“Your Highness, this snow lotus grass grows in extremely secluded places, often in dangerous mountain areas,” the military doctor said. “Those who have gone to pick these magical herbs throughout history have mostly never returned.”
Upon hearing this, the Seventeenth Prince said, "No matter how difficult it is, we must find this magical herb. I will send out three teams to harvest it. As for the army doctor, you just need to focus on recuperating the Fourth Prince; there's no need for further explanation. However, you must draw a picture of the herb, otherwise they won't recognize it."
"Yes," the medic replied.
Xueying stood silently behind the crowd, listening intently. She longed to push through the crowd and see Hongli.
However, she held back. Only after the Seventeenth Prince led everyone out to give instructions on picking the immortal herbs did Xueying see Hongli's appearance.
He used to be so aloof and unapproachable, but now the person lying there looked extremely weak and pale.
“Master!” Pichu called out.
"Go outside and keep watch." Xueying had no mind to listen to Pichu's words at the moment; she was so heartbroken that she wished she could take all the pain upon herself.
Pichu went out, and the army doctor also went out to draw a portrait of the fairy herb. The guards in the tent also withdrew when they saw that it was the concubine.
Xueying walked to Hongli's bedside and slowly squatted down beside him.
"Your Highness~" Xueying sobbed, "Xueying shouldn't have wandered off, Your Highness, you must get better. What will Xueying do if you don't get better? Although you never look at Xueying directly, Xueying only has Your Highness in her heart. Xueying believes she loves Your Highness no less than the First Princess, but fate made her born into the Ulanara family, making her Your Highness's natural enemy. But Xueying has fallen in love with Your Highness, and is willing to abandon her status as a daughter of the Ulanara family to be with Your Highness!"
As she spoke, Xueying cried even harder, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered since marrying Hongli.
Hongli had his eyes closed, but he was actually just weak and not asleep. He heard every single word Xueying said.
"You're crying so hard, is it... is it because you feel that I've bullied you?" Hongli asked, his eyes still closed, as he moved his lips.
Xueying quickly looked up and stared blankly at Hongli, seeing that he still had his eyes closed, but it was clearly him who had just said it.
"Your Highness!" Xueying couldn't help but call out. Although the words she had just kept hidden in her heart sounded somewhat embarrassing, she didn't regret saying them at all. In fact, she had wanted to tell Hongli these words for a long time.
"Hmm!" Hongli couldn't help but agree, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the tear-streaked face before me, without a trace of makeup, with delicate and bright eyes, a slightly twitching nose, and a small, diamond-shaped mouth slightly open.
At this moment, Hongli was at his weakest, and his will was at its weakest. He felt that he really liked the woman in front of him, and he could no longer suppress this feeling.
"I'm thirsty!" Hongli said, looking at Xueying.
Xueying quickly realized what was happening and went to get Hongli some water. After a flurry of activity, she finally managed to get a bowl of water to Hongli's lips.
Xueying had never served anyone before, so she was naturally a bit inexperienced.
"Cough cough!" Hongli choked on a few mouthfuls of water after being forced to drink it.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Xueying was so anxious that she didn't know how to comfort her.
