After everyone had left, Xie Yuxiu slowly entered the inner courtyard without disturbing anyone inside. Even if someone saw him, he would not let anyone make a sound.

Yu Jinzhi was sitting by the window. She always liked sitting in this position and looking up at the scenery outside the window.

Xie Yuxiu walked to the window, moving very gently, without disturbing anyone. Yu Jinzhi, you didn't notice that there was another person outside. She just sat there quietly, in a daze.

"Princess, it's late and cold. Let me help you get some rest." Qingyu has come to remind her many times.

Yu Jinzhi still shook her head: "I can't sleep. Sunny or rainy, why are there no stars today?" She looked at the sky, there was no light at all.

After hearing this, Xie Yuxiu looked up at the sky unconsciously. There were indeed no stars tonight. Perhaps it was because the clouds were too thick.

"Princess, do you want to look at the stars?" Qingyu talked to her for a while.

"They all say that longing will turn into stars in the sky. I wonder how many people are missing the person they care about who has never returned tonight." Yu Jinzhi replied.

"I have heard before that the foggy mountain top outside the city is the closest place to the sky, and the starry sky there is the most beautiful. Can I accompany the princess to watch the stars there in the future?" Qingyu said.

"Outside the city? I can't even get out of Jiayu Palace, so why should I go outside the city?" Yu Jinzhi said with some self-mockery.

Xie Yuxiu outside said nothing, just quietly listened to the words coming out of Yu Jinzhi's mouth.

"What about the city wall? The Zhaixing Tower next to the city wall is specially for observing the stars and appreciating the moon. The princess can also go there to observe the stars." Qingyu said.

Yu Jinzhi sighed deeply and said nothing more.

Qingyu was worried: "Princess, the general will be fine. He still cares about you and will definitely come back to see you."

"I hope so..." Yu Jinzhi didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt that the sky tonight was not understanding at all. She had waited for so long but couldn't see a single star.

Yu Jinzhi was helped back to the bed by Qingyu. Xie Yuxiu stood alone outside the window, looking up at the sky. Are there no stars?

About a quarter of an hour later, Qingyu had just helped Yu Jinzhi wash off her makeup and Yu Jinzhi was about to take a rest when she saw the flashing lights outside through the window not far away.

She felt doubtful and walked towards the window again, but this time when she reached the window, she was dazzled.

She saw that there were so many sky lanterns outside, and she couldn't tell when they appeared. She couldn't count how many there were. She just watched the sky lanterns slowly rise up, and they looked like stars that carried her longing.

"Who lit so many sky lanterns in this palace?" Qingyu also sighed.

Yu Jinzhi's heart was slightly moved. Who in the palace would dare to release sky lanterns in such a grand manner? For some reason, she leaned out of the window, but when she looked to the side, there was no one outside.

The sky lanterns are like stars, I don’t know how to thank you…

"Take a rest." Yu Jinzhi turned and said to Qingyu.

"Yes" Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

I have seen the stars, so I should feel at ease...

Xie Yuxiu was sitting on the roof, looking at the sky lanterns rising slowly, with all kinds of emotions in his heart.

He was holding a lamp in his hand, but this lamp seemed a little different, because it had a prayer ribbon hanging on it, and there were a few words written on the bag: A glance in my life, and forever.

The moment he let go, the sky lantern gradually rose. He looked up at the "stars" that were getting farther and farther away from him, and in his heart he also hoped that this vision could be seen by God.

Most of the lights in Yu Jinzhi's room were turned off, but because she was afraid of the dark, she always kept a small light on in her room.

Xie Yuxiu stayed on the roof for half an hour before he dared to go down. He still went to the window first, but now the window was closed.

He knew that Yu Jinzhi was a light sleeper, so he didn't dare to act rashly. In the end, he chose to enter through the main entrance.

Through the bed curtain, Xie Yuxiu could clearly see the figure inside. She should be asleep.

Xie Yuxiu slowly walked to the bedside and felt her even breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was really asleep.

He opened the bed curtain and sat down next to Yu Jinzhi. She always felt insecure when she slept, so she liked to curl herself up and hold something in her arms, so this sleeping position was not very proper.

The moment Xie Yuxiu saw her, he couldn't help himself and reached out and touched her face.

"I cried again." Xie Yuxiu's voice was very soft, but it seemed to reveal some helplessness.

When he reached out his hand and touched her, he felt the tears on her face. Yu Jinzhi was just that kind of person, always like to hide and feel uncomfortable alone.

"When will you be willing to open your heart to me? What exactly do you need me to do before you believe that I have no ill will towards you? Yu Jinzhi, haven't I done enough?" Xie Yuxiu's eyes were filled with waves.

He really didn't understand why she just didn't want to look at him any more. Was there anything that made him inferior to Xie Zhao? Could it be that he lost to him just because she was with Xie Zhao every day when they were children?

Xie Yuxiu had been sitting here for a long time, and perhaps because of the familiarity or some other magical power, Yu Jinzhi automatically found his arm after Xie Yuxiu came, and then unconsciously hugged his hand.

Xie Yuxiu did not retract his hand immediately. He held Yu Jinzhi's hand, which was still so cold.

"What should I do with you? Yu Jinzhi, you really know how to test me." Xie Yuxiu said.

In his previous life, Yu Jinzhi jumped into a building and he could not bear it a second time. But should he continue to be in a stalemate? He could not force her, but if he did not force her, how could he keep her?

He didn't want the tragedy to happen again, but some tragedies seemed to repeat themselves over and over again. Xie Yuxiu couldn't afford the gamble, but he couldn't give it up either.

If he forces her, he will be reluctant and afraid.

If he lets her go, he won't be able to do it and will regret it.

He is clearly already in the highest position, possessing all the power and authority, but why are there still so many things he cannot control?

The reason why he wanted to sit in this position in the first place was because if everything could be solved with power, he could also keep Yu Jinzhi by his side forever.

In his previous life, Xie Yuxiu believed in this, so he ended up with that outcome.
