After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Although I had prepared myself mentally, it would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed when after three days of treatment there was no improvement in Si Jiu's eyes.

If Si Jiu has nothing to do later, then it's okay for him.

But the key point is that the time for Shang Yao's matters has been set.

The impact of vision loss is still huge.

The night before, when Si Jiu finished the repetitive acupuncture and eye compresses, he turned over and lay down on the bed again with a little fatigue.

These days, every time he was given an injection, he had to lie flat on the bed.

After a few days, his back injury still didn't heal.

Instead, the bleeding became more and more serious.

In the following days, it was Wen Baizhi who cleaned and reapplied medicine to Si Jiu's back wound.

Today is no exception.

In order to make it easier for Wen Baizhi to treat the wound, Si Jiu's shirt was pulled down to his waist, revealing his thin, pale, yet scarred back.

While wiping the blood off his wound, Wen Baizhi couldn't help but feel lucky in her heart that she no longer needed Si Jiu to remove the scar.

Otherwise, he has scars all over his body now, and if he really wants to remove the scars, he will probably have to suffer pain for a long time.

The seeped blood was wiped clean, and Wen Baizhi prepared to apply medicine to Si Jiu.

She thought about tomorrow's arrangements and felt worried.

"Zijin, are you still going to go to tomorrow's operation?"

Her original intention in asking this question was not that she did not trust Si Jiu.

She always believed that as long as it was something he wanted to do, no matter how difficult it was, he would find a way to do it.

But this time the situation is indeed very special.

Si Jiu's arms were crossed and his head was resting on them.

When Wen Baizhi asked him this, he replied, "Baibai, I may have to trouble you tomorrow."

Wen Baizhi asked: "What does this mean?"

Si Jiu explained, "Tomorrow's event cannot be cancelled easily. All arrangements have been made. The princess has also made a lot of preparations for tomorrow, so we can't let everyone's hard work go to waste just because of me."

Wen Baizhi expected him to say this: "But your eyes haven't healed yet, and your injuries haven't gotten to the point where you can get out of bed. Don't tell me that you're still going to visit the imperial mausoleum tomorrow?"

Wen Baizhi's original intention was just to remind Si Jiu that his current situation was not suitable for doing such a risky thing.

But Si Jiu said, "So Baibai, I just said I need to trouble you. I need you to take me with you to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow to meet with the people arranged before, and command them to rescue the princess together. Tomorrow you will be my eyes, my crutches, my reliance, and my everything."

Si Jiu would not be willing to do such a thing no matter who it is.

He is a man who is used to showing off.

When he was in the Governor's Mansion before, no matter how seriously ill he was, he rarely asked anyone to help him change his clothes or take care of him personally.

Except when one is really seriously ill and unconscious.

But only warm angelica.

Only in front of her could he let down all his guard and accept her help with peace of mind.

The same will happen tomorrow.

That's why he said that only Wen Baizhi could help him do something like this.

Wen Baizhi knows how important tomorrow's event is.

This not only involves her and Si Jiu.

It also involves Shang Yao, Dacheng and Chidu.

Everything is ready except for the east wind. How can she not stand up at this time?

"When I was still Wen Bai, I also deployed troops and arranged battle formations. Some of the knowledge points are still in my mind. If you trust me, I will definitely get things done tomorrow."

Si Jiu was originally lying there, but after hearing what Wen Baizhi said, he struggled to get up.

Wen Baizhi didn't know what he was going to do, but she still reached out and helped him up.

When he sat up straight, the first thing he did was to touch Wen Baizhi's arm with his hand and then hugged her shoulders.

"How could I not trust you, Baibai? You are the person I trust most in this world."

Wen Baizhi's abilities are never confined to small aspects.

She is proficient in many aspects, such as running a shop, winning people's hearts, and even military tactics and formations.

This is the Wen Baizhi that Si Jiu likes the most, and this is also her most confident look.

This night was destined to be a restless night.

Although Si Jiu and Wen Baizhi had already turned off the lights and gone to bed, they were conserving their energy for tomorrow's big event.

But Shang Yao and Qi Yanan, who was still on their way, couldn't fall asleep.

Qi Yan'an already knew that Shang Yao would go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices with the King of Chidu tomorrow.

For some reason, his intuition told him that Wen Baizhi would definitely go tomorrow.

It was just like that time, he clearly only saw her briefly, and he had clearly seen Miss Wen before, but when she met him for the first time after her marriage to Si Jiu, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

How can this not be considered a kind of telepathy, destined by nature?

He always felt that he and Wen Baizhi were the most suitable people in the world.

Li Qing had already been arranged by him to do other things.

At their current pace, they will be able to reach the imperial tomb of the Chidu Kingdom early tomorrow morning.

Li Qing also advised him not to take risks and put himself in danger.

But Qi Yan'an has his own research.

First, he will go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow, where he can meet Shang Yao and the King of Chidu. Many things can perhaps be made clear before the war begins.

In fact, he didn't want the two countries to go to war. All he wanted was to find a reason to severely suppress the aristocratic families.

If possible, he is willing to discuss it with the King of Chidu. If not, he can just pretend to fight a few battles at the border and put on a show for those pampered bigwigs in Kyoto.

When the time comes, whether the fight is real or fake, and how much military pay is needed, it will be up to him to decide.

The second reason is because Wen Baizhi is here.

Every time Qi Yan'an woke up in the middle of the night, he dreamed of Wen Bai.

Even though there were already many people in the palace who looked similar to Wen Bai.

But for some reason, ever since he knew that Wen Bai had become Wen Baizhi, whenever he saw people who looked like Wen Bai, he would become so manic that he wanted to kill them all.

It was at that time that he realized that perhaps he only loved Wen Bai's inner self.

No matter what her appearance is.

He only loves her inner self.

So he came to pick up Wen Baizhi this time.

He wanted to continue what he had not been able to do for Wen Bai before.

Give all that to Wen Baizhi.

He even wanted to persuade Si Jiu to go back.

There is no other reason.

If Si Jiu was still in Kyoto, he wouldn't have to wait until this critical moment where he couldn't find anyone to replace him to go to Chidu.

Instead, he has to come in person.

This was simply the greatest insult to him as emperor.

In the entire court, with so many ministers, there was no one he could trust.

If Wen Baizhi were here, she would definitely criticize him mercilessly.

Qi Yan'an didn't have any maternal clan that could support him enough.

He was able to ascend to the throne at that time because of Shang Yao's mediation on his behalf after she left the palace.

He himself is a prince without any foundation, so the noble families are very confident in using him.

This resulted in him being unable to find any ministers he could fully trust within such a short period of time after ascending the throne.

Except Si Jiu.

But he didn't care anymore.

Now, he only wants to form an alliance with Chidu and bring Wen Baizhi back to Kyoto.

We can wait until we get back to Kyoto to discuss anything.

It's midnight, when everything is quiet.

Wen Baizhi suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She always felt uncomfortable.

She was even a little breathless due to the pressure.

She turned slightly and saw Si Jiu sleeping peacefully in her arms.

Rong Heng gave him some sleeping pills in the evening.

Otherwise, if Wen Baizhi made any movement, he would definitely wake up as well.

The moon outside the window was as cool as water. In the moonlight, Wen Baizhi looked at Si Jiu's sleeping face carefully again.

In fact, no one knows better than her how dangerous tomorrow's events will be.

Qi Yanan will come and Shang Yao will leave.

The origin of the group of assassins who assassinated Si Jiu before has not been found yet.

Everything seemed to be directed at them intentionally or unintentionally.

But if you ask her if she would back down, her answer would definitely be no.

Wherever Si Jiu wants to go, she will definitely accompany him.

Wen Baizhi took out from her arms the dagger that Si Jiu had given her during the autumn hunt.

She sat up straight, pulled out the dagger, and looked at it carefully in her hand.

For some reason, she always felt that perhaps this dagger would soon be able to demonstrate its full potential.

She has no martial arts skills now, so it would be good for her to keep a weapon for self-defense and life-saving.

At this moment, Wen Baizhi certainly didn't know that the dagger given to her by Si Jiu personally would pierce Qi Yan'an's chest in the future.

After daybreak, everything was ready.

Fifteen also brought the latest news about Shang Yao.

The King of Chidu agreed to meet with Sijiu, but the meeting place must be decided by him.

Of course, Shang Yao will be there when we meet.

The location was set in a small pavilion on a hillside ten miles outside the imperial tomb.

Si Jiu agreed.

But he was not unprepared.

He also had his secret guards deployed there to ensure their safety as much as possible.

Although we cannot say that everything will be foolproof, at least we have to get things done.

Before leaving, Si Jiuan sat on a chair and let Wen Baizhi help him comb his hair and dress.

Si Jiu has been lying in bed these days, and he only wears his underwear every time, so it’s not noticeable.

Now he was sitting upright in front of Wen Baizhi, and one could see the clothes on him, which were a little too big for him.

The sleeves were somewhat loose, and the waist was tighter than before.

Wen Baizhi said with some concern: "Zijin, you have lost a lot of weight again."

Si Jiu groped and grabbed her hand: "I am thin to begin with. When this matter is over, I promise you that I will listen to you, eat more, and rest more. I will definitely not give you the chance to say that I am thin again."

Wen Baizhi stood behind him, bent down and hugged him: "You eat well and sleep well not for me, nor for anyone else, but for yourself, stupid Zijin, you have to be responsible for yourself, take good care of yourself, and protect yourself. You are the only one who will always be with you."

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with what she said.

But Si Jiu was delicate and sensitive, and he heard the words that he was the one who accompanied him.

He couldn't help but hold Wen Baizhi's hand tightly: "Baibai, what about you? Aren't you always with me?"

Wen Baizhi patted his head: "I will definitely always be with you, I just said that, don't I still hope that you can be fine, with me or without me, you have to be fine."

Instead of comforting Si Jiu, these words made him feel even more uneasy.

He turned around and hugged Wen Baizhi: "Baibai, I will never be well without you. You can't leave me, I know."

Wen Baizhi also realized belatedly how much impact her words would have on Si Jiu, who already felt insecure.

She hugged him guiltily and slid along his back: "Okay, okay, I will definitely stay with you all the time, don't worry, what I said just now was wrong, I apologize to you, okay."

With her words of comfort, Si Jiu's mood slowly calmed down.

There is only the last strand of hair left to comb.

Wen Baizhi signaled Si Jiu to let her go because she was going to help him comb his hair.

As before, she tied all his hair up high and put a crown on it.

Time seemed to have gone back to last year's autumn hunting when she helped Si Jiu put on his hair crown.

Wen Baizhi looked at the image of the two of them reflected in the mirror. It was so harmonious and perfect.

"I will go with you in the carriage later. Qi He and the others have already gone. With their help, I think we will be more confident."

Wen Baizhi hasn't been able to fall asleep since she suddenly woke up last night.

The uneasiness in my heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Now she can only hope for more help.

Her worries were justified.

At this time, not far from the pavilion, there were three groups of people interspersed here and there.

In addition to the secret guards sent by Si Jiu, there are also people from Qi Yan'an's side.

The most important one is a team that had previously tried to assassinate Si Jiu.

They have come back again and are determined to wipe out Si Jiu completely.

But why didn't these teams notice each other's existence?

That's because the pavilion is surrounded by forests on all sides.

They happened to be located in the woods on different sides.

Of course, there were also people lying in ambush in the last forest.

Those were the people planted by the King of Chidu.

The small pavilion was surrounded by experts.

Si Jiu and his group, Qi Yanan's large group, and Shang Yao and his group all set out almost at the same time.

Everyone has different goals.

But they all meet in the same place.

On the carriage heading to the destination, not only Wen Baizhi felt uneasy, but even Si Jiu began to feel anxious.

"Bai Bai, I always feel like something is wrong. How about I ask them to send you back? I'll come back to pick you up when I'm done with my business here."

But Wen Baizhi said, "Almost everyone has gone to the imperial mausoleum now. Even if I stay, no one will protect me. It's better for me to go with you. If there is any problem, we can run away as soon as possible."

She said this, but Si Jiu was still very uneasy.

"Then don't run around later. Make sure you follow me closely. We'll leave as soon as this is over."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Wen Baizhi hugged Si Jiu's slightly trembling body.

Little did they know that this would be their last hug for some time.
