Chapter 142 This child is truly of good character.
Liu Zhengxuan closed his eyes tightly and put the uninjured arm in his mouth and bit it.
Zhou Ruo found his expression amusing.
She first waved her little hand back and forth on the broken hand, and then faintly heard a few "crackling" sounds.
Then Zhou Ruo swung her hand at his leg twice more, and heard a faint sound of broken bones coming back together.
After finishing, Zhou Ru clapped her hands and said lightly, "Okay!"
Seeing that Liu Zhengxuan did not react, she was still biting her arm tightly.
The beads of sweat on his forehead were probably from being scared.
Zhou Ruo slapped Liu Zhengxuan's hand hard, the hand that had just been healed.
With a snap, Liu Zhengxuan was pulled out of his tension.
Zhou Ruo's sudden movement startled even the servant boy.
He didn't know that Zhou Ruo had already cured Liu Zhengxuan. How much pain must his young master have felt when Zhou Ruo slapped him so hard?
However, the servant boy did not hear Liu Zhengxuan's screams.
Liu Zhengxuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ruo, "Doctor, what...what's wrong?"
Zhou Ru clicked her tongue and shouted helplessly into Liu Zhengxuan's ear, "I! Am! Completely! Cured!"
Servant B: "Huh?"
Liu Zhengxuan had some tinnitus, and he unconsciously raised the hand that Zhou Ruo had just healed to rub his ear.
"Doctor, you don't need to speak so loudly, I can hear you."
Suddenly, Liu Zhengxuan paused in rubbing his ear. He looked at Zhou Ruo suspiciously. "What did you say? You're done treating it?"
Liu Zhengxuan suddenly couldn't take it anymore.
It was already utterly absurd to let a child treat his illness.
How long has it been? He just closed his eyes for a moment, and the child said she was done treating him?
"This is too childish! Absolutely too childish!"
Liu Zhengxuan sat up angrily, habitually turned around and got out of bed, and was about to leave, intending to say that he would not receive treatment.
But the moment he stood on the ground, he froze, too afraid to move.
He said to his servant, "Come here quickly and help me up. Ouch, why can't I feel any pain anymore?"
Zhao Jinzhong walked out silently, then quickly came back in with paper and pen.
Liu Zhengxuan was still whimpering when Zhou Ruo sat down and started eating fruit, ignoring his reaction.
Zhao Jinzhong tossed the paper onto the bed, held out a pen to Liu Zhengxuan, and said,
"Liu Zhengxuan, if you keep performing, I'll have to charge you for the venue!"
Liu Zhengxuan immediately stopped whimpering, but he still found it hard to believe that his hands and feet had been healed.
"Young General, am I really cured? Why did I feel nothing at all before being cured?"
Zhao Jinzhong didn't want to talk. If there were such a fussy soldier in the army, he would have been dragged out and beaten to death long ago.
He stepped forward and punched Liu Zhengxuan in the arm that had just been injured.
Then he kicked the mangled leg again.
"Is it ready?" Zhao Jinzhong asked him.
Liu Zhengxuan then began to wave his arms, move his legs, and jump around.
"It's healed? Really healed? My goodness, it's really healed! This is amazing!"
He was so excited that he started practicing a set of punches on the spot, and only after he finished did he truly believe that he had been cured.
To prevent Liu Zhengxuan from going back on his word about the ten taels of gold, Zhao Jinzhong made him write a note.
"Come here and write it down clearly: you voluntarily pay ten taels of gold to Zhou Ruo, the doctor of Ling Shu Hall, as a consultation fee."
Liu Zhengxuan's face suddenly stiffened, and he felt a thousand regrets in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, ten taels of gold were gone—that was his allowance saved up for ten years!
Liu Zhengxuan finished writing the note with a long face.
Just as he put down his pen, the servant A returned to the Ling Shu Hall with ten taels of gold.
He was stunned to see Liu Zhengxuan standing on the ground moving his arms like a normal person.
Rubbing his eyes, he couldn't believe that the young master, who had been yelling and screaming just fifteen minutes ago, was now acting as if nothing had happened.
Servant B understood Servant A's astonishment perfectly; no one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.
B said to A, "You might not believe it, but that young doctor just dipped his hand and foot in a little sauce and poked at them, and the young master was cured."
With a heavy heart, Liu Zhengxuan handed the gold to Zhao Jinzhong, wiped away his tears, and left the Ling Shu Hall, turning back to look at Zhao Jinzhong every few steps.
Zhao Jinzhong looked at the heavy gold in his hands and felt a surge of joy.
It feels so good to beat up such a wicked person!
No wonder An Chang likes doing this kind of thing so much; as long as he feels at ease, he feels a great sense of accomplishment.
******
A few days ago, after the court session, Prince An had been trying to get the Emperor's permission to bestow the title of Princess upon Zhou Ruo.
However, the emperor was very busy with affairs of state. After the court session, many ministers lined up outside the imperial study to discuss state affairs with the emperor.
Prince An couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he was delayed for several days.
Today I finally have the opportunity to meet with the Emperor to discuss this matter.
Upon hearing what Prince An had reported, the Emperor's usually composed expression softened with disbelief.
However, the person who reported this was the Imperial Uncle, Prince An, and the person Prince An mentioned that the child had saved was the Dowager Consort.
Even if the emperor didn't quite believe it, he couldn't easily dismiss it.
"Prince An, am I hallucinating? A child not even five years old cured the Dowager Consort's illness?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak presumptuously, but it is indeed so."
The Emperor thought carefully for a moment, "So, the fact that the Imperial Concubine woke up three months ago was also thanks to this child?"
Prince An replied, "That's right."
"Was it her who sent someone to report to me when the Duke of Ling came to request an imperial decree for the General's Mansion to send a child to treat Ling Yu's illness?"
That's why he could become an emperor; his memory is truly exceptional.
Prince An was unaware that Duke Ling had requested permission for Zhou Ruo to treat Ling Yu.
"Your Majesty, this child is truly of excellent character!"
After reviving the Empress Dowager, she searched for a prescription to cure her illness and persisted for more than two months before she was completely cured.
Therefore, the Dowager Consort asked me to petition the Emperor to grant this child an official status, as a token of the Imperial Family's gratitude.
"Hmm..." The Emperor thought that the reason given by Prince An was appropriate.
But is a child really as powerful as Prince An claims?
He does want to meet the child.
"I do not object to the bestowal of the title of Princess. Bring her here so I can take a look."
"I want to see what kind of child possesses such miraculous medical skills, and why the Empress Dowager values him so highly."
Prince An received the Emperor's decree and appeared at the General's Mansion early the next morning.
Zhao Yucheng happened to be in the mansion as well, preparing to go to court.
Prince An told Zhao Yucheng about his request to the Emperor to bestow the title of Princess upon Zhou Ruo, and Zhao Yucheng was overjoyed.
Ji Ping gave Zhou Ruo a makeover and dressed her in a flowing white dress.
Prince An and Zhao Yucheng then led Zhou Ruo into the palace.
Along the way, Zhao Yucheng was worried and gave Zhou Ruo some tips on etiquette.
Prince An reassured him, "General Zhao, there's no need to be nervous. This child is very clever!"
Zhou Ruo followed her two "fathers" into the palace.
Clouds swirled above the palace in the early morning light.
Zhou Ruoyuan looked at the towering palaces, layer upon layer, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist.
Ascend the white jade steps of the dragon-carved imperial road to enter the Golden Palace.
The hall is over ten zhang high, and its interior walls are resplendent with gold and green, making it quite grand.
All of this reminded Zhou Ruo of the Cloud Palace where she lived in her previous life. "Hmm, it has that feel to it!"
Zhao Yucheng told her to wait aside, and that they would meet her after court.
"Father, don't worry, I know this place very well!"
Zhou Ruo felt like she was in a familiar place, and she walked to the side hall by herself with ease to wait.
