For two days in a row, Yu Jinzhi stayed in Jiayu Palace obediently and did not get angry at all. She also did not see Xie Yuxiu during these two days.

until……

"Princess, Su Zhaorong is here." Qingyu walked in from outside.

What's she doing here?

"Let her in." Yu Jinzhi said. She wouldn't come here for no reason. She must have heard something, or maybe it was because of something else.

When Su Zhaorong came in, Yu Jinzhi asked someone to show her a seat.

"How come Su Zhaorong has time to come to my place today?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

Although she was under house arrest, Xie Yuxiu turned a blind eye. As long as she didn't go out, nothing else would change.

"I came here this time because I want to tell the princess something very important." Su Zhaorong's face did not look very good, and she looked at the palace maids around her.

Yu Jinzhi also understood instantly and asked everyone around her to retreat, leaving only Qingyu.

"What big thing happened to make Su Zhaorong look like this?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

Su Zhaorong looked as if she had a hard time speaking.

Yu Jinzhi also saw it: "Su Zhaorong, just say whatever you want, don't worry about it."

"Please forgive me, Princess. I have been following Concubine Jia these days, and she trusts me. It is precisely because of this that I was able to get some information from her, which may be about General Yu." Su Zhaorong went straight to the point.

Sure enough, when Yu Jinzhi heard these words, she became serious and nervous.

"Today, Concubine Jia gave me a task. She wanted to use me to convey something to your ears, Princess. That's why I made a special trip here today." Su Zhaorong began to explain the reason for her trip.

Yu Jinzhi's uneasiness gradually grew stronger, and she suddenly felt that she might not have the courage to say what was next.

"At this moment, I don't know whether it is true or not, and I don't know whether I should tell the princess." Su Zhaorong didn't dare to speak directly.

But how could Yu Jinzhi not be moved by such news? Even if she was afraid and worried, she still wanted to know all the information about her father.

"Just say it directly." Yu Jinzhi might not have noticed that her voice was trembling a little.

"Yes... Princess, this matter may not be true. Perhaps Concubine Jia just wants to deliberately provoke you. So please don't think too much about it." Su Zhaorong was still giving Yu Jinzhi psychological support here.

Yu Jinzhi probably already guessed what the news would be, but she still pretended to be calm: "But what happened to my father?"

"Empress Dowager Jia said... General Yu might be... dead." Su Zhaorong didn't dare to look directly at Yu Jinzhi when she said this.

Yu Jinzhi’s heart was hanging in the air: “Isn’t he missing? What else did she say?” She didn’t dare to make a hasty judgment, because she already knew that her father was missing. What if Concubine Jia just exaggerated the fact?

"Because this matter was arranged by Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia told me that their people injured General Yu and then forced him to the river. General Yu might not want to fall into the hands of the enemy, so he jumped into the river directly."

"The river water is icy cold in winter, and because it has just rained heavily, the river is rushing. They searched along the river bank for two whole days and said that there is no possibility that General Yu could survive." Su Zhaorong continued.

Yu Jinzhi felt a darkness before her eyes. If she was still hoping for a lucky break just now, now she might be in despair?

Daddy was already injured, and he traveled day and night to the border, and then he was hacked to death and fell into a turbulent river. After this series of accidents, she didn't dare to imagine whether her father really had a chance of survival.

"Princess..." Qingyu beside her hurried to support Yu Jinzhi.

Yu Jinzhi's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She couldn't believe that all this was true.

"Princess, the truth of this matter is still unknown. Concubine Jia asked me to come and tell you this, perhaps just because she wanted to see the expression you have now. Before things are absolutely concluded, there is still hope." Su Zhaorong also gave her warm comfort.

But...is there really still hope?

If it was really possible, Xie Yuxiu's people should have sent a message back long ago, right? She had been hiding this news from herself, not wanting to let herself know, perhaps because she also knew that this matter might have no chance of reversing.

This happened the day after arriving at the border, and there was no response until now. Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to think about it...

She didn't have the mind to think about anything else now, nor was she in the mood to pretend to be nice to Su Zhaorong, so she just let her leave.

Yu Jinzhi didn't know what kept her from fainting. Her head was buzzing and she couldn't calm down at all.

"I want to see His Majesty..." Yu Jinzhi said this after a long time.

Naturally, Qingyu didn't dare to stop it.

"I'll ask someone to invite you right away." Qingyu said and hurried out.

Yu Jinzhi was very well behaved. She didn't make any noise, but just sat there quietly. No one knew what she was thinking, and she continued like this until Xie Yuxiu arrived.

When Xie Yuxiu heard that Yu Jinzhi wanted to see him, he had an uneasy feeling in his heart. When he arrived, he was even more certain of his thoughts.

Looking at Yu Jinzhi sitting motionless, Xie Yuxiu's heart ached. He slowly approached her, and Yu Jinzhi's numb expression fell on him little by little.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yuxiu stood in front of her and asked this question in a hoarse voice after a long time.

When Yu Jinzhi heard these words, tears instantly fell like pearls.

"Your Majesty, Daddy was injured and forced to jump into a turbulent river. Is this true?" She wanted to confirm.

Perhaps Yu Jinzhi herself hadn't realized that she would actually ask Xie Yuxiu to confirm the truth of this matter. It was as if she felt in her heart that Xie Yuxiu would not deceive her.

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything, it was because of this matter...

As soon as Su Zhaorong left, she asked someone to find her and asked such a question. Needless to say, she knew who told her this. But now was not the time to pursue this.

And Yu Jinzhi had already found the answer from Xie Yuxiu's silence, so this matter was true...

Her body went limp, tears burst out, and her entire mood collapsed in an instant.
