After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

As all the ceremonies were concluded, Shang Yao bowed her hands and said goodbye to Qi Yan'an in front of everyone.

The Queen stood beside Qi Yan'an, looking at Shang Yao who was about to leave with some sadness.

What’s the use of having a noble status? In the end, you will still have to marry far away.

But I can't make any decision at all.

"Royal sister, you must be careful on this trip." Qi Yan'an's throat felt like it was clogged with cotton, making it difficult for him to speak.

Shang Yao looked at his younger brother, whom he had watched grow up, calmly.

How long has it been since I heard the title "Royal Sister" from his mouth?

Before his younger brother was born, their mother was imprisoned in the cold palace because the late queen discovered that she had secretly poisoned the prince.

The late emperor made an exception and allowed her to be raised as an unfavored noble outside the cold palace, considering that her mother was pregnant and that she was a princess.

Only Qi Yan'an had been in the cold palace since birth.

So ever since Qi Yan'an was born, Shang Yao felt extremely guilty towards him.

This guilt reached its peak when her mother died.

She still remembered that time when she hugged little Qi Yan'an, she told Qi Yan'an that she would work hard to grow up to be a sister who could protect him.

As it turned out, she did it later.

And it’s done very well.

Qi Yanan's several successes are closely related to her sacrifices.

At that time, Qi Yanan must have been very grateful to her sister.

When did it start?

When he saw her, he no longer called her "royal sister" as intimately as before, but called her "eldest princess" as a routine.

A lot of things have changed, Shang Yao knows.

But she couldn't change anything.

Perhaps going to Chidu is her last resort.

It is also the best place for the little family affection that is left between her and Qi Yanan.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to send me off again."

She still used such a distant name until the end.

Perhaps from this time on, she can only be the princess of Dacheng, and no longer Qi Yanan's sister.

Qi Yan'an originally wanted to say something, but he lost interest when she called him "Your Majesty".

"In that case, Princess, let's go."

Shang Yao finally kowtowed to him.

She doesn't need a brother like him in her life.

The large group started to set off after Shang Yao got into the sedan chair.

Si Jiu's carriage followed closely behind.

As soon as he got in the car, Si Jiu was hugged by Wen Baizhi.

Yes, Wen Baizhi did not actually leave Kyoto early.

Si Jiu just wanted Qi Yanan to think that she was gone. Even if he really realized it, he would not have time to get Wen Baizhi back.

Si Jiu knew all of Qi Yan'an's thoughts and motives clearly.

Wen Baizhi held Si Jiu in her arms contentedly: "Finally, we can leave this place."

It was when she got on the carriage and was really about to leave Kyoto and leave Qi Yan'an that she felt relieved.

It was only now that she realized that Si Jiu might only be well-behaved and quiet in front of her.

Just looking at his various arrangements, his management of the Governor's Mansion, and even the fact that he dared to snatch people from Qi Yan'an face to face, it is enough to show that Si Jiu is actually a very good planner.

"Yeah." Si Jiu lay in Wen Baizhi's arms, not wanting to move.

Wen Baizhi initially thought that he was just tired and didn't want to talk much. After all, Si Jiu had been so busy in the past few days that he didn't even have time to sleep.

She didn't bother him anymore, but changed her position so that he could rest his head on her legs and sleep more comfortably.

It just so happened that she was also very sleepy, and she didn't sleep well at night when Si Jiu was not around.

So she leaned against Si Jiu's soft body in the back and fell asleep as the carriage swayed.

But as the carriage went farther and farther and was about to reach the post station to rest, Wen Baizhi gradually woke up and discovered that something was wrong with Si Jiu.

Si Jiu seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, with no change in expression on his face.

But his cheeks looked a little red.

This was not like his usual self.

Wen Baizhi touched his forehead and found that he had a fever.

Fortunately, the team had stopped at the post station at this time, so she could take Si Jiu off the car for treatment.

Because Shang Yao was also in the team, these post stations had been arranged in advance and all were cleared.

But Shang Yao has a special status, so she lives in the back yard, while Si Jiu and the others live in the front.

There are too many people here, and there are also messengers from Chidu, so it is not convenient for Wen Baizhi to look for Shang Yao at any time.

The rooms at the post station are not as big as those in some inns in Kyoto.

There is just a bed, and the rest is a desk and a chair.

Rong Heng naturally had to go with the troops, and he soon arrived at Si Jiu's place.

Si Jiu was unconscious due to a high fever, but after taking his pulse, Rong Heng said that the situation this time was not as serious as the last time and that he would be fine after taking some medicine.

Then he checked Si Jiu's injured leg.

"Look, his leg seems to be getting worse."

He pointed at Si Jiu's legs and showed them to Wen Baizhi.

How could Wen Baizhi not see that the condition had become more serious? The white cloth that had been used for bandages was now stained with blood.

"Maybe he went through some things during his time in the palace."

Only after Wen Baizhi knew that Si Jiu was not seriously injured this time did she feel relieved to send Rong Heng out to rest.

After Rong Heng left, Wen Baizhi placed a cold towel on Si Jiu's forehead to cool him down.

The Queen didn't go to help Si Jiu all of a sudden.

But after the last time they separated from the Queen, they developed a friendly feeling towards each other. Wen Baizhi also knew the time every month when the Queen would send people out of the palace to purchase things.

It just so happened that the shopping time this month coincided with Shang Yao's wedding.

She was really worried that Si Jiu would not be able to replace the Book of All People by herself in front of Qi Yan'an, so she wrote a letter and asked the Queen's maid to bring it to her.

The letter only asked the Queen to help take care of Si Jiu.

In the end, God had mercy on this poor couple and made the queen appear when Qi Yan'an was about to discover Si Jiu.

This is why everything went smoothly afterwards.

It can be said that the two of them complement and rely on each other.

Si Jiu fell asleep suddenly, and Wen Baizhi didn't know where he had put the Book of All People.

But she's in no hurry.

She knew that Si Jiu was very tired.

She was willing to let him sleep a little longer.
