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

Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to look him in the eye, so she kept looking down.

"You are afraid of me, are you very afraid?" Xie Yuxiu's tone was flat, but the words he said were inexplicably frightening, like staring into the abyss, with indescribable morbidity in his eyes.

He stroked Yu Jinzhi's face as if he was admiring a rare work of art.

Yu Jinzhi's fear was obvious, but she didn't dare to say the word because she was afraid that saying so would anger the madman Xie Yuxiu.

"No... no, I'm not afraid." She began to stutter.

Xie Yuxiu laughed sarcastically: "Aren't you afraid?"

Yu Jinzhi's breathing became more and more rapid, and the next moment she saw him kiss her lips fiercely. She subconsciously resisted, but after thinking about the consequences of resistance, she still compromised obediently.

Xie Yuxiu demanded frantically, his tongue conquering the city like a spear, prying open the pearly teeth and moving around flexibly like a snake.

Yu Jinzhi was almost breathless because of his sudden action. She wanted to hide, but the consequences of hiding were not something she could afford.

Suddenly, she felt a tingling sensation on her lips, followed by a strong smell of blood.

Xie Yuxiu slowly let go of her. Yu Jinzhi's lips were already stained with a hint of red. The blood on her lips and the deep red at the end of her eyes made Xie Yuxiu look even more sick and crazy.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on Yu Jinzhi's mouth, then gently wiped the blood off her mouth. The originally pale woman became even more attractive at this moment.

"You should be afraid, but you brought this upon yourself." Xie Yuxiu said this without thinking.

He looked at the trembling woman and had no intention of continuing the next step. He just raised his hand slightly.

The moment he raised his hand, Yu Jinzhi subconsciously closed her eyes and shrank her body.

Xie Yuxiu's raised hand paused for a moment, but returned to normal in a moment. He reached out and pulled up Yu Jinzhi's clothes that had been pulled down to her back.

Yu Jinzhi watched his movements and didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

"I don't like the way you lie." Xie Yuxiu's gaze fell back on Yu Jinzhi's knees.

"Considering that you are injured, I will spare you this time. After you recover, I will make you repay me double." Xie Yuxiu stood up from the bed.

Yu Jinzhi said nothing. She probably hadn't recovered from the fear just now. Even when Xie Yuxiu left the room, she was still gasping for breath with lingering fear.

Looking at the direction Xie Yuxiu left, she touched her chest, trying to calm the emotions that had just gotten out of control.

And outside the door...

As soon as Xie Yuxiu went out, he saw Concubine Jia kneeling at the door.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Jia's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was gentle, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Your Majesty, how could you do this to me? If this gets out, how will those people look at me? I've been kneeling for a long time, and my legs hurt so much..." Xie Yuxiu was disgusted by Concubine Jia's delicate and artificial appearance.

He thought again of Yu Jinzhi's forbearing look when he applied medicine to her just now, and the wound on her knee.

Xie Yuxiu took two steps forward, and Concubine Jia looked up at him: "Your Majesty~"

"Don't you like being punished by kneeling?" Xie Yuxiu's tone was flat as if covered with a thin layer of ice, and the look in his eyes was even more obscure.

Concubine Jia shuddered when she heard this. Why did she have a bad feeling in her heart? It's not like she had never punished Yu Jinzhi before, and nothing happened, right?

"Your Majesty, are you angry because I punished that bitch Yu Jinzhi? I did that for you. I just wanted to teach that ungrateful bitch a lesson for you."

"You raised her well in the palace, but she actually wanted to escape from the palace secretly. I felt it was unfair for you, so I taught her a lesson. Your Majesty... I feel sorry for you, Your Majesty." Concubine Jia started to defend herself.

After hearing these words, Xie Yuxiu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, full of sarcasm.

"Really? So I should still reward you?" Xie Yuxiu said in a light tone.

Concubine Jia's anxiety gradually grew: "Your Majesty..."

Xie Yuxiu shot her a sharp gaze: "Am I too tolerant of you? Do you think that I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life just because you said a few good words for me?"

"No, that's not the case. I didn't mean that. Your Majesty... I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!" Concubine Jia finally started to panic.

But how could Xie Yuxiu be so easy to deal with? The scarlet in his eyes seemed to be brewing a bigger storm. The emotions that he had just suppressed in the room suddenly burst out at this moment.

"Wrong? Since you know you are wrong, you should be punished!" Xie Yuxiu said coldly.

Concubine Jia was so frightened by these words that she crawled over to grab Xie Yuxiu's clothes and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please don't. I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. I helped you, Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

"Help? So you want to repay the favor? What a pity, I never fall for it! Someone come here!" Xie Yuxiu was not moved at all.

"Your Majesty," the palace maid came forward.

"Take him away and give him thirty lashes!" Xie Yuxiu was really merciless.

"Yes," the palace maid said without hesitation. Who in the palace dared to question Xie Yuxiu's order?

And anyone can tell what kind of thoughts this Concubine Jia has. So she is the favorite concubine of the late emperor, but she is younger than Your Majesty, okay?

Over the years, she has been doing whatever she wants in the harem just because she said a few good words for His Majesty. His Majesty doesn't bother to care, does she really think she is a different person to His Majesty?

Concubine Jia was dragged away roughly, and soon the sound of whipping flesh and Concubine Jia's screams could be heard from outside.

Such a punishment was indeed a bit too severe for a concubine, but it seemed inexplicably reasonable for Xie Yuxiu to do such things, because he was a person who did things without any rules and based on his mood.

"Your Majesty, the princess's medicine is ready." A palace servant came forward carrying the medicine.

Xie Yuxiu glanced at her and said, "Bring it in and watch her drink it. She caught a cold and was coughing just now. Have the imperial physician be on standby tonight and have the waiters pay more attention. If she develops a high fever, send someone to report immediately."

"Yes." The palace maid bowed and left.

"Go back to Zichen Palace!" Xie Yuxiu said, and then left Jiayu Palace directly.
