After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After that, they waited until late at night and found that Si Jiu and the others still showed no signs of coming back.

Now we can basically infer that Chidu was deliberately detaining them.

But Wen Baizhi really couldn't figure out why they did this.

She is a straightforward person and has never been good at worrying about these things.

Those are things that a thoughtful person like Si Jiu would consider.

But Si Jiu is not here now.

She can only rely on herself.

I just don’t know if the 15th has already set off.

He was a loner and would never tell her where he came or went.

But Wen Baizhi knew that Fifteen was a reliable person.

The person Shang Yao likes must have his outstanding qualities.

Just as she had guessed, Fifteen had already changed into his most familiar night suit when they had not returned in the late night, and just like before, he went to Chidu's palace with ease.

The reason why Si Jiu and the others were not sent out in time was because Chi Du was not satisfied with what Dacheng brought.

Their request was for Dacheng to bring another hundred good horses and several pounds of food.

But how could Si Jiu agree?

Chidu is the only beneficiary of the marriage between Chidu and Dacheng. The benefits brought by Dacheng are enough for Chidu to survive the next cold winter. There is no reason for them to ask for more.

So the people on Chidu's side used various methods to stop Si Jiu and Shang Yao from leaving the palace.

Although they did not inflict any substantial harm on them, they were restricted and were not allowed to go out, let alone have the opportunity to seek help.

As for the secret guards on both sides, the reason why they had no way to go out to deliver the letter was simply because the Chidu Palace was heavily guarded, making it easy to get in but difficult to get out.

They can go out with Si Jiu and the others, but they can't go out by themselves.

The two sides have been in a stalemate. Chidu may have completely fallen out with Dacheng because the king had already left. He didn't care that the princess was present and directly trapped them here.

Such an extremely chaotic kingdom would actually become the place where Shang Yao would stay for a long time.

When Fifteen arrived at the palace in secret, he saw Dacheng's group, led by Si Jiu and Shang Yao, all sitting in their seats at the banquet.

But there were many people guarding outside the palace, probably because they were afraid that they would run away.

Fifteen's eyesight and hearing are very good. Even though it is dark at night, he can see that Si Jiu and the others are actually doing fine.

Including Shang Yao, the person he was most worried about, she looked as noble and reserved as before.

There was no sign of panic at all.

Although he didn't know why they were trapped here, at least he knew they were safe, and he could go back and tell Wen Baizhi.

But the other secret guards couldn't escape from the palace, so how could he do it alone?

Fifteen tried various ways to leave the palace, but failed.

In the end, in order to protect himself and accumulate strength, he chose the same concealment method as he did in every previous mission.

But there was no way to go out and tell Wen Baizhi the news.

I believe that with her personality, she should be able to sit still and not act rashly.

As Fifteen thought, when he did not come back to reply all night, Wen Baizhi had already guessed that he was probably unable to leave the palace either.

If Si Jiu is the only one who doesn't return, you might have to take a risk.

But now that the princess is also in there, Chidu will be more cautious.

Wen Baizhi never knew that marrying into a foreign country and establishing a marriage relationship between the two countries actually involved so many difficulties.

Now she only hopes that Si Jiu can have an easier life in the palace, and she will also try her best to protect herself outside.

After all, Si Jiu must be safe now, but if she loses her composure outside and something happens again, Si Jiu will suffer a greater blow even if she comes out safely later.

So she had to work hard to protect herself, and even more so, protect the rest of the people who followed them to Chidu.

But she didn't expect that this wait would last for three days.

For three consecutive days, there was no news from the palace, and even Fifteen did not show up again.

But Wen Baizhi was not idle either. She promptly sent Ping'an to secretly prepare a batch of supplies for her to take to Yunzhou.

Among them are medicinal herbs that Si Jiu will need in the future, as well as the medicine that Rong Heng said could effectively defend against the miasma in Yunzhou when taken.

Moreover, this place was very close to the battlefield where she died as Wen Bai. She also sent someone to forge the name of a philanthropist in the private sector, and in the name of a private organization, she sent a batch of urgently needed supplies such as food and fodder to the soldiers still guarding the border.

Only by keeping herself busy could Wen Baizhi stop thinking about Si Jiu.

She knew that Si Jiu must be trying hard to come out to see her as soon as possible, so she couldn't hold him back.

She needs to make good use of this time so that after Si Jiu comes out, she can do the next thing without any worries.

Even Ping An admires her style of doing things.

There was more admiration in the way he looked at her.

It was as if she shouldn't just be the lady of the Governor's Mansion, but should be a woman who was free outside and could do whatever she wanted.

Three days later, Si Jiu, Shang Yao and their group were finally released.

When Shang Yao was sent back to the post station, she looked fine. The clothes she wore were different from before, and it was obvious that she had already washed and changed her clothes in the palace.

But Si Jiu was still wearing the same clothes.

Wen Baizhi had taken care of every detail of the clothes for him.

Si Jiu's body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, and the temperature here in Chidu is also relatively low, so he didn't sweat much.

There was no smell of sweat on his body, but there was a faint smell that appeared every time he accidentally let out fluids.

When he got off the bicycle, he fell to his knees helplessly, his legs seemed to have lost the ability to stand and walk. But someone still helped him up safely, and worked with others to bring him back to the room.

Wen Baizhi couldn't easily appear in front of outsiders, so she just waited in the room.

When Si Jiu was brought in, she noticed at a glance that he was in a clearly different condition.

Although his hair was neat, there were obvious dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had not had a good night's sleep in the past few days.

Both of his lips were so dry and cracked that they were peeling, like someone who had been walking in the desert for many days without a sip of water, and his whole body exuded a dry smell.

This was just the surface that Wen Baizhi saw after a quick look.

Si Jiu's actual physical condition was several times more serious than what she saw with her naked eyes.

"Thank you for sending me back to my room. I'll stop here. You can go down and rest first." Si Jiu said to Ping An and the others.

Ping An and the other man bowed to Si Jiu and Wen Baizhi and then left.

As soon as they left the room, Si Jiu couldn't help but fall forward.

Wen Baizhi was quick to catch his body as he was about to fall to the ground.

When she hugged him, Wen Baizhi felt like she was hugging a hot stone.

He has a fever, and it's quite high.

Ping An, who was outside the door, hadn't walked far when he heard Wen Baizhi calling him from inside the room.

"Ping An, go and get Doctor Rong over here."

"Okay." Ping An changed from walking to running and hurried to find Rong Heng.

Wen Baizhi in the room dragged Si Jiu, who was still conscious, and took him to lie on the bed.

He didn't change his clothes and his face looked so bad, it was hard for Wen Baizhi not to wonder how he had been treated in the past three days.

She was just about to reach out to help him take off his clothes, but her hand was just about to touch the clothes underneath him when Si Jiu, who was still conscious, raised his hand to stop her.

"Baibai, don't touch it, it's dirty." He whispered.

Wen Baizhi had smelled the scent on him, so she naturally knew where it came from.

She even knew what Si Jiu meant by dirty.

But she is not someone who cares about these things.

She stubbornly tried to pry his hands away: "Zijin, Rong Heng will come to see you later, let's at least take off the dirty clothes and change them first, so that you will be more comfortable later, right?"

She saw that Si Jiu still refused to let go. Although she could push his hand away without much effort given Si Jiu's current weak state, she still hoped to follow his advice and do something that would satisfy him.

So she leaned over and placed a kiss on Si Jiu's dry and chapped lips.

Si Jiu was so shocked that he had the strength to open his eyes and look at her.

"Bai, Baibai..." He was a little incoherent and could only call her name, which was the name that made him feel most at ease.

Wen Baizhi said with a little force: "Zijin, I know your flaws are obstacles that you can never overcome. I respect you and I love and understand you even more, so you have to understand me too. I can't just watch my lover trapped in a circle of inferiority. I can't do nothing for him. I have to do something for my lover from my perspective. At least I hope my lover knows that no matter what he looks like, I love him, including his flaws. I like him all the same."

"Bai Bai." Si Jiu's eyes were still wide open, so tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes like little snowballs.

Wen Baizhi couldn't free her hands to wipe his tears, so she used her tongue to wipe them away.

"No, Bai Bai, I haven't washed properly for three days. My face is dirty, and everything is dirty. It's really dirty."

He repeated it again, as if to let her know.

"I don't care, Zijin. I have already crawled out of the dead. If you don't say anything about me, what right do I have to say anything about you?"

Finally, Si Jiu moved the hand that was blocking Wen Baizhi away and instead tightly grabbed the bed sheet under him.

He actually still had some self-respect. If it was anyone other than Wen Baizhi, even if he was too sick to get out of bed, he would not let others help him change his wet clothes.

But Wen Baizhi was his only exception and indulgence.

She successfully took off her clothes. It should be because during the three days she disappeared, Si Jiu did not have time to deal with herself in time, so her clothes were exposed.

But when Wen Baizhi took off his clothes and touched his lower abdomen, Si Jiu's already pale face suddenly became even paler.

It was like he had a wound there.

"Zi Jin?"

Wen Baizhi was very familiar with the way he endured the pain.

During these days, Wen Baizhi has also learned some basic medical skills.

At least we can infer where Si Jiu is in pain.

She first pressed the spot where her stomach had been, and then touched it with her tentacles, but found no signs of cramping.

But he clearly felt that the pain intensified when his lower abdomen was touched.

so it is……

"Zijin, you haven't been drinking enough water these days, right? You may have kidney stones again."

This is almost the highest level of pain Si Jiu has ever experienced.

Just at this moment, it can be seen that he can't bear the pain at all.

Originally, Si Jiu was still aware that he had to hold back the pain when he was outside, but now in front of Wen Baizhi, all the pain came out from the corners of his body like a fine mist.

Si Jiu was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweats. The cramps in his abdomen made him unconsciously press his hands tightly on his lower abdomen. He didn't know what to do with his legs, as it seemed like any movement was painful.

The pain this time was different from the previous ones. He hadn't had a good rest in the past three days, and now his waist and thighs were aching badly.

He couldn't help but moan, but all that came out were tiny cries.

Just when Wen Baizhi was at a loss, Rong Heng arrived.

"Rong Heng, please come and see him. He may have a kidney stone recurring. He hasn't had much water or rest in the past three days since we last saw him, so the pain is much worse now than before."

Rong Heng quickly stretched his body to make it easier for him to diagnose and treat him.

But Si Jiu curled up in pain, and when he was pulled away by an external force, he instinctively jumped up from the bed with discomfort.

He only moved away from the bed for a moment before falling back again.

Wen Baizhi sat down next to his head and touched his hair and cheek soothingly.

"Zijin, Rong Heng is here, let him take a look at you, that's all."

When Si Jiu felt pain before, it didn't reach the base of his thigh. Rong Heng reached out and touched it a few times, and found that the pain had indeed changed and became more severe.

"There are small stones in my body again, and they are much more serious than before. I need to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Wen Baizhi only asked: "What should we do now? Should we give him an acupuncture injection like before and let him stand up?"

Rong Heng just shook his head with a serious expression: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy this time. The stone is deeper this time than before, so you can see that it hurts to his thigh. I'm afraid that simple acupuncture won't be able to force the stone out easily."

After all, Wen Baizhi doesn't know any medical skills, so at this time she can only place her hopes on Rong Heng.

"We have to find a way to help him. Are we just going to watch him suffer like this?"

Rong Heng frowned and said, "Don't worry, there must be a way. I'll think about it again."

At this moment, Si Jiu, who had been in pain, leaned on the edge of the bed and vomited with difficulty.

This is the most common manifestation of stone pain, pain and vomiting.

He vomited more and more and shook more, and finally his whole body curled up into a ball.

But the head still remembered to find Wen Baizhi's position and get as close to her as possible.
