After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After making sure the door behind her was closed, Wen Baizhi walked directly from behind Si Jiu to in front of Shang Yao.

"Yao Yao, it's me."

Shang Yao seemed very surprised to see her: "Bai Bai, didn't you leave earlier? Why are you here?"

This question stumped Wen Baizhi herself, so Si Jiu had to come out to explain it.

"This is my fault. You didn't leave first. I didn't even tell the princess. My purpose was to make everyone think that you left first. This way it would be more difficult to hide it from the people I wanted to hide it from."

Everyone present knew who the person was who needed to be kept secret, so Si Jiu naturally didn't say his name directly.

Shang Yao was originally lying on the couch, but when she saw Wen Baizhi coming in, she sat up straight and was no longer as alert as before.

"Bai Bai, if I had known it was you, I would have let you in right away."

After saying that, Shang Yao looked at Si Jiu embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, Si Jiu."

Si Jiu smiled and showed his understanding: "Princess, you can do whatever you want."

Now that things were out of the question, Wen Baizhi spoke frankly about her findings.

"Yaoyao, tell me, are you hiding someone here?"

The words were questions, but the tone was extremely certain.

Wen Baizhi must be very sure about this matter which is why she came to ask Shang Yao directly now.

Shang Yao glanced away nervously: "Aren't there only three of us here? There are no other people here, Baibai, don't scare me."

If it were before, Wen Baizhi might have been able to pretend that she knew nothing.

But the situation is special now. Shang Yao has to go to Chidu Country, and Si Jiu is still the person in charge.

From anyone's perspective, she didn't want anything to happen to Shang Yao, and she didn't want to let go of anyone or anything that might hurt Shang Yao.

What's more, Shang Yao is still hiding things at this moment.

"Yaoyao, you and I have known each other for many years, don't you even trust me? You can certainly hide the truth from that person by staying in the room alone, but have you ever thought that we are only here to rest for one night, and we will set off again tomorrow morning. What will happen to that person then? And I smelled a little blood when I just entered the room. Is that person injured, so he can't stay with you any longer?"

Wen Baizhi finally took Shang Yao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, you have left Dacheng now. On this road, we will do our best to protect you, especially me. There are many things that Sijiu is not convenient to do. You can tell me. As long as I can do it, I will help you do it, Yaoyao."

These words immediately dispelled Shang Yao's concerns.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe Wen Baizhi. She is her best friend, how could she not believe her?

It was because the person she was hiding was none other than Fifteen, whom she had sent to Chidu State some time ago to assassinate the king of Chidu State.

Shang Yao sighed lightly and pulled Wen Baizhi to the front of the gauze curtain.

Then she pulled aside the veil, and the bed and the person on it appeared in front of Wen Baizhi.

The person lying on the bed was covered under the quilt, his handsome face was pale.

He seemed to be unconscious, and there was a white bandage on his exposed shoulder.

Wen Baizhi looked back at Shang Yao in disbelief: "Yaoyao, who is this person?"

Shang Yao lowered the gauze curtain again and pulled Wen Baizhi back to the couch where she had just been lying and sat down.

"This man is Fifteen. You should know him. He is one of the secret guards in my princess's mansion. But you probably have never seen what he looks like. After all, he is a secret guard and always lives in the dark."

Wen Baizhi was so smart that she immediately knew that there was something unusual about the relationship between Fifteen and Shang Yao.

"So the assassin who broke in was him? He was seriously injured, right?"

Secret guards usually don't care about their lives. Unless the injury is extremely serious, this person will definitely not let one of his secret guards have the chance to fall down and rest.

So he must have been seriously, seriously injured.

Speaking of Fifteen's injuries, Shang Yao's tone was full of worry and helplessness: "The assassin you mentioned should be him, but before anyone found him, I hid him in my room, so he should not have been discovered. It's just that regarding his injuries, I really don't know what to do."

The reason was simple: Fifteen had not only knife wounds and arrow wounds on his body, but many of the wounds were so severe that they were about to fester.

The fifteenth book is about how he volunteered to go to Chidu despite being seriously injured and still not fully recovered, in order to assassinate the king for Shang Yao.

The king is dead, and Fifteen is almost dead too.

Shang Yao then gave them a brief account of how Fifteen got injured.

When it was mentioned that the king had been killed by Shiwu, Si Jiuxian could not sit still: "But we have not received any news that the king is not here yet."

Shang Yao said, "It should be Chidu who blocked the news. Fifteen has never failed in his attempts, and this time is no exception. Besides, this is the news he brought back at the cost of half his life, so it shouldn't be wrong. I believe him."

Si Jiu stopped talking and just kept thinking about what to do next.

Seeing that the matter had been made public with Wen Baizhi, Shang Yao continued, "Baibai, it's not that I don't trust you and don't tell you this. I was just worried that Fifteen had assassinated the king of Chidu after all. I was worried that if you knew about this, it would cause you trouble, so I didn't tell you the first time. It's definitely not that I don't trust you."

Wen Baizhi said nonchalantly: "Look at what you said, you don't need to explain to me, I know everything. It's just that Fifteen is seriously injured now, and he has been hidden here by you and can't get the best treatment. We do have a very good doctor there, and he can help heal no matter how serious Si Jiu's injuries were before."

Shang Yao was also thinking about how to heal Fifteen's injuries as soon as possible: "But Baibai, how can I send Fifteen from my place to your place? You don't know how scared I was to lose him when I saw him appear in front of me covered in blood. My hands were shaking when I was bandaging his wounds. He had too many wounds, and there was almost no good place on his body. Baibai, I..."

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Wen Baizhi hugged her trembling body directly: "It's okay, Yaoyao, I'll find a way for you, we will definitely find a way to take Fifteen out, don't be afraid."

In fact, Shang Yao has already seen through many things in this world.

She had never been so scared even when she was going to be sent to the Chidu Kingdom for marriage.

But Fifteen was the person she liked, and she couldn't remain calm when she saw the person she loved covered in wounds.

"Thank you Baibai, thank you."

Although Wen Baizhi hadn't really done anything yet, her words were enough for Shang Yao to thank her.

Just as they were thinking about how to transfer Fifteen, there was a knock on the door.

"Princess, the leader is here and wants to check on your safety."

The people in the room looked at each other.
