In the six days that followed, Si Jiu was extremely busy.

After all, the time available for preparation has been shortened a lot, so naturally we have to race against time to complete the assigned tasks.

Of course, Wen Baizhi was not idle either.

She first wrote down the remaining part of the Book of All Peoples, and then she and Cuizhi, taking Si Jiu's letter, exchanged all the money that could be exchanged in Kyoto for silver notes.

In addition to silver bills, she also prepared a lot of hard currency.

After all, no matter what era it is, gold will never deceive you.

Everyone in the Governor's Mansion has been extremely busy these days.

But they didn't want outsiders to see anything unusual, so while they were busy, they also did a good job of disguising themselves.

In this way, under Wen Baizhi's orderly arrangement, their migration plan is progressing steadily.

But I haven’t seen Si Jiu much in these few days.

On the one hand, he came back too late, and every day it seemed like there were endless things to discuss and decisions to make.

On the other hand, it was also because Wen Baizhi was too tired during the day. Every time Si Jiu came back late at night, she would be so tired that she fell asleep directly.

When Wen Baizhi woke up the next day, Si Jiu had already gotten up and disappeared.

Therefore, these few days, the two of them formed a magical situation where they were living under the same roof but unable to see each other.

On the last day before the princess's wedding, Si Jiu got up early as usual and went to the palace to check again the series of arrangements for the princess's wedding the next day.

He sat in the carriage with difficulty, unable to stand due to the pain in his back.

Even my legs, which had not yet fully recovered, were aching.

It must be about to rain, otherwise his body wouldn't be in so much pain.

But he was also very worried about what to do if it rained when the princess was to be married tomorrow.

Ping'an was driving the car outside and didn't notice what Si Jiu was doing inside.

Si Jiu stretched out his hand to make a fist and kept hitting the painful area hard to relieve his originally unbearable pain.

But the results were minimal.

He could endure the pain on his back, but his injured leg was a little unbearable.

After all, this leg was beaten with a stick when he was in the palace, and then he fell down the stairs, and it has not recovered properly until now.

Although he has been traveling in a wheelchair these days, he has not been able to get a good rest. If this continues, he will probably become lame.

But he had no intention of thinking about the future. What he had to do now was to leave Kyoto with Wen Baizhi as soon as possible.

They soon arrived at the palace gate. Si Jiu got out of the car with Ping An's help and got back into the wheelchair.

These days he went into the palace in his wheelchair.

I don't know if the young eunuchs passing by were instructed by someone, but no one came forward to help him push the wheelchair.

Over the past few days, the palms of Si Jiu's hands were also worn out.

The wound, which had not healed before, became more serious again.

But fortunately, Wen Baizhi did not see his injuries.

That's good.

Another important thing he had to do when he came to the palace today was to find the right person and opportunity so that when Qi Yan'an left the palace to see the princess off tomorrow, he could take Wen Baizhi's new Book of All People to the secret room and replace it with the old one.

Si Jiu had been to that secret room many times. Although he knelt there every time, he knew where the items were stored.

Having served as the Governor for so many years, Si Jiu naturally had his own spies in the palace.

Although Qi Yan'an was suspicious by nature, he couldn't find all the spies after all.

There will always be a few that slip through the net.

What Si Jiu needs to do is to find those people, and then have them perform their respective duties and accomplish the task of replacing one thing with another.

Wen Baizhi was also nervous that day.

She still couldn't control herself and explained to Cuizhi that if she left Kyoto, she would not come back in the short term.

She gave the choice to Cuizhi herself.

Whether Cuizhi follows her or not, she respects Cuizhi's choice.

If she stayed, she would give Cuizhi enough money to last her a lifetime.

If Cuizhi went with her, then she would just be Cuizhi's sister, and the two of them would no longer be master and servant.

However, Cuizhi's choice was within her expectations.

Cuizhi said that wherever Wen Baizhi was, that was where Cuizhi was.

She will follow Wen Baizhi until the last moment of her life.

The two of them already had a tacit understanding, and Cuizhi knew what Wen Baizhi was thinking without her having to say much.

Including the fact that the current Wen Baizhi is no longer the real Wen Baizhi.

They all knew it, but they all tacitly chose not to speak or mention it.

If you ask Wen Baizhi if she has any regrets now.

That is, he did not help the real Wen Baizhi to investigate why she was led to the woods outside the city at that time.

Who was the reason why he got injured and fainted under the big tree?

In fact, Si Jiu has been helping her investigate the ins and outs of this matter.

However, due to the lack of surveillance in ancient times, many details of what happened at the time cannot be understood without someone seeing it.

After all, this matter concerns Wen Baizhi's reputation.

After all, this is an era where a woman's reputation is more important than anything else.

If Si Jiu investigates this matter, once the scope is expanded, many people will inevitably know that Wen Baizhi was once deceived by a man into the woods outside the city, which will have a bad impact.

Although Wen Baizhi didn't care about this at all, Si Jiu did.

The fact that Wen Baizhi had married a eunuch like him had become a topic of conversation for many people.

Apart from this, he wanted Wen Baizhi not to be criticized by anyone.

Wen Baizhi understood his thoughts and just let him do what he wanted.

But in this way, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the real culprit.

Finally she let it go.

She will take Wen Baizhi's share and live a good life together.

The night before departure, Si Jiu did not return home all night.

But he sent Ping An back with a message, telling her not to worry.

And took from her the copy of the Book of All Nations that she had made for tomorrow's replacement.

Wen Baizhi gave Ping An a lot of instructions and asked him to convey them to Si Jiu.

Finally, the day arrived for Shang Yao to get married.

Everything had already been prepared outside the palace gate according to the rituals.

Inside the palace, Si Jiu was also nervously preparing to replace the Book of All Peoples.

Qi Yanan changed his clothes with the help of Li Qing.

Si Jiu was guarding outside the palace.

It’ll be almost done, it’ll be almost done, just wait until he gets out.

At the same time, Shang Yao also set out from the palace to get married.

Everyone is waiting for the auspicious moment to arrive.

After Li Qing tidied up Qi Yan'an, he said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is almost here. Please move outside the palace and send the princess off to marry."

"it is good."

Qi Yan'an took a big step and walked out of the palace.

Si Jiu respectfully watched Qi Yanan leave, and only stood up from the wheelchair after all the people guarding here were his people.

Yes, he could bear the pain and walk such a distance without being discovered.

And just as he entered the secret room and replaced the original Book of Nations into his own arms.

Just when he was about to leave the secret room.

Qi Yanan is back.
