An Chang did not go in to see his grandmother, but instead came to the outside of Prince An's study.

An Chang hesitated outside the door, overhearing her father talking with a servant in the study.

He was hesitating whether to leave when he heard what the people inside were saying.

Steward: "Your Highness, many people in Ningxi County have suffered this year. The county magistrate has come to inquire whether the Prince's Palace can provide some relief this year?"

Your Highness: "These things have always been arranged by the old lady herself. Let's continue as before!"

Several private schools built with money donated by the old lady were also burned down...

I hereby command that everything shall remain unchanged for all those whom the old lady has helped.

From this day forward, all funds will be drawn from the Prince's public account!

The housekeeper sighed, "The old lady has spent most of her life helping others with compassion. I believe a benefactor will surely appear and cure her!"

When the butler came out of the study, he saw An Chang waiting outside the door.

"Your Highness, are you looking for the Prince?" the steward asked politely as he stepped forward.

"Hmm," An Chang simply responded softly.

"Is that Consort An outside the door?" Prince An's voice came from the study.

The butler bowed to An Chang and then turned to leave.

An Chang took a deep breath and stepped into the study.

"Father," An Chang greeted his father.

Prince An was looking down at his letter behind his desk when An Chang came in and he looked up at him.

"What's wrong, Anchang? Did you do your homework diligently today? I'll be checking it in a few days."

Prince An's tone was flat, without much emotion.

"Father, I have been diligently working on my studies," An Chang replied in a tight voice.

"Hmm," Prince An responded, and then fell silent.

The study was quiet for a moment. Prince An noticed something was wrong and looked up at An Chang, who looked hesitant.

"What's wrong? Did something happen outside? Or did you get into trouble?" Prince An's expression turned serious.

"I didn't cause any trouble," An Chang said hastily, his voice rising slightly with his breath.

But when he thought about what he was going to say next, An Chang lowered his voice.

"I just want to ask about Grandma's illness. Is there a good doctor who can cure her?"

When Prince An heard that his son was concerned about his grandmother's condition, his hardened heart softened, and his tone became more apologetic.

"I obtained some elixirs from the Imperial Preceptor. Give them to your grandmother first and see how they work."

An Chang swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and finally mustered the courage to ask:

"Father, I recently met a very skilled doctor. Could we ask her to examine Grandmother?"

After hearing An Chang's words, Prince An seemed to choke on his own words. He frowned and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"A very skilled doctor? An Chang, what kind of folk healer have you met this time?"

That sorcerer you brought back last time almost killed your grandmother! Don't you think that's enough trouble?

An Chang was touched on a sore spot by his father, and he immediately knelt down and cried, "Father, it was my negligence last time."

But this doctor is different, she is...

"Enough!" Prince An suddenly stood up from his chair in a fit of rage.

"You're going out there and making friends with all sorts of shady characters. I think you'd better stay home and behave yourself!"

"Father!" An Chang shed tears of grievance, but was powerless to refute her father's opinion, so she could only leave dejectedly.

He was worried about his grandmother's condition and always hoped that he could do something for her.

More than half a year ago, before he and his mother, Princess Yu, returned to their hometown to visit relatives, he met a sorcerer in the streets.

The sorcerer claimed he could cure all diseases, and wouldn't charge money if he couldn't cure them.

An Chang believed it and thought he would have the sorcerer try it on his grandmother, since if it didn't work, he wouldn't have to spend any money.

The sorcerer followed An Chang into the palace. At the time, the Prince of An was not in the palace, and Princess Yu was the most fond of An Chang.

Seeing his filial piety, they naturally didn't stop him.

When the sorcerer saw Madam An, he said she was possessed by an evil spirit.

He practiced swordplay in the old lady's room and burned some talismans.

Finally, a bowl of talisman water was given to the old lady to drink.

That night, the old lady suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and An Chang went to the sorcerer to demand an explanation.

Upon hearing that the old lady's condition had worsened, the sorcerer vanished without a trace.

When Prince An returned to his residence and heard about this, he was furious, saying that An Chang was being too absurd and treating the old lady's life as a joke.

Princess Yu was also severely reprimanded by Prince An, who said she spoiled her son too much and lost her temper.

Princess Yu was scolded by Prince An and felt upset.

Furthermore, due to his own negligence, An Chang was misled into believing the sorcerer, almost harming the old lady.

Princess Yu was feeling down, so she took An Chang and went to visit her family in her hometown to clear her head.

This matter also became a source of anxiety for An Chang.

Since then, An Changfan has been cautious in his dealings with any doctors he encounters in the community.

I'd rather not believe it than bring it back to the mansion casually.

So when An Chang heard Zhao Jinzhong say at the general's mansion that Zhou Ruo had cured his legs, he couldn't believe it.

When he saw Zhou Ruo treating the servants with acupuncture, he didn't dare to seriously consider whether Zhou Ruo really knew medicine.

An Chang wondered whether Zhou Ruo was truly skilled at healing, or if the servants were just playing house with her.

To this day, he witnessed Zhou Ruo cure Ling Yu's willow disease and save Ling Yu's life at Jumanlou.

Only then did he begin to re-examine Zhou Ruo and seriously consider the fact that Zhou Ruo could cure diseases.

After thinking it over, An Chang had an idea. He hoped that Zhou Ruo could come to the Prince's Mansion to treat his grandmother.

However, having learned from past mistakes, he dared not easily mention the matter to his father.

After much hesitation, he finally dared to enter the study and talk with Prince An today.

As he expected, Prince An was furious and, without even letting him finish speaking, confined him to his quarters...

"Achoo!" Zhou Ruo was sitting in Ji Ping's room in the Lanxiang Courtyard of the General's Mansion when her nose became slightly itchy and she sneezed.

Ji Ping was overjoyed to be pregnant and began sewing children's clothes herself very early on.

She sat at the table with needle and thread, carefully sewing, facing Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo was holding a book and reading it carefully.

A sudden sneeze startled Ji Ping, and she jerked so hard that she pricked her finger.

When Zhou Ruo saw Ji Ping biting her finger and sucking on it, the two smiled as they looked at each other.

"It seems someone misses our Ruo'er. Who could it be? Could it be a soldier in the army camp?"

Ji Ping teased Zhou Ruo.

"Hehe, Mother, the soldiers are so kind! They pick so much fruit for me every day!"

Zhou Ruo deeply missed her days in the military camp.

But what I miss even more is being able to heal so many soldiers, restoring their spiritual power to 50%.

Soldiers fight on the battlefield to protect the people of the country, and their merits are greater than those of ordinary people.

Therefore, when Zhou Ruo healed about thirty soldiers, his spiritual power would be restored by one-third.

This is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

But now that she's left the military camp, where can she find so many people to treat her illnesses?

I saved Ling Yu's life today, but my spiritual power didn't increase at all.

Zhou Ruo was now in an even greater predicament.
