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

"Spiritual energy restored to 86%, activating the Spiritual Healer's Resonance!"

Zhou Ruo knew that "the power of spiritual healing resonance" meant that the immortal healer could resonate with the patient through spiritual power.

Then the patient's symptoms are projected onto external objects, such as stones, dead trees, or animals.

The mapped object will show symptoms similar to those of the patient.

The healing or repair of ailments on objects will resonate back into the patient, thus curing the patient's illness.

Zhou Ruo hardly used this ability in her previous life, since many illnesses could be cured directly through acupuncture or medicine.

So when she heard that she could activate this ability, she wasn't particularly happy.

But where did this 86% of spiritual power come from?

She excitedly ran to open the door and told Zhao Jinzhong about her restored spiritual power.

Zhao Jinzhong carefully calculated for Zhou Ruo, "Before you cured the Dowager Consort, your spiritual power had recovered to 74%, right?"

Zhou Ruo counted on her little fingers, then nodded, "Yes, brother."

Zhao Jinzhong didn't know why she was counting on her fingers. Could these percentages really be calculated by counting on fingers?

"That means that after you cured the Empress Dowager, your spiritual power has recovered by 15%."

Zhou Ruo was a little confused; perhaps because she had treated too many patients, she couldn't remember them all.

"Do you remember when you first revived the Dowager Consort, and her spiritual power recovered by one-third?"

Zhou Ruo thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh dear! I forgot about that!"

"So that's how it is! Wow~ Grandmother is truly a person of great virtue!"

After expressing her admiration for the Dowager Consort, Zhou Ruo turned to Zhao Jinzhong and exclaimed, "Brother, you're amazing! You remember it even better than I do."

Zhao Jinzhong was secretly delighted, and raised his head, saying, "That's right! Your brother here has even more amazing skills!"

"What is it?" Zhou Ruo asked curiously.

"You'll find out at the martial arts tournament the day after tomorrow; it'll open your eyes then."

As soon as Zhao Jinzhong said this, Zhou Ruo began to look forward to it, counting down the days on her fingers.

Later, Zhou Ruo told Zhao Jinzhong that the Empress Dowager's toes were in the same condition as Qian Lai's toes.

Zhao Jinzhong was about 50% certain that the person who killed Jia Guozhang was inextricably linked to the Imperial Advisor.

The Dowager Consort invited Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong to have breakfast together.

"You two siblings have been busy all night, have breakfast at Grandma's before you leave!"

After thanking the Dowager Consort, Zhao Jinzhong pulled Zhou Ruo to sit down.

Zhou Ruo sat at the table, looking at the sumptuous breakfast, feeling sleepy.

She pouted and said unconsciously, "Grandma, I'm hungry..."

The Dowager looked at the food on the table, then at Zhou Ruo's already full bowl, and found it amusing.

"Why aren't you eating if you're hungry? Do you want your grandmother to feed you?"

Zhou Ruo shook her head, "I don't want to eat these. Grandma, can you give me two pieces of fruit instead? *slurp*"

As she spoke, drool began to drip from the corner of her mouth.

The Dowager Princess put down her bowl and chopsticks, puzzled. "You don't want to eat any of these, you only want fruit?"

Zhou Ruo nodded weakly.

Zhao Jinzhong explained to the Dowager Consort, "Ruoruo's body is a little different from ours; she will feel more comfortable eating fruit."

Zhou Ruo nodded at the Empress Dowager.

"There's such a thing?" Although the Empress Dowager didn't understand, she had no choice but to spoil Zhou Ruo.

"Granny, go and get some fruit."

"If Ruo'er wants to eat fruit, that's easy. The Prince An's mansion has plenty of fruit, to say the least."

The orchards were plentiful, and some of the fruit that the vassal states presented to the emperor as tribute each year would also be allocated to them.

From now on, half of the fruit supplied by the Prince An's residence will be allocated to the General's residence.

As they were talking, Granny Li brought out a plate of carefully selected fruit.

There were peeled jackfruits, grapes, and several other fruits that Zhou Ruo often ate.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ruo's eyes lit up, and she instantly snapped back to reality.

She picked up the fruit and began working with both hands, looking just like a little child, completely unlike the person she was when performing acupuncture treatments.

The Dowager smiled and said, "That's how a child should behave." Her tone was full of affection.

"Hey! You two are still here?" An Changxing barged in.

"I heard the servants report to my parents early this morning that Ruoruo has completely cured my grandmother."

When the Dowager saw An Chang arrive, she was pleased. "Chang'er, you've come at the right time. Have a meal with your grandmother."

"Alright!" An Chang rubbed his hands together, his mouth watering as he looked at the food on the table.

"Grandmother, this is too lavish! I have never seen you eat such a sumptuous breakfast before."

"It's definitely for Ruoruo and the others, you're so biased!"

"Yes, I'm being biased, but what can you do about it?" The Dowager Consort didn't mince words.

"If you can cure your grandmother like Ruo'er did, you can have the same treatment."

An Chang snorted and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat.

After taking a couple of bites, she muttered softly, "Ruoruo was brought back by me! Oh well, getting her is a bonus!"

An Chang's words made everyone laugh.

The Dowager Consort had just finished her breakfast when Prince An and Princess Yu arrived.

"Mother, you've recovered completely?" Prince An was quite surprised when he heard the servant say that.

"Jingding, Yuling, you're here!"

When the Dowager saw her son and daughter-in-law appear at this moment, she felt a sense of happiness, as if she had been reborn after a disaster and that the family was finally reunited.

The Dowager Consort then recounted to Prince An the entire process of Zhou Ruo's treatment of her that morning.

Zhou Ruo stayed up all night to find the antidote and rushed to Prince An's mansion before dawn.

There was also a problem with his toes; in the end, he vomited half a basin of poisonous blood.

Prince An was deeply moved after hearing this, recalling his initial cold attitude towards Zhou Ruobing.

The child never held a grudge and always focused on curing his mother's illness, never giving up.

Prince An stood before Zhou Ruo, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to Zhou Ruo:

"My child, I really have to thank you this time!"

Zhou Ru chuckled, waving her small hands in front of her. "You're welcome, it's what I should do."

She learned this phrase from Zhao Jinzhong. Every time Zhao Jinzhong helped her, she would say "Thank you, brother."

Zhao Jinzhong would always say, "Don't mention it, it's what I should do, brother."

Zhou Ruo's appearance reminded Princess Yu of her own daughter, An Nan, who was still quite immature. She exclaimed, "How can this child be so sensible!"

This time, Prince An willingly said to the Dowager Consort, "Mother, when I enter the palace tomorrow, I will ask the Emperor for permission to bestow the title of Princess Zhou Ruo."

The Dowager Princess nodded, deeply pleased. "Good! Good! It should have been done long ago."

Zhao Jinzhong nudged Zhou Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, hurry up and thank the Prince!"

Zhou Ruo didn't understand, but she did as instructed. She stood up, mimicked Prince An's earlier actions, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying:

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone was amused by Zhou Ruo's adorable antics.

Two days later, the annual martial arts tournament among aristocratic families began.

The martial arts competition was held in the city market, not far from the Ling Shu Hall.

Nearly a hundred prominent families from Beijing participated in the competition.

The arena was set up in a relatively open area, surrounded by teahouses and restaurants.

The upstairs was packed with distinguished guests, and the locals downstairs spontaneously built steps to make it easier for more audience members to sit.

An Chang had booked a private room at Ting Si Tea House long ago, specifically for watching the match before he and Zhao Jinzhong went on stage.

"This year's competition is divided into three rounds, with about thirty people in each round. The top three will advance to the finals. I'll go in the second round, and you'll go in the third."

An Changzai explained the competition rules to Zhao Jinzhong. Zhao Jinzhong had not participated in the competition for two years, so he might not be aware of some of the rule changes.

For example, Liu Zhengxuan from the Duke of Liu's mansion won the championship for two consecutive years, so he didn't need to participate in the previous competitions this year.

They've gone straight to the finals.
