After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Si Jiu never thought that he would become Wen Baizhi's hope in some way.

He always knew that he couldn't do without Wen Baizhi.

He didn't even ask her to give him the same love.

He just wanted to see her and know that she was safe somewhere.

But Wen Baizhi told him.

She was very grateful to herself.

He also gave her courage.

Wen Baizhi like this made him even more at a loss.

He didn't know how to love her in a way that would make her most comfortable.

Sometimes he worried that when he was with her, his uncontrollable rapid heartbeat would disturb her.

"Bai Bai, I, I really didn't expect you to think this way."

Wen Baizhi raised a smile at the corner of her mouth: "It's my fault that I haven't said these words to you before. It seems that love sometimes not only depends on actions, but also on words."

Si Jiu wanted to cry more after what she said.

But he held back.

If I cry now, it will only draw Wen Baizhi's attention to me.

Then she might lose this hard-earned opportunity to speak out her heart.

"If it were you, I would be very satisfied if you stayed by my side even without saying a word." Si Jiu said from his heart.

But Si Jiu also took this opportunity to ask the questions that he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"Bai Bai, have you ever blamed Qi Yan'an?"

This question has been lingering in Si Jiu's mind for three years.

But he never dared to know the answer.

But now he dared to ask.

Wen Baizhi repeated subconsciously: "Have I ever blamed Qi Yan'an?"

Si Jiu waited nervously for her answer.

Wen Baizhi didn't expect him to ask this.

But she hadn't actually thought about this question.

"At first, after he exiled my father and brother to the frontier for his so-called grand plan and weakened the power of our Wen family, I blamed him in my heart.

My father and brother died after being infected with miasma in Lingnan, and my hatred for them reached its peak. But I also knew that hatred was useless.

Maybe you don't know that I once stabbed Qi Yan'an's heart with a sword, but I didn't have the heart to stab him deeper.

Because at that time all I thought about were the teachings my father and brothers had given me since I was a child: to be loyal to the emperor, to love the country and the people.

Qi Yanan is a good emperor, this is something everyone can see, but I just can't stand him.

But now, Zijin, whether you believe it or not, he is just an insignificant stranger in my heart. "

Wen Bai once lost all his relatives and was left alone before dying in battle on the frontier.

After her death, only her then-fiancé Si Jiu traveled thousands of miles to be by her side and buried her properly.

Wen Baizhi is now just like having no father at all, and the Wen family is just a stranger in her eyes.

By this calculation, Si Jiu is the only relative she has left.

Si Jiu felt uncomfortable when he saw Wen Baizhi talking about her past so calmly.

"Bai Bai, have you ever thought that if you had agreed to Qi Yan'an and become his queen, or even not have an engagement with me, would he have let your father and brother go?"

Wen Baizhi smiled contemptuously when she heard this: "Zijin, ah Zijin, after all these years, don't you know him better than I do? He was able to climb from the cold palace to his current position. Do you think his imperial power tactics will not be able to predict what will happen next?

Regardless of whether I was his queen or not, he would have found a way to depose my father and brother from their positions, it was just a matter of time.

At that time, I was still naive and thought that if I was exiled, at least I could keep my life and stay away from the intrigues in Kyoto. When I could think of a way in the future, I would either go to Lingnan to spend the rest of my life with them, or secretly bring them back.

But I didn’t expect it to be a step too late.”

She still remembers the day when Qi Yan'an called her to the imperial study.

With a complicated and heavy expression, he handed her the memorial about the death of her father and brother.

"You can't wear swords when you enter the palace. I was so angry that I pulled out the imperial sword he had left there and stabbed him in the heart.

He is a man of integrity. When the Dragon Guards wanted to arrest me, he refused to let them touch me and let me go.”

Si Jiu didn't know that all these things happened at that time.

"So after that, you wanted to leave Kyoto and go to the frontier?" he asked.

Wen Baizhi said: "Yes, I hate Qi Yanan, but I also hate that I can't bear to really kill him, so I don't want to stay in Kyoto anymore. I want to leave, the farther the better."

“So you ended up at the border.”

"Yes, I went to the border, where I saw a different sky and land, and a group of people who had been devastated by war but still had bright eyes."

Si Jiu asked: "Will Qi Yanan let you go at that time?"

Wen Baizhi said disdainfully: "Whether he lets me go or not, I will leave. He knows he can't stop me, but he was really badly injured by me at that time. The imperial doctors came one after another, and in the end he still asked Li Qing to announce the decree. I took the decree and left, and I didn't care whether he thanked me or not."

But Si Jiu knew that Qi Yan'an went to see her off.

In front of the city gate where they saw him off that day, besides him, there was also Qi Yan'an, who was seriously injured, lying in a carriage not far behind.

Together they saw Wen Bai off for the last time.

That was the last time they saw Wen Bai.

I just don’t know if Qi Yan’an will regret letting Wen Bai leave Kyoto when she thinks of her in her midnight dreams.

Going further back, would he regret sending Wen Bai's father and brother to exile in Lingnan?

But Si Jiu had no way of knowing all this.

"I saw Wen Bai off for the last time." Si Jiu said in a daze.

When Wen Bai was riding on his horse and leaned over to look at him, he knew that all his heart, energy and spirit had followed Wen Bai to the free border.

Wen Baizhi's eyebrows curved: "Yes, not only did you send Wen Bai on her last journey, you also collected her body, allowing her to leave this world peacefully."

Si Jiu was stunned: "You know everything?"

Wen Baizhi touched him: "Yes, I know everything. I know everything you have done for Wen Bai."

She sighed, "Zijin, are you stupid? You insisted on marrying me in the afterlife. For this, you were kicked out of the mansion by your father, and you also offended Qi Yan'an. You have been targeted by him for so many years. Is it worth it, Zijin?"

Si Jiu couldn't bear it anymore, so he moved his body and lay on Wen Baizhi's legs.

"It's worth it. It's worth doing everything for you."

At that time, he only thought that Wen Bai had no family. After her death, there was no one to sweep her grave and burn paper money for her.

He really couldn't bear to see Wen Bai like that.

So for the first time he developed the consciousness of resistance.

He wants to fight for Wen Bai and the Marquis's Mansion that has tied him up.

"Actually, Baibai, I still want to apologize to you. I clearly knew that you made an engagement with me just to find an excuse not to be the queen, but I still wanted to have a ghost marriage with you without your permission. I am sorry for you.

But Baibai, you have to believe me, I really don't dare to have any improper thoughts about you. I'm just worried that you have no relatives in the world, no one remembers you, and no one visits your grave. I just want to be the last person in the world who remembers you. "
