The situation intensifies, and it seems an even more mysterious force is driving everything. A new palace intrigue is brewing. The general's confidants are frantic, frantically searching for a way to rescue him. One strategist suggests tracing the source of this mysterious force. Their secret investigation leads them to the residence of a seemingly unassuming old minister. Meanwhile, the general, imprisoned, doesn't give up. Using his wit, he persuades a jailer to pass on a message. He instructs his confidants to gather evidence of his success in suppressing the rebellion, preparing to present it to the emperor at the opportune moment. Seeing the general's continued resistance, the mysterious force bribes the imperial physician to poison the medicine delivered to him. Fortunately, the general is prepared and notices the poison after only a small sip. Just as the situation becomes increasingly critical, an old friend returns from the frontier, bringing with him the praise of the people there. The emperor's resolve wavers upon hearing this. At this moment, the confidants also present the evidence they have collected. The Emperor began to re-examine the entire incident, while the mysterious force accelerated the implementation of the conspiracy. A life-or-death duel was about to erupt in the turbulent court. It seemed that another storm was about to break out in the seemingly peaceful court. This seemingly weak woman actually possessed a hidden identity and cunning; a new wave of turmoil was about to be unleashed after this seemingly peaceful victory. A deathly silence fell, with only the lingering smoke and the bloodstains bearing witness to the fierce and tragic nature of the battle. The soldier who successfully slew the last remaining enemy 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 annihilating all the remaining enemies 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 Zhenguo General's Mansion gained even greater fame. 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 Zhenguo General's Mansion was once again saved from danger, and Xue Ruanruan, with her superb medical skills, became the guardian star of the mansion. He intently stared at the pile of colorful and irregularly 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 and mixed them together in a specific ratio. As he continued to stir and mix, a faint medicinal aroma gradually filled the air. Soon, an antidote was successfully prepared. Immediately afterward, he carefully picked up the container holding the antidote, quickly walked to a well-ventilated area in the room, and gently sprinkled the antidote evenly there. Then he quietly told his father and brothers the truth. When the Regent, thinking 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 hurriedly ordered 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 found the powerful anesthetic powder she had concocted. Using her familiarity with the terrain, she quietly approached the assassins. While the assassins were distracted by their search for valuables, she decisively threw out the powder. Instantly, the assassins fell victim to it. 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, intending to destroy her if that failed.
Golden needle technique, an ancient medical art, was the subject of a conspiracy by a neighboring country within the palace, putting everyone in the General's Mansion on high alert. Xue Ruanruan understood that she could no longer remain peacefully within the mansion. She decided to enter the palace to inform the Emperor and seek the court's protection. After meeting the Emperor, he was furious at the neighboring country's actions and decided to strengthen border defenses, also assigning Xue Ruanruan a team of highly skilled guards to protect her. However, Xue Ruanruan knew this was only a temporary solution. She thought of golden needle technique; this ancient medical art might become a powerful weapon to protect herself and the General's Mansion. She began to study golden needle technique day and night, hoping to maximize its power. Just as she was engrossed in her research, news came from the palace that a concubine had suddenly fallen seriously ill, and the imperial physicians were helpless. The Emperor remembered Xue Ruanruan's medical skills and summoned her to the palace to treat her. Xue Ruanruan hurriedly entered the palace with her medicine chest and needle pouch, facing a new test. Whether she could resolve this crisis with her golden needle technique became the focus of everyone's attention. Golden needle technique, meant to be a miraculous method for healing the sick, had become a weapon in the power struggles of the harem. Consort Li had recently fallen ill, and the imperial physicians were all helpless. Upon hearing this, the Empress secretly arranged for a female physician skilled in golden needle technique to quietly enter the palace.
The woman suggested that the general voluntarily relinquish some of his military power as a sign of loyalty. After careful consideration, the general decided to comply. However, the rumors surrounding the relinquishment did not subside; instead, they intensified. Some ministers impeached the general in court, accusing him of attempting to cover up his crimes. The emperor, hearing these accusations repeatedly, grew increasingly suspicious of the general and even reduced the general's monthly allowance.
Xue Ruanruan finally completed the potion and distributed it to everyone. When the mysterious tribe launched their attack, they found the magic's effectiveness greatly diminished. Murong Xun led his guards in a valiant resistance, while Xue Ruanruan led a medical team to treat the wounded. Ultimately, the country successfully resisted the mysterious tribe's invasion and continued to prosper. Later, the mysterious tribe conquered the country. Xue Ruanruan was the first to notice something amiss; she discovered that many people in the city were behaving strangely. She quickly informed Murong Xun, who immediately arranged for an investigation. After some investigation, they discovered that the mysterious tribe was secretly using magic to control some of the people. Murong Xun frowned, knowing the crisis was insidious. Xue Ruanruan suggested that perhaps they could find a way to break the spell by examining the roots of the mysterious tribe's magic. Therefore, she and several elders skilled in medicine and occult arts began their research. Meanwhile, Murong Xun strengthened the city's defenses and trained soldiers, preparing for a large-scale attack from the mysterious tribe. The Left Prime Minister, upon learning of this, even considered taking advantage of the chaos to collude with the mysterious tribe and seize greater power. He secretly sent people to contact the mysterious tribe, unaware that Xue Ruanruan's spies had been watching. Xue Ruanruan informed Murong Xun, and the two decided to turn the tables. When the mysterious tribe met with the Left Prime Minister's men, Murong Xun led his men to capture them all. Enraged by their exposed plot, the mysterious tribe launched a preemptive attack. A fierce battle ensued, and whether Murong Xun, Xue Ruanruan, and others could lead the nation to successfully resist this even more intense attack and ensure continued prosperity remained uncertain. The two joined forces to investigate. Following the clues, they found the hidden sorcerer. A battle between good and evil ensued; Xue Ruanruan used her medical skills to resist the witchcraft, while Murong Xun...
