Then, with Xiao Youran's strong support, Doctor Gu reopened his family's long-closed pharmacy.

Don't ask why he has a pharmacy that has been closed for a long time.

It's all a story of hardship and tears.

That's because he was originally a royal physician in the palace. He couldn't stand the infighting among the concubines in the palace. Finally, when a concubine forced him to secretly harm the unborn children of another concubine, he resigned in anger and left the palace.

Furthermore, thanks to the kindness he showed when he treated the princess in his youth, he received the princess's protection and was thus spared from the palace concubine's wrath.

Having lost his source of income and feeling embarrassed to take away the job of the princess's physician, he volunteered to open a pharmacy in the south of the city.

Who knew that after only three days of opening, someone was poisoned to death in the shop, and then... it went out of business!

Fortunately, he bought the shop, otherwise... after it was labeled a haunted house, wouldn't the owner have made him pay compensation?

That's why he angrily returned to his hometown, Gu Village, in Sanyang Village... Sigh, what happened after he met Wen was even more unspeakable!

Strangely enough, the pharmacy, which had been dormant for three years, reopened and business was exceptionally good. They even hired three pharmacy assistants! The only problem was that there were too few doctors on duty, and he couldn't find any new ones for the time being. He even wished he could bring Xiao Youran to the pharmacy to work as a doctor. Unfortunately, Xiao Youran was now not only a county princess but also the goddaughter of the eldest princess, so he dared not order her around recklessly.

Therefore, considering that Doctor Gu often had to give acupuncture to Yang's husband, Yun Chengliang, Su decided to leave Yang's family of five in the capital.

Xiao Youran would occasionally visit Yun Chengliang and try the needles on him.

However, after she learned acupuncture using the system, she began to properly administer acupuncture to him.

So the day before she left the capital, she went to give him a final round of the nine-week acupuncture treatment, and instructed Yang to give him a new piece of wild ginseng to keep him alive. Then she left the courtyard where Yang and the others lived with unsteady steps.

She had only taken a few steps out of the courtyard when she heard shouts behind her.

It was Yun Qiao'er, who ran towards her shouting, "Princess! Princess! My father has woken up!"

Xiao Youran stopped and walked back, also pleasantly surprised, "She really woke up?!"

"Yes, Princess!" Yun Qiao'er exclaimed, tears streaming down her face. "My mother was overjoyed and sent me out to find you!"

As Xiao Youran walked, she said, "Go, go to Shanrentang and call Doctor Gu back!"

Qiao'er nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay!"

She returned to the small house, and as soon as she entered, Yang hugged her tightly, crying uncontrollably, "Thank you, young lady! Thank you, young lady!"

Xiao You Ran: ……

Yang quickly realized she had lost her composure and hurriedly released her, apologizing, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I was out of line."

Xiao Youran patted Yang's hand, walked to the bedside, and sure enough, saw that Yun Chengliang, who was so thin he was practically skin and bones, had opened his eyes, which were also filled with tears.

She checked his pulse. "Uncle Yun, you had blood stasis in your brain, but it has finally dissipated. You should be fine, but because you've been lying down for so long, you need to recover slowly."

Yun Chengliang tried to sit up, but Xiao Youran pressed him down. "Aunt Yang, cook some thin porridge first, let him drink it and slowly recover his strength. He can have ginseng soup tomorrow. Don't rush it."

Yang nodded frantically, wiping away her tears, "Yes."

Yun Chengliang had already heard Yang's account of the whole story, and he was deeply grateful to the young county princess.

Before long, Doctor Gu rushed over and saw that Yun Chengliang had indeed opened his eyes and was clear-headed. He exclaimed that it was a miracle.

Then he asked very sincerely, "Little Youran, could you share your nine-week acupuncture technique?"

Xiao Youran didn't hold back and started gesturing on Yun Chengliang's head, "Shangxing, Wuchu, Qucha, Meichong..."

As Doctor Gu took notes, he nodded and asked a few more questions in detail. Finally, he summarized, "The so-called nine cycles means that these nine acupuncture points are trembled nine times, and then the nine times return to one?"

Xiao Youran nodded, "Yes, yes, Master, you are a promising student."

Yang, who was holding the medicine, said: ...

No, Dr. Gu, you are the master?

The master and apprentice nodded one last time to the Yang couple, and then left while still discussing things.

Yun Chengliang asked hesitantly, "Wife, Doctor Gu... is the young county princess's apprentice?"

Yang Shi snapped out of her daze, blew on the medicine, and held it to Yun Chengliang's lips. "No, Doctor Gu is the master, and the young county princess is the apprentice."

Yun Chengliang: ...

Madam Yang added, "Actually, our little county princess is quite capable!"

Yun Chengliang stretched out a withered hand and gently stroked his wife's head. "Wife, you've suffered these past few days."

Madam Yang smiled, "It's such a blessing for my husband to wake up, all four of us, mother and daughters. I'll bring the little girl over for you to see in a bit; she's still asleep. We haven't named her yet!"

Yun Chengliang clenched his fists. "My wife, I will definitely get better and make sure you and our children live a good life!"

Yang's eyes reddened. "I only hope that my husband will not blame me for taking it upon myself to sell our family of five into slavery."

Yun Chengliang shook his head, "Wife, I know my mother's temperament. In that situation, if it weren't for Yiren and the county princess helping us and buying us, how would you and your children have survived?"

If it weren't for the county princess, his wife would probably be long dead, not to mention their newborn daughter who was only a few days old. He, in his coma, would likely be forever separated from his two eldest daughters. If both he and his wife were to die, their two eldest daughters would only have the fate of being sold by their mother.

Therefore, the county princess and the lady are their family's great benefactors!

Because Yun Chengliang had woken up, Xiao Youran couldn't just leave the next day, so she gave him acupuncture for three consecutive days and exchanged a few more moves with Doctor Gu.

A few days later, just as they were about to set off, a woman rushed to the front of the county magistrate's mansion.

Xiao Youran was lifting her skirt, preparing to get into the carriage, when she was suddenly startled by the crying behind her.

"Su Yiren, help! Please save our Joyful Class!"

Su turned her head and saw a young woman with disheveled hair and dark circles under her eyes. She asked, "Who are you...?"

The woman cried, "Su Yiren... the princess has captured all the members of our Joyful Troupe! Please save them... Waaah..."

Zhao's mother tried to pull her away, saying, "You're quite an interesting girl. What does it have to do with our Yiren if the princess captured your Xile Troupe?"

The woman said, "The princess arrested my troupe, the Joyful Music Troupe, in a fit of anger because Consort Jiang slept with me and immediately suffered a stroke. She accused us of stealing from the princess's residence. They are innocent... I beg you, Lady Yi, to help me... I am willing to serve you like a dog..."

She spoke softly, and only a few people around the carriage heard her.

Su was shocked.
