After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Chapter 32: Bai Zhi's Scheme

When Wen Baizhi woke up, it was already dark.

Cuizhi was guarding the table.

Seeing that she woke up, he brought her a glass of water.

"The young lady must be exhausted. She has slept till now."

Wen Baizhi took the water and drank it: "What time is it now?"

Cuizhi said: "The sun has set."

Wen Baizhi thought of the strange dream she had today and asked, "Did anyone enter my tent while I was sleeping?"

Cuizhi shook her head: "There shouldn't be any. There are always people patrolling outside. Besides, this is the governor's tent. Who dares to come in casually?"

Wen Baizhi thought she was dreaming at the time, but now that she has woken up, she realizes how real the touch was.

She even remembered the touch of that person's cheek.

"You are right. This tent belongs to the governor. Apart from the governor himself, who else can have the courage and legitimacy to come in?"

When Wen Baizhi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, she found that she had indeed moved from sleeping on the outside to the inside, just as she had dreamed.

Even the outside of the quilt had wrinkles that showed obvious signs of someone having pressed on it.

I guess he left in a hurry and forgot his usual rigor.

A smile flashed across Wen Baizhi's eyes.

She asked, "Has the governor been here?"

Cuizhi thought for a moment and said, "I was called by Ping'an to pack my things at that time, so I didn't notice whether the governor came."

It turned out to be the case.

This person also knows how to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and after getting Cuizhi away, it will be convenient for him to come in.

Wen Baizhi couldn't help but laugh secretly.

So should she pretend to know or not?

If it was the real Wen Baizhi, he would probably avoid talking about it.

But she was clear inside.

She lifted up her skirt and sat cross-legged at the table. "Go find Ping An and tell him that the car I took today was a bit bumpy and I'm still feeling a bit uncomfortable. Ask him to tell the governor and ask him to find a doctor for me."

Cuizhi said nervously, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? I'll go find Ping'an now."

Wen Baizhi didn't want her to be anxious, so she said, "Don't worry, maybe you're just tired from the car ride. Anyway, just go find Ping An."

Cuizhi hurriedly agreed and left the tent.

In less than a cup of tea, Ping An and Rong Heng arrived.

As soon as Rong Heng came in and saw Wen Baizhi sitting quietly, he could tell that her condition was not as serious as she said.

He couldn't help but look at Ping An suspiciously: "Si Jiu came to me and was so anxious that he almost died. He said that his wife was dying and asked me to come quickly. This, this looks okay."

Ping An looked at Rong Heng at a loss, then looked at Wen Baizhi, who indeed seemed to be fine, and stammered, "I don't know either."

Wen Baizhi looked at the two of them leisurely and asked, "Where's Si Jiu?"

Rong Heng's expression flashed with inquiry, and he asked, "You called us here just to see Si Jiu?"

Wen Baizhi did not answer his question but turned to ask Ping An: "Where is your supervisor?"

Ping An hesitated and said, "The governor is busy with official business. He will come to see the lady when he is done."

Wen Baizhi didn't believe this: "When I first arrived today, you said he would come to have dinner with me in the evening. Now it's dinner time, where is he?"

Ping An was a little flustered when questioned: "That's what the governor told me today. Maybe something delayed me."

Wen Baizhi said coldly: "You said now that he would come to see me when he is done with his work, but there is no guarantee that he will be done tomorrow. By then, he will have a new excuse. Since Doctor Rong came with the team, according to Si Jiu's personality, it must be because his health is really not good."

Ping An was speechless, but Rong Heng was very appreciative of Wen Baizhi.

Wen Baizhi finally said, "Go back and tell your governor that if he doesn't come to see me within half an hour, I will return to Kyoto overnight."

Ping An said anxiously, "Madam, you must not do that. This place is deep in the mountains. It is very dangerous to walk at night if you can't see. What will we do if something happens?"

Wen Baizhi said leisurely: "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you and your governor. As long as he comes to see me, I will stay here quietly."

Ping An didn't know whether she would really do such a thing, but he knew that given how much Du Gong cared about her, if she really left at night, Du Gong would probably go crazy.

He was so anxious that he forgot to greet Wen Baizhi and left in a hurry.

Rong Heng was still standing in the tent.

Wen Baizhi asked: "Why hasn't Doctor Rong left yet? I lied to you and tricked you here. It's Baizhi's fault, but Baizhi had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I was really anxious because I couldn't find Si Jiu."

Rong Heng expressed his understanding: "I am the same as you. I haven't seen Si Jiu since I came here. It was only thanks to you that I was able to see him when he came to me to treat you."

Wen Baizhi didn't know there was such a reason: "I didn't know he was so busy that no one could see him."

Rong Heng sighed and said, "That's right. He hadn't recovered from his injuries for a while, but he had to run around lobbying for Qiushou. He vomited blood and fainted several times. I asked him to rest more, but he wouldn't do it."

Wen Baizhi stood up immediately after hearing this: "You said he vomited blood and fainted some time ago?"

Rong Heng saw that the anxiety in her eyes didn't seem to be fake, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I shouldn't have said this to you, but I feel that Si Jiu treats you differently, so I rashly told you about his physical condition."

Wen Baizhi nodded repeatedly: "I know, Doctor Rong is also sincerely thinking about him, I feel the same way."

Rong Heng said carefully: "Not only has he been injured and sick for a while, but his stomach problems have become more serious due to his irregular work and rest schedule. He can't sleep well at night. The burden on him is too heavy. The reason why I haven't left yet is because I know Si Jiu will come to see you later, and I have to stay here to treat this disobedient patient."

Wen Baizhi said: "Dr. Rong and I do think the same thing."

Rong Heng finally said: "Madam, if you see Si Jiu, please take good care of him. He has been in a bad condition recently."

Wen Baizhi promised: "I will."

Sure enough, Ping An brought Si Jiu soon.

Si Jiu was not far away from the tent. He was waiting nearby for Ping An's news about Wen Baizhi's health.

When he heard Ping An report to him that Wen Baizhi was unwell, his first reaction was that he had lost control and slept next to her that afternoon, passing his illness on to her.

Instead, he felt relieved when Ping An went to tell him that she was fine.

After all, no one understands the pain of being sick better than him.

He didn't want Wen Baizhi to feel even a little uncomfortable.

When he entered the tent, Rong Heng and Wen Baizhi were both standing there, folding their arms and looking straight at him.

Si Jiu felt like he was being stabbed in the back by those two gazes and subconsciously wanted to leave.

This was the first time Wen Baizhi saw Si Jiu in half a month.

All the dreams she had had in the afternoon were real.

He really looked bad.

The two big dark circles on the bloodless face were very obvious.

The flesh on my cheeks was almost unable to hold on.

How did this guy become so skinny?

Her eyebrows couldn't help but twist together.
