Chapter 3255 Want to Steal Blood
"Not all civil and military officials in the court dislike Master Naluo Er. Some of them truly believe in him. It's just that a few officials, led by Lord Tang and Minister Li, dislike him, so they don't show it too much." Mr. Zhuang said, "So I think he has the ability to bewitch people. You should be careful when interacting with him. Those claims of immortality are all false. Don't take them too seriously."
Zhou Man nodded. "I know. How can there be immortality in this world? The most you can achieve is longevity."
Mr. Zhuang nodded in satisfaction, forgetting to ask Zhou Man what his definition of longevity was. If he had asked, Zhou Man would definitely answer three to five hundred years old.
However, there are advantages to not asking. At this time, Mr. Zhuang was happy both physically and mentally, and went to bed happily.
Only then did Zhou Man return to the main courtyard.
Seeing her exhausted appearance, Old Lady Liu sighed and turned to tell the servants, "Go and get some hot water for the lady."
"You're tired today, so go take a shower and rest. We'll talk tomorrow." Old Madam Liu took Zhou Man's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Zhishan wrote back saying you're pregnant. Are you okay now?"
"He told Grandma, and he's not even three months old yet."
Madam Liu said, "I'm the only one who knows. He's just worried that you'll be overworked and have no one to take care of you in the capital."
Zhou Man hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma, I've been paying attention. No matter what you do, health is the most important thing. Only when you are alive can you do what you want to do. Only when you are healthy can you do what you want to do happily. I know all this."
Madam Liu couldn't help laughing. "I almost forgot that you and Zhishan have always cherished your lives. I'm relieved to know that."
She stood up, glanced at Xibing who was coming in and out, and said, "You only brought Xibing back with you. I'm afraid there aren't enough people in this courtyard. I'll leave a few maids for you to take care of you. You have to bring Xibing with you when you go out in the future, okay?"
"I know, don't worry, Grandma."
Only then did Old Lady Liu pat her hands and leave.
The servants also brought hot water. Zhou Man went into the bathroom to wash his hair, and then soaked in the bathtub. He immediately felt very comfortable.
It’s really more comfortable to go home. It’s not convenient to take a bath on the way.
Zhou Man changed her clothes and went out. Xibing wiped her hair and was sent out by Zhou Man. "It will dry on its own in a while."
"But it's too slow. Doesn't my wife need to go to bed soon?"
"No rush, I'll read for a while." After sending everyone away, Zhou Man took out the medicine box and went into the teaching room to do research.
Keke said: "The host is pregnant now, it is best to go to bed on time. Do you need me to set an alarm for the host?"
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly. "Let's set it up. By the way, Koko, when I go to visit Na Luo'er, can you scan Na Luo'er's physical condition to see if he is really two hundred years old?"
Koko said: "To determine a person's lifespan, we also need to calculate the cell renewal rate. Scans alone are not accurate enough, and blood tests are also needed."
Zhou Man touched his chin and asked, "Can't we test bone age?"
"Okay, give me his bones and I'll analyze them."
Zhou Man: "...He is still alive."
Koko was silent. Zhou Man seemed to see Koko's silence and said quickly, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I will find a way to get his blood."
Zhou Man was very excited, "If he really lived to be two hundred years old..."
"It's best for the host not to be too enthusiastic, so as to avoid being disappointed when your hopes are dashed later."
Zhou Man choked, "Forget it, let's research the elixir first. Saving His Majesty is our top priority now. Regardless of whether that master really lived to be two hundred years old, he is definitely a liar, and a bad one at that."
Keke: "Can there be good and bad liars?"
Zhou Man casually responded, "Shall we divide it?"
She will put on a mask and gloves, take out a pill, and gently scrape off a layer for research.
When the alarm clock rang, she was in high spirits. She turned off the alarm and wanted to continue, but Koko started ringing again. Zhou Man was finally unable to bear it anymore and turned off the alarm clock with a stern face and was about to go out.
Seeing the mailbox, she immediately stopped and said, "I'm not working anymore. I'm just going to read the reply from Teacher Mo."
The email was sent this afternoon. Teacher Mo came out of retreat, but immediately went back into retreat. He said in the email that his experiment had made great progress and was now in the human trial stage, so he would be very busy during this period. He took the time to record fifteen classes when he was in the research institute and asked her to listen to these fifteen classes when she was free. If she had any questions, she could solve them herself first. If she couldn't solve them, she could keep them and discuss them with her when he came out.
Zhou Man lamented, "I had wanted to show Mr. Mo the elixir of immortality, but it's a pity he didn't have the chance anymore."
Koko: ...You have no chance, right?
Zhou Man left the classroom, wiped his hair, and found it was dry. He was immediately satisfied, blew out the lantern, and lay down to sleep.
Before lying down, Zhou Man felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember what it was. It wasn't until the next morning, when it was still dark outside, that she was woken up by Keke's alarm clock. She sat up with a confused look on her face, "Did I set the alarm?"
Koko: "An alarm clock tailored to the host's situation. No points required. No thanks."
Zhou Man was still confused, "What's going on with me?"
Keke: "Host, you need to attend a small court meeting."
Zhou Man woke up instantly, "Oh, yes, I have to attend the small court meeting, and I forgot to tell my family yesterday."
Zhou Man hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, lighting the lamp. The maid who was sleeping in the next room woke up immediately after hearing the noise. She pushed open the door and saw that the light was on in Zhou Man's room. She hurried to the window and asked, "Madam, would you like some water?"
Zhou Man said, "I need to wash up and go to the kitchen to get some water. I'll have them prepare breakfast. I need to attend the small court meeting."
She paused and said, "From now on, except for days off, I will attend the small and large court meetings."
The maid understood and hurried back to the room to wake up her companions. Xibing in the other room also woke up and came over to find clothes for Zhou Man to wear today.
Zhou Man took a look and pointed to a darker official uniform and said, "Wear that one. From now on, you will wear dark crimson official uniforms."
Xibing agreed.
By the time Zhou Man had washed and changed her clothes, her breakfast was ready in the kitchen and it was already dawn.
Old Madam Liu slept less as she aged, and she would wake up at the slightest noise in the main courtyard. Nanny Liu smiled and went in to wait on her, whispering, "Madam, you have to attend a small court meeting, so you got up early."
Madam Liu was annoyed. "I forgot to ask last night if it was too late at this hour."
"No, my wife woke up on her own."
Madam Liu sighed, "She's always been diligent, so she really doesn't need anyone to worry about this. Go check if the goat's milk has been delivered today. Have it delivered earlier next time. It's better for her to drink a bowl of goat's milk in the morning. She's pregnant now, and she uses her brain a lot, so she needs more nutrition."
Madam Liu smiled and agreed, "I'll be there in a moment."
"What takes a while? Go now."
Nanny Liu smiled and went away quickly.
So the breakfast sent to Zhou Man's house included a bowl of goat milk.
Zhou Man smelled it and found the temperature was suitable, so she drank it all in one gulp. "It's just not sweet enough. I'll add a little more sugar next time."
The maid who came to deliver breakfast responded with a smile.
good evening
