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

"The western suburbs?" Fu Da said. "We're familiar with the western suburbs! But there are quite a few workshops in the western suburbs, we'll have to look for them."

After discussing it with his brothers, Fu Da replied to Zhao Jinzhong, "Young General, rest assured, we brothers will take care of this!"

"Spiritual power restored to 92%! Activating the power of spiritual symbiosis!"

Zhou Ruo, who was sitting in a chair shaking her leg and eating fruit, suddenly shouted, "Brother! The little gourd works now!"

Seven or eight people turned around to look at her in unison: ? ? ?

Zhou Ruo jumped to the ground, bounced on her left foot and then her right foot, and danced with joy.

It took Zhao Jinzhong a while to realize what was happening.

He approached Zhou Ruo and asked her, "Ruo Ruo, did you help the Crown Prince... recover from that?"

You helped the prince restore his lost and injured soul, and his spiritual power has been restored.

Zhou Ruo smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's recovered by about 30%!"

The same amount of spiritual energy he regained when he first saved the Empress Dowager.

Based on the spiritual power restored by treating the Empress Dowager, wouldn't the spiritual power be more than perfect if the Crown Prince were to be freed from the soul-absorbing thing?

As Zhao Jinzhong thought this, he suddenly felt reassured.

In the remaining two months, Zhou Ruo fully recovered her spiritual power and survived. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be fine.

Definitely no problem!

He laughed happily along with Zhou Ruo.

Seeing that the two employers were happy, Jia Yuntian and his brothers Fu Lai were happy too.

The Ling Shu Hall was filled with laughter and joy.

But no one knew that a crisis was quietly approaching outside the city.

Wu Jia rushed to the clinic.

He told Zhao Jinzhong that the Emperor had ordered Zhao Yucheng to lead one-third of the soldiers in the camp back to the capital to await further orders.

"Young General, Miss, the General wants you to return to the manor immediately."

Zhao Jinzhong brought Zhou Ruo back to Lanxiang Courtyard and saw Zhao Yucheng pacing back and forth in the room, looking anxious.

"Father, what happened?"

"Zhong'er, Ruo'er, you're back! Big news! A plague has broken out in Jing County, and it looks like it's going to spread to the capital!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinzhong looked down at Zhou Ruo, and Zhou Ruo also looked up at him.

The brother and sister looked as if they had "just as expected," their faces calm and expressionless.

Zhao Yucheng stopped pacing. His anxiety turned to confusion. "Why aren't you two reacting at all?"

"Father, Ruoruo and I predicted this yesterday."

Zhao Jinzhong asked with surprise and doubt: "Predicted it? You knew about the outbreak in Jing County all along?"

"We are unaware of what happened in Jing County, but the day before, a patient with Sirius disease had already entered the Ling Shu Hall."

"What did you say?!" Zhao Yucheng was startled, and the color drained from his face.

The voice he wanted to utter was suddenly suppressed in his throat, turning into a strong, breathy shout: "Sirius! Are you all out of your minds?!"

"Where is that person? Didn't you report him to the authorities?"

Zhou Ruo didn't understand why Zhao Yu was so nervous. She said casually,

"I've already healed him, why are you so panicked, Father?"

Zhao Yucheng's expression suddenly relaxed again. He thought he had misheard. "Healed...healed?"

Zhou Ruoying replied, "Yes, this illness isn't difficult to treat, Father, you don't need to panic so much!"

"Not...not difficult to treat?"

It's not that it's not difficult to treat; in fact, no one in history has ever been able to cure it!

But Zhao Yucheng saw Zhou Ru nodding earnestly, her innocent smile completely genuine.

He admitted that Zhou Ruo's medical skills were indeed extraordinary, but this was Sirius disease, which could kill a large number of people if it broke out.

He had heard his grandfather say that a hundred years ago, the capital city had experienced a plague called Sirius.

The entire capital was littered with corpses, and countless lives were lost.

Too many people were taken away by the epidemic, and the capital city was almost a ghost town at that time.

It took the people nearly ten years to gradually recover from that epidemic.

"But Ruo'er, if the Heavenly Wolf erupts in the capital, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Zhao Yucheng felt it was absurd to ask a child such a question.

But at this moment, he felt that if anyone could cure this epidemic, that person would definitely be Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ru crossed one arm over her chest and rested the other on her chin, striking a pose of deep thought.

"If there aren't many people who fall ill, the Spirit Gourd can solve the problem, but if there are many, then... it's still a little short."

Upon hearing Zhou Ruo's words, Zhao Yucheng felt a sense of relief.

But the question remains: "What's missing?"

"The Qi-Subduing Pill from that Jingxi Pharmacy can be transformed into a cure for Tianlang by infusing it with some spiritual energy."

A sudden, muffled sound filled Zhao Yucheng's mind. "Jingxi Pharmacy? Fuqi Pill? Cured..."

"Zhong'er, Ruo'er, so you predicted the outbreak of the plague in the capital long ago, and you've already found a way to treat it?"

Zhou Ruo acted as if she had done something wrong and been caught by an adult, immediately waving her hands in denial: "It wasn't me, it was my brother, my brother took me!"

What she actually wanted to say was that Zhao Jinzhong had predicted the epidemic and had taken her to discover the Fuqi Pill.

It was her brother's doing; she couldn't take credit for it.

But the words took a different meaning once they came out of her mouth.

Zhao Jinzhong squinted at Zhou Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, what do you mean by this?"

"It just means praising my brother for being smart, he's incredibly insightful! I was just following along, oh, and there was a misunderstanding."

Zhao Jinzhong pondered for a moment and said, "To me, it doesn't sound like a compliment..."

"Yes, yes, you're the best! You're the greatest! If you could get the Qi-Subduing Pill, you'd be invincible!"

Zhou Ruo gave a string of exaggerated praises.

Zhao Jinzhong said to Zhao Yucheng, "Father, if we're going to buy those Qi-subduing pills, the imperial court should be the one to buy them."

Zhao Yucheng nodded in agreement with his son's statement, "That's right, we need to discuss this with the Imperial Hospital."

"I went to talk to Li Chengquan these past two days to discuss how to prepare for the outbreak before it spreads."

Finally, Zhao Yucheng spoke of what worried him most.

"Ruo'er, your mother is due to give birth in less than two months. What if an epidemic breaks out..."

"Hey!" Zhou Ruo said with a relaxed expression, "Father, don't worry! With me here, Mother will be fine!"

"Your younger siblings will be born safely too!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Zhao Yucheng's eyes welled up with tears.

He held Zhou Ruo in his arms, embracing her tightly, and said with emotion, "You are truly my good daughter. Your parents thank you."

Zhou Ruo kissed Zhao Yucheng on the cheek and said happily, "Daddy, if you want to thank me, just give me some fruit!"

"Alright! Father will get some fruit for Ruo'er!"

The tense atmosphere inside the room gradually dissipated amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

Two days later, Zhao Jinzhong went to the Eastern Palace as usual to accompany the Crown Prince in martial arts practice.

After the practice session, Zhao Jinzhong accompanied the Crown Prince for a walk in the courtyard.

The prince asked, "Have you heard about the Sirius plague?"

Zhao Jinzhong nodded: "I've heard about it. The Emperor has ordered my father to lead the soldiers back to the city to await orders."

Mentioning Tianlang, the Crown Prince was also worried. He wanted to ask Zhao Jinzhong if Zhou Ruo could deal with Tianlang, "Zhou Ruo, she..."

Before His Highness the Crown Prince could finish speaking, Zhao Jinzhong knew what he wanted to ask. "Your Highness, rest assured, Ruoruo has a solution."

"However..." Zhao Jinzhong suddenly realized that perhaps the Crown Prince would be more effective than the Imperial Hospital in dealing with the matter of the Qi-Subduing Pill.

"Speak freely." The Crown Prince was unusually patient today, as if his soul had returned to its place and he had become much more enlightened.

"Your Highness, Ruoruo has discovered a kind of elixir that, after being prepared by her, can cure Tianlang."
