After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

"The way to break the illusion and get out of it is to cut off the illusion with your own hands, but I couldn't bear to do that before."

"It's okay. I'm here to accompany you now. I'll be here to accompany you soon."

Blood flowed from the corner of Wen Bai's mouth, and he finally fell into Si Jiu's arms and lost his breath.

It was clearly an illusion, but Si Jiu still cried out to the sky in pain.

"I'm here to accompany you, Baibai, here I come."

Si Jiu carefully put Wen Bai's body down, and then stabbed the sword stained with Wen Bai's blood into his own abdomen.

When he woke up, his face was already covered with tear marks, which stuck to his face, making him feel very uncomfortable.

And he didn't have the superpowers he had in his dreams that could make all illnesses disappear.

He was still curled up on the ground, but his body was a little stiff.

The sun was already streaming in, shining on his face.

It has been so long since he fainted from the pain yesterday.

This shows how much pain he was in yesterday.

It's the seventh day.

Si Jiu can actually still remember every day he spent here.

If it was before, Qi Yan'an would have locked him up in a secret room where the tablet of Wen Bai was placed as a vent for his anger.

But at that time, he had no time to calculate the time.

At that time, he just felt that no matter it was one day, ten days, or even a hundred days.

No matter how many days it takes, he doesn't care whether he goes out or not.

But it's different now.

Now he has Wen Baizhi waiting for him at home.

He has to try his best to hold on.

Then he went home and hugged his Baibai.

If Qi Yan'an knew that he had locked Si Jiu up here and actually cured Si Jiu's hallucinations and delusions of the past three years, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would die.

But Si Jiu knew that the main reason that enabled him to face reality and stop indulging in illusions was because of Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi gave him straightforward and passionate love.

It's the seventh day.

I don’t know how long Qi Yan’an will keep him locked up.

Just when he woke up, Li Qing brought people in to deliver something to him.

As usual, it was a simple meal, a set of clean clothes, and water for washing.

The eunuch behind Li Qing took away the toilet that Si Jiu used yesterday and brought in a clean one.

Si Jiu vaguely felt that Li Qing's attitude towards him was more relaxed this morning than yesterday.

But he didn't care. He just thanked Li Qing and continued to walk to the table to draw grids.

Li Qing didn't have anything extra to say. Seeing Si Jiu's cold look, he left.

After Li Qing left, Si Jiu put down his pen in frustration and pressed his hand on the painful area on his abdomen.

My stomach still hurts a lot.

It was as if the sword he had stabbed himself with in the dream had really pierced his abdomen.

There's just no wound, but the pain is the same.

His stomach felt like a cold, hard stone at this moment. No matter how hard he tried to warm it up, it wouldn't warm him up and it still hurt.

Si Jiu can still hold on.

Before entering the palace this time, he had received news about the Chidu Kingdom's renewed attempt to invade Dacheng.

I just don’t know what the situation is outside now after seven days.

But seeing Li Qing's attitude change, Si Jiu felt that he would be released by Qi Yan'an soon.

Although Qi Yan'an was vindictive and jealous, he was a good king.

He would not allow his kingdom to be tainted by outsiders in the slightest.

So there will be times when he will need Si Jiu.

He needed someone to be his sword in the court.

This person can only be Si Jiu.

Because Si Jiu is the person he can control best.

All Si Jiu can do now is wait for news.

And continue to think about Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi was also thinking about Si Jiu.

She was also waiting for a reply from the person sent by the Queen.

On the eighth night that Si Jiu was imprisoned in the palace.

The queen came to Wen Baizhi's room with the letter she received.

"Two pieces of news. One is that the eunuch named Ping'an in your mansion was indeed captured. He was captured when Ping'an was about to leave the city, so many people saw it, and we can find out who captured him."

Wen Baizhi asked: "Who is it?"

She was somewhat suspicious whether it was Qi Yan'an who did it, but she also felt that Qi Yan'an would not be so bored as to stare at a little eunuch.

"It was done by someone from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. I have sent secret guards to the mansion to look for him, but we have searched all possible places where people could be imprisoned. We even found a pried-open lock outside a woodshed. I wonder if he was imprisoned there."

Wen Baizhi thought about the time when she and Ping'an went to the Wen family before, and she had seen Ping'an's lock-picking skills.

I think the lock could have been opened by Ping An.

"It should be him who opened the lock. I hope he can be safe and sound like his name." Wen Baizhi said sincerely.

The queen only said: "Don't worry, I have sent people to continue looking for him. If he wants to go to find the princess, he should be discovered."

Thinking of the two pieces of news the Queen mentioned, Wen Baizhi asked, "What is the other piece of news, Madam?"

The Queen said, "You are the one who said you wanted to find the eldest princess. I also wrote my post and said I would visit the eldest princess, but the people in her mansion said that the princess had gone out and might not come back in a short time. However, I have also sent people to the princess's destination to find her directly. I hope to find not only the princess, but also Ping An."

Wen Baizhi heard this and was so grateful to the queen that she could not express it in words.

"Your Highness, Bai Zhi is extremely grateful for your kindness to her. No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, Bai Zhi will definitely not implicate you. If Your Highness needs Bai Zhi in the future, please feel free to ask."

In another world, everyone's kindness is worth cherishing over and over again.

Wen Baizhi is not the kind of person who is ungrateful.

The queen just smiled and said, "Look, you are being polite to me again, aren't you? I told you that I don't need any reward for helping you, nor do I need your thanks. I am just doing what I think is worthwhile and right. The feelings between royal families are originally indifferent. I am lucky to be able to see your sincere love."

The Queen spoke the truth.

Money is easy to get, but true love is hard to find.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." After hearing her say this, Wen Baizhi no longer insisted on what she had just said.

"But even if we don't go looking for the princess, His Majesty will definitely send someone to find the princess as soon as possible." After a moment of silence, the queen spoke.

Wen Baizhi asked: "Why is this? Did something happen in the previous dynasty that was related to the princess?"

The Queen said sternly, "Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday when I took you to see Si Jiu that His Majesty was stuck in the former court and couldn't come back to the harem? The matter that has stuck His Majesty is closely related to the princess."

Wen Baizhi was so smart that she immediately thought of what it was about: "But what about the previous statement that the princess of Dacheng would marry to the Chidu Kingdom?"

The Queen nodded with an unpleasant look on her face. "It is exactly this matter. Your Majesty has been discussing with the ministers all night but has not come up with the best solution. Going to war is not good for Dacheng. Although Your Majesty has not made a decision yet, most people still support marrying the princess. I am afraid that Your Majesty will nod in agreement within the next few days."
