The moment he entered the yard, the palace servants at the door were also startled, including Qingyu.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The palace servants saluted in unison.

Xie Yuxiu ignored them and went straight into the house. Yu Jinzhi also heard the noise inside. Her eyes trembled slightly, but she had no intention of getting up or looking up.

As soon as Xie Yuxiu came in, he saw Yu Jinzhi sitting on the bed. She was just a small ball, sitting alone in the corner, with a thin figure, as if she could be completely killed at any time.

The anger he had when he came here suddenly dissipated at this moment, and with it came an obvious pain in his heart.

Yu Jinzhi didn't look up. She hugged her knees and rested her face on them, hugging herself like that.

Xie Yuxiu slowly approached her, and when he saw Yu Jinzhi's face clearly, his heart tightened. After not seeing her for just two days, Yu Jinzhi had lost a lot of weight, and her face had become sunken, and there was no light in her eyes.

He sat down next to Yu Jinzhi without saying anything. Yu Jinzhi's eyes gradually shifted to him. More precisely, to his hanging arm.

Xie Yuxiu also noticed Yu Jinzhi's gaze: "How dare you look at me like that? If it weren't for you, would I be like this now?"

Wang Yi: “…” Your Majesty, you don’t have to say anything.

"I've never been so embarrassed. You've made me like this, and you don't want to care about me anymore. You're not eating or drinking. What do you want?" Xie Yuxiu started questioning as soon as he arrived.

Yu Jinzhi said nothing.

Xie Yuxiu felt furious when he saw her like this, so he started to threaten her without any restraint.

"If you continue like this, believe it or not, I will lock you in the dark room again to reflect on yourself?" Xie Yuxiu said viciously.

Wang Yi: “!!!” You may be scared, but if you really do that, you will be really finished.

Sure enough, when Yu Jinzhi heard these words, her calm eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation.

It seems that threats are still effective. Xie Yuxiu felt disdainful. He thought Yu Jinzhi was so powerful, but it seemed that she was still afraid.

only……

Why does he feel a little sad?

"Why don't you want to eat? Are you really going to starve yourself to death? Are you on a hunger strike? You won't be satisfied until your life is gone, right?" Xie Yuxiu started cursing.

Yu Jinzhi did not refute.

Xie Yuxiu glanced at Wang Yi, and Wang Yi understood and quickly asked someone to bring food over.

Yu Jinzhi still maintained her original posture. Xie Yuxiu looked at her and said, "If you still refuse to eat, I will force you to eat it. You don't want to be so undignified, do you?"

Decent? What decentness does she have?

Wang Yi brought new food, pigeon soup stewed in the small kitchen, which looked very appetizing.

"Eat it." Xie Yuxiu gave the order directly.

But Yu Jinzhi didn't react at all, and didn't even change her movements.

Xie Yuxiu: "..." Was I just ignored like that? Didn't she listen to a word I just said?

"I let you eat." Xie Yuxiu's tone became a little more serious.

Unfortunately, his words now have no deterrent effect at all. Seeing this, Xie Yuxiu's face suddenly turned cold.

"If you don't want to eat, then move to the dark room. You can come out whenever you want to eat." Xie Yuxiu said.

Yu Jinzhi's fingertips moved, and seeing that she was still unwilling to eat, Xie Yuxiu hardened his heart and immediately shouted, "Someone come!"

The palace servants outside hurried in, and Yu Jinzhi's calm eyes finally began to show other emotions...panic.

"Take the man to the dark room." Xie Yuxiu shouted.

Wang Yi and Qing Yu were both frightened and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The princess can't bear that kind of torture anymore!" Qingyu begged.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the princess is just feeling uncomfortable for the moment. You should talk to her properly. She cannot go to that dark room." Wang Yi said.

But Xie Yuxiu didn't have the chance to change his mind. He shouted at the palace maids: "What are you standing there for? Doesn't she take herself lightly? Isn't it the same everywhere? Take her away!"

As she spoke, the palace maid was about to step forward. Ever since the last time she went there, Yu Jinzhi had an inexplicable fear of that kind of environment.

The moment the palace servants touched her, Yu Jinzhi began to resist. She wanted to break free from their actions, but how could she have the strength after not eating for almost two days? She almost fell.

Fortunately, Xie Yuxiu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and even though he only had one hand left, he still caught the person steadily.

Seeing this, the palace maids retreated to the sides. Xie Yuxiu looked at Yu Jinzhi in front of him. Of course, he could not miss the panic in Yu Jinzhi's eyes.

She was afraid after all...but she was so scared, why didn't she just say something softly and beg for mercy?

Yu Jinzhi looked into Xie Yuxiu's eyes, and in that instant, she couldn't help herself. Tears gradually formed in her eyes, and Xie Yuxiu's hard heart softened.

"Do you have to be so stubborn?" Xie Yuxiu sighed.

The mist in Yu Jinzhi's eyes could not be hidden, and tears fell all of a sudden. Xie Yuxiu had no choice but to hug her in his arms.

"I just wanted to provoke you to talk. If you are afraid, why don't you say a soft word to me?" Xie Yuxiu asked her.

Yu Jinzhi's shoulders had begun to tremble, but she was still trying to suppress her tears and refused to cry out loud.

"If you refuse to eat every day, how many days can your body last?" Xie Yuxiu's tone finally softened.

He held her tightly in his arms, and after sensing her emotions, he reached out and gently patted her back: "Eat something. After you eat, I'll let you go meet the person you've always wanted to meet."

Yu Jinzhi finally reacted when she heard this. She slowly raised her head from Xie Yuxiu's arms, her red eyes seemed to be telling something, and it was very distressing to see.

"Didn't you want to see him before? I had someone bring him back yesterday. But... it's been too long, and I can't recognize his original appearance anymore. Besides, he looks scary, so you have to be mentally prepared." Xie Yuxiu said.

Yu Jinzhi opened her mouth, as if she was telling the truth. But she hadn't spoken for two days, and now she suddenly wanted to speak, but she found that her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't say anything.

"Eat first. If you don't, you won't be able to see anything." Xie Yuxiu said as he personally brought the bowl of soup over.

Yu Jinzhi looked at the soup in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it.
