After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Cuizhi had never seen this person before, but when she saw Wen Baizhi suddenly stop, she also stopped and stood behind her silently.

But what she never expected was that Wen Baizhi actually saluted this person and even said, "Your Majesty, may you be well."

This scared Cuizhi.

He quickly followed behind and saluted.

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

This really can’t be blamed on Cuizhi.

After all, whenever His Majesty goes out, he is always accompanied by a group of people.

There is no way that Your Majesty is the only one here.

Qi Yan'an was obviously also surprised by Wen Baizhi's appearance here.

But he was a man who never showed his emotions, and he quickly suppressed the scrutiny in his eyes.

"Why is Mrs. Wen here?"

He asked knowingly.

Wen Baizhi rolled her eyes silently in her heart, but said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I was invited by the Princess to attend her Spring Banquet. I have always heard that the plum forest in the backyard of the Princess's residence is extremely beautiful. Now is the time when the plum blossoms are in bloom. That is why I came here so suddenly to see the beauty of the plum forest."

To be fair, her explanation made a lot of sense.

If Qi Yan'an hadn't already become suspicious of her.

He took a step closer to Wen Baizhi: "Few people know the beauty of this plum forest. It is really surprising that Madam Wen knows about this place."

Wen Baizhi swore that if she knew Qi Yanan was here, she would not take a step towards Merlin even if he knocked her out.

But how could she know that Qi Yan'an would appear here in broad daylight, without any servants, during a festival that was neither New Year nor a holiday?

Wen Baizhi said patiently, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess's fame is well known to everyone. Even I have heard a lot about it when I was in my boudoir. Originally, I only vaguely heard about the existence of a Merlin, and I didn't expect to find him in this huge princess mansion. But when I came here just now, I casually asked the servant who led me in at the gate, and then I knew the approximate location of Merlin, so I came here."

She thought that after she explained it this way, Qi Yanan would not ask this question again.

But what she didn't expect was that Qi Yan'an was so boring and childish.

"Which servant? I will reward this servant later. He knows the beautiful scenery of the imperial sister's mansion so well and can bring guests to appreciate it. I will reward him."

Wen Baizhi really felt annoyed.

"Your Majesty, when I came in just now, I didn't ask the boy's name on purpose. Even if he stood in front of me now, I might not be able to recognize him."

Don’t ask, don’t ask. It’s impolite to ask again.

Wen Baizhi couldn't help but complain bitterly in her heart.

"Is that so?" Qi Yan'an looked her up and down. "Since Madam Wen has said so, I can't find anyone to reward even if I want to."

Wen Baizhi felt that he should give up and stop asking.

She still stood there respectfully. If Qi Yan'an didn't speak, she wouldn't take the initiative to speak.

Of course, Qi Yan'an wouldn't let her leave, and she couldn't leave in this situation.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, so she didn't see Qi Yan'an's undisguised gaze falling on her.

The people sent to Jinzhou to investigate are still on the way, although Qi Yan'an feels that it is definitely impossible.

Wen Bai's ashes are still kept in his bedroom.

Wen Bai should not exist in this world.

But Si Jiu looked like she was the only one that mattered.

For a moment, Qi Yanan himself couldn't tell whether Si Jiu had forgotten that Wen Bai made him happy.

Or what made him even happier was that Wen Bai might not be dead and had turned into Wen Baizhi.

He himself didn't have the answer.

Qi Yanan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, so he didn't say anything.

This made Wen Baizhi dare not speak, let alone leave.

The two of them stayed like this for about a cup of tea.

In the end, it was Qi Yan who spoke first and broke the deadlock.

"Since Madam Wen is here to attend the Imperial Sister's Spring Banquet today, then go quickly. I don't want to waste your time because of me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has no further instructions, I will take my leave."

"Go down." Qi Yan'an waved her hand, meaning that she could leave.

Wen Baizhi bowed to him one last time and turned to leave.

Although she didn't look behind after turning around, she knew that Qi Yan'an must be looking at her back at this moment.

Just like before in Baoen Temple, Si Jiu told her that Qi Yan'an might have doubted her identity.

She walked like a lady from a noble family.

It can be said that from her outward appearance to the words she deliberately says, she is nothing like Wen Bai.

If he really suspects or questions me, the worst that can happen is that I will just deny it.

Although people in this era fear ghosts and gods, only a few people have actually seen them.

It just exists in word of mouth among people.

After they walked a little further away and confirmed that Qi Yan'an would not see her again, Cuizhi breathed a sigh of relief before Wen Baizhi.

"Miss, that was the Emperor just now." Cuizhi was still a little frightened.

Wen Baizhi pretended to be a little tired, so she found a secluded corner and leaned against the rockery.

"Yes, that was our great emperor just now."

It’s not Cuizhi’s fault. After all, not everyone can see the emperor.

Cuizhi probably had never seen the emperor in her first half of her life, so it was quite good that she did not lose her composure after suddenly seeing him just now.

"I was so scared, young lady. I didn't think I could see the emperor again."

Wen Baizhi's original depressed mood after seeing Qi Yan'an was relieved a lot after hearing Cuizhi's lovely words.

"Silly Cuizhi, he is just the emperor, why did he scare you so much?"

Cuizhi said embarrassedly: "I have never seen the emperor before. Who wouldn't be afraid when meeting the emperor for the first time?"

Wen Baizhi smiled.

But she quickly reviewed the conversation she had just had with Qi Yanan.

She found that she didn't seem to be that scared when she was talking to His Majesty.

It seemed like an ordinary friendly conversation between friends.

Of course, this may also be that she is exaggerating.

Qi Yanan is a fool.

It shouldn't be discovered.

And this wasn't the first time she'd seen him.

It should be fine.

"Miss, where are we going next?" Cuizhi asked.

It is impossible to go to Merlin, although Wen Baizhi really wants to take a look at the scenery there.

But the good mood just now was ruined by an uninvited guest.

It’s better not to go.

She stood up and said, "Although it's not time to take your seat yet, there are so many people admiring the flowers over there, and I don't want to squeeze in there. Why not go directly to the banquet? They should be finishing soon anyway."

She really doesn't like to join in the fun, and she doesn't like to chat with a group of people she doesn't know.

There's nothing much to talk about.

"it is good."

Cuizhi naturally obeyed her.
