A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Seeing Zhou Ruo's predicament, Zhao Jinzhong comforted Ji Ping:

"Mom, I've almost recovered. Ruoruo has done her best. I'll keep trying these next two months, and it'll be over soon!"

The next morning, An Chang brought good news.

Prince An provided Zhou Ruo with three shops in the best locations in the city, which only needed to be repaired and decorated by craftsmen before they could be used.

An Chang was in charge of supervising the construction of the medical clinic, a task assigned to him by the Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said that Zhou Ruo's progress in medical skills must not be delayed.

Zhao Jinzhong took Zhou Ruo and An Chang to the city to look at shops.

The shop is located in the city's busiest area, even better than the location where Zhou Ruo used to set up her stall.

The three shops were connected and separated by two floors, making the space spacious and bright.

Zhou Ruo stood outside the shop and looked up, exclaiming, "Wow, what a waste!"

Why make such a big shop when a simple stall would suffice?

Seeing her naive and unsophisticated expression, An Chang said, "You just don't understand! This is what you call prestige."

"What is prestige?" Zhou Ruo didn't understand.

An Chang said proudly, "We just can't let the Prince An's Mansion lose face."

Zhao Jinzhong laughed and said, "As expected of the Prince An's Mansion, they are rich and powerful!"

Ruoruo, don't worry about wasting money. With this clinic, you and your patients won't have to endure the wind and sun anymore.

Zhou Ruo listened to Zhao Jinzhong's words and became happy as well.

But then she thought to herself: Is this what you call being rich and powerful? The Cloud Palace she lived in in her previous life was much bigger than this!

But she was never proud of it, nor did she feel it was anything special.

Zhao Jinzhong and his two companions went inside the shop again. Several craftsmen were already repairing and decorating the two floors.

With so many people working together, I estimate the clinic will be able to open in less than half a month.

In the days that followed, Zhao Jinzhong focused on recovering his health in preparation for the martial arts competition.

He practices some boxing techniques to strengthen his body every day, and then gradually increases the intensity of his practice.

Zhou Ruo, not believing in superstition, started giving Zhao Jinzhong acupuncture soon after. Perhaps it was because his spiritual power was insufficient, but he still did it anyway.

Anyway, her injections won't have any side effects; at most, they won't be effective. But what if they do have some unseen effects?

While accompanying Zhao Jinzhong, Zhou Ruo was also thinking about how to solve the root cause of the Empress Dowager's illness.

However, what puzzled Zhou Ruo was where those enormous spirit insects in the Empress Dowager's body came from.

Even in her previous life, Zhou Ruo had never considered where the spirit insects came from.

If we know the origin of the spirit insects, we might be able to think of ways to deal with them from the source.

After thinking about it for a few days, Zhou Ruo suddenly remembered that she had read Doctor Yu's book in the military camp.

Now that she has no master to consult, she doesn't know if there are any records about spirit insects in the medical books of the mortal world.

"Brother, do you have any medical books at home?" Zhou Ruo asked Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong shook his head.

The general's family had been practicing martial arts for three generations, but it was only with Zhao Jinzhong that they began to cultivate both literary and martial arts skills.

Their family had no connection to medicine for generations, except for bringing home a smart, adorable daughter who was also incredibly skilled in medicine.

"Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you want to read medical books? Do you still need to read medical books?" Zhao Jinzhong asked a series of questions.

Zhou Ruo said helplessly, "I want to look for treatment methods for spirit insects in medical books."

Zhao Jinzhong nodded, thinking that this was also a possible solution.

"Could spirit insects have existed since ancient times?"

Zhou Ruo: "I don't know."

She truly regretted it; why had she only been afraid in her previous life...?

They would hide whenever they saw a spirit insect, and never even thought of discussing this thing with their master.

After careful consideration, Zhao Jinzhong said, "If it's something ancient, then we'll probably have to look for some old medical books."

Zhou Ruo thought her brother's reasoning made sense, so what?

Zhao Jinzhong: "I wonder if the Imperial Hospital will have any?"

Zhou Ruo: "What kind of place is the Imperial Medical Academy?"

Zhao Jinzhong: "That's where the imperial physicians worked. The imperial physicians were doctors who specifically treated the emperor, his concubines, princes, and ministers."

Zhou Ruo still didn't quite understand. Did the doctors who treated the emperor and those people have ancient medical books in their places?

Zhao Jinzhong suddenly remembered, "Oh right, your set of silver needles was given to you by Physician Li, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy."

Zhou Ruo's dim eyes finally lit up, and she suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, let's go to the Imperial Hospital!"

Zhao Jinzhong was both amused and exasperated. "The Imperial Medical Academy isn't a place you can just walk into. Besides, you want to go in and browse through ancient books? That's even more difficult."

Zhou Ruobao, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, was discouraged again.

Ever since Li Chengquan visited the Prince An's residence to examine the Dowager Consort, he has been waiting for news from her.

He was eager to know who this person was who had revived the Empress Dowager.

This person not only restored the Empress Dowager's former vitality, but his medical skills have also surpassed those of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.

What intrigued him even more was that this person could also use that set of pure silver needles.

Was this person a human or an immortal? Physician Li wanted to find out.

But after waiting for ten days to half a month, the Empress Dowager still hadn't summoned them.

He dared to visit the Princess Dowager at the Prince An's residence again.

After learning Li Chengquan's purpose, the Dowager Consort realized that she had forgotten her promise to introduce Zhou Ruo to him.

"Perfect timing, I haven't seen this child for several days either. I'll have An Chang go and fetch her."

Li Chengquan was moved by the Dowager Empress's compassionate heart, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Dowager Empress!"

Huh? It took Li Chengquan a couple of blinks to realize that the divine doctor the Dowager had mentioned was... a child?

No, no, that's impossible. Maybe I'm just getting old and hard of hearing, and I misheard.

When Zhao Jinzhong led Zhou Ruo into the main room of the Dowager Princess to pay their respects, it was the first time that Li Chengquan saw the young general after his legs had healed.

Zhao Jinzhong: "Greetings to the Dowager Consort."

Zhou Ruo: "Greetings to my grandmother."

After Zhou Ruo finished paying her respects, she immediately stood up, holding two fruits in her hand, and walked a few steps to the Empress Dowager.

"Grandma, my brother and I were picking fruit, and I brought you two. They're delicious, you should try them!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Dowager's eyes. "Oh my, Ruo'er is so filial to her grandmother! Very well, Grandmother, please have a taste."

Li Chengquan's gaze was entirely focused on Zhao Jinzhong. His eyes shone, and he circled Zhao Jinzhong twice.

"Incredible, unbelievable! Amazing, truly amazing!"

After a moment of reflection, Li Chengquan said, "Oh, Young General, it hasn't been easy! Well, everything's alright now!"

Zhao Jinzhong smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, Physician Li. I am much better now."

Looking at the dashing young general, Li Chengquan secretly admired the divine physician.

"Huh? Didn't Prince An go to fetch the divine physician? Why did only the young general arrive?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager feigned seriousness and said, "Imperial Physician Li, this is where you are wrong."
