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

"Master Yunxu said that the yang energy of forty-nine boys is needed to cultivate the art of immortality."

After hearing Zhao Jinzhong's words, An Chang felt terrible.

"You mean, there will be more children they'll use to absorb yang energy?"

Zhao Jinzhong got up, walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the peach blossoms that were already in full bloom in the courtyard.

I recall the faces of the children in Yunxu Temple.

Those children were about the same age as Zhou Ruo, how could Lü Qingchen bring himself to do it?

His viciousness far surpasses that of Consort Yu!

Zhao Jinzhong said to An Chang, "Yunxu Temple should receive more abandoned boys in the next two days."

An Chang jumped to his feet as well. "Then what are we waiting for? We have to do something, right?"

Zhao Jinzhong nodded in agreement, "We need to make a trip to Tonggu County."

"However, before we go, we need to learn more about the situation of those orphanages."

Also, I'd like to visit the Dowager Princess.

"Hey, just say you want to come to my house!"

Just as Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang were about to set off for the Prince An's residence, Zhou Ruo ran in from outside, calling out to them.

"Brother! Brother! Do you know?"

"Brother! Let me tell you, Zhiyu just bit Jinxiao's foot, and Jinxiao cried so hard!"

Zhao Jinzhong raised an eyebrow at Zhou Ruo, "Why did Zhiyu bite Jinxiao's foot?"

"Mother said that Zhiyu was probably itchy and looking for something to chew on, so he grabbed Jinxiao's toes and bit them."

"But I don't think so. I think it must be because Zhiyu is hungry, and Jinxiao's feet smell nice."

An Chang chuckled and asked, "Your feet smell good? You've smelled them?"

Zhou Ruo said earnestly, "Hmm! I smelled it, it smells like roasted corn, it smells so good!"

"Hahahaha!" An Chang was amused by Zhou Ruo, and he asked Zhao Jinzhong, "When did she become so funny?"

Zhao Jinzhong merely smiled slightly and said, "Let's go!"

"Brother, where are you going? Take me with you, don't leave me behind!"

"Go to Prince An's residence to see the Dowager Princess."

"Great! I haven't seen my grandmother in a while, I miss her terribly, and so does An Nan!"

Stepping into the courtyard, Zhou Ruo suddenly exclaimed, "And Wulong too! Wulong is going too!"

Zhou Ruo was about to take the black dragon away when An Chang stopped her, "Ruo Ruo, maybe we shouldn't take the black dragon..."

Seeing An Chang's troubled expression, Zhao Jinzhong asked, "What's wrong? Is there something in Prince An's residence that Wulong can't see?"

An Chang glanced at Zhou Ruo, then leaned close to Zhao Jinzhong and whispered,

"I don't know where my dad got this dog, it's not small, and... it's a female."

Zhao Jinzhong didn't quite understand. "Are you worried the two dogs will fight?"

An Chang rolled her eyes at him, "You're such a blockhead! I'm worried that the one in our household is just going to have babies."

It's only just arrived; it'll need some time to adjust, right?

Zhao Jinzhong gave an awkward smile and said, "Oh, Wulong is not young anymore, it's time for him to settle down and start a family."

Without paying attention to An Chang's worries, he led Zhou Ruo and Wulong to the Prince An's residence.

However, upon arriving at Prince An's residence, just as An Chang had predicted, the female dog rushed towards Wulong as soon as he entered the gate.

"Did they come by smell?" Zhao Jinzhong found it amazing.

An Chang stared at him without saying a word.

Zhou Ruo seemed very excited, "Wow! Oolong, you have a friend now! You guys go play, I'll call you when I leave!"

With his young master's permission, Wulong barked twice, wagged his tail, and ran towards the garden with the palace's female dog.

"Brother Anchang, what was the name of that dog just now?" Zhou Ruo was happy that Wulong had met a friend he liked.

"It's called Biluo," An Chang replied.

Zhao Jinzhong chuckled softly, "Why are both dogs named after tea?"

An Chang said, "My father brought Biluochun tea back from Yuhang. I heard that it loved to eat the tea seedlings of Biluochun tea since it was a cub."

And since he also smelled of tea, that's how we got the name.

After a brief interlude, Zhao Jinzhong and his group headed straight for the Empress Dowager's courtyard to handle official business.

"Grandmother—" Zhou Ruo ran into the Dowager Consort's courtyard like a gust of wind.

The Dowager Consort had just finished chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall when An Nan was in her room.

Zhou Ruo rushed into the Empress Dowager's arms and murmured "Grandmother" several times.

"Oh my, which little darling is this?"

"Grandmother, it's me!" Zhou Ruo looked up and smiled at the Dowager Consort.

"So it's Ruo'er!" The grandmother and granddaughter chatted for a while, one teasing and the other praising.

Then, Zhou Ruo suddenly took out a string of beads from her bosom and gave it to the Dowager Consort.

"Grandma, you haven't been sleeping well lately. Wear this string of beads on your wrist, and you'll definitely sleep soundly tonight!"

When Zhou Ruo nestled in the Empress Dowager's arms, she noticed that the Empress Dowager's blood circulation was not very smooth, which was caused by not sleeping well at night.

She immediately exchanged a string of beads containing calming pills from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion for 1,800 spirit stones.

The Empress Dowager was startled. She had been restless and unable to sleep well at night for some time.

Granny Li was anxiously waiting to see what was happening to the Empress Dowager.

The imperial physician was summoned to examine the concubine's pulse, but he only said that the concubine had not slept well and prescribed some calming medicine.

However, the Empress Dowager had no intention of drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, because it was ineffective and she still couldn't sleep.

The headache did not get better.

Prince An and his wife cared for the Dowager Consort, paying their respects to her every morning and evening and bringing her a large amount of tonics, but to no avail.

Until yesterday, when the steward reported that many children had gone missing from the orphanage, the Dowager was immediately alarmed.

She then realized that her many sleepless nights were related to the accident involving the children at the orphanage.

She sensed that something big was about to happen, so she spent an extra hour chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall, just to put her mind at ease.

Zhou Ruo hadn't visited her for a while; she and Zhao Jinzhong had been busy with the Crown Prince's affairs recently.

Now, upon arrival, they were able to discover the Dowager's insomnia and restlessness, and immediately provided her with remedies.

For a child to achieve such a feat is far beyond what even the imperial physicians, or even the princes and princesses, could accomplish.

There are just so many thoughtful touches.

The Dowager was very touched and accepted the beaded bracelet from Zhou Ruo, putting it on her wrist.

Immediately, a surge of energy traveled up my arm to my head, bringing a cool and comfortable sensation to my scalp.

The energy continued to flow downwards, reaching the heart, where the previously tense heart felt a warm current and relaxed considerably.

"Ruo'er's medicine is still the most effective!" The Empress Dowager said with emotion as she held Zhou Ruo in her arms.

Zhou Ruo gently touched the Dowager Consort's furrowed brows and said calmly,

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll find a way to cure those children!"

The Empress Dowager, Zhao Jinzhong, and An Chang were all shocked.

To the Empress Dowager's shock, Zhou Ruo actually knew that she was anxious and restless because of the children at the orphanage.

Zhao Jinzhong was shocked because he had only learned about the Baoyoutang incident from An Chang before he came, and that it was related to the Empress Dowager.

Zhou Ruo wasn't present at the time, so how could she know that the Empress Dowager was worried about the children at Baoyoutang?

An Chang then recounted the shocking events that had stunned the Empress Dowager and Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhou Ruo calmly addressed the group of people who were staring at her in surprise, saying, "Don't look at me like that, I'm sure I can cure you!"

Yes! You must believe in yourself, believe in your fellow disciples from the Alchemy Sect, and believe in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!

Zhou Ruo's shocking deeds were not the only ones, but the Dowager Consort was the first to calmly accept her supernatural abilities.

"Alright, Grandmother believes in Ruo'er!"

Zhao Jinzhong was soon able to digest Zhou Ruoyou's ability to see divine eyes.

As for An Chang, seeing that the Empress Dowager and Zhao Jinzhong accepted it calmly, he was not surprised.
