Chapter 817 The Princess's Marriage is Mighty and Magnificent
The way the foreign king was poisoned was very strange.
Last night, the king neither went to the tent of his eldest wife Nata nor chose his young wife, but slept alone in his own tent.
This morning, his followers came to him to report something. No one responded when they shouted outside the tent. So they rushed in in a hurry and found that the foreign king had been poisoned and unconscious.
According to doctors in the Northern Territory, the foreign king was poisoned by a poison that is almost impossible to cure, and it is uncertain whether he can wake up.
"What should I do then... my king, my husband..."
The young wife couldn't hold back her tears when she heard these words. Zong Huai walked to her reluctantly, patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
In comparison, Nata seemed much calmer and composed. She didn't shed a single tear and stared at the doctor with extreme calmness.
"Even if there is almost no solution, it can still be saved. Just tell me what needs to be done."
The doctor nodded respectfully to Nata.
"This poison does have an antidote, but there is one ingredient in the antidote that you can only encounter by chance."
"What is it? Tell me quickly!" When the young wife heard that the foreign king could still be saved, she immediately perked up, cheered up and stared at the doctor with burning eyes.
The doctor glanced at her and quickly lowered his head.
"Snow Mountain Dragon Tan."
Upon hearing the name of this medicinal ingredient, everyone in the tent except Shi Li and Sen Heng took a deep breath.
Snow Mountain Dragon Palm grows in the deepest part of the mountains in the northern border. According to legend, only one plant blooms at a time, and there are ferocious beasts guarding it. It has always been a legendary elixir in the north.
No wonder the doctor said that the poison in the foreign king is almost uncurable, and it is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven to obtain the Snow Mountain Dragon Tan.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Shi Li did not speak rashly. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the pattern on the edge of her sleeve thoughtfully.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but it was my young wife who spoke again.
She seemed to have regained her senses, and her eyes were fixed on Sen Heng.
"Since you have lived in the snowy mountains for so long, you must know where the dragon palm is. Go pick it back!"
The tone was one of command that brooked no room for questioning.
Not to mention others, Shi Li felt uncomfortable after hearing it.
As the person involved, Mori Heng did not react at all. He looked at the king lying on the couch with weak breathing with an expressionless face.
After hearing what his young wife said, everyone else looked at Sen Heng, as if they were placing all their hopes on him.
Nata showed a trace of reluctance on her face, but for the sake of the King, she hardened her heart and said, "Go there. No one else is as familiar with the mountains as you are."
"Oh, you don't dare to go?" Zong Huai also sneered and raised his chin to look at Sen Heng provocatively.
These people, whether enemies or friends, now stand together and push Mori Heng to the opposite side.
If he doesn't agree, he would be unfilial and disloyal, and he would probably not be able to gain a foothold in the North in the future.
In fact, he didn't even know what family affection was in the past few years. He was alone in the snowy mountains, eating raw meat and drinking blood, and had nothing to do with the people in front of him.
"I'll go."
Sen Heng's face was like a lake, showing neither resentment nor anger, but so calm as if he was describing today's weather.
His words softened the expressions of the others around him.
The doctor in particular breathed a sigh of relief and said boldly, "But this Snow Mountain Dragonwood has a special feature. It must be picked by a pure girl, otherwise the medicinal effect will be lost."
Shi Li: ...
【Did you switch channels?】
[I suspect this is a martial arts novel. It's just a flower, but a girl has to pick it. What the hell? ]
[No, no, no, I suspect this is the will of the world creating opportunities for the anchor. She is the only girl here~]
In fact, I'm overthinking the barrage.
This kind of thing would never be the turn of a princess as precious as her, even if she was a princess who came to marry a foreign prince.
No matter how crazy the people in the tent were, they weren't crazy to this extent.
If anything happens to Shi Li when he goes to the Snow Mountain, they will not be able to report to Dayong.
"Then I'll go with Moriheng."
Just when everyone wanted to spend a lot of money to find a willing girl, Shi Li spoke up.
"Princess, this is not okay!"
This time, Nata was anxious. She stepped forward and stared at Shi Li, "You are of noble status, you can't take risks!"
"Yes, yes, Princess, don't be impulsive!" The young wife also stood aside with Nata.
Zong Huai didn't say anything, but looked at Shi Li with disdain.
Shi Li didn't care what they thought or said at all. She just slowly gathered her sleeves and blinked innocently at everyone.
"Then ask Sen Heng if he is willing to take others into the mountains?"
Everyone's eyes then fell on Sen Heng again.
He heard what was said just now, faced with several complicated gazes, and shook his head slowly.
"Do not."
