Chapter 60 Herbs can save lives

I pushed his hand away easily and said in a hurry: "It hurts too much. There should be herbs in the grass. I'll come as soon as I can."

Turning around and running away for two steps, I heard Prince Yi's hurried voice: "Stop! You... come back."

The insistence in his voice was so strong and the tone was so stern that I was forcefully pulled back and returned to him anxiously.

He held his head high and stretched out his arms, trying to grab me. Cold sweat was dripping from his pale face, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were even redder.

The doctor told him to lie down, otherwise the sutured wound would burst.

I strode to him and knelt down in front of him, making it easy for him to hold my hand, and it was me who wanted to hold his.

I wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and whispered: "I know you are worried about me going out alone as a woman. Don't worry. I have a sense of propriety. I can't just watch you suffer this. I can't bear it. This time Whether you stop me or not, I’m going.”

As I spoke, the doctor was still calmly stitching up Prince Yi's wound.

Prince Yi's whole body was trembling slightly, but he always stared into my eyes. I could also see my shadow in his delicate and beautiful eyes, as well as the hidden pain, worry, and some strong emotions.

In the past, I thought he had a lazy temperament and was always cynical, as if everything in the world was just a temporary interest in his eyes. But now I felt the strength in his heart, so resolute and determined.

But such forbearance and strength made me suddenly feel that he was lonely and pitiful. Why could he endure such hardship?He is the Yiwangye of the Daying Dynasty, a royal relative, shouldn't he be pampered and live in a state of luxury and indulgence all day long?How could he endure the unbearable suffering of ordinary people?

"Doctor." I stood up and stopped the doctor from continuing to sew, and said, "Even if there is no hemp powder, you people living on the grassland must have collected a lot of herbal medicines on weekdays. Isn't there any herbal medicine that can be used?"

The doctor with a ring of beard said expressionlessly: "I am just following the instructions of the Great Khan to treat the prince's wound. I have brought all the necessary tools. After the wound is sutured, I will prepare medicine for the prince to take. "

There is medicine for healing, but there is no anesthetic for healing. That Anda Khan clearly wants Prince Yi to suffer some pain, but they don't dare to do it openly, so they use such a dirty trick!
I said to the doctor angrily: "Just wait for me, I will go find some herbs and then treat him!"

This time, without waiting for the prince to stop me, I ran towards the tent door.

As he approached the door, he still heard him shouting in a low voice: "Don't go!"

I didn't look back and opened the curtain.

As soon as I came out, the two Mongolian soldiers guarding the tent immediately stopped me with their swords.

"Go and tell you, Khan, that I am going out to find herbs for the prince!"

I was not afraid of their sabers, so I stood up and continued walking forward. As expected, they hurriedly pulled back their sabers, and one of the Mongolian soldiers hurriedly ran out to report.

Soon, the Mongolian soldier who reported the news came back and said a few words to his companions in Mongolian. The Mongolian soldier gave way and let me go, but the Mongolian soldier who reported the news followed closely behind me.

I ignored him and kept looking for myself.

At a glance, I found a large yurt.

Except for the soldiers in the yurt where we were, there was another scene of living and working in peace and contentment elsewhere.

On the flat green grassland, various tents are colorful, and sheep are enclosed in fences.

The women and children in hooded robes, with dark skin and eyes as bright as stars, stared at me from a distance.

I was busy looking for herbs and didn't pay attention to those eyes.

There are many wild herbs on the grassland, but unfortunately, after looking around, I didn't see any that can be used as an anesthetic. Thinking that the prince's injury is still waiting to be sutured, I can't help but become anxious. Will he have to endure that kind of torture in the end?
I stood up straight and wiped the sweat from my forehead. I glanced over unintentionally and saw the tallest tent built, and the tent was wrapped with a circle of flower stands, which was bright and yellow.

I couldn't help but walk quickly towards the tent.

When passing by a tent, the curtain suddenly opened, a hand stretched out, and he quickly pulled me in.

After I stood firm, I saw that it was Zalik. My heart was beating wildly, but I suppressed my fear and struggled desperately to separate his hand.

He only held me with one hand, and with the other hand he opened a corner of the curtain and said to the Mongolian soldiers who were following me outside: "I will ask this woman a few words and let her out in a while. If you dare to say anything, I will Kill you! Oh—you bitch!"

I bit the back of his hand hard, and there was even the smell of blood in my mouth. He didn't shrink back subconsciously, but slapped me in the face with his backhand.

Like a boulder rubbing against my face, I felt myself swell up immediately, but I didn't let go and kept biting him, and he had to wave his arm to shake me off.There was also a bloody tooth mark left on the back of his hand.

I stood up from the ground dizzily. He was a little blurry in front of me, so I looked at his blurry shadow and said coldly:

"I am the concubine of Prince Daying Chaoyi, and I have nothing to say to Prince Zalik. You Prince Jieyi must have some big plans when you come here. Now what you are planning is undecided, and the Prince doesn't want to make any mistakes, right? And I It seems that the Great Khan is not easy to fool people in the past. If nothing happens to the prince, the slave family will leave now. Today’s incident." I tapped the position of my palm to indicate that he had left evidence on his hand, and then said, "The slave family will also definitely leave. Don't say a word."

Zalik glared at me and walked towards me step by step. I lowered my eyes and turned my face away, not afraid of him.

As expected, he no longer acted offensively, and just sneered and said: "Women from the Central Plains also have such fierce tempers. Originally, I wanted to give you a way out. Since you are so fierce, when the King of Japan and Italy cannot protect himself, I think you What else can be done!”

"Then let's wait and see." I said coldly, "The Great Khan allows me to find herbs. I'll say goodbye."

Under his vicious gaze, I walked out quickly.

The tallest tent should be the king's tent, with a large area of ​​datura flowers planted around it.

I ran over happily, but was stopped by the Mongolian soldier: "That is the princess's tent, no one can enter without permission."

I quickly said: "I just want some of those yellow flowers, how about you pick some for me?"

Meng Bing said: "That's even worse. The princess regards those flowers as treasures. No one dares to pick the flowers from the princess."

"Let her go." Zalik's voice came from behind.

He stepped over and said in a deep voice: "Since the Great Khan has told her to find herbs at will, let her pick them. Don't forget, she is the woman of a Han prince."

The Mongolian soldier hesitated for a moment and then took me there.

Although I doubt Zalik's intentions, I can no longer care about this. I just want to pick the flowers as soon as possible.

As soon as I got close to the tent, the Mongolian soldiers guarding me came over to question me. The Mongolian soldiers who were following me stepped forward and spoke a few words in Mongolian. Gradually, both sides became very angry. After negotiating for a while, I was let go to pick flowers.

Carrying the picked datura flowers in my pocket, I hurried back.

The doctor was cleaning Prince Yi's wound but did not suture it.

Seeing the flowers in my arms, he looked at me strangely, shook his head, picked some flowers, and whispered to the Mongolian girl to brew them.

Because I had been beaten on the face, I was afraid that Prince Yi would be worried. As soon as I came back, I knelt down next to him and comforted him in a low voice, saying, "What a coincidence. There is a large field of datura flowers outside. This kind of flower can be cured by taking it." I will be drowsy, and then I won’t feel any pain when I stitch the wound again.”

He lost all his strength after losing blood and struggling a lot, and said in a low voice: "Why bother with all this effort? If it had been sutured earlier, I didn't know you were so brave and didn't even listen to my words."

"Of course I listened to the prince's instructions. It's just that the situation forced me to see the prince suffer."

He said nothing more and fell asleep.

The doctor quickly sewed up the wound, told the Mongolian girl how to change and take the medicine, and then whispered to me: "Girl, please take a step to speak."

I followed him to the window of the tent, and he asked in a low voice: "That flower...how did you pick it?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I began to mutter again, could it be that Zalik had really done something bad?

I took a look at the doctor. Although he looked dull, his face was very kind, and I whispered: "It was Prince Zalik who said that the Great Khan allowed me to find herbs, and the flowers will be picked naturally, sir." , but what’s wrong?”

The doctor pondered for a moment and said: "That is the beloved thing of the princess. Even the sweat is not allowed to touch it easily. But it is used to heal the prince's wounds. I don't think the princess will blame it."

The doctor left, and I looked at the blue sky outside the window, thinking: "It seems that this princess of the Tumut tribe is extremely favored, but no matter how arrogant she is, we can only use her for a few flowers, what's the big deal."

The Mongolian girl cleaned up the room and went out to make medicine.

I sat next to Prince Yi and looked at his gauze-covered back for a while. I was thinking quietly when I heard Prince Yi groaning lowly. I quickly looked over and saw that his brows were furrowed. He seemed to be awake.

I happily called him: "Your Majesty."
