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

He wanted to urge Zhou Ruo to hurry up, but he didn't dare to disturb her easily.

After a while, Zhou Ruo finally spoke, "It's done."

An Chang immediately leaned closer and whispered, "My grandmother is cured?"

Zhou Ruo shook her head and carefully removed the silver needles from the Empress Dowager's body and put them away.

"Prince An, carry me down." Zhou Ruo's face was a little pale.

Seeing her condition, An quickly carried her off the bed.

"I want to eat fruit." Zhou Ruo's voice was weak and listless, and she looked somewhat frail.

An Chang looked around the room but didn't see any fruit.

The Dowager Consort has been ill for so long, yet the servants don't even prepare fruit for her in her room.

An Nan, who had been standing silently to the side, thought for a moment, then jogged into the other side of the Empress Dowager's room.

A moment later, she took out two apples and handed them to Zhou Ruo.

An Chang looked in the direction An Nan came out, and then remembered that behind the screen was the shrine where her grandmother worshipped.

Although the Empress Dowager was ill, the servants would light incense and make offerings to the Buddha on the altar every day, and the fruit would be changed daily.

An Chang suddenly realized that he might not really understand his younger sister. Only today did he see such a heartwarming side of An Nan.

His gaze towards An Nan softened considerably.

Zhou Ruo quickly finished the two fruits before she could catch her breath and her energy gradually returned.

She stepped out of the room and took Zhao Jinzhong's hand: "Brother, let's go."

An Chang escorted the brother and sister to the gate of the mansion before daring to ask Zhou Ruo a question.

"Ruoruo, what did you mean just now? Did you mean my grandmother is beyond cure?"

"Grandma An can wake up, but she wasn't cured." Zhou Ruo's mood was clearly not good when she spoke.

She was not in a good mood when she came out of the Empress Dowager's room.

She didn't say a word as they walked from the courtyard to the gate of the mansion, and the little hand she held, Zhao Jinzhong's, was still a bit cold.

Zhao Jinzhong sensed something was amiss. He squatted down in front of Zhou Ruo and asked, "Is the Dowager Consort's illness difficult to treat?"

Zhou Ruo nodded. "Brother, I can't see what that thing inside Grandmother An's body is."

Hearing this, An Chang became even more anxious. "What do you mean? What else is inside my grandmother's body?"

"I don't know." Zhou Ruo lowered her head and shook her head. "Grandmother An will have another attack. I'll come and treat her then."

An Chang didn't understand Zhou Ruo's meaning and was extremely anxious.

Just as he was about to ask Zhou Ruo a question, the entire Prince An's mansion suddenly became agitated.

"The Imperial Concubine is awake! The Imperial Concubine has woken up!"

The maids and servants ran around spreading the news, and everyone who heard it was thrilled. The courtyard was instantly filled with noise.

Princess Yu received the news quickly in her own courtyard and rushed to the Empress Dowager's courtyard.

Two servants ran out of the mansion gate to report to Prince An.

"An Chang, go back and check on the Dowager Consort first. Don't worry, Ruoruo will do her best to treat her," Zhao Jinzhong comforted An Chang.

"Yes!" Zhou Ruo seemed encouraged. "Young Master An, I will find a way to cure Grandmother An!"

When An Chang walked back to the door of the Dowager Consort's room, he heard the Dowager Consort's voice.

The young man was instantly moved to tears; An Chang hadn't heard his grandmother's voice for a very, very long time.

"Grandmother!" An Chang ran into the room with tears in her eyes and knelt down in front of the Dowager Consort's bed.

"Chang'er, good child, good child..." The Empress Dowager held An Chang's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

The Dowager Princess slowly glanced around, then asked, "Was a child present while I was unconscious?"

Granny Li glanced at the people beside her, as if she remembered something: "Miss An Nan, Miss was just here."

The Dowager Princess glanced at An Nan, shook her head, and said, "It's not Nan'er, it's a girl about the same age as Nan'er."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yu turned to look at An Chang.

An Chang met his mother's gaze, and nodded to Princess Yu. Princess Yu suddenly understood, yet was filled with doubt.

She understood that the child the Dowager Consort was referring to was Zhou Ruo, but she wondered when An Chang had brought her into the mansion.

When did the Empress Dowager receive treatment, and how was it done in a way that avoided Li Mama?

Just as Zhou Ruo finished giving the Empress Dowager acupuncture and was about to remove the needles, the Empress Dowager's consciousness returned to its place, and in her dazed state, she saw an immortal.

The immortal told her that her lifespan was not yet over, and that only one child could cure her illness—the child of General Zhao.

The immortal also instructed the Dowager: "After this child heals you, you must help her and protect her well."

Recalling the immortal's instructions, the Dowager Consort suddenly said, "It's the General's Mansion, a girl from the General's Mansion."

An Chang was stunned. He didn't understand how his grandmother knew that Zhou Ruo had come.

Grandmother had never met Zhou Ruo and did not know her, so how could she say that she was a girl from the General's Mansion?

Granny Li: "Oh! Yes, yes, Your Highness, the young general just came by with his sister. They just left, and you woke up."

After thinking it over carefully, Granny Li belatedly realized that something was wrong.

She was puzzled when Zhao Jinzhong took the initiative to come out of his room and chat with her.

The young general is usually a man of few words, so why did he suddenly talk to her for so long?

So it was the young general who deliberately lured her away, and the little girl was treating the Empress Dowager inside the house?

Thinking of this, Granny Li quickly dismissed her guess.

That's impossible. How could such a small child cure the Empress Dowager's illness? Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly wake up?

The old woman couldn't understand it.

"Gone?" The Empress Dowager seemed somewhat disappointed.

Princess Yu said, "Mother, please rest first. If you want to see that child, I will personally go and fetch her for you to see another day."

The Dowager quickly waved her hand, "No, I can't let you go to fetch her, I must go myself!"

Princess Consort Yu: "Mother, you've just woken up. It's most important for you to recover properly first."

"Tonight, tonight! Take me there in a carriage! I want to see my savior in person!"

The Empress Dowager's mind was filled with the immortal's instructions to protect Zhou Ruo, and she didn't want to delay for even a moment.

Princess Yu was worried that the Dowager Consort had just woken up and might have another mishap if she went out immediately, and then it would be too late to regret it.

She winked at An Chang.

Upon receiving her mother's instructions, An Chang immediately told the Dowager Empress, "Grandmother, Jinzhong has taken his younger sister on a long trip."

"Oh? Going on a long trip? When will you be back?" The Dowager Consort was somewhat disappointed.

An Chang's reason worked, and he continued:

"Yes, that's why they were in such a hurry to leave. I don't know when they'll be back, but I'll let you know as soon as they get back."

"Oh... alright then, I'll wait for her to return at the manor."

Princess Yu was relieved to see that the Dowager Consort Yu was taking care of herself with peace of mind.

Prince An was kept in the palace by the emperor to discuss matters. When he came out of the palace gate, he saw two servants from his own household waiting for him.

When he heard from the servant that the Empress Dowager had woken up, he abandoned the carriage and rode back to the mansion on horseback.
