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

"Okay, okay! I'll go with you right now." Zhou Ruo was overjoyed to hear that she could return to the palace with the Seventh Princess.

She had long wanted to visit the Seventh Princess's palace and play with her.

Just as they were about to set off, Wu Jia rushed in, excitedly saying,

"Young General, Princess, the imperial decree bestowing rewards has arrived at the General's residence. The General has sent me to invite you back to collect your rewards!"

"This..." Zhou Ruo looked back at the Seventh Princess with an apologetic expression, "I can't go back with the pretty sister."

The Seventh Princess was about to say that it was alright, another day was fine too.

Zhou Ruo, however, had a sudden inspiration. "I've got it! Pretty sister, wait for me a minute!"

She quickly went into the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and redeemed a "Formation Removal Talisman".

The talismans used in the cultivation world are different from those in the mortal world. This array-removing talisman is made of a special material, like a piece of cloth.

Zhou Ruo infused her spiritual power into the talisman, silently chanting, "Remove the formation for me, and I will be immune to all harm!"

Then the talisman was handed to the seventh princess.

"Pretty sister, take this talisman back to your mother's place and burn it; that will break the spell!"

The seventh princess held the talisman in her hand, examining it repeatedly, and exclaimed in amazement, "Is it really that powerful?"

"Yes, yes, I've already told it. It will help you eliminate all the bad things!"

Zhou Ruo spoke with confidence, which dispelled the Seventh Princess's doubts.

Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo returned to the general's mansion together, where Eunuch Qin was already waiting in the hall.

Zhao Yucheng was rewarded for saving the emperor and was promoted to Duke of Dingguo, a hereditary title.

She was promoted from Princess Ji'an to Princess Anning and bestowed with gold seals and a gold book.

Zhao Jinzhong was both wise and brave. He worked with Princess Ji'anning to thwart palace plots and protected the emperor. He was awarded the title of Junior Guardian of the Crown Prince.

The above three individuals will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred bolts of brocade.

After the Emperor bestowed the title of Princess Zhou Ruo, it became inconvenient for her to appear at Ji'an Hall to treat the people.

The Emperor also issued an edict ordering the Imperial Physicians and physicians from various official residences to send one person to Ji'an Hall for daily outpatient visits.

Ji'an Hall became a channel for the imperial court to treat the people, with low consultation fees and high-quality, inexpensive medicines.

Doctors only turn to Zhou Ruo for help when they encounter incurable or rare diseases.

From then on, Zhou Ruo, as a princess, stayed behind the scenes and no longer easily appeared in public.

Those who came and went were mostly emperors, empresses, concubines, and officials and their families in the capital.

The Emperor's main reason for this was the princess's noble status.

At the same time, they did not want Zhou Ruo to bear too much medical responsibility at such a young age.

There's plenty of time ahead. Four- or five-year-olds should live like four- or five-year-olds. Happiness and health are more important than anything else.

The Emperor's protection of Zhou Ruo was mainly due to the Seventh Princess.

Although the Seventh Princess was lively by nature, she had always been depressed because of the poison scar on her face.

Even when she occasionally laughs or speaks in public, it's always hidden behind a veil, and few people know about it.

The Emperor could only catch glimpses of the Seventh Princess's cheerful and lively demeanor when he visited Xiangxi Palace.

After Zhou Ruo healed the Seventh Princess's poison scars and removed her veil, she became the most beautiful woman in the palace.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the most beautiful place in the entire capital.

She finally dared to play and frolic happily every day in the sunlight and in the harem, no longer caring about the ridicule of others.

Zhou Ruo, who enabled the Seventh Princess to be "reborn" here, is a child who is less than five years old.

She has navigated through pandemics and palace coups to save the people and the royal family from peril.

She shouldn't have to work so hard; she deserves a childhood no different from that of other children.

The Seventh Princess brought the talisman back to Xiangxi Palace and, as Zhou Ruo had instructed, lit it in Consort Zheng's bedroom.

The small talisman cloth burst into flames, stunning Consort Zheng, the Seventh Princess, and everyone else in the hall.

The energy released by this talisman was enormous, and it took an incense stick to burn out completely.

The entire Xiangxi Palace became bright and clear, no longer feeling dark or eerie.

The palace maids planted by Consort Yu have also been dragged out and beaten to death.

Consort Zheng felt a sense of relief she hadn't experienced in over a decade.

Only then did she truly realize that Xiangxi Palace was home, while before, it was hell.

Two days later, Ji Ping went into labor.

Zhao Yucheng waited anxiously outside the door.

Hearing Ji Ping's painful cries from inside the house, Zhao Jinzhong was also very worried.

Only Zhou Ruo lay upright on a recliner outside Ji Ping's house in Lanxiang Courtyard, with one leg crossed over the knee of the other.

With one hand behind his head and the other holding an apple, he leisurely ate it.

Her calf was trembling slightly, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

"Ruo Ruo, how can you still eat? Your mother is in so much pain." Zhao Jinzhong sat anxiously beside Zhou Ruo.

"Brother, no rush, no rush! In just one incense stick's time, I'll be a big sister!"

Zhou Ruo was biting into an apple, smiling happily.

"really?"

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"

Zhou Ruo had given Ji Ping an injection yesterday to ensure a smooth delivery and protect her pregnancy with her spiritual power.

Sure enough, before an incense stick had burned, the cries of two babies came from inside the room.

The two children came out within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Congratulations, General! Congratulations on the birth of your twins! Your family is truly blessed!"

The midwife and Granny Wang each carried a swaddled baby as they opened the door and came out.

Zhou Ruo sprang up from the recliner and rushed to Zhao Yucheng in a few quick movements, even faster than Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Yucheng held one in each arm, and Zhou Ruochong stretched out his little arms and called out,

"Me too, me too, Daddy, I want a hug too!"

Zhao Jinzhong walked over and pulled Zhou Ruo aside, "Ruo Ruo, stop fooling around. These aren't fruits, they're two little treasures. Look at them, don't touch them!"

"Oh..." Zhou Ruo obediently withdrew her little hand. She was too small to be seen, so Zhao Jinzhong picked her up.

"Wow~ They're all so small!" Zhou Ruo had never seen such small children before; they weren't even as big as the cats in the yard.

Soft and chewy, it moves its little mouth but can't speak.

Zhao Yucheng carried the child and went back into the house to see Ji Ping.

Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo followed them inside.

Zhao Yucheng showed both children to Ji Ping, saying, "Madam, look, both children were born very well. You've worked so hard!"

Ji Ping looked tired, but her face radiated happiness and joy that she couldn't hide.

Zhou Ruo also imitated Zhao Yucheng, saying, "Mother, you've worked so hard!"

She took a health-preserving pill from her bosom and gave it to Ji Ping, "Mommy, take this, and you'll recover quickly!"

Ji Ping took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

In a short while, a warm current surged through my body, quickly dispelling the fatigue and discomfort I felt after giving birth.

Half an hour later, Ji Ping was able to get out of bed and move around.

Zhao Yucheng named his two children Zhao Jinxiao and Zhao Zhiyu.

Zhou Ruo lay on the bed looking at the two little babies, and the names Zhao Yucheng had given them made her laugh.

She said to Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, from now on you'll teach your younger brother to ride horses and shoot arrows, and I'll teach my younger sister to do acupuncture, okay?"

Zhou Ruo's words amused everyone inside and outside the house.

The entire general's mansion was once again enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
