Her eyes shone brightly as she meticulously observed the poisoned person's symptoms and pulse, her focused expression seemingly capable of piercing through all secrets. After careful consideration, she began to peruse the mountain of medical books and ancient texts around her, her fingers moving swiftly and precisely across the pages, searching for any potentially useful clues. Time ticked by, and everyone around held their breath, watching her every move with bated breath. Finally, her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something crucial. She then picked up a pen and quickly wrote down a series of medicinal names and dosages on a piece of paper, along with detailed instructions on how to prepare the medicine and the steps for administration. Afterward, she personally cooked the medicine, carefully selecting each ingredient and strictly adhering to her written recipe. During the brewing process, she constantly adjusted the heat and stirring frequency to ensure the medicine's maximum efficacy. The entire room was filled with a rich, invigorating aroma of herbs. When the decoction was finally ready, she carefully poured it into a bowl and presented it to the poisoned person. Seeing the faces of those poisoned gradually recover after drinking the antidote, a relieved smile finally appeared on her previously tense face. Everyone who witnessed this praised her superb medical skills. During the treatment of the patients, they unexpectedly discovered that the mastermind behind it all was a remnant of a gang that had been defeated by the General of the Nation. They intended to use the plague to disrupt the capital and retaliate against the General's Mansion. Xue Ruanruan treated the people while simultaneously sending someone to inform her father of the truth. Finally, after a long and fierce battle, the General's Mansion's elite troops displayed unparalleled fighting power and unwavering will. Like an iron torrent, they swept through every corner, giving the remnants no chance to breathe. Shouts of battle and the clash of weapons mingled together, echoing through the sky. Blood stained the earth red, and the air was filled with a strong stench of blood. However, the soldiers of the General's Mansion did not retreat, but pressed forward bravely. In this thrilling siege, the remnants fought desperately, but ultimately could not withstand the powerful offensive of the General's Mansion. One by one, they fell in pools of blood, their former arrogance vanished. After the dust settled, Xue Ruanruan did not relax. She realized that although the capital was temporarily safe, similar threats might exist in the surrounding areas. Therefore, she asked her father if she could travel the world and teach methods of disease prevention and treatment. The General, though reluctant, understood his daughter's intentions and agreed to her request. Xue Ruanruan set off with several assistants. Along the way, they encountered many difficult and complicated illnesses, which Xue Ruanruan resolved one by one with her solid medical skills. Upon arriving at a small town, they found it threatened by a plague following a flood. Xue Ruanruan immediately began to treat the affected people, while also teaching the local doctors how to identify the characteristics of various epidemics and how to deal with them. One day, while traveling through the mountains, they encountered bandits. Xue Ruanruan remained calm and fearless, releasing a homemade smoke bomb. Taking advantage of the chaos, she and her assistants hid in the dense forest. Once the bandits dispersed, they continued their journey. Over several months, Xue Ruanruan traveled to many places, her reputation spreading far and wide. Many aspiring medical students came to her, and Xue Ruanruan began to take on apprentices and teach, passing on her medical skills and ethics, hoping to rid the world of plagues and evil deeds, and bring peace to the land. Finally, on that breathtaking battlefield, accompanied by a piercing scream, the last remaining rebel fell to the sharp sword of a brave and fearless soldier. In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence, only the lingering smoke and the bloodstains bearing witness to the fierce and tragic battle. The soldier who successfully slew the last rebel stood like a war god, his resolute face weary, but even more so, filled with the joy and pride of victory. The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Suddenly, cheers of victory erupted, echoing across the blood-stained land. The General's Mansion had successfully completed its mission, completely eradicating all remaining remnants and bringing peace and tranquility to the nation and its people. Xue Ruanruan, having successfully stopped the spread of the plague, became a revered physician in the capital, and the General's Mansion's fame spread even further. Xue Ruanruan stepped forward and calmly revealed the truth about the tampering of the dishes and the strategist's conspiracy. Upon hearing this, the guests accused the Regent of being treacherous and cunning. Seeing the situation turning against him, the Regent hastily left with his men. The General's Mansion had once again escaped danger, and Xue Ruanruan, with her superb medical skills, became the guardian star of the mansion. He intently stared at the pile of colorful, oddly shaped herbs and medicine bottles before him, his hands skillfully and precisely manipulating them. Drawing upon his profound medical knowledge accumulated over many years, he quickly selected the necessary herbs from the many and mixed them together in a specific ratio. As he stirred and mixed, a faint medicinal fragrance gradually filled the air. Soon, an antidote was successfully prepared. He then carefully picked up the container of the antidote, quickly walked to a well-ventilated area in the room, and gently sprinkled the antidote evenly there. He then quietly told his father and brothers the truth. When the Regent, believing his conspiracy had succeeded, made unreasonable demands, everyone in the General's Mansion showed no sign of anything amiss. The Regent was suspicious but could only give up. After traveling and lecturing for a long time, Xue Ruanruan's homesickness grew stronger. She bid farewell to her students and embarked on her journey home. Upon returning to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the entire household was filled with joy. Her father wept tears of joy, tightly embracing his beloved daughter. Her brothers were also overjoyed and busied themselves ordering the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. However, the peaceful days did not last long. One night, Xue Ruanruan was studying an old medical book in her room when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. It turned out that a group of assassins had infiltrated the mansion. Xue Ruanruan remained calm and quickly retrieved her self-developed powerful anesthetic powder. Using the familiar terrain, she stealthily approached the assassins. While they were distracted searching for valuables, she decisively threw out the powder. Instantly, the assassins collapsed, struck down. Guards from the General's Mansion arrived and captured the assassins. Under interrogation, they learned that a neighboring country, jealous of Xue Ruanruan's renowned medical skills, wanted to abduct her for their own use, threatening to destroy her if they failed. The General was furious and wrote a letter warning the neighboring country. After this incident, Xue Ruanruan decided to open a medical clinic in her mansion, recruiting more disciples to teach not only medicine but also self-defense techniques, in preparation for any eventuality. From then on, the General's Mansion became increasingly peaceful and prosperous, and Xue Ruanruan continued her medical practice, benefiting the local people. After seeing off the Regent, the General's Mansion was at peace. Looking at the night sky, Xue Ruanruan knew this was only temporary tranquility; she needed to be even more vigilant in the future to protect her family's safety.
