It is snowing heavily outside again today. I don’t know why, but this winter is especially cold, and even the snow is much heavier than usual.

Yu Jinzhi also did not leave. She was crying at first, but she could not cry anymore. There was no emotion in her eyes. She just knelt quietly in front of the tablet.

It has been almost three hours since she arrived, and it is already late at night.

When Xie Yuxiu came over, he saw Yu Jinzhi kneeling on the ground in the empty room. She was clearly unable to kneel any longer, but she still adjusted her posture and refused to get up.

The people around "Your Majesty" began to salute when they saw Xie Yuxiu coming.

Xie Yuxiu passed them by, walked straight to Yu Jinzhi and squatted down.

"They said you have been kneeling here for a long time. What did you promise me before you came here? Do you remember?" Xie Yuxiu asked her.

Yu Jinzhi didn't react at all, just looked at the spirit tablet.

"It's time to get up. It's getting late." Xie Yuxiu reminded again.

Yu Jinzhi's throat was already broken. Her lifeless eyes slowly turned towards Xie Yuxiu. After trying for a long time, she managed to utter a few words: "I want to spend more time with him..."

Xie Yuxiu was in a complicated mood. He reached out and put his arm around Yu Jinzhi's shoulders: "Does he really feel at ease with you like this in front of him?"

As soon as Xie Yuxiu said this, Yu Jinzhi indeed lowered her head.

"Get up." Xie Yuxiu tried to pick her up, but his brows furrowed as soon as he touched her hands.

Yu Jinzhi's hands were as cold as the ice outside. Looking at her pale face, Xie Yuxiu touched her forehead again.

"Why do you have a high fever again?" Xie Yuxiu's tone became serious. His hands were so cold, but his forehead was burning.

Xie Yuxiu was so emotional that he wanted to hug her, but Yu Jinzhi was reluctant: "I want to stay..."

"Why are you still trying to stay? Isn't the time I've given you today enough? Look at what you've become. If you keep guarding him like this, your father won't even die with his eyes closed." Xie Yuxiu also got angry.

Yu Jinzhi was forcibly pulled up from the ground by him. Because she had been kneeling for too long, she couldn't even stand steadily. If it weren't for Xie Yuxiu, she would have really fallen here today.

Xie Yuxiu didn't care about anything else. Seeing her like this, he even ignored the injury on his arm. He simply carried her horizontally. Even if Yu Jinzhi wanted to resist, she couldn't react in her current physical condition.

"Call the imperial physician!" Xie Yuxiu shouted angrily to the outside.

Yu Jinzhi was carried back to Jiayu Palace by Xie Yuxiu. There was a warm charcoal fire burning in the room. Xie Yuxiu put her down steadily on the bed.

The imperial physician came almost at the same time, and went to see the patient without even bothering to be polite. Yu Jinzhi was extremely weak, so Xie Yuxiu let her lean on his arms the whole time and did not dare to let go.

When the imperial physician felt the pulse, his expression became more and more serious. The cold air entered the body and was stagnant in the heart, but Yu Jinzhi herself didn't care about it. She didn't eat or drink for the past two days. How could her body be healthy?

Xie Yuxiu asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine. Yu Jinzhi was now unconscious and in a daze.

"Your body will be ruined sooner or later. No matter what you want to do, if you don't even want your body, can you succeed in what you want to do?" Xie Yuxiu's tone of voice had a feeling of disappointment.

Yu Jinzhi was so dizzy that she couldn't hear clearly what Xie Yuxiu said. Xie Yuxiu wanted to curse a few more times, but when he saw the dying woman in his arms, he swallowed back all the words he was about to say.

Thinking about how Yu Jinzhi had just kneeled on the cold floor for so long, Xie Yuxiu lifted up her trouser legs and saw that her knees were indeed bruised.

He brought the ointment and gently rubbed it on her. Yu Jinzhi seemed to be in great pain, unable to open her eyes, but she was struggling all the time.

After the imperial physician prescribed the medicine, Xie Yuxiu immediately asked someone to boil it. Fortunately, the medicine was still able to be fed into the patient, otherwise Xie Yuxiu would have killed someone again.

"Go get some hot water." Xie Yuxiu's frown had never relaxed.

After the hot water came, he also helped Yu Jinzhi wipe it himself. Yu Jinzhi cried too much in the past few days, and her eyes were really swollen like walnuts.

Yu Jinzhi only slept for a while. Xie Yuxiu looked at the dazed Yu Jinzhi and asked in a rare soft tone: "Headache?"

Yu Jinzhi nodded.

"Who told you to be naughty?" Xie Yuxiu complained.

But looking at Yu Jinzhi's gloomy expression, he didn't have the heart to say anything more excessive.

Yu Jinzhi looked around and saw a blazing charcoal fire next to her: "It's cold..." she said.

"Do you still feel cold now?" Xie Yuxiu frowned.

"Yeah." Yu Jinzhi nodded.

Xie Yuxiu had no choice but to tuck in the quilt for Yu Jinzhi and then had someone add more charcoal to the fire. Later, Xie Yuxiu felt that the room was like a furnace and he even began to sweat.

"I want to be alone for a while." Yu Jinzhi's hoarse voice makes people feel distressed, so even the requests he makes make people reluctant to refuse.

Xie Yuxiu hesitated for a while, but finally did not refute her meaning: "Then you can stay alone for a while. There will be someone guarding the door. If you need anything, just shout outside." He said.

In order to avoid any accidents, he would definitely not remove the people at the door, and they would come in to take a look every once in a while.

Moreover, the dangerous things in the house had been taken away long ago, so nothing bad would happen if she stayed inside. Thinking of this, Xie Yuxiu agreed to her request.

After Xie Yuxiu left, Yu Jinzhi took a long time to relax before she reluctantly sat up from the bed.

She looked at the charcoal fire in the room and used all her strength to stand up. She walked to the window and the people at the window saw her.

"It's a bit cold, let's close the window first." Yu Jinzhi's lips turned pale.

"Yes," the palace maid replied, and then closed the window.

Yu Jinzhi looked at the room and saw that the doors and windows were closed, then walked back to the red-hot charcoal fire.

The room was so hot that she started to sweat. Slowly, she began to feel dizzy. Perhaps she felt that it was about time, so she lay down on the bed again...

She didn't know whether this method would work, but she remembered her father telling her when she was a child that the doors and windows should not be kept closed when burning charcoal.

In a trance, Yu Jinzhi seemed to see again the scene when she fell from a tree as a child and her father caught her steadily.

Daddy...
