"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life."
The monk faced Xia Yu, clasped his hands together, and bowed.
Xia Yu looked sideways and saw that although the monk's face was still pale, his posture was upright under his tattered monk robe, so he seemed to be fine.
Xia Yu stood up with surprise in his eyes, and the gloom between his brows had disappeared.
"Master, no need to be so polite." Xia Yu turned to Shen Yuyao, "It was this young master who helped and saved you."
Xia Yu did not reveal Shen Yuyao's identity, in fact, he also wanted to test the monk's vision.
Shen Yuyao understood and stood up as well.
She smiled slightly, looking at the monk with clear eyes, "Master, although the strange poison in your body has been cured, you still need to take good care of yourself to eliminate the remaining poison."
Upon hearing this, the monk looked carefully at the person in front of him.
One glance, ten thousand years!
I saw her, wearing a clean white shirt, like a branch of a jade tree, standing proudly among the green mountains and clear waters, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth; she was also like the beautiful jade from Kunlun, which, although falling in the countryside, was still full of splendor.
The monk was a little stunned. Although the person in front of him was wearing men's clothes, he had the appearance of a phoenix.
His family had been practicing medicine for generations, and the monk had been good at medicine since he was young. At this moment, he was extremely surprised.
When he was poisoned, he knew that there was no cure for the poison.
I even thought to myself: My life is over!
But the person in front of him detoxified him so easily?
What level of medical skills has the person in front of me reached?
The monk inadvertently saw the look Xia Yu gave Shen Yuyao.
He had already guessed the identity of the person in front of him: a female scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty, the wife of Prince Ning, Shen.
The monk's face brightened slightly, his eyes showing gratitude, "I thank Princess Ning for rescuing me."
Shen Yuyao thought that it was not easy for the monk to tell at a glance that she was a woman disguised as a man, as she was still wearing men's clothes.
He was able to even reveal her identity as a princess in one sentence. It seems that this monk is indeed extraordinary.
"As the Buddha said, karma arises and ceases, cause and effect revolves, and everything has its destiny." Shen Yuyao smiled faintly, "Master, there's no need to thank me."
"The princess's mind is as zen as an orchid, and she is as free as the wind."
After saying that, the monk turned to look at Xia Yu with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Princess Ning, you are so precious!"
She is already the Princess of Ning, if she is any higher, wouldn’t she be the Queen?
Xia Yu understood the monk's implication, "Master, thank you for your praise."
"Namo Amitabha." The monk's face was still pale, but his eyes were bright.
It is true that cause and effect lead to destruction, and karma is a cycle of reincarnation.
Xia Yu thought of the question Shen Yuyao had asked just now, "I haven't asked for Master's name yet. We have a long road ahead of us, so it's convenient for us to address each other."
"My Buddhist name is Daoyan." Daoyan clasped his hands together, lowered his head and answered.
"It's a long journey to Yanjing. To avoid trouble, let's just call each other by our daily names." Xia Yu also put his palms together and said, "Master Daoyan, what do you say?"
"That's great."
Shen Yuyao nodded and bowed to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I am Shen Yili."
The name Shen Yili is the name Shen Yuyao often uses when she wears men's clothing.
Because her four brothers were loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, she named herself Li.
A scent of meat wafted over.
Zi Su carried the steamer to the courtyard and said, "My Lord, Princess, it's getting late. I steamed some buns..."
Before Zi Su finished speaking, she saw Dao Yan's face turned even paler, and she waved her hands hurriedly, "I am now looking after Baozi..."
"I steamed vegetarian buns for you, Master." Zi Su didn't understand the reason.
But Xia Yu knew that Daoyan now had a shadow over Baozi.
Xia Yu calmly ordered Zi Su, "Zi Su, take it back to the kitchen. From now on, the palace will no longer make buns."
Zi Su felt a little strange, but seeing Shen Yuyao nodded at her, she could only carry the steamer back to the kitchen.
As he walked, he muttered, "Doesn't the prince always love to eat buns?"
Shen Yuyao smiled and asked Dao Yan: "Master, where did the bun that poisoned you yesterday come from?"
Seeing Daoyan was still a little weak, Xia Yu personally brought a wooden chair and said, "Master, please sit down."
Daoyan looked at Xia Yu with gratitude, then slowly sat down and said, "My real name is Li Tianxi. My family has been practicing medicine for generations, saving lives."
"When I was young, fate brought me to ordination at the age of fourteen. At fifteen, I met a renowned teacher who guided me and I began my journey around the world."
"Last spring, the Emperor recruited Buddhist monks for official positions. I went to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam, but unfortunately, I failed and was only given a monk's robe."
Xia Yu looked at the gray monk's robe Daoyan was wearing, and then he understood why it was so worn out. It seemed that he had never taken it off since the day he put it on.
A gift from the emperor.
Daoyan cherishes it so much, and he must have lofty ambitions in his heart.
In the summer, a rare breeze blows by.
When Xia Xiaoxian woke up, she found that there was no one around her. Even Zisu, who usually liked to watch over her while she slept, was not in the room.
The little baby climbed down from the bed and walked into the yard.
[Huh? It turns out the black-robed prime minister mentioned in the Three Lives Book is actually this handsome.]
[He's much more handsome than the picture in the book.]
[Luckily, Mother saved him, otherwise Immortal Father wouldn't have been able to protect Mother for the rest of her life.]
[Doesn't that mean the final outcome will still be a mass grave?]
[Sure enough, my blood is really powerful. The monk is almost fine.]
When Shen Yuyao heard the inner voice, she knew that Xia Xiaoxian had woken up. She hurried to the door, took Xia Xiaoxian's hand, and walked to Xia Yu and Daoyan.
Shen Yuyao has always had a question in her mind, why does the little fairy baby no longer call the scum king daddy, but fairy daddy instead?
Could it be that Prince Ning Xia Yu has really become a different person?
