Chapter 160 Sisterly Love
"Of course, just tell me everything you know." Shen Li replied.
"My name is Shaohua, and I'm a member of the Fanghua Rumeng team. The mission I've accepted this time is to assassinate you."
"Fang Hua Ru Meng?" Shen Li frowned. "Is this the name of the organization?"
"Yes, this is the name of our organization. There are nearly 500 people in Fang Hua Ru Meng, all of them are young and beautiful women. When we don't have any missions, we practice martial arts, learn to recite poems and paint. Once the master assigns a mission, we will throw ourselves into assassination or seduction.
Each of us holds a small red umbrella. Every time we kill someone, a flower appears on the umbrella. If we betray our master, we will be executed, unable to live or die.
Shen Li chuckled.
"This Queen and the Crown Prince are surprisingly artistic. They secretly set up such an assassination organization and gave it such an artistic name. They even made it quite unique, with a red umbrella!
Where is the dream of youth?"
The female assassin said, "We live together in a large courtyard outside the capital. Normally, we are not allowed to go out without permission, so outsiders have no idea that there are nearly 500 women living in that large courtyard.
We were all chosen and raised from childhood. The Queen and her people have poisoned our food since we were young. We must take the antidote every full moon day, otherwise we will die from the poison. I just asked you to cure this poison. Today is the fifteenth day..."
"Have the others also been poisoned?" Shen Li asked.
"Yes, all the sisters in the Dream of Youth have been poisoned by this."
Shen Li held his breath and took out an antidote from the medical space and gave it to Shaohua.
Then he lifted her wrist and took her pulse.
really----
She was poisoned.
It wasn't the Heart-Eating Cartilage Powder she had used, but another kind of poison.
The toxin has already seeped into the tendons and veins. If not treated, he will only have five years to live at most.
"Princess Chen, have you diagnosed what poison I've been poisoned by?"
Shaohua and her sisters had thought of ways to detoxify.
While they were out on missions, they secretly sought medical advice, but none of the doctors knew what poison they had been poisoned by.
If you can't be sure what the poison is, you can't detoxify it.
Shen Li’s frown grew deeper and deeper.
"Are there no older sisters among you?"
Shaohua nodded.
At this moment, Shen Li had already asked Yun Chenyu to unblock her acupoints.
"The sisters are mostly under twenty years old, none over twenty-five. Sometimes one or two would disappear every once in a while. The master told us that they were killed by the enemy while on a mission, and that they deserved to die because they were inferior in skills."
Shen Li nodded.
"You've been poisoned by the Yellow Springs Poison. This poison itself is easy to cure, but if you're constantly exposed to it, you can only live for twenty years at most."
"Ah..." Shaohua screamed.
"No wonder almost none of my sisters lived past the age of twenty-five. We were all taken to the Dream of Youth for secret training when we were three or four years old. So, by that calculation, each of us only had a lifespan of twenty-three or twenty-four.
This damn queen is so cruel!"
Shao Hua cursed loudly and asked Shen Li: "Can this poison of mine be cured now?"
Shen Li nodded.
"Of course I can. I'm a master poison doctor! I'm not called a miracle doctor for nothing!"
Shaohua immediately knelt down and begged.
"Please, Princess Chen, save my life and my poor sisters."
Having said that, Shaohua suddenly felt a headache and his vision gradually became blurred.
"It's over! The poison is starting to take effect!"
She shook her head, trying to stay awake, and continued to beg Shen Li.
"Princess Chen, if you can save me, I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never betray you."
Without thinking too much, Shen Li took out a few silver needles from the medical space and inserted them into the Taichong, Jianbing and Dadun points on Shaohua's body. He twisted them a few times, pulled out the silver needles, and then took out a detoxification pill and gave it to her.
Before long, Shaohua returned to normal.
"Thank you, Princess Chen." Shaohua thanked her gratefully, "Is my Yellow Springs poison cured?"
Shen Li shook his head.
"The poison has already entered your spleen, and it's not easy to cure. This pill just now only temporarily suppressed the spread of the poison. If you want to completely cure it, you must take the antidote every ten days for five consecutive times."
Shaohua was still very happy to hear Shen Li say this.
Her poison can finally be cured.
Although it would take fifty days, she could afford to wait.
In addition to being excited, Shaohua thought of the sisters in her youthful dreams.
She kowtowed to Shen Li again.
"Princess, can you please save my poor sisters again?"
The woman looked at Princess Chen in front of her with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly.
You have to know that these people have grown up together since childhood, that is the true meaning of being together day and night! Eating together, training together, the friendship between them has long been deep and incomparable.
Unfortunately, fate played a trick on them, and they were forced to become dreaded assassins.
However, even so, they cannot give up the sincere feelings between them.
Before, they had made an agreement: if one day one of them was lucky enough to find a method or antidote to detoxify, she must share it with other sisters without reservation.
At this moment, seeing that Shen Li did not respond to her request for a long time, the woman couldn't help but feel nervous, and instantly realized that perhaps the request she made was a bit too much.
After all, Princess Chen had already helped him, and now he had to save more lives...
Thinking of this, the woman hurriedly added, "Although we sisters are orphans with no one to rely on, we are all kind-hearted people! If Princess Chen is merciful and willing to help them, then from now on, we will obey your orders wholeheartedly!"
Shen Li didn't want anyone to repay her kindness, but thinking that they were all women with miserable lives, she said readily, "Of course."
Shaohua immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Princess Chen. I will go back and secretly bring all my sisters to the capital. Please treat them."
Shen Li gave Xiao Jingyan a look.
Xiao Jingyan then removed the chains from Shaohua.
"Let's go out and wash up, change into clean clothes, and then have a good meal before going back."
"Ah?" Shaohua was a little surprised.
Princess Chen also wants to take her to wash and change clothes?
This is so good for her.
"Why don't you leave? Aren't you hungry?" Shen Li asked, turning around.
"Hungry, hungry... I'm leaving now."
How could she not feel hungry? She hadn't eaten a single drop of water since she came here to carry out this assassination mission yesterday, and her empty stomach was already rumbling.
At this moment, her stomach felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and she was so hungry that it was almost sticking to her spine.
She was just surprised.
The princess was so approachable. Even though she was assassinated by someone, she did not bear grudges and repaid evil with kindness.
If only she had a master like this.
Shaohua followed Shen Li all the way and secretly made up her mind that after bringing her sisters to the capital for treatment, she would stay and obey Shen Li's orders.
After Shen Li brought her out of the dungeon, he asked Qingluan to prepare a suitable piece of clothing for her and some food so that she could eat her fill before setting off.
