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

Just as Zhao Jinzhong was about to speak, a stranger suddenly turned around and walked over from among the unfamiliar guards blocking his way.

After bowing to Zhao Jinzhong, he said in a low voice, "Young General, I am Xu Yuan, the commander of His Highness the Crown Prince's guard."

"His Highness has already sent someone to fetch the Qi-Subduing Pill, and instructed me to come and inform you first. It will probably take another hour."

The elixir will be delivered soon. I've already brought a dozen or so brothers to assist you and the princess.

"Just tell us what you need us to do!"

It turns out that it was His Highness the Crown Prince who arranged this. In that case, the Crown Prince has already asked the Imperial Advisor or a nobleman for the Qi-Subduing Pill.

With the Qi-Subduing Pill, things will be much easier.

However, given the current situation and objectives, they cannot simply sit and wait for the Qi-Subduing Pill to arrive.

Before the elixir arrives, we must act before death, saving as many as we can.

Zhao Jinzhong began to worry, unsure if Zhou Ruo could hold on.

It's hard to accept that so many patients have to be treated by a child.

"Thank you for your trouble, Commander Xu!" Zhao Jinzhong bowed to him and then gave the order.

"We'll have to trouble Commander Xu and his guards to help maintain order among the people and get them into the clinic in a proper line."

After receiving the order, Xu Yuan exchanged a few words with the guards and then began to tidy up the situation in front of the clinic.

Watching the Crown Prince's guards quickly separate the people, Zhao Jinzhong suddenly realized the Crown Prince's good intentions.

Xu Yuan's guard team was already experienced in such chaotic situations and was quite adept at handling them.

The Crown Prince anticipated that Zhao Jinzhong might face chaos caused by public panic, so he specially arranged for Xu Yuan to come and help him.

Zhao Jinzhong turned to Zhou Ruo and asked, "Ruo Ruo, you saw so many people. Can you handle them?"

"Brother, is it possible to get the Qi-Subduing Pill?"

Zhou Ruo's calm demeanor was also unusual for her age.

Although she was protected by Jia Yuntian and Fu Da, Zhao Jinzhong would occasionally glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

He discovered that Zhou Ruo showed no fear whatsoever in the face of a situation that could potentially escalate into a riot.

The small body hid at the very back, yet calmly observed the person in front of it.

When Zhao Jinzhong spoke to her, her tone was not unusual at all, not even a little bit nervous.

"The Qi-Subduing Pill will take an hour. Moreover, it's still unclear how many Qi-Subduing Pills we can obtain."

Zhao Jinzhong told Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo nodded, then asked, "Brother, how many people are there here?"

Zhao Jinzhong glanced back unconsciously. "One hundred and fifty or sixty is possible."

Zhou Ruo nodded again.

After a moment, she said, "Brother, let's open the door and go into the clinic."

While observing the people suffering from Sirius disease outside the clinic, Zhou Ruo noticed that...

She may have overestimated the ability of ordinary people to resist the Sirius virus.

I remember the last time Zhang Jing came, he had transparent blisters all over his body.

However, most of the people in front of the clinic already had pustules on their bodies.

This means that the patients in front of the clinic, and even all the Sirius patients in the capital, have more severe symptoms than Zhang Jing.

The Sirius virus exists in only one form across countless worlds.

This only shows that the infection rate among the city's residents is at least 30% higher than that of Zhang Jing.

"I wonder if the purification talisman will still work..." Zhou Ruo suddenly became unsure.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinzhong's heart tightened. "Ruoruo, what does this mean?"

"Brother, don't worry. Let one or two people in first. I'll try to see if the purification talisman works."

Zhao Jinzhong's brows were furrowed with worry, and his gaze lingered on Zhou Ruo's face for a while longer.

Then he slowly nodded, turned around, opened the door, and went out, bringing two patients in with him.

"Princess, please save us! All the clinics in the city are closed, only the Ling Shu Clinic is willing to help us..."

The first patient pleaded with Zhou Ruo, clearly suffering terribly from the Sirius virus.

The second patient behind him remained silent.

The second person was also in a very uncomfortable state, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Ruo was filled with obvious suspicion.

Zhou Ruo first used her spiritual power to sense the severity of the first patient's illness, and it was not much different from the feeling she had outside the door.

She first used eighty percent of her spiritual power to draw a purification talisman on his body, while shouting "Disperse!"

After a while, the abscesses on the first patient's body visibly shrank, but they did not completely disappear.

But this was enough to shock the two patients in front of Zhou Ruo and give them hope.

"Why are the wolves here so fierce!"

Zhou Ru muttered to herself, unsure whether to say that Tianlang was bad or that mortals' bodies were too weak.

Zhao Jinzhong stepped forward and asked with concern, "Ruoruo, how are you? Are you having any difficulties?"

Zhou Ruo nodded slightly and said, "It's more serious than the previous person's. The talisman can't cure it anymore, I'll have to use silver needles."

Although Zhou Ruo had just shown a hint of uncertainty, she was only hesitating between using a talisman and a spirit needle.

After all, a talisman works immediately when thrown, while a silver needle requires inserting it into acupoints; a talisman is much more convenient.

However, after trying to cast a talisman with 80% of his spiritual power, Zhou Ruo got the answer—the talisman wasn't enough for this Sirius.

Zhou Ruo took out silver needles and, together with the energy of the talisman, inserted them into the patient's acupoints.

Soon, the abscesses on the first patient's body gradually shrank, then dried up, and then disappeared.

"I...I'm all better?"

The patient watched as the numerous pustules on his hand suddenly disappeared.

His hands, arms, and the skin exposed outside of his clothes all returned to normal.

Shocked.

The second patient, standing behind the first, was stunned.

He exclaimed in surprise, "I had only ever heard that the doctor at Ling Shu Guan was a child, but I never knew he was such a young child."

When I came in and saw the princess, I didn't believe she could cure our illnesses.

We never imagined the princess could heal the wolves within us! Now it seems we're all saved!

The patient's previously suspicious expression disappeared.

The first patient knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Ruo to thank her for saving his life.

After getting up, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Ruo, but Zhou Ruo refused to accept it.

Jia Yuntian explained that Ling Shu Guan usually only charges a few coins for treating people's illnesses.

But the patient wouldn't listen, saying that the money could not repay the life-saving grace. He put the money on the table, turned around, and walked out of the clinic.

When he stepped outside, the patients almost didn't recognize him.

Because before he entered the clinic, his entire face was covered in pustules.

But when he came out of the clinic, his skin was as smooth as a normal person's, as if he had never had Sirius.

"Were you the first person to go in?" The guard asked him incredulously, looking at him.

"Yes, yes!" the first patient raised his voice to the crowd.

"Everyone, don't be afraid! The princess really can cure Sirius disease!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"Really? Someone can actually defeat Sirius?"

"Such a physician has never appeared in a hundred years. Is the princess a deity reincarnated?"

The worry was replaced by surprise, and the physical pain caused by Sirius didn't seem so bad anymore.

Zhou Ruo quickly cured the second patient.

Everyone watched as the second person walked out of the clinic looking radiant, showing no signs of having been tormented by Tianlang.

They became even more convinced that the doctors at Ling Shu Hall could save everyone's lives.
