Wanruo hurriedly squatted down to support him, and he leaned forward and fell weakly on her shoulder.
The imperial guards rushed forward and restrained the bandit leader, finally controlling the situation.
"Hurry, help him get in the car!"
The carriage was harnessed and a guard came over to help him get on. Wanruo was about to let go when she found that he was holding her wrist tightly and had no intention of letting go at all.
Wanruo had no choice but to follow him into the car.
"Is there any medicine for wounds?" Wanruo asked the accompanying imperial guards.
"some."
The imperial guards immediately brought some hemostatic medicine. Wanruo first sprinkled the medicine on his wound to stop the bleeding, and then covered his wound with a brocade handkerchief.
The crossbow arrow had penetrated his left shoulder, and he had to wait until he returned home to remove the arrow, which was inconvenient in the bumpy car.
Xie Xiuzhu rushed over and was shocked to see Xie Xianyu's left shoulder stained red with blood: "Big brother, what happened?"
"He is injured and must return home immediately."
Xie Xiuzhu nodded hurriedly and got on the carriage.
The carriage immediately set off back home. Xie Xianyu lay on her legs, his face gradually losing color. He closed his eyes drowsily and had passed out.
But his hand still held her wrist tightly, not relaxing for a moment.
Xie Xiuzhu was also stunned when she suddenly saw her brother holding Xu Wanruo's hand tightly.
Wanruo lowered her eyes feeling a little guilty: "I just helped him stop the bleeding, and he was probably unconscious and confused, so he suddenly grabbed me and wouldn't let go."
Others wouldn't believe this, but Xie Xiuzhu would. She nodded and said, "Big brother is not sober, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite."
Finally, they returned to the mansion, changed into a sedan chair and carried him directly back to Songhe Garden. During this time, Xie Xianyu never let go of his hand, and Wanruo couldn't pry it open!
Wei Weiqing'an had ridden his horse to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician earlier, so when they came back, the imperial physician was already waiting in the room.
The imperial physician examined his injuries and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the wound wasn't to a vital part, and the bleeding was stopped in time. As long as the arrow is extracted smoothly, everything will be fine."
As he spoke, the imperial physician looked at Wanruo and Xie Xiuzhu and said, "I am going to remove the arrow from Lord Xie now. You two ladies, please step aside for now."
Xie Xiuzhu nodded and left immediately.
Wanruo moved her wrist, and he tightened his grip. She looked at the imperial physician awkwardly, and he coughed lightly, "Then you stay and give me a hand."
"good."
The imperial physician cut open the collar of his shirt, cleaned the wound again, applied some hemostatic medicine, and asked Wanruo to press the wound with a cloth. The imperial physician then hooked the arrow of the crossbow with a rope, exerted force suddenly, and pulled the crossbow arrow out in one go.
Blood splattered, and Wanruo immediately took a towel to press the wound.
Xie Xianyu groaned, and although his eyes were still tightly closed, his brows were slightly furrowed in pain, and his grip on her fingers tightened.
Wanruo patted his hand soothingly: "It's okay."
He just calmed down.
The imperial physician worked seriously to stop the bleeding and clean the wound. Only when he saw the bleeding had stopped did he breathe a sigh of relief and bandaged the wound with gauze.
Wanruo helped him change his bloodstained clothes.
At this time, the Xie family also learned the news that Xie Xiuzhu had returned safely and rushed over.
"Xiuzhu!" The eldest lady hugged Xie Xiuzhu tightly in her arms and burst into tears: "I was scared to death, my Xiuzhu, are you hurt?"
"No, I was captured by bandits yesterday. Luckily, Wanruo protected me the whole time. She took me away and we hid in Jiuchuan Mountain all night until my elder brother came to rescue us."
The eldest lady nodded excitedly: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
