After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Just when Wen Baizhi reached out to explore what this thing was, Si Jiu's cold hand held her hand.

"It hurts. It hurts so much."

This was almost the first time that Si Jiu told Wen Baizhi that he was in pain while he was conscious.

Wen Baizhi was really attracted by his words. She stopped looking at that thing and looked at his face. She then put her hands on his abdomen and continued to rub it.

Wen Baizhi squatted in front of the couch. Seeing this, Si Jiu pulled her sleeve and said, "Don't squat there. You're tired."

Wen Baizhi stood up with a smile: "Take care of yourself first, look how much pain you are in."

After saying that, she sat on the couch like she did before and let Si Jiu rest his head on her legs.

"Is the Governor satisfied now?"

Si Jiu tilted his head and buried it in her arms: "I'm glad you're not tired."

Wen Baizhi rubbed his stomach vigorously with one hand and touched his hair with the other.

"Your stomach is really a big problem. How can I take care of it?" She sounded worried.

Si Jiu felt the hard-earned warmth and said weakly, "Rong Heng has the same problem as you. I have been trying to solve this problem for the past few years, but it seems that I am too disappointing and always disappoint him. Now I disappoint you too."

Wen Baizhi touched the top of his head: "I'm not disappointed, but we don't want to see you being tortured by stomachache all the time. You can't see what you look like now. Your face and lips are as white as before, and you look listless."

Si Jiu stopped talking.

Firstly, he was still thinking about his strip of cloth at the moment, and secondly, he was in so much pain that he didn't have the strength to speak again.

Wen Baizhi did not force him. After rubbing for a while, she found that her previously restless stomach had calmed down.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Ping'an's frightened voice came from outside the tent.

"Sir, the emperor has sent a message asking you to see him immediately."

Wen Baizhi was instantly displeased: "Why is he so annoying? He sent someone to ask me to see him earlier, but now he wants you to see him. Now that you are here, can't he let you relax?"

Si Jiu reluctantly came out of her arms, then slowly sat up straight by supporting himself on both sides.

Wen Baizhi also borrowed some strength from him.

After Si Jiu sat up straight, the first thing he said was to thank him.

Wen Baizhi said: "Why do you always say thank you to me?"

Si Jiu smiled and said, "Just say what you just said in front of me, don't say it in front of others."

Wen Baizhi pouted: "I know, I'm not a child."

Si Jiu slowed down and stood up.

He looked down and saw that his clothes were wrinkled and uneven because he had just curled up there.

Just as he was about to tidy himself up, Wen Baizhi came over, smoothed out his loose shirt, and then tightened the belt.

"I saw the thing inside you," Wen Baizhi began to straighten his outer robe, "I guess your series of reactions just now were because you were afraid that I would see that thing."

Si Jiu knew that she was smart and he could not hide anything from her, so he could only nod and acknowledge it.

But my body was still shaking a little, shaking with fear.

Wen Baizhi helped him smooth out the wrinkles on his outer robe: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me, and I won't ask you, but I don't want this to become a knot in your heart. You should also know that nothing of yours will become a knot in my heart."

Si Jiu moved his lips, but in the end, no word came out.

He walked out of the tent in a frivolous manner, and Ping'an was already waiting there.

The moment he left Wen Baizhi, he turned back into the stern governor he used to be.

In Qi Yanan's main tent, Si Jiu was kneeling below.

Qi Yan'an was flipping through the twentieth memorial that Si Jiu had read since he entered the tent.

"Alas, with the Chidu Kingdom outside watching covetously, and the powerful families inside trying to seize the people's land, it really makes people anxious."

Suddenly, he looked up and seemed to have just discovered Si Jiu kneeling there.

He said in a deep voice: "Li Qing, what's wrong with you? The governor has been kneeling down for so long, and you didn't remind me. I have been reading the memorial for so long."

Li Qing knelt down as well: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I saw that Your Majesty was so worried about the country and I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I forgot about Si Dugong."

Although Si Jiu was kneeling, his back was straight: "I am guilty and I am willing to be punished."

Qi Yanan put down the memorial: "Oh? What crime did Si Aiqing commit?"

Si Jiu said: "I shouldn't have refused to let the lady come when His Majesty summoned her. It's my fault."

Qi Yanan looked at him coldly: "Since you know this is wrong, why don't you let her come to see me?"

Si Jiu knew that Qi Yan'an had always been suspicious. If he was not given a suitable reason today, he would still find an excuse to see Wen Baizhi in the future.

By then, he didn't know if he could defend it.

So he placed his hands on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am grateful for your permission to marry a eunuch like me. However, my wife is dissatisfied with me and despises my eunuch status. She is sarcastic in her words. I really don't want such a shameful woman to come before Your Majesty and pollute your eyes."

Qi Yanan squinted his eyes and looked at him.

He knew Si Jiu was lying. When they were taking a walk together the day before yesterday, it was not like what he said.

He knew that Si Jiu must be hiding something.

He knew Si Jiu's feelings for Wen Bai better than anyone else.

So he didn't think that Si Jiu had fallen in love with Wen Baizhi.

But what other reasons might be behind this that he had not expected?

He knew that time would tell him the answer.

So he asked Si Jiu to stand up: "Alright, alright, then don't meet. After all, I was the matchmaker, and I wanted you to find someone who is considerate and understands you. It would be great. Alas, now you and your wife are resentful of each other, and it's my fault."

Si Jiu kowtowed three more times and said, "Your Majesty, you are being too humiliating when you say this. I am a disabled person, but I have been appreciated by Your Majesty, entrusted with important tasks, and married like an ordinary person. I have cultivated for countless lifetimes. I am forever grateful to Your Majesty."

Si Jiu actually changed his self-proclaimed name. Qi Yanan felt that things were becoming more and more interesting.

He waved his sleeves and said, "I know you are loyal. After all, we have known each other since we were young. I will never worry about you, no matter who I am worried about."

Si Jiu kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When I got up, there was a faint purple bruise on my forehead.

Qi Yanan said: "You should go back and rest early today. The hunt will officially begin tomorrow, so we need to prepare everything properly."

Si Jiu said in a deep voice: "I will definitely not let your majesty down."

Qi Yan'an asked him to leave.

After Si Jiu left, he glanced at Li Qing, and Li Qing immediately slapped himself in the face.

"It's the slave's fault, it's the slave's fault."

Qi Yanan frowned and said unhappily: "Okay, the noise is giving me a headache."

Li Qing stopped immediately.

"Si Jiu and his wife must be extraordinary. Send someone to follow them and find out the hidden truth behind this for me."
