Xie Yuxiu watched her movements and felt relieved for a short time. He raised his hand slightly, and all the palace servants retreated.

Wang Yi and Qing Yu's hearts finally settled down, fortunately it was a false alarm.

Under Xie Yuxiu's gaze, Yu Jinzhi drank the soup in the bowl in small sips. This was also her first time eating in the past two days, so she shouldn't eat too much.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xie Yuxiu asked immediately after putting the empty bowl aside.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head, but even if she was upset, she probably wouldn't want to say it out loud. Xie Yuxiu stared at her for a long time before looking away.

"I'll have someone take you to see the person you want to see later, but you have to promise me not to do anything stupid again." Xie Yuxiu looked at Yu Jinzhi and instructed.

Yu Jinzhi nodded. She just wanted to see Yu Sheng for the last time. If she couldn't see him, she would not feel at ease.

Xie Yuxiu was a man of his word, so he sent someone to bring Yu Jinzhi over soon. The coffin was not transported out, but stayed in the palace, but Xie Yuxiu still had someone set up a simple mourning hall.

As soon as Yu Jinzhi walked to the door, she saw the whole yard in mourning, and the servants of the Yu family were also there.

"Princess..." Qingyu looked at Yu Jinzhi, who was almost unable to stand, with a face full of worry.

Yu Jinzhi didn't let Qingyu support her. She looked at the mourning hall from the door and walked forward slowly after a long time.

"Princess?" The servants here obviously did not expect Yu Jinzhi to come at this time, so they were not prepared at all.

When Yu Jinzhi walked to the inner hall, her eyes never left the coffin. Tears always come without warning, she walked slowly, no one would stop her.

The coffin was half-closed, and the person inside was covered by a white cloth. Yu Jinzhi felt that she was about to suffocate. She didn't dare to uncover the white cloth, and her hands holding the coffin tightened.

"Princess, the general... you'd better not look at him." The housekeeper of the general's mansion came over with a sad face and reminded.

How could his face look good after being in the water for so long and wasting so much time?

"The general certainly doesn't want the princess to see him in this state. Princess, please let him go." The housekeeper continued to persuade.

Yu Jinzhi was almost crying. She looked at the person lying inside and really didn't have the courage to reach out her hand.

Yu Jinzhi saw the hand of the man in front of her, which was abnormally white and swollen. However, the scar on his wrist was still obvious. Yu Jinzhi still remembered this scar.

This scar was not left by Yu Sheng on the battlefield, but when she was a child, she was naughty and insisted on climbing up a tree. As a result, she accidentally fell down, and when Yu Sheng came to catch her, the back of her hand was scratched by a broken branch, and it has never healed since then.

When she saw the scar, Yu Jinzhi couldn't hold it in any longer. The little bit of luck in her heart disappeared without a trace at this moment.

She collapsed instantly. If it weren't for Qingyu and the housekeeper, she would have fallen to the ground.

"The princess must be well. Only when the princess is well can the general feel at ease." The butler advised.

The truth is clear, but how can it be so easy to really do it? How could Yu Jinzhi not know what her father expected of her? But she just couldn't control her emotions.

Yu Jinzhi knelt down in front of the tablet. Although she didn't cry out loud, her emotion infected the people around her and made them feel sad too.

Xie Yuxiu came with Yu Jinzhi when she first came over, but he stayed outside the whole time and didn't come in to disturb her.

When he heard that Yu Jinzhi had been kneeling inside and refused to come out, he didn't say anything. This was human nature, and he could give Yu Jinzhi some time.

"Your Majesty, General Yu's spirit tablet has been left there for quite some time. It is not a good idea to keep it like this. He must be buried in peace as soon as possible." Wang Yi said from the side.

As a deceased person, I want my body to return to my homeland. It is best to bury it as soon as possible. I can't have no peace even after death, right? However, Xie Yuxiu didn't seem to have this intention at all.

"Too many coincidences are no longer necessarily coincidences." Xie Yuxiu said something that seemed nonsensical.

Wang Yi was puzzled, but he still had to say what he had to say.

"Your Majesty, the people we sent have been searching along the river for several days. If there really was a miracle, it would be impossible that there is no news until now." Wang Yi replied.

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything.

Is the person really dead? Facts have proven that he is indeed dead. After all, everything matches up, and all the evidence proves that the person is Yu Sheng.

but……

Xie Yuxiu couldn't help but think of his previous life. In his previous life, Yu Sheng also went to the border. Not only that, in his previous life, Yu Sheng also had the same death news. At that time, everyone thought Yu Sheng was dead, but a month later, Yu Sheng suddenly appeared again.

Xie Yuxiu didn't know if coming back to live again would change the original trajectory. But... he actually didn't believe that Yu Sheng would just disappear like this.

Because compared to their previous lives, they had even taken precautions in this life. Logically speaking, Yu Sheng shouldn't have gotten into trouble, so he had been dragging his feet and not making the news of Yu Sheng's death public, just waiting for other news to come back.

But as Wang Yi said, if there was any other news, it should have been reported long ago. But now more than half a month has passed, and there is no news at all.

and so……

Coming back to life, could it really change the original trajectory? If so, would Yu Jinzhi's ending change? In her previous life, she gave up hope of living after learning that Yu Yusheng was dead, just like she did two days ago, standing on the city wall.

Although he saved the person, who can predict the final outcome? It was precisely because of fear that he was so nervous to trap the person by his side. Because he was afraid that if he was not careful, Yu Jinzhi would return to the old path of the previous life.

"Give her some time." After a long time, Xie Yuxiu finally spoke.

Wang Yi knew that his Majesty meant that he didn't want to be disturbed.

"The burial will be tomorrow, and no tombstone will be erected for the time being." Xie Yuxiu said immediately afterwards.

"Yes." Wang Yi was really relieved when he heard this. Finally, they compromised, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, it is winter. If the weather is warmer, this person would stink after staying here for so long.

Xie Yuxiu did not stay outside for too long. After arranging these things, he went straight back to Zichen Palace.

And Yu Jinzhi...she remained kneeling in front of the spirit tablet, and refused to leave no matter how the people below tried to persuade her.
