After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Li Qing, also known as Eunuch Li, was not too panicked when he saw Si Jiu suddenly appear.

After all, he came here on the orders of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, he straightened his back unconsciously.

"What do you mean, Governor? His Majesty wants to see Madam Wen. Are you going against His Majesty?" Although Li Qing had a smile on his face, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a fake smile.

Si Jiu stood in front of Wen Baizhi and blocked her calmly: "This is my wife's first time participating in the autumn hunt. She had a bumpy journey yesterday and caught a cold when she got here. She is not fit to meet the emperor."

When Wen Baizhi heard this, she immediately coughed a few times and pretended to be weak, "Yes, my head hurts so much and I keep coughing. I really can't go to see His Majesty. I don't want to pass my illness on to Him and punish me. I can't afford it."

Li Qing looked at her face and saw that it was rosy, and she obviously did not look sick.

But he didn't dare to confront Si Jiu directly, and said hesitantly: "Although Madam Wen is ill, the emperor wants you to go there to reward you, so why don't you insist on going to see her and come back after the meeting, it won't affect anything. Besides, if you are sick, there is no one with more advanced medical skills than the imperial physician who is with the emperor. Ask the imperial physician to take your pulse and I guarantee that you will get better soon."

Wen Baizhi huddled behind Si Jiu, reached out and secretly grabbed his clothes and shook them.

Si Jiu said calmly: "Eunuch Li, if His Majesty wants to see my wife just to give her some rewards, then I can also go to accept them on her behalf. It is really inconvenient for my wife, and I have already found a doctor to treat her. The imperial physician is specifically for His Majesty to see, how can other people have the same rights as His Majesty?"

Li Qing knew that Si Jiu was criticizing him from the side, saying that what he had just said was inappropriate.

But he had not spent so many years in the palace for nothing, so he had no choice but to say, "In this case, I will go back and report to His Majesty, and I think His Majesty will understand. If Madam Wen is seriously ill, please do not be afraid to see a doctor, but find some better doctors to see her."

Si Jiu took out a purse from his bosom and stuffed it directly into Li Qing's hand: "I've taken note of it. Thank you for your understanding, Eunuch Li."

Li Qing smiled and stuffed the purse into his arms, said hello and left.

After he left, Si Jiu suddenly lost all his strength and his body fell straight down.

Wen Baizhi, who was behind him, saw this and hurriedly supported him.

"what happened."

Si Jiu only felt his legs go weak, and his brain, which had been tense just now, suddenly relaxed.

He climbed onto Wen Baizhi's arms: "It's just that I didn't eat when I went out this morning, and now I'm a little hungry."

Wen Baizhi helped him sit down beside the couch: "You scared me, I thought you were feeling unwell again."

Si Jiu forced a smile: "I'm not that fragile. I slept well last night."

Speaking of last night, Wen Baizhi actually felt a little nostalgic.

But she thought about how Si Jiu didn't want her to see Qi Yan'an just now, so she asked, "By the way, why did you find all kinds of excuses to prevent me from seeing the emperor just now? Didn't Eunuch Li say that the emperor just wanted to give me a reward?"

It would have been better if he didn't say it, but as soon as he mentioned Qi Yan'an, Si Jiu felt his whole body tremble.

Wen Baizhi had been watching him and naturally noticed his change.

"The Marquis's mansion was confiscated. This was a decision made by His Majesty, right?" she asked carefully.

Si Jiu swallowed the blood in his throat and said, "Yes."

Wen Baizhi stopped asking questions, as she could guess what would happen next.

The Marquis's Mansion was destroyed overnight, leaving only a legitimate son and Si Jiu.

The legitimate son's life was saved and he even had the honorary title of marquis.

But what about Si Jiu? What does Si Jiu have left?

She held Si Jiu's hand and said, "It's all in the past. I know you must have resentment towards the emperor in your heart. I will try my best to avoid seeing him in the future."

Si Jiu finally let go of his worries.

Then he started coughing violently.

Wen Baizhi hurriedly helped him along his back.

Until she saw a trace of red on the corner of Si Jiu's mouth, she said anxiously: "I will go find Rong Heng right away."

Si Jiu held her arm and said, "It's okay."

His voice was a little hoarse because he had just coughed.

Wen Baizhi followed his lead and slowly followed his back: "You didn't eat this morning, and you didn't take the medicine either."

Si Jiu nodded.

Although Wen Baizhi was angry, she couldn't say anything to blame him when she saw how pale and weak he looked.

"Then I'll ask Cuizhi to prepare some easily digestible food. We'll take the medicine after dinner. If you still feel uncomfortable afterwards, I'll call Rongheng over. How do you think that is?"

She was actually questioning her own decision.

A warm feeling passed through Si Jiu's heart: "I'll do as you say."

After his coughing recovered, Wen Baizhi asked Cuizhi to prepare some white porridge and pickles.

"I just think that if you keep eating this porridge, it will taste bland and you must be in a bad mood. This cucumber is a vegetable. I only asked Cuizhi to add a little vinegar. Try it and see if you can eat it. If you can't, don't eat it."

Si Jiu knew that if she didn't know that she had lost her sense of taste, she would find ways to find various edible things for herself.

Although he enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by her, he couldn't bear to see her being so tired and taking the trouble to prepare these things for him to eat.

Especially if his stomach was about to vomit everything out after he ate it, she would definitely blame herself like she did yesterday.

He really couldn't bear to see her like this.

So he said, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much about my food in the future."

Wen Baizhi was puzzled: "Why? It is said that food is the most important thing for people. Although you have a bad stomach and can't eat meat, we can find some food that you can eat."

Si Jiu said calmly: "It doesn't matter what I eat to me."

Wen Baizhi was even more confused: "Why?"

Si Jiu calmly told the truth: "Because I have long lost my sense of taste."

Wen Baizhi was originally sitting next to him, and stood up suddenly upon hearing this.

"What? You said you lost your sense of taste?"

Si Jiu just looked up at her and then nodded calmly.

Many emotions appeared on Wen Baizhi's face.

"When did it happen? Does Rong Heng know about it? Can it be cured?" She asked several questions in a row.

Si Jiu seemed much calmer: "It's been about three years. Rong Heng knows that it can't be cured."

Wen Baizhi stared at him in a daze.

This person is an old friend whom I met for the first time after being reborn three years later.

Outsiders say that he is cold-blooded and heartless, and does not recognize his relatives. He is the most powerful weapon for the emperor.

But only she knows.

How fragile this person is, and what kind of pain he endures day and night.

But he had lost his sense of taste a long time ago.

She looked into his eyes, which were always calm and peaceful.

It seemed as if all the suffering he had endured was nothing to him.

She felt a lump in her throat and felt particularly aggrieved and unfair.

How come such a good person like Si Zijin has become such a tortured Si Jiu?

Her tears ran down her cheeks. Si Jiu was shocked by her tears. He stood up and raised and put his hands down helplessly.

"Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell? I'm going to find Rong Heng. I'm going to find him."

Seeing her cry made him so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

This suffocated him even more than any pain he had ever experienced before.

Wen Baizhi shook her head and said with a sob: "I'm fine, I just want to cry."

Seeing that she looked normal, Si Jiu felt relieved.

He slowly raised his hand, tried to touch her cheek, and wiped away her tears.

"You can tell me anything, and never keep it to yourself, okay?" he said gently.

Wen Baizhi couldn't hold it back any longer and hugged him.
