Chapter 440 - 440 Nourishment
440 Nourishment
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. Goodbye.”
Zhou Zhi was not poisoned when he returned from the palace, and Su Xiaolu did not need to save him. She got up and prepared to go back.
Zhou Zhi nodded and personally sent Su Xiaolu out of the residence. Jin Liu sent over a small box containing banknotes, and Zhou Zhi personally handed it to Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu took the box and put it away before going home.
Coincidentally, a carriage arrived at this moment, so Su Xiaolu took a look.
A eunuch got out of the car, holding a box with both hands.
“Let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu said to Jin San. She was not that curious.
Zhou Zhi took the box and opened it. There was a piece of jade inside. Eunuch Lian, who came to give the gift, said with a smile, “Your Highness, I was personally instructed by the emperor to give it to you. This entire piece is warm jade. Does Your Highness like it?”
Zhou Zhi looked at the black and white jade in the box and his eyes darkened. He nodded lightly. “I like it very much. Please pass on the message to Father. I like it very much. Thank you for your gift, Father.”
“As long as Your Highness likes it.”
Eunuch Lian smiled. Seeing that Zhou Zhi had really taken a fancy to it, he said, “Your Highness, it’s said that this warm jade has a miraculous effect. Your Highness, you can carve it and wear it as soon as possible.”
Warm jade was really warm jade. It was warm and comfortable to the touch. It was unknown if it had any miraculous effects, but it was warm and comfortable.
“Okay.”
Zhou Zhi nodded. He picked up the jade pensively.
Eunuch Lian smiled and nodded. He could report back now.
Zhou Zhi returned to the residence and Doctor Wu came over very quickly.
Zhou Zhi threw the jade to him.
Doctor Wu picked it up and looked at it carefully. Then, he said, “It’s really a good thing. Such a big piece can be used to carve into many things.”
“It’s best if it’s in the middle. Take two pieces and polish them. It’s best if they’re embedded in your legs.”
Doctor Wu said as he looked at Zhou Zhi.
“Doctor Wu, you’re proficient in sculpting. Can you sculpt human eyes?”
Zhou Zhi asked Doctor Wu.
A warm jade, black and white, was also extremely rare. Su Sanlang had lost one eye. Although the prosthetic eye could not replace his real eye, he would not have to cover his eyes with one.
“Master, it’s possible, but it’s useless. This warm jade is rare, and it’s not very big. Why waste it as a human eye? If you like it, you can use other jade and jade to carve it. Why waste this warm jade?”
Doctor Wu’s face was filled with heartache. He was about to say that Zhou Zhi had wasted a treasure.
Why would he make a prosthetic eye for no reason? It was a waste of such a good thing.
Zhou Zhi looked at Doctor Wu and said, “Doctor Wu, make it into an ordinary human eye first. Miss Su’s father is missing an eye. You can use the rest as you see fit.”
Doctor Wu frowned. He wanted to endure it, but he couldn’t help but say, “Master, Miss Su isn’t close to us. We’ll even have to pay for your consultation in the future.”
‘Don’t do such a thankless thing. Just looking at it makes my heart ache.’
No matter what, he was still a high and mighty prince. How good would it be to find someone who could be grateful and respectful to him?
That little divine doctor was alive and kicking and was highly skilled in martial arts. It was obviously not easy to chase after her. How difficult would it be?
Doctor Wu touched his nose. Although he admired Su Xiaolu’s medical skills, that was all. Zhou Zhi was his master. He knew how to treat his master well.
“Doctor Wu, you’re not married. You won’t understand these things. Besides, I don’t like Miss.”
Zhou Zhi looked at Doctor Wu and said calmly. After saying that, he turned the wooden wheelchair and left without looking back.
Doctor Wu frowned and looked at the silent Jin Si. “He doesn’t like Miss Su?”
If he didn’t like her, why did he remember the little girl’s favorite food so clearly? How could he not be afraid of pain and put on a prosthesis to walk in front of her?
Jin Si chuckled and said, “Don’t look at me. It has nothing to do with me.”
The guards stepped aside.
Doctor Wu took a deep breath. “Hmph!”

Su Xiaolu returned to the Qi Manor.
Zhou Heng and the others were waiting for her.
“Xiaolu, how is he?”
Zhou Heng was a little worried.
“He’s fine. He didn’t eat anything in the palace this time. He’s not poisoned. He’s just a little weak from standing for too long. He’s fine.”
Su Xiaolu told the truth.
“That’s good.”
Zhou Heng heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she was fine.
Next, they had to prepare for the palace examination.
When they were sleeping at night, Su Xiaoling said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, what kind of medicinal cuisine is suitable for the Second Prince?”
“I’ll write a prescription for you tomorrow. Just make it as you see fit.”
Su Xiaolu yawned.
She had to start preparing the medicine.
If he ate it with medicinal cuisine, Zhou Zhi’s body would be better.
Su Xiaoling nodded. “Okay, let’s talk tomorrow. If you’re tired, sleep early.”
Su Xiaolu yawned again and nodded. She was really sleepy.
The next day, Su Xiaolu wrote a prescription for Su Xiaoling. Su Xiaoling used a clay pot to start making medicinal cuisine.
Su Xiaoling made pigeon soup, and the fragrance quickly wafted out.
Coupled with the herbs, a medicinal cuisine that could strengthen one’s muscles and bones was ready.
Su Xiaolu went to send them.
Jin Si and the others were very happy to see Su Xiaolu. They smiled and asked, “Miss Su, what did you bring? It smells so good.”
Zhou Zhi also echoed, “It does smell very fragrant and appetizing. Is it food?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “It’s medicinal cuisine. I sent it over today. From now on, send someone to get it every day.”
Su Xiaolu opened the food box and took it out. The casserole was still hot.
The lid was opened and the fragrance wafted out. Su Xiaolu handed the spoon to Zhou Zhi. “Eat it while it’s hot.”
Zhou Zhi took the spoon and drank the soup first.
The fragrance of the medicinal herbs and the fragrance of the food did not conflict. This was a medicinal cuisine that was also very delicious.
Seeing that Zhou Zhi had eaten, Su Xiaolu got up and went back. Before she left, she instructed, “Don’t forget to come and get it every day.”
“Okay, thank you, Xiaolu.”
Zhou Zhi smiled.
Su Xiaolu went out and Jin Liu immediately went forward to send her off.
Zhou Zhi ate the pigeon meat and pigeon soup and Doctor Wu came over very quickly.
Zhou Zhi only gave him a small pigeon leg.
Doctor Wu tasted it and frowned. “How strange. The medicinal properties are completely preserved without damaging the original freshness of the food. This kind of medicinal cuisine is simply amazing. If I remember correctly, Miss Su’s medicinal cuisine is worlds apart from this.”
Doctor Wu was very puzzled.
Zhou Zhi drank the soup and ate the meat. He said calmly, “It’s my first time eating it too. She said that she’ll have it every day in the future.”
“That’s a good thing.”
Doctor Wu found it unbelievable. Putting aside his doubts, this was a great thing.
Eating nourishment was better than nourishing medicine. It not only nourished the body but also nourished medicine.
Zhou Zhi finished the meat and soup and said to Mr. Wu, “You can leave. Carve the eye I want as soon as possible. I’m fine here.”
After eating, Zhou Zhi read for a while. It was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop. Zhou Zhi was distracted. He looked at Su Xiaolu’s face that seemed to appear in the book. He closed the book and rubbed his eyebrows. Su Xiaolu’s tolerance for him was greater than he had imagined.
