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

When the news that Zhou Ruo was required to go to the Northern Kingdom reached the Prince An's residence, the Dowager Consort was restless and simply went straight to the Duke of Dingguo's residence.

"Ruo'er! Ruo'er!" The Dowager Consort, leaning on a cane with one hand and supported by Anzang with the other, entered the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

Because the Empress Dowager had already informed Zhou Ruo of her arrival at the mansion, Zhou Ruo was rushing from Lanxiang Courtyard all the way to the mansion gate.

As they approached the gate of the mansion, they encountered the Dowager Consort and An Chang. Zhou Ruo rushed into the Dowager Consort's arms.

The Dowager Princess hugged her and said, "Ruo'er, your grandmother does not agree to you going to the Northern Kingdom, absolutely not!"

"Grandmother, come with me." Zhou Ruo took the Dowager's hand and walked towards the backyard.

A group of rabbits were kept in the backyard at some point, but the rabbits' mental state was not quite normal.

Their fur was soaked, and they were trembling all over.

Some rabbits were foaming at the mouth and had vacant eyes.

Zhou Ruo led the Dowager to the rabbit pen and pointed to a group of sickly rabbits, saying, "Grandmother, look."

I channeled the illness of the northern envoys, and the sickness of their eldest prince, into these rabbits.

The Dowager looked at the rabbits in the circle, then at Zhou Ruo, not understanding her meaning.

An Changxian reacted first, clapping his hands and shouting:

"I understand. Ruoruo means that there are many people in the North, just like these rabbits."

Zhou Ruo smiled broadly; she could communicate without saying a word, which was truly delightful.

"Brother Anchang is right."

"Grandma, look, there are so many people in the North who are suffering just like these rabbits. I want to go and help them."

The Dowager Princess turned her gaze to the group of rabbits and stared blankly for a moment, lost in thought.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not react, Zhou Ruo continued, "Grandmother, I will be able to cure them soon."

"I'll be back once I'm cured!"

The Dowager Consort turned around, leaning on her cane with one hand and gently stroking Zhou Ruo's head with the other.

He gently tidied her wind-blown hair and asked:

"The journey from the capital to the northern lands takes five months each way. How long will it take you to cure them once you get there?"

"Two months at most!" Zhou Ruo said, holding up two fingers to the Empress Dowager.

"That will take at least a year, and your grandmother won't see you for a whole year."

The Dowager looked at Zhou Ruo's obedient and sensible appearance, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Grandma, I write to you when I miss you. I can write very well now, and I can write a lot of words."

I can write it myself without my brother writing it for me!

"And Grandma, if you miss me, you can come and see these rabbits."

If I cure the people of the North, these rabbits will be cured too.

I'll be back very soon by then.

Zhou Ruo spoke eloquently, her mind already filled with daydreams of her journey to the North.

"Grandmother, I've finally made it to the Northern Kingdom. I'll try to cure them within a month, and then I can have some fun there."

If I see anything delicious that we don't have in Daqing, I'll bring it back for you!

It's true that youth doesn't know the sorrows of old age. As the Dowager Consort looked at Zhou Ruo's longing for the Northern Kingdom, her initial resistance slowly crumbled.

At this moment, Zhao Jinzhong said to the Dowager Consort, "Please rest assured, Dowager Consort, I will accompany Ruoruo on this trip and will definitely protect her."

The Dowager Princess wiped away her tears and nodded, finally agreeing, "With Jinzhong by my side, I can rest assured."

"But it's not enough to just keep their third princess as a hostage; we also need to keep their eldest prince."

In the Dowager Consort's heart, none of her ten princes in the Northern Kingdom were as precious as Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Jinzhong told the Empress Dowager that the Emperor also shared this view.

Three days later, Zhou Ruo was summoned to the palace by the emperor.

The emperor was more concerned with the issue of achieving immortality.

Since the Imperial Preceptor was beheaded, Lü Qingchen's Elixir of Immortality has been gone again.

The emperor believed that perhaps only Zhou Ruo could help him achieve immortality.

He was worried that Zhou Ruoyi would be gone for at least a year, and if something happened to him in the middle of the trip, the Imperial Hospital would be helpless. What should they do then?

Therefore, the emperor summoned Zhou Ruo specifically, hoping that Zhou Ruo could give him some reassurance.

Zhou Ruo was naturally prepared to enter the palace.

She handed a large porcelain bottle filled with Pure Yang Elixir to the Emperor:

"Here are two hundred Pure Yang Pills. Take one every three days, and they'll last until I return."

A few days ago, Zhou Ruo placed an order for two hundred Pure Yang Pills at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Based on Zhao Jinzhong's experience of "small profits but quick turnover," Zhou Ruo specifically negotiated another round of prices at Xianbao Pavilion.

"Hey! I need two Pure Yang Pills this time. Can you give me a discount? It should be even cheaper than eighty spirit stones."

Yesterday, Zhou Ruo received a message from Eunuch Qin at the Duke of Dingguo's residence, informing her that the Emperor wanted to summon her to the palace. She entered the Xianbao Pavilion and was delighted to see it.

Two hundred spirit stones are already stored in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and the exchange price is only seventy-five spirit stones.

"Hehe, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion is getting more and more loyal!"

Zhou Ruo explained the effects of the Pure Yang Pill to the Emperor, who finally felt reassured.

Ever since the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom told the Emperor of Daqing that the Third Princess wanted to marry Zhao Jinzhong, the Seventh Princess had been feeling down.

It was only then that Consort Zheng realized that her daughter had fallen in love with Zhao Jinzhong.

For several days in a row, she would intentionally or unintentionally mention to the Emperor that she did not want Zhao Jinzhong to marry the Third Princess of the Northern Kingdom.

The Emperor understood; he also knew that Zhao Jinzhong had no intention of marrying the Third Princess of the Northern Kingdom.

Therefore, he agreed to Zhao Jinzhong's request to escort Zhou Ruo to the Northern Kingdom.

The Third Princess of the Northern Kingdom still married the Second Prince of Daqing as his concubine.

On this day, An Chang and An Nan went to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to accompany Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo in packing their luggage for the trip to the Northern Kingdom.

As the group was chatting happily, the Seventh Princess arrived.

An Chang gave An Nan a wink. An Nan was about to pull Zhou Ruo to play in the mansion's garden when she heard Zhou Ruo say:

"Pretty sister, don't worry, after my brother and I come back next year, my brother will be able to marry you!"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Princess blushed instantly.

Zhao Jinzhong flicked Zhou Ruo's forehead with his index finger and said, "Marriage is a major event, and it is decided by the parents and the matchmaker."

"The princess's marriage is decided by the Emperor; how can you speak of it so casually?"

Zhou Ruo covered her forehead with both hands and said angrily:

"Brother, cherish this opportunity! Don't let the Seventh Princess marry someone else when you come back next year!"

"Pretty sister, don't worry."

When you go to the North, I will definitely keep a close eye on your brother and make sure he doesn't fall for any girl from there!

Zhao Jinzhong and the Seventh Princess's faces had long since turned as red as tomatoes.

An Chang and An Nan watched the two of them with a sense of harmony, secretly admiring Zhou Ruo for daring to say anything despite her young age.

After Zhou Ruo finished saying what she needed to say, she pulled An Nan and ran out of Wude Academy together. An Chang also tactfully withdrew.
