After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

While Si Jiu was eating, Wen Baizhi was also sitting at the table, watching the palace maids place dish after dish in front of her.

Wen Baizhi looked at the greasy meat dishes that were served early in the morning and wanted to go and greet Qi Yanan directly.

Even if you know that Wen Bai likes to eat these things, you shouldn't let her eat them so early in the morning.

In the end, she still smiled, did not say a bad word to the palace maids, picked some light dishes suitable for breakfast, and finished the meal.

Before she entered the palace yesterday, she specifically told Ping An that if she didn't return after dawn, she should ask him to deliver the letter to the Princess's residence.

It's already the second day, and I don't know what the situation is like at Ping An.

I don’t even know what Si Jiu’s current situation is.

Qi Yan'an left court early today.

As the weather warmed up, the heavy snow in Chidu Kingdom gradually melted.

This further encouraged their evil intentions to seize supplies from Dacheng.

A group of ministers started a heated debate on whether to advocate war or peace.

Qi Yanan couldn't stand the argument any longer and announced his withdrawal from court.

Only at this time could he remember Si Jiu's kindness.

If Si Jiu were there, the ministers would have directed their fire at him.

The only person who was deeply troubled was Si Jiu.

Qi Yanan certainly knew that at this critical juncture when the Chidu Kingdom was showing its evil ambitions, Si Jiu could not act rashly.

But he couldn't really let Si Jiu go without doing anything.

When he returned to his bedroom, Li Qing came over and said that Si Jiu had eaten all the shrimps and was now tied up and hung on the big elm tree in the imperial garden.

Qi Yanan then asked, "How was Madam Wen this morning?"

Li Qing replied: "Mrs. Wen had a normal meal this morning. There was nothing unusual. She should still be in her room and has not come out yet."

After hearing this, Qi Yanan stood up again and said, "Madam Wen is a guest. Since she is in this palace, how can we not let her enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden?"

Li Qing understood what His Majesty meant, and sent someone to invite Wen Baizhi and Qi Yan'an to go to the Imperial Garden together.

Wen Baizhi didn't want to go, but this was in the palace and she had no right to refuse.

However, Qi Yan'an must have had bad intentions in asking her to go to the Imperial Garden at this time in the afternoon.

But she could never have imagined that Qi Yan'an asked her to go to the Imperial Garden not to see the flowers and plants.

But it was Si Jiu who was hung under the big tree.

She had been to the Imperial Garden here as early as when she was Wen Bai.

That elm tree was also her favorite place to stay under the cool air and climb up to enjoy the scenery in the past.

just.

But now there is Si Jiu hanging there.

Qi Yanan was walking in front of her, and he saw Si Jiu hanging first.

Si Jiu was seen with his hands tied up with ropes, hanging there with his eyes closed and his head drooping to one side.

He was very satisfied to see Si Jiu like this.

I just don’t know if Wen Baizhi will be equally satisfied.

The moment Wen Baizhi saw Si Jiu being hung, all the rage in her heart rushed up.

When I looked at him last night there was no light to see his face.

Now in this bright sunlight, Wen Baizhi could clearly see the wounds on Si Jiu's face.

After raising his hands, the sleeves of his arms slid to the bottom, revealing the scars on his hands.

Although there was no bleeding, it still looked very painful and scary.

Li Qing also followed the instructions and used special medicine powder to clean the wounds on Si Jiu's arm.

That's why the skin and flesh are in the initial stage of healing now.

Wen Baizhi didn't care about anything else and walked straight to Qi Yan'an and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. I just can't bear to see my husband being bullied like this."

As soon as she spoke, Si Jiu, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

Si Jiu saw Wen Baizhi kneeling on the ground and Qi Yanan with a smug look on his face.

He knew that this was also the method used by Qi Yan'an.

The purpose was to make him feel embarrassed and lose his dignity in front of Wen Baizhi.

In other words, he was now losing his dignity in front of all the palace servants who came and went in the imperial garden.

But now he could only watch Wen Baizhi kneeling in front of that man, but he could not do anything.

Qi Yanan glanced at Si Jiu who had opened his eyes and said, "Bullying? Me? I just wanted to let you come here to bask in the sun and see the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Wen Baizhi wanted to explain more, but she heard Si Jiu, who was hanging, speaking.

"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I have done something wrong and I should bear the consequences myself. Bai Zhi is just a woman, and she is the wife bestowed upon me by Your Majesty. Your Majesty really shouldn't keep her in the palace for too long. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will be a minor matter for me, but a major loss for Your Majesty."

Qi Yanan said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

Si Jiu hurriedly said, "I dare not. What I said is from the bottom of my heart and for your majesty's sake."

Before, Si Jiu would definitely not have said such words directly.

But today is different.

Wen Baizhi is here today, and he will give it a try for her no matter what.

Besides, there are so many people here, Qi Yanan wouldn't really be so careless about himself.

But just when Qi Yanan wanted to say something else.

Si Jiu felt a familiar rumbling sound coming from his stomach.

The fresh shrimp I ate this morning came in handy at this moment.

There was a reaction in Si Jiu's stomach. It was the familiar sound and pain he had experienced before with diarrhea.

But why should it be now?

Why did it have to be when Wen Baizhi and Qi Yan'an were confronting each other in front of him?

Qi Yan'an also heard this voice, and he knew even more clearly what kind of embarrassment Si Jiu would face later.

He showed an expression that he wanted to watch a show: "It sounds like the governor's stomach is not in good condition. Should we ask someone to invite the imperial physician to examine him?"

The sarcasm in his tone was so direct that it made people uncomfortable.

Wen Baizhi had no idea that Qi Yan'an would be so paranoid about targeting Si Jiu.

"Your Majesty, the Governor has been working hard for Dacheng. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. There are many people coming and going in the Imperial Garden. If everyone sees this scene, they will inevitably feel panic. If this continues, it will be disadvantageous to Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Wen Baizhi spoke sincerely, and every word seemed to be taken into consideration for Qi Yan'an.

Si Jiu felt such unbearable pain in his stomach that he didn't even dare to speak.

He was afraid that he would leak out in such a situation the next moment.

If that were the case, he would really be crazy.

He had been hanging here for more than an hour, and his lips had long been cracked and flaky from the sun.

My arms feel so sore as if I can't even feel their existence.

The fact that he had managed to hold out until now without fainting might be due to the pill he had taken before coming here.

Qi Yan'an could tell that Wen Baizhi's real intention was to ask him to let Si Jiu go.

But he still felt touched by the concern that Wen Baizhi showed for him.

I think Si Jiu has been hung here for long enough. If he continues to be hung, it will indeed cause panic among the people, which will not be good for his reputation.

We can put him down.

"In that case..."

"The Empress is here."

Just when Qi Yan'an was about to speak to put Si Jiu down, a voice interrupted him.
