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

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Ruo inserted three needles into Cai Jingsi's arrow wound.

Then, with a wave of her hand, she collected all the snake venom from his body.

After only a moment, she removed the silver needles and said, "All done!"

"What?" Cai Jingsi's guards were all shocked.

They felt that since the adult had been poisoned, shouldn't they see the adult vomiting black blood during the detoxification process?

But the child's needle insertion and withdrawal speed was so fast that Lord Cai had not yet reacted!

Even Li Wan'an couldn't see clearly what Zhou Ruo did; he only saw her insert the silver needle and then pull it out a few breaths later.

"Miss, you...you...Lord Cai's poison has been cured?" Li Wan'an asked incredulously.

Zhou Ruo nodded and said to him, "It's done!"

"But..." Before Li Wan'an could finish his question, he heard Cai Jingsi coughing and panting.

What they didn't know was that those deadly poisons that were deadly to patients were treasures to Zhou Ruo.

She couldn't bear to let these treasures come out of the patients' mouths; she wanted to keep them all for herself and not waste a single one!

"My lord is awake! My lord is awake!"

The guards stepped forward and gently helped Cai Jingsi sit up.

"Jia Yuntian, give him some water!" Zhou Ruochong said to Jia Yuntian.

Jia Yuntian stood frozen in place, not even hearing Zhou Ruo speak to him.

Zhao Jinzhong noticed that he was not in good condition; his face was pale and his hands were clenched into fists.

His gaze towards Cai Jingsi was filled with a strong sense of hostility. Was it hatred?

"Yuntian? Yuntian?" Zhao Jinzhong called out twice before Jia Yuntian slowly came back to his senses.

Are you alright?

"Oh! Heh... Young General, I'm fine." Jia Yuntian's tone was slightly guilty.

Zhao Jinzhong noticed that Jia Yuntian's condition had been off ever since he was asked about the Vermilion Bird Grass that day.

Zhao Jinzhong felt that there must have been other hidden reasons behind the Jia family's downfall and Jia Guozhang's execution.

What about Jia Yuntian's other family members? Why was he so terrified of the Vermilion Bird Grass?

And now, he seems to harbor hatred towards Cai Jingsi. What exactly has he been through?

"Go and pour Lord Cai a glass of water," Zhao Jinzhong said to Jia Yuntian again.

Jia Yuntian hesitated for a moment before replying, "Oh, okay."

When Zhao Jinzhong turned to look at Zhou Ruo again, Zhou Ruo had already cured the poisoned guard.

It seems that as Zhou Ruoling's spiritual power has increased, she has become more adept at detoxification and healing, and her speed has also improved.

After the guard slowly woke up, he saw that Cai Jingsi was also awake and able to get out of bed.

And my arm can move freely without any pain.

He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to Zhou Ruo, saying, "Thank you so much for saving my life, Doctor! I have been very rude!"

Where was the arrogance he displayed when he first reprimanded Zhou Ruo?

Cai Jingsi's accidental arrow wound in the street turned out to be a false alarm; he narrowly escaped death, but the killer's whereabouts remained unknown.

In addition, the Ministry of Justice had important cases waiting for him to handle, so after thanking Zhou Ruo, he paid her another twenty taels of silver as a reward.

Then he left in a hurry.

"Spiritual power restored to 74%!"

Zhou Ruo didn't know Cai Jingsi's identity, but since healing him could increase her spiritual power, it meant that this person was quite powerful.

Jia Yuntian watched Cai Jingsi leave from behind the medicine cabinet, clenching his teeth and unable to resist punching the table.

His movements attracted the attention of Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang.

An often teased him, "What are you doing? Reluctant to see Lord Cai leave?"

Jia Yuntian said restrainedly, "No, that's not it!"

An Chang ignored him.

Jia Yuntian's attitude toward Cai Jingsi further confirmed Zhao Jinzhong's suspicions.

Zhao Jinzhong walked to the counter and asked Jia Yuntian in a low voice, "Was Cai Jingsi the presiding judge of your family's case back then?"

Jia Yuntian looked at Zhao Jinzhong in surprise, feeling that Zhao Jinzhong seemed to have discovered something.

Although the Jia family case was tried in secret, the raid on their home caused quite a stir.

On second thought, the young general is a government official, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find out who presided over the case back then.

Therefore, Jia Yuntian did not intend to hide this fact, saying, "Yes, he was the presiding judge."

"What is the charge?" Zhao Jinzhong continued to press.

They spoke in hushed tones, and Jia Yuntian glanced behind Zhao Jinzhong.

An Chang and Zhou Ruo didn't look in their direction. After hesitating for a long time, Jia Yuntian said two words: "Deceiving the emperor."

Zhao Jinzhong felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and then he felt something was amiss.

The Jia family were imperial merchants of medicinal herbs, supplying the court with medicinal materials. How could they have deceived the emperor?

"Supplying fake medicine?" Zhao Jinzhong blurted out.

Jia Yuntian's pupils dilated, and his breathing became somewhat erratic. "Young General, our Jia family has never sold counterfeit medicine!"

Zhao Jinzhong realized he had been somewhat presumptuous. "I'm sorry, I..."

"These are the charges against us by the imperial court, the charges brought by Cai Jingsi!"

Jia Yuntian's anger burst forth, his fists clenched, and he spoke in a low voice with great restraint.

However, the tense atmosphere attracted An Chang's attention.

"What are you two talking about? So secretive."

Zhao Jinzhong turned to An Chang and replied, "It's nothing. I just learned about some medicinal herbs from Yun Tian."

"What's so interesting about medicinal herbs..." An Chang asked, puzzled, and continued to play with the object.

Zhao Jinzhong then turned back to Jia Yuntian and said, "Yuntian, I can believe you if you say you've never sold counterfeit medicine."

Jia Yuntian let out a barely audible sigh of relief, and his expression softened somewhat.

"The herb *Vermilion Birdweed* is really important to us; it can save many lives. If you know of this herb, please let me know."

Upon hearing Zhao Jinzhong's words, Jia Yuntian's expression, which had just calmed down, became wary again.

"Young General, I have only seen the Vermilion Bird Grass in medical books, that's all."

Although he sensed that Jia Yuntian was hiding something, Zhao Jinzhong did not intend to press him any further.

Nodding, Zhao Jinzhong turned and walked away.

In a dilapidated temple in the wilderness, four or five men huddled together by a fire to keep warm.

Beside them lay a man with a dark complexion, and several knives and arrows were scattered on the ground.

"Damn, Cai Jingsi is incredibly lucky! Even the Serpent Spirit couldn't kill him!"

"Eldest brother, let's hurry and send the second brother to the Ling Shu Hall too!"

Fu Da was the leader of these people, and the one who shot Cai Jingsi with a poisoned arrow.

The second son, named Qian Lai, was bitten by a snake while extracting venom from it and was also poisoned by snake spirit venom.

But two days have passed, and Qian Lai is still alive, only on the verge of death.

Fu Da: "Calm down, let's wait for Lao San to come back with the information. Going out now could easily lead to trouble!"

"Boss! Boss!"

The third brother, Caiwang, ran into the dilapidated temple, panting heavily.

"I've found out everything. There's only one doctor in Ling Shu Hall, and she's a little girl who's not even five years old."

"Child?"

"Third brother, are you seeing things?"

When Caiwang first heard this, he also thought it was impossible, so he squatted outside the Ling Shu Hall for a long time.

"I'm not lying to you, there's something even more shocking, do you know what it is?"

"What?"

Caiwang: "I saw the young master! He's working as a waiter in the Ling Shu Hall!"

"ah?!"
