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

Zhao Jinzhong felt that this scene seemed familiar.

He asked Zhou Ruo in a low voice:

"Ruoruo, how come this is so similar to the time when Aunt Song wore the jade pendant? I heard you say that her jade pendant also had black aura."

Zhou Ruo responded to Zhao Jinzhong in a low voice.

"Yes, brother, jade pendants are easy to use to cast spells and curses on people, and they are not easily detected when worn on the body."

"However, the Crown Prince's jade pendant is different from Consort Song's; the Crown Prince's is much more powerful."

The crown prince gradually recovered from his shock at the black aura emanating from the jade pendant. "Zhou Ruo, what will happen if I wear this jade pendant?"

Zhou Ruo thought for a moment, then stood up, covering her chest with one hand and pounding her chest with the other.

He was hunched over, coughing violently, and his face was flushed red.

After saying that, Zhou Ruo regained her composure and told the Crown Prince, "Like this."

An Chang chuckled, truly impressed by Zhou Ruo. She was clearly quite clever, but...

"Why don't you just say you have chest tightness and shortness of breath?"

Zhou Ruo slapped her hand on the table. "Ah, right! That's it! Brother An Chang is quite smart, hehe!"

Zhao Jinzhong: "..."

The crown prince fell silent.

Zhou Ruo found the Crown Prince's condition strange, so she calmed down and examined his symptoms again.

She discovered that when she used her spiritual power to look ahead, all she saw was a blurry blur.

A person without a soul cannot have their spiritual power utilized.

However, she can still see what is causing the prince's illness through his symptoms.

But when she tried to see what was behind all the things that had made the Crown Prince sick, she could no longer see them.

Therefore, Zhou Ruo judged that among the Crown Prince's three souls and seven spirits, the soul was still intact, but the spirits had been damaged.

However, not much of his soul was damaged; it should be that one soul was lost.

Those who plotted to harm the crown prince were scheming and premeditated.

He didn't want the crown prince to have an immediate problem; he just wanted the crown prince to gradually develop symptoms.

The Crown Prince couldn't understand who wanted to harm him. Was it Consort Ling? Or was it for the position of Crown Prince?

No matter who it is, he will never let the villains succeed!

The crown prince asked Zhou Ruo, "How should I remedy my problem?"

Zhou Ruo spoke frankly,

"Your Highness, one of your seven souls has been eaten, which is why you fainted."

That jade pendant is consuming your second soul. After it consumes your second soul, you will experience... chest tightness and shortness of breath.

The prince was first frightened by the jade pendant, and now, upon hearing that his soul had been eaten, his legs went weak.

Zhao Jinzhong and the other two were also hearing about such a thing for the first time, and they all found it unbelievable.

Zhao Jinzhong was puzzled. "The soul was eaten? By whom?"

Zhou Ruo: "Being scented."

The crown prince was greatly alarmed. He said,

"The incense in that burner was given to me by my mother to refresh me when I was tired from studying. It was even a tribute from the Western Regions!"

"My mother wouldn't possibly harm me, would she?!"

The Seventh Princess also helped analyze the situation: "It's probably not the Empress who wants to harm my brother, but rather the person who offered incense to the Empress who wants to harm you."

The Crown Prince nodded, agreeing with what the Seventh Princess said.

An Chang suddenly had a brilliant idea, "Ruo Ruo, since the Crown Prince's soul was eaten, why don't you help him get it back?"

The Seventh Princess thought An Chang was exaggerating. "Zhou Ruo is still a child, not a Taoist priest. How could he possibly recover his lost soul?"

"Ziying, you don't know this, Zhou Ruo can also tell fortunes! Last time, the Imperial Concubine ate..."

An Chang almost revealed that Consort Zheng had taken the antidote pill, but Zhao Jinzhong interrupted him in time.

"Really?" The Seventh Princess exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Zhou Ruo can tell fortunes?"

Zhou Ruo smiled.

"I can't tell fortunes. We need to know where the prince's soul that was eaten went in order to get it back."

Yes, after Xunxiang ate Po, where did Po go?

Upon hearing this, the crown prince suddenly stood up and moved away from the jade pendant, saying, "I'm not wearing this anymore!"

"Brother, if you don't wear that jade pendant, won't Consort Ling notice?" the Seventh Princess asked.

The crown prince sneered, "How would she know...?"

"Could it be that I have planted Consort Ling's people in my Eastern Palace?" The Crown Prince suddenly realized.

The Crown Prince suddenly felt that the entire Eastern Palace, no, the entire Imperial Palace, was no longer safe.

Zhou Ruoxin thought that she couldn't find the lost soul of the Crown Prince for the time being, but she could protect the other six souls of the Crown Prince first.

So she set up a barrier around the jade pendant, and the dirty things on the pendant were all contained within the barrier, so they couldn't harm the crown prince.

She handed the jade pendant back to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, I just told it, it won't hurt you anymore, don't be afraid!"

The crown prince felt strange listening to a five-year-old child offering words of comfort.

He took the jade pendant with a hint of skepticism. "It really won't devour my soul?"

"Yes! It can't eat it!" Zhou Ruo said definitively.

She then added, "You can't light the incense anymore, and you can't hug that ball either."

The prince hesitated, "But what if I don't sleep with that bronze ball..."

Zhou Ruo sighed, "That bronze ball will eat your soul too. If you hold it for too long, you won't be able to have a baby!"

"What? I'm holding it so I can have more little princes!"

Zhou Ruo shook her head, mimicking the tone of the storyteller outside the Ling Shu Hall: "Ignorant child!"

An Chang sprayed a mouthful of tea directly onto the table, coughing until his face turned bright red.

Zhao Jinzhong could no longer stop Zhou Ruo from talking, so he simply stopped trying.

The seventh princess wanted to laugh but dared not.

An Nan, on the other hand, was laughing at An Chang's disheveled state...

Seeing the insincere expressions on everyone's faces, the Crown Prince became somewhat exasperated.

But what could he do? He still needed Zhou Ruo's help and couldn't lose his temper with her lest he frighten her.

Zhou Ruo didn't understand her older siblings' strange reactions.

She thought that her spiritual power had recovered to 86%, and was only a little over 10% away from being fully recovered.

However, the power of spiritual energy is still bound by the soul.

When his spiritual power was normal, Zhou Ruo could tell at a glance what was truly devouring his soul behind the incense, jade pendant, and copper ball.

She was unhappy that such a large difference in ability could be made with only a 14% difference in spiritual power.

What she felt frustrated about was that if she had a Soul-Protecting Pill or a Spirit-Preserving Pill, she could have given them directly to the Crown Prince, and she wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.

She now needs to create a protective barrier around the jade pendant to prevent the crown prince from being harmed by it.

She couldn't access the incense and the copper ball, so she couldn't completely protect the prince from the harm caused by these two things.

The only advice I can give is for the Crown Prince to stay away from these things for now.

Even if you don't have any pills or elixirs, a talisman will do.

She drew a talisman for the prince, which could also protect his soul.

Zhou Ruo sighed heavily, and her sigh startled the Crown Prince.

"Zhou...Zhou Ruo, what do you mean by this? Am I beyond saving?"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I can't think of a way to save you right now."

All I can do for now is help you stop being hurt by those things.

"Let me think of a way. When the time is right, I can help you repair your damaged soul!"

Zhou Ruo had a premonition that she could do it, just like the process of treating the Empress Dowager.

With insufficient spiritual power, I can only try to find ways to cope little by little.

If the patient is fortunate enough to have this, they will surely find a way to cope with it.

"Alright...alright...then hurry up and think of a solution for me..." The Crown Prince was restless, as if he had lost his soul.

Oh no, he did lose a part of his soul.
