At this moment, Zhao Yucheng finally snapped out of his daze at the strange phenomenon of the silver needles shining.

"Haha... I'm glad Ruo'er likes it! I'm glad she likes it!"

Then he stood up and exchanged a glance with Ji Ping; both of them found the phenomenon just now unbelievable.

Zhou Ruo had been working non-stop for several days, and she couldn't eat or sleep well.

Now that everything has temporarily come to an end, she was suddenly overcome with drowsiness.

I stretched out my arms and yawned, tears of exhaustion welling up in my eyes.

Ji Ping felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing this, and went over to gently rub her chubby little face, saying with concern:

"Ruo'er, you must be exhausted these past few days?"

Zhou Ruo nodded and said, "Mother, I want to go back to sleep."

Ji Ping felt a pang of sadness and asked Si Qiao to take Zhou Ruo back to Lanxiang Courtyard to rest.

Seeing Zhou Ruo's exhausted appearance, Zhao Jinzhong felt guilty and didn't know how to repay her.

Zhou Ruo, who had reached the door, suddenly stopped and turned back to give a word of advice:

"Brother, remember to get a massage!"

Whenever Zhou Ruo enters "healer" mode, she resembles a little adult.

She can consider many details; her thinking is clear and meticulous.

It wasn't until Zhou Ruo reminded him that Zhao Jinzhong realized Doctor Yu hadn't come this morning.

"By the way, I haven't seen Doctor Yu this morning."

"Yes, it was my oversight," Zhao Yucheng explained. "The doctors at the military camp were too busy, so Doctor Yu went to help."

Having just recovered his legs, Zhao Jinzhong's sense of responsibility as a young general immediately came into play.

Upon hearing Zhao Yucheng mention the military camp, he immediately asked, "Father, what's going on at the military camp?"

"It's still unknown." A look of worry gradually appeared on Zhao Yucheng's face.

"For several days in a row, soldiers have had fevers and coughs, and their condition has not improved. Doctor Qin was too busy to handle it all, so he called Doctor Yu over."

Zhao Jinzhong recalled reading in military books about outbreaks of plague in military camps and asked with slight nervousness:

"Could it be a plague?"

Zhao Yucheng never considered the possibility of a plague. The military camp was always heavily guarded, and the management of food, clothing, and daily necessities was very meticulous.

Besides, there were no illnesses in the surrounding area, so where did the plague come from?

"It shouldn't be the plague. Let's wait for Doctor Yu to go and take a look, and then we'll talk about it later."

Zhou Ruo stood at the door, leaning against Si Qiao for support, listening to Zhao Yucheng and Zhao Jinzhong talk.

She heard them saying that someone had a high fever, or something about the plague.

She wanted to say that she needed to see a doctor, but her eyelids were already closed; she was too sleepy to keep them open.

When Siqiao saw this, she quickly carried her back to Lanxiang Courtyard to rest.

Zhou Ru slept soundly for a long time.

I slept soundly from that time until the next day, without waking up in between.

Siqiao thought that if she rested for an hour, she should wake up in two hours at most.

So I prepared dinner early and waited for her to wake up.

As a result, Zhou Ruo didn't wake up until the next morning, when the sun was high in the sky.

Siqiao panicked a little, and Jiping also came over to check on her from time to time.

After making several trips without waking the child, she simply sat and waited in Zhou Ruo's room.

Siqiao asked Wang Mama in a low voice, "Will something have happened to Miss?"

Having seen much, Granny Wang calmly said, "Miss doesn't have a fever, and her breathing is very even. She's probably just tired."

"Whose child could be this tired? They've been sleeping for almost a whole day and night."

Siqiao lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing you, Madam."

"Granny, if Ruo'er still hasn't woken up in another hour, go and tell the general to ask a doctor to come and take a look."

Ji Ping also felt that Zhou Ruo was acting very strangely and began to worry.

Zhao Jinzhong, having just recovered his legs, was very excited and only slept for two hours before waking up.

After resting, he discovered that he could move around on his own, holding onto the wheelchair, without anyone's help.

That morning, he was looking forward to Zhou Ruo coming early to give him acupuncture to help him recover, but it was almost noon and no one had come yet.

"Wu Jia, let's go to Lanxiang Courtyard."

Just as they were about to set off, Zhao Jinzhong said to Wu Jia, "Take the leftover green dates with you, and go pick a few oranges from the yard."

Wu Jia obeyed the order and, after making preparations, pushed Zhao Jinzhong's wheelchair to Lanxiang Courtyard.

Zhao Jinzhong had not set foot in Lanxiang Courtyard for two years.

When he entered Lanxiang Courtyard, the servants there were all startled.

Before Zhao Jinzhong was injured, he would come to Lanxiang Courtyard almost every day to pay his respects to Ji Ping.

Since he lost the ability to move his legs, some of the servants who had long served in Lanxiang Courtyard had not seen Zhao Jinzhong for a long time.

The young general who appeared at Lanxiang Courtyard at this moment was full of vigor. Although he was in a wheelchair, his general's spirit and demeanor were already evident on his face.

Along the way, the servants greeted him and told him that the madam was in the young lady's room.

Wu Jia pushed Zhao Jinzhong straight to Zhou Ruo's room.

As the wheelchair approached the door, Zhao Jinzhong gestured for it to stop.

Then, with Wu Jia's help, he stood up and slowly walked into Zhou Ruo's room, holding onto the door frame.

The servants in the courtyard heard yesterday that the young general's legs had recovered.

But seeing him walk on the ground with their own eyes, the servants felt as if they had never been in another world, and were amazed.

"Zhong'er? What brings you here?"

Ji Ping was taken aback when she saw her son, who hadn't appeared at Lanxiang Courtyard for two years.

Then she realized that her son was no longer the paralyzed, bedridden, and violent teenager he once was.

Now that he has gradually recovered, we can see his energetic appearance from back then again.

But one thing has changed: the son's once arrogant edge seems to have been smoothed out.

Nowadays, he is more composed and gentle.

His eyes radiated a love for the world and gratitude for the people in front of him, a feeling of being reborn.

"Mother, what's wrong with Ruoruo?"

As soon as Zhao Jinzhong entered the room, he saw Zhou Ru lying motionless on the bed.

The sun was already high in the sky, and he wondered why his sister had been sleeping for so long. A sense of worry flashed through his mind.

"Ruo'er has been asleep for almost a day and a night and hasn't woken up yet."

Ji Ping sighed softly and then said, "Siqiao has already gone to fetch a doctor. We'll have the doctor take a look at her later."

Doctor Yu was in the military camp, and the imperial physicians were also being transferred to the military camp one after another. Asking for a physician from the palace would take too long.

Ji Ping instructed Si Qiao to find a good doctor who lived nearby in the capital to come and take a look.

Soon after, the doctor arrived and carefully examined Zhou Ruo. He found that her pulse was normal and there was nothing seriously wrong.

"Madam, Miss is fine, just a little anemic and weak, which is why she slept for so long."

"Anemia?" Ji Ping and Zhao Jinzhong asked almost simultaneously.

Fearing he hadn't explained clearly, the doctor added, "It's just mild anemia, not serious. A little nutrition and plenty of rest will help you recover."

Siqiao was the one who took care of Zhou Ruo the most. She thought for a moment and then said, as if she had made a discovery:

"No wonder. Miss has been in the manor for almost a month, and I don't think I've ever seen her eat a single meal."
