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

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, refugees outside the city suddenly rioted.

"Princess!" Qingyu hurriedly ran in from outside, and Yu Jinzhi came out of the room.

"What's the hurry?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"A riot suddenly broke out outside the city, and His Majesty has ordered the city gates to be closed. Now there are refugees everywhere outside." Qingyu gave a brief account of the situation outside.

Why did the riot suddenly happen? Yu Jinzhi looked outside the door. There were many soldiers in the general's mansion, so they should not be able to get in.

The "Princess" is Liang Qing.

"What's wrong?" Yu Jinzhi seldom saw Liang Qing. He usually stayed alone in the dark and rarely appeared in front of her.

"Your subordinate... received news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liang Qing said after hesitating for a while.

Yu Jinzhi was stunned and forgot to react for a moment: "Whose news are you talking about?"

Isn't Xie Zhao still in custody? Why did the message come suddenly? Is Xie Yuxiu setting up a trap again? Until now, Yu Jinzhi still doesn't know that Xie Zhao has been rescued.

"In reply to the princess, His Highness had already left the city two days ago." Liang Qing replied.

"How could that be?" Yu Jinzhi was obviously surprised.

"When His Highness was still the Crown Prince, he had already placed his own people throughout the harem. The same is true in prison. Although a large number of people were replaced after His Majesty ascended the throne, everyone knows that the higher the position, the greater the suspicion. Therefore, when His Highness was secretly planting people, he deliberately avoided high-ranking officials and released many jailers instead. When he replaced that group of people again, it was inevitable that some would be missed." Liang Qing answered for Yu Jinzhi.

Xie Zhao could actually think of this?

"Your Highness doesn't know yet that the princess has learned the whole story. This letter is also sent in the hope that the princess can leave the city. If the princess is unwilling... Your Highness has ordered your subordinates to take you away by force." Liang Qing replied.

Yu Jinzhi was disheartened. His purpose in wanting to take me away at this moment was simple. He just wanted to have an extra way out.

"Then why did you tell me?" Yu Jinzhi looked at Liang Qing and asked.

"Since the day the princess saved me, I will never betray you." Liang Qing bent his body.

"So you betrayed Xie Zhao?" Yu Jinzhi found it a little ridiculous. She now wanted to be loyal to herself, but she betrayed her former master. Isn't this funny?

"I will not betray Your Highness. I just hope to protect the princess on this basis." Liang Qing said.

Yu Jinzhi didn't have the heart to listen.

"So, if I don't follow you, will you take me out of the city by force?" Yu Jinzhi asked him.

"I can't, but...your Highness's people can." Liang Qing replied.

Did Xie Zhao have someone else under his command? His ability was even greater than Yu Jinzhi had imagined. It seemed that Xie Zhao had always been reserved in front of her.

"Then it depends on his ability." Yu Jinzhi was not afraid. What is coming will come, and it will not stop happening just because she is afraid.

Yu Jinzhi entered the house, Liang Qing watched from the door, not daring to go forward. He was now in a dilemma, on the one hand he could not betray Xie Zhao and become his enemy, on the other hand he wanted to protect Yu Jinzhi and prevent her from getting hurt.

but……

Liang Qing looked around and saw Shadow Three in the dark. Although Xie Zhao arranged other people, it might not be successful, because there were indeed quite a few people around Xie Yuxiu.

late at night

Yu Jinzhi sat in front of the bronze mirror and removed all her hair and makeup.

"Princess, I will stay with you tonight." Qingyu was also worried that something unexpected might happen.

Yu Jinzhi glanced at the sky outside.

"No need, you can go and have a rest." Yu Jinzhi replied.

Qingyu was still worried: "Princess, His Highness is different now. If you are really taken away by him, I am afraid something unexpected will happen."

Yu Jinzhi touched her hair and said, "You can't do anything here, go back."

Although this statement is a bit heartbreaking, it is indeed the truth.

Qingyu was helpless, and Ying San happened to appear in front of the window next to her. When Qingyu saw him, her eyes lit up. His Majesty is here?

"Princess." Xie Yuxiu spoke.

Yu Jinzhi glanced at him and said: "You are really a nocturnal animal. You appear in front of me every night."

After seeing Xie Yuxiu, Qingyu felt more relieved. At least when he was around, he could ward off a lot of danger. So, Qingyu hesitated for a moment and then retreated.

"There are too many people around during the day." Xie Yuxiu made up an excuse.

"So you don't rest during the day or at night?" Yu Jinzhi was curious.

"There is always time to rest. There is nothing to do during the day, so most of the time I rest." Xie Yuxiu replied. He indeed did not get enough rest these days because he was busy with official duties during the day and had to come to see Yu Jinzhi at night.

But the real Ying San... he really rests almost all day and night.

"Do you know everything that happened today?" Yu Jinzhi asked again.

Of course Xie Yuxiu had already known about it. After all, Liang Qing did not deliberately avoid people when he said these words.

"Yeah." Xie Yuxiu responded.

"If you meet anyone suspicious, Princess, please stay in your room and don't come out." Xie Yuxiu instructed.

"He won't send anyone over." Yu Jinzhi seemed very sure.

Xie Yuxiu was puzzled: "Why is the princess so sure?"

"Because he will definitely come in person." Yu Jinzhi replied.

Xie Yuxiu: "..."

Yu Jinzhi stood up from her seat, walked to the window and looked at "Shadow Three" in front of her.

"Don't stop me later." Yu Jinzhi said again.

Xie Yuxiu became even more confused, but nervous at the same time.

"Does the princess really want to go with him?" Xie Yuxiu asked in disbelief.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "Of course not, what are you thinking about?"

Xie Yuxiu: "..."

"In short, don't stop me from getting close to him." Yu Jinzhi reminded again.

Although Xie Yuxiu was reluctant to agree, he did not refuse. In short, since he had already appeared here, he would not let Xie Zhao, that bastard, hurt Yu Jinzhi.

Yu Jinzhi was wearing a white dress, and she had taken off all her jewelry, looking elegant and calm. Xie Yuxiu was in a trance when he saw her just now, because he always thought that Yu Jinzhi was still young, but now... she seemed to always exude a maturity that was inconsistent with her age.

"Princess, please don't stand here. It will be very cold in the wind." Xie Yuxiu said.

Yu Jinzhi didn't care much, but asked: "Has the riot outside the city been quelled today?"

"Yeah," Xie Yuxiu replied.

"It's Xie Zhao, right?" Yu Jinzhi asked again.

"Yes..." Xie Yuxiu hesitated.

"He wasn't like this before." Yu Jinzhi's thoughts seemed to drift far away.
