The two servants immediately pressed him firmly onto the bed.
Wanruo used great force, stuffed a cloth into his mouth for him to bite, and used a red-hot knife to cut off his rotten flesh.
The man was shaking with pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let out a scream.
Wanruo said as she cut his flesh: "Fortunately, he's rich. When he wakes up, I can have him repair his books and send him money. I can also ask for more medical expenses."
Shitou immediately said, "Of course, this is not just an ordinary medical fee. This is a life-saving favor for the young lady. Asking for three to five hundred taels of silver is not too much!"
The man, whose face was already pale, struggled to open his eyes and saw a blurry figure. The pain had blurred his consciousness. He could not remember what she looked like, he only vaguely saw that she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, her pair of almond-shaped eyes were as calm as water, cool and refreshing.
Half an hour later, Wanruo had treated his wounds. He had eight knife wounds on his body, but only one was truly fatal. It was close to his heart. If it had moved an inch further, he would have died long ago.
"You take care of him. I'll bring him some medicine later."
Wanruo washed her hands and gave instructions to Shitou.
"yes."
The man was in a coma for a day and a night before he finally woke up.
The next day, Wanruo had just finished her work in the shop and went to the guest room to check on him. When she pushed the door open, she found that he was already awake.
There was no trace of blood on his pale face, his lips were also pale, but his eyes were slightly sharp.
"Are you awake?" Wanruo placed the bowl of medicine beside his bed.
"You saved me." The man's breath was weak.
"Yes, I saw you lying on the side of the road covered in blood, so I brought you back to the capital. You're too badly injured now, and it's hard to move. Do you want to write a letter and ask your family to come pick you up?"
The man nodded gently: "Thank you, young lady. I came to Beijing to visit my relatives. Unfortunately, I was attacked by bandits on the way. I have relatives and friends in Beijing."
"That's perfect. Which family is it? I'll have someone deliver the letter for you."
"Zhang's Embroidery Shop."
"May I have your name?"
The man looked at her and spoke slowly: "Li Jingzhao."
Wanruo then asked Shitou to run: "You can go now."
"yes!"
The stone fell and ran away.
Wanruo still stood there, hinting at him, "When we found you, you were nearly dead. It took a lot of effort to save you. We also used a lot of elixirs and rare medicinal herbs to save you."
He looked into her clear eyes and smiled slightly: "Miss, I will definitely reward you handsomely for saving my life."
Wanruo smiled with relief and handed him the medicine bowl: "Then you can rest assured and recuperate."
Less than half an hour later, the owner of Zhang's Embroidery Shop came hurriedly.
"I heard that my little one is here?"
Wanruo was busy in the main hall and nodded: "It's in the guest room on the left. Please go and see him."
"Thank you so much!"
Shopkeeper Zhang hurried over, pushed the door open, and seeing the man on the bed, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but he stopped himself for fear of alerting the enemy, and could only lower his voice: "Your Highness was on a diplomatic mission to the Western Zhou Dynasty, how could he be injured like this?!"
Li Jingzhao glanced outside the door and said weakly, "It was probably someone from Beiliang who wanted me to die in Xizhou, killing two birds with one stone. Send someone to investigate. They haven't found my body yet, so I'm afraid they're still lingering over there."
"yes!"
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated: "Then it's not appropriate for Your Highness to stay here..."
"It's okay, just keep it private. You can check the details of this clinic."
Li Jingzhao paused, then said, "Prepare another 1,000 taels of silver and send it over."
"yes."
Outside, Shitou Xing and Wanruo lowered their voices and said, "She's actually a relative of Zhang's Embroidery Shop. That shows she's really rich. Zhang's Embroidery Shop is doing really well. All the new clothes and dresses in Beijing are made by them. And Shopkeeper Zhang seems to be very fond of this person. She almost fell off her shoes running on the way here."
As she was speaking, she saw Su Yue leading a big maid in. Wanruo recognized her at a glance. This was Princess Xuan's person.
"Miss Bai." Cai Lian walked in and bowed.
"But what instructions does the princess have?" Wanruo received politely.
Cai Lian lowered her voice and said, "The princess is not feeling well. I heard that the young lady is a very skilled doctor and a female doctor, so it would be convenient for her to diagnose the illness. So I asked this servant to come and invite the young lady to come to the mansion."
Wanruo frowned, "How could the princess suddenly become ill? She was fine the last time I saw her."
Cai Lian looked a little embarrassed: "I just got burned accidentally..."
Wanruo saw her embarrassment and did not ask any more questions. For merchants like them, the best thing they could rely on was to get the favor of the noble lady. Besides, Princess Xuan had helped her out last time, so she naturally would not refuse.
"I'll be right there."
-
Songhe Garden.
Fu Xian came in hurriedly: "Xiaozi."
Xie Xianyu was reading the file without even looking up. Fu Xian came to report to him about Xu Wanruo's situation every two days. Every day he was either watching over the shop or managing it. His ears were callused from listening to him.
Fu Xian began to count down the daily account as usual: "My cousin went to Lincheng to purchase goods yesterday, signed a one-day contract with a boss, and returned to the city this afternoon. On the way back, she saved someone, and then she was sitting in the shop again today..."
Xie Xianyu suddenly looked up: "Saved someone? Who?"
"Yes, he looked like he had been robbed by bandits and was dying. My cousin was kind-hearted and rescued him. He seemed to be a relative of Zhang's Embroidery Shop, a man in his early teens."
Xie Xianyu sneered, "She's kind-hearted, picking up all sorts of random things and bringing them home."
Fu Xian was stunned. Why did Mi Zi suddenly get angry?
"Where is she now?"
Fu Xian immediately got down to business: "She's at Prince Xuan's Mansion now. Princess Xuan's maid came to invite her."
Xie Xianyu's eyes narrowed slightly as he stood up. "Prepare my horse for the journey to Prince Xuan's mansion."
Qing'an, who was guarding outside, was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't you just say you were too lazy to go to Prince Xuan's Mansion? I have already refused..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue, and he changed the subject: "I'll go get the horse ready right away."
