When Prince An rushed to the Empress Dowager's room, he heard her say "my savior".

"Mother, you're awake." Prince An entered the room, and the concubines followed him in.

When the Dowager Princess saw her son arrive, she was overjoyed. "Jingding is here!" she exclaimed, reaching out to take Prince An's hand.

Prince An's long-standing worry about his mother's condition was finally put to rest.

The Dowager Princess said to Prince An, "Jingding, we are so grateful to the young miracle doctor this time; we must thank him properly!"

"A little miracle doctor?" Prince An glanced at Princess Yu, completely unaware. "What miracle doctor?"

After speaking, Prince An subconsciously looked at An Chang. An Chang was met with his father's stern gaze and immediately shrank behind Princess Yu.

Princess Yu patted An Chang's hand, which was hanging down behind her, and replied to Prince An:

"Your Highness, Mother was able to wake up this time thanks to General Zhao's daughter; it was she who cured her."

"Zhao Yucheng? Daughter?" Prince An thought rapidly, then suddenly roared at An Chang:

"An Chang! It's you again, isn't it? What have you done to your grandmother this time?! How could a child possibly cure an illness?"

Prince An felt that his son was being incredibly reckless, and his sudden outburst of anger startled everyone in the room.

An Chang hid behind Princess Yu, shivering several times, and tightly gripped Princess Yu's sleeve.

"Jingding!" The Dowager Consort didn't understand why Prince An was so angry and was taking it out on his grandson.

"If Chang'er hadn't brought the little miracle doctor back this time, I probably would never have woken up in my life."

"Mother, you don't know this, but last time he brought back a charlatan, causing you to vomit and have diarrhea. It was truly absurd!"

This charlatan, King Kan'an, is not going to get through.

"Chang'er was just worried about me. The child didn't mean any harm. Now that I'm awake, aren't I?"

As the Dowager Consort spoke, she turned her head and saw An Chang, who looked terrified, behind Princess Yu. Her heart tightened, and she said:

"Chang'er, come to Grandma. Chang'er is a good child. This time you brought back the miracle doctor to save Grandma, didn't you?"

The Empress Dowager's words were like a warm breeze, soothing An Chang's worries and regrets over the past year, as well as the grievances of being scolded by her father.

An Chang couldn't bear the emotional impact and burst into tears, burying her face in the Empress Dowager's arms.

The Dowager felt sorry for An Chang and said to Prince An, "Don't be too harsh on the child. He's only twelve years old, and he's already done very well."

Prince An was still angry, but seeing his mother finally wake up and protect An Chang so well.

He suppressed his anger, put on a calm expression, and said to An Chang:

"This time, considering that your grandmother has woken up safely, I will temporarily waive the charge against you for taking the liberty of bringing a doctor into the mansion."

Another day, you'll come with me to the General's Mansion in person!

Prince An offered a way out, and the Dowager Princess patted An Chang on the back, reminding him to quickly reply to his father.

An Chang wiped away her tears and choked out, "Yes, Father."

Zhao Jinzhong led Zhou Ruo toward the general's mansion, and Zhou Ruo spoke very little along the way.

Halfway there, Zhou Ruo suddenly stopped, and the voice in her head rang again.

"Spiritual power has recovered to 56%."

Zhou Ruo looked at Zhao Jinzhong in surprise and said, "Brother, even though I didn't cure Grandmother An, my spiritual power increased by three points."

"Oh?" Zhao Jinzhong was also pleasantly surprised.

Zhou Ruo: "Grandmother An was a person of great merit."

Zhao Jinzhong was quite surprised that Zhou Ruo could make such a discovery at such a young age.

He told Zhou Ruo, "The reason why the Empress Dowager was able to become an Empress Dowager must be because her ancestors were people who had performed great deeds."

As far back as I can remember, I've heard that the Dowager Princess often helped the poor and needy, and did many great good deeds.

At this point, Zhao Jinzhong realized that the Prince An's Mansion sending supplies to Xiaoyang Village was probably also at the behest of the Dowager Consort.

Such a concubine must have accumulated profound merits.

"I see..." Zhou Ruoruo said thoughtfully, "Brother, I must cure Grandma An!"

If we heal Grandmother An, her spiritual power will surely increase greatly.

But what exactly is inside the Dowager's body? Why does it feel so similar to that strange feeling in Little Sheep Village?

If Zhou Ruo had enough spiritual energy, he would definitely be able to see through those strange things at a glance.

But now, she herself doesn't know how much spiritual power she needs to recover before she can see those symptoms clearly.

"Why do you also call the Dowager Consort 'Grandmother'?" Zhao Jinzhong laughed at Zhou Ruo's affectionate way of calling her "Grandmother," finding her quite adorable.

"Hmm? I don't know either..." Zhou Ruo scratched her head, smiling a little embarrassedly.

"When I saw her, I felt she looked like my grandmother."

Zhao Jinzhong: "The Empress Dowager is of noble status. Next time we see her, let's still address her as 'Empress Dowager'."

Zhou Ruo looked down at her own footsteps and casually replied with an "Oh".

It is now late afternoon, and the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually decreasing.

As Zhao Jinzhong walked across the main street, he saw Ling Yu at a corner.

He pulled Zhou Ruo aside and watched her for a moment.

Ling Yu was once again completely drunk and unconscious, and was carried away by the servants.

That day, one of the waiters at Jumanlou seemed to have seen Zhao Jinzhong, so he told his companion to quickly change course and slip into an alley.

Zhao Jinzhong clenched his fists and muttered, "They're really courting death!"

When the brother and sister returned to the general's mansion, they saw Siqiao waiting for them in front of the gate.

Siqiao: "Young General, Miss, you're finally back! Madam is waiting for you and has asked me to wait here."

Zhao Jinzhong: "Mother, is there something important?"

Siqiao: "This servant does not know, but when I came out, I heard that the Dowager Princess of Prince An's residence had woken up. I wonder if it is related to this matter."

Zhao Jinzhong glanced at Zhou Ruo and remarked, "This sound really does travel faster than our legs!"

"Siqiao, you know that Grandmother An has woken up?" Zhou Ruo was very happy.

Although the Dowager Consort had not fully recovered, Siqiao knew about it as soon as she woke up. Zhou Ruo thought the Dowager Consort was really amazing.

She was led by Zhao Jinzhong and skipped and hopped into the general's mansion.

Siqiao stood there, stunned, watching Zhou Ruo's retreating figure as she entered the mansion. For a moment, she didn't react. "Grandmother...?"

"Mother—Mother!" As soon as Zhou Ruo stepped into the courtyard of Lanxiang Courtyard, she ran and called out all the way to Ji Ping's room.

She looked like a petite woman with the soles of her feet touching the ground, and Zhao Jinzhong strode after her.

"Mother, we're back!" Zhou Ruo rushed into Ji Ping's arms as soon as she entered the main room.

With her soft body and coquettish tone, Ji Ping felt a warmth in her heart. She hugged her and pinched her little face.

Only after Zhao Jinzhong entered the house did Ji Ping ask, "Where did you come from?"

Zhao Jinzhong did not tell Ji Ping about Zhou Ruo's medical practice in the city these past few days.

Although she didn't say it, Ji Ping heard the servants mention it a few times.

She had intervened once when Zhou Ruo was treating the servants in the mansion.

Later, when she learned that Zhou Ruo had her reasons, she became more understanding of her.

In addition, she saved many soldiers and Zhao Yucheng in the military camp. Ji Ping thought that perhaps Zhou Ruo had her own mission.

From the moment she realized this, she stopped interfering too much with Zhou Ru's medical practice.

As long as Zhao Jinzhong stays with Zhou Ruo and protects her, Ji Ping will feel more at ease.
