After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

The tenth day that Si Jiu has been imprisoned.

Wen Baizhi hasn't been here since the last time she came.

Si Jiu is alone every day when he opens his eyes and when he closes his eyes.

Li Qing only gave him paper at the beginning, saying it was 10,000 sheets of paper, and asked him to finish the painting.

After that, there was no increase in the number of cards.

I don’t know if Qi Yan’an has changed his mind again.

Si Jiu has had less diarrhea these days. It should be because he didn’t eat much, so naturally he didn’t have diarrhea anymore.

But the stones down there were really painful.

Every time the pain made Si Jiu sweat profusely and vomit continuously, but he was helpless.

Rong Heng originally had three pills left.

There were two times when Si Jiu couldn't bear the pain anymore, so he took one pill.

Now there is only one left.

Si Jiu couldn't bear to eat this one no matter what.

This meant that when he felt pain a few times later, he had no choice but to endure it.

He tried many methods.

Including the jumping tricks that Wen Baizhi taught him at that time.

But he didn't know if it was because of the several times he fell before that caused his legs to be so weak now.

Even a simple jump on the ground would fail because the knees could not bear the weight.

In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

Several times when he was drawing grids, his nose would bleed.

Or you may suddenly have difficulty breathing and start coughing violently.

You may even cough up blood.

After several times, Si Jiu really began to feel sad that he would not live long.

But he should have died when Wen Bai died three years ago.

Now God has allowed him to live until now, and even wait for Wen Bai's return. This is already a great mercy to him.

He has nothing to regret.

These days, he has been sleeping more and more.

Sometimes he clearly remembered that he was still drawing grids, but when he next regained consciousness, he was already lying on the ground.

This happened many times.

Si Jiu is now terribly thin.

It's as thin as if a face grew on the skin.

But the exquisite facial features are still there.

Sometimes he would touch his obviously thinner face and wonder what Wen Baizhi would say when she saw it.

It’s not like he didn’t eat well.

He ate all the food Li Qing brought him on time.

It was probably because of the vomiting and diarrhea during the past few days that his stomach and intestines were completely damaged.

Whatever he ate would be vomited out intact soon after.

It can't be absorbed into the stomach at all.

After vomiting so much, Si Jiu's throat would instinctively secrete saliva the next time he ate.

The secretion of saliva is just to make it easier for him to vomit later.

In the worst cases, I even vomited while eating.

After vomiting, he covered his twitching stomach and collapsed in the chair for a long time before he recovered.

So time came to the twelfth day of his imprisonment.

During the twelve hours of the day, when Si Jiu was awake, he was either vomiting or drawing grids.

Finally, the papers on hand were getting shorter and shorter.

In the end, there were probably about a few hundred left.

Every time Li Qing came to deliver something, he would always take away the paper he had drawn.

He looked at Si Jiu's disfigured appearance and the scars on his hands that had healed and then cracked again, and his heart was touched.

In the past few days, he has followed Qi Yan'an's instructions and sprinkled the wound on Si Jiu's arm with a medicinal powder that is quick-acting but has great side effects.

Si Jiu's wound seemed to have healed, but it caused Si Jiu's hands to tremble uncontrollably, and the wound felt painful and itchy as if it were being bitten by ants.

Staying with Qi Yanan might lead to such danger.

Who knows, the next one might be Li Qing.

Who knows?

That night, Qi Yan'an also came to Si Jiu.

When he came in, he saw Si Jiu still sitting there drawing grids, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.

So what if Wen Bai is engaged to him? So what if Wen Baizhi doesn't admit that she is Wen Bai now?

Even if he personally arranged for Wen Baizhi to marry Si Jiu, what would happen?

Si Jiu still has to obey all his orders obediently like he does now.

He could torture Si Jiu however he wanted.

Si Jiu couldn't even complain.

In the past, Wen Bai made a mistake in choosing a loser like Si Jiu.

Now, after seeing Si Jiu in such an embarrassing state, Wen Baizhi will definitely not make the same wrong choice as before.

He is the king of great success.

He deserves to have everything and everyone he wants.

Who does Si Jiu think he is, and how dare he try to snatch it from him?

But this is not why he came here.

"Si Jiu, I have been asking you to reflect on your mistakes here for so many days. Do you know where you went wrong?"

Li Qing brought a stool to Qi Yanan and asked him to sit in front of Si Jiu.

Si Jiu knelt on the ground and replied.

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty still thinks that my wife is Wen Bai, then I have nothing to say. She is indeed Wen Baizhi, not Wen Bai. If Your Majesty wants to lock me up here because of this, I have no complaints."

If it was the previous Qi Yanan, he would have immediately cursed at Si Jiu.

But he won’t do that now.

"Si Jiu, I know you have concerns. Are you afraid that I will snatch Wen Baizhi away? Then I can tell you that I won't. I am the Son of Heaven. How can a Son of Heaven snatch his wife from a minister? Besides, I promised you this marriage, so there is no reason to break it.

Don't worry, just tell me the truth boldly. Wen Bai and I are old acquaintances. If she is really Wen Bai, then I will be very happy. I will also try my best to make up for the previous regrets and let you continue to be together."

These words were said so sincerely that Qi Yanan almost fooled himself.

But it is impossible to deceive Si Jiu.

Si Jiu made an uneasy expression, then put his head on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't hide anything from you. Wen Baizhi is really just Wen Baizhi, not Wen Bai. I don't know how to prove it to make your Majesty believe it."

At this point, Qi Yan'an was really angry at Si Jiu's refusal.

As an emperor, what he said to Si Jiu was already very polite.

But Si Jiu still kept denying it.

You really don't know what's good for you!

"Si Jiu, I'm telling you this to give you face, not to give you a ladder to climb up. What I say is what it is, and you have no room to refute."

Si Jiu fell to the ground without raising his head. "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I cannot give you an answer that satisfies you. It is my fault. Please do not vent your anger on my wife. She is just a woman in seclusion. She should not be a substitute and sacrifice for Wen Bai."

This was clearly a satire on Qi Yan'an because he had previously deliberately looked for a woman who looked like Wen Bai.

Qi Yanan could clearly understand what Si Jiu meant.

He had wanted to have a good talk with Si Jiu today.

By the way, find an excuse to release him so that he can continue to advocate war with the Chidu Kingdom in the court without letting Shang Yao marry far away.

But Si Jiu made him so disgusted.

Qi Yanan raised his hand, and Li Qing came up to him: "Master Du, you haven't woken up yet, you're just talking nonsense. Go find someone to help you relax your muscles."
