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

The General's Mansion had not changed much, it was still the same as before, because all the decorations in the mansion were what Yu Jinzhi liked.

Even if she wasn't in the general's mansion, they would remain the same, waiting for their princess to come home. The only thing that changed was perhaps... the atmosphere was different, right?

Today, the general's mansion is filled with mourning clothes, and the servants also wear mourning clothes around their waists. The joy of the past is long gone.

Yu Jinzhi looked at the arrangements in the general's mansion, but she didn't cry like she did before.

"Let's take all these things away." Yu Jinzhi said softly.

The housekeeper was puzzled: "Princess?"

"Okay, it makes me sad to see all these. Let's take them all away, the New Year is just a few days away." Yu Jinzhi forced a smile.

When the butler heard this, he didn't know what was going on, but since it was the master's order, they certainly couldn't disobey.

But this is also good. It is indeed easy to be sad when looking at these things. It is better to get rid of them.

"I won't see anyone these days. If there are any visiting cards, please reject them all." Yu Jinzhi said again.

The news that she was going back to the General's Mansion today would surely spread throughout the capital soon, and who knows who would come to join in the fun. She really didn't have the energy to deal with those people right now.

"Yes," Butler Yu replied.

Yu Jinzhi looked at the plaque of this military mansion with mixed feelings. The word "general" was too heavy and was the easiest to cause disputes.

Yu Jinzhi was supported by Qingyu and was about to enter the mansion. The maids, old women, and servants were all waiting for her in the yard.

Yu Jinzhi didn't care about these at first, but she saw two familiar faces in a flash.

These two people... Yu Jinzhi always had a good memory, especially for things that should be remembered deeply. She was sure that the two people standing in front of her were the two people that Xie Yuxiu had killed before.

But why is he standing in front of me now?

"You guys..." Yu Jinzhi stopped in front of the two of them.

"Greetings, Princess." The two men bowed.

"Didn't you already..." Yu Jinzhi was really shocked. It was impossible for her to remember it wrongly.

"Reporting to the princess, these two people were sent back by His Majesty." Butler Yu took the initiative to step forward to explain.

How is this possible? Xie Yuxiu sent them back? Didn't he kill them in front of him?

"Your Majesty did not really want their lives. He just wanted to use this method to make the princess afraid. Yesterday morning, Your Majesty let them come back." Butler Yu said.

Is this really the case? Xie Yuxiu didn't want to kill them? He was not like this before, so how could he have mercy now?

"Since everything is fine, that's a good thing." Yu Jinzhi didn't say much. Anyway, the thing has passed, and it seems meaningless to say more now.

Qingyu accompanied Yu Jinzhi back to her boudoir before she entered the palace. It was still the same here, even the gardenia tree at the door was the same as before, because the people in the mansion would trim it on time.

Royal Palace

Xie Yuxiu has been staying in the Qinzheng Hall since Yu Jinzhi left. The official business on the desk has decreased, but... a lot more ministers have suffered.

Today, he called a minister into the palace after reading a memorial, and then scolded him for more than half an hour. He scolded the ministers so much that they were sweating profusely. In this winter, the sweat soaked their clothes.

"Your Majesty, the people who escorted the princess back to the general's mansion have returned." Wang Yi stepped forward to report.

"Are the people left behind?" Xie Yuxiu said in a cold voice.

"Ying San has been successfully retained, and the princess did not refuse." Wang Yi replied.

That's fine, although it doesn't matter whether she refuses or not.

at night

Yu Jinzhi had just finished washing up. She was wearing a plain dress and walked to the door alone. Qingyu put on the cloak she had brought, after all, the snow outside had not melted yet.

"Why are you standing here, Princess?" Qingyu asked.

"I just can't sleep." Yu Jinzhi replied.

She used to be in the palace, but now she was suddenly back in the general's mansion, so she really couldn't sleep.

Yu Jinzhi originally just wanted to stand here for a while, but ended up seeing Ying San who had been standing under a tree in the yard, and Liang Qing on the other side.

Still standing here so late? And it's so cold outside, he won't stand here forever, right?

"Come here with the two of them." Yu Jinzhi ordered.

Qingyu nodded, then stepped forward and called Yingsan and Liang Qing over.

"Princess..." Liang Qing lowered his head.

Ying San also bowed, but he didn't say anything. The guard had said before he left that he couldn't speak.

"It's so late, why are you still guarding here? Go back and rest. There will be people on duty in the yard. It's not a good idea for you to stay here all the time." Yu Jinzhi said.

When Liang Qing heard this, he spoke first: "Please pay more attention to me, my lord. I am used to doing this kind of thing."

Yu Jinzhi looked at Ying San again. Ying San said nothing, just bowed, but did not show any intention of leaving.

Yu Jinzhi: "..." So what I said was in vain?

"It's impossible for you to guard the whole night. So, since there are two of you, why don't you take turns?" Yu Jinzhi said again.

Liang Qing and Ying San both remained silent.

"What? Don't you listen to me? If you don't listen to me, there is no need for you to stay with me." Yu Jinzhi said again.

Liang Qing: "..."

"Yes, then I'll take your turn to guard first." Liang Qing said.

"You guys can handle it yourselves." Yu Jinzhi said.

Liang Qing looked at Ying San, but Ying San remained unmoved.

"You two..." Qingyu also felt embarrassed.

Seeing this, Ying San took the initiative to step forward, and Liang Qing was blocked behind him. The meaning was very clear.

Liang Qing: "..."

Yu Jinzhi suddenly felt a headache. What was going on?

"Okay, Yingsan stays, and Liang Qing goes down to rest first." Yu Jinzhi gave the order directly.

"...Yes" Liang Qing didn't say anything else.

After Liang Qing left, Ying San still stood there. Yu Jinzhi looked him up and down: "Do you have to dress like this?"

It's a bit scary late at night. He's wearing all black, a cloak, and a mask under the cloak. It's really scary to look at him.

Yingsan nodded.

"Then why can't we speak? Are we not allowed to speak or can we not speak?" Yu Jinzhi was also a little curious about this question.

It's impossible to be a shadow guard and then poison yourself to make your voice hoarse, right?

Ying San didn't answer.

but……

Yeah, how do people answer?

"Forget it, forget that you can't speak." Yu Jinzhi was helpless and stopped asking.
