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

While eating, Zhou Ruo listened to An Chang recount the situation in Dongcheng.

"Brother Anchang, are there many, many patients there?"

"There are so many! The general ordered the soldiers to count the number of patients, and when I left, they hadn't finished counting yet, and there were already several thousand people!"

Festering pus, fainting... there's no medicine in this mortal world that can help.

Zhou Ruo shook her head. "Besides the Qi-Subduing Pill, I can't find any useful medicine here to cure Sirius Disease!"

"But with several thousand people, can we use the Qi-Subduing Pill today?" An Chang pressed.

Zhao Jinzhong guessed, "It probably isn't enough. Last time we went to the pharmacies in western Beijing, they only had about a thousand pills in stock."

"Wang Xingtian said he can only make five hundred pills a day. How do you think that will be enough?"

An Chang stood up and paced around the hall, deep in thought. He felt there was still a way to make more Fuqi Pills.

He suddenly thought, "Ruoruo, could we use all those alchemy furnaces in their alchemy room to refine Qi-Subduing Pills?"

Zhou Ruo was almost full when she said, "Those poisonous ones are no good, but the non-poisonous ones are fine."

Upon hearing Zhou Ruo's words, Zhao Jinzhong clapped his hands and praised An Chang, saying, "You're really something, kid!"

He immediately drafted a memorial and handed it to Xu Yuan, asking him to deliver it to the Crown Prince as soon as possible.

Zhao Jinzhong was unsure how many Fuqi Pills the Crown Prince could obtain from Wang Changlin and the Imperial Preceptor.

However, given the current state of the epidemic, the Crown Prince must force them to focus all their efforts on refining the Qi-Subduing Pill.

Just as Zhou Ruo was about to continue treating the five people, the clinic door was pushed open.

Upon recognizing the visitor, everyone in the clinic exclaimed in surprise, "Physician Li!"

"Young Master An, Young General!" Li Chengquan greeted the two young masters first.

Then he turned and saw Zhou Ruo, and cried out, "Princess! Oh, my Princess, you must help this old man think of a way!"

An Chang asked in bewilderment, "Physician Li, weren't you in the East City? What are you doing here?"

Currently, the entire medical team in Dongcheng is under the command of Li Chengquan.

Li Chengquan waved his hand, looking pained.

"It's out of control! This virus is spreading too fast! Several doctors have already been infected!"

"Princess, do you have any other ideas?"

Li Chengquan originally intended to invite Zhou Ruo to the front lines in Dongcheng.

But when he arrived at the entrance of the clinic, he saw that the entrance to the Ling Shu Hall was surrounded by patients.

He knew that Zhou Ruo would not be able to get away from here.

Zhou Ruo smiled at Li Chengquan. Her smile was like a tranquilizer, instantly calming Li Chengquan's panicked heart.

"Doctor Li, you have a solution!"

"Wh...what method?" Li Chengquan's voice trembled with excitement.

Zhou Ruo took out the Spirit Storage Gourd from his bosom and handed it to Li Chengquan.

Li Chengquan took the small gourd in his hand, turned it over and looked at it, puzzled.

"Princess, what is the use of this little gourd?"

Zhou Ruo looked at Li Chengquan with bright, sparkling eyes, pointing to the patients already waiting for her treatment, and said...

"Doctor Li, take your silver needles, dip them into the gourd, and then insert them into the patient's Yuntian acupoint."

"Use a silver needle to dip... dip...?" Li Chengquan was bewildered. Was there medicine in the gourd?

Zhou Ruo nodded again, "That's right, Physician Li, we need to hurry, don't delay!"

Li Chengquan shook his dazed head and quickly took out silver needles from his pocket.

Following Zhou Ruo's instructions, he carefully unscrewed the gourd lid and inserted the silver needle into the gourd.

However, there was no medicine inside the gourd; it appeared to be empty.

Li Chengquan quickly withdrew the silver needles and inserted them into the patient's Yuntian acupoint.

Li Chengquan's acupuncture skills were already superb; his silver needles were inserted into acupoints quickly, accurately, and steadily.

The abscesses on the patient's body visibly shrank, deflated, and then disappeared, and the body recovered.

"This!" Li Chengquan felt like he was dreaming.

How can the same silver needle, when inserted into a gourd and then out again, be used to treat Sirius?

After seeing the effects of Li Chengquan's acupuncture, Zhou Ruo exchanged a glance with Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong's expression visibly relaxed.

Zhou Ru also let out a sigh of relief and said to Li Chengquan, "Physician Li, quickly take this gourd to treat the patient!"

"Princess...Princess, what kind of medicine is in this gourd? It's incredibly powerful!"

Zhao Jinzhong answered for Zhou Ruo: "This gourd contains a special medicinal vapor, specifically for treating Sirius disease."

"Each doctor can cure Sirius disease by dipping a silver needle into the medicinal vapor in the gourd."

Zhou Ruo nodded in agreement, "Yes, brother is right!"

"Good, good!" Li Chengquan carefully put the spirit-gathering gourd into his pouch.

"I will immediately report this to the Emperor, and have him issue an edict to summon as many doctors as possible to the eastern part of the city!"

"If there aren't enough doctors in the local clinics, then let the physicians from the royal palaces join us!"

After receiving the gourd from Zhou Ruo, Li Chengquan's previous panic and worries dissipated.

He was full of energy and was about to leave the clinic with lightning speed.

Zhou Ruo called out to him from behind, "Doctor Li, wait a minute."

She asked Jia Yuntian to prepare two more jugs of water with added cinnamon, and she infused them with spiritual energy.

After closing the lid, he handed it to Li Chengquan, saying, "Doctor Li, drinking this water can protect you from the Sirius virus!"

"What?!"

Even now, Li Chengquan has not considered his own safety; he is only thinking about how to help more people survive.

Seeing him in a daze, Zhao Jinzhong reminded him, "Imperial Physician Li, only if you and the doctors are all well can the patient have any hope of survival."

Li Chengquan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sobbed, "Yes, yes, thank you, Young General, thank you, Princess!"

As Zhou Ruo watched Li Chengquan leave, she sighed to Zhao Jinzhong, "If only we had a few more spirit-gathering gourds."

Yes, if there were a few more spirit-gathering gourds, the patients in this city could all be treated by doctors at the same time.

Zhao Jinzhong patted Zhou Ruo's head, encouraging her, "Don't think about things that aren't there. Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

Zhou Ruo nodded in acceptance and then began treating the four patients who had been waiting for a long time.

She treated five people, then had to stop for a quarter of an hour to fill her stomach.

They worked continuously for more than an hour.

Even at noon, there were still seventy or eighty patients outside the clinic.

Some of these people were added later.

Zhou Ruo was completely exhausted at this point.

Her spiritual consciousness remained unaffected, but her mortal body was on the verge of collapse.

"Brother, I'm so tired..."

Zhao Jinzhong picked up Zhou Ruo and said with concern, "If you can't hold on, we'll rest for a while."

Then he turned to An Chang and said, "An Chang, think of a way to get the patients outside to hold on a little longer."

During the hour that Zhou Ruo was treating, An Chang was not idle either.

He kept a close eye on the commotion of the crowd outside the door.

Having helped the people with the Empress Dowager in his early years, he had some experience in dealing with such situations.

Half an hour ago, he had already sent people back to the palace to arrange supplies to be transported to the Ling Shu Hall.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yucheng, who was in the eastern part of the city, looked at the sun overhead with a troubled expression.

Although it is winter now, the midday sun is so bright that it makes people dizzy.

Not to mention those patients who are already suffering from illness.

Upon learning that the Ling Shu Hall was also overcrowded, he immediately arranged for his soldiers to send several sets of tent cloths to the Ling Shu Hall.

Just as Zhou Ruo was about to give up, a large sunshade tent was already being erected outside the door using headgear.

The patients were able to hide in the shade, which made them much more comfortable and less noisy.
