stopped. Zhou Zhi got out of the carriage. He looked at the tears on Su Xiaolu’s face and gulped. “Xiaolu, come here.”

Su Xiaolu was on the verge of a breakdown. Her mind was a mess as if she did not know anything. When she heard the voice, she slowly walked over.

Zhou Zhi reached out and touched Su Xiaolu’s hair. “Xiaolu, don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine…”

Before Zhou Zhi could speak, Su Xiaolu fell into his arms and lost consciousness.

Zhou Zhi could not hold Su Xiaolu at all. He fell to the ground under her weight and subconsciously protected her.

Su Xiaolu fell to the ground unscathed. Zhou Zhi gasped in pain and his voice trembled. “Jin Wu, return to the residence.”

Jin Wu had already rushed over. Under Zhou Zhi’s instructions, he carried Su Xiaolu to the carriage and then Zhou Zhi to the carriage.

When they returned to the residence, Zhou Zhi was already unconscious.

As soon as Jin Wu returned, the few people in the residence immediately surrounded him. Doctor Wu cursed, but he still checked Zhou Zhi.

Looking at Su Xiaolu, who was on the bed, Doctor Wu gritted his teeth. “You’re willing to die for this woman? I’m so angry… All the noble ladies in the capital are prettier than her.”

No one could answer Doctor Wu’s question, so they all remained silent.

They were Zhou Zhi’s guards and were loyal to him. They would only listen to any decision Zhou Zhi made. It was impossible for them to have any feelings in this life, so there was no way to answer this question.

However, after being with Zhou Zhi for so many years, they had never seen him so concerned about anyone and even disregarded his own life.

Looking at the unconscious Su Xiaolu, Jin Wu asked, “Doctor Wu, is she alright?”

Doctor Wu said angrily, “What can happen to her? She’s in good health and as strong as an ox. She just lost consciousness in a moment of sadness.”

Su Xiaolu was in good health. She fainted because she was too sad.

At the thought of this, Doctor Wu was even more puzzled by Zhou Zhi’s actions. His body was extremely weak. It was infuriating that he worried more about a healthy person than for himself.

Doctor Wu was filled with anger. He disliked everyone.

Jin Wu and the others were silent. As long as Su Xiaolu was fine.

Doctor Wu left angrily.

Jin Qi looked at Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi, who were sleeping together, and said, “Are we just going to let her and Master stay like this?”

Jin Wu pondered for a moment and said, “Master cares about her. She’s not young either. If she wakes up and sees this, she might be unhappy. I’ll carry her to the outer room. It’s close. If Master wants to see her when she wakes up, it’s also convenient.”

Jin Wu carried Su Xiaolu to the outer room and settled her down. He looked at Su Xiaolu’s teary eyelashes and sighed. Although Minister Li died with grievances, he had really seriously hurt Su Xiaolu.

After settling down, they retreated out the door.

When Su Xiaolu woke up, she was a little confused. She was in a daze for a moment before she remembered that she owed Zhou Zhi a favor. She got out of bed and opened the door to see Jin Wu. She said, “I’ll leave first. When I develop the antidote for the plague, I’ll detoxify all the poison in your master’s body.”
