Time passed little by little, and Li Zian's face became increasingly ugly.
Shen Tianshu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He waited anxiously for another quarter of an hour and finally got Xie Yan back.
Xie Yan stumbled a little when he entered the room, handed the medicinal materials to Shen Tianshu and said: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I encountered some trouble when I came back just now."
Shen Tianshu had already prepared the medicine dumpling. At this time, he did not bother to ask, and hurriedly put the required medicinal materials into the medicine dumpling and started to boil the medicine.
Watching the water in the medicine pot begin to boil, he removed the two pieces of firewood to make the fire below a little smaller, and then Shen Tianshu turned around and returned to the house.
She asked Xie Yan directly: "Where is it hurt?"
Xie Yan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I'm fine. It's important that Miss Shen quickly detoxifies the prince."
"I've taken the medicine, and now I'm free." Shen Tianshu ordered directly, "So don't waste time, hurry up."
"It's really okay." Xie Yan took two steps back.
Shen Tianshu reached out and pushed the person to sit on the chair, squatted down and rolled up Xie Yan's trouser leg, exposing his injured calf.
Xie Yan blushed furiously and tried her best to hide her injured leg.
Perhaps in order to escape the pursuit of the assailant, Xie Yan pulled a few strips of cloth from his clothes and randomly tied up the wound.
"Don't move!" Shen Tianshu raised his hand and slapped Xie Yan on the knee, then cut the cloth strip with scissors to expose the wound.
The wound on the calf was on the side and back, and the wound was very deep.
After untying the cloth strips, blood suddenly poured out.
"You're injured so badly and you still say it's okay!"
Shen Tianshu stood up, rummaged through the things Xie Yan bought, and found the mulberry thread and cattail powder that were originally intended for Li Zian.
Mulberry thread is the root bark of the mulberry tree. The surface layer is removed, leaving only the white and soft inner layer. It is a thin thread made by hammering.
The prepared mulberry bark will be as smooth and shiny as silk. When used, fumigate it on the mouth with boiling water and it will become as soft as new immediately.
It is used to suture wounds, is not easy to break, and has mild medicinal properties. It also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and promoting wound healing.
Shen Tianshu took the mulberry thread outside and smoked it on top of the medicine hanging. After it became soft again, he immediately went back to the room, threaded needles and threads, and prepared to suture Xie Yan's wound.
In order to facilitate the operation, she sat on a small bench, put a cloth towel on her knees, and put Xie Yan's injured leg on her knees.
Xie Yan's face was visibly red, and his ears and neck were slowly turning red.
But Shen Tianshu's left hand kept pressing his ankle, preventing him from moving at all.
"There is no medicine on hand that can relieve the pain. I will give you acupuncture first to try to alleviate some pain, but there will definitely still be some pain. You can bear with it."
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he inserted several silver needles into several acupuncture points around the wound very quickly.
I don't know if it was a real immediate effect or a psychological effect, but Xie Yan immediately felt that the wound seemed to be less painful than before.
In fact, for a secret guard like him who has been trained since childhood, injuries are a common occurrence.
In the past, when we were all trained together, no matter if it was a broken arm or leg, the injured would be dealt with randomly by oneself, and life or death would depend on the fate.
Only those who are truly capable, lucky, and lucky will stand out in the end.
After they officially became the secret guards of the Prince's Mansion, doctors began to help them treat their injuries and illnesses.
But everyone is used to living alone. As long as the injury is not fatal, most of them take care of it by themselves.
At this time, when he saw that Shen Tianshu, who was the legitimate daughter of the magistrate, actually put his injured leg on his lap without any disdain, and even cared about whether it would hurt.
This is a feeling that Xie Yan has never experienced since he was a child.
While he was thinking wildly, Shen Tianshu had already stitched up his wound quickly.
During the whole suturing process, Xie Yan did not move. Shen Tianshu couldn't help but said: "You can bear it quite well."
"This little pain is nothing."
After the wound was sutured, there was almost no bleeding. Shen Tianshu helped him wipe the area around the wound, sprinkled it with cattail powder to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and finally bandaged the wound with a clean cloth.
"Okay, remember to change the dressing every day and don't get it wet."
Just as Shen Tianshu was about to move Xie Yan's legs away from his knees, he heard Li Zian's voice coming from behind him.
"What are you doing!"
"Are you awake?" Shen Tianshu was quite surprised, but he carefully moved Xie Yan's injured leg away before getting up to see Li Zian's condition.
Li Zian's face was gray, with a hint of abnormal flushing, and he was looking at Shen Tianshu with a frown.
"Xie Yan went out to buy medicine, but he encountered danger again and injured his leg. I just gave him a few stitches. Fortunately, I bought the medicine and it is being boiled. You can hold on for a while."
Shen Tianshu saw that Li Zian's expression didn't look right, so he reached out and touched his forehead, and sure enough, he started to feel hot.
Those people haven't left yet?
Li Zian couldn't help but think about the background of the other party. Not only was he bold enough to attack him, but he also dared to stay in Yongzhou City to pursue Xie Yan.
But his head felt dizzy and he couldn't concentrate on thinking at all.
"Drink some hot water, and then take a rest!" Shen Tianshu brought a bowl of hot water over, "After taking the medicine, I will dig out the arrowhead and sew the wound for you. Your current condition is too bad. .”
Li Zian reluctantly took a few sips, then shook his head and said no.
Shen Tianshu didn't force him to drink more, after all, he would have to drink medicine soon.
By the time the medicine in the medicine bottle was boiled down to only a bowl and a half of water, more than seven and a half hours had passed since Li Zian was poisoned.
Shen Tianshu poured out the medicine anxiously and divided it evenly into two bowls.
Give one bowl to Li Zian for oral administration, dilute the other bowl with water, and keep it for a while to rinse the wound.
Fortunately, the antidote developed by Jiang Sui was very effective. After drinking the medicine, Li Zian's complexion gradually began to improve, and the gray color gradually faded away, leaving only a pale complexion and flushing caused by fever.
Shen Tianshu waited for half an hour, and estimated that the effect of the medicine had been fully exerted, and then started to prepare to treat the arrows and wounds on Li Zian's back.
She took out a small sharp dagger from the medicine box, burned it on the fire, and walked to Li Zian's side.
"Your Majesty, your wound was attacked by poison, and you just had an injection to stop the bleeding, so now you have no other choice but to resist."
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he rolled the clean white cloth into a roll and handed it to Li Zian for him to bite.
Li Zian said disdainfully: "I don't need this!"
Shen Tianshu placed the cloth roll on the table and started cutting along the arrow's barb.
"Well——"
As soon as the tip of the knife touched his skin, Li Zian couldn't help but groan.
"ah--"
As the tip of the knife penetrated deeper, the groan turned into an uncontrollable cry of pain.
Li Zian silently stretched out his hand, grabbed the cloth roll on the table, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it tightly!
