After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

"Why did he leave so suddenly?" Wen Baizhi was sitting in front of the mirror, Cuizhi stood behind her and massaged her temples.

Her head was still a little dizzy from lack of sleep.

It wasn't just Si Jiu who wasn't used to being alone last night; it was also her.

Wen Baizhi had long been accustomed to holding Si Jiu when she went to bed at night, so she stayed in bed all night until almost dawn before she fell asleep.

"I don't know. A little eunuch said that it was Eunuch Li Qing who was beside His Majesty last night who came to announce the decree. He even brought the Dragon Guards outside and waited for the Governor to set off together."

Wen Baizhi didn't expect that Qi Yan'an would be so anxious last night.

"Did the governor leave any message for me before he left?"

Cuizhi shook her head: "It seems that the governor left in a hurry, and only took Ping'an with him. I didn't know that the governor had left. It's just that Ping'an came to me every morning to ask me what I wanted for breakfast. This morning he didn't come, so he sent a young eunuch to look for me. Then I knew that they left very early."

"Is he leaving in such a hurry?" Wen Baizhi raised her hand to signal Cuizhi not to press anymore. "If Ping'an has also left, the eunuch he sent to deliver the message to you must be trustworthy. How about this, you go find that eunuch and ask him to find out where Sijiu has gone. After you tell me the result, I will think about the rest."

Cuizhi agreed.

Breakfast was already on the table.

But Wen Baizhi went to bed late yesterday and had a headache when she woke up this morning, so she naturally had no appetite.

"I don't want to eat anymore. Since Sijiu is not in the house, I will go back to sleep for a while. Please call me if anyone wants to see me."

Cuizhi went to help her make the bed again, and Wen Baizhi curled up in the quilt and began to feel sleepy.

Cuizhi had already left the room quietly.

Wen Baizhi lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.

She got angry when she thought of what Cuizhi had just said, that before Ping'an left, she actually found a young eunuch to explain the situation to her.

Why didn’t Si Jiu find someone to talk to her?

Is it that urgent?

Are you so anxious that you can't even leave a single word behind?

The more Wen Baizhi thought about it, the angrier she became, especially since they were still in a cold war when they separated.

Now, when I wake up, the person is gone.

She sat up angrily and pounded the quilt several times as if to vent her anger.

Just then, Cuizhi's timid voice and a knock on the door were heard outside the door.

"Miss, are you asleep?"

Wen Baizhi subconsciously adjusted her hair and said, "No, is there anyone looking for me?"

She actually vaguely expected it to be Si Jiu, or someone from Si Jiu's faction.

Cuizhi said, "Miss, it's Doctor Rong who is here. He said he has something to discuss with you in person."

Why is it Rong Heng’s?

Shouldn't Si Jiu bring Rong Heng with him when he goes out this time?

His ugly face was still reflected in front of Wen Baizhi's eyes. He was obviously feeling very uncomfortable at that time.

Wen Baizhi turned over and got out of bed: "Let him in."

After getting permission, Cuizhi pushed the door and brought Rongheng in.

Rong Heng came with a medicine box.

Wen Baizhi asked him to sit down: "I wonder if Doctor Rong came to me so early in the morning for some urgent matter?"

Rong Heng directly stated his purpose: "I need you to cooperate with me to do something."

Wen Baizhi saw that he was very nervous and asked, "What's the matter? You look very nervous."

Of course Rong Heng was very nervous.

"We have been friends for a lifetime in Jinzhou, so I will tell you straight out. It was Si Jiu who sent someone to find me and told me to find a way to make you look like you have smallpox."

Wen Baizhi felt that she must not have woken up yet, otherwise why wouldn't she understand what Rong Heng said.

"What does this mean? I don't understand it. Why do you make me look like I have smallpox?"

Rong Heng explained, "Si Jiu said that His Majesty should send a royal doctor to treat you soon, and he said in front of His Majesty that you have smallpox, so when the royal doctor comes, you must look and behave like you have smallpox."

Wen Baizhi was even more confused: "But I clearly don't have smallpox. Why would Si Jiu lie to His Majesty and ask you to help him cover up his lie?"

Rong Heng was also puzzled by this: "I don't know either. I only know that I was woken up early in the morning. I was reading a medical book yesterday but was woken up in the middle of the night. I was also asked to do such an incredible thing. But since it was arranged by Si Jiu, I think he must have his reasons."

Wen Baizhi naturally believed that Si Jiu would not harm her.

Si Jiu is the kind of person who would rather hurt himself than hurt her at all.

Wen Baizhi was absolutely sure of this.

But the timing is too delicate.

First, Si Jiu went to the palace to see Qi Yanan, and after coming back, he kept silent about what happened to her.

Then he left in a hurry to deal with the snowstorm, and she had to pretend to have smallpox, and Rong Heng had to assist her.

There was a vague thread in Wen Baizhi's mind that connected all these things together, but she just couldn't find the beginning.

Thinking too much makes my head hurt even more.

She simply stopped thinking about it.

"In that case, let's follow his instructions. I just don't know how Dr. Rong can make me, a healthy person, look like I have smallpox."

Rong Heng showed a mysterious smile: "You underestimate me. I naturally have my own methods."

Soon Wen Baizhi knew what method Rong Heng was talking about.

I don't know where he got the prescription from, but he boiled two bowls of medicine and sent them over.

"After drinking this bowl of medicine, your whole body will feel hot, and your pulse will feel like you have a fever."

Rong Heng pointed to another bowl of medicine and said, "If you drink this bowl of medicine, you will get red bumps all over your body, just like the smallpox. If you add this to your high fever, it can almost be determined that you have smallpox."

Wen Baizhi covered her nose and looked at the two bowls of medicine in front of her: "Are you sure this medicine is drinkable?"

Rong Heng raised his voice and said, "Of course, you don't believe in my medical skills."

Of course, Wen Baizhi didn't mean that: "That's not what I meant. I just think you are amazing. Not only can you cure diseases, but you can also create diseases."

Rong Heng said: "You sound like you are praising me, but when I listen carefully, it sounds like you are mocking me."

Wen Baizhi waved her hands repeatedly: "I didn't, I was really praising you for your good medical skills."

Rong Heng stopped dwelling on this question and continued, "After drinking this medicine, although you won't really get sick, you will still feel a little uncomfortable. You should be mentally prepared."

Wen Baizhi didn't say anything, just picked up the medicine and drank it.

But after drinking it, his whole face wrinkled up: "Why are the medicines you prepared so bitter, whether they are for curing diseases or causing them? I am now somewhat glad that Si Jiu has no sense of taste, otherwise I would be killed by the bitterness of your medicines."

Rong Heng touched his nose and said, "Let's not talk about this. I can't make a medicine to make you have pimples on your face, so you need to wear a veil to cover your face and say that you have pimples on your face, okay?"

Wen Baizhi nodded: "I've written it all down."
