In the next few days, Yu Jinzhi was very well behaved every day. She listened carefully to the imperial physician's instructions, ate on time, took medicine on time, and occasionally went for a walk outside.

Xie Yuxiu had also come over these few days. He had never seen Yu Jinzhi obey the doctor's advice so well. But this time, he couldn't feel happy at all. Because he knew that Yu Jinzhi was like this because she wanted to get well soon and leave him.

Three days passed in a flash, and Xie Yuxiu did not go to Jiayu Palace until very late on the third day. In fact, during these three days, he had always hoped that Yu Jinzhi would regret it, and as long as she said she wanted to stay in the palace, he would agree.

But it was obvious that Yu Jinzhi only wanted to leave and never thought about how to stay.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jiayu is here." Wang Yi came in to report.

In the past, once the morning court session was over, he would definitely go to Jiayu Palace first. But today, after the morning court session was over, he went straight back to Zichen Palace.

When he heard Wang Yi say that Yu Jinzhi was coming, he didn't feel happy at all. If it were in the past, even if he didn't say it, he would definitely be very happy in his heart.

She rarely takes the initiative to look for me, but this time... she really wants to leave.

"Let her in." Xie Yuxiu said.

Wang Yi respectfully invited the person in, and when Yu Jinzhi saw Xie Yuxiu, he also bowed politely.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." She looked much better than she had in the past two days.

"Yeah." Xie Yuxiu said nothing. The longer he could delay, the better.

"Your Majesty, you promised me before. You said you would send me home today. My body is well now and I can go back." Yu Jinzhi said very directly without any intention of beating around the bush.

When Xie Yuxiu heard her say these words, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart, as if it was being cut by a knife.

"Have you thought it through? Do you really have to go back? The palace is not as scary as you think. And... it may be safer in the palace than in the general's mansion." Xie Yuxiu is still trying to save the situation.

But Yu Jinzhi had already made up her mind to leave, so how could she regret it now? Who didn't know that this was the result she had dreamed of a long time ago?

"Your Majesty should keep his word. Your words are golden. Now that you have agreed, you cannot go back on your word." Yu Jinzhi was afraid that he would go back on his word.

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything, and the whole palace fell into silence. After a long time, he spoke softly: "I'll have someone prepare a carriage to take you back immediately. Also, I'll arrange a group of secret guards to guard the general's mansion to protect your safety. Don't worry, it's not surveillance."

Yu Jinzhi did not refuse, because she knew it was useless to refuse. And since he had already said that he was not monitoring her, it must be just to protect her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Jinzhi bowed.

Seeing her being so distant from him, Xie Yuxiu felt as if a needle was stabbing his heart. When Yu Jinzhi left, he stood at the city gate and watched her carriage go away.

"Princess, is His Majesty really willing to let you go back?" Qingyu still couldn't believe it.

Yu Jinzhi: "Hmm," but she didn't seem as happy as imagined.

All the ease in front of Xie Yuxiu has now vanished. It's not because she is reluctant to let go. After all, no matter who has experienced what she has experienced, they can't feel relaxed now, right?

but……

Yu Jinzhi opened the car curtain, and as she looked at the scenery outside, she felt a little relieved. The best result was that she had finally left this place that had been suffocating her.

Upstairs

Xie Yuxiu watched her carriage slowly go away, and the complicated emotions in his eyes turned into forbearance and heartache at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the princess has gone far away." Wang Yi reminded.

"Tell those who follow her to be more vigilant and not let anyone take advantage of them. If anything happens to her, they must tell me immediately." Xie Yuxiu ordered.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The people we have chosen this time are all skilled. Moreover, who would dare to attack the county lord under your Majesty's nose?" Wang Yi comforted.

"Did Liang Qing also follow?" Xie Yuxiu suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, yes," Wang Yi replied.

"But it has not let down your Majesty's previous painstaking efforts." Wang Yi said from the side.

Liang Qing was Xie Zhao's man, and he also tried to take Yu Jinzhi away. Given Xie Yuxiu's temper, how could he let him go so easily? Even if Yu Jinzhi begged for mercy, the people he wanted to kill would not be able to escape.

But that time, Liang Qing survived and even stayed with Yu Jinzhi. Yu Jinzhi never doubted this because he didn't know that everything was done intentionally by Xie Yuxiu.

At the beginning, Xie Yuxiu actually took a fancy to Liang Qing's good skills. She was not confident about the people she arranged, so she should be more assured about Xie Zhao's people.

That's why he tacitly agreed to Liang Qing staying with Yu Jinzhi, and deliberately gave Yu Jinzhi the opportunity to rescue the person from his hands. This can be regarded as a way to win people's hearts.

and also……

Yu Jinzhi might not believe what others said about what Xie Zhao did. But what if Liang Qing admitted it? She always needed someone to corroborate these facts...

Fortunately, Liang Qing has lived up to Xie Yuxiu's expectations.

General House

Yu Jinzhi's carriage stopped at the door. When she got off the carriage, she felt as if she was in another world.

Next to the "Princess" were the guards arranged by Xie Yuxiu to escort her, and behind him was a masked man in black.

Yu Jinzhi had seen it before. It should be the shadow guard beside Xie Yuxiu. Only the shadow guard closest to him would be dressed like this.

really……

"This is the shadow guard beside His Majesty. Princess, just call him Ying San. Ying San is very skilled in martial arts. From now on, he will lead the other secret guards to protect the princess' safety. Princess, don't worry, Ying San can't speak, so he will definitely not disturb you." The guard explained.

Can't speak? She didn't know that.

"Thank you for your help. You can go back first." Yu Jinzhi said.

"I'll take my leave." After the guard gave instructions for everything, he led his men back.

Yu Jinzhi glanced at Ying San, who knelt down and saluted her. Since he couldn't speak, he could only do this.

"No need to bow to me, I don't care about these rules. Come in with me." Yu Jinzhi said.

The rest of the secret guards were in the dark, and he was the only one who followed her openly. Xie Yuxiu's meaning was very clear. Was she going to let this Ying San protect her closely in the future?
