After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

This was probably the first time that Wen Baizhi learned so completely from Si Jiu why he wanted to restore his sense of taste.

It was also the first time she clearly saw how important she was to Si Jiu.

Just as she cherishes Si Jiu so much, Si Jiu also treats her with the same heart.

"So do you think now is a good time for you to recover your sense of taste?" Wen Baizhi asked.

Si Jiu told her his thoughts: "This time in Yunzhou, there are not as many miasma as I imagined. Maybe it's because we are far away from the deep mountains in Yunzhou, so the miasma is not that serious. In addition, as I said, this is a risky thing. Even Rong Heng can't guarantee that he will succeed. So all we can do is take a gamble. If we fail, we can buy time to recover as soon as possible, which will not affect our future."

It has nothing to do with us. Everything now is Wen Baizhi's business.

Even Si Jiu risked his life to come to Yunzhou for her.

"It seems that you have already made this decision in your mind and you have considered all the consequences. If that's the case, I certainly can't say anything to disagree with you. On the contrary, no matter what, I will support you, Zijin. What should we do next?"

After all, this concerns Si Jiu's own health, and Wen Baizhi can't make any decision for him.

Si Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I have to talk to Rong Heng about this first. After his previous failure, he is actually a little afraid to do it again. I can understand him, so I will help him solve the last step of his heart knot. Then arrange a time for treatment as soon as possible. As I said, the sooner it is solved, the better."

"Okay," Wen Baizhi responded, "What should we do about Qi He?"

Si Jiu said, "There's no rush over there. My people have found out that there are many people in Qi He's escort agency who are escorting outside recently. Besides, the purpose of finding them is just to provide a backup and guarantee when His Majesty threatens us. Now His Majesty hasn't reached that point yet, so we can't rush to tell Qi He and his men our purpose. Otherwise, Qi He will think that our motives are impure and he will no longer trust us, which will be a loss."

I have to say that when it comes to such mental work, Si Jiu's brain is more useful than Wen Baizhi's.

She couldn't get around these things anyway.

The most she could say was, "You're right. I'll listen to you."

After dinner, Si Jiu went to find Rong Heng.

Rong Heng was still tinkering with his herbs and medical books in the backyard.

It was as if there was nothing else in his world that could interest him.

"Why did you come to see me at this hour?"

Rong Heng was a little surprised to see Si Jiu appear here.

Si Jiu helped him sort the various herbs skillfully: "Why, can't I come to your place? When I was in the Governor's Mansion, didn't I often come to your place to help you?"

Rong Heng smiled, his hands moving non-stop: "You also said that it was all when we were in the Governor's Mansion before. It has been a long time. Now we are in Yunzhou, and you have your own lover, so your coming this time is indeed a little uncomfortable for me."

Si Jiu guessed what he would say: "Speaking of Yunzhou, I should apologize to you."

Rong Heng was puzzled: "What are you apologizing to me for?"

Si Jiu: "You were originally arranged by your master to come here to treat my illness just because your master is familiar with my mother. I am already very sorry for you. Now I asked you to follow me here and there. Now you are in Yunzhou again. It seems that I brought you here without asking whether you are willing. So I really want to apologize to you for this."

This made Rong Heng even more at a loss: "Si Jiu, did you take the wrong medicine? The medicine I prescribed for you these days is fine. Why did you talk nonsense? You were not such a talkative person before."

Indeed, Si Jiu had always been a taciturn person before.

Even during treatment, when it hurt the most, he didn't say a word. How do you expect him to say anything to you in normal times?

Si Jiu didn't know what he was thinking of, but when he heard Rong Heng say that, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Maybe I really didn't know how to express my true thoughts to others before, and now I have been taught by others."

Even with his toes, Rong Heng could tell that the person Si Jiu was talking about who taught him a lesson was Wen Baizhi.

He suddenly felt that Si Jiu came here not to apologize to him, but to show off to him that he, Si Jiu, had a good wife.

"I say, if you came here to show off to me that you have a good wife, then you have achieved your goal. Don't help me with the work, and don't say these hypocritical words. Go back and have a rest."

"Rong Heng." Si Jiu called his name.

Rong Heng subconsciously stopped what he was doing: "I know what you want to say, and I understand it all, Si Jiu. To me, you are no longer the patient that my master entrusted to me. I have long regarded you as my friend, so traveling around for a friend is nothing. Besides, I like to look for herbs everywhere and test their efficacy. The more places I go, the happier I am."

He spoke with such sincerity that even Si Jiu was moved by him.

"Thank you, Rong Heng."

Rong Heng covered his ears and almost jumped up: "Alright, alright, stop talking. I really can't stand it if you keep talking."

Si Jiu smiled and shook his head: "No more, if you don't like to hear it, I won't say it."

But he came with another mission.

"If you don't like to hear this, I'll change the subject. My sense of taste, Rong Heng, I want to ask you to find a way to help me recover from the treatment in the next few days, the sooner the better."

Rong Heng looked at him seriously: "You have already failed once before. Do you want to try again?"

Si Jiu was naturally willing to try again: "Before was before, now is now. I can bear the worst result, so of course I am not afraid. Just feel free to experiment on me. Even if you fail, it will be a gain of experience for you in the future."

Rong Heng was furious: "Si Jiu, how could I possibly want to use your failure to gain experience for myself?"

Si Jiu smiled: "Of course I know you won't do that, but Rong Heng, no matter how bad he is, he can't be worse than he is now. And I want to try, maybe I will succeed. But if I don't try, then I will never succeed."

After that, Rong Heng sat there for a long time without moving.

He was thinking and hesitating.

But in the end he chose to respect Si Jiu's ideas.

"Okay, I promise, I'll try my best for you."

"Thank you very much." Si Jiu thanked again.
