After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

The reason why Wen Baizhi did not go out with Si Jiu was because her whereabouts still needed to be kept secret from the outside world.

After all, Qi Yan'an is still trying to find a way to catch her.

And now Si Jiu and his group are representing Dacheng, and the person they sent here is the princess.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to imagine that the Red Kingdom would tamper with this matter.

To put it in a broader sense, it is disrespectful to Dacheng.

Once Chidu violates the established peace code first, then whatever actions Dacheng takes afterwards will be justified.

But now Ping An actually said that something happened.

Wen Baizhi asked calmly: "What happened? Tell me about it."

Ping An adjusted his breathing silently. "We followed the Duke to the palace, but we were stopped outside the palace. But the Duke told us not to worry. In fact, we have always been accompanied by many secret guards. In the end, the ones who followed the princess and the Duke in were Chief Mei and his men, as well as the princess's secret guards and the Duke's secret guards."

Ping An's words didn't sound like anything serious.

"So what happened?"

Ping An explained the causes and now was ready to talk about the consequences: "The problem is that the matter should have been ended long ago, but the governor who came back from the palace has not returned until just now. Not only that, none of the secret guards we sent out before came back to reply. It's as if everyone disappeared out of thin air in the Chidu Palace."

Wen Baizhi now knew why Ping An was so flustered: "Where's the princess? Where are Chief Mei and the others? Haven't they come out yet?"

Ping An shook his head helplessly, "No one has come back yet. The only one who might come out with news is the princess's secret guards, but how can we contact the princess's secret guards? So now everyone who has entered the palace has no news. Madam, what should we do? Do we need to write a letter to Dacheng to report?"

Wen Baizhi sneered: "Finish the book? Wait for the news from there? If we had the time to wait for a letter, Si Jiu and the others would have been rescued by us, or they would have been killed by them."

Ping An was a little confused: "What should we do, Madam? The rest of us are downstairs. Don't worry, Madam. No matter what the Dugong does, the rest of us brothers will definitely protect you to a safe place. This is also what the Dugong has repeatedly reminded us of before."

Wen Baizhi had no time to consider Si Jiu's previous arrangements. She thought while saying, "If only Si Jiu was trapped in the palace, it would be normal, but they shouldn't have taken the princess with them, unless their purpose is something we can't think of for the time being. Just now you said that the princess's secret guards also went with them, but you couldn't contact them, right?"

Ping An nodded.

Wen Baizhi couldn't help but think of someone.

"I'll go find Doctor Rong. Don't worry. After all, we are here on behalf of Dacheng. No matter what, they dare not do anything to Sijiu and the others. What you need to do now is to stabilize the remaining people. We must not make a mess. This way, we will not cause trouble for Sijiu and also protect ourselves."

Ping An admired Wen Baizhi's calmness at the moment, and he began to reflect that he was indeed too panicked just now.

"Everything depends on Madam."

Wen Baizhi then found Rong Heng.

To be precise, she came to find Fifteen.

She deliberately sent Rong Heng away and got the chance to be alone with Shiwu.

It’s not that she doesn’t know Shang Yao’s secret guards. At least she knows fifteen of them.

She briefly shared with Fifteen the news she had heard from Ping An.

Looking at the man's cold and silent face, Wen Baizhi said, "We have no way to contact the palace now, so the only one I can think of is you. You are Shang Yao's secret guard and have been to the Chidu Palace before, so you should be able to go to the palace to find out their news."

Wen Baizhi spoke very cautiously, and at the same time she felt that it was inappropriate to drag Fifteen into an adventure like this.

After all, Fifteen was the person Shang Yao liked, and she knew it.

She even saw the serious injuries he suffered fifteen years ago.

But she had no other choice but to be selfish.

She certainly found the right person.

Because Fifteen is the person in the world who is most willing to sacrifice his life for Shang Yao.

Especially after Shang Yao told him not to continue being her secret guard.

At this moment, Fifteen is eager to find an opportunity to continue proving himself.

He wanted to stay with Shang Yao, no matter what the cost.

"I'll go." Fifteen thought for a very short time and then gave his answer.

Wen Baizhi hesitated, which was unusual for her: "The situation is very complicated now. There is just no news about them in the palace, but I think they must be safe. So when you go to the palace to find out the news, you may only get the news that they are safe. They may be released soon, but you may be exposed to various dangers. In serious cases, you may be injured as seriously as last time. You may also..."

Wen Baizhi paused and didn't continue talking.

Fifteen knew all she said.

"Madam Wen, I am very grateful that you came to tell me this news. I am the princess's secret guard. I should always stay by her side and protect her safety, even if it means sacrificing my own life. I am not afraid of the consequences you mentioned, because I am only a secret guard. Those consequences are what I face every time I go on a mission, and I have long been accustomed to them. I was saved by you and Lord Du before, which gave me such a rare period of leisure to recuperate. I haven't had time to thank you and Lord Du yet. After Lord Du and I return from the palace, I will come to thank you in person."

This was the first and last time that Fifteen spoke such a long speech in front of Wen Baizhi.

For a long time afterwards, Wen Baizhi would think about what happened that day.

She and Fifteen had their first and last conversation in Rong Heng's room, which was filled with the aroma of medicine.

"Okay." Wen Baizhi is not a shy person.

Since Fifteen had said so, she naturally had no reason to say anything hypocritical.

"I suggest you wait until midnight before taking action. It's possible that they will be released in the first half of the night. Meanwhile, in the second half of the night, people will fall asleep and relax their vigilance. You can use this time to investigate more."

Wen Baizhi was very brave as she could actually tell a skilled secret guard how to carry out a mission.

But Fifteen still gratefully took note of her words.

"Thank you for your advice, Mrs. Wen. I will consider it carefully."
