Chapter 227 Be Careful
Unable to figure it out, Xiao Qi had to get some fresh air and returned to the main hall. Wang Zhi had already been taken away by Lian Xin to sleep, and Lu Zheng and the others were eating noodles. Seeing Xiao Qi coming back, Xiao Fuzi helped him fill the bowl with noodles, added two more eggs, and placed them in front of him.

You Geng ate quickly and said after finishing, "I have to go out and buy some fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat tomorrow."

Xiao Fuzi, who was eating noodles with his head buried, muttered, "No need to go out, Lord Sui will have someone bring it over."

"How can the food delivered be as fresh as the ones I picked myself? Besides, didn't you say there are guards and servants in the front yard? The daily consumption for so many people is not small. Besides, you always stay indoors. Wouldn't it make the people around you feel strange?"

Although You Geng did not know Wang Zhi's identity, he had been in the palace for quite some time and knew that there were some things that one did not need to know in detail.

At this time, Lu Zheng and Xiao Qi looked up at the same time. It makes sense!

Xiao Qi gave all the eggs in the bowl to Lu Zheng, and then said to You Geng: "Disguise yourself appropriately when you go out, and ask Xiao Fuzi to go to the front yard and find two good fighters to follow you."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will return home immediately after I finish shopping."

Lu Zheng added, "Buy more candy."

You Geng glanced at Xiao Qi and responded in a low voice. Girls were not allowed to eat too much candy. Even Tianyi had specifically instructed this. But every time they went out to buy groceries, Lu Zheng would not forget to remind him to buy candy.

It was already the middle of the night, and the courtyard was very quiet. Lu Zheng thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Don't add any more servants to this small courtyard."

Wang Zhi's identity is special. It's not that she doesn't trust the people in Lingyang Palace, but the fewer people who know about it, the better. Xiao Qi naturally understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone guard this place."

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Is it okay to just have Lianxin?"

"Okay...right." Lu Zheng answered without much certainty. She didn't need anyone to serve her, and Azhi was fine, but now there was an old man and a baby, and Mrs. Wang couldn't take care of them alone. Could Lianxin do it alone?
Xiao Qi didn't say anything else, but just glanced at Xiao Fuzi. The latter was stunned, and then realized belatedly that his master had not used eye contact to convey his meaning for a long time.

This is...should we send someone who is appropriate and trustworthy? Who should we send?
In just a breath, a figure appeared in his mind.

Meanwhile, in the capital, Hua Sui, who was still practicing hammering in the middle of the night, sneezed and muttered that it was getting a little cold, so she should go to bed early. After they finished eating, Xiao Qi took Xiao Fuzi back to the front yard. Lu Zheng first glanced at Meng Wanwan who was already asleep, and then went to the room where Madam Wang lived.

Mrs. Wang was standing by Tao Jun's bed. After Lu Zheng took Tao Jun's pulse, she glanced at the dark shadow under Mrs. Wang's eyes.

"Madam, you don't have to stay here all night. After drinking the medicine, the old gentleman won't wake up until tomorrow afternoon." As she said this, Lu Zheng lit the incense burner she brought.

"It's okay. I can't sleep if I don't stay here. I heard from Lianxin that Miss Lu has traveled a long way today. It's very late. Miss Lu should go to bed early."

Lu Zheng did not try to persuade her anymore. She just took Wang Zhi, who was sleeping on the small couch, away when she passed by the outer room. Lian Xin did not leave, but stayed to look after the sleeping little girl.

Lu Zheng was still sleeping in her original room. She was afraid that she would take Wang Zhi down in the middle of the night, so she put Wang Zhi inside, felt his pulse, and pinched his little face. Maybe because she was too tired today, Lu Zheng fell asleep soon after she lay down.

But she has been tossing and turning in her sleep recently. As soon as Lu Zheng turned over, the quilt on Wang Zhi disappeared. There was a slight fluctuation in the air. A man came to the couch, took out another quilt, covered Wang Zhi with it alone, and then took the peeled pine nuts on the table and left.

At noon the next day, Lu Zheng, who had just woken up, heard Wang Zhi's excited laughter coming from the yard, "Ying! Ying! Ying is here too!"

"Play together!"

Xiao Fuzi watched Wang Zhi approaching again and said hurriedly, "Hey, Ah Zhi, wait a minute before you come closer. Ah Ying is eating and is protecting her food. Be careful or she might peck you~"

Wang Zhi looked up at Xiao Fuzi and argued with him seriously, "Ying doesn't peck at people, nor does he peck at me. I gave him meat, and he liked it!"

"Well, wait a while, until it finishes eating." Mr. Ying has a bad temper.

"Then I'll wait for him to finish eating~" Wang Zhi looked at Aying's body with shining eyes.

Lu Zheng was wearing clothes and standing in front of the window, looking at Wang Zhi jumping and dancing around Aying in the corner with a smile on her face.

It seems that there is no need to prepare this medicinal meal for him.
