After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Si Jiu opened his mouth several times wanting to tell Wen Baizhi the reason behind this.

He was particularly frightened by her cold eyes and the way she stepped back to prevent him from touching her.

It was even more painful than any punishment he had ever suffered before.

But every time he opened his mouth, he swallowed his words back.

He really didn't know how to say it.

Wen Baizhi didn't really want to be angry with him.

What's more, he had just come out of the palace and looked obviously unhappy.

But he was clearly hiding something from her.

Even though her words were so serious, he still didn't say anything.

Now Wen Baizhi was sure that there must be something very important behind this.

Judging from Si Jiu's personality, this matter must be related to her.

Otherwise he wouldn't keep silent in front of her.

So at this moment, even though Wen Baizhi had softened her heart and was no longer angry, she already wanted to hug him.

But she endured it.

Si Jiu must take this step.

For the rest of the journey, the two of them kept this distance and were not as close as usual.

The same is true when getting off the bus.

Wen Baizhi got out of the car first.

Si Jiu followed very slowly because of his leg pain.

But after entering the Governor's Mansion, Wen Baizhi remembered that before leaving, she had moved her things to Si Jiu's room.

But now she was angry and she couldn't stay in the same room with him anymore.

So she walked straight to the yard where she used to live in front of Si Jiu.

However, Cuizhi, who was following behind, looked confused.

But she didn't dare to say anything, and just followed Wen Baizhi back to the original yard.

Si Jiu watched her back as she left without any hesitation, and stretched out his hand where she couldn't see, trying to keep a trace of her shadow.

But she still disappeared before his eyes.

With Ping'an's support, Si Jiu returned to his room in a daze.

After helping him sit down safely beside the bed, Ping An asked, "Master Du, you don't look well. Do you need to call Doctor Rong?"

At this moment, Si Jiu didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only shake his head weakly.

After all, Ping'an has been with him for three years, and he knows that Si Jiu is trying to drive him away.

He bowed and left.

When Si Jiu was the only one left in the room, he realized how happy he had been with Wen Baizhi.

He, who was used to being alone, felt so uncomfortable at this moment.

He felt very tired.

The pain that he had deliberately ignored at that time now came over him, and he couldn't even sit still because of the pain.

Si Jiu lay on his back.

He wanted to find Wen Baizhi, but, even if he found her, how could he tell her?

Si Jiu lay down and realized that the quilt on his bed, which should have been neatly folded, was now in a mess.

It was obvious that someone had slept with her.

But this is his room and his bed, and the only one who can sleep in his bed and cover himself with his quilt is Wen Baizhi.

Si Jiuteng stood up and walked to the middle of the room on his numb legs.

The items belonging to Wen Baizhi once again filled his room.

Her trunk, her comb, her jewelry box.

Her everything.

In other words, after returning home today, she asked someone to move all her things here.

She made up her mind to stay with him forever.

But what about him?

What did he do.

Even after she had said that to him, he still didn't tell her the truth behind it.

He knew that she was Wen Bai's affair, and he was afraid that Qi Yan'an would know that she was Wen Bai's affair, and so on.

He should have told her.

She is also a player in the game, so there is no reason for her not to know how the game is arranged.

Si Jiu only hated himself for waking up too late.

He pushed open the door, and Ping'an, who was still waiting outside, was startled to see him come out.

"Master Du, it's so late, do you have any instructions?"

Si Jiu's mind was full of wanting to see Wen Baizhi as soon as possible: "I want to go to the Madam."

Ping An said hurriedly, "Okay, I will light the lamp for you and take you to the Madam."

He was frightened when Wen Baizhi and Si Jiu got off the carriage with grim expressions and returned to their rooms.

As far as he could remember, the Dugong and his wife were rarely separated.

He was still worried. If the two of them really had a conflict, how would he find Cuizhi?

Now that's good, the governor is going to find his wife.

If he is unhappy, who will be happy?

The snow was still falling, and the light looked very dim in the snow.

The lighting was bad and Si Jiu's leg injury was aggravating, so he fell several times.

The hem of my clothes was soaked.

But he always gritted his teeth, got up and kept moving forward.

When there was only one more turn left before reaching Wen Baizhi's courtyard, a young eunuch called him from behind.

"Lord Governor, I have finally found you. His Majesty has sent Eunuch Li Qing to the Governor's Mansion to look for you. He is following me now."

Si Jiu turned around stiffly: "Do you know why Eunuch Li is here?"

The young eunuch said nervously, "I don't know. I just saw that Eunuch Li must have brought the imperial edict, and there were many people following him."

Si Jiu looked at Wen Baizhi's yard which was so close.

Then I thought of Li Qing who was about to arrive here.

"Come with me and wait for Eunuch Li in front. Go and take Eunuch Li to the front hall."

Li Qing must have come at this time with Qi Yan'an's order.

We can't let Qi Yan'an become suspicious at this time.

He had to deal with Li Qing first before going to find Wen Baizhi.

Si Jiu went to the front hall without even having time to change his wet clothes.

Li Qing was sitting in a chair waiting for him with a cup of hot tea.

Seeing him arrive, Li Qing put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Superintendent, you are polite."

Si Jiu asked him to sit down, and he sat down too: "It's so late and snowing so heavily, I wonder what important matter did Eunuch Li come here for?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "You don't know, Governor. I didn't want to make this trip either, but His Majesty was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well, so he hurriedly sent a servant to deliver the order."

Si Jiu frowned slightly, knowing that it was definitely not a good thing.

"I wonder what the purpose of His Majesty's sending Eunuch Li to deliver is?"

Li Qing cleared his throat, took the imperial edict from the person behind him, and Si Jiu knelt down.

"Your Majesty has issued an oral order. The heavy snow in Kyoto has seriously affected the lives of the people. I have specially ordered Si Jiu to lead people to the city and the main official roads outside the city to clear the snow and provide assistance to the people affected by the snowstorm. We must not cause public resentment."

Si Jiu raised his hands above his head, took the imperial edict, and said, "Your servant Si Jiu accepts the order and will fulfill the mission."

Seeing him take the imperial edict, Li Qing hurried to help him up: "Normally, you just came back from Jinzhou, and your majesty should let you rest for a few more days, but the snow is falling so fast and heavily. Your majesty believes in your ability to handle things, so your majesty is really worried about handing this matter over to someone else besides you. I hope you can understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Si Jiu ignored his flattery and only asked, "Did your majesty tell me when I should leave?"

Li Qing said nervously, "His Majesty said that this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. His Majesty has specially sent people from the palace's Dragon Guard to help you, Lord Governor. They are waiting outside Lord Governor's Mansion for you to lead them out."

Sure enough.

Si Jiu knew that he had no choice but to follow Li Qing.

Li Qing added: "Don't worry, Lord Governor. It's too late tonight. Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will send a royal doctor to treat your wife. We will make sure that you don't have to worry about anything when you are away. Please rest assured and leave your wife to us to take care of her."

It turns out that this was Qi Yan'an's plan.

He deliberately sent Si Jiu away at this time, so that he could take the opportunity to find out Wen Baizhi's background and let Si Jiu go out to suffer. For Qi Yan'an, it was simply the best of both worlds.

It is truly the heart of an emperor.

Si Jiu had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty is wise."

The next day, after Wen Baizhi woke up, she learned that Si Jiu had been sent by His Majesty to deal with the snow disaster last night.
