Chapter 321 The Princess' Wedding Day
Chapter 321 The Princess' Wedding Day
If there was one thing Wen Baizhi regretted most before leaving Chidu, it was that she should have rinsed her mouth with water when kissing Si Jiu after drinking so much alcohol.
Instead of directly attacking Si Jiu with her tongue and mouth full of wine.
Finally, that night, she sobered up completely.
I was awakened by Si Jiu's suppressed breathing when he had stomach pain.
Wen Baizhi had already mastered this skill long ago.
That is, no matter how sleepy or unconscious she was, as long as Si Jiu was by her side and showed even the slightest sign of pain, she would immediately notice and react to it.
Just like right now.
Si Jiu was still the same as every time before. Whenever he felt uncomfortable, his first reaction was to try his best to suppress it with his own strength so as not to let Wen Baizhi hear it and worry about it.
Although he tried to hide it from Wen Baizhi every time, he failed every time.
The night ended with Si Jiu, who was forced to drink, pressing his abdomen with a pale face, leaning weakly in Wen Baizhi's arms, feeling the warmth and love in her hands.
Although it hurts, I feel at peace.
Wen Baizhi is now awake. After dawn, each of them will usher in a new life.
While rubbing Si Jiu's stomach, she said to herself: "Zi Jin, can we really leave here? Go to Yunzhou and look for the people my father left behind?"
She was actually a person who had infinite expectations for her future, but at this moment, she showed some timidity.
Si Jiu moved his body slightly so that his voice, which had become small due to weakness, could be heard by Wen Baizhi.
"I have already arranged everything. When I, as an envoy, send the princess to the palace, our carriage will also set off along with the princess' carriage. There will definitely be a lot of people on the street to see the princess, and it will be easier for us to hide when there are a lot of people."
Wen Baizhi could guess that he would arrange everything properly as he had done before.
But Si Jiu had been suffering from the pain of kidney stones for the past half month, and most of the time he couldn't eat or sleep.
In fact, she was with him almost every time.
She clearly remembered that she rarely saw him discussing things with others.
So when did he accomplish all these things?
"Are we going alone?" she asked.
Si Jiu: "Of course not. If you were still the Wen Bai before, or if I wasn't encumbered by my weak body now, I might be able to let you go alone without worrying about it. I wouldn't even feel like a burden if I followed you. But Bai Bai, you and I are no longer the same people we were before. Maybe you can take care of yourself, but I... I am a burden after all... I need at least someone like Rong Heng and the secret guards in my mansion to follow me."
Si Jiu was very worried about his physical condition.
What he was worried about was not his own health, but that he felt that his behavior would affect Wen Baizhi.
Unexpectedly, Wen Baizhi embraced him very gently after hearing this: "You and I think the same thing. You know, I am just a weak little woman now. I can't ride a horse or wield a sword like before. I can't protect myself, let alone you. So you really need some people around you, and you have to protect me as well."
She said it without any pressure, as if it was the most ordinary thing.
But Si Jiu knew that she was using her own method to make him feel less guilty and sad.
His heart was warm: "Okay, don't worry, I have already issued a death order to the secret guards who followed me. Even if we are in danger at the same time, they will only save you first."
This was the first time Si Jiu said these words to Wen Baizhi.
Before, when they were in Baoen Temple and were being assassinated, Wen Baizhi vaguely realized that her status in the Governor's Mansion was not low.
But she didn't expect that she would be a level higher than Si Jiu.
"Zijin, you don't have to do this. Although I am not as powerful as before, I still have the ability to protect myself. If I really encounter danger, I will find a way to escape. But you are different. After all, you are weaker. I hope we will never encounter danger, but I don't agree with your idea of letting the secret guards protect me first."
Si Jiu raised his head and pecked her chin: "Bai Bai, you don't understand. If I have to watch you get hurt or disappear in front of me again, I would rather be the one who gets hurt."
Every word he said came from the bottom of his heart.
No one will not be moved when seeing that they are so cherished and put first.
Wen Baizhi was also very moved.
She felt as if she were getting tipsy again.
"Zijin, if it wasn't inconvenient for you right now, I would definitely not let you go."
After hearing this, Si Jiu subconsciously turned over and faced her with his back.
And just as he turned over, his white and smooth back was facing Wen Baizhi.
But on such a white back, there are a few scattered red spots.
It looks more like wintersweets blooming in the snow, in clusters and little by little.
Very beautiful.
Wen Baizhi then moved closer and pressed her front body against Si Jiu's back.
At the same time, she put her arms around his waist and placed them on his still aching stomach.
"Go to sleep, Zijin. When you wake up, tomorrow will be a new day."
When Wen Baizhi woke up the next day, the first thing she did was to hold her head.
The effects of alcohol on people extend beyond the moment you drink it.
More often than not, in the early morning after sobering up, I would feel a dull pain in my head as if it were hit by a stone.
When she woke up, she saw that Si Jiu had gotten up and disappeared at some point.
However, the clothes and shoes she was going to wear, even the water and towel for washing were neatly placed in the room.
Generally speaking, when she was with Si Jiu, Cuizhi would not come into their room on her own initiative unless she went out to call Cuizhi.
So it is very likely that these things were prepared by Si Jiu.
I don’t know how long he had been awake, and how he could do all these things so smoothly when she didn’t know anything.
Wen Baizhi got out of bed wearing her shoes, changed her clothes and washed her face.
The clothes I wore today were quite different from before.
The clothes she wore before coming here were all from Dacheng.
But the clothes she wore this morning were clearly the most commonly worn clothing among the people in Chidu, similar to pants in modern society.
It was very convenient for her to move around, and there were no layers of skirts getting in the way.
This should be the preparation that Si Jiu made specifically for them to leave here today.
