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

More than an hour later, Zhou Ruo was carried out of the library by Zhao Jinzhong and then out of the Imperial Hospital.

Zhou Ruo lay dizzy on Zhao Jinzhong's back, unable to speak.

Zhao Jinzhong walked slowly back to the general's mansion, his feelings complicated.

Just now, in the hidden compartment of the library, Zhou Ruo read the two shelves of alchemical books ten times.

In that poorly ventilated and dimly lit place, she used her "spiritual eyes" to examine nearly a thousand books.

As a result, Zhou Ruo became "dizzy from reading".

Zhou Ruo said weakly, "Brother, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy..."

"Ugh... I'll feel better in a bit, don't worry!"

Zhao Jinzhong was puzzled. "Don't you already know what those books are about as soon as you get close to them? Why do you need to read them so many times?"

Zhou Ruo mimicked an adult's tone: "Hey! You don't understand!"

"Those books are absolutely wonderful! I never imagined there were such beautiful books in this world!"

Zhao Jinzhong: "Have you found a way to deal with the spirit insects?"

Zhou Ruo was taken aback. "Huh?"

She discovered that those "ancient alchemical texts" clearly explained the methods, effects, and medical principles of refining various elixirs.

It also tells many fascinating stories about how our ancestors refined elixirs.

Zhou Ruo did not have such in-depth research on alchemy in her previous life.

Encountering these books this time was like enjoying a feast for the eyes.

"I...I forgot about that..."

Zhao Jinzhong: "..."

"Brother, let me think about it!" The contents of those books were already deeply etched in Zhou Ruo's mind.

If she puts everything together again, she should make some discoveries, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"But...yue..." Zhou Ruo felt dizzy again when she thought about the contents of the book.

I'm totally dizzy.

Back at the general's mansion, Zhao Jinzhong escorted Zhou Ruo back to Lanxiang Courtyard.

Ji Ping was engrossed in reading "The Romance of the Western Chamber" when she looked up and saw Zhou Ruo sitting blankly on the bed, looking quite adorable.

Ji Ping closed the book, held it in her hand, and walked towards Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Jinzhong was sitting at the table eating snacks and drinking tea.

Most of the day had passed, and he was starving.

But strangely enough, Zhou Ruo read for more than two hours straight without saying she was hungry.

Ji Ping sat down next to Zhou Ruo and asked her, "Why are you sitting here? Aren't you going to have some pastries with your brother?"

Zhou Ruo's blank gaze shifted to the fruit cake in front of Zhao Jinzhong.

Ji Ping followed her gaze and said, "Those were all specially made for you by Master Zheng."

"Eat...I want to eat...I'm hungry..." Zhou Ruo said blankly.

Zhao Jinzhong smiled and brought the whole plate of pastries to her.

As Zhou Ruo bent down to pick up some snacks, she inadvertently noticed the book in Ji Ping's hand.

"Hmm?" Zhou Ruo's eyes suddenly lit up, but it was a light of doubt.

"Mother, what book are you holding?"

As Zhou Ruo asked the question, she put the pastry she was holding back and reached for the book in Ji Ping's hand.

Zhao Jinzhong was slightly surprised. He had seen her so dizzy from reading on the way back. Was she going to continue reading now?

Zhou Ruo, holding a book, looked up at Zhao Jinzhong and said, "Brother, I can't see this book."

Zhao Jinzhong: "?"

Ji Ping's heart tightened. She grabbed Zhou Ruo's face with both hands, lifted her cheeks, and looked her eyes from left to right.

She asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Ruo'er's eyes?"

Zhou Ruo's mouth was squeezed into an "oh" shape. She swallowed and mumbled, "Oh."

"Mother, be gentle, it hurts..."

Seeing Ji Ping's nervous expression, Zhao Jinzhong realized she must have misunderstood and quickly explained:

"Mother, Ruoruo isn't having an eye problem; she simply can't see the contents of this book."

Ji Ping was even more puzzled. "Ruo'er hasn't even opened the book, of course she can't see it. Have you two siblings gone mad?"

"Mother, you don't know this..."

Zhao Jinzhong sat down next to Ji Ping and, like a storyteller, recounted the events that had occurred at the Imperial Hospital that day.

After listening, Ji Ping chuckled and said, "Zhong'er, I've noticed that your storytelling skills have improved a lot."

"After your younger siblings are born, you'll be the one to tell them stories."

"Mother!" Zhao Jinzhong laughed angrily, "I wasn't telling a story!"

"The books in the Imperial Medical Academy's library, and the remaining thousand books, Ruo'er can finish reading them in two hours? Heh..." Ji Ping didn't believe it.

Zhou Ruo rarely saw her brother and mother talking like this, and she watched with schadenfreude.

Zhao Jinzhong complained to Zhou Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, Mother doesn't believe me!"

Zhou Ruo smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay!"

What's true can't be faked; no further proof is needed.

"I think I can only see the contents of medical books." Zhou Ruo came to this conclusion after thinking about it.

Zhao Jinzhong thought about it and realized that things seemed to be the way they were.

Moreover, Zhou Ruo only activated her spiritual eye power after her spiritual power had recovered to 60%.

It now appears that this spiritual eye power not only allows her to see the lesions on patients' bodies, but also to visualize medical books.

As evening approached, Siqiao hurriedly ran into Jiping's room to report:

"Madam, someone from the Duke of Ling's mansion has arrived. They say they have important business to discuss with the young general and young lady."

"Duke Ling?" Ji Ping was quite surprised. After all, the General's Mansion and the Duke Ling's Mansion had never had any dealings. Why would they suddenly come knocking on their door?

She turned her gaze to Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo, and asked them with a serious expression, "Did you two siblings get into trouble outside?"

"Mother! How could we have gotten into trouble?" Zhao Jinzhong was unhappy because Ji Ping had wronged him twice in one day.

He asked Siqiao, "Who are the people from the Duke of Ling's mansion?"

Siqiao: "Just a servant boy."

Zhao Jinzhong smiled wryly, "Go tell him that Ruoruo and I are not at home; we've gone on a long trip."

Siqiao was puzzled. She saw that the servant looked flustered, so he must have something urgent to attend to.

But she dared not disobey the young general, nor did she dare to ask any more questions.

She glanced at Ji Ping: "This...?"

Ji Ping walked to Zhao Jinzhong's side. "Zhong'er, what happened? Should your father come back to handle it?"

Zhao Jinzhong calmly said, "Mother, there's no need for Father. I know what I'm doing."

After listening to her son's words, Ji Ping said to Si Qiao, "Do as Zhong'er says, go ahead."

Siqiao accepted the order and turned around to send away the servants from the Duke of Ling's mansion.

Ji Ping suddenly realized that her two children's lives were truly rich and colorful.

I wonder if Zhou Ruo will be able to live a peaceful life after she is granted the title of princess and her medical skills become famous.

Ji Ping, supporting her lower back, walked to the table and sat down. She was four months pregnant.

With two children in her womb, she showed early and felt tired easily.

"Zhong'er, come here, tell your mother the story of you and the Duke of Ling's mansion again."

After resting for a while, Zhou Ruo's dizziness finally subsided.

When she heard Ji Ping asking Zhao Jinzhong to tell her a story, she happily ran over and sat down next to Ji Ping.

He gazed at Zhao Jinzhong with expectant eyes.

She even moved the pastries in front of her to arrange them neatly, and then picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Ji Ping and herself with trembling hands.
