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

Before the patients outside the door came in, Zhou Ruo drew protective amulets for Jia Yuntian, Fu Da, and Cai Wang.

Zhao Jinzhong looked through the paper window at the Crown Prince's guards who were desperately organizing the line of patients outside, then turned to Zhou Ruo and asked,

"Ruoruo, there are more than a dozen guards outside. Is there any way to protect them as well?"

Zhao Jinzhong was worried that Zhou Ruo had drawn a lot of talismans since early morning, which had consumed a lot of energy.

Moreover, as mentioned, the amulet that is immune to all poisons is also a powerful spiritual amulet.

If she were to draw this talisman for a dozen or so more people at the same time, her body probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

Therefore, Zhao Jinzhong secretly hoped that Zhou Ruo could find another way that wouldn't harm his body.

"There's a way!" Zhou Ruo said readily.

She couldn't withstand drawing so many invulnerable talismans, but there were still ways to deal with it.

Zhou Ruo asked Jia Yuntian to prepare a large bowl of water mixed with "Gui Dan", and then she poured spiritual power into the water.

In this way, the large bowl of water has the effect of protecting against the Sirius virus.

There are no pomelo trees outside the clinic, but there is a medicinal herb called Guidan inside the clinic.

There are plenty of solutions; it all depends on how you act.

Jia Yuntian and his men divided the water into more than a dozen portions and distributed them to the guards outside the door.

Seeing the guards drink the medicine taken from the clinic, some of the patients who had been waiting in line for a long time became unhappy.

"What are they drinking? Is it an antidote? Why can't we have some?"

"I feel so awful, how long do I have to wait? Could you at least give us some medicine to help ease the pain?"

Zhao Jinzhong explained to everyone, "These dozen or so brothers are all people who haven't been infected with Sirius disease yet; it's only effective if they drink it."

"Please be patient and wait a little longer. Only five people will be admitted to the clinic at a time. Please don't panic!"

After drinking the "potion" given by Zhou Ruo, the guards felt much more at ease.

A dozen or so people stood guard at the entrance of the clinic and began to let people in by headcount, allowing five people into the clinic at a time.

Of the five people who went in, three recovered and came out quickly.

The patients outside the door watched as people went in, and were filled with hope that they would recover so quickly.

Everyone craned their necks to look ahead, constantly counting the number of people in front of them, wondering how long it would take before it was their turn.

But after the three people came out, the fourth person was nowhere to be seen.

Someone in the front row was particularly sensitive and was counting down the time.

It was discovered that waiting for the fourth person to come out took longer than the time it took for the first three people to go in for treatment.

"Why haven't they come out yet? What happened inside?"

The crowd in the front row began to stir.

In the clinic, after Zhou Ruo finished treating the first three people, there were five people in total, including the two who started at the beginning.

Just as Zhou Ruo was about to treat the fourth person, her stomach started growling again.

This wolf is indeed strange. When Zhou Ruo draws talismans and uses acupuncture to treat illnesses, he gets hungry after consuming a certain amount of energy, and then he can no longer continue treating the illness.

She had to stop and eat her fill of fruit before she could continue.

So while the people outside were waiting for the fourth person to come out, Zhou Ruo was eating fruit and pastries to replenish her energy.

The two patients waiting for Zhou Ruo in the clinic were feeling very unwell, but they remained silent.

As they watched Zhou Ruo treat the first three people, their faces gradually turned from rosy to pale.

This is still a child. What family would have such a small child sleeping soundly under the covers at this age?

Zhou Ruo, however, was determined to risk her life to treat and save everyone here.

Her originally rosy face began to turn pale after treating several people.

It's heartbreaking to see.

Therefore, while Zhou Ruo was eating fruit and rice cakes, the two of them just silently endured and waited.

Zhao Jinzhong stood beside Zhou Ruo, watching her wolf down a handful of rice cakes and fruit, and his heart ached for her.

"Brother, let three people in first."

While eating, Zhou Ruo said, "I overestimated my abilities just now. I thought I could cure ten people at once."

After treating only five patients, her body couldn't take it anymore.

"Okay, brother understands." Zhao Jinzhong felt a tightness in his chest.

After Zhou Ruo finished eating and burped a few times, she continued to give people acupuncture.

Soon, both of them recovered and were discharged.

After treating three more, Zhou Ruo healed them all in one go.

Then you have to go and fill your stomach again.

When An Chang arrived at the clinic, he heard someone in the crowd complaining.

"Why are only three people allowed in this time?"

"Hey! They're out! Now it's our turn. Ugh, this is so uncomfortable..."

Caiwang stood behind the guards, stopping the patients who were about to rush into the clinic. "Everyone, please wait a moment. The princess needs to prepare."

An Chang pushed open the door and entered the clinic, then closed it behind him.

He muttered to himself, "Get ready? What do I need to prepare?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I looked up and saw Zhou Ruo eating rice cakes.

"So this is what they meant by 'preparations' outside! What happened? Didn't you eat enough before coming?"

An Chang could never have imagined that Zhou Ruo would have to stop and eat five fruits or eight pieces of rice cake every time she treated five people.

This amount of food is nearly three times what she usually eats in one meal.

Zhao Jinzhong frowned as he watched her show off, worried that she might ruin her health.

Zhou Ruo was busy eating and didn't have time to pay attention to An Chang.

Zhao Jinzhong didn't answer him, but only said, "Why did it take you so long?"

An Chang sat down in the chair, let out a long sigh, and looked a little tired.

"I just came from Dongcheng."

"Dongcheng?" Zhao Jinzhong seemed to realize something. "What's the situation?"

An Chang got up, poured himself a cup of tea, gulped it down, and then answered Zhao Jinzhong.

"My grandmother instructed me to send some supplies to the areas most severely affected by the epidemic. When I inquired, I found out that the eastern part of the city was the worst affected."

"I hauled a cartload of dry rations and a cartload of blankets and clothes over there, and guess what?"

Zhao Jinzhong and Jia Yuntian asked in unison, "What's wrong?"

Everyone is very concerned about the epidemic situation in Dongcheng, and they are all worried about it.

"The east side of the city has been sealed off. People outside aren't allowed in, and people inside can't get out."

Zhao Jinzhong thought for a moment, then asked, "Where's my father? He should be in the East City. Haven't you seen him?"

An Chang slammed his hand on the table. "Luckily, we ran into the General! Otherwise, my two large cartloads of goods would have had to be turned around."

An Chang continued to recount how he smoothly entered Dongcheng under Zhao Yucheng's guidance.

"The situation in Dongcheng is more serious than you can imagine."

"Some people had festering sores all over their bodies, and some people collapsed on the road and couldn't move at all."

"I heard that the general distributed Zhou Ruo's talisman leaves to the soldiers and guards."

Even so, no one dared to go up and examine the patient whose wounds were ulcerated and oozing pus.

Zhao Jinzhong frowned, worried about the people, as well as the safety of his father, soldiers, and the guards in the city.

"Where is the doctor? Is there no doctor here? The Imperial Hospital should have arranged one by now."

An Chang smiled at this point.

"You didn't see how clever those imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are."

They wrapped their entire bodies in gauze, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Anyone dressed like this in the eastern part of the city is a royal physician, without a doubt!

"The Imperial Medical Academy prepared two large pots to brew medicinal soup at the entrance of the defense. We don't know if that soup will be effective."

At this point, An Chang suddenly asked Zhou Ruo,

"Ruoruo, are there any medicinal herbs that we can send to the imperial physicians to decoct together, so that they will be more effective?"

After all, no physician in the Imperial Medical Academy had ever been able to deal with Sirius disease.

An Chang couldn't understand whether the imperial physicians were doing these things for the court's benefit or if they were actually effective for the common people.
