After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

And in the same night.

The moment Wen Baizhi turned and left, Si Jiu wanted to look at her again.

But he was too weak to stand up, let alone walk.

So he had to crawl on the ground, using his elbows to support himself and move forward.

The pills that Wen Baizhi fed him were indeed effective.

Although I haven't recovered much of my strength, my previous tinnitus and dizziness have improved a lot.

At least now he could hear the sound of Wen Baizhi closing the door outside.

And what Qi Yan'an said to Wen Baizhi after that.

Si Jiu couldn't get up, so he leaned against the door, put his ear against it, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two of them outside.

He didn't dare make any more noise.

He knew Wen Baizhi could handle it herself.

She was exactly as he thought.

Successfully fooled Qi Yanan.

Just wait until all the noise outside has died down.

When Si Jiu wanted to go out and see again, he found that he didn't even have the strength to get up and open the door.

He could just about reach the latch but couldn't open it.

He tried several times, but failed each time.

Finally, Si Jiu was exhausted and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

My body is now more dilapidated than before.

It was really unfair to Wen Baizhi that she had to suffer behind him for nothing.

Si Jiu knew that he couldn't think like that.

Thinking this way would allow Qi Yan'an to succeed.

But Si Jiu just couldn't control himself.

Now Wen Baizhi has reappeared in front of Qi Yanan.

Even if she could hide the truth from Qi Yan'an, it couldn't change the fact that Qi Yan'an had already noticed her.

If Qi Yan'an were to snatch her away from him in the end...

If there is really such a possibility.

With Si Jiu's status and physical condition, he is definitely unable to withstand it.

In this way, Si Jiu's mind inevitably thought about this matter all night.

Stayed up all night.

The next morning, Wen Baizhi woke up.

Last night she lay in a strange bed, tossing and turning, all she could think about was how Si Jiu was doing now.

After she woke up, a palace maid pushed the door open and came in with clothes and jewelry to help her dress up and change.

Wen Baizhi declined their kindness and took the clothes and changed them herself.

You wouldn't know until you put them on, and you'll find that these clothes are actually the styles that Wen Bai liked to wear the most when he was here.

It's really hard for Qi Yan'an, he has to put on such a face as if he misses Wen Bai.

I just don't know whether he did this to commemorate the old times or just to make himself feel better.

Qi Yanan also finished changing his clothes with Li Qing's help.

Li Qing knelt at Qi Yan'an's feet, not daring to say a word.

The heart of an emperor cannot be looked directly upon.

However, Qi Yan'an did not scold him as Li Qing had expected.

He just went through the normal process of getting up and then went to court.

Just before leaving, he gave Li Qing a few instructions.

"You must watch Sijiu eat his meal today. Also, if the weather is good today, let him come out and bask in the sun."

Li Qing still knelt there without moving: "I'll remember this."

But the last sentence Qi Yan'an added made Li Qing unable to kneel any longer.

"You are someone close to me. Even if you are a eunuch, there will be many people chasing after you to curry your favor. So let the singing girl go. But I couldn't keep her anyway. She has been stationed in Ruyi Pavilion for such a long time, but she has not been able to send back any useful information."

After saying these words, Qi Yanan really left.

Only Li Qingdai was left kneeling there.

I kept recalling what Qi Yanan said.

And the way Qingcheng finally lost her breath in his arms.

It turned out to be the case.

The last thing she wanted to say was that she had never betrayed him.

If they weren't in the palace, Li Qing would have wanted to laugh out loud.

It's really fate that plays tricks on us, there's no way around it.

Qi Yanan didn't even go to see Wen Baizhi.

Anyway, he also knew that Wen Baizhi couldn't get out.

He was just waiting to watch a good show with Wen Baizhi when the court was dismissed.

Sunbathing is a jargon in the palace.

It's not so easy to bask in the sun in the palace.

At least it is not easy for Si Jiu.

Li Qing was filled with anger at the moment, and was worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger to.

Si Jiu just happened to be the object for him to vent his anger.

He first took the shrimps that Qi Yan'an had ordered from the imperial kitchen, and then went to Si Jiu.

After the door was opened, Si Jiu lay down near the door, and it was unknown how long he stayed there.

Li Qing was followed by some eunuchs, some holding shrimps in their hands, and some holding water in their hands.

Some of them held a rope in their hands.

Si Jiu didn't fall asleep in the first place.

I woke up when I heard the noise of Li Qing coming.

He propped up his upper body and sat up. The black hair behind him brushed past his ears and fell to the ground, and then he casually brushed it behind his back.

It's the fifth day.

With the help of sunlight, Li Qing saw that Si Jiu's face was covered with scars, and there were dark circles under his eyes that were difficult to ignore.

It looked like he hadn't slept well in the past five days.

But what does this have to do with him?

He was lucky not to be implicated by Si Jiu.

"Since you are awake, you should eat something. I think you have put a lot of effort into it these days."

Si Jiu knew that when Li Qing said this, it must be something that he brought that he had to watch him eat.

"Eunuch Li is so polite. I feel embarrassed."

Li Qing didn't waste any more words with him and directly signaled the eunuch behind him to bring the fresh shrimps to Si Jiu.

The shrimp has not changed color, and it has been soaked in wine and has a strong smell of alcohol.

"Eat this so early in the morning? Eunuch Li, my stomach is not good, I am afraid I can't eat this."

Li Qing smiled and said, "You are joking, Lord Governor. This is the food that His Majesty personally gave you. He also told us to serve you well while you eat. Lord Governor, please don't make it difficult for me. I helped you a lot last night, so now you should do me a favor as well."

Si Jiu knew that Li Qing had bad intentions this time, and he also knew that he had no capital to negotiate with him now.

"In that case, thank you very much for your kindness, Eunuch Li. I will definitely eat all these shrimps."

Li Qing waved his hand and said, "Please come in, Governor. We still have things to do if you finish eating early."

Si Jiu also saw the rope in the young eunuch's hand behind him.

He was always around in the palace, so he must know what the rope was used for.

Because it took too long to draw the grids, Si Jiu's hands were shaking when he picked up the chopsticks.

The shrimps were soaked in wine, making their surfaces slippery and difficult to pick up.

Si Jiu tried several times to pick up a few shrimps but failed.

The two chopsticks made a clinking sound in his hand.

But fortunately, in the end, he ate all twenty shrimps on the plate.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Li Qing said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Dugong. Since you have finished eating, please wash up and then I will take you out to bask in the sun."
