After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi was as careful when she left as when she came.

Perhaps Qi Yan'an really had temporarily relaxed his guard against her, or perhaps the events of the previous dynasty had indeed held him back.

Wen Baizhi's departure went smoothly.

It's just that she herself can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

How can I get through this?

Si Jiu is still suffering here in pain.

When the queen saw her coming out, she hurried to greet her.

The two of them returned to the Queen's Palace together.

After returning to the hall, Wen Baizhi sat at the table in a daze.

As usual, the queen sent away all the servants and sat down next to her.

"You look so worried. I know it was not good to see Si Jiu in there just now." said the Queen.

Wen Baizhi recalled the scene she had just seen, Si Jiu's injuries that could not be ignored.

"He was covered in wounds, all over his body. After seeing them, I didn't even dare to touch him."

The queen showed an understanding expression: "This is very normal."

Wen Baizhi looked at her: "Why did you say that, Madam? Have you seen him get injured in the palace many times before?"

The Queen looked a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell her what she had seen and heard in the past few years.

But when he saw Wen Baizhi's determined eyes, he knew that she could bear all the consequences.

"Because the Dugong saved me before, after coming to the palace, I often paid attention to his movements, and naturally knew about the torture that His Majesty had been inflicting on him, including detaining him in the palace. Every time he was released, he needed someone to support him so that he would not fall."

Wen Baizhi knew that this should be the result of Si Jiu being punished by Qi Yan'an to kneel in front of Wen Bailing.

"There are even cases where His Majesty constantly beats and scolds the Dugong, always sending him to do difficult tasks that no one else wants to do. If the task is not completed, he will be punished. If the task is completed, His Majesty will continue to punish him more severely on the grounds of appeasing the people."

"Many times when I went to deliver breakfast to His Majesty in the morning, I saw the Governor being carried out covered in blood."

When Wen Baizhi heard these things, she thought she had been mentally prepared.

But she still felt very uncomfortable both physically and mentally after hearing it.

She clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the anger and sadness that was bursting from her heart.

So Qi Yan'an would make him remove the scars on his body no matter what.

That's why Si Jiu was misunderstood by the people and hated by the ministers time and time again.

But why.

Why should Si Jiu be treated like this?

Even if it was because of Si Jiu and Wen Bai's ghost marriage, even if Si Jiu could be buried with Wen Bai.

But this should not be a reason for Qi Yan'an to target and torture Si Jiu.

In Wen Baizhi's opinion, Qi Yan'an is a complete selfish villain who is good at using lies to move himself and confuse others!

"Your Highness," Wen Baizhi tried hard to suppress the curse words that were about to come out, "I have something I want to ask your help with."

"You say." The queen will naturally help if she can.

Wen Baizhi slowly unclenched her fists: "I can't solve my current dilemma, Si Jiu can't solve it, and your Majesty can't solve it either. The only person who can possibly solve this dilemma is Princess Shang Yao."

"Shang Yao?" It seemed that he did not expect to hear Shang Yao's name from Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi nodded: "Before entering the palace, I left a letter for someone in my mansion, asking him to deliver it to the princess if I didn't get back in time. But for some reason, Shang Yao hasn't come yet. I guess something must have happened to the person who delivered the letter, so I beg the queen to help me go out of the palace to find news about that person, and secondly, help me take a letter to Shang Yao."

After thinking for a while, Wen Baizhi said, "I know that I can stay in the palace of the Queen and find a chance to meet Si Jiu. The Queen has already taken a huge risk to help us. I really shouldn't make any more requests to the Queen, but the Queen, I really, I really don't know what to do."

Wen Baizhi has never been someone who would admit that she is helpless.

Even when she was Wen Bai in her previous life, no matter how bad the battlefield environment was, she would not easily give up or retreat.

But now she can't.

Si Jiu couldn't wait that long.

Seeing how earnest she was, the queen couldn't help but think that if there was someone who could help her at that time, at least she could say goodbye to her lover properly, even if it was just to say the last words.

Maybe now she wouldn't feel so regretful and heartbroken every night when she dreams about it.

"Okay." The queen agreed without even thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, the situation outside the palace is not much simpler than inside. Your Majesty does not necessarily have to take this risk for me. Your Majesty, I..."

Wen Baizhi was very conflicted at the moment.

On the one hand, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could help her at this time.

Another thing is that although she said that she didn't want the queen to take risks for her, in her heart she really selfishly hoped that the queen would agree to her request.

Even after the queen actually agreed, she began to rejoice.

"I know. The past few years of palace life and the intrigues of the people around me have slowly transformed me from a naive girl who knew nothing to a queen who has to consider the consequences of everything she does. I even almost forgot what I was like before I entered the palace. The scariest thing is that I have also slowly begun to forget what the person in my heart looks like."

This is what Su Zhenlian finds most terrifying.

"It's exciting to see you guys working so hard for each other. I feel like I haven't been this excited and nervous for a long time. Besides, as I said, Sijiu saved my life, and I admire you so much that I want to become your sworn sister. So why can't I do something risky for my savior and my sister?"

It was not until this moment that Wen Baizhi saw how kind and gentle the queen sitting in front of her was.

He is so considerate and caring towards others.

It was a blessing for Qi Yanan to have such a good queen.

"Thank you, Queen. Really, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you." Wen Baizhi couldn't finish her thanks.

The Queen said, "There is no time to lose. Hurry up and write the letter to the princess. I will send my confidant to deliver the letter and make sure it reaches the princess's residence. Also, you must tell me the details of the person in your residence who delivered the letter so that I can send someone to find him."

Wen Baizhi gratefully agreed: "I'll write it right away."

Writing a letter is not difficult. The content of Wen Baizhi's letter is the same as the one she wrote to Ping An.

Shang Yao will know that she is Wen Bai once she sees it.

It’s just that it’s difficult to describe Ping An’s appearance.

Wen Baizhi could imagine what Ping An looked like, but she couldn't draw it.

She couldn't help but think of the painting Si Jiu had drawn of her when they were in Jinzhou.

Every stroke of the pen expressed Si Jiu's passionate love for her.

In the end, Wen Baizhi had no choice but to ask the Queen to send someone to the Governor's Mansion to find Cuizhi, and let Cuizhi take the people from the Governor's Mansion out to look for her.
