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

When Yu Jinzhi heard this, she seemed to have lost all her fear.

"Every time you kill someone, my hairpin will go deeper into your flesh." Yu Jinzhi also kept looking directly into Xie Yuxiu's eyes.

The veins on Xie Yuxiu's wrists bulged. He had just said that he would not be threatened by anything, but now it seemed as if he had been slapped in the face.

"Your Highness..." Yu Jinzhi looked at Xie Zhao again.

"Zhizhi, can you please put your things down first?" Xie Zhao said again.

"I want to see my father. Can you ask them to bring him in? " Yu Jinzhi now only wanted to see her father for the last time.

But Xie Zhao did not agree.

"Zhizhi, don't make things difficult for me. You used to be the most sensible person. Put your things down and I will take you out, okay?" Xie Zhao said.

Yu Jinzhi's expression darkened: "Why don't you want someone to bring Daddy in? Your Highness, did you really want to use me as a bargaining chip for a moment just now?"

"Zhizhi, what are you talking about? Don't think too much." Xie Zhao frowned.

"I'm not thinking nonsense. You've always wanted to take me out. Do you think that as long as I'm by your side, Xie Yuxiu will always have reservations?" Yu Jinzhi asked again.

Xie Zhao shook his head: "Why do you think so? Zhizhi, don't you believe me either?"

"I just can't find any other reason, Your Highness. It's not that I know nothing." Yu Jinzhi said again.

She had already realized something since she asked him the last time about the rights he wanted and what he would choose between the Yu family and herself.

"Your Highness is also using me, right?" Yu Jinzhi now only wants an answer.

Xie Zhao was unwilling to admit it: "I just want to take you away, Zhizhi, have you forgotten everything? Have you forgotten what we were like before? We were so good before..."

"Your Highness was a very good person before, but what he wanted has changed, so he has changed too, hasn't he?" Yu Jinzhi asked him.

This time, Xie Zhao did not refute or answer.

"I was young before and didn't know anything. Because I grew up in the palace and was taught by the Empress herself, I treated you and the Empress as my family members."

"I trust you because I think you won't hurt me, so no matter what you say, I won't think too deeply about it. But... sometimes I really can't help but think too much."

"At first I thought the Queen wanted me to be your Highness's Crown Princess because she liked me. But later I realized that there is no such thing as good things for no reason in this world. You are just after the military power in Daddy's hands."

"But even so, I am not alienated from you, because apart from these rights, I have already regarded you as my real family."

"More than a decade of companionship, more than a decade of teaching, more than a decade of love, these are not fake. At least in these ten years, I am really happy, and I have really learned a lot and felt a lot of care."

"So even if I know that this situation is caused by interests, I don't reject it. But... I just realized that something seems to be different now, because these interests are far above everything else, including those feelings..." When Yu Jinzhi said these words, she didn't let the tears in her eyes fall.

The tears kept rolling in Yu Jinzhi's eyes, making her look more like a fragile doll that could be broken at any moment.

"Among you, I have never been the one who must be chosen, nor have I ever been chosen firmly. The reason you chose me is only because I still have value." This was the first time Yu Jinzhi said this in front of them.

Xie Zhao opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he still said nothing.

Xie Yuxiu didn't even say a word, just kept watching Yu Jinzhi's actions.

"I used to think I was important, and that I was different in your hearts. But now I realize that I am really just a joke. I was too self-righteous. In your eyes, I am not a necessity. I am just a trump card that can play the greatest value at the right time." Yu Jinzhi dissected everything.

Yu Jinzhi said this as she backed away.

"I suddenly wondered if it was a mistake for me to come into this world from the very beginning." Yu Jinzhi began to doubt herself.

"I thought I had everything, but everything I had was like clouds in the sky, looking desirable and out of reach. But in fact, these clouds can dissipate at any time and disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye."

"If my father didn't have those military powers, you and the Queen wouldn't have chosen me, I wouldn't have entered the palace, and I wouldn't have met Xie Yuxiu on that rainy day."

"Just because my last name is Yu, so many problems have arisen, but these are not something I can decide..."

"Since I was born, everything seems to be controlled by you. From the moment I was born, my future path seems to have been planned by you."

"All my choices are among the paths you provided. I seem to be free, but in fact, you have always been in control of everything." Yu Jinzhi couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. She just felt that she had lived a ridiculous life.

Yu Jinzhi kept retreating towards the tower, not daring to loosen her grip on the hairpin. The scratched neck was still bleeding, but she, who was so afraid of pain, could ignore it, as if she didn't feel anything at all.

She raised her eyes and looked at the city wall again. This time she didn't hesitate and ran up directly.

Xie Yuxiu's heart was in his throat, but he didn't dare to rush over, because the hairpin in Yu Jinzhi's hand could pierce her throat at any time.

Soon, Yu Jinzhi came to the tower again. She looked down and felt a palpitation and trance, as if the scene in her previous dream overlapped. (Pointing the Way, Chapter 105)

"Don't come over." Yu Jinzhi's back was leaning against the city wall, as if she could fall over at any time.

Xie Yuxiu's eyes finally showed some nervousness.

"Yu Jinzhi, do you remember what you promised me last time you were here?" Xie Yuxiu spoke. (Zhi Lu Chapter 55)

The wind on the tower was strong, ruffling Yu Jinzhi's hair. She laughed at this question: "You promised me, but you didn't do it, didn't you?"

"Anyone who abandons his life like this is the most cowardly and useless person." Xie Yuxiu added.

"No one would be willing to give up his or her life at will, unless... living has no value anymore." Yu Jinzhi replied.

What ends is never life, but the pain and helplessness that one no longer wants to endure...
