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

"We must save them! We must save them! Let's go now!" Zhou Ruo was decisive and efficient, showing remarkable action at such a young age.

Zhao Jinzhong stopped her, "Wait two days. I have an important matter to attend to tomorrow. If all goes well, we'll go the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Zhou obeyed Zhao Jinzhong's arrangement, "Alright, I will await news from Young Master Zhao."

Zhao Jing and Jiang Zhou shared lunch with Zhao Yucheng's family before leaving. From then on, the Zhaoping Earl's Mansion and the Dingguo Duke's Mansion forged a friendly relationship.

More importantly, through the archery club and Zhou Ruo's healing of Jiang Zhou,

The eldest princess began to treat Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo differently, or rather, she began to value them more.

After Jiang Zhou left, Zhou Ruo asked Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, why do we have to wait two more days before we go to the place Brother Jiang mentioned?"

"Because tomorrow, my brother is taking Jia Yuntian to the palace to meet the Emperor; there are very important matters to attend to."

"Oh~" Zhou Ruo pretended to understand even though she didn't. She couldn't help with this part, so she went back to Lanxiang Courtyard to play with her younger siblings.

After the matter between Consort Yu and Wang Changlin was settled, Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo immediately rushed to the scene of Ji Ping giving birth.

Next up was the archery competition.

A few days ago, Jia Yuntian came to find Zhao Jinzhong.

He begged Zhao Jinzhong to intercede with the Emperor on his behalf, to investigate the wrongful case of the imperial merchant from years ago, and to give Jia family justice.

Zhao Jinzhong felt it was his duty to do so.

Previously, while investigating Wang Changlin and Consort Yu's rebellion and struggle for the throne, Zhou Ruo discovered the Vermilion Bird Grass in Shuixianfang.

Later, when Zhao Yucheng led his troops to besiege Wang Changlin's personal guards in the suburbs of Beijing, he discovered the Flame Bird in their camp.

After Fu Daqian and his team confirmed that these firebirds were the very ones they had brought back to the capital from Chiyan Prefecture and presented as tribute to the imperial court.

These firebirds all have perfectly preserved Vermilion Bird Grass inside their bodies.

Zhao Jinzhong reported the matter to the Crown Prince, and he felt that it would be more prudent to report it to the Emperor after the Crown Prince's approval.

However, because the crown prince was young at the time, he was unaware that the imperial merchant Jia had been executed.

Zhao Jinzhong earnestly pleaded with the Crown Prince to find a way to clear Jia's name.

The Crown Prince also felt deeply sorry for Jia Guozhang's matter, so he brought Zhao Jinzhong to meet the Emperor and reported the matter.

However, the emperor only had an impression of the case of Jia Guozhang's execution, but he couldn't remember the specific reasons why he was executed.

It is clear that the Emperor's original intention was not to behead Jia Guozhang; it must have been Consort Yu and others who interfered.

The Emperor summoned Cai Jingsi, the Minister of Justice who had presided over the trial of Jia Guozhang's case, and learned the ins and outs of the incident from him.

With the Imperial Advisor and Wang Changlin both executed, Cai Jingsi had no further worries and confessed to the Emperor the truth of what had happened back then.

After further investigation and questioning by the Imperial Household Department, the Emperor finally sorted out the case of Jia Guozhang.

Back then, Consort Yu secretly bribed and manipulated the Imperial Household Department to issue a purchase order for Vermilion Bird Grass to Jia Guozhang.

In fact, even at the time, Consort Yu was not sure that Jia Guozhang would be able to procure the Vermilion Bird Grass, but she did not expect that he would actually succeed.

Later, based on the amount of Vermilion Bird Grass she needed to make elixirs, Consort Yu instructed Jia Guozhang to purchase it in two separate transactions.

These Vermilion Bird Grasses are enough for her to use for twenty years.

After securing the Vermilion Bird Grass, Consort Yu, to prevent anyone from using it to find fault with her later,

They then had Jia Guozhang sentenced to death on the grounds that he had presented "poison" as tribute.

However, Jia Guozhang was very famous in the capital at that time, and if he were to be punished according to the crime of exterminating nine generations of his family, it would probably be difficult to quell the matter.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, the Imperial Advisor carried the imperial sword bestowed upon him by the Emperor.

The court guided the joint trial by the three judicial departments and the Ministry of Revenue to review the case, ultimately sentencing Jia Guozhang to death by beheading, confiscating his property, and exiling his family.

Then, during the exile, all of Jia Guozhang's relatives and family members were killed to eliminate any future trouble.

When Cai Jingsi was presiding over the trial of this case at the Ministry of Justice, he vaguely felt that some issues were unclear.

However, due to the imperial advisor's authority, he had no choice but to obey orders.

Finally, the verdict was finalized, and the memorial was presented to the emperor.

The Imperial Preceptor then emphasized to the Emperor that Jia Guozhang's tribute of non-compliant medicinal materials was malicious and his intentions were deserving of punishment.

The emperor, trusting the imperial advisor, approved the Ministry of Justice's verdict.

The once-powerful merchant Jia Guozhang died unjustly, with the Imperial Advisor and Consort Yu wielding absolute power.

Later, after Fu Daqian and his brothers returned to the capital with the Flame Bird, they were ambushed and killed by Consort Yu's men.

In the end, they lost their birds and scattered to escape, secretly surviving.

Jia Yuntian was secretly entrusted to the care of a distant relative by the steward, but a few years later, the steward's distant relative also passed away.

As a young boy, Jia Yuntian mingled among beggars, barely surviving.

However, he was unwilling to accept this and kept waiting for an opportunity, hoping that one day he could seek justice for Jia Guozhang.

He knew the hope was slim, so he lived a muddled and aimless life as a beggar in the capital.

Later, due to excessive worry, he fell ill.

He was finally treated at Zhou Ruo's stall in the city.

After being amazed by Zhou Ruo's innocence, kindness, and superb medical skills as a child, Jia Yuntian was greatly encouraged and began to start anew.

Later, he was fortunate enough to enter the Ling Shu Hall and work as a medicine cabinet clerk for Zhou Ruo and a few other small business owners.

To Jia Yuntian's utter surprise, Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo were not only able to curry favor with the Crown Prince, but also to completely uproot Consort Yu's entire network.

They were able to reap what they sowed and were punished.

Along the way, Jia Yuntian saw that Zhao Jinzhong, despite his young age, possessed a loyal and righteous heart, and was capable of taking action and accomplishing great things.

That's why, after Consort Yu and Wang Changlin were executed, he begged Zhao Jinzhong to plead with the Emperor on his behalf.

After seeing Zhao Jing and Jiang Zhou off, Zhao Jinzhong brought Jia Yuntian to the palace to meet the emperor the next day.

Heaven had mercy, and in the end, the Emperor issued an edict clearing Jia Guozhang of his injustice.

The Jia family's status as imperial merchants was restored, and Jia Yuntian succeeded his father as the head of the family.

Jia Yuntian followed Zhao Jinzhong back to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

He took the imperial merchant token newly bestowed by the emperor, kowtowed three times to Zhao Jinzhong, and then hugged Zhao Jinzhong and wept loudly.

With Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo as his backers, Jia Yuntian's path to becoming a royal merchant was much easier than that of his father, Jia Guozhang.

With the help of the Fu brothers, Qian Lai and his brothers, Jia Yuntian re-established the connections he had made with Jia Guozhang, and a new generation of imperial merchants was about to be born.

Zhou Ruo listened from the side, only half understanding.

But at least she understood that Jia Yuntian could now purchase many medicinal herbs to sell to the imperial court and the people.

"Jia Yuntian, if you ever need any medicine you can't find in the future, remember to come find me!"

Zhou Ruo thought that since she had so many treasures in her Immortal Treasure Pavilion, they would only have value if she took them out and used them.

Moreover, the more treasures inside she uses, the more spirit stones she can convert.

Who knows, she might even help her fellow cultivators boost their performance records!

After all, in her previous life, she single-handedly boosted the performance of the Alchemy Sect and other sects.

The market in the mortal realm is much larger than that in the cultivation world, allowing treasures from the cultivation world to circulate in the mortal realm.

Sharing treasures is better than keeping them all to oneself in the cultivation world!

Hearing Zhou Ruo say this, Jia Yuntian was overjoyed.

"Yes, Princess. With you and the young master here, I can now confidently unleash my full potential!"

There's no need to worry about incurable diseases or the inability to find medicinal herbs.

"My parents can rest in peace now!"

Jia Yuntian felt as if he had been reborn.
