After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

The two of them missed lunch as a result of their sleep, but they did not miss Li Qing who came from the palace to the Governor's Mansion to announce the imperial decree.

After being woken up by Ping An from outside, Si Jiu knew that Li Qing had come.

Wen Baizhi was naturally woken up as well.

Knowing that it was Li Qing who came, Wen Baizhi wanted to just use a broom to chase him out.

Si Jiu smiled and comforted her: "He is just a poor man, don't bother with him, be careful not to get angry and hurt yourself."

The original Wen Baizhi might have thought that this sentence was very correct.

Because Si Jiu became a eunuch, and because the young eunuchs she met in the Governor's Mansion, led by Ping An, were all nice people.

She also thought that people who became eunuchs were pitiful.

Otherwise, who would want to become an incomplete man?

But Li Qing surprised her.

It was not for any other reason, but because when she wanted to threaten Li Qing to take her to see Si Jiu, she couldn't use Qingcheng as a hostage.

She and Qingcheng are both women. She simply told Qingcheng her purpose and Si Jiu's current situation, and Qingcheng was willing to cooperate with her unconditionally to act out a kidnapping scene.

At that time, she also asked Qingcheng what kind of compensation she wanted afterwards.

Qingcheng only said that if possible, she hoped to be redeemed.

Wen Baizhi was trapped in the palace like Si Jiu and couldn't get out.

When she was able to leave the palace, she received news from the secret guards saying that Qingcheng was dead.

He died at the hands of Li Qing.

Poor Qingcheng, she couldn’t even decide what to do with her body after death, but it was taken away by Li Qing.

Wen Baizhi couldn't even do something as simple as burying her.

It was then that she understood why Si Jiu refused to give Wen Bai's body to Qi Yan'an even at the risk of his life, and even cremated Wen Bai's body at the risk of condemnation.

What a person desires before he dies, he will naturally desire after he dies.

What a person did not have before death can be obtained after death, which is also a kind of perfection.

How pitiful and sad it is for people like Qingcheng, who cannot get the freedom they want both before and after their death.

"So I just found out at that time. Although Li Qing looked smiling, he was actually using sinister means to torture you. No one knew it. But he was a favorite of Qi Yan'an. Even if I hated him, I still had to deal with him. I might even have to smile at him. It was really boring."

While helping Si Jiu tidy up his clothes, Wen Baizhi told Si Jiu about Qingcheng and Li Qing.

After everything was sorted out, Si Jiu said to her, "Then you can rest here. I will go to see him by myself. If there is any news, I will let Ping An tell you."

Si Jiu has been in contact with Li Qing for such a long time, so he naturally knows what kind of person Li Qing is.

Wen Baizhi never liked to have too much contact with hypocritical people, either before or after, and Si Jiu naturally understood that.

So he is also willing to work hard to allow her to have the social circle she likes.

"But I'm worried if you go alone, and you're in a wheelchair now. I don't know if Qi Yan'an has any bad ideas to pick on you again." Wen Baizhi revealed her worry everywhere.

Si Jiu comforted her: "This is in my Governor's Mansion. Li Qing will not do anything rash. Besides, His Majesty has promised to let me leave the palace and let me prepare for the princess's marriage. He will not go back on his word. Don't worry."

Wen Baizhi hugged him one last time: "Well, come back early after you finish your work, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare you some medicinal food for dinner."

The scene of how the medicinal food ended up in his stomach that morning was still lingering in Si Jiu’s mind.

Strangely enough, he no longer had the most instinctive resistance to food.

"Okay, wait until I come back."

Li Qinglai naturally didn't come here to cause trouble.

As Si Jiu expected, Qi Yan'an would not slap himself in the face openly.

Either he doesn't let Si Jiu out, then he will have countless opportunities to torture Si Jiu.

But once Si Jiu was released, he would still be busy with the affairs between the two countries, and he would not be able to touch Si Jiu no matter what.

Only he himself knew what Shang Yao had agreed to in order for him to release Si Jiu and Wen Baizhi.

The eldest princess is certainly good, and Shang Yao is certainly his biological sister who suffered a lot for him in his early years.

But the eldest princess also symbolizes the most prestigious and honorable person in Dacheng besides him.

In the past few years, countless people have asked to marry the eldest princess, but they were all rejected by Shang Yao.

In fact, Qi Yan'an wanted Shang Yao to find a good marriage to add fuel to the stability of his imperial power.

But if Shang Yao didn't agree, Qi Yan'an couldn't really force her to get married.

Not to mention forcing her to marry into Chidu.

Even after Shang Yao married Chidu, she provided him with the greatest help.

But he couldn't bring himself to speak first.

Shang Yao knows her only younger brother very well.

Qi Yanan was able to grow from a prince in the cold palace to the ruler of a country today. His character and means are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So she had the bargaining chip to exchange with Qi Yan'an.

That is, she took the initiative to marry to Chidu and asked Sijiu to send her there.

She also explained that this was because Si Jiu had always been a proponent of war, and using him to send Shang Yao off to marry would cause the anger of most of the proponents of war to be vented on Si Jiu.

This was exactly what Qi Yan'an wanted.

Shang Yao even planned to merge all the business run by the princess's mansion in the past few years into the national treasury after she left.

It can be said that Shang Yao used almost everything she had to exchange with Qi Yan'an.

Qi Yanan couldn't help but agree.

This is also the reason why Shang Yao would never tell Wen Baizhi how she got Qi Yan'an to release the people.

Li Qing came this time because there are still many people in the court who are dissatisfied with Si Jiu's original advocacy of war and now his intention to send Princess Shang Yao to marry Chi Du.

Qi Yan'an didn't want to be distracted by these people's thoughts, so he thought of asking Li Qing to come and let Si Jiu go to the palace tomorrow morning to explain everything to them in front of the ministers.

He had dug another hole for Si Jiu to fall into.

But Si Jiu had to jump.

He couldn't refuse.

At least it's irresistible now.

But who knows what will happen in the future?

After saying goodbye to Li Qing, Si Jiu returned to the room.

Wen Baizhi also came back with medicinal food.

When Wen Baizhi heard Si Jiu say that he would go to court again the next morning, she exploded.

"You were tricked by those people into going to the restaurant a few days ago, and you fell down the stairs, which made you unconscious for such a long time. Now that you have finally recovered, I don't agree to let you go to court again."

Wen Baizhi was furious, and Si Jiu just explained: "Bai Bai, I have my own plans for court tomorrow."

"What's the plan?"

"I want His Majesty to marry the princess in advance, seven days from now."
