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

After confirming that the Fuqi Pill was effective, An Chang and Xu Yuan led everyone to distribute the Fuqi Pill to the patients.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, most of the patients who had been waiting anxiously in front of the Ling Shu Hall for most of the day had recovered and left.

An Chang left one hundred Fuqi Pills at Ling Shu Hall, and took the rest to the East City.

Upon arriving in Dongcheng, An Chang found that the atmosphere there was much more relaxed than when he delivered supplies that morning.

Upon meeting Zhao Yucheng, An Chang told him about the situation at the Ling Shu Hall.

It was also mentioned that Zhou Ruo fainted after preparing all the Fuqi Pills and is currently in a deep sleep.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yucheng felt a surge of worry.

"Is Ruo'er alright?" Zhao Yucheng asked anxiously as he looked around at the doctors treating the people.

An Changlue said reassuringly, "Ruoruo said she needs to sleep for a whole day and night, so we shouldn't worry."

"A day and a night? She said that herself?"

Zhao Yucheng wondered if the child had just said it casually. How could such a young child estimate the duration of his unconsciousness?

An Chang couldn't help but laugh when she thought about this: "It was exactly what she said; she fainted immediately after she finished speaking."

It's a bit like... like making arrangements for one's last wishes... Ugh!

An Chang immediately interrupted his wild guesses.

Zhao Yucheng really wanted to visit Zhou Ruo at the Ling Shu Hall, but the epidemic situation in Dongcheng was still unstable, so he had to stay and oversee the situation.

However, he was also very worried about Zhou Ruo's condition, and he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with her.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Zhou Ruo's situation has never been something for him, as her father, to worry about.

After all, she is a skilled doctor and can heal herself if she feels unwell.

This time, Zhao Yucheng felt an unprecedented worry.

"Prince An, please go back and tell Jinzhong to take good care of Ruo'er, and to come and tell me immediately if anything happens."

Zhao Yucheng was thinking that all the doctors in the capital were currently concentrated in the eastern part of the city.

If anything unexpected happens to Zhou Ruo, he will have Physician Li and the others rush over immediately.

Since Zhou Ruo arrived in the capital and at the General's Mansion, Zhao Yucheng has forgotten everything.

She saved him and the people from danger countless times.

It was as if her arrival was not because Zhao Yucheng had saved her from the mudslide in Zhoujia Village.

Instead, it was Zhou Ruo, sent by Heaven to his side to save him and the people.

Zhao Yucheng clenched his fists, staring in the direction of the Ling Shu Hall, his heart heavy with anxiety.

"General, don't worry, Ruoruo will be alright," An Chang reassured him again.

Zhao Yucheng nodded solemnly and told An Chang,

"The gourd that Ruo'er gave to Physician Li is very effective. Physician Li and his doctors have cured nearly half of the patients."

Now that you've brought the elixirs, the epidemic in the East City should be under control soon.

Hearing this, An Chang felt much more at ease.

"But..." Zhao Yucheng continued, "According to the guards, patients with Sirius disease have also begun to appear in the western part of the city."

"What?!" An Chang's heart, which had just settled, jumped again.

"Yes, I have already arranged for my deputy general to lead troops to the western city, and the imperial supplies will be arranged to be sent there soon."

If an epidemic breaks out in the west of the city, some of the doctors from the east can be dispatched there.

At this point, Zhao Yucheng sighed inwardly.

Without Zhou Ruo, the capital city under this epidemic would have become a desolate ruin and a ghost town.

"Child, you must take good care of yourself!" He prayed silently for Zhou Ruo in his heart.

An Chang rushed back to the Prince's residence to prepare supplies and medicines with Prince An, ready to be deployed at any time.

Inside the Imperial City, in the Imperial Study.

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and several high-ranking officials were discussing how to deal with the epidemic in the capital.

Outside the gate, eunuchs kept coming and going, reporting the latest developments of the epidemic to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Li requests permission for the physicians of the various princes and high-ranking officials to travel to the epidemic area in the eastern city to help treat the patients."

The Emperor asked in confusion, "Why? The Imperial Medical Academy has dozens of physicians, plus the doctors recruited from within the city..."

"There should be no fewer than two hundred doctors in the East City who can treat illnesses. Should we also have physicians from the residences of princes and high-ranking officials?"

What if so many doctors go into the epidemic area together and all of them are wiped out?

The messenger eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, Physician Li says he has found a way to treat the epidemic."

We must seize this opportunity and act swiftly before the infection spreads widely.

"Doctor Li has a solution?" The Emperor excitedly rose from his throne.

"Issue! Issue an imperial decree! All physicians in the residences of officials of the fourth rank and above must remain in their residences; the rest must proceed to the eastern part of the city!"

After the Emperor issued the decree, nearly two hundred physicians from various prefectures in the eastern part of the city went there, and Li Chengquan breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later, another eunuch came to report from the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, more than five hundred patients in the eastern city have recovered."

Half an hour later,

"Your Majesty, more than a thousand patients in the eastern city have recovered."

Another hour later,

"Your Majesty, more than two thousand patients in the eastern city have recovered."

The Emperor slapped the table and exclaimed in approval, "Excellent! I never knew Li Chengquan had this skill!"

The messenger eunuch then said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Doctor Li obtained a small gourd from the city."

The doctors used silver needles dipped in the medicine from the small gourd to apply acupuncture to the patient, and that's how they cured him.

"A small gourd?" The Emperor and the Crown Prince exchanged a curious glance. "Such a treasure exists in the capital?"

The prince seemed to be deep in thought. The little gourd came from the city, could it be...?

After a moment, he said, "Father, I think it must have been the little gourd given by Princess Ji'an."

"Oh?" The Emperor was surprised.

The Crown Prince continued, "General Zhao Jinzhong told me a few days ago that there is a kind of elixir in the Western City called the Fuqi Pill."

"After being prepared for Princess Ji'an, it can be used to cure Sirius. Your son has already ordered people to prepare it overnight."

"West City? The Qi-Subduing Pill? Is that the Imperial Preceptor's alchemy room?"

"Does Father know?"

"The Imperial Advisor had informed me of this matter long ago, saying that the elixir would benefit the people and that some relatives could sell the elixir to earn money and make a living."

The Crown Prince sneered inwardly. It turned out that the Imperial Advisor had already requested permission from his father. No wonder he dared to refine and sell them so recklessly.

The Crown Prince then said, "This time, I sought out the elixirs obtained by Marquis Wang Changlin. The Marquis is also helping the Imperial Preceptor to make and sell elixirs."

"Is that so?" The Emperor was unaware that Wang Changlin had been refining elixirs with the Imperial Advisor.

The crown prince remained silent.

Half an hour later, the messenger eunuch came again to report.

"Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince, Prince An has delivered 1,800 pills of the Qi-Subduing Pill to the East City."

General Zhao and Physician Li said that the epidemic in the eastern part of the city should be under control.

The Emperor was overjoyed, "Excellent! Very good! Zhao Yucheng, Li Chengquan, and Princess Ji'an have all rendered great service!"

A quarter of an hour later, the messenger eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, the number of patients in the western city is gradually increasing. According to Physician Li's assessment, there is a risk of an epidemic outbreak."

"Ah? This!" Several ministers in the imperial study became nervous.

The Emperor was always calm, and the Crown Prince, knowing what was going on, did not show any panic.

The Crown Prince said, "Father, the Prince and Marquis have led people to work through the night to produce the Qi-Subduing Pills. They can produce another two thousand pills before dawn tomorrow."

The Emperor cast a satisfied glance at the Crown Prince, then approached him, gently patted his shoulder, and said with a sense of comfort,

"Very good! The Crown Prince has truly grown up. He remains calm in the face of danger and is even able to prepare in advance. Father is very pleased."

The Crown Prince was also greatly encouraged by the fact that he had arranged for the use of the Qi-Subduing Pill during the epidemic.
