After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Chapter 156 Two People Entering the Palace to See the Emperor

Finally, no matter how reluctant you are, you will reach your destination.

When Si Jiu got off the car, he staggered a few times.

It was Wen Baizhi's quick eyes and hands that caught him and prevented him from falling.

"Zijin, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Baizhi wanted to ask him this question when they were in the carriage.

Si Jiu shook his head palely: "I'm fine, let's go in."

There was a little eunuch guarding here, waiting to take them in.

"Master, please follow me."

Wen Baizhi followed him and took Si Jiu into the imperial palace after not seeing it for three years.

It seemed as if the scene of himself receiving orders to go to war in the hall three years ago was still in front of his eyes.

At that time, Qi Yan'an found her and said that he hoped she could marry him and be his only queen.

But let’s not talk about the fact that Wen Baizhi had no feelings for Qi Yan’an at all at that time.

She couldn't accept the fact that he was the emperor.

So what if she is the queen? She still has to share a man with so many other women.

She, Wen Baizhi, could not do such a generous thing.

But Qi Yan'an is the emperor after all, and no one in this dynasty dares to disobey his orders.

At that time, the Wen family had already been targeted by Qi Yan'an because of their outstanding military achievements.

For this reason, Wen's father also came to her, and implicitly expressed the hope that she could reconsider the matter of becoming the queen.

So she ran to the restaurant to drink and got drunk.

Si Jiu, who came after hearing the news, found him.

She took advantage of her drunkenness to tell Si Jiu about her dilemma.

She didn't want to get married, and she especially didn't want to marry Qi Yan'an.

She just wanted to ride the horse freely and do whatever she wanted.

But she had no reason to refuse Qi Yan'an.

So Si Jiu made the first decision for himself in his life.

It was also a decision he would definitely not regret.

That was to quickly make a marriage contract with her and break Qi Yanan's heart.

It was from that time that Qi Yanan began to bear a grudge against Si Jiu.

This hatred has lasted for so many years and has never stopped.

When they returned to reality from their memories, they also reached their destination.

Wen Baizhi looked up at the extremely familiar palace and felt inexplicably irritated.

Qi Yanan is really annoying. I am not even familiar with Wen Bai, but I still have to be bothered by him.

Li Qing had been waiting outside the hall, just waiting to take the two of them in.

As soon as he saw the two of them arrive, Li Qing hurriedly went to greet them: "Oh, I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long, and finally Madam Wen is here."

Wen Baizhi bowed politely to Li Qing.

Li Qing quickly pretended to be flattered: "Oh, Madam Wen, this is really embarrassing me. Please go in quickly. His Majesty is waiting for you two inside."

Because Si Jiu's eyes have not recovered yet, he wore a veil over his eyes today.

But when Li Qing saw Si Jiu like this, he was not surprised or asked any questions.

It can be seen that they all knew things that Si Jiu could not see.

Qi Yan'an's hands really stretched out very long.

Wen Baizhi felt that he was becoming more annoying.

Li Qing turned around and led them forward.

Wen Baizhi silently supported Si Jiu and followed behind him.

She knew that there was one rule that must always be followed in the palace.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. It’s no mistake to say nothing.

So that's what she would do today.

Don't speak unless necessary.

Although Si Jiu, who was standing by, didn't show it on his face, his back was already soaked.

He was nervous and uneasy.

But he also knew that what was coming would eventually come.

He can't avoid it.

Until she entered the hall, Wen Baizhi felt more and more uncomfortable.

She vaguely felt as if there was something here that belonged to her.

But she couldn't get it.

Stepping into the last door, Qi Yan'an, who was sitting in the middle above and had not been seen for three years, appeared in front of Wen Baizhi.

Although Si Jiu couldn't see, he was impressed by every step here.

Therefore, he also knew that he had arrived in front of Qi Yanan.

As usual, he lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground.

Wen Baizhi knelt down as well upon seeing this.

Then Si Jiu kowtowed to the ground very humbly.

"I, your servant and my wife, have come to see Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with great fortune and may your kingdom last forever."

Wen Baizhi also kowtowed, her eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look anywhere else.

This was not the first time Qi Yanan had met Wen Baizhi.

When the marriage was arranged for Si Jiu, he had met Wen Baizhi.

Although Wen Baizhi looked just as delicate as she does now.

But for some reason, Qi Yan'an felt that Wen Baizhi now seemed a little strange, yet a little familiar.

"Stand up," he said.

Si Jiu stood up first, followed by Wen Baizhi.

Qi Yanan said: "Si Dugong rushed to the outside of the city to deal with the snow disaster after returning from Jinzhou. He handled the snow disaster very well and did not cause too much panic among the people. I want to commend you."

Hearing this, Si Jiu knelt down in fear again: "Everything is due to your majesty's wise decision. I am only doing my duty under your majesty's guidance. I really dare not take credit for myself. Please don't reward me, otherwise it will really embarrass me."

Wen Baizhi saw Si Jiu kneeling so accustomed to it and so smoothly, and gradually understood why his knees would never heal completely.

If it were the Qi Yanan of the past, he would definitely be satisfied with Si Jiu's conventional answer.

But for some reason today, he just felt uncomfortable.

"No matter how good my decision is, it still needs someone to execute it. Si Dugong and Dacheng have made great contributions. If I don't reward them, I don't know how the people and those ministers will talk about me behind my back."

Si Jiu bowed his head again.

The sound of this kowtow was much louder than the previous one.

Wen Baizhi felt pain just listening to it.

"Your Majesty, I just said something wrong. It would be an honor for me to receive your praise. I am a disabled person, but I can still serve you. It is all thanks to your kindness. Thank you very much."

He then kowtowed three times.

His face was expressionless when he stood up.

But Wen Baizhi clearly saw that his forehead was already blue and purple.

It was one thing to hear from his own lips about his torment in the palace.

Now seeing it with my own eyes is another matter altogether.

Just when she thought that perhaps Qi Yan'an had forgotten about calling her here today.

Qi Yanan turned his attention to her.

"This must be the daughter of Lord Wen, Wen Baizhi."

Wen Baizhi performed a particularly standard salute.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Wen Baizhi greets you."

Qi Yanan smiled and said, "I was so busy talking to the governor just now that I forgot about you, Madam Wen. Madam Wen has made contributions in this trip to Jinzhou, so I want to give you the title of Madam of Imperial Concubine. What do you think?"

Wen Baizhi felt very unhappy.

The ladies who were granted the title of nobility were either from families with high status or from the husband's family.

But Wen Baizhi obviously has neither of these characteristics.

Even her husband is Si Jiu, a character that everyone fears.

It was obvious that Qi Yan'an wanted to roast Si Jiu in the fire again by doing this.

But she could only think so in her heart, and she still had to pretend to flatter him on the surface.

"I know that what I have done is far from enough to deserve the title of Madam. All this is because of your majesty's kindness. I know that your majesty values ​​the Duke of Du and our Wen family. Although I feel that I am not qualified for this title, I still want to thank your majesty for your kindness and love."

Her words were very tactful.

But Qi Yan'an was inexplicably convinced that the person in front of him was not Wen Baizhi.

His neither humble nor arrogant demeanor and way of speaking made him sound like an old friend.

An old friend who will obviously never come back.
