The Queen Mother jumped from the tower, and His Majesty was reborn with fear

Xie Zhao was silent, but Yu Jinzhi seemed to have understood what he meant.

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. As expected, people in this world always seemed unwilling to give up their rights.

"Zhizhi..." Xie Zhao wanted to explain.

But Yu Jinzhi interrupted what he was about to say: "Your Highness, is that the most important thing in your heart?"

"Only if I sit in that position can I protect you, Zhizhi. This world is always unfair. If you have nothing, you will always have to passively bear everything." Xie Zhao replied.

Yu Jinzhi looked at Xie Zhao in front of her and felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Your Highness, do you still remember what the Queen said to you before she left?" Yu Jinzhi suddenly asked again.

Xie Zhao was stunned.

The late queen chose to commit suicide in order to protect Xie Zhao. She took all the blame on herself. Otherwise, how could Xie Zhao be alive today?

"The Queen Mother used her own life to save your Highness's. She once told you that staying alive is the most important thing at all times. You must learn to endure, learn to search, but not waste energy; if they are really a strong force, then you should retreat to comfort yourself." Yu Jinzhi continued.

You must endure the momentary anger, find the opportunity to go a thousand miles away, know how to preserve your strength, plan secretly without wasting your own energy, and be the emperor's friend. If there is really no chance of turning things around, then withdraw from the dispute and live a leisurely and happy life. No matter what time it is, being alive is the most important thing.

When Xie Zhao heard this, he smiled bitterly. It was more like a bitter smile than a sarcastic one.

"Why?" he asked suddenly.

When Yu Jinzhi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, because she had never thought of hearing such words from Xie Zhao.

"If it weren't for Xie Yuxiu, how could I have ended up like this? If it weren't for Xie Yuxiu, I would still be a beloved prince, or even an emperor with thousands of people paying tribute to me. Why should I give up? Everything he enjoys now should clearly belong to me."

"I just want to take back what originally belonged to me. What's the problem with that? He was the one who framed me first. Otherwise, how could I be imprisoned by my father? How could I lose my mother?"

"He took control of the court in just a few days and gained the trust of the emperor. But within a few months, the emperor passed away and he became the new emperor. Zhizhi, don't you have any doubts? Everything was arranged by him! How can I be willing to accept this?!" Xie Zhao's emotions gradually became agitated.

He took two steps forward and put his arm around Yu Jinzhi's shoulders: "And if it weren't for him, we would have been married a long time ago. You would be my Crown Princess, or even my Queen, but what about now? What did Xie Yuxiu do?"

"Even if he hates me and is afraid of me, what have you done wrong? Why did he treat you like this? Zhizhi, don't you understand now? Xie Yuxiu clearly had a plan in mind. And you fell into his trap because of the Yu family." Xie Zhao became more and more agitated.

Yu Jinzhi wanted to break free from his restraints, but Xie Zhao was too strong.

"You are the Crown Princess appointed by my father, and you are backed by the Yu family, which holds military power. If he wants to overthrow me completely, it will cut off all my escape routes, and the Yu family is one of them. Therefore, he will force you into the palace."

"The Yu family has a large army and is loved by the people. He cannot seize power directly, so he wants to use you to control him. Zhizhi, you have been with her for so long, you should understand him."

"Have you forgotten what he has done to you? You should have been the most noble woman in the entire capital, but because of Xie Yuxiu, your reputation was damaged and you were criticized. You were also humiliated and bullied in the harem. He has treated you like this, do you still want to speak for him?" Xie Zhao's eyes were red and he was extremely emotional.

Of course Yu Jinzhi knew this, and it was because she knew this that she pulled herself out of this situation.

but……

She knew it, but if she really wanted to do something, she had to measure it based on her own strength. She knew very well that she had no power, but what about Xie Yuxiu? Everything seemed to be under his control.

What could she do in such a situation? Would she overestimate her own abilities and then bring about her own destruction? It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but it was just that dying in vain was not worth it.

"Your Highness, if one day the Yu family and I become stumbling blocks to the power you want, will you choose the Yu family and me, or the power you want?" Yu Jinzhi didn't know why she asked such a stupid question.

But at that moment, she suddenly wanted to know the answer to this question. He has changed, so will his choice change?

Xie Zhao also fell silent when he heard this question.

"Why do you ask such a question? Does Zhizhi also want to stand with Xie Yuxiu?" Xie Zhao looked as if he was very hurt.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "The Yu family will not take sides, I just want to know. If one day you are asked to choose between me, the Yu family and that position, will you give up on us?" After all, power is too tempting.

"There will never be such a day." Xie Zhao answered her.

Yu Jinzhi looked gloomy, but she didn't ask any more questions. Because this kind of question really didn't make any sense, and she was probably just being crazy.

"We can't stay here for long. I'll go and talk to His Majesty." Yu Jinzhi pushed away Xie Zhao's hand on her shoulder.

Seeing Yu Jinzhi was about to turn around and leave, Xie Zhao couldn't help but say, "General Yu is missing. Do you know about this?"

Yu Jinzhi paused, and her body instantly became stiff. What does it mean to be missing? She almost suspected that she was hallucinating.

"What did you say?" Yu Jinzhi looked at Xie Zhao with obvious panic in her eyes.

"I didn't want to tell you, but I was afraid that Xie Yuxiu would make a fuss about this. Now looking at your expression, you probably don't know yet. After General Yu arrived at the border, he encountered an assassin the next day, and he chased after him and disappeared." Xie Zhao told Yu Jinzhi about Yu Sheng's disappearance.

Yu Jinzhi's breathing became visibly panicked, because she knew nothing about the matter and hadn't heard any news at all.

Moreover, when she mentioned her father to Xie Yuxiu a few days ago, there was no abnormality on his face, and he even said that he could write to her later. So when she suddenly heard such news, she could not help but feel panicked.
