After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Liuyun Palace in the afternoon.

The queen sent away all the palace maids and left Wen Baizhi in the palace to talk.

There was a cup of Longjing tea in front of each of them.

This was Wen Bai’s favorite tea back then.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and the queen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Sure enough, I still can't get used to the taste of Longjing."

Wen Baizhi couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Your Majesty doesn't like drinking Longjing? Then why..."

"Why should I drink it?" the queen asked to herself.

"It's because that person liked to drink Longjing tea back then, so His Majesty asked me to follow his lead and like to drink it. Actually, what I like to drink most is scented tea, but I haven't had it for three years."

Wen Baizhi naturally knew who the queen was talking about.

As soon as she saw the Queen's face that was similar to Wen Bai's, she guessed that Qi Yan'an would use the Queen as a substitute for Wen Bai.

"Your Majesty should have her own life and her own preferences." After thinking it over, she could only comfort her in this way.

After hearing this, the queen laughed at herself and said, "My own life? I didn't have one a long time ago. Now I live for the Su family, for my father, brothers, and mother's clan."

Wen Baizhi knew that she was not qualified to listen to what the queen said, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your help in the Imperial Garden just now, but you are telling me these words from your heart now, which makes me very anxious. This is just the first time I have met your Majesty..."

"First time?" the Queen repeated, "but I have seen you countless times."

Wen Baizhi searched through Wen Bai's memories but couldn't remember having seen her before, and she had no memories of Wen Baizhi.

"Really? But I don't remember..."

"Of course you don't remember, because that was when I saw your portrait when you left, Wen Bai."

After the queen said this, she stared into Wen Baizhi's eyes.

As if trying to see something in her eyes.

But Wen Baizhi is not a fool. She will not reveal her whole secret just because of the Queen's sudden kindness.

"Your Majesty, I am Wen Baizhi, not Wen Bai. Your Majesty also mistook me for Wen Bai, but I am clearly Wen Baizhi."

The queen only smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't force you to admit it. Why would I want you to admit it? It won't benefit me in any way. But I know you are Wen Bai. If you don't admit it, it will be a good thing for me."

Although I don’t know how the Queen figured out that I was Wen Bai, it’s even possible that she helped me because of this.

But Wen Baizhi was still very grateful for her help just now.

“Although I don’t know if the queen helped me because she mistook me for Wen Bai, I still want to thank the queen. If the queen hadn’t brought me here, I’m afraid I would not be able to sleep well tonight.”

The queen finished drinking the Longjing tea in front of her and said, "You're welcome. I already knew it when you came to His Majesty's bedroom last night.

His Majesty seldom comes to the harem to see us. I was curious why he came to me last night, but later I found out that he came to me on purpose as a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Fortunately, I spent so much time preparing for His Majesty's arrival last night, fearing that I might not do well enough and make him angry..."

The women in the harem have always revolved around His Majesty, and Wen Baizhi could of course hear the sadness behind the Queen's words.

"Your Majesty imprisoned Si Jiu in the palace. I really had no other choice but to take the risk and come in to see him last night. But I was still discovered by Your Majesty."

The Queen sighed, "It seems that you still don't understand our Majesty. He is the kind of person who will immediately take out the dagger hidden under his pillow and get up if he hears a strange noise in the middle of his sleep. He has the power to control everything. It is extremely difficult to do something secretly under his command."

"But even so, no matter how intimidating your majesty is, he has imprisoned my lover, so I will try my best to win his favor. I cannot just watch my lover being bullied like that."

Wen Baizhi apologized immediately after she finished speaking: "I'm sorry, Madam, I spoke out of turn."

But the queen just smiled gently and shook her head: "No, you don't need to apologize. In the long time since I entered the palace, I have rarely heard anyone speak so many heartfelt words in front of me.

Everyone in this palace wears a mask on their face, and no one can see anyone's true expression underneath the mask. You see, he is clearly smiling at you, but who knows if he is hiding hatred for you under the mask?

You are very good like this, I like it very much. "

Wen Baizhi clicked her fingers unnaturally: "Thank you, my lady."

The Queen said with a hint of curiosity: "Seeing how you defend Si Jiu and how you insist on him, I wonder if you have fallen in love with Wen Bai. After all, according to His Majesty, Wen Bai is the one he loves the most in the world and the one who loves him the most. If it's that kind of Wen Bai, he shouldn't fall in love with anyone else."

It was the first time that Wen Baizhi realized that this was the image of Wen Bai in Qi Yan'an's mouth.

What is the person who loves him the most.

He didn't know whether he was ashamed or not when he said this.

But she certainly couldn't refute this rumor in front of the Queen.

"My queen, although I don't know whether what His Majesty said is true or not, Wen Bai is no longer here. Regardless of whether His Majesty loves her or not, and whether Wen Bai loves His Majesty or not, it is you, My queen, who is with His Majesty now, and it will only be you in the future."

After hearing this, the Queen patted her hands and said, "No wonder His Majesty is obsessed with you and Si Jiu is willing to sacrifice his life for you. I like you very much too. If the situation wasn't complicated, I would have wanted to recognize you as my sister."

Wen Baizhi felt the sincerity in her words.

Sometimes women don’t necessarily have to fight to the death for a man. Appreciating each other and seeing the good qualities in each other is the normal way for women to get along with each other.

"The Queen is kind to others and considerate of others in everything she does. I like her very much."

This is also Wen Baizhi's true feelings.

"It's just that your Majesty, Si Jiu is still trapped in the palace. I really don't know how to rescue him. Or rather, I just want to see him and give him some medicine. I don't ask for anything else. I wonder if your Majesty can help me..."

The Queen was embarrassed. "The Duke of Du has been imprisoned in the palace more than once or twice before. It's just that this time it's related to you that His Majesty is so angry. That's why I held you back in the Imperial Garden just now because I was afraid that you would add fuel to the fire and His Majesty would not let him go."

Wen Baizhi lowered her head and said, "I know, I was impulsive at that time. I will be more careful next time."

The Queen nodded, "But His Majesty will probably be stricter with the Dugong right now. Don't worry, I will find a chance for you to meet him. Before that, you can stay here with peace of mind. His Majesty will take my reputation as the Queen and his own reputation into consideration, so he won't do anything wrong here."

Wen Baizhi stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

And this night was another difficult night for Yu Sijiu.

He was injured in several places and curled up on the ground, unable to move.

But his lower abdomen was burning, and the mixed feelings of itchiness and pain made him tremble all over.

That’s because Li Qing lit the boiling love powder in his room.

Surrounding him were four or five gorgeously dressed women.

If you look closely, they are very similar to Wen Baichang.
