Chapter 261: Rescuing People
After saying that, everything went black and he collapsed to the ground.
Fang Xiaoxiao composed herself. Although her heart was filled with fear and doubt, her kind nature still drove her to step forward and check on Pei Changqing's injuries.
Fang Xiaoxiao was shocked to see the Second Prince's severely injured appearance.
After a brief moment of panic, she quickly regained her composure and rushed outside, shouting, "Jin Nian, Wen Jian, come and help!"
Before long, He Jinnian and Zhou Wenjian arrived after hearing the commotion.
He Jinnian gasped when he saw Pei Changqing lying unconscious in the room.
Zhou Wenjian quickly stepped forward to check Pei Changqing's injuries, his brows furrowed as he spoke.
"This injury is extremely serious and needs immediate treatment."
Fang Xiaoxiao quickly fetched some clean water, He Jinnian carefully cut open Pei Changqing's blood-stained clothes, and Zhou Wenjian prepared herbs and bandages.
Fang Xiaoxiao's hands trembled slightly as she handed the damp cloth to He Jinnian, who gently and quickly wiped away the blood around the wound.
Zhou Wenjian skillfully crushed the herbs while muttering to himself.
"This herb may not be rare, but it should be quite effective at stopping bleeding." As he spoke, he applied the crushed herb to Pei Changqing's wound.
He Jinnian pressed tightly on both sides of the wound to help stop the bleeding, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Fang Xiaoxiao anxiously handed over the necessary items, her eyes never leaving Pei Changqing's body for a moment.
Zhou Wenjian began to bandage Pei Changqing's wound, wrapping each bandage tightly but not too tightly, while constantly giving instructions.
"Gently, gently, don't touch the wound."
After a flurry of activity, Pei Changqing's wounds were finally treated.
All three of them breathed a long sigh of relief, but their expressions remained solemn, worried about whether Pei Changqing could survive this ordeal.
After treating the wound, Fang Xiaoxiao, He Jinnian, and Zhou Wenjian did not dare to relax for a moment and took turns guarding Pei Changqing's bedside.
As night deepened, a tense atmosphere filled the room.
Fang Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at Pei Changqing's pale face, silently praying that he would wake up soon.
He Jinnian paced back and forth, his brow furrowed, pondering the possible conspiracy behind Pei Changqing's assassination.
Zhou Wenjian leaned against the door frame, glancing into the room from time to time. He looked tired but forced himself to stay alert.
In the latter half of the night, Pei Changqing suddenly developed a fever, his forehead was burning hot, and he kept talking nonsense.
Fang Xiaoxiao hurriedly used a damp towel to wipe his forehead and cheeks, trying to lower his body temperature.
He Jinnian quickly went to brew the fever-reducing medicine again, while Zhou Wenjian brought cold water to apply a cold compress to Pei Changqing.
After much effort, Pei Changqing's body temperature finally dropped, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At dawn, Pei Changqing's fingers twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Fang Xiaoxiao was the first to notice and exclaimed in surprise.
"He's awake!"
He Jinnian and Zhou Wenli immediately surrounded them.
Pei Changqing's eyes were still somewhat dazed as he weakly asked.
"Where is this?"
Fang Xiaoxiao quickly answered.
"Second Prince, this is a private residence in the suburbs. You were injured and collapsed at my doorstep, so we rescued you."
Pei Changqing struggled to sit up, wanting to express his gratitude, but frowned because of the pain.
He Jinnian hurriedly said.
"Second Prince, do not move around. Your injuries are too severe and you need to recuperate properly."
Pei Changqing nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you all for saving me. I will repay this kindness in the future."
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from outside, and everyone immediately became alert...
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from outside, and everyone immediately became alert.
He Jinnian acted decisively, shielding Pei Changqing behind him, and said to Fang Xiaoxiao and Zhou Wenjian.
"Take good care of him, I'm going to check on him."
Having said that, he took his long sword and carefully walked towards the door.
As soon as the door opened, a group of men in black swarmed in. He Jinnian was fearless and engaged in a fierce fight with the men in black.
His swordsmanship was so fierce that for a time the man in black found it difficult to get close.
However, the men in black were numerous and each possessed exceptional martial arts skills. He Jinnian gradually became exhausted, and in a moment of carelessness, he was stabbed in the right arm by one of the men in black.
He endured the excruciating pain and continued fighting, but the situation became increasingly unfavorable.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Wenjian, who was inside the house, also picked up his weapon and rushed out to fight alongside He Jinnian.
Fang Xiaoxiao anxiously searched for something that could be used as a weapon, ready to provide support at any time.
Pei Changqing was extremely anxious and wanted to get up to help, but he was too injured to do so.
He Jinnian and Zhou Wenjian fought back fiercely, sustaining multiple injuries.
Just at this critical moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar. It turned out that Pei Changqing's reinforcements had arrived.
Seeing the situation was turning against them, the men in black quickly retreated. He Jinnian finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
The crowd quickly helped him into the house. Fang Xiaoxiao looked at his bloody wounds and couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
Everyone quickly helped He Jinnian into the house. Fang Xiaoxiao looked at his bloody wounds and couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
She quickly wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and had only one thought in her mind: she must save He Jinnian! Fang Xiaoxiao first asked Zhou Wenjian to help cut open He Jinnian's shirt, revealing the hideous wound.
The wound was so deep that you could almost see the bone, and blood was still gushing out.
Fang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and began to get busy.
She first lit the stove and boiled a pot of water to sterilize all the utensils that might be used at high temperature.
Then, she found some hemostatic herbs that she had treasured at home and carefully washed them clean.
Fang Xiaoxiao returned to He Jinnian's side and gently wiped away the bloodstains and dirt around the wound with a clean gauze dipped in boiling water.
Each touch caused He Jinnian to tremble slightly with pain, but he clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Fang Xiao felt a pang of heartache and her movements became even gentler.
Next, she placed the washed herbs in a mortar and pestle and crushed them with all her might.
The juices of the herbs mixed with her sweat and dripped onto the ground.
After preparing the herbs, Fang Xiaoxiao carefully applied them to He Jinnian's wound and then wrapped it with a clean bandage.
During the bandaging process, Fang Xiaoxiao's fingers became a little stiff due to nervousness, but she still tried her best to keep steady, afraid of hurting He Jinnian.
Her gaze was focused and determined, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
After treating the wound, Fang Xiaoxiao immediately went to brew a soup to replenish her qi and blood.
She stood guard by the stove, constantly stirring the medicinal soup in the pot, her eyes never leaving it for a moment.
After the medicine was brewed, Fang Xiaoxiao carefully carried it to He Jinnian's bedside, gently helped him sit up, and fed him the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
