After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Chapter 281 The Princess Hiding the Assassin

After Ping An told Wen Baizhi about this, she asked Ping An to wait for her outside for a while, as she had to go and talk to Si Jiu about this.

What's more, the way the two of them just acted was indeed a bit ambiguous, and Si Jiu also needed a little comfort.

After bolting the door, Wen Baizhi returned to Si Jiu again.

However, the person who had been hiding under the quilt and refusing to come out, sat down at the head of the bed consciously after hearing that Ping An had arrived.

"Did something happen to the princess?" Si Jiu also heard what Ping An said just now.

Wen Baizhi nodded: "It is said that an assassin went to the princess's courtyard, but it is very strange. We arranged the princess in the back row of courtyards, isn't it to let the danger come to us first? How can the assassin go directly to the princess?"

Si Jiu didn't know the whole story at the moment, so it was difficult for him to make a direct conclusion.

"Can I go and take a look?" Wen Baizhi asked Si Jiu.

After all, the princess and they have a huge difference in status. Under normal circumstances, she really can't go directly to the princess, but now the situation is special, she still has to ask Si Jiu's opinion before making a decision.

Si Jiu knew Wen Baizhi's thoughts: "In theory, we can go. We are responsible for the princess's safety. Now there are assassins around the princess, so naturally we have to go and confirm the princess's condition."

He added: "But don't worry, there shouldn't be any problem with the princess, otherwise it wouldn't be so quiet right now."

Wen Baizhi knew this.

If something went wrong with Shang Yao, there would be chaos here, and she knew it all.

Si Jiu even specifically said this to reassure her, which made her feel very warm.

But Wen Baizhi still had concerns: "But you have already told Qi Yan'an that I have already set off. I am afraid it would not be a good idea for me to show up at the princess' place rashly."

Si Jiu just told her not to worry: "You can just dress up as a eunuch and push me to the princess's courtyard. No one will find me this way, right?"

Wen Baizhi patted her forehead in annoyance: "Look, I have forgotten this method. I dressed up once before when you were trapped in the palace, but now I have forgotten it."

Just like last time, Wen Baizhi disguised herself as the eunuch behind Si Jiu and pushed Si Jiu into the princess's courtyard without any hindrance.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Why are you here so late?"

Si Jiu looked up at him from his wheelchair: "I heard in the front yard that there were assassins around here, and I was worried about the princess's safety, so I came here to see if there was anything wrong, or if there was anything I could do to help."

People have always had a bad attitude towards eunuchs, and this is especially true for the soldiers serving in the palace.

He said in a bad tone: "Thank you for your concern, the safety here is naturally our responsibility. Princess, everything is fine here. As long as you protect yourself, you won't cause any trouble for our entire team."

He said this with a disdainful tone, and even his eyes moved back and forth on the wheelchair where Si Jiu was sitting.

He looked down upon Si Jiu.

Wen Baizhi, who was standing behind him, wanted to go up to him and argue with him immediately.

But Si Jiu has seen all kinds of scenes.

He just smiled faintly, took out some change from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into the soldier's hand.

"We are all responsible for sending the princess to the Red Kingdom. The princess's safety is related to the lives and property of each of us. We still have to travel a long way together. I'd like to trouble you, brother, to be flexible. I will go in to check on the princess's safety and come out when I know my head is safe."

The soldier took the silver and put it into his arms. Even his expression was no longer as impatient as before.

"Look at what the governor is saying. Your Majesty has given the governor full authority to take charge of all matters along the way. Naturally, he can see the princess at any time. I will give way to the governor now."

Si Jiu thanked him with a smile and stuffed a bigger piece of silver into his pocket.

"Brothers, you have worked hard on the journey. Please have some tea."

This time, the man wanted to push Si Jiu's wheelchair directly, which was in stark contrast to his ruthless look just now.

Si Jiu rejected his kindness and walked into the yard under his smile.

Wen Baizhi, who had seen the whole process of the face-changing, only whispered to Si Jiu: "It really is true that money can make the world go round."

The road after that was much easier.

Of course Si Jiu also took care of a lot.

Wen Baizhi didn't know when he had hidden so much silver on him.

However, thanks to the money-giving boy Si Jiu, they arrived at Shang Yao's door smoothly.

Wen Baizhi felt very strange as soon as she got outside the room.

The maids who should have followed Shang Yao were now standing outside the door.

After asking, I found out that Shang Yao was alone in the room now. In the past, she often stayed alone in the room without anyone serving her.

But there was just a report of an assassin, and Shang Yao was alone in the room, which was really suspicious.

Si Jiu saw her worry and knocked on the door, saying, "Princess, I am Si Jiu. I heard that there were assassins just now and I was very worried. I came to see if you need any help."

After a long time, Shang Yao's voice came from the room: "Everything is fine here, Governor, don't worry."

This is clearly an order to expel them.

Wen Baizhi's hands unconsciously squeezed Si Jiu's shoulders.

Si Jiu understood what she meant and continued, "Please forgive me, Princess. I am responsible for your safety this time. I am worried that you are not safe now. Please rest assured, Princess. I am a eunuch and will not cause any trouble to you. If you need any help from me, please tell me."

This is like stepping on himself hard.

It was unknown what Si Jiu said that made Shang Yao change her mind. She said loudly, "I am sorry for being rude. Please come in, Lord Governor."

Only after getting Shang Yao's consent could Si Jiu be pushed into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, Wen Baizhi felt that this room was worthy of a princess's residence.

The room is much bigger than the one Sijiu lives in, and there are many more furnishings inside. If you look closely, they are all extremely exquisite and gorgeous.

The Shang Yao they wanted to see was currently lying on the couch, and a layer of gauze was lowered in front of her bed, so her bed could not be seen clearly.

Shang Yao was a little nervous at the moment.

Although Si Jiu is Wen Bai's lover, she only believes in Wen Bai and will not completely trust Si Jiu.

But because of Wen Bai, she chose to try to trust Si Jiu once.

As soon as Wen Baizhi entered the room, she smelled a faint smell of blood.

Very faint, but there.

Shang Yao was not injured, which meant that there was another injured and bleeding person hiding in the room.

And this person is most likely the assassin that Ping An mentioned, and he is also the person that Shang Yao is protecting at the moment.
