Chapter 1103 It’s all just wishful thinking

Lin Guizhen also nodded repeatedly, looking at her niece with admiration:

"Ranran looks more like a princess than any other princess in the palace when she's dressed up like this!"

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at her eldest granddaughter with eyes full of pride. If she were to say, how could those princesses and princesses be as beautiful as Ranran?

She had met several princesses and duchesses before when she attended banquets at the General's Mansion and Prince Dingbei's Mansion, but none of them were even half as pretty as Ranran!

"Ran Ran, you're going into the palace alone this time, so be careful. I heard that those foreigners look weird, and some are even very barbaric. You better not get into conflict with them."

Although the old lady had never watched a palace fighting drama, she knew that attending such a banquet would definitely not be peaceful.

Haven’t you seen that there were always people disrupting the banquets at the General’s Mansion?

She was really worried that those foreigners would cause trouble and bring harm to her eldest granddaughter.

Qiao Ran nodded gently:

"Grandma, don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me."

It was inconvenient to ride a horse in her palace dress, so she was standing at the gate waiting for her uncle to harness the carriage to take her away, but a carriage had already stopped outside the yard.

Mo Beihan lifted the car curtain and waved with a smile on his face:

"Ranran, I'm here to pick you up!"

Seeing Qiao Ran in a palace dress and with makeup on, Mo Beihan's eyes lit up again and again.

Ranran looks good no matter how she dresses, but she looks more dignified and majestic in a palace dress, which is completely different from her usual cold temperament, and also different from her heroic appearance in armor.

Anyway, no matter which one it was, he was fascinated, even if it was the gray and tattered clothes he wore when fleeing from famine!

"Why are you dazed?"

When a clear female voice sounded, he came back to his senses. It turned out that Ranran had already gotten into the carriage.

"No...it's just that this is the first time I see you wearing this palace dress, and I think you look even better."

"Really? You look especially handsome today too!"

"What does handsome mean?"

"Oh, it means handsome and extraordinary."

"Really?"

Mo Beihan stared at Qiao Ran's eyes with sparkling eyes. When he saw her nod, he was secretly delighted and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Qiao Ran asked, "Are there many people attending today's palace banquet?"

"Yes, there are envoys from the six surrounding countries, and a few more distant countries have also sent envoys. I guess they are here to deliver letters of credence and ask for peace, to propose a marriage, and finally to meet you, the Medical Saint."

"What about me?"

"Of course! You're a Medical Sage! You know, the higher the position, the more afraid people are of death. The slightest illness or pain will make them extremely nervous, and they wish they could have the best doctor with them to save their lives at any time. There are only a few Medical Sages as young and powerful as you in the world. After the Medical Sage Conference, the news has spread to all the countries. Naturally, they want to win you over, to have you serve as their royal physician, or at the very least, to obtain some elixir of immortality."

Qiao Ran chuckled: "Where in the world is there an elixir of immortality? It's all just wishful thinking."

Mo Beihan nodded and sneered:

"Many people understand this truth, yet they still cling to that elusive hope for a chance. Seeking immortality, those in power have committed many absurd and inhumane acts. They would rather sacrifice the lives of thousands of innocent people in pursuit of their so-called path to immortality."

"Those people will not have a good ending. Evil deeds will be punished by fate."

Throughout history, which of those cruel people in power has ever had a good ending?
