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

"You...you've read it all?" Lee Sung-kwon's first reaction was disbelief, and he even had a "child talking big" expression on his face.

However, he quickly learned from his experience of questioning Zhou Ruo's medical skills at the Prince An's residence. Now he had to be cautious and didn't want to be proven wrong again.

"Imperial Physician Li, what Ruoruo said is true; she has read through all the books here." Zhao Jinzhong understood the two imperial physicians' reaction.

He looked at Zhang Ji'an, who smiled, a hint of mockery in his voice: "Head of the Academy, children speak without thinking!"

Li Chengquan raised an arm at Zhang Ji'an, stopping him from speaking.

Li Chengquan walked to the bookshelf, randomly picked out a book, and wanted to verify what Zhou Ruo had said.

He no longer questions people to their faces; he wants the facts to speak for themselves.

Without exception, just like Zhou Ruo's answer to Zhao Jinzhong.

Li Chengquan picked out five or six books in succession, and she was able to condense the contents of the books into a concise narrative.

This time, even the usually composed and calm old physician Zhang Ji'an lost his composure.

He also personally experienced the process of drawing a book to test Zhou Ruo.

Of course, he would only be more shocked.

"Hospital...Hospital Director...am I hallucinating because I'm poisoned?" Zhang Ji'an asked Li Chengquan.

Old age and blurred vision alone cannot produce such an unreal feeling, unless one is poisoned and experiencing hallucinations.

Li Chengquan patted Zhang Ji'an on the shoulder sympathetically and comforted him: "Dr. Zhang, don't be surprised."

If I told you that it was Miss who healed the young general's legs, how would you react?

Zhang Ji'an stared in disbelief for a moment, then suddenly fainted.

"Doctor Zhang! Doctor Zhang!" Li Chengquan called out as he supported him.

Upon hearing this, four or five imperial physicians nearby immediately gathered around.

"What's wrong with Physician Zhang?"

Li Chengquan pressed Zhang Ji'an's philtrum with one hand, unsure how to explain to the imperial physicians.

Zhou Ruo stood close to Zhao Jinzhong, looking embarrassed.

She whispered to Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, he fainted from fright. Did I do something wrong?"

Zhou Ruo was quite helpless. She was used to people questioning and mocking her all the time.

Zhang Ji'an was the first person to faint from fright at her abilities.

When pressing on Li Chengquan's philtrum proved ineffective, he had no choice but to send a royal physician to the imperial pharmacy to obtain two pills to restore his vitality.

"Sigh..." Zhou Ruo sighed, deciding to clean up the mess she had made. "Doctor Li, let me do it!"

Li Chengquan placed three fingers on Zhang Ji's wrist to take his pulse, and Zhou Ruo's words made him obediently respond:

"Alright! Alright! Miss, please come here."

He also wanted to see Zhou Ruo's medical skills.

The imperial physicians around him were stunned. "What does the head physician mean?"

"Bring this child here? What does she want?"

Everyone saw Zhou Ruo take out a silver needle.

"Needles! This child is holding silver needles! Is she going to give her acupuncture?"

"No? Is this a joke?"

"Head Physician!" one of the imperial physicians called out anxiously.

Along with the sound, Zhou Ruo's silver needle fell.

The silver needle was inserted below Zhang Ji'an's neck.

Zhang Ji'an immediately coughed, and Zhou Ruo promptly removed the needle.

He coughed violently a few more times, coughing up a mouthful of phlegm, and then his breathing became easier, and he woke up.

"Am I seeing things? She just inserted the needle and Doctor Zhang woke up?"

"What acupoint was that she just needled?"

"It seems so..."

Li Chengquan, not wanting to hear the imperial physicians' chatter around him, said, "Alright, everyone, let's get back to work!"

The imperial physicians dared not disobey and immediately dispersed.

He left, but kept turning back to look at Zhang Ji'an.

After returning to their seats, they continued to sit at the table and discuss among themselves.

Zhang Ji'an woke up to find that he had just fainted.

"Director, am I really poisoned?" Zhang Ji'an's mind went blank.

Lee Sing-Chuan: "I wasn't poisoned, I was just scared unconscious."

As expected, old age weakens one's resilience; even the experienced Physician Zhang was so frightened that he fainted.

Zhang Ji'an sat up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. "Thank you, Head of the Hospital, for reviving me."

Li Chengquan was somewhat embarrassed. "It wasn't me who woke you up, it was Miss Zhou Ruo."

Zhang Ji'an looked at Zhou Ruo, and the events before he fainted came flooding back into his mind.

At this moment, the imperial physician who had gone to the imperial pharmacy to get the pills finally returned.

"Chief Physician, the medicine has arrived. Oh? Physician Zhang has woken up?"

Zhang Ji'an looked at the two pills in his hand, then at Zhou Ruo.

A child, even younger than his granddaughter, revived him.

It wasn't the head physician who revived him; it was because the head physician couldn't revive him that the imperial physician went to get medicine.

So, this child's medical skills are even better than the hospital director's.

After quickly processing the deductions in his mind, Zhang Ji'an's eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.

This time, Li Chengquan didn't call him again. Li Chengquan not only shut his mouth but also closed his eyes.

Instead, the imperial physician who was holding the medicine stepped forward to support Zhang Ji'an and called out to him.

The imperial physicians who were seated ran back.

Li Chengquan felt powerless and said to the imperial physicians, "You few, help Physician Zhang away."

Give him the pills and let him rest for a while.

After the imperial physicians helped Zhang Ji'an away, Li Chengquan said with shame, "I'm sorry to have made you both laugh."

Zhao Jinzhong: "It's alright."

Zhou Ruo: "We're used to it."

However, this person's reaction today was indeed a bit outrageous.

Li Chengquan got back to the main point and asked Zhou Ruo, "Miss, you said there are no medical books here that you are looking for."

"So, which medical book are you looking for?"

"Books related to spirit insects," Zhou Ruo admitted.

"A spirit insect?" Li Chengquan gave the same reaction as Zhang Ji'an. "What is a spirit insect?"

At this moment, Zhou Ruo dared to face the appearance of the spirit insect: "It is a very ugly insect."

They can live inside human bodies, and also inside animal bodies.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengquan asked in bewilderment, "Why would you need to find medical books related to this kind of insect?"

"These insects are really dangerous. They specifically target sick areas inside a person's body, making the person even sicker."

I want to know where these spirit insects came from, and I'm going to exterminate them!

When Zhou Ruo finished speaking, her eyes shone with unwavering determination.

Li Chengquan understood, and he deeply admired Zhou Ruo's dedication as a doctor.

This is hardly the breadth of mind and perspective a child should have.

Is this divine intervention?

He thought about it carefully for a while, then said to Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong, "Come with me."

Li Chengquan led the two to a wall, pressed a switch, and opened a hidden door.

He took an oil lamp from the side and led Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong inside.

A strong smell of old books wafted from behind the hidden door.

"This is a hidden compartment in our Imperial Medical Academy's library, specifically for storing some ancient and precious books."

Li Chengquan led Zhou Ruo and the other person to a more secluded location and said to Zhou Ruo:

"Miss, these two shelves contain books on alchemy from our ancestors, which are over a thousand years old."

This old minister recalls that there seems to be a record in alchemical texts that some elixirs leave residual toxins in the body after consumption.

The human body's reaction to these residual toxins is somewhat similar to the interference you just mentioned from the spirit insect.
