He spoke in surprise, his voice quite loud. Some people nearby stared at the bottle of pills like wolves eyeing meat.
Zhou Zhizhi reassured everyone, saying, "This medicine is my secret recipe, so please don't worry. I'll distribute it to you right away."
After she finished speaking, she moved extremely fast, even putting the pill into the mouth of someone who was lying on the ground and unable to get up.
The sounds of pain and wailing have stopped, but the scene is still rather pitiful.
They'll feel a little better once the pain subsides, since the pain is just too unbearable; they just have to keep going.
Xiao Xiyou stood at the door, looking indifferently at Zhou Zhizhi, who was spreading medicine in the room.
I never realized when she became so capable.
The more Xiao Xiyou looked at her, the more he felt that this woman was definitely not a simple person.
But he was indeed a good person.
Zhou Zhizhi was so busy that it was almost dawn.
Xiao Dongyang had disappeared somewhere, and he never really took the matter to heart.
Zhou Zhizhi walked out of the inn with her hair disheveled and was pulled aside by Xiao Xiyou.
She was completely exhausted by then.
It's still a long way to get back to the manor, and the carriage hasn't come yet.
She simply didn't have the strength left to walk back like this.
As soon as I lifted my leg, I realized that my calf was already sore and weak. I used to think I was incredibly strong, but after a whole night of work, I realized I was exhausted.
Just as his face was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands gripped his waist tightly.
It was that familiar scent again. After being helped up, Zhou Zhizhi scratched her hair somewhat awkwardly.
Xiao Xiyou frowned even more: "Why don't we stop catching them and go back to rest?"
Zhou Zhizhi didn't know what he meant, and thought he was concerned about her, so she nodded.
"That's how it was supposed to be. I was going to rest at the inn up ahead."
Xiao Xiyou knew what level of strength this girl had previously possessed, and seeing her like this now, he naturally understood that she was exhausted.
"I'll escort you back to your residence."
This incident caused quite a stir in the city.
However, the Emperor delayed in resolving the issue and instead delegated the task to Eunuch Cao.
But a father-in-law is, after all, just a father-in-law.
Many people didn't quite believe what he said.
Standing in the imperial court, Zhou Zhizhi looked at Eunuch Cao, whose face was fair and who, although he looked somewhat old, was still quite delicate. She felt that there must be something strange about this.
Turning around, he saw Xiao Xiyou looking at him.
Both of them can understand what the other is thinking.
The fact that the two of them are not speaking does not mean that others are not speaking.
How is your body now?
"I wish to see Your Majesty, as I have important matters to discuss with you."
General Zhou is considered a veteran general of this dynasty.
Even the emperor would have to give him some face.
If we speak now and Eunuch Cao doesn't agree, it means he truly has something to hide.
Moreover, the Emperor is currently unwell, but there is no one he can visit.
Eunuch Cao snorted coldly; his voice was rather shrill.
"His Majesty is unwell and cannot be disturbed."
"If any of you gentlemen have anything to report, please present your memorials. His Majesty will naturally read them."
His words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to the old general.
Upon hearing this, the old general snorted coldly, turned around, and left the court.
Eunuch Cao's face also turned cold.
After waving his white whisk, he continued, "My lords, if you have something to report, please do so; otherwise, the court may adjourn."
The others didn't say anything either, and then dispersed.
Xiao Xiyou gave Zhou Zhizhi a wink. Zhou Zhizhi herself wanted to go to the moat to check on the villagers who were injured yesterday.
Everyone knows that there are still many unresolved issues within the city.
After a while, the two arrived at an inn outside the city.
This inn isn't exactly on the other side of the moat, but some of the injured civilians were brought here.
The two sat on the second floor, gazing outside, feeling a pang of sadness at the spot where the massive meteorite had struck the day before.
"I wonder how His Majesty is doing now."
If they were to repair it, it would actually require a large sum of money, and several inns and shops were also completely burned down.
The most important point is these shops, as well as the Prime Minister's shops.
The Prime Minister will definitely not let this go.
When Zhou Zhizhi said this, she was actually a little worried about the old emperor.
Xiao Xiyou smiled faintly as if he had heard something very interesting.
"Who knows, maybe I'll die soon."
His expression was indifferent, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
But that old emperor was his father.
Zhou Zhizhi froze for a moment, then turned her head in disbelief: "You're dying?"
"The palace hasn't found out anything like this either."
Where did you hear that from?
If something really happened to the old emperor or he was about to die, then there would definitely be news about it.
The only strange thing is that Eunuch Cao's temper has become increasingly bad lately. When he stands next to the dragon throne, it's as if he's actually sitting on it.
Their attitude towards them is no longer as humble and ingratiating as it used to be.
Even though he was someone close to the emperor, he was ultimately just a eunuch.
What do you mean?
Zhou Zhizhi knew that this matter was absolutely confidential and could not be overheard by others.
So when he said this, he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before he spoke.
Moreover, he kept his voice extremely low, as if afraid that others would hear him.
Xiao Xiyou has come to believe that Zhou Zhizhi is not as he imagined, and can be considered a reliable and good person.
If she wants to know about this, then it's fine to tell her.
"My father has been staying indoors all the time, and even people in the palace rarely see him. Why do you think that is?"
Xiao Xiyou's expression was indifferent, but a mocking smile remained on his lips.
He actually had no feelings for his father, the emperor.
There is no kinship in the royal family; all that exists is the desire for power.
For this supreme power, brothers and fathers might even kill each other.
There are many such things in history, and even if they were true, they wouldn't make people feel sad.
