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

"Iced melon?" the Emperor asked, puzzled. "If you want it chilled, why don't you just have the imperial kitchen prepare some ice for you?"

Zhou Ruomeng shook his head and said, "Not enough, not enough! This old man's place is colder than all the ice in the entire imperial kitchen!"

Only then did the Emperor realize why it felt so cold inside.

But why does the Northern Kingdom's National Preceptor possess such a chilling aura, and as Zhou Ruo said, such a great deal of chilling aura?

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor's expression changed slightly, and even the Northern Kingdom's Crown Prince's expression shifted somewhat.

"Grandpa, hurry up! Use the handle to poke my melon! My stomach is burning, I can't take it anymore!"

Zhou Ru urged.

Although the Northern Kingdom's National Preceptor was slightly shocked that Zhou Ruoneng could say that he carried a chilling aura, she also pointed specifically at the handle of the whisk.

Although the Imperial Preceptor had doubts, he only thought that Zhou Ruo was a child, and children are naturally more intelligent.

It's normal to be able to perceive some things.

"Very well, I will grant the little princess's request."

The Imperial Advisor smiled and tapped Zhou Ruo's cantaloupe three times with the handle of his whisk, his face showing the same affection he would show to his own granddaughter.

"Wow, thank you so much, sir!"

Zhou Ruo, holding the cantaloupe, turned around and skipped back to her seat, happily eating the melon.

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor noticed nothing amiss and returned to his seat with peace of mind.

Seeing that Zhou Ruo made no further comment, the Emperor treated it as a minor incident and began to entertain the people from the Northern Kingdom.

Zhao Jinzhong kept turning his head to watch Zhou Ruo eat that big slice of melon, with wisps of white breath occasionally rising from his mouth. The white breath seemed familiar.

After Zhou Ruo finished eating the entire slice of melon, she let out a satisfied burp, exhaling a long trail of white vapor.

Like swallowing clouds and spitting out mist.

The Seventh Princess, who was standing nearby, was startled. "Ruoruo, what's wrong with you? Why are you exhaling so much white breath while eating a slice of melon?"

"Pretty lady, I feel so comfortable!"

Zhou Ruoxin patted her belly with satisfaction.

She had just placed a cold-absorbing talisman on the melon, and when the Imperial Preceptor tapped her melon with the wooden handle, Zhou Ruo absorbed all the cold air from the handle.

Not a single drop was left.

The emperor no longer felt cold.

On the contrary, the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom was sweating profusely. In this early spring season, when it was still slightly cool, he could sweat profusely even while sitting.

The eldest prince looked to the imperial advisor for help, but the imperial advisor was also puzzled as to why this was the case.

Along the way, the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom suppressed the poisonous fire in his body with the help of the cold energy from the Imperial Advisor's hands, and thus arrived in Daqing unharmed.

Everything was fine just now, how did it suddenly become like this?

Following this, in addition to the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom, several people around the Grand Preceptor also developed the same symptoms as the eldest prince—profuse sweating.

Left with no other choice, the Imperial Advisor simply handed the whisk to the Crown Prince.

He wanted to get the chill from the whisk handle as close to the Crown Prince as possible.

However, there wasn't a trace of cold air left in the handle; Zhou Ruo had already absorbed it all.

The Emperor of Daqing was quite puzzled to see the prince of the Northern Kingdom and several envoys constantly wiping away sweat.

"The Crown Prince comes from the Northern Kingdom. Is he not used to the temperature in Daqing? Is it too hot?"

The Emperor of Daqing inquired with concern.

The eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom wanted to say that it wasn't just Daqing that was hot; he was also unbearably hot in the Northern Kingdom.

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor spoke on behalf of the Crown Prince:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Daqing has very skilled doctors, and that the Daqing court also has a royal medical treasury."

The Emperor of Daqing was pleased to receive recognition from outsiders.

"As the Imperial Advisor said, the medical skills of Daqing are indeed commendable!"

Seeing the smug look on the Emperor of Daqing's face, the Northern Kingdom's National Preceptor continued:

"We have a physician from the North who has accompanied us on this journey. We wish to learn a thing or two from the renowned doctors of the Great Qing Dynasty. Is that permissible?"

The Emperor of Daqing waved his hand and said, "Grand Preceptor, you are too kind. Let's not talk about seeking advice, but rather about exchanging skills with each other!"

Then he turned to Li Chengquan, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and said, "Imperial Physician Li, you make the arrangements."

Imperial Physician Li stepped forward from his seat and bowed to the Emperor, saying, "Your subject obeys the order."

Then Li Chengquan walked up to the Imperial Advisor, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and asked, "I wonder what issues the physicians you mentioned wish to discuss?"

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up beside the Imperial Advisor and said:

"Imperial Physician, I feel unwell and have not been able to recover despite treatment. Please examine and treat me."

Li Chengquan first observed the patient's complexion, then examined his tongue coating, concluding that it indicated a condition of dryness and heat.

Upon further examination of his pulse, signs of qi stagnation and blood stasis were observed.

Just as Li Chengquan was taking the pulse of the northerner, Zhao Jinzhong quietly called out to the Seventh Princess and switched places with her.

He sat down next to Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo was engrossed in eating her snacks, and without looking up, asked, "Brother, why are you leaning closer?"

Zhao Jinzhong admired Zhou Ruo's composure. "Ruo Ruo, what illness does the person that Physician Li is treating have?"

Zhou Ruo looked up at the person opposite her and casually remarked, "You've been poisoned!"

Then he lowered his head and continued eating.

"Poisoning? What kind of poison is it this time?" Zhao Jinzhong asked curiously.

"Brother, don't worry. This poison can be cured by any physician in the Imperial Hospital. It's very simple!"

Zhou Ruo looked completely calm.

She had barely finished speaking when she heard Physician Li say, "This esteemed envoy has been poisoned by a poison called 'Boiling Blood and Sinking'."

The envoy examined by Physician Li was indeed suffering from heat poisoning, and only one doctor in the Northern Kingdom could diagnose it.

But even after being diagnosed, it cannot be cured.

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Master used a special type of silkworm from the North to cool him down, thus saving his life.

The doctor from the North, who was able to diagnose poisoning, was taken aback when he saw that Li Chengquan had made the diagnosis so quickly.

However, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that even if Li Chengquan could diagnose it, he might not be able to cure it.

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor was quite surprised, because he knew that it had taken the Northern Kingdom's doctors three whole days to diagnose the illness.

However, the imperial physicians of Daqing made a diagnosis in such a short time, and the Grand Preceptor felt a surge of joy.

The Imperial Advisor asked Li Chengquan, "Does the Imperial Physician have a way to cure this poison?"

Li Chengquan calmly said, "This poison is easy to cure. Just three needles corresponding to the acupoints will neutralize it. Any physician in the Imperial Medical Academy can do it."

The doctor from the north looked on with disbelief: "What arrogance! Any imperial physician can cure you? Just wait and see how you make a fool of yourself!"

The imperial physicians who were originally scheduled to attend the banquet were Li Chengquan and Qin Shuming, but due to family matters, a junior physician was temporarily sent to replace Qin.

Li Chengquan called the young imperial physician to his side and explained the situation of the poisoned messenger to him.

The young physician already understood the patient's symptoms and knew how to administer acupuncture.

After receiving permission from the Emperor to perform acupuncture treatment in public, the young imperial physician took out three needles and, with slightly clumsy technique, inserted them into the acupoints.

After the three needles were inserted, the sweat on the poisoned envoy's face visibly disappeared.

A refreshing coolness followed.

"Huh? It's all better? Is the poison gone? I don't feel as hot anymore!"

The envoy, who had been poisoned by the boiling blood dust, jumped up in delight, feeling refreshed all over.

The doctor from the northern kingdom stared in disbelief at the changes in the envoy.
