After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

From the time Shang Yao approached him to the time she returned to the recliner, Fifteen maintained his original posture without changing.

He still knelt there, even though Shang Yao said she didn't like him kneeling, even though Shang Yao kissed him, he still knelt there without moving at all.

After all, having been with him for a long time, Shang Yao has become accustomed to his stubborn temper.

"If you want to kneel, just kneel there," Shang Yao poured herself another glass of water, "How is your injury now?"

Fifteen replied: "Princess, my injuries are almost healed now. I have to thank the doctor you found for me. Otherwise, with my humble status, I would not have the right to receive treatment."

He told the truth.

The secret guards always treated their injuries themselves. If they were cured, it was luck for them; if they were not, it was bad luck for them.

It was indeed a great fortune for him to be treated by a doctor with such superb medical skills as Rong Heng.

Shang Yao did not dare to take credit for it: "You don't need to thank me for being cured. Instead, you should thank Si Jiu Si Du Gong. It was he who found a way to take you away from me and find a doctor to treat you. At most, I only helped to cover for you. He was the one who really did the work."

Fifteen has always been a person who repays favors. Shang Yao said this out of consideration for Wen Baizhi. Letting Si Jiu and Fifteen have a good relationship is not a bad thing for both of them, as they can also take care of each other in the future.

"Fifteen knows."

Shang Yao asked again: "Do you know what the situation of the Chidu Royal Family is now? Why haven't they come to greet us even though our Dacheng team has arrived?"

Chapter 15: "Since returning from successfully assassinating the King of Chidu, Fifteen has never gone out to gather information. He was recovering from his injuries all the way and didn't consider the princess's important matter. It was Fifteen's fault. Fifteen can go back to gather information for the princess later."

Shang Yao raised her eyes to look at him: "I brought more than just you this time. There are other secret guards as well. I think Xiao Liu and the others can also take charge of this matter. You will go find them later and share with them the intelligence and routes you have gathered before. You will continue to follow Si Jiu. I will find you if there is anything."

Fifteen seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shang Yao suddenly became extremely sad.

Just when Shang Yao was confused, Shiwu kowtowed to the ground and then left her room.

Looking at his departing back, Shang Yao became even more confused.

My original intention was just to hope that he could slowly withdraw from the secret guards.

This can not only preserve his physical health and life safety, but also allow him to gradually let go of the humble mentality that he is a secret guard, and then he can be with me as a normal person.

Did she do something wrong?

She had always wanted to pull Fifteen out of his original class misunderstanding. She hoped that Fifteen would no longer have to do dangerous things like a secret guard. She also hoped that Fifteen would no longer feel that he was not worthy of being with her just because he was a secret guard.

Shang Yao had long since lost interest in love. She even only needed the emotional value that Fifteen provided her.

But she would never know that the reason why Fifteen was still by her side was because he thought he was still useful to her.

He was willing to be the fastest knife in her hand, and he was even more willing to protect her like this and complete all the tasks she asked him to do.

So when she said that she would no longer leave the rest of the matters to him, Fifteen felt even more lost.

And fall into deeper fear.

He has lost the last bit that Shang Yao could use. How should he get along with Shang Yao in the future?

The two of them kept a lot of things in their minds and didn't say them clearly, and finally ended up with the most regrettable ending.

At the same time, after treating Shang Yao and his group coldly for a day, the Chidu royal family finally extended an invitation to them on the second night after they arrived in Chidu.

When Si Jiu received the invitation, it was the day after he had been drinking. He was suffering from a headache and had to ask Rong Heng to give him acupuncture to feel better.

"It seems that you will go to the palace tonight to discuss Shang Yao's marriage." Wen Baizhi fed a mouthful of white porridge to Si Jiu who was leaning on the bed.

Si Jiu swallowed the porridge and said, "We should have done something like this yesterday when we entered the city, but they delayed for a day and arranged for someone to come drink with me and apologize last night. I guess drinking was a cover, and the real reason was to come here to get information."

Wen Baizhi's hand holding the spoon was suspended in the air while she was thinking: "No wonder I was wondering why they had to wait until night to find you, and they only found you. Aren't Mei Cong and the others all from Dacheng? But they didn't expect that you, the thinnest one, would drink the most, and they didn't get any benefit at all."

Si Jiu was also a little embarrassed by her praise: "Now that I think about it, they did want to get some information out of me last night, but they didn't succeed."

Wen Baizhi continued to feed him: "You are a hero, but you scared me to death. Your body can't drink so much alcohol. I am even more afraid of you when you drink and then vomit. If I were a little girl who knew nothing, I might stop you from suffering. But I know what you are doing best, and I understand your difficulties. I don't want you to have regrets at this time, so I can only watch you drink, and then have stomachache and fever..."

Wen Baizhi couldn't continue speaking. All the hardships that Si Jiu had endured appeared before her eyes one by one.

She understands him best and loves him the most.

Si Jiu saw her expression change and his eyes showed heartache, so he opened his arms and hugged her.

"Bai Bai, you don't know how grateful I am that you are here now. If you weren't here, I would have managed to make it through, but it would have been very difficult. But now that you are here, I feel inexplicably at ease. I always feel that no matter how miserable I am now, you will always be behind me, hugging me, giving me strength and support."

He paused several times while he said this, and when he spoke again he was choked with sobs.

Wen Baizhi understood.

Those who are best at hiding their love are the least likely to express it.

She was already surprised that Si Jiu could now express his gratitude and love to her so directly.

She is willing to tolerate all his inferiority, sensitivity, and timidity, and is even more willing to slowly help him feel and express love.

She hugged him back tenderly: "It's a little early to thank me now, because I will always be with you in the future, no matter where we go, no matter when, it won't be too late for you to thank me then."

The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time.

It was not until the evening that Si Jiu got dressed and took Mei Cong with them to escort Shang Yao to the Chidu Palace.

Originally, Wen Baizhi was sitting in the room, reading a book and eating melon seeds, waiting for Si Jiu to come back.

But she never expected that Ping An would come to her in a hurry.

"Oh no, ma'am, something happened in the palace."
