After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Chapter 41 Bai Zhi on the verge of violence

Wen Baizhi paced back and forth in the tent anxiously.

Cuizhi saw it and felt anxious.

"Miss, please sit down and rest." She said softly.

Wen Baizhi had no intention of sitting down: "It's been so long and he still hasn't come back. He came back from the palace before with either a knee injury or a back injury. He's been gone for such a long time today and I don't know what kind of injury he's going to get when he comes back."

Cuizhi consoled him, "Perhaps it was just because your majesty and the governor spoke a few more words that he stayed a little longer."

Wen Baizhi: "I hope so."

After waiting for a while, Ping An said from outside, "Master Du, you are back."

Wen Baizhi stood up hurriedly as if she had received an electric shock.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Si Jiu pulling open the curtain and coming in.

After spending a long time with Si Jiu, Wen Baizhi could easily tell whether Si Jiu was in pain.

When he walked in, his back was as straight as usual, but his steps paused slightly.

And the calf was not bent as before, it was as if the leg was just stepped in directly.

Wen Baizhi ordered Cuizhi: "Go find Ping An and call Rong Heng over."

Si Jiu had already walked into the tent, but he couldn't sit down immediately because he had been kneeling for so long.

"Don't go. It's late. Don't disturb him to rest."

Wen Baizhi knew his temper, so she agreed with him: "Then Cuizhi, you go out first. I'll call you if there's anything else."

Cuizhi bowed and stepped back.

Wen Baizhi then walked up to him and asked, "Is your knee uncomfortable again?"

Si Jiu was slightly stunned, as if he was surprised how she knew that.

Wen Baizhi said proudly: "After all, we have known each other for such a long time. As soon as you walk, I know that your knee hurts."

Si Jiu's face was pale, and his thin jawbone looked particularly desolate under the candlelight.

Wen Baizhi held his arm: "I'll take you to sit down by the couch and rest."

Just as Si Jiu was about to speak, Wen Baizhi said, "Don't say thank you to me."

Si Jiu's knee was indeed seriously injured, so he walked very slowly.

When he was still a few steps away from the couch, he could no longer hold on and fell directly onto the bed.

"Zi Jin." Wen Baizhi followed and sat down beside the couch.

Si Jiu lay on the quilt with his face against it: "I'm fine, just a little tired."

Seeing that he was sweating from the pain, Wen Baizhi said immediately, "You can't do this. It must be very uncomfortable. I'll go find Rong Heng now."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Si Jiu hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said, "It's okay, it's just that my knee hurts a little. I'll be fine after a rest. Don't go."

He had buried his face in the quilt, but when he said this he turned his head towards Wen Baizhi.

When Wen Baizhi came back earlier, she was only focused on his legs and didn't notice his face.

Now he was lying on the bed, allowing her to see the bruise on his forehead clearly.

Wen Baizhi frowned: "You also have a wound on your forehead."

Si Jiu reached out his hand and touched his forehead: "Maybe when I came back just now, my legs hurt and I couldn't walk steadily, so I fell to the ground and bumped my head."

He tried hard to find excuses for his injuries.

But Wen Baizhi was not a child, so she could easily guess the origin of his wound.

There were injuries on his knees and forehead, so it was easy to infer that he had been kneeling for a long time and then kowtowed hard.

But he didn't say anything, and Wen Baizhi just pretended not to know.

"You said not to let Rong Heng come over to see you, but the wound on your forehead needs to be treated immediately. I'm going to find Ping An to get some medicine for the wound now."

Si Jiu took out a small jar from his sleeve: "Here is the medicine."

Wen Baizhi took the jar and opened the lid. It smelled familiar. "Is this the same jar of medicine I gave you before?"

Si Jiu's original intention was just that he didn't want her to go out and wanted her to stay with him for a while longer, so he took out the medicine.

But she was always smart, so it was easy to see.

"The medicine you gave me before was very useful to me, so I have been keeping it with me."

Wen Baizhi saw that the amount of paste in the jar had not decreased much: "Then I will apply the medicine to you now."

Si Jiu propped up his upper body slightly and moved his head closer to her.

Wen Baizhi moved quickly and healed the wound on her forehead in just a few strokes.

After wiping, Si Jiu fell back onto the couch exhausted.

Wen Baizhi said worriedly: "I think the injury on your knee also needs to be treated, otherwise you will definitely not be able to walk tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is the beginning of the autumn hunt, and there are many things you need to do."

Si Jiu knew the consequences of tomorrow, but at the moment he no longer had the energy to do such a tedious task as applying the medicine.

So he still shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a nap."

Wen Baizhi was a little angry: "See if you can still sleep like this? Not only you, I will definitely be worried and unable to sleep."

After hearing this, Si Jiu struggled to get up: "Then I won't sleep here tonight."

Wen Baizhi folded her arms and looked at him: "If you don't sleep here, where are you going to sleep? In the carriage? It's so cold outside. If you sleep in the carriage for another night, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Si Jiu sat up straight with his arms shaking: "I'm fine."

Wen Baizhi had heard him say that he was fine countless times before, but it sounded particularly harsh and angry at this moment.

"Si Jiu, I know that to you I am just a stranger who was married to you by the Emperor, and we have never had any interactions before, so it is normal that you don't trust me and don't want to expose your wounds in front of me. That's why I just said I would find Rong Heng and Ping An for you," she took a breath, "but you said no, and then I said I would treat your wounds and you refused again. Even now, you know it is not good for your health, but you still want to sleep in the carriage."

Wen Baizhi dropped her hands to her sides: "Perhaps you still can't let down your guard against me, I can understand, but as a friend you don't know well, I still hope that you can treat your wound in time. If you feel that you are not used to me being here, then I will leave. I will just spend the night with Cuizhi."

Whether it was Wen Bai three years ago or Wen Baizhi now, she asked herself honestly, she had never cared so much about any man.

After being rejected by him again and again, no matter how passionate she is, she will get tired.

She pretended to leave, her expression cold and resolute.

Si Jiu didn't expect her to have such a big reaction.

He just wasn't ready to show her all those ugly wounds.

He was afraid to see even the slightest bit of disgust in her eyes.

If that were the case, he would want to die on the spot.

But he didn't expect that Wen Baizhi was angry and wanted to leave.

He stood up hurriedly and clung to her arm desperately, just like every time he tried to keep her.

"No, don't go."

Wen Baizhi felt that the hand covering her arm was shaking violently.

When I turned around, I found that he had already sat up straight on the edge of the bed.
