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

Xie Yuxiu looked at Yu Jinzhi, who was already unconscious. Yu Jinzhi put her hand on his mask: "Why do you wear a mask?"

"I'm afraid of my appearance being seen." Xie Yuxiu replied.

Yu Jinzhi tried hard to stand up straight, but Xie Yuxiu was reluctant to let her go and instead pulled her hard into his arms.

"Let me go..." Although Yu Jinzhi was no longer fully awake, she still knew the differences between men and women, but she just didn't have the strength.

Xie Yuxiu did not let go.

"You are drunk. I will help you to rest, okay?" Xie Yuxiu said to Yu Jinzhi.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "No... I don't want to sleep, I want to see the stars."

"Then we'll see next time." Xie Yuxiu coaxed.

Yu Jinzhi was now drunk, and the aftereffects were still strong. Her face was getting redder and redder, and her steps were becoming increasingly unsteady.

"Every time you say next time, but when is the next time?" Yu Jinzhi pushed the person away and sat back down next to the table.

Xie Yuxiu was afraid that she would fall, so he stayed by her side the whole time.

"You can tell me if you're unhappy." Xie Yuxiu squatted in front of him and said this.

Yu Jinzhi looked at him, her eyes sparkling, but she always seemed unhappy. She had a lot on her mind.

"I'm not happy..." Yu Jinzhi suddenly said.

"I know." Xie Yuxiu squatted in front of him and answered her question.

"I'm not happy, but I have to act like I'm happy every day. I don't want them to worry, I don't want them to get depressed because of me, and I don't want to affect their mood."

"I thought that as long as I acted like everything was fine, I would really forget everything. But I simply couldn't do it. Every time, I would think of many things that had happened in the past, care about the rumors I heard, and dream about my father who said he would come back to spend the New Year with me..." The more Yu Jinzhi spoke, the more crying her voice became.

Xie Yuxiu's heart was in a knot.

"Don't pretend, it's okay." Xie Yuxiu told her.

"I just can't control myself..." When Yu Jinzhi said this, she could no longer hold back. Her voice broke due to crying and her tears flowed like pearls from a broken string.

Xie Yuxiu wanted to hug the person in his arms, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Why can't anyone comfort me... I envy them so much because there is someone to comfort them when they are sad. Crying can't solve the problem, but when we cry, we just want to be comforted." Yu Jinzhi began to wipe her tears.

After seeing this scene, Xie Yuxiu couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't want to care about anything else and just stood up and hugged the person in his arms.

"Someone needs to coax you. I'll coax you, okay?" Xie Yuxiu's voice became gentle.

"Not good..." Yu Jinzhi was completely drunk. Perhaps she herself didn't know what she was doing or saying.

And even though he said it was not okay, he actually took the initiative to reach out and hug Xie Yuxiu's waist.

"The smell on you is very familiar..." Yu Jinzhi's voice was a little low.

Xie Yuxiu patted her back gently: "Why do you feel so familiar?"

"Like Xie Yuxiu..." Yu Jinzhi said softly.

Xie Yuxiu lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms: "Do you hate him?"

"Yes, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of him, very afraid..." Yu Jinzhi replied.

Xie Yuxiu's heart ached. He stroked Yu Jinzhi's hair and said, "Aren't you very brave in front of him?"

"There is no way to completely overcome fear... I'm afraid of him, and that fear is like engraved in my bones. Even if I seem to be reckless, but... every time I see him, I will subconsciously fear him."

"I would think about how he was before, and how he tried to tame me over and over again. Before... it was so painful. I was afraid of the pain, and even more afraid of him..." Yu Jinzhi was really drunk, so she spoke without restraint and said whatever was on her mind.

Xie Yuxiu had never thought that he would leave such a heavy shadow on Yu Jinzhi. He regretted it, a regret he had never felt before.

"He won't hurt you anymore." Xie Yuxiu tried to defend himself.

"I know, but I've already been hurt... How can you ask me to forget it? I can't pretend it never happened. What should I do? I have nightmares now..." said Yu Jinzhi.

The words she said were like steel needles piercing Xie Yuxiu's heart. He really didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"You really can't forgive him? No matter what he does, you won't be willing to accept it anymore? Do you hate him so much?" Xie Yuxiu wanted to fight for himself.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head.

"I don't hate him, I'm just afraid and dislike him, which is different... I don't hate him, and I won't hate him." Yu Jinzhi replied.

There were complicated emotions in Xie Yuxiu's eyes.

"Don't you hate it?" Xie Yuxiu asked, as if he saw some hope again.

"Well, I don't hate him. I know he has no ill intentions now..." Yu Jinzhi really said everything that was in her mind.

Xie Yuxiu's eyes were red: "Then why don't you want to stay with him? Maybe being with him is the safest place right now. General Yu said the same thing before leaving the palace, didn't he?"

"Because... I don't want to listen to him in everything, and I don't want him to control me in everything. I want to do my own thing, freely and without any constraints." After being restrained for too long, I always want to go out and see the world.

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything.

"He is very overbearing and always wants me to obey him. He also wants to control everything about me. He knows everything about what I eat, what I wear, and what I do. In front of him, I have no secrets. It's like I'm naked... I don't like it." Yu Jinzhi explained.

"So I don't like it, and... when the late emperor arranged the marriage, he chose Xie Zhao." Xie Yuxiu suddenly mentioned what happened back then, and he seemed to really care about it.

Because... he once regarded Yu Jinzhi's promise to marry him as the only thing and as his belief.

That's why he became so crazy when Yu Jinzhi suddenly wanted to marry Xie Zhao. He even went to ask the late emperor for help. At that time, he was not taken seriously at all and was even bullied by everyone, but he still went there to humiliate himself.

Because he really couldn't bear to give up the person in his heart to someone else, not to mention that Yu Jinzhi had promised to marry him.

But later... Yu Jinzhi was actually willing. She actually forgot the agreement with me and instead transferred the marriage to Xie Zhao. Why?

When Yu Jinzhi heard this question, she also frowned.

"Why do you ask? Does it matter?" Yu Jinzhi looked confused.
