The voice spoke again, "The book before you contains the world's most precious medical knowledge and secret techniques. Now I entrust it to you, hoping you can use it to benefit humanity." With that, the book slowly opened, automatically turning to the first page. Xue Ruanruan stared intently and discovered it contained a secret formula that could cure incurable diseases. Overwhelmed with emotion, she bowed deeply to the air, tears streaming down her face, then picked up the book, preparing to leave. But when she turned around, she found the path she had come from had vanished. All around was darkness, except for the still-bright starry sky above. At this moment, the voice sounded once more: "Remember, the responsibility you bear is immense. Go, use your medical skills to save more lives." Xue Ruanruan took a deep breath, composed herself, and began to carefully read the contents of the book. The more she read, the more astonished she became. The knowledge in this medical book was simply beyond imagination; many of the treatments for diseases were unprecedented. She secretly resolved to study this medical book diligently and not disappoint the mysterious person's expectations. After an unknown amount of time, Xue Ruanruan finally finished studying the entire medical book. She closed the book, her heart filled with emotion and a sense of mission. Just as she pondered how to apply this knowledge, the surrounding darkness gradually dissipated, and a bright road appeared before her. Xue Ruanruan stepped onto this road, clutching the medical book tightly in her hand. She knew that countless challenges and trials awaited her, but she was prepared to use her medical skills to save more lives. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting dappled shadows on the vast land. A magnificent carriage sped along the official road, its wheels rolling and kicking up clouds of dust. Inside sat the woman named Xue Ruanruan, dressed in a pale purple dress, her figure graceful, her face beautiful yet tinged with weariness. Throughout the journey, Xue Ruanruan was lost in thought. Several months had passed since she left the capital; what changes awaited her upon her return? She gently stroked the crystal-clear jade bead bracelet on her wrist, as if drawing warmth and strength from it. The scenery outside the carriage window constantly changed, from verdant mountains and clear waters to bustling cities, and then to the familiar city walls of the capital. Gazing at the towering city gate, Xue Ruanruan felt an indescribable surge of emotion. This city held so many of her memories and dreams, and witnessed every step of her growth. As the carriage slowly entered the capital, the streets were bustling with people, a vibrant and lively scene. Various cries of vendors and laughter mingled together, creating a vivid and lively panorama of everyday life. However, Xue Ruanruan had no heart to appreciate these sights; she only wanted to return home as soon as possible and see her beloved family. Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a grand mansion. Xue Ruanruan took a deep breath, tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and gracefully alighted from the carriage. The gate was already filled with servants who had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing their young mistress return, they all stepped forward to greet her. Xue Ruanruan smiled and nodded to them, her eyes sparkling with joy. Xue Ruanruan stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the ornately decorated and imposing carriage before her. Her heart skipped a beat, for the carriage's emblem and style clearly belonged to the Regent! Exquisite patterns were carved into its body, gleaming with gold. Xue Ruanruan quickly lowered her head, silently praying that the person inside hadn't seen her. However, the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of her. The coachman respectfully lifted the curtain, and a deep, magnetic voice came through: "Doctor Xue, I have been looking for you for a long time." Xue Ruanruan took a deep breath and, forcing herself to look up, gazed at the person inside. She saw the Regent, with his striking features and handsome face, though his complexion was slightly pale. Xue Ruanruan curtsied and asked softly, "Your Highness, what brings you here?" The Regent coughed lightly and said, "Only Doctor Xue can cure my illness. I've heard of your miraculous healing skills, and this stubborn ailment has tormented me for a long time. I've come specifically to invite you to the palace for treatment." Xue Ruanruan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, I only have a rudimentary understanding of medicine. There are many imperial physicians in the palace, and they are probably more capable than I am." The Regent's lips curled into a faint smile: "I trust Doctor Xue's abilities. If Doctor Xue can cure my illness, there will be a great reward." "Helpless, Xue Ruanruan had no choice but to agree. She entered the palace and went to the Regent's chambers. She carefully took his pulse; it was erratic and unusual, not the pulse of an ordinary ailment. Suspicious, Xue Ruanruan inquired about the Regent's symptoms and medical history. During their conversation, Xue Ruanruan sensed that the Regent seemed to have something difficult to say. After the surrounding attendants withdrew, the Regent slowly revealed that he had been poisoned, and that this poison was likely a conspiracy within the palace intrigue. Xue Ruanruan pondered for a long time, then took out several herbs from her medicine box and brewed a medicinal soup. After drinking it, the Regent felt much better. Xue Ruanruan continued, "Your Highness, although the poison has been temporarily suppressed, to eradicate it completely, we must find the source. I humbly request Your Highness's permission to investigate within the palace." "The Regent, seeing Xue Ruanruan's resolute gaze, nodded in agreement." Xue Ruanruan was startled. Although her medical skills were good, treating the Regent could be life-threatening if anything went wrong. But seeing the Regent's weak state, and with the compassion of a healer, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "This humble woman will do her best." She then followed the Regent into the carriage, which sped towards the palace. Xue Ruanruan's heart pounded, wondering what challenges awaited her. The carriage wheels were as tall and sturdy as a giant's foot, each rotation radiating a chilling power. It seemed nothing could stop its relentless advance—not even hard boulders, towering mountains, or bottomless ravines—all would be easily pulverized and vanish without a trace once the wheels rolled over them. The coachmen, dressed in uniform, resembled well-trained soldiers. The clothes were brightly colored and made of fine fabric, embroidered with exquisite patterns and designs, highlighting their special and noble status. These garments were not only beautiful and elegant but also practical, allowing the drivers freedom of movement while driving. Their expressions were serious and solemn. The entire carriage exuded an aura of awe, causing those around to instinctively give way. In the ensuing battle, the elixir played a crucial role. The soldiers' wounds healed rapidly, and their morale soared. They fought back fiercely, repelling the Turkic attacks time and again, safeguarding the peace of their land. The young man witnessed the cruelty of war, which further strengthened his resolve to cultivate medical skills and save the people.
