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

Lee Sung-kwon: "Huh?"

Whether Physician Li didn't hear clearly or didn't believe what he heard, Zhou Ruo didn't discuss the topic with him again.

Zhou Ruoling suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Physician Li, you're the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, aren't you?"

Li Chengquan: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Ruo: "Are there many medical books in the Imperial Medical Academy?"

Li Chengquan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Of course, the best medical books in the world are all in the Imperial Medical Academy."

Zhou Ruo's face regained its excited smile. "Can I go in and take a look?"

Physician Li: "To the Imperial Hospital?"

Zhou Ruo nodded and smiled, "Yes, let's go in and look at the medical books."

Physician Li was even more bewildered. "Look...at a medical book? Miss, can you read?"

Aside from wondering how many characters Zhou Ruo could recognize at such a young age, and whether she could understand medical books.

What puzzled Li Chengquan even more was that with Zhou Ruo's current medical skills, did he still need to read medical books?

After all, the medical methods described in medical books may not be as effective as a single silver needle from her.

The Empress Dowager never expected Zhou Ruo to have such thoughts and needs.

I only learned a few days ago that she set up a stall to treat patients in order to improve her medical skills.

Is it possible that because she's been prevented from setting up her stall these days, she's now focusing her energy on medical books?

As the Dowager Consort thought this, her affection for Zhou Ruo grew even stronger.

Such a self-reliant and ambitious spirit at such a young age; who knows how strong she will become in the future.

As the only imperial concubine who lived through three generations of the imperial court, she had seen far too many ignorant and incompetent women.

The concubines in the imperial harem spent their days vying for the emperor's favor, but deep down they were extremely empty inside.

Zhou Ruo not only has a skill, but she can also concentrate on mastering it, so she will definitely live a fulfilling life in the future.

She must support Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Jinzhong stepped forward and told Li Chengquan, "Imperial Physician Li, Ruoruo already knows quite a few characters, and she has read many books in the mansion."

The Empress Dowager also expressed her opinion: "Imperial Physician Li, it is rare for Ruo'er to have such ambition, so please take the trouble to make arrangements."

It would be acceptable to allow Zhou Ruo to enter the Imperial Hospital to read medical books, but she is, after all, still a child.

The Imperial Medical Academy also contains many precious medicinal materials and medical records.

If a small child goes in and gets it broken or dirty while playing, it could be quite a hassle.

Seeing that he still had reservations, the Dowager Consort added:

"Do we need to get a pass from the emperor? I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Li Chengquan knelt down with a thud, and the Empress Dowager was already displeased with his hesitation.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager's meaning has been made so clear that he cannot afford to be ungrateful.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will handle this matter!"

The Dowager Princess nodded, satisfied.

Zhao Jinzhong also said gratefully, "Thank you, Physician Li. Don't worry, I will go with Ruoruo and keep an eye on her. I won't let her cause any trouble."

Zhou Ruo didn't understand Zhao Jinzhong's intention. She glared at him as if to say that she was the most obedient baby in the world, so how could she be so naughty?

Zhao Jinzhong winked at him, smiling but saying nothing.

Li Chengquan nodded in agreement: "It would be best if the young general were to accompany us."

"Spiritual power restored to 66%!"

Zhou Ruo was pleasantly surprised. As expected of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, curing her head ailment restored three-tenths of her spiritual power.

The next day, Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong followed Li Chengquan into the Imperial Hospital.

Upon entering the Imperial Hospital, a strong smell of medicine wafted towards me.

The familiar taste quickly captivated Zhou Ruo, making her heart flutter.

Following Li Chengquan, we passed the imperial physicians' duty hall, the imperial pharmacy, the teaching hall... and finally arrived at the library.

The imperial physicians were all curious when they saw the head physician leading a child through the crowd.

After all, no child this young had ever entered the Imperial Hospital before.

"Is that boy following behind... General Zhao's son?"

A royal physician recognized Zhao Jinzhong.

"Huh? It looks like it! I almost didn't recognize him standing there."

"The young general is indeed the young general; his demeanor has only grown stronger..."

"Yes, yes, my little girl saw him once during a martial arts competition, and she still can't forget him."

"Seriously, Lao Qin? Your eldest daughter is only eight years old now, and she was only four or five back then. She was already infatuated with a boy at such a young age?"

"Go away! What's wrong with that? What girl wouldn't be smitten by a young general like him?"

The imperial physicians chatted amongst themselves, all their eyes focused on Zhao Jinzhong.

"Who is that little girl walking in front of the young general? She looks quite cute and clever."

"It must be the daughter that General Zhao brought back."

"Wow~ I also want to bring a daughter like that home. I'll ask General Zhao if there are any other girls he might have missed."

The person who said this was Physician Lu, who already had four sons and had always wanted to have a daughter but had not been able to.

Upon hearing Physician Lu's remark, all the imperial physicians burst into laughter.

The laughter attracted Qin Shuming, the deputy head of the Imperial Hospital, who knew that the physicians in the Imperial Hospital always loved gossip.

After all, he often had the opportunity to travel between the inner palace and the residences of various princes and nobles, and had seen too many interesting things.

These doctors would be driven crazy if they didn't gossip.

"Alright, alright! That's enough. Have you finished all the work?"

Qin Shuming also wanted to gossip with them. Years ago, he went with Li Chengquan to the General's Mansion to see Zhao Jinzhong about his illness.

He was also curious about how Zhao Jinzhong had recovered from that hopeless illness to become the person he was today.

The imperial physicians dispersed and returned to their respective duties.

Zhou Ruo followed Li Chengquan into the library, where many imperial physicians were quietly organizing medical records and copying prescriptions.

The librarian was an elderly physician named Zhang Ji'an.

His hair was gray, and his back was hunched.

He strode quickly from the middle of the bookshelf toward Li Chengquan and the other two, his movements so light they seemed to fly, far beyond his years.

"Your Majesty, is there anything this old minister needs?"

Li Chengquan introduced Zhang Ji'an: "Physician Zhang, this is Young General Zhao Jinzhong, and this is......"

Zhou Ruo suddenly grabbed Physician Li's sleeve and introduced herself first:

"Hello, Physician Zhang. My name is Zhou Ruo, and I am your sister."

Zhou Ruo said with a bright smile that she did not want Physician Li to introduce her as the Little Miracle Doctor.

Otherwise, everyone would be surprised again, which would not only delay the work of the imperial physicians, but also delay her from finding medical books.

After saying that, Zhou Ruochao winked at Li Chengquan.

Lee Sung-kwon respectfully followed up on her words:

"Yes, this is Miss Zhao, the daughter of General Zhao. She wants to come here to read some medical books."

She can read whatever books on the shelf she wants; you don't need to tell her what to do.

Although Zhang Ji'an had doubts, he naturally responded to Li Chengquan's instructions, saying:

"Alright, Miss Zhou, please feel free to do as you please. If there's anything you can't reach, let me come and get it for you."

Zhang Ji'an has a granddaughter who is about the same age as Zhou Ruo. Whenever he sees Zhou Ruo, he thinks of his own child.

A sense of familiarity arises unconsciously.
