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

But now she has to endure such torture. In this situation, how can she still look like a normal person? To put it bluntly, after being tortured like this, the princess is even worse than an animal...

But others at least have a reason for their fate, or they may have done something wrong. But what about the princess? What did she do wrong from beginning to end? Why was she treated like this?

"Your Majesty, let me help the princess apply the medicine." Qingyu was really distressed.

"No need," Xie Yuxiu refused. Looking at the scratch on the back of Yu Jinzhi's hand, his heart trembled.

In what kind of situation and circumstances would she, who is so afraid of pain, have her hand scratched beyond recognition?

In addition to the scratches, there were also marks left by being chained. Her skin was delicate and she had experienced a violent struggle, so many parts of her body were bruised.

Xie Yuxiu gently applied the ointment on her wound. She was shaking the whole time, so she couldn't tell whether it was the pain from the wound or she was just scared.

"No...no..." Yu Jinzhi kept muttering.

Xie Yuxiu felt as if a needle was stabbing his heart, but he still focused on helping him treat the wound on his hand. He didn't know it would be like this, he really didn't know... he didn't know it would be so serious.

He had been in such an environment many times before. Those people liked to lock him up in a small room like this. There was also a very small box that he was stuffed into and stayed in for a whole day. He even found it difficult to breathe in it, and the box was too small, so he could only curl up, which was really painful.

He was also afraid at first, but slowly, he got used to it. Later, he killed those people and prepared to put them in the box.

But he couldn't fit all those people in the box, so... he divided their bodies into several pieces so that they could fit...

He would enjoy their screams and their constant begging for mercy. That would be really satisfying, because that was how he had experienced it before...

Xie Yuxiu looked at the woman in his arms. He was always ruthless when dealing with those people, so why was he so soft-hearted when it came to her?

She couldn't even stay in the place where she used to stay every day for half an hour. She was so spoiled... But she was spoiled when she grew up. They were different. The clouds in the sky and the swamps on the ground were never the same world.

Xie Yuxiu raised his hand and touched her hair. Yu Jinzhi's trembling body never stopped.

"Why can't you be a better boy?" His eyes were slightly red. Why couldn't she stand by him like we did when they were little?

Everyone can stand against him, but she can't... She is the only person who has ever stood by her side, and she can't take him to see the moon and then cover it up again.

Xie Yuxiu hugged Yu Jinzhi tighter: "Everyone, leave." he said.

Although Qingyu was worried, it was useless for her to stay here. All the servants left, and Yu Jinzhi and Xie Yuxiu were the only ones left in the room.

"It's okay, don't be afraid..." He gently comforted the person in his arms.

The pair of big hands held her tightly and refused to let go, and kept patting her back gently, as if they were coaxing a child to sleep.

Yu Jinzhi looked dazed and lifeless, and just curled up in his arms. Wang Yi had someone light a calming incense stick, and the imperial physician prescribed a calming medicine, but Yu Jinzhi couldn't drink it.

Now, whenever she hears the slightest sign of trouble, she will have a strong stress reaction, so she can't take medicine.

Xie Yuxiu didn't want to force her to drink it. If she didn't want to drink it, then don't drink it. The calming incense in the room was specially prepared by him before, and it was very effective. It would be the same even if she didn't drink the bowl of calming soup.

Xie Yuxiu just kept this action, coaxing her over and over again, without saying anything else.

It was not known whether it was his action that worked or because of the calming incense, but Yu Jinzhi's body, which had been shaking constantly, slowly calmed down.

He looked down at Yu Jinzhi, who seemed to be gradually relaxing. He didn't dare to speak, fearing that he would scare her again, and he didn't even dare to move.

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Jinzhi gently closed her eyes. Xie Yuxiu's breathing also became lighter, for fear of disturbing her.

After Yu Jinzhi fell asleep completely, he dared to move his numb body slightly. Yu Jinzhi's brows were furrowed tightly, and he couldn't rest even when he fell asleep.

He reached out his hand and touched the knot on her brow, as if trying to smooth it out, but it had no effect at all.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear what Yu Jinzhi was saying again. Xie Yuxiu's whole body stiffened, and he was afraid that he would become like that again.

He looked at Yu Jinzhi nervously. After a long while, he didn't see anyone wake up, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But he also heard clearly what Yu Jinzhi had just said.

She said - don't lock her up, beg him not to open the door...

She was begging him to let her go.

Xie Yuxiu couldn't explain clearly what his mood was like right now. He clearly shouldn't be soft-hearted, because being soft-hearted would make all the efforts he had made before go to waste.

Can……

He looked at the little girl who couldn't even sleep peacefully, and he began to hesitate. Was he going too far? Was what he did a little too cruel for her?

Tears fell down, and she cried. Xie Yuxiu felt as if needles were piercing his heart, and he was almost unable to breathe. He reached out his hand, gently wiped her tears with his fingertips, and held her hand even tighter.

Well, he couldn't bear to...

He couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't bear to keep her in this way anymore, and he couldn't bear to use such means on her anymore.

Yu Jinzhi is different from those people. The cruel methods used against others should not be used on her, she will not be able to bear it.

"This kind of thing will never happen again...never again." Xie Yuxiu murmured to himself, and he finally compromised.

Today I misunderstood her and thought she wanted to escape.

Although I don’t know if she didn’t dare to leave because she was afraid that this was a trap, but she did reject Xie Zhao, and that’s enough.

She would plead for Xie Zhao only because she didn't know Xie Zhao's true face. Xie Zhao had been very good to her before, so it was normal for her to not forget Xie Zhao's kindness for a while, after all, she had always been very kind.

So...she is not wrong actually. There is no need to be so anxious about other things. Everything will get better if you wait little by little.

Xie Yuxiu seemed to have convinced himself that he... was willing to be more patient.
