Su Binglan took her silver needle and said, “I’ll perform acupuncture on you and apply some ointment to your leg. Then you can just sleep it off.”
Lan Ruozhu became more relaxed, and his eyes grew heavy. He had not slept well for a long time. He trusted his sister, so he quickly lay down and closed his eyes to relax.
Then Su Binglan started the acupuncture procedure. She used her Soul Powers she had just recovered to give her brother the strength he needed to walk on his own tomorrow.
She took some medicinal herbs from her pocket dimension to prepare the ointment. After grinding the herbs, she added some spiritual spring water and rubbed it on Lan Ruozhu’s legs.
He felt warm all over his body after falling asleep, especially when a surge of strength flowed into his legs. He slept well and soundly that night. He did not hear anything or anyone since the village was silent at night.
He could only hear the north wind blowing. The white noise was natural and helped with sleep. Lan Ruozhu only slowly woke up when the sun was about to rise, and the rooster crowed.
He felt a sense of novelty as he listened to the rooster. He lay on the brick bed in a daze and only realized where he was after returning to his senses. After a nice, complete sleep, he felt more energized.
It had been a while since he had slept so well. He used to wake up several times at night whenever he slept. Sometimes, he could not even fall back asleep if he woke up in the middle of the night.
However, he was unconscious the entire night this time. He had been asleep since closing his eyes. Lan Ruozhu smiled when he thought of his sister and the Su family.
He was excited and looked forward to visiting the morning market with his sister.
Su Binglan also slept soundly. Perhaps she knew her brother was nearby, or maybe she knew her relatives were home. She felt incredibly relaxed. However, she appeared in the fog again while sleeping.
She recalled some of her childhood memories as Lan Ruobing. Those memories included Lan Ruozhu and Wei Jin’an. In addition, Wei Jin’an’s mother and Bing Suwan were good friends.
Wei Jin’an’s mother brought him to the deceased royal’s mansion, and Lan Ruobing was playing on a tree again. Then she saw a dashing little boy. She had never seen someone so handsome as Wei Jin’an. He looked like he had just come out of an exquisite painting.
It was spring then, and catkins fluttered through the air. They gave off a wonderful feeling when they landed on Wei Jin’an’s body.
Lan Ruobing had some of her modern memories then and was stunned by this boy. She accidentally tripped while hastily getting down from the tree. However, her brother was waiting for her as he usually did.
Then the boy disappeared from where he stood and turned to catch Lan Ruobing mid- air.
She might have overeaten then, so she was a little heavy. Then the boy’s qi became unstable while carrying her to the ground. He staggered for a while before carefully putting Lan Ruobing down.
“Are you okay, little girl?”
Lan Ruobing only felt the boy’s eyes were beautiful when she looked up at him.
Most importantly, she was curious about how a little boy could be so capable. She only discovered he was from General Wei’s family after that.
The boy’s name was Wei Jin’an. Since childhood, he had practiced martial arts and was the Wei family’s prodigy. There were many legends about him. Not only was he skilled in martial arts—he was also highly talented.
One would say he was skilled in both literature and martial arts. He could write poetry at three, was well-read, was a young prodigy, became a top scholar at eight, and led troops to battle when he was only ten.
He often played with Prince and Princess Lan and studied with them as a child. Although he was very young, he was highly talented. Lan Ruobing admired him.
At that time, she had some of her modern life memories. She only had some of it because her soul was incomplete. Therefore, her memories were foggy. During that period, she did not think of military strategies.
‘If only I had taught him the 36 stratagems of Sun Tzu’s Art of War earlier.’
Later, Wei Jin’an often followed the Wei family’s army to protect the country.
He would bring Lan Ruobing a gift whenever he returned. More and more legends about him also appeared.
Lan Ruobing was concerned about the Wei family’s situation because she knew the emperor was evil. He could quickly overshadow the Wei family’s army.
Many things happened in the capital afterward. Some families got suppressed, while others received support. Six prominent families lived in the capital, and their status was extraordinary.
The emperor would rope in some of the families to his side, but the rest did not allow it, especially the Gongsun family. The emperor had tried to force them to retire, but they did not yield. Later, the emperor wiped out the Gongsun family.
Lan Ruobing remembered a young man from the Gongsun family who had survived. However, she could not recall what had happened after that.
The sun had already risen when Su Binglan awoke from her sleep. She still remembered many scenes from her dream, so she sat on the brick bed and pondered.
She remembered Luo Jin’an’s eyes dimming whenever she mentioned the Gongsun family. Still, he would be thrilled if he knew someone from the family had survived.
However, Su Binglan had yet to remember where she had sent the Gongsun family’s surviving member when she lived as Lan Ruobing. Furthermore, even Lan Ruozhu did not know about this.
Lan Ruobing sometimes did not tell her brother what she was doing because she did not want him to worry or let certain things affect him. Therefore, she did some things discreetly and told him nothing about them.
She had to wait until she gathered every piece of Lan Ruobings memories before knowing where she had sent the Gongsun family’s surviving member.
After Su Binglan got up and washed her face, she entered the main hall and saw Lan Ruozhu standing there. Su Binglan was in a daze for a moment.
“Sister!”
Su Binglan only returned to her senses after hearing Lan Ruozhu’s voice. She happily approached him and raised her head to look at him. She said excitedly, “Brother, you can stand! Doesn’t your leg hurt?”
Lan Ruozhu smiled and shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt. I feel very comfortable, and my legs are still solid. I’ve been standing all morning, and I don’t feel tired.’
“Let me check your pulse, Brother.”
Lan Ruozhu stretched out his hand for Su Binglan to take his pulse.
Immediately after, she knew his body had gotten much more robust.
‘At this rate, it won’t take long for Brother’s body to heal fully. He’ll no longer be weak and cough as much.’ Su Binglan was delighted.
She, as Su Binglan, possessed the adequate medical skills to cure her brother completely. After all, she could not help her brother when she lived as Lan
Ruobing, even if she were intelligent..
