Zhou Ruo: "Has she taken any elixirs?"

Sheng Aotian, as if saying something I was about to say, said, "Yes, she also took pills, but she..."

He wanted to say that his sister had also taken the pills, but she hadn't developed any symptoms.

But then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his younger sister, Sheng Yueyi, for several days.

"Hey? Where's Yueyi? Why didn't she come to see Mother when she was sick?"

Only then did Granny Yang realize that something was wrong.

In the past, the young lady would come to pay her respects to the madam every day, but she hasn't been seen for several days in a row.

"Qingqiu, go check on the young lady quickly. If she's here, ask her to come over."

Granny Yang gave Qingqiu instructions.

Qingqiu accepted the order and left Su Wan's room, heading towards Sheng Yueyi's courtyard.

Having just regained consciousness, Su Wan still didn't quite understand what illness she had.

She followed the gaze of Granny Yang and asked, "Granny, what illness do I have?"

Granny Yang immediately replied, "Madam, you have a heart condition...wait, what illness was it again?"

She finished speaking, then turned back to ask Zhou Ruo.

A clear voice rang out from inside the room: "Heart-devouring disease!"

"Oh right, right! Heart disease."

Su Wan lifted her head slightly, looking towards the source of the clear sound.

Only then did I realize that there was a child under five years old standing by the bed.

"Who are you?"

Granny Yang introduced them again: "Madam, this is Princess Ji'an, and also the young general."

"Huh?" Su Wan was clearly startled. She forced herself to sit up and tried to get out of bed to greet Zhou Ruo.

"How can I let the princess treat my illness?"

Zhou Ruo walked up and sat directly on the edge of her bed, saying to her, "Madam, your body is blocked by damp heat."

These illnesses have trapped your heart, which is why you have so many symptoms.

Su Wan seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment of silence, she asked Zhou Ruo, "So, does the princess mean there's something wrong with my heart meridian?"

Zhou Ruo nodded and said, "That's right."

Su Wan suddenly remembered what her mother looked like before she died.

At that time, her mother clutched her chest tightly, and her symptoms were somewhat similar to her own today.

By the time the doctor arrived, her mother had already suffocated to death.

"Princess, is my heart meridian problem related to my mother?" Su Wan asked, slightly nervously.

Zhou Ruo nodded again, thinking that this lady was very clever.

"And my daughter..."

Before Su Wan could finish speaking, Qingqiu rushed in from outside, panting, and said...

"Oh no! The young lady has fainted from a rash!"

As soon as Qingqiu finished speaking, Sheng Aotian reacted the most.

He looked incredulous, recalling what Zhou Ruo had just said: his mother's illness was caused by taking the elixir.

He couldn't help but shout, "How is this possible?!"

He and his colleagues bought this medicine, saving them a lot of money compared to other women who bought it.

His wife praised him for this, saying he was a shrewd and thrifty man.

Sheng Aotian was overjoyed for several days and asked his colleagues to buy two more portions for his mother and sister.

This is clearly proof that he knows how to manage a household, so how could he be the culprit for his mother and sister's illness?

Sheng Aotian rushed ahead, heading angrily towards his sister's courtyard.

When Su Wan heard that her daughter had also fallen ill, she was extremely anxious and tried to get out of bed.

Granny Yang immediately stepped forward to support her, "Madam, you've just woken up, you can't get out of bed yet."

"Yi'er, my Yi'er..." Su Wan's tears flowed instantly.

She knew better than anyone how painful this disease could be.

Su Wan was supported by Granny Yang and didn't have the strength to move.

She looked at Zhou Ruo with pleading eyes, reached out and grabbed Zhou Ruo's small hand, and said earnestly,

"Princess, please, save my daughter!"

Zhou Ruo placed her other small hand on Su Wan's hand and said calmly, "Madam, don't worry, leave it to me!"

Zhou Ruo smiled confidently.

The smile that bloomed on her face gave Su Wan a magical power.

This suddenly calmed Su Wan's anxious heart.

Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong followed Sheng Aotian out.

Su Wan was still a little worried, so she pulled Yang Mama back.

"Granny, you go too. Go and lend a hand to the princess. Take good care of Yi'er, and come back to tell me immediately if anything happens."

Granny Yang wanted to stay and take care of the madam, but as she hesitated, she heard Su Wan urging her on.

"I'm fine now. The maids are taking care of me. Go quickly. I'll feel more at ease if you go."

Granny Yang had no choice but to obey Su Wan's request and follow Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong.

To get from Su Wan's courtyard to Sheng Yueyi's courtyard, one must pass through the main gate of the Marquis's mansion.

When Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong were still some distance from the gate of the Marquis's mansion, they heard a fierce barking sound.

As you get closer, the dog's barking becomes more urgent, accompanied by deep moans.

But when Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong came into the big yellow dog's sight, the dog's barking began to slow down.

"What a blunder!" Zhou Ruo exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the big yellow dog, and tried to let go of Zhao Jinzhong's hand to run towards it.

Zhao Jinzhong quickly pulled her back, "Ruoruo, don't go, it's dangerous!"

The big yellow dog's neck was chained, with the chain end looped around a tree trunk.

Upon hearing Zhou Ruo's voice, the big yellow dog immediately wagged its tail and bounced up and down.

If the guards hadn't stopped it, it probably would have pounced on Zhou Ruofei.

The guard at the gate scolded the big dog to calm it down.

This happened when Marquis Sheng Linfeng of Pinglu encountered this dog, which was injured and unable to walk, while hunting in the suburbs.

The dog was too big and looked frightening. After much hesitation, the Marquis ordered his men to take the dog back to the Marquis's residence to treat its injuries.

After the big dog recovered from its injuries at the Marquis's mansion, it always liked to stay at the mansion gate.

It doesn't bother anyone in the mansion, but it barks wildly when it sees a stranger.

The lord thought it wanted to leave, so he ordered the guards to open the gates of the mansion wide.

The dog didn't leave even after three days of operation.

On the third night, a petty thief scaled the wall and broke into the mansion, but was caught by the big dog.

From then on, the Marquis allowed the big dog to roam freely within the mansion, but it didn't go anywhere; it just stayed at the mansion gate.

"Brother, don't hug me."

After struggling for a few moments, Zhou Ruo was tightly embraced and carried away by Zhao Jinzhong.

"Brother, Oolong is so cute! Can you put me down and let me play with it for a while?"

Zhou Ruonuo pleaded with Zhao Jinzhong in a soft, gentle voice.

"Cute?" Zhao Jinzhong frowned. "It's bigger than you, and you call it cute?"

"It's so cute! Look, it likes me too."

As Zhao Jinzhong, carrying Zhou Ruo, was about to pass in front of the big yellow dog, the dog's barking suddenly stopped.

The big yellow dog, its tongue lolling out, stared at Zhou Ruo with sparkling eyes, its tail wagging wildly.

It seemed to be waiting for Zhou Ruo to come over and pet it. If you looked closely, you could see tears welling up in its eyes.

But when Zhao Jinzhong carried Zhou Ruo and quickly passed in front of the big yellow dog, he showed no intention of stopping.

The big yellow dog's starry eyes quickly dimmed, and it let out a low whimper.

Zhou Ruo perched on Zhao Jinzhong's shoulder, watching the big yellow dog. She waved to the dog and said, "I'll come play with you after I'm cured!"

The big yellow dog seemed to understand.

It called out twice to Zhou Ruo, and its eyes brightened again.

Its big tail swayed upright, as if it were happily responding to Zhou Ruo.

In her previous life, Zhou Ruo kept a fairy in her Lingxiao Palace whose body shape was similar to this big yellow dog.

The colors were similar, but because all four of the dog's paw pads were dark gray, Zhou Ruo named it Wulong.

That was a gift from her master when she was one year old.

Zhou Ruo raised Wulong from a tiny puppy to a dog that was even bigger than Zhou Ruo herself.

Whenever Zhou Ruo and Wulong were in a good mood, Zhou Ruo would ride it around to treat people's illnesses.

Why do I say it's when you're in a good mood?

Because when Oolong is in a bad mood, no one can rouse it.

When Zhou Ruo was later murdered, Wu Long was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Ruo didn't know if it was still alive and well in Lingxiao Palace.
