After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi quickly dug up the token.

It is a jade pendant neatly wrapped in oil paper.

Along with the jade pendant, there was also a yellowed letter.

It goes without saying who left this letter here.

The jade pendant looked just like an ordinary piece of jade, but Wen Baizhi knew that it would be the key thing that would allow Si Jiu and she to escape from here in the future.

She can bear it.

But once it involves Si Jiu.

She just couldn't bear it.

If Qi Yanan continues to be exploited by Si Jiu like this, then she will have to resist for Si Jiu.

No matter what the outcome is.

Si Jiu can't be bullied by others.

But she wouldn't know.

Si Jiu is currently being trapped in the palace by Qi Yan'an.

And began a torture that lasted for half a month.

She and Ping An simply filled the hole they had dug under the tree with soil and restored it to its original state.

Then he held the jade pendant carefully and placed the unopened letter in his arms.

Finally, He Ping'an left here the same way.

Before leaving, Wen Baizhi looked back at the house.

She dared not and could not forget the memories of her past as Wen Bai.

But she will also live well with the hope of life that Wen Baizhi has now.

When she returned at noon, it was just time for lunch.

After dinner, she sent Cuizhi away.

She sat at the table, taking the letter out of her arms with imperceptible anticipation and nervousness.

"My daughter personally opens the letter.

Baibai, when you see this letter, my father and your elder brother will probably no longer be in this world.

Baibai, my daughter, daddy is sorry for you.

Daddy knew that you loved freedom by nature, but he still advised you to marry His Majesty at that time. Daddy was wrong.

If I were given another chance to choose, I would rather take you to a place thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

As long as my daughter lives freely and happily, that's enough.

Baibai, daddy and elder brother are both gone. You must take good care of yourself. Don't be as stubborn as before and always let yourself get hurt, okay?

Without your father backing you up, my daughter's life will definitely be more difficult than before.

But in vain, Daddy's life was filled with great injustice and he couldn't do what he wanted.

The words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" have been hanging over my father's head for years and have always been an indelible shadow in his heart.

But Baibai, if possible, Daddy hopes that you can follow your own ideas. No matter what His Majesty asks you to do, as long as you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it.

Daddy is incompetent and couldn't leave you anything to rely on. I'm sure most of the Wen family's assets have been lost during the confiscation of property.

Daddy only has this small team of 10,000 people in Yunzhou to leave to you.

When the time comes, you just need to take the jade pendant with you, say that you are a child of the Wen family, and go to Yunzhou. Once you get there, someone will pick you up.

Baibai, my good daughter. I’m sorry for you now that I’m gone.

If possible, you will still be my daughter in the next life.

By then, Dad will try his best to live longer.

Long enough to protect you forever and never leave so early again.

My father’s last words.

Wen Baizhi read the letter over and over again.

By the end, her vision was blurred by tears.

I can't see the words at all.

But she kept watching.

Look and look.

In my memory, Father Wen was always busy.

I rarely say these words to her.

What he left Wen Bai with most was his back as he left home for the war.

And till now, all he left for Wen Baizhi were memories.

Wen Baizhi put the letter aside, worried that her tears would wet the paper.

Then she fell on her knees.

I cried my heart out.

Now she also understood why Si Jiu loved to cry so much.

Sometimes people just need to vent their emotions with tears.

Sad, happy.

How sad it would be if people lost the right to shed tears.

She cried for a long time.

She did it for Wen Bai and everyone in the Wen family.

It's also for her past.

Wen Baizhi was tired from crying and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I found it was already dusk outside.

The temperature was also much colder than it was in the afternoon.

The sky was an unusually yellow color, just like the calm before a rainstorm.

Wen Baizhi walked out of the house and found Ping An.

After asking, I learned that Si Jiu had not returned home yet.

Ping An saw that she was worried, and hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. In the past, the governor has not returned home all night. I guess His Majesty in the palace asked the governor to do something again, which delayed his return."

There was no way Qi Yanan would do anything good for Si Jiu.

He must be thinking of some evil tricks to torture Si Jiu.

Sitting back and waiting for death is not her style.

At least now we need to know what happened to Si Jiu in the palace.

She told Ping An, "Ping An, find out what happened to the governor in the palace today and where he is now. Bring more money and ask for information. Be sure to tell me after you find out the situation clearly."

Wen Baizhi also wanted to go into the palace to find out the situation herself.

But she is no longer Wen Bai who can enter the palace at any time.

She is now Wen Baizhi, who is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned.

If he really entered the palace so rashly, it would harm Si Jiu instead.

So no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait calmly for news in the mansion.

After receiving the order, Ping An left the house.

He had worked in the palace before and knew some of the connections.

He knew everything, including the spies that Si Jiu had planted around Qi Yan'an.

Wen Baizhi sat there anxiously waiting for news to be brought back safely.

And no one knows when Si Jiu will come back.

Two hours later, Ping An finally came back.

As soon as he came back, Wen Baizhi stopped him from saluting.

"Stop bowing and tell me how the governor is doing."

Ping An ran a little dry-mouthed: "Madam, I asked, and the Duke of Du was kept in the palace by His Majesty to copy things."

Wen Baizhi: "Do you know what he copied? When will he come back? Did His Majesty embarrass him?"

Ping An shook his head guiltily, "Your Majesty just kept the Dugong in his study and talked for a while. No one knows what he said or did. After that, the Dugong was taken to a side hall by Eunuch Li, and then he was asked to copy something. I only know that he took a lot of pens, ink and paper, but I don't know what he copied."

This can’t be blamed on Ping An.

Even if you serve the emperor, it is impossible for you to know everything about him.

The emperor would have been assassinated countless times.

Wen Baizhi naturally knew this, but she still held on to hope and wanted to ask about Si Jiu's situation.

"Did you see what he looked like when the governor left His Majesty's study?"

Ping An still shook his head: "The people who serve in front of the emperor are all trained by Eunuch Li to be very strict. Our spies only saw the governor walk out of the emperor's study. We were far away and couldn't see clearly whether the governor was safe or not."

Wen Baizhi's heart sank.

Something must have happened.

But at least tonight she could only wait for news in the mansion.
