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

The eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom, who had just taken the elixir, heard Zhou Ruo say, "Stretch out your hand!"

The eldest prince looked at Zhou Ruo in response to the sound, only to see that she was already holding a thin, thread-like silver needle in her hand.

The eldest prince was startled. He remained seated and took a step back, almost falling off the chair.

"Little princess, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ruo said, "I'm going to give you acupuncture. You just took the pill, so you need to get acupuncture immediately for it to be effective!"

"How come you can still do acupuncture?" The eldest prince found it hard to believe.

Speaking of silver needles, Li Chengquan really wanted to say something.

He stepped forward and said to the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom, "Your Highness may not know this, but Princess Anning is not only skilled in acupuncture."

I dare say that no one else in this world can wield the silver needles she holds.

Zhou Ruo felt that the people around her were too dawdling. Taking advantage of the Crown Prince's momentary lapse in attention, she directly inserted a silver needle into the acupoint on his wrist.

I received two injections in a row.

The speed and the lightness of the technique were such that the eldest prince didn't even notice until the needles were inserted.

However, Qu Jin saw all of Zhou Ruo's acupuncture movements.

Ever since Zhou Ruoneng mentioned the poison Yanling Powder, Qu Jin has been keeping a close eye on Zhou Ruoneng's every move.

After she finished giving the eldest prince acupuncture with lightning speed, Qu Jin walked to Zhou Ruo's side.

His eyes were fixed on the needle case in Zhou Ruo's hand.

After taking the medicine and receiving two acupuncture treatments, the eldest prince's sweating quickly stopped.

He could feel that the blood that had been almost boiling in his body had now calmed down.

A cool breeze seemed to flow through every corner of my body.

He hadn't felt this comfortable for over a year.

The visible change in the face of the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom relieved the Grand Preceptor of his worries.

The eldest prince looked at Zhou Ruo in disbelief and asked, "Has my body fully recovered?"

But Zhou Ruo shook her head and said, "Your body won't heal so easily."

A glimmer of hope ignited in the eldest prince's eyes, only to be extinguished in an instant.

He said, somewhat dejectedly, "Is there any hope of recovery?"

"As long as I'm here, there's always hope! Just three more times, and it'll be better!"

Zhou Ruo held up three short fingers and said to the eldest prince.

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor confirmed with Zhou Ruo again:

"Does the little princess mean that our eldest prince needs to take medicine three more times and have acupuncture three more times before he can be cured?"

Zhou Ru nodded vigorously, "Mmm-hmm!"

At this moment, the Emperor spoke:

"In that case, let the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom move into the Duke of Dingguo's residence. What does the Duke of Dingguo think of this?"

Zhao Yucheng commands the most powerful military force in the Daqing Dynasty, while Zhou Ruo is the most skilled physician in the Daqing Dynasty.

The Emperor's intention in arranging for the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom to reside in the Duke of Dingguo's residence was quite clear.

Firstly, it would make it easier for Zhou Ruo to treat the eldest prince's illness, and secondly, it would allow Zhao Yucheng to easily monitor the eldest prince's every move.

If the other party makes any move that is even slightly detrimental to the Daqing Dynasty, Zhao Yucheng can nip it in the bud.

Zhao Yucheng stepped forward: "As long as it is for the good of our two countries, I am willing to obey all of Your Majesty's arrangements!"

Thus, the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom, the Imperial Preceptor, and the Grand Master Qu Jin all moved into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

Other envoys stayed at the guesthouse.

After some persistent pestering of the eldest prince, the third princess also moved into the Duke's mansion with him.

Zhao Yucheng arranged for the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom and others to be housed in the Wujing Academy.

The Wujing Academy was closest to the Wude Academy, which also made it convenient for Zhao Zhongcheng to "monitor" the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom at any time.

Zhou Ruo would go to Wujing Hospital every day to give the eldest prince medicine and acupuncture.

On the third day after the eldest prince and his entourage checked into the Wujing Academy, Zhou Ruo finished administering the last acupuncture needle to them.

It can be seen that the poison from the Boiling Blood and Flame Spirit Powder on the Crown Prince's body has been completely removed.

Qu Jin stayed by the Crown Prince's side every day, watching Zhou Ruo perform acupuncture treatment on him.

He had thought of improving his skills by observing and learning Zhou Ruo's acupuncture techniques, but he found that he simply couldn't learn them.

On the first day, after Zhou Ruo finished giving the eldest prince acupuncture, Qu Jin couldn't resist any longer and asked Zhou Ruo for a silver needle.

When he held the silver needle in his hand, he couldn't even keep the tip of the needle from wobbling.

Because the silver needles are as thin as hair, even the breath of an ordinary person's fingertip can make them tremble slightly.

If the person holding the needle experiences a change in consciousness, the silver needle will tremble even more violently.

Therefore, Qu Jin couldn't even hold a needle steady, let alone insert it.

Moreover, Zhou Ruo's silver needles were not only thin, but also soft.

Qu Jin also tried it, forcefully inserting the silver needles into his arm while they were trembling.

However, when the silver needle touches one's own skin and flesh, it is like a slightly stiff thin rope, which bends easily.

However, Zhou Ruo was able to use such a fine and soft silver needle to steadily insert it into the Crown Prince's acupoints.

After trying it himself, Qu Jin was amazed by Zhou Ruo's acupuncture skills.

He no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Ruo.

Knowing that the eldest prince and the third princess of the Northern Kingdom had moved into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, the seventh princess would come to the mansion the next day.

The official reason given was to visit Ji Ping and the two children, and also to have some fun with Zhou Ruo.

In reality, the Seventh Princess wanted to see if the Third Princess of the Northern Kingdom had any close dealings with Zhao Jinzhong.

Because at the banquet that day, Zhao Jinzhong stepped forward and stood in front of Zhou Ruo to speak with Qu Jin.

After that, the Seventh Princess noticed that the Third Princess of the Northern Kingdom was looking at Zhao Jinzhong in a strange way.

Furthermore, among the Northern Kingdom personnel later arranged by the Emperor to reside in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, the Third Princess was not included.

However, the Third Princess insisted and eventually moved into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion as well.

After learning about this, the Seventh Princess was restless and unable to sit still, so she had to frequently visit the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

Five days later, news spread from the palace that the Third Princess of the Northern Kingdom had originally intended to marry the Second Prince of the Great Qing Dynasty.

However, the Third Princess suddenly proposed to the Emperor of Daqing that she wanted to marry Zhao Jinzhong.

Given Zhao Yucheng's current status and contributions in the Daqing Dynasty, it is in accordance with the etiquette between the two countries to have Zhao Jinzhong marry the princess of the Northern Kingdom.

However, this matter requires the approval of both the Duke of Dingguo and Zhao Jinzhong.

Along with the news that the Third Princess had requested to marry Zhao Jinzhong, other news also emerged:

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor requested Emperor Daqing to send Zhou Ruo to the Northern Kingdom to treat the Northern Kingdom's emperor and the poisoned court officials.

In the Northern Kingdom, in addition to the eldest prince suffering from a combination of Boiling Blood and Flame Spirit Powder poison, the Northern Kingdom's emperor had also been poisoned by this poison for over a year.

After experiencing the pandemic, half of the people in the northern country are suffering from severe illness.

The real purpose of this visit from the North to Daqing is to request that a doctor from Daqing who can cure hemoglobin be sent to the North to provide assistance.

The marriage alliance between the royal families of the two countries was a bargaining chip used by the Northern Kingdom as a hostage to exchange for the Daqing official's trip to the Northern Kingdom.

When the news of Zhou Ruo's personal trip to the Northern Kingdom was released, the first person to object was the Dowager Consort.

After news broke that the Third Princess had begged to marry Zhao Jinzhong, the Seventh Princess's mother, Consort Zheng, began to chat with the Emperor about everyday matters.
