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

Zhou Ruo quickly made way for Zhao Jinzhong's bedside by passing through the passage cleared by the servants.

She was shocked when she saw Zhao Jinzhong's condition.

The black energy on his legs seemed to have grown mouths, tearing at Zhao Jinzhong's leg meridians with a mouthful of fangs.

What vicious witchcraft! It's a deadly act!

She then looked at the pomelo branches and leaves she had left in Zhao Jinzhong's tent; they were all withered.

Dr. Yu was giving Zhao Jinzhong acupuncture, and seeing that no one was stopping Zhou Ruo, he said anxiously:

"Miss, please don't come any closer, please step back!"

Zhao Jinzhong's face was flushed red, the veins on his forehead bulged as if they were about to burst, and his eyes were filled with pain.

He roared like a madman, making Doctor Yu's hands tremble as he inserted the needles.

Two servants held his hands down to prevent him from pulling out the needle and hurting himself.

Zhou Ruo looked at Doctor Yu's acupuncture technique and gently shook her head.

This kind of treatment is completely ineffective, no wonder my brother hasn't recovered.

This condition is difficult to treat with conventional medical methods.

Zhou Ruo grew anxious as Zhao Jinzhong cried out in pain.

Taking advantage of a moment when Doctor Yu wasn't paying attention, she took a needle from his needle bag and quickly inserted it into the acupoint on Zhao Jinzhong's leg.

"Zhou Ruo! What are you doing?!" Doctor Yu exclaimed in shock.

"This is a matter of life and death; how can you treat it so lightly!"

Doctor Yu is going crazy; at this critical moment, a child has come to make things worse for him.

"My brother has bugs on his leg. I'll kill them so they won't bite him."

Zhou Ruo casually pointed to the acupuncture points where she was getting needles, reminding Doctor Yu to take a closer look.

Doctor Yu looked in the direction Zhou Ruo pointed, and there it was—the very spot where he was going to insert his needle.

How did this child manage to accidentally pierce it?

If Zhou Ruo were a doctor, he would definitely praise her exquisite acupuncture skills, but...

Another time, without warning, Doctor Yu inserted a needle into the corresponding acupoint on Zhao Jinzhong's other leg.

Doctor Yu was so frightened and angry that he almost jumped up in panic.

He was about to scold Zhou Ruo again when he saw her say with a pained expression:

"My brother also has bugs on his other leg."

Dr. Yu closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

He took a deep breath, stared wide-eyed at the location of Zhou Ruo's other needle, and was startled again.

Is the location really just a coincidence?

Doctor Yu quickly rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had misread it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jinzhong's painful screams gradually subsided, and his roars turned into heavy panting.

The trembling in her legs gradually stopped, and the strength with which she struggled with her hands also slowly diminished.

"Wow! Brother seems to be in less pain now. Dr. Yu's needles are amazing!"

Zhou Ruo praised Doctor Yu, and everyone present agreed that it was Doctor Yu's acupuncture technique that had worked.

Only Zhou Ruo knew in her heart that this was not the effect of acupuncture at all.

She used all of her spiritual power, more than ten percent, to temporarily freeze the black energy through silver needles.

When Ji Ping and the general arrived, Zhao Jinzhong had already calmed down.

At the same time, Zhou Ruo noticed that her spiritual power had increased again.

"Mother!" Zhou Ruo ran up and threw herself into Ji Ping's arms.

Ji Ping and the others from Lanxiang Courtyard were stunned. Wasn't Zhou Ruo in Lanxiang Courtyard this week? When did he come to Wude Courtyard?

"Father, Mother, Doctor Yu is so amazing! My brother isn't in so much pain anymore." Zhou Ru took the initiative to praise Doctor Yu.

Zhao Yucheng and Ji Ping went forward to check on their son's condition. After listening to Doctor Yu's explanation for a while, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, Madam, the young general's old illness has relapsed, and this time it has flared up more suddenly, so the symptoms are more severe than before."

Ji Ping felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened. Zhao Yucheng put his arm around her and comforted her, "It's alright now."

"General, Madam, I will prescribe some medicine for the young general. He can take the medicine to consolidate his health."

"Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Yu." Zhao Yucheng bowed to Doctor Yu to express his gratitude.

Ji Ping sat down in front of Zhao Jinzhong's bed, looking at her son with heartache, his face still showing signs of pain.

Zhou Ruo followed Doctor Yu closely, wanting to see what medicine he prescribed.

But she never imagined that she wouldn't recognize a single word in this world.

She leaned over the table where Doctor Yu was writing prescriptions, looking at them from all angles, but every stroke of the pen seemed irrelevant to her.

"Miss, you haven't learned to read yet, have you? You're looking so intently, can you recognize the characters?"

Doctor Yu lowered his head and wrote the prescription carefully, talking to Zhou Ruo without looking up.

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart and questioned it greatly.

Zhou Ruo could tell from Doctor Yu's tone that he was mocking her.

Hmph! Zhou Ruo sat down on the stool, crossed her arms, turned her face away, and got angry.

Doctor Yu looked up at her and smiled. The young lady looked quite cute when she was angry.

What he didn't know was that his unintentional remark had made Zhou Ru hold a grudge for quite some time.

Zhou Ruo wanted to know which medicines were used in the prescription, but she couldn't read the words and didn't want to ask Doctor Yu again.

She had intended to go with the servant who was dispensing the medicine to take a look, and once she saw the medicinal herbs, she would know what they were for.

But as soon as she reached the front of the main house, she saw Aunt Song step into the gate of Wude Courtyard.

"Jinzhong! How are you? Your aunt was so worried!"

Before Aunt Song even entered the main room, her voice had already reached inside.

Zhou Ruo quickly retreated to Zhao Jinzhong's bedside and stood with Zhao Yucheng and Ji Ping.

As Aunt Song approached the bedside, she was still saying, "Jinzhong, I heard you've fallen ill again, but..."

When she finally saw Zhao Jinzhong sleeping soundly on the bed, she couldn't even finish a sentence, "My heart aches for him... so much..."

Zhao Jinzhong's condition seemed to have exceeded her expectations; her pupils were filled with shock, which Zhou Ruo noticed.

Zhou Ruo not only saw Song Yiniang's expression clearly, but also noticed that the black aura surrounding the jade pendant at her waist had changed.

It was as if a black snake emerged from the dark mist, coiled around Aunt Song's chest, and finally entered her heart.

What a menacing aura! Zhou Ruo sensed that if her brother had another attack, something terrible would likely happen.

"No...didn't you say...Jinzhong is having an attack?" Aunt Song forced a smile and asked Zhao Yucheng and Ji Ping.

"Fortunately, Doctor Yu intervened in time, and Zhong'er is alright now," Zhao Yucheng said with lingering fear.

"It's good that it's alright, it's good that it's alright..." Aunt Song gritted her teeth, her eyes dark and unfathomable.

Zhou Ruo secretly confirmed that the black aura on her brother's legs was the black aura emanating from the jade pendant on Aunt Song's body.

She needed to quickly think of a way to suppress this increasingly ferocious dark energy.

At the same time, we need to find a way to truly eliminate this black stuff.

Cock-a-doodle-doo! The sound of a rooster crowing came from outside.

"That cry, could it be Zhong'er's valiant cavalry general?" Ji Ping asked.

Granny He stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to Madam, it is indeed General Xiaoji. However, it usually doesn't crow at this time."

"Yes! It's been a long time since we've heard the horn of the Valiant Cavalry General."

Zhao Yucheng sighed deeply, recalling the happy days his son spent with the valiant general.
