After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After dawn, Si Jiu had a high fever again.

Wen Baizhi discovered this only when she was sweating from the heat from the person in her arms.

She turned over and saw that Si Jiu's face was flushed with fever, and felt that she couldn't let him sleep like this any longer.

He has a high fever and is sweating a lot, so he needs to drink more water.

She called out to Si Jiu: "Zi Jin, wake up."

Si Jiu was called by her. He was already suffering from illness and did not sleep very deeply. He woke up after a while.

After waking up, Si Jiu felt all the pain that he had ignored while sleeping suddenly flooded upon him.

It was like a tide that he could not resist.

He frowned and endured the pain.

Wen Baizhi was about to help him sit up: "Zijin, your fever is too high. You need to drink more water. I will ask Ping'an to bring the medicine later, so I woke you up rashly now."

She actually explained to him the reason for waking him up.

Si Jiu blinked and reached out to hold her hand.

Wen Baizhi understood what he meant, so she supported his shoulders and helped him sit up again.

She tucked the quilt in for him: "Wait for me here, I'll get you some water and medicine."

Si Jiu just looked at her gently and had no opinion on anything she did.

Wen Baizhi moved quickly and brought all the necessary medicine and water in a short while.

She poured a glass of water for Si Jiu first: "I added some salt in it. Although you can't taste it, I still want to tell you about it."

She explained: "You have lost too much body fluid. You need to drink some salt water to replenish it, otherwise you will feel worse later."

Si Jiu held her hand and slowly drank the salt water.

After drinking half of the water, Wen Baizhi brought the medicine again.

"Normally, I should give you something to eat before you take the medicine, but I know you have a fever and your stomach will probably feel worse if you eat. It's better to take the medicine first and cure your illness first."

She fed the medicine to Si Jiu spoonful by spoonful, just like she did yesterday.

Si Jiu has always been so docile, silently accepting all the food given by Wen Baizhi.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Wen Baizhi patted his head with satisfaction and produced candied fruit like a magic trick.

She carefully wrapped the candied fruit in a handkerchief.

"Although you may have stomachaches if you eat because you have a fever, children who take medicine obediently should be rewarded. This is the candied fruit you are given as a reward."

Her eyes were bright when she spoke, and Si Jiu always looked into her eyes unconsciously.

It was as if there was a gentle river there that always made him sink into it unconsciously.

Si Jiu ate the candied fruit she fed to his mouth. It was the same as the last time he ate it. Although he couldn't taste it, he knew it was very sweet.

He also said: "It's sweet."

Wen Baizhi naturally knew that he was just coaxing her, but she was still very satisfied with it.

It is gratifying that one person's sincere efforts will be taken seriously by another person.

After Wen Baizhi had tidied everything, she sat back in front of Si Jiu.

She raised her hand and touched his forehead: "It's still hot."

Not knowing if the wound had become inflamed, she planned to check the wound's recovery again.

She said, "Can I see your wound?"

Si Jiu naturally agreed.

He knew yesterday that she was the one who treated his wounds, and even helped him put on his clothes.

Although he was still a little shy, he was enjoying it in his heart.

After getting his consent, Wen Baizhi moved closer to him, carefully unbuttoned his shirt, and then pulled it aside.

He didn't stop until the location of his wound was exposed.

There was no sign of bleeding from the wound, so it seemed like it was slowly recovering.

Wen Baizhi put his clothes back on: "The wound looks okay, at least there is no sign of bleeding on the gauze outside, but you still have a fever, I don't know why, let's wait for Rong Heng to come and ask him."

Si Jiu's eyebrows were indifferent: "I tend to have fever easily. I often have fever even when I'm not injured. It's okay."

He told the truth.

Ever since he was castrated three years ago, his physical condition has been much worse than before.

Coupled with Qi Yan'an's intentional or unintentional harassment and torture on him, his health became worse and worse.

Not only the stomach and legs, but even a normal breeze would easily cause fever at night.

Wen Baizhi naturally knew how difficult it had been for him over the past few years, and for the first time she felt regret for coming back too late.

Maybe if I had come back earlier and been by his side sooner, he wouldn't have been alone all the time, enduring all the pain by himself.

"Your physical condition is too poor. After we return to Kyoto, you can follow me and exercise every day. You should not be as perfunctory about diet as before. I will research some more dishes that you can eat. Combined with simple exercises, I believe your health will get better and better."

A good body leads to a good future.

To be with her longer.

Wen Baizhi didn't dare to say these words to Si Jiu now.

She knew Si Jiu's psychological problems, and all she wanted to do was take it slow and explain things to him when he could accept it a little more.

Si Jiu rarely hears words about the future.

But now Wen Baizhi is making a promise with him.

He believed it.

Speaking of Si Jiu's injury, Wen Baizhi was a little puzzled: "When I pulled out the arrow for you yesterday, I found that the arrowhead was coincidentally not tilted downwards, nor did it go deep inside. You don't know, if it wasn't for this arrowhead, you would really be in danger."

Si Jiu naturally knew the reason.

But he didn't know whether he should tell Wen Baizhi.

Unexpectedly, Wen Baizhi was almost figuring out the truth after thinking about it herself.

"I've been wondering since you came back yesterday. We all know His Majesty's character. He is so cautious that he wouldn't really put himself in danger. Besides, even if he was in danger, why would you go to save him? Are all the others dead?"

"It is very strange that the Chidu Kingdom sent an envoy this time, and they chose to come during our autumn hunting. This autumn hunting would not have been held if you hadn't insisted on it -"

Wen Baizhi suddenly stopped talking.

She looked at Si Jiu in disbelief and saw that he was like a child who had made a mistake, with his eyes flickering.

The doubts in my heart slowly pointed to an impossible truth.

"It was you who advocated war with the Chidu Kingdom at that time, and you also strongly advocated autumn hunting. For this, His Majesty even punished you with a beating."

"Now it's Chidu Country, the autumn hunt, and His Majesty is being assassinated. And it's you who advocates war and comes to the rescue."

The more she spoke, the colder she felt.

"So, His Majesty has always been the one who advocated war, but it was inconvenient for him to be the target, so he passed this hot potato to you. Now the envoys from the Red Du Country must have been manipulated by His Majesty and you to make them dare to assassinate in front of His Majesty."

"His Majesty is fine, but you are in trouble. His Majesty didn't even send you a royal doctor yesterday. He clearly wants you to die. He must be thinking that if you die, then his future affairs will become extra smooth, including openly declaring war on the Chidu Kingdom."

She has always been so smart and good at observing and analyzing current situations.

She actually described Si Jiu and Qi Yan'an's plan in detail.
