Chapter 924: What Do You Think?

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Su Xiaolu and the others set off.

Madam Zhao was very reluctant. She gently stroked Su Xiaolu’s face at the door and reminded her to be careful.

Due to Zhou Heng’s special identity, Su Xiaoling did not have the chance to come back for the new year, but she would not have to wait for long. When Zhou Zhi settled down, everything would be stable.

Su Hua and Su Chong were also focused on assisting Zhou Zhi.

What Su Hua did not tell Su Xiaolu was that he actually did not know Zhou Zhi’s exact plan. The process of interacting with Zhou Zhi let him understand how complex Zhou Zhi’s thoughts were and how outstanding his schemes were. The open and hidden attacks in the royal court were easily resolved by Zhou Zhi.

He felt that it was very likely that Zhou Zhi wanted to become the emperor, but Zhou Zhi had yet to be appointed as the Crown Prince, so Su Hua was not too sure. He also found it difficult to believe that someone could really become the emperor as soon as he was appointed as the Crown Prince.

Although the emperor was old, he was nourished by spiritual energy all year round and was still very energetic. Could the emperor really be willing to abdicate?

However, they were only waiting to see the results of Zhou Zhi’s control.

Su Hua did not care who became the emperor. What he cared about was how to better protect his family and how to support his children so that they could thrive and not be afraid of the wind and rain.

When Su Xiaolu and the others returned to the academy, Old Wu and Gui You quickly began to teach.

The days did not change much. They usually taught in classes and trained disciples.

Occasionally, she would pick herbs and refine them into pills.

The spring scenery was infinitely good. Su Xiaolu often brought her four disciples out. Chang Xian had his own comprehension of his superpowers.

On the eighth of March, Su Xiaolu saw him condense the surging spring water into a drop with her own eyes. The drop of water was in Chang Xian’s palm. He handed it to Su Xiaolu as if he was presenting a treasure.

“Master, look, I can put them in the water droplets now.”

Chang Xian’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He loved being praised.

Jiang Wanlin and the others gathered around to take a look, feeling extremely surprised.

A water droplet that wouldn’t break actually had small fish and seaweed in it. This was reallv magical.

Wang Mingyue couldn’t help but ask, “Junior Brother, can you put humans in?”

Chang Xian shook his head. “No. Human energy is too strong. I can’t do it yet. Perhaps in the future.”

Relying on the water droplets as a carrier and shrinking the objects to contain them was really very subtle.

Su Xiaolu was also shocked. The fish swimming inside, the flowing spring water, and the swaying seaweed were all alive. This reminded her of her Space. It was also so magical.

Seeing that Chang Xian’s face was slightly pale, Su Xiaolu said, “Let’s go back first. In time, your abilities will become stronger and stronger.”

Chang Xian nodded. He threw the water droplet into the spring water, causing it to ripple. The plants and fish returned, and soon, the spring returned to calm.

At night, the fish caught from the spring water were roasted by Chang Xian. The fish skin was soft and the meat was tender. Chang Xian was like a butler as he held a small brush and brushed it.

Wang Mingyue praised sweetly, “Junior Brother is really amazing. Thank you, Junior Brother. You’ve worked hard.”

Fang Lan also praised him and repeated Wang Mingyue’s words.

Jiang Wanlin couldn’t bring herself to say such sweet nothings. She smiled at

Chang Xian and said gratefully, “Thank you, Junior Brother.”

Chang Xian blushed slightly and shook his head, saying that there was no need to thank him. He liked doing this very much. Seeing Master and his Senior Brothers and Sisters eat the food he made filled him with satisfaction. He was one of them now.

Su Xiaolu was not strict in front of them. She was very gentle. Apart from teaching them, she completely relaxed herself and let her disciples know what she was like.

When they ate their favorite food, they would smile.

When she was happy, she would laugh. When she was mad, she would be angry. She did whatever she wanted.

When they returned to the academy the next day, they did not find the herbs they were looking for this time. However, even though they returned empty-handed, everyone was in an extremely good mood.

Time passed quickly. After the hot summer, it was autumn.

In August, Su Xiaoling sent someone to invite Su Xiaolu over. At night, Su Xiaolu went over.

The two sisters sat down. Su Xiaoling said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, Zhou Zhi will be conferred the title of Crown Prince on the thirteenth of this month.’

In the past few years in the academy, Su Xiaoling had become much more cheerful. She was pregnant again. This was her third child. This time, it was not twins.

She was already six months pregnant. She would give birth in winter.

Her duties were not overwhelming. Su Xiaoling poured tea for Su Xiaolu and pushed the teacup in front of her.

“That’s good. Fourth Brother’s wish has been fulfilled.”

Su Xiaolu held her teacup and smiled. Zhou Zhi’s wish had been fulfilled step by step with his own efforts.

In the past year, she had heard many rumors about Zhou Zhi. Some said that he killed people like flies, and some said that he was sinister and cunning. But so what? Fourth Brother was Fourth Brother.

“Xiaolu, I’ll be straightforward with you. Brother Heng told me that Zhou Zhi will become the emperor at the end of the year. Tell me, what do you think?”

Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaolu with a worried gaze. Zhou Zhi liked her sister.

He had such a scheming heart and the ability to control his subordinates. Whatever he wanted was at his fingertips.

Zhou Zhi had been away from women for so many years. Back then, when Su Xiaolu disappeared in the foreign land, Zhou Zhi went looking for her every year. He didn’t even hesitate to risk his life to find her. Even a dog wouldn’t believe that he had let Su Xiaolu go.

Now that he was about to become the emperor and the world was going to be his, what would he do next?

Su Xiaolu had been free for so many years. How could she be restrained in the palace?

Su Xiaoling was worried about Su Xiaolu.

“I have no opinions. Fourth Brother becoming the emperor has nothing to do with me. I’m still me.”

Su Xiaolu knew what Su Xiaoling was asking. There was actually nothing between her and Zhou Zhi. If he didn’t say it, she wouldn’t say it either. That was it. She lived her life, and Zhou Zhi lived his own life. That was it.

Therefore, whether Zhou Zhi was the emperor or not, he was still him. Su Xiaolu would not change either.

“Xiaolu, tell me, has Zhou Zhi expressed his feelings for you all these years? Actually, I already knew that he liked you. This happened a long time ago, but at that time, he was sick and weak. I even stopped him. But now, this is nothing. It’s enough as long as he’s sincere to you. Father, Mother, our brothers, and I will give you our blessings. It’s just that the palace is cold and I don’t want you to go to that palace.”

Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaolu gently. Even though Su Xiaolu was not in a hurry, she was already feeling anxious for her.

Su Xiaolu patted the back of Su Xiaoling’s hand gently and said, “Sister, don’t worry. Zhou Zhi has never confessed to me. Even if he confesses to me and we get together, I won’t enter the palace.”

She actually had an intuition and premonition that Zhou Zhi would not confess. Su Xiaolu thought about it. There were many times when she thought that he would say it, but in the end, he endured it. Zhou Zhi had mentioned his enlightenment of time many times. It might have something to do with him not confessing..
