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

The following day, An Nan continued to accompany An Chang to Ji'an Hall.

She felt that she could learn a lot from being with Zhou Ruo, and now she could recognize quite a few medicines.

Around noon, after treating her twenty-eighth patient, Zhou Ruo felt hungry.

She said to Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, I want to eat candied hawthorn."

Zhao Jinzhong smiled and gave Wu Jia a silver ingot, telling him to go and buy it.

"An Nan, is there anything you'd like to eat?" Zhao Jinzhong asked An Nan before she left the clinic.

Before An Nan could speak, An Chang said, "Never mind her, she wants to eat a lot of things, are you going to buy them all?"

"He's just a child, it doesn't matter how much he can eat." Zhao Jinzhong continued to wait for An Nan's reply.

An Nan said restrainedly and somewhat awkwardly, "Thank you, Young General. I'd also like some candied hawthorns."

An Chang felt that An Nan acted obediently and sensibly in front of Zhao Jinzhong, which was very different from her attitude towards him.

Feeling annoyed and needing to stir things up, he added sarcastically:

"When they asked me for money, they would buy me all the desserts in the city, including candied beans, candied hawthorns, fruit soup, and tofu pudding."

"Hmm! What's wrong? Why are you being so reserved in front of the young general?"

An Nan was young and easily embarrassed, so she didn't dare to contradict An Chang in front of outsiders.

If they were in the Prince An's residence, the two siblings would probably have already started fighting.

When Zhao Jinzhong saw that An Nan's cheeks were slightly flushed, he glared at An Chang and then took out a silver ingot and gave it to Wu Jia.

"Did you remember everything Prince An said just now?"

Wu Jia thought for a moment, then nodded. "I've remembered it all."

"Okay, buy some of everything, and also some fruit cakes, so we can all eat together," Zhao Jinzhong instructed.

Wu Jia happily left the clinic with the other two servants to buy desserts.

"Zhao Jinzhong!" An Chang was very unhappy. "Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Why are you going along with her?!"

Zhao Jinzhong simply said, "These are also the foods Ruoruo likes to eat, so An Nan can eat them too."

An Nan saw Zhao Jinzhong cast a gentle glance at her, and her heart, which had been feeling choked up, softened a little.

Zhou Ruo simply basked in Zhao Jinzhong's favoritism, chuckling to herself with a smug grin.

I couldn't sense any disharmony between An Chang and his sister at all.

Wu Jia and his companions quickly bought the desserts.

Zhao Jinzhong took the initiative to step forward and asked Wu Jia to distribute the desserts to everyone.

An Nan was overjoyed when Zhao Jinzhong handed her a string of candied hawthorns.

She wanted to take a bite right away, but then suddenly stopped.

Looking at An Chang, I saw that he was still sitting alone at the table, looking rather unhappy.

So An Nan walked over and handed the candied hawthorn to An Chang, saying, "Brother, here you go."

An Chang first looked up at An Nan, then at the candied hawthorn in her hand.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his previously dim eyes, and his unhappy expression began to relax.

"Oh..." An Chang took the candied hawthorn from An Nan expressionlessly and asked, "What about yours?"

Zhou Ruo watched An Nan from behind.

When An Chang asked this question, Zhou Ruo quickly grabbed a string of candied hawthorns, ran over excitedly, and handed it to An Nan.

An Nan happily accepted it and began to eat with Zhou Ruo.

An Chang's mood improved a lot, and he finished the string of candied hawthorns in no time.

Zhou Ruo noticed that An Changzai's indifferent gaze before accepting the candied hawthorn was somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a while, she realized that it was very similar to the forlorn look in Zhao Jinzhong's eyes that night when he saw her return with the dog saddle she had bought for Wulong.

"Oh..." Zhou Ruo finally realized what was happening.

"It turns out that my brother was unhappy because he saw that I bought something nice for Wulong, but he didn't."

Zhao Jinzhong was unaware of the story between Zhou Ruo and Wulong.

That night, seeing how much Zhou Ruo cared for Wulong, a dog, she specially brought him a keepsake from "that place" where he had come back from the dead.

But even though he and Zhou Ruo had such a good relationship, he didn't receive a single item that she brought back from the brink of death.

So Zhao Jinzhong was somewhat disappointed. He felt that he might not even be as important as a dog in Zhou Ruo's heart.

After Zhou Ruo realized this, he began to keep an eye on the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

However, Zhao Jinzhong seemed to lack nothing, and so far no one had found anything suitable to give him.

I had no choice but to put it aside for now and wait for the right opportunity to exchange it for something else.

After all, the treasures in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion are not static; new items often appear.

After sharing some delicious desserts, Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang discussed with Qian Lai and the others the matter of investigating Shuixianfang.

Zhao Jinzhong believed it was necessary to send Zhou Ruo to Shuixianfang.

"Why?" An Chang felt uneasy. "If we get discovered, it will be difficult to escape with Ruoruo in tow."

Moreover, it's easy to alert the enemy.

Zhao Jinzhong had considered the issues An Chang had raised.

However, Zhao Jinzhong had a premonition that Shuixianfang was related to Consort Yu, and the fragrance wafting through the courtyard was also very suspicious.

He thought that if Zhou Ruo could go there, he would definitely be able to make some discoveries by following the scent of the medicine.

Zhou Ruo smiled at An Chang and said mysteriously, "Brother An Chang, it won't be difficult for me to get away."

"What do you mean?" An Chang had no idea what tricks Zhou Ruo, this clever little devil, was up to.

Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang,

"Brother, I'll go with you. You don't need to worry about me. I can take care of myself."

Zhao Jinzhong felt that Zhou Ruo must not have understood his meaning, which was why she spoke in such a childish way.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she's willing to go, Zhao Jinzhong will figure out the rest.

He learned from Qian Lai that each carriage transporting elixirs to Shuixianfang was accompanied by three people.

Qian Lai and his companions had been staking out the alchemy room for so long that they had learned quite a bit about the people inside and outside the room.

Bribing the delivery person to pretend to be the guard in the alchemy room and switch shifts is not difficult at all.

That afternoon, Zhao Jinzhong, An Chang, and Qian Lai disguised themselves as people transporting the elixirs.

The three of them drove a carriage from the west of the city to Shuixianfang, transporting two boxes of elixirs.

The burly gatekeeper of Shuixianfang checked the carriage, and Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang both got off.

"You three look unfamiliar. I've never seen you before?"

Qian Lai, sitting on the carriage shaft, explained, "Hey, there are so many people over at the alchemy room, do you recognize them all?"

The burly man thought so too, but his face still showed a lot of doubt.

Qian Lai then said, "We're preparing to produce new pills. Liu Tong and the other two have to guard the alchemy room today, so the three of us brothers will take over."

Liu Tong was the manager in charge of transporting the elixirs to Shuixianfang. When the burly man heard Qian Lai mention this person, most of his suspicions disappeared.

How would someone unrelated know Liu Tong?

"Oh, I see! Okay, I'll take a look at the boxes in the car as usual." The burly man said, and stepped forward to lift the car curtain.

An Changxin's heart pounded. He instinctively wanted to stop the burly man, but Zhao Jinzhong held him back.

Zhao Jinzhong gave An Chang a wink, signaling him not to panic and to let the strong man examine him.

The burly man noticed the unease on An Chang's face, stopped what he was doing, turned around, and asked, "What? Afraid I'll investigate?"

"No, no, brother, you should check it out. I just don't want to cause you any trouble."

As he spoke, Qian Lai secretly slipped a silver ingot into the burly man's hand.

The burly man immediately clenched his fist and discreetly slipped the silver into his sleeve.

But I still lifted the curtain and took a peek.

"Didn't you say there were only two boxes? How come there are three boxes?"

The burly man had only intended to make a show of it, to lift the curtain and take a look.

Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned.

Zhao Jinzhong quickly said, "I prepared an empty box. Steward Liu said that some of the pills are not in compliance with regulations and need to be returned."

"Empty? Why weren't they here before?" The burly man was still uneasy, so he reached out and opened the three boxes to check them one by one.
