After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Rong Heng also took Si Jiu's pulse before leaving.

He judged that if he drank more water today, if his water intake increased, the stone would be expelled through urination by tonight at the latest.

After saying this, he left with ease.

Wen Baizhi was left guarding Si Jiu with extreme nervousness.

Sometimes I told him to drink water.

Although Si Jiu was blind, the water that accidentally overflowed from the corner of her mouth was licked away by her.

After a while, he nervously asked Si Jiu if he felt anything down there and if he wanted to urinate.

After several rounds, she was not tired, but Si Jiu looked tired.

"Baizhi, why don't you sit down and take a rest first? I'm worried that you are too anxious and too tired."

Finally, Si Jiu grabbed Wen Baizhi who was walking back and forth in front of him and expressed his concerns.

Wen Baizhi was pulled by him and sat next to him: "I'm not tired, I'm just worried that something might happen to you, and if you don't tell me in time, you'll be the one who suffers."

After all, the fact that he was in such a serious situation this time was entirely caused by himself.

So Wen Baizhi was very nervous.

Si Jiu held her wrist and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you immediately if anything happens this time."

Wen Baizhi believed him to some extent.

And she was ready not to leave until Si Jiu was fully recovered this time.

He is right under his nose, so there will definitely be no mistakes.

But nothing in this world can be taken for granted.

When Cuizhi suddenly appeared outside the tent, Wen Baizhi was startled.

Because Cuizhi was left in the Governor's Mansion by her as her substitute, staying in the room, hiding on the bed with the curtains drawn, to deal with those who had ulterior motives.

Her appearance at this time must have meant something happened in the Governor's Mansion.

Another person who was surprised by her arrival was Ping An.

Ping'an was pouring water on the left and holding the stove on the right, fearing that Cuizhi would feel uncomfortable.

After all, although the road has been cleared urgently and is much easier to walk on, it is still extremely slippery, making it difficult to travel.

To prevent Si Jiu from thinking too much, Wen Baizhi deliberately asked Si Jiu to stay in her tent while she went out to meet Cuizhi.

When she saw Cuizhi, the first thing she asked was whether she was injured anywhere while traveling.

Then he asked Cuizhi if something happened in the Governor's Mansion and she came here.

Cuizhi told Wen Baizhi the purpose of her visit.

It turned out that before Wen Baizhi left the Governor's Mansion that day, Huang Zheng had already diagnosed that Wen Baizhi's illness had been cured, but she just needed more rest.

That's why Wen Baizhi let Cuizhi take her place and went out to find Si Jiu herself.

But after Huang Zheng left, Li Qing came again.

Li Qing came with Qi Yan'an's order.

He was considerate of Wen Baizhi who was recuperating from illness and allowed her not to get out of bed to receive the order.

That's why Cuizhi didn't reveal her identity all at once.

The decree that Li Qing brought was roughly that Si Jiu and Wen Baizhi had made great contributions to the treatment of smallpox for the local people when they were in Jinzhou, so they should be rewarded.

Even Wen Baizhi was to be awarded the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine.

Wen Baizhi was ordered to go to the palace in three days to receive the reward.

Cuizhi could pretend to be Wen Baizhi in the Governor's Mansion regardless of the danger, but she really couldn't go to the palace.

That's why she hurried over to find Wen Baizhi and tell her about it.

Wen Baizhi held the teacup that had already gone cold in her hand.

She was also thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Entering the palace means that I will definitely meet Qi Yanan, whom I haven't seen for three years.

Of course she was not afraid of meeting Qi Yanan, because she was no longer Wen Bai.

She is a Wen Baizhi who has nothing to do with Wen Bai.

She just still had a grudge against Si Jiu for being in a daze after coming out of the palace that day, but refusing to explain the reason to her.

It wasn't that she had an objection to Si Jiu's concealment, but she was still worried that Si Jiu was hiding something from her, and it might even be related to Qi Yan'an.

That's why he didn't tell her at that time, even though he risked her misunderstanding and getting angry with him.

So if she wants to meet Qi Yanan now, she must have a good discussion with Si Jiu.

There are still three days.

The most urgent task is to get Si Jiu to expel the stones in his body first.

Otherwise, if he left her, she was afraid that Si Jiu would have no one to hug and cry to.

Ping'an was worried when Cuizhi left.

He found Wen Baizhi and said that he hoped to send Cuizhi back home and bring some necessary things to Si Jiu.

Wen Baizhi felt that this was the best of both worlds.

After praising Ping An, he watched them both leave.

When she returned to Si Jiu's tent, she just lifted the curtain and saw Si Jiu accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table.

Although the conditions here are simple, there is only mud on the ground.

But the teacup still made a shattering sound when it fell to the ground.

Si Jiu, who was covered with a veil and couldn't see anything, was startled by the loud noise and stood there in a daze.

Before Wen Baizhi came in to help him, Si Jiu bent down to pick up the broken pieces himself.

"Zi Jin."

When seeing that Si Jiu's hand was about to be scratched by the fragments, Wen Baizhi shouted his name loudly on the spot.

But this sound not only did not stop Si Jiu's actions, but instead acted like a speed-up button.

Si Jiu's originally slow movements of his hands suddenly became faster.

He even knelt on the ground due to exhaustion, and moved his hands quickly left and right in front of him, trying to pick up the fragments.

Wen Baizhi picked up her clothes and hurried towards him.

Before she arrived, she saw that Si Jiu's hand was scratched by the debris.

She didn't dare to speak again, for fear of scaring him again.

She just reached out her hand carefully when she came in front of him, trying to help him up.

But just as her hand touched Si Jiu's moving arm, Si Jiu trembled all over as if he had been electrocuted.

"Zi Jin." Wen Baizhi was very worried when she saw his reaction.

But Si Jiu seemed unable to hear.

At this moment, he just felt like a useless person who could not accomplish anything.

At the same time that Cuizhi brought the news to Wen Baizhi, Si Jiu's secret agent who had been left in the Governor's Mansion also passed the news to him.

Because Si Jiu knew how important Cuizhi was to Wen Baizhi, he always asked the secret agent to protect Cuizhi's safety.

So the hidden line came here following Cuizhi.

In other words, he knew the news that Qi Yan'an was going to summon her into the palace in three days almost at the same time as Wen Baizhi.

Still can't avoid it?

Is this his destined fate?

Si Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, but before the corners of his mouth could even curl up, he put it down in self-mockery.

Wen Baizhi saw all these changes in his expression.

It was clear that Si Jiu was fine before she left.

So something must have happened to Si Jiu during the time she was away.

Si Jiu was still kneeling there, blood oozing from his palms.

Wen Baizhi knew that she couldn't let him remain depressed like this any longer.

She also knelt down, facing Si Jiu.

"If you like staying here, then I will kneel here with you. If you don't get up, I won't get up either. I mean what I say."
