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

As Zhou Ruo thought this, her head, which had been drooping, suddenly lifted up.

His dull eyes regained their sparkle.

She jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, and ran outside, shouting, "Siqiao, I'm going to see my brother first!"

Before the words were even finished, the figure had already disappeared.

Siqiao remained inside, watching Zhou Ruo's retreating figure and remarking, "Strange and adorable so early in the morning."

Zhou Ruo skipped and hopped to Wude Courtyard, and as usual, picked fruit to eat first.

"Would you like oranges or apples today, Miss?"

Wu Bai was very good at handling things and figured out Zhou Ruo's preferences early on.

Let's eat apples today!

Zhou Ruo stood in front of the apple tree and pointed to the half-red and half-green apples on the tree, saying to Wu Bai.

"Yes, miss, I'll pick it for you right away."

Wu Bai picked three reddish apples and handed them to Zhou Ruo, but Zhou Ruo only took two.

"This is yours!"

Zhou Ruo, with an apple in each hand, swaggered towards the main house.

Looking at the remaining apple in his hand, Wu Bai felt a warm current flow through his heart. He murmured to himself, "Miss is so good to me."

Zhou Ruo, biting into an apple and swallowing it whole, called out into the house as she stepped across the threshold:

"Brother, I'm here!"

Zhao Jinzhong woke up very early, but Doctor Yu, who was standing by his bedside, woke up even earlier.

Hearing Zhou Ruoming's clear voice, Zhao Jinzhong sat on the bed and looked towards the door.

The moment he saw Zhou Ruo, the discomfort from the silver needles in his legs was replaced by a gentle smile, which he showed to Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo was a little dazed. She didn't realize that her brother, who had recovered his body, was so handsome!

The pale color faded, and it gradually regained its vitality.

After his vital energy was replenished, Zhao Jinzhong's complexion became rosy from the inside out.

"Ruoruo's here?" Zhao Jinzhong's voice was very gentle, unlike his usual tone.

Even the doctor who was giving him acupuncture sensed something was different.

Zhou Ruo's thoughts were pulled back by Zhao Jinzhong's words. She ate an apple and walked to the bedside.

"Fake doctor, are you giving my brother acupuncture again?"

Doctor Yu looked up at Zhou Ruo, then looked down again and carefully adjusted the acupuncture points.

Then he chuckled softly, "Miss, your memory isn't very good. Have you forgotten that my surname is Yu, not Jia?"

Zhou Ruo really wanted to tell him that such a veiled attack would do very little to help her brother stand up.

But she didn't want to be too high-profile, fearing that Doctor Yu would be jealous of her and hate her.

I also fear being killed like I was in my previous life.

She could only sit aside and watch Doctor Yu's useless actions, patiently waiting for him to finish.

Another fifteen minutes passed before Doctor Yu finished administering the acupuncture.

Zhou Ruo looked at the dense array of silver needles on Zhao Jinzhong's legs, sighed softly, and shook her head.

Zhao Jinzhong could tell that Zhou Ruo seemed to have something to say but dared not speak it.

So he tried to get Dr. Yu out of the way: "Dr. Yu, you've worked hard. There's some tea and snacks in the side room. Please go and have some breakfast."

Doctor Yu arrived early and, after fiddling around for so long, was also tired.

"Alright, young general, I'll come back to get the needles in a little while."

"Thank you for your help, Doctor Yu."

After Doctor Yu left, Zhou Ruo sat close to Zhao Jinzhong, feeling overwhelmed by the sight of those silver needles.

"Ruoruo, you..."

Before Zhao Jinzhong could finish speaking, Zhou Ruo directly removed the silver needles from his leg.

Two needles were inserted into acupoints on his waist, two into his wrists, two into his ankles, and two into the Yongquan acupoint.

In the blink of an eye, all eight needles were inserted into the acupoints.

Soon, Zhao Jinzhong clearly felt the speed at which his blood and qi circulated throughout his body gradually increase.

He could even feel a force gradually breaking through the blockages in his legs as his blood and qi flowed to the areas where they were congested.

Once the blockage is cleared, the attack continues on the next blockage.

Zhou Ruo's gaze followed Zhao Jinzhong's qi and blood as he surveyed the area.

Half an hour later, she placed her fingers on Zhao Jinzhong's two big toes and asked:

"Brother, can you feel it? Try moving it."

Zhao Jinzhong focused his attention on his big toe, and with a exertion, his big toe moved.

He stared at Zhou Ruo in astonishment, utterly incredulous. "This?!"

"Hehe, this looks promising!" Zhou Ruo said with a big smile.

After a moment, Zhou Ruo pointed to her second and third toes and said, "Brother, try again."

Zhao Jinzhong obeyed and did as instructed, moving all four of his toes.

"I...I can move my toes now?"

Doctor Yu came to give him acupuncture before dawn and did it for almost an hour, but he didn't feel anything.

Zhou Ruo gave him eight acupuncture needles, and in less than fifteen minutes, he could move all six of his toes.

"Am I dreaming?"

Zhou Ruo removed the eight needles one by one and put them into her sleeve, saying:

"Of course it's true! I told you, my brother will be able to stand up soon."

If her brother doesn't stand up soon, she's going to die.

When Doctor Yu returned, he saw that Zhao Jinzhong's eyes were red and there were still some tear stains at the corners of his eyes.

"Young General, what's wrong? Are you in pain?" Doctor Yu asked with some concern.

Zhao Jinzhong smiled and said, "Dr. Yu, look."

Following the direction Zhao Jinzhong pointed, Doctor Yu saw that Zhao Jinzhong could move all six of Zhao's toes.

His surprise was palpable: "Young General! This?! He can move?"

"He can move now," Zhao Jinzhong said calmly, his initial surprise having subsided before Doctor Yu returned.

"The fake doctor's acupuncture technique is actually quite good!" Zhou Ru forced a stiff smile at Doctor Yu.

"That's right! My acupuncture technique is..."

Doctor Yu assumed that Zhao Jinzhong's progress in recovery was due to his own efforts, and unconsciously stroked his beard and nodded to accept the praise.

But the next moment he realized something was wrong. "Miss, my surname is Jia, not Yu. How come you can't remember?"

The air froze for half a second, then bursts of laughter from Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ru echoed throughout the room.

Doctor Yu blinked, then immediately corrected himself: "No, no, my surname is Yu, not Jia!"

An old man, puffing out his beard, stared at the two laughing children, and the room suddenly became lively.

Such laughter had not been heard in Wude Courtyard for more than two years. The servants listening outside felt their spirits brighten as well.

At this moment, Granny He and the servants came in carrying several gift boxes.

"Young General, this was sent by a servant from the Prince An's residence."

Four or five exquisite gift boxes and a large fruit basket were placed on the table by the servants.

"What are they?" Zhao Jinzhong asked.

"These were all brought back by Prince An from the Princess's family home. He said he was a little tired today and would come to see you another day."

"These gifts are being sent over first to let you know that he has returned to the capital."

An Chang, the heir of the Prince An's mansion, is the same age as Zhao Jinzhong, and the two are also good friends.

Six months ago, he returned to his hometown with his mother, Princess Yu, and just returned to the capital today.

As soon as the fruit basket entered the room, Zhou Ruo smelled a refreshing fragrance.

She followed the scent, ran to the blue fruit, her eyes wide with delight, and blinked her bright eyes.
