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

Xie Yuxiu noticed the bite mark on her lip.

"It will hurt to apply medicine on your knees, but will it not hurt if you bite yourself? It would be fine if it hurts only one place, why do you have to hurt it in two places?" Xie Yuxiu showed no leniency.

"If you want to cry, cry out. If you want to shout, shout out. I'm not stuffing your mouth with a cloth, so why are you holding it in?" Xie Yuxiu's mouth seemed to be filled with poison.

Yu Jinzhi slowly loosened her clenched fists. Although her knees hurt a little, she didn't dare to do the same thing again.

"She punished you for no reason, and you don't know how to refuse? You just let her bully you like that, do you have a pig brain?" Xie Yuxiu was so angry when he thought about what happened today that he had no place to vent.

Yu Jinzhi remained silent. The more she spoke, the more mistakes she made. She didn't want to make any excuses.

but……

"I'm talking to you, but something's stuck in my throat and I can't speak." Xie Yuxiu kept scolding.

After hearing this, Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to remain silent any longer.

"It's not without reason..." Yu Jinzhi replied.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know it for no reason? Weren't you very capable before? Why are you so timid and hesitant when doing things now?" Xie Yuxiu was unforgiving.

Yu Jinzhi felt a sour taste in her nose.

"His Majesty once said that if you make a mistake you must accept the punishment, if you enter the palace you must follow the rules, and if you meet people you must know the hierarchy. You must accept the rewards and punishments given to those below you by the superiors, and they are all gifts and cannot be refused or refuted." Yu Jinzhi's eyes were dim.

She was born noble and enjoyed infinite honor. There were always people flattering her and fawning on her, so she was naturally unrestrained in doing things.

But that was in the past...

After being forced into the palace, she had learned her lesson, because if she didn't she would be beaten and punished. What's the point of having a straight back? If it's broken, how can it be straightened again?

When she was first captured and brought into the palace, she was also arrogant and self-willed as before when facing the challenges posed by others. But what did she get in return?

Take Concubine Jia for example, she had made things difficult for herself more than once or twice. Before, she had used excuses to talk back to her, and if she wanted to punish herself with a slap, she would slap back.

But what was the result? Concubine Jia directly told Xie Yuxiu the truth, and after he knew about it, he handed himself over to Concubine Jia for discipline, and she was slapped 20 times.

From the moment she was born, she had never suffered such humiliation, but what could she do? She had been punished and beaten, but she was just a helpless woman without any support, so how could she fight back?

Afterwards, Xie Yuxiu said the above words to himself - if you make a mistake, you must be punished, and if you enter the palace, you must know the rules...

Xie Yuzheng paused as he was applying the medicine on him. Perhaps he had also remembered this incident? He raised his eyes to look at Yu Jinzhi and stared at her closely: "Are you blaming me?"

“I dare not…” Yu Jinzhi was extremely docile.

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything, but just stared at the woman in front of him.

Under his gaze, Yu Jinzhi's heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out.

"Not daring does not mean that I can't. But, Yu Jinzhi, you have no right to blame me." After a long while, he finally said this.

Yu Jinzhi kept her eyes down, with no emotion in them.

"Yes, I am of low status and have no right to blame Your Majesty." She said softly.

After hearing this, Xie Yuxiu suddenly became angry for no reason, and even increased the strength of applying the medicine to her.

"Ah..." Yu Jinzhi really couldn't bear the pain this time.

She knew that Xie Yuxiu was venting his anger, and he was probably angry because of what she had just said.

A faint sourness and bitterness welled up in Yu Jinzhi's heart. She also felt aggrieved, but she had to swallow her grievances by herself because no one would feel sorry for her.

After hearing her voice, Xie Yuxiu regained his rationality for a moment. He stopped his movements and then resumed his previous, slightly gentler strength.

"Your Majesty" Wang Yi walked in from outside.

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia is here and said she wants to see you." Wang Yi spoke cautiously.

"Let her kneel outside!" Xie Yuxiu's voice suddenly became louder, as if hiding infinite anger.

Yu Jinzhi was so frightened by his words that she trembled violently. Wang Yi was also frightened and knelt on the ground instantly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will go and report to the Queen Mother right away!"

Wang Yi hurriedly left the inner hall. Yu Jinzhi was still in shock. She didn't know why Xie Yuxiu suddenly got so angry. But he was always moody, so this was not unusual.

After applying the ointment, Xie Yuxiu put it aside. He stood up, with anger still in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him.

Yu Jinzhi shrank back uneasily.

"Take it off!" Xie Yuxiu spat out these words coldly.

When Yu Jinzhi heard this word, she couldn't stop shaking all over. She looked up at the emperor in front of her with helpless eyes: "Your Majesty..."

"I told you to take it off!" Xie Yuxiu's eyes were full of madness, he needed to vent...

Yu Jinzhi was afraid, but it was a pity that she had never had any autonomy in such matters. If she dragged it on, she would be the only one to suffer in the end.

Thinking of this, she finally raised her hand and lowered her collar, then pulled it down little by little, until the white dress inside was exposed, and then she slowly stopped.

Yu Jinzhi adjusted her posture and knelt directly on the bed. Xie Yuxiu's eyes never left her.

He could clearly see the uneasiness, resistance, and panic on Yu Jinzhi's face. She turned her head slightly, revealing a large area of ​​her fair chest skin and neck.

She closed her eyes, trying to hide all the humiliation and fear in her eyes. Xie Yuxiu slowly approached her, stretched out his hand, and lightly stroked Yu Jinzhi's skin, causing her to tremble.

Finally, he exerted force and lifted Yu Jinzhi's chin directly: "Don't close your eyes, look at me."

Yu Jinzhi slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering lightly due to nervousness. Tears had already accumulated in her eye sockets, as if they would fall down at the next moment.

Xie Yuxiu felt a slight pain in his heart.

"Why are you crying?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "Don't cry, I won't cry anymore..." She was afraid, a person who was afraid even of crying, because she thought Xie Yuxiu was angry, angry that she was crying.

The emotions in Xie Yuxiu's eyes became complicated. When a tear escaped from Yu Jinzhi's eyes, he wiped it clean with his fingertips.
