Chapter 967 You heard it right, I am the Medical Saint!

As they were talking, an old man with disheveled clothes and blood-stained shirt suddenly walked in.

As he walked, he raised his hands to adjust the crooked fur hat on his head. He looked very tired and seemed like he was about to fall down at any time.

But when he saw the old prince sitting up on the bed and talking in high spirits, his eyes suddenly widened, and he threw the hat in his hand to the side and rushed over excitedly:

"Old Prince? Old Prince, are you awake? Oh my, is this true? Am I dreaming? When did you wake up? Why did you wake up so suddenly? I came to check your pulse this morning. It's impossible for you to wake up so quickly. It's all my fault that I'm incompetent. I claim to be an expert in both medicine and poison, but I'm not proficient in this poisonous insect. I let you suffer because of the villain's trick..."

The old man kept talking like a chicken with blood pumped up. He rushed to the bedside, grabbed the old prince's shoulders, looked him up and down, front and back, left and right, and even lifted the quilt and reached out to undress the old prince. As a result, Mo Beihan, who had just been pushed aside by him, grabbed his wrist:

"What are you going to do?"

However, Qiao Ran was staring at the old man's head and thought that it was no wonder that the old man couldn't wear his hat steadily, it turned out that he had a bald head!

But the ancients always followed the principle that "the body and hair are given by parents, and we should not damage them, which is the beginning of filial piety", so both men and women kept long hair, except...

By the way, the old man just now called himself "Laonu"? It turns out he is a bald monk!

Sure enough, I heard the old man grumbling in dissatisfaction:

"Hey, hey, hey, let go! Let go! My hand is going to break! Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? Why do you always pinch people's wrists?"

Qiao Ran was speechless. How could this old monk not look like a monk at all? Not only was he making a lot of noise, he was also blaming others for his mistakes.

Mo Beihan was afraid that the old monk would continue to untie the old prince's clothes, so he did not let go.

It was General Duanmu who came out to explain:

"Your Highness, this is the senior monk doctor. He has been responsible for taking the prince's pulse and regulating his health for the past two years. He just came back from the rescue center and doesn't know that the prince has woken up yet."

Only then did Mo Beihan let go of the old monk's hand.

The monk doctor also calmed down and realized that there was a young girl in the room.

But he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just another relative or maid in the palace. Anyway, he, an old monk, didn't care about such things.

He said to Mo Beihan:

"Are you the prince of Dingbei? As soon as you came, the old prince's poison was cured. Did you bring a royal doctor with you? Tell me which royal doctor it is? I want to learn the art of curing poison from him!"

Mo Beihan and Qiao Ran looked at each other, Qiao Ran smiled and nodded, Mo Beihan pointed and introduced:

"Senior monk doctor, this is my fiancée, Qiao Ran."

The old monk frowned and waved his hands impatiently:

"Hey, you brat! I'm asking you which doctor cured the old prince of his poison. Why are you introducing your fiancée? I'm going to leave here in half a year, and we may not have the chance to meet again in the future. I don't care who your fiancée is! Tell me, who cured the poison?"

Mo Beihan had seen the ghost doctor's strange temper and knew that these outsiders were not particular about details and had bad tempers, so he didn't mind the old monk's rudeness.

He smiled helplessly:

"Because the person who cured my grandfather of the poison was my fiancée, the current Medical Saint!"

"What?"

The old monk cried out in surprise, and then he looked at the little girl carefully, his eyes full of suspicion:

"Did I hear correctly? This is the new Medical Saint? How could she be a little girl?"

Qiao Ran took out the Medical Saint Order and smiled not too modestly:

"You heard me right, I am the Medical Saint!"

The old monk snatched the Medical Saint Order and read it carefully several times, only then was he sure that the little girl in front of him, who had just reached the age of marriage, was indeed the newest Medical Saint.

He returned the Medical Saint Order and looked at Qiao Ran:

"Are you a descendant of a Gu doctor? Or a Saintess from the Miao Border? Are you specialized in Gu magic?"

Qiao Ran shook her head:

"I know a lot, including medicine, poison, witchcraft, alchemy, and golden needle techniques, etc."

"You... you know so much? Oh, I remember now! I heard that the life-saving pills that the old prince took after being poisoned were given by his future granddaughter-in-law, that is, you. Were those pills really made by you?"

"Yes."

"You are so young, but you really have such talent? Wow, you are truly a genius and a prodigy!"

"Senior is overly praised!"

After a conversation, I learned that this old monk was known as the monk doctor. The reason he did not attend the Medical Saint Conference was because he was indifferent to fame and fortune, lived a free and easy life, and spent most of his life traveling in Dai Viet and several neighboring countries.

The reason why he stayed in Northern Frontier for more than two years was because he wanted to go from Northern Frontier to Northern Desert to look for Millennium Ice Lotus and Ice Soul Grass. As a result, he was caught in an avalanche and was buried. He was saved by the old prince and survived.

The old monk didn't have many copper coins on him, let alone silver. He carried a bowl with him wherever he went and begged for alms along the way. Therefore, he had nothing valuable to repay the life-saving grace.

There was no other choice, the old monk could only decide to stay in the Dingbei Palace in the northern border as a court physician for three years to help the old prince, who was suffering from injuries and colds, to recuperate.

Now two and a half years have passed, and in another six months he will be able to repay the life-saving grace, regain his freedom, and continue to travel around begging for alms.

"It's a coincidence that after the old prince returned to the capital, I wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Northern Desert to look for the thousand-year-old ice lotus and ice soul grass that no one had ever seen before. Who knew that because I was not here when the old prince came back, the villain took advantage of the opportunity and put a curse on the old prince. Alas! This is what I owe the old prince. I decided to stay here for another three years to make up for the pain and torture that my negligence brought to the old prince."

The old monk looked remorseful.

The old prince quickly comforted:

"Doctor monk, don't blame yourself. No one could have expected this. I didn't ask for anything in return when I saved you. The monk monk has voluntarily stayed for more than two years, which is enough to repay the favor. You can go wherever you want in the future without any worries."

However, the old monk rolled his eyes and was unwilling to leave. He even said that he wanted to be a medicine boy for the old prince's future granddaughter-in-law for three years and would do whatever he was asked to do.

Qiao Ran looked at the old monk whose eyes were rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking, and said with a smile:

"I don't need a medicine boy, and I won't stay in the Northern Frontier for a long time. Now that the old prince's poison has been cured, I will return to the capital as soon as the war in the Northern Frontier is resolved."

The old monk was no longer happy when he heard this, and looked at her eagerly:

"Does the Medical Saint want to return to Beijing? Didn't you come to Northern Frontier to get married? It is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Your future husband is here, why are you returning to Beijing?"

"He has to go back to Beijing too! We are only here to cure the poison for the old prince and deliver supplies to the Dingbei Army. We have to go back after we are done. I have many relatives there."
