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

Yu Jinzhi in the palace was not unaware of the noise outside. She heard Xie Yuxiu's order and Concubine Jia's screams clearly.

Yu Jinzhi's heart trembled slightly. He really would not show mercy to anyone. She closed her eyes, tightly grasped her scattered dress, and slowly curled up.

She fell on the bed, curling herself up into a small ball, obediently. Yu Jinzhi's breathing was very light, and the rise and fall of her chest became clear in the quiet environment.

Slowly, she began to feel sleepy, and then she closed her eyes. She was so tired and dizzy, she just wanted to sleep for a while...

Yu Jinzhi fell asleep, her breathing gradually became longer, only the candlelight was still swaying slightly.

The sky is falling, the moon is sleeping

Although the rain came suddenly, it stopped just as quickly. Not only did the rain stop, but there were even more stars in the sky.

Yu Jinzhi did have a high fever. Fortunately, Xie Yuxiu had ordered someone to watch her early in the morning, so when the palace servants discovered that Yu Jinzhi was in an abnormal condition, they immediately called the imperial physician over.

After checking Yu Jinzhi's pulse, the imperial physician concluded that she had caught a cold and been caught in the rain tonight. Her body had always been weak, but it couldn't be said that it had always been weak. This was the first time that her body had fully recovered since she entered the palace a year ago.

When Xie Yuxiu came over, Yu Jinzhi was still asleep with sweat all over her forehead. The imperial physician said that sweating was normal and that only by sweating could she get better.

He dismissed all the palace servants and sat down beside the little woman's bed. Although she was asleep, her brows were still furrowed. Looking at the sweat stains on her forehead and the knot in her brows, Xie Yuxiu's heart also twitched.

He took the handkerchief that the palace maid had just placed aside and wiped the sweat off her face with clumsy movements.

"You always make yourself so pitiful." His calm voice sounded.

Yu Jinzhi naturally couldn't hear or respond. She kept holding the quilt tightly, as if she had had a nightmare.

"No..." She was still struggling uneasily in her dream.

Xie Yuxiu frowned slightly. Did she have a nightmare? She was often like this. She could not sleep well and had nightmares from time to time.

He put down the handkerchief in his hand, and then held Yu Jinzhi's hand. But she held the quilt tightly, perhaps hoping to get some comfort from now on?

Xie Yuxiu pried open his fingers little by little, then put her own hand in and wrapped it around her.

"So cold? If people who don't know knew this, they would think you were dead." Xie Yuxiu was also very sharp-tongued. Although Yu Jinzhi couldn't hear him, he was really merciless in his words.

He wrapped Yu Jinzhi's hand with the warmth of his palm, and fortunately it became warm after a while.

"Yu Jinzhi, you really deserve it!" Xie Yuxiu began to grit his teeth again when he said this. What kind of person is she? He should have strangled her to death, but he couldn't bring himself to do it when he saw her tearful eyes.

"What a disaster..." His tone became much lighter, but his eyes were always on this little woman.

Yu Jinzhi had a dream, a very scary dream...

She dreamed that she was locked up by Xie Yuxiu in a prison where she couldn't see anything. It was dark and damp, with no sunlight, and only swarms of rats and cockroaches, all crawling on her.

She had heavy chains on her hands and feet, and she smelled foul. The cell was extremely quiet, as if no one was there.

But she could occasionally hear screams coming from outside, probably from the prisoners. Their screams made her hair stand on end, but no matter how much she begged for mercy, Xie Yuxiu would not let her go.

Later, she dreamed that Xie Yuxiu ordered her to be tortured, and a long whip with barbs fell fiercely on her body. It hurt so much...

“No…” Yu Jinzhi became more and more uneasy.

She was thrown back into the cell with wounds all over her body, barely breathing. But those snakes, rats, insects and ants loved her most.

She felt like her body was covered with insects and ants, which were gnawing at her frantically until she was completely reduced to a pile of bones.

No...no!

Yu Jinzhi was cold all over, she struggled constantly, and finally slowly opened her eyes. She was still in shock, and her rapid breathing revealed her current emotions.

Xie Yuxiu had been watching beside her the whole time, and his eyes darkened when he saw her wake up. Yu Jinzhi also realized that it was just a dream, but the next moment she saw the person sitting in front of her.

The feeling of fear in the dream surged up from the soles of his feet again. He... would really do something like that.

Yu Jinzhi tried to sit up, but she hid behind him. Xie Yuxiu was very sensitive to her little action and felt unhappy. What did she mean? He had been here to guard her for so long, and when she woke up, she was thinking about hiding from him?

Thinking of this, his face darkened instantly.

"Are you hiding from me?" Xie Yuxiu's eyes looked dangerous.

How could Yu Jinzhi dare to admit it? She felt dizzy, and she had just done it subconsciously, but...

"I don't want to be put in jail..." Yu Jinzhi said this in a trembling voice, with a strong cry in her throat.

Maybe it was because she was sick, or maybe it was because she just woke up, she said this subconsciously.

Xie Yuxiu had a cold expression at first, but was slightly stunned when she heard this. What did she just say? When did he say that he would put her in jail?

"Come here." Xie Yuxiu uttered these two words.

Yu Jinzhi was afraid, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she could only overcome the fear in her heart and slowly sit forward.

Xie Yuxiu raised his hand, and Yu Jinzhi shrank her neck in fear and even closed her eyes. Did she think he was going to hit her? Was he going to hit her?

"It's useless," Xie Yuxiu said, suppressing the emotions churning in his heart.

He put his hand on Yu Jinzhi's forehead, and it was still a little hot, so was she confused due to fever? These quack doctors didn't know what was going on, and the high fever wouldn't go down for a long time.

Yu Jinzhi was still scared. Xie Yuxiu lowered his eyes and looked at this poor little creature, and actually felt a trace of pity in his heart?

Yes, it was pity, pity that made him suddenly want to hold the person in his arms and comfort her. He didn't know if his body was faster than his brain, but he actually pulled the person into his arms.

Yu Jinzhi was so frightened that she dared not speak or breathe.

Xie Yuxiu's movements froze for a moment, but he reacted in just a split second.

"If you are delirious due to the fever, just take a rest and don't talk nonsense. When did I say I would put you in jail?" Xie Yuxiu said this stiffly, suppressing the pity in his heart.
