Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

518 Second Detoxification

Wei Ling wasn’t the only one who believed in that prophecy.

The emperor also believed it, but their beliefs were different. The emperor’s intentions were very clear. He was nurturing Zhou Heng as the heir apparent, and Zhou Heng was also working hard to learn. Therefore, he only needed an opportunity to establish the Crown Prince.

“Let’s hope so.”

Madam Zhao did not understand such a deep matter. She could only pray that this day would come soon.

Madam Zhao looked at Su Xiaolu with a gentle gaze. She gently pinched Su Xiaolu’s cheek and said gently, “Xiaolu, you’re like your sister. You’ve been sensible since you were young. Your mother is already very happy.”

“So, whatever you want or like, don’t hide it in your heart. Father and Mother might not be able to help, but we will definitely do our best to help.”

Her youngest daughter was no longer as innocent and lively as when she was young. Many things were buried in her heart. Madam Zhao’s heart ached, but she was helpless about these things.

Time would stop for no one.

Su Xiaolu smiled at Madam Zhao. She hugged Madam Zhao’s waist. She was almost as tall as Madam Zhao. She pressed her head against Madam Zhao’s shoulder and said wheedlingly, “Thank you for your concern, mother. I know.”

She had grown up and understood everything.

Having lived two lifetimes, she once again understood many complicated emotions.

Madam Zhao gently stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair and sighed softly.

After Su Xiaoling got married, the house became much quieter.

Sun Baoqian took over the matter of Su Xiaoling’s scar removal ointment. She was not idle either. Occasionally, she would help Su Xiaolu grind the ointment. The two of them had a good relationship. Sun Baoqian knew her identity very well. She knew that she was Su Xiaolu’s sister-in-law and not her biological sister.

As a sister-in-law, she got along very well with her and dealt with her in-laws very well.

In mid-December, Su Xiaolu began to detoxify Zhou Zhi for the second time. She told Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao that on the fifteenth of December, she and Zhou Zhi would set off for the hot spring at Fengpo Platform.

In December, the cold wind was bone-chilling. It couldn’t be better to have a warm place.

In the past few months, ever since the white fish appeared, Zhou Zhi’s body had been getting better and better. He could also withstand the various pain reactions of detoxification. It was a good time to detoxify.

Su Xiaolu wrapped herself in a cloak and got into the carriage. Zhou Zhi handed over a hot-water bottle. He smiled and said, “Xiaolu, you’re very cold, right? Here, this is warm.”

Su Xiaolu took it. The hot-water bottle was very warm. She smiled. “Thank you.”

Zhou Zhi seemed to be cold and wore thicker clothes.

In the carriage, both of them were holding hot-water bottles. Jin Si, Jin Liu, and Su Xiaolu were familiar with the driver.

Jin Wu, Jin Qi, Jin Ba, Jin Jiu, and the others followed.

They were all familiar faces to Su Xiaolu.

“Any news from the sea lately?”

Since she was bored, Su Xiaolu asked about the white fish. When she came to the capital, the price of the white fish seemed to have stabilized at 100 taels each. It had not decreased in the past few days.

Su Xiaolu did not buy fish, but Sun Baoqian did.

Everyone in the family enjoyed it. Sun Baoqian had a generous dowry, which was an extra meal for her.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu gently and said, “The market for the white fish in the capital is saturated, but not in the other states. The whirlpool in Qinghai is getting smaller and smaller. Tons of white fish are caught every day. The capital is controlled, but this situation won’t last long.”

“This person controlling it belongs to Father. There are many white fish, but it’s still a good thing.”

Zhou Zhi was afraid that Su Xiaolu did not understand enough, so he directly told her that someone was in control.

The emperor had not earned enough money from the white fish money.

Su Xiaolu understood.

It was a day’s journey to Fengpo Platform, and they might only arrive at night.

Zhou Zhi took out some snacks for Su Xiaolu to eat. Su Xiaolu did not stand on ceremony. She took it and opened it. The spiritual energy assailed her nose. She glanced at Zhou Zhi. “Is this dried fish made of the white fish?”

The familiar smell and some fresh and spicy fragrant made Su Xiaolu hungry.

Zhou Zhi nodded and said softly, “I thought that the original taste of the white fish would be delicious and that adding some peppers and chili would damage the taste, but after making it, it didn’t. It has a different taste. You’ll know when you try it.”

Su Xiaolu had already started eating.

The spicy, fresh, and fragrant taste stimulated the taste buds. It was very delicious and she could finish the entire bag very quickly.

Su Xiaolu handed the bag to Zhou Zhi. “It’s delicious. You should eat it too. This is good for your appetite. You can eat more. You’re too thin.”

With the nourishment of the white fish, Zhou Zhi did not gain weight. He was still very thin and looked sickly.

Zhou Zhi smiled and started eating with Su Xiaolu.

When the grease touched his hands, he would also lick it off like Su Xiaolu.

It was a little spicy, but he couldn’t stop.

Unknowingly, the two of them finished a packet together. Zhou Zhi wiped his hands with a handkerchief while Su Xiaolu wiped her hands.

Zhou Zhi took out another bag. “Have a taste. This is to relieve the spiciness.”

It was a candy bar.

Su Xiaolu ate a piece, and so did Zhou Zhi.

Su Xiaolu was a little puzzled. “Where did you buy this? It tastes a little special. It’s sweet and cool. Is there Silver Pill Grass in it?”

The ancients called it Silver Pill Grass, and the later generations called it Mint.

However, the extraction of licorice also had such an effect, but she did not know which one was added.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “It’s made in the residence with Silver Pill Grass. If you like it, I’ll send you a few bags later.”

Su Xiaolu licked the candy. She really liked this taste.

“Thank you.”

Su Xiaolu did not refuse. There seemed to be forty to fifty pieces in this bag. If she ate them every day, she would finish them quickly.

It felt strange to keep asking Zhou Zhi for more, but unfortunately, she couldn’t buy it outside.

However, she would eat as much as she could.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu for a while and his lips curled up unconsciously.

At noon, they ate rations and rested for a while before continuing on their way.

In the afternoon, Su Xiaolu was sleepy. She glanced at Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi’s eyes were closed at some point and he seemed to be asleep. Su Xiaolu was also very relaxed. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep by the carriage.

She did not know that not long after she fell asleep, Zhou Zhi opened his eyes.

When they reached Fengpo Platform, Zhou Zhi shook Su Xiaolu gently and said, “Xiaolu, we’re here.”

Su Xiaolu opened her eyes and regretted sleeping too soundly.

She got off the carriage with Zhou Zhi and realized that it was already dark.

They were at a house. The house was already lit with lanterns, so the two of them went in together.

Zhou Zhi said gently, “It’s a little late today. The food I asked them to prepare is mild. There’s also some delicious food at Fengpo Platform. Try it tomorrow.”

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Sure.”

She wasn’t a picky eater.

Zhou Zhi said that it was mild, but the taste was very good and suited her taste.
