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

Upon hearing Zhou Ruo's words, the maid carrying the medicine trembled and almost spilled it.

The maid quickly recovered and raised her voice to scold, "What nonsense are you spouting, you little kid!"

The general stood up and walked to Zhou Ruo, saying very seriously, "Child, talking nonsense will be punished."

"I'm not making this up, this is the taste of the medicine used to kill pigs."

In her previous life, Zhou Ruo sterilized many celestial pigs that were breeding indiscriminately in the Celestial Realm, so she was very familiar with the smell of this medicine.

But she didn't understand why these people didn't believe her.

In her previous life within the sect, whatever illness she diagnosed was considered the illness, and no one would question her judgment.

"You're comparing my wife to a pig?" The general's anger flared between his brows, and his icy tone sent a chill down Xiao Zhou's spine.

Zhou Ruo shook her head and said, "The dosage of medicine used for pigs is much higher than that used for humans."

"But the dosage in that bowl of medicine is about the same as the dosage given to the pig!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ping's heart skipped a beat.

She thought about how she always felt a brief discomfort the day after having sex with the general these past few days.

But she thought it was because she was weak and didn't pay much attention to it.

She got up and went to Zhao Yucheng's side, whispering, "Husband, should we ask Doctor Yu to come over?"

Zhao Yucheng looked at Ji Ping's expression and seemed to realize something.

But when faced with a child, he still hesitated.

"Zhou Ruo, if you speak like a child and joke with this general, I will punish you severely."

Zhou Ruo sighed, somewhat helplessly.

"If I lie or say something wrong, you may beat me with a board or make me kneel on wooden spikes."

In her previous life, this was how her master punished her when she made mistakes; she had experienced it all.

Ji Ping looked at Zhou Ruo and noticed a serious expression on her face that didn't seem to belong to someone her age.

"It's better to believe it's true," Ji Ping further advised Zhao Yucheng.

Zhao Yucheng frowned and pondered for a moment before calling out to the outside, "Someone, please fetch Doctor Yu!"

After examining the dregs and liquid medicine separately, Doctor Yu was shocked to find that there was indeed a large amount of infertility-inducing medicine in them.

Zhao Yucheng was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

It was soon discovered that it was Concubine Lin in the mansion who bribed Ji Ping's maid to administer the drug.

This was the first time the maid had done something like this, and she hadn't even thought about destroying the dregs of the medicine.

Just as Dr. Yu finished treating Ji Ping, Zhou Ruo felt a sensation in the Laogong acupoints on both hands.

Her palms felt hot and swollen, and she sensed a slight increase in her spiritual power.

She had just stopped Ji Ping from drinking the poison, and her medical skills and merits manifested, which also boosted her spiritual power.

Sure enough, treating patients helped her restore her spiritual power!

After all that commotion, Zhao Yucheng and Ji Ping both breathed a sigh of relief, and their attention returned to Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Yucheng was amazed. If it weren't for this child, wouldn't his wife have been unable to conceive again for the rest of her life?

"General, we owe it all to this child." Ji Ping said, still shaken.

Zhao Yucheng nodded in agreement, but still had doubts:

"Zhou Ruo, how can you smell something wrong with this medicine at such a young age?"

"My master taught me!" Zhou Ruo replied, head drooping. She wanted to go out and play after staying indoors for too long.

Zhao Yucheng thought that the master Zhou Ruo mentioned was from Zhoujia Village, which reminded him of the kindness Zhoujia Village had shown him in the past.

He asked her gently, "Considering your great service today, I will adopt you as my goddaughter. Are you willing?"

Zhou Ruo looked at the nanny beside her, and the nanny nodded to her.

She then turned to look at Zhao Yucheng, "What is an adopted daughter?"

"They'll treat me like a daughter, calling me 'Father' and 'Madam' like 'Mother'."

Zhao Yucheng squatted down in front of Zhou Ruo and explained to her gently.

Zhou Ruo had no concept of her parents, but she knew that the general was rewarding her.

"Can I play in the yard as much as I want? Will I always have fruit to eat?"

Zhou Ruo opened her big eyes, her serious and earnest expression amusing everyone.

Ji Ping quickly said, "From now on, this is your home. You can play wherever you want."

"There is a grove in the backyard of our mansion, with many fruit trees and an endless supply of fruit."

"Yay! Yay!" Zhou Ru clapped her hands and shouted, "I want to be your goddaughter!"

Since Zhou Ruo became the general's adopted daughter, Ji Ping settled her in her Lanxiang Courtyard.

Her room was right next to hers, and her daily life was taken care of by Granny Wang and Siqiao.

After gaining freedom of movement, Zhou Ruo wandered around the general's mansion every day.

The guards and servants in the mansion knew she was the general's adopted daughter, so they treated her with great respect.

One day, while she was playing in the mansion, she saw an orange tree growing in a courtyard and went inside.

The door to the house in the courtyard was open, but there was no one around. Zhou Ruo ignored it and climbed the orange tree to pick oranges.

I had just picked two large oranges from the top of the tree when I heard a stern reprimand coming from below:

"Where are you from, kid? What are you doing stealing fruit from my yard!"

The sudden noise startled Zhou Ruo so much that she fell off the tree, landing on her bottom, with two freshly picked oranges hitting her head directly.

"Waaah..." Zhou Ruo rubbed her bottom with one hand and covered her head with the other, trying to hold back her tears.

The guards rushed over upon hearing the commotion. "Young General, this is your newly adopted daughter, Zhou Ruo."

After speaking, the guard stepped forward and helped Zhou Ruo up, carefully asking, "Miss, are you alright?"

Zhou Ruo first picked up the oranges on the ground before turning around to look at the person who had just spoken to scare her.

A young man was sitting in a wheelchair. His handsome face could not hide his sickly appearance, and his lower body was shrouded in a cloud of black mist.

"Who are you?" Zhou Ruo asked, tilting her head.

Zhao Jinzhong laughed angrily, "You came to my yard to steal fruit, and you even ask who I am?"

The guard quickly explained, "Miss, this is the young general, which is... your elder brother."

"Are you my brother?"

In her previous life, Zhou Ruo had been taken care of by her senior brother in the sect, and she had feelings for him.

Because of the fondness she remembered, the discomfort caused by the pain in her buttocks disappeared.

"Hello brother, I'd like to offer you an orange. This orange is very sweet."

She handed one of the freshly picked oranges to Zhao Jinzhong, then peeled and ate it herself.

Zhao Jinzhong watched Zhou Ruo happily eating the oranges, then looked at the oranges on his lap, and unconsciously swallowed.

He didn't say anything more, and turned his wheelchair around and went into the house alone.

The guards were shocked: The young general hadn't thrown away the oranges!

After finishing the orange, Zhou Ruo tugged at the guard's sleeve and said in a pleading tone:

"Could you pick a few more oranges for me? I want to take them back for my parents, my nanny, and Siqiao."

Not long after, Zhou Ruo put five oranges in her clothes and slowly walked out.

As she walked, she pondered the fact that her brother was quite ill.

If the black energy on his leg bites back into his meridians, it will hurt a lot.

If her brother's illness can be cured, her spiritual power should be able to recover to about 30%.

As Zhou Ruo walked, she pondered, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the backyard gate.

She heard someone talking by the wall in the backyard:

"This leg has been cut somehow. We need to arrange another horse as soon as possible. The general needs to get to the training ground."

Zhou Ruo went to investigate and saw the steward and two guards standing in front of the stable, staring at a horse that was neighing softly.

An injured horse? Hehe, that's it!

Zhou Ruo quickly walked to the stable.

"Miss, be careful. This horse is spirited. You might hurt it," the butler said, stopping Zhou Ruo.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm good friends with horses."

Zhou Ruo put the oranges in her arms on the ground and gently approached the injured general's warhorse.

The warhorse had a cut on its foreleg, which was bleeding, and the pain made the horse seem a little irritable.

Fearing that it would delay the general's journey, the steward sent a guard to arrange another horse for the general.

While the butler wasn't looking, Zhou Ruo flicked her small hand on the horse's leg wound, instantly stopping the bleeding.

With another swing, the wound healed instantly.

The horse's earlier agitation disappeared, and with a neigh, it raised its front hooves high, as if to express its gratitude to Zhou Ruo.

The butler was startled when he saw this and quickly pulled Zhou Ruo away, afraid that she would be hurt by the horse.

When he saw the horse raise its front leg, he rubbed his eyes and found that the wound on the horse's leg was gone.

He called the guards back, and the three of them went into the stable to examine the horses. They found no wounds on the horses' legs.

"This is unbelievable! Are we all seeing things?"

But time was of the essence, and the steward couldn't worry about anything else. He ordered the guards to quickly lead the warhorse out for the general.

Since the general's warhorse was unharmed, they were spared a reprimand for "negligence in looking after the horse."

As the horses drove away, Zhou Ruo felt a burning and swelling sensation in the Laogong acupoints on both hands.

She could feel her spiritual power increase slightly again.

Zhou Ruo also discovered that this kind of treatment for minor ailments and pains did not greatly help in restoring spiritual power.

We still need to find a way to cure my brother so that we can have a chance to restore his spiritual power to 30% within a month.
