Su Yujiao shook her head: "No need, I'll wander around the city by myself first, and stay at this inn tonight."

"Okay, let's live together and look after each other."

Su Yujiao went to the local clinic and easily obtained some useful information.

For example, the Xiao Nan clan's royal palace is offering a large reward for the best doctors in the world; for example, Prince Xiao is very ill and has been bedridden.

For example, when Prince Xiao's eyes and mouth were crooked, the local shaman said he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Excuse me, sir, where should I register if I wish to enter the palace to treat the king?"

The old doctor looked the young man up and down and advised, "Young man, the palace's silver is not so easy to earn. Be careful, or you may never return."

"Thank you for reminding me, sir. I was asking on behalf of my master."

The old doctor told her to go to the palace gate and tell the guards that she had come to accept the imperial edict, and someone would then lead her into the palace.

After thanking him, Su Yujiao returned to the inn. Without lingering, she left a message for Boss Zhang and then took her medicine box to the palace.

She made thorough preparations for this treatment, bringing many possible medications and medical equipment that did not exist in this era, such as surgical instruments, sterilization tools, and various bottles and jars.

Of course, these were all homemade, simplified versions.

These were all her belongings. Although she didn't know what illness Prince Xiao had, she figured it was always better to have them with her than not.

However, she had too many things to bring into the palace; she only carried a small medicine box.

Once the diagnosis is complete, and if it is indeed needed, we can come back to pick it up.

"Master, the young mistress is preparing to enter the palace."

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as Su Yujiao stepped out of the inn, a carriage blocked her way.

Lu Ziqian lifted the curtain, his tone neither cold nor indifferent: "Get in the car."

The woman was only surprised for a second before looking away.

No wonder Boss Zhang said the journey had been peaceful; it turns out he was secretly protecting him.

But so what? He just likes to be in control and doesn't want her to escape his control.

Su Yujiao walked around the carriage and continued walking, while Lu Ziqian pinched his brow in annoyance.

How come I never noticed how stubborn she was before?

The man got out of the car, picked the woman up by the waist, and threatened, "Go ahead and shout, bring everyone here."

Su Yujiao shut her mouth, but bit the man's shoulder hard.

If he doesn't let her have an easy time, he won't have an easy time either.

"Sigh... You're like a dog, why do you bite people so much?"

Lu Ziqian lightly slapped the woman's buttocks twice, and Su Yujiao's face flushed red, but she bit even harder.

The man carried her into the inn, threw her onto the bed, and frowned while rubbing his shoulders.

"Lu Ziqian, are you sick in the head?"

"You really can't stand to see me doing well?"

"I'm saving my older brother, what's it to you? Why do you keep stopping me?"

Looking at the woman's puffed-up face, Lu Ziqian wasn't annoyed. Instead, he poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "You've been cursing all the way. Have some water to soothe your throat."

Snap!

Su Yujiao slapped the teacup he offered her over the shoulder, still giving him a cold look.

Lu Ziqian didn't pick it up. Instead, he picked up another teacup, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

He sat at the table, looking at the angry woman sitting on the edge of the bed, and suddenly chuckled softly.

He was handsome, especially now, with a smile in his eyes. The moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating his handsome face and captivating everyone at first glance.

Lu Ziqian's looks are so striking that even men would be attracted to him, let alone Su Yujiao, who has loved him passionately for so many years.

Seeing him smile, her anger seemed to dissipate by more than half.

She turned her face away, refusing to look at him, and silently cursed herself for being spineless.

They can calm down completely with just a smile; they're hopeless.

Therefore, she deliberately thought about his previous excessive behavior and his heartless face.

In the end, she was the first to give in, frowning and asking, "What are you laughing at?"

"Am I that ridiculous in your eyes?"

The man looked at the sulking woman in front of him with a half-smile, and said helplessly, "I'm laughing at my own stupidity, that I was fooled by you for so many years."

Su Yujiao instantly bristled: "When have I ever lied to you?"

"You're quick to anger, prone to biting, stubborn, and not gentle. Aren't you just lying to me?"

"All that gentleness, consideration, obedience, and compliance from before was just an act."

"You still say you're not lying to me?"

Su Yujiao blushed. How could that be called lying? She loved him so much before. Who wouldn't want to show their best side to their lover?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Ziqian walked up to her without her noticing, reached out and touched her head, which startled Su Yujiao, who quickly dodged away and put some distance between herself and him.

He looked at his empty hand and continued, "But one thing hasn't changed you: you're still as stupid as ever."

"She used to be soft, obedient, and a little dazed; that was cute."

“To be stubborn and defiant now, and to insist on doing things your own way, is just stupid.”

Su Yujiao threw a pillow at her: "You're the stupid one."

Lu Ziqian caught the pillow with one hand: "I didn't stop you from saving people, but you're so brainless, you can't save anyone at all, and you'll only get yourself killed."

“Once you enter the palace, the situation inside will be uncontrollable, and I won’t be able to save you from outside.”

“You are my woman, Lu Ziqian’s woman, so naturally I won’t let you go in and take risks.”

Now that she was no longer angry, Su Yujiao was much more rational and wouldn't impulsively tear up the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" like she did that night.

She still regrets it to this day and it hurts her liver!

"Do you have a better idea?"

"You just want to know about Prince Xiao's illness, right? I'll get you a royal physician, so you don't have to risk going to the palace."
