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

Yu Jinzhi took two steps back and looked at the person in front of her: "Do you think you can escape from the palace whenever you want? Your Highness, I have already reminded you, why don't you wait?"

Xie Zhao said in a slightly cold tone: "I've been waiting for too long, Zhizhi, be good and follow me." His tone clearly left no room for negotiation.

Yu Jinzhi refused: "I won't go with you. If you can leave the palace, you should do it as soon as possible, and you shouldn't take me with you." After saying this, Yu Jinzhi prepared to return to Jiayu Palace.

Today's incident was obviously a trap. It was too unrealistic that they didn't meet anyone along the way.

But just when Yu Jinzhi was about to leave, Xie Zhao said again: "General Yu's body is outside the city."

Yu Jinzhi's body was instantly frozen in place. For a moment, she doubted her ears and wondered if she had heard it wrongly.

"When General Yu was fished out of the river, his entire body was swollen from blisters. If it weren't for the clothes and token he was wearing, he might not have been recognizable," Xie Zhao continued.

Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to turn around, so Xie Zhao walked up to her.

"The reason why I didn't want to tell you this at the beginning was that I was afraid that you would be too emotional. Zhizhi, have you ever doubted why I had the confidence to do such a thing today?" Xie Zhao continued to ask.

Yu Jinzhi looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Because General Yu's death is inseparable from Xie Yuxiu." When Xie Zhao said this, Yu Jinzhi obviously didn't believe it.

but……

"I know you may not believe it, but this is the truth. If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die. General Yu knew his fate the day he left the capital."

"The reason why he didn't resist and didn't tell you was because he was afraid that you would overestimate your own abilities and seek revenge on Xie Yuxiu. Didn't he see you before he left? Did he also tell you to stay in the palace?" Xie Zhao continued to ask.

"Because he knows that he will never come back, and he also knows that there is a huge gap between you and Xie Yuxiu. So he would rather you never know about this, so that at least he can protect you."

"I don't care whether you believe what I say or not, but you should trust the people around General Yu. General Yu is honest and loyal. In order to protect you, he was unwilling to fall out with Xie Yuxiu, so he ended up like this."

"But the deputy general Sun beside him really couldn't bear to see his general fall into such a situation. That's why he found me after the incident and brought his soldiers to join me, hoping that I could help General Yu get revenge." Xie Zhao said as he took out the token.

Yu Jinzhi could naturally recognize him. Lieutenant General Sun had always been one of the more capable generals under Daddy's command, and he had been following Daddy since a long time ago.

"They are outside the city. They will come to pick us up after we leave the palace. Zhizhi, don't you want to meet him and let him tell you the whole truth in person?" Xie Zhao continued.

Yu Jinzhi no longer wanted to listen, or perhaps she didn't dare to listen. She probably didn't believe it, but...

"Zhizhi, I won't hurt you, believe me, okay?" Xie Zhao stretched out his hand towards her again.

Yu Jinzhi felt that her mind was in a mess and she couldn't think at all. She only remembered one sentence, that is, her father's body was outside the city.

"I'll go out with you..." Yu Jinzhi's voice was hoarse. She wanted to see the so-called corpse with her own eyes.

Xie Zhao curled the corner of his mouth slightly and pulled her towards the palace gate.

only……

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw a large crowd of people. The guards held swords and had expressionless faces, which made people feel scared.

Xie Zhao held Yu Jinzhi's hand a little tighter and blocked her behind him.

"Your Majesty has arrived--!" The moment the shout came, all the people on the opposite side knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison.

Xie Yuxiu came here in a dragon sedan chair, and it seemed that he had just finished his morning court session. There were also numerous ministers following him, but Yu Jinzhi's face did not show much emotion, perhaps because she was numb.

"I, the guilty minister Xie Zhao, refuse to kneel when I see Your Majesty!" Wang Yi shouted.

But Xie Zhao didn't take anyone seriously at all.

"Xie Yuxiu, if you don't want the capital to be in chaos, you'd better let me go now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do." Xie Zhao is still threatening others now.

Xie Yuxiu slowly got down from the dragon sedan chair. There was no fluctuation in his eyes. He just looked at Yu Jinzhi indifferently.

"Do you want to go with him?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

This is because his tone is a little different from his usual questioning. In the past, when he saw this scene, he would definitely think that Yu Jinzhi wanted to escape again, but this time, the tone of his voice was as if he was just dealing with an acquaintance.

"Xie Yuxiu, is there any news about father?" Yu Jinzhi did not answer the question directly, but asked while looking into Xie Yuxiu's eyes.

She seemed to still have a little expectation, expecting Xie Yuxiu to give her a different answer. Because if there was a different answer, she would have a little more extravagant hope.

"What did he say to you again?" Xie Yuxiu asked again.

"He...he said that my father's body is now outside the city." Yu Jinzhi answered him.

Xie Yuxiu was silent for a while.

Yu Jinzhi's heart also sank.

"Why are you silent? Tell me, tell me this is not true." Yu Jinzhi was almost unable to control her emotions.

She had been eating and resting on time during this period, and she was numb all day long, because she still had a glimmer of faith in her heart, she felt that her father should still be alive.

But now everyone tells her that her father is dead. How do you expect her to accept it?

"Come back to me." Xie Yuxiu said.

"I didn't want to run away. I just wanted to go and see if my father was like what you said. Xie Yuxiu, you didn't tell me the first time." Yu Jinzhi's voice was already filled with obvious tears.

"Nothing has been concluded yet. That's just what they said. Do you believe what they said?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

"I don't believe what they said, but I don't believe that you have hidden nothing from me. Xie Yuxiu, is my father's death due to you? Is it true?" Yu Jinzhi suddenly became agitated.

Xie Yuxiu frowned: "Do you suspect that I did it?"

"Then just tell me that all of this has nothing to do with you!" Yu Jinzhi yelled.
