Yu Jinzhi's illness was really severe and she fell into a coma. Xie Yuxiu was worried about her so he stayed by Jiayu Palace the whole time.

"Your Majesty, you haven't rested for the whole night. You should put your health first in everything. Why don't you take a rest first? I will call you when there is news from the princess." Wang Yi advised tentatively.

"No, let's move all the memorials for today to Jiayu Palace." Xie Yuxiu didn't look tired at all. He was just wondering when Yu Jinzhi would wake up.

Well, Wang Yi had actually expected this, but he didn't know if His Majesty would control his temper if the princess could wake up this time.

The imperial physician quickly made all the medicine into pills according to Xie Yuxiu's instructions, and took one pill for Yu Jinzhi to hold in her mouth.

"Your Majesty, General Yu is asking for an audience outside the palace gate." The palace servant came in and reported.

Yu Sheng? When Xie Yuxiu heard this, he looked at Yu Jinzhi who was still unconscious. He came to ask for a meeting at this time because he had heard about what happened last night.

"Let him go back." Xie Yuxiu refused without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, General Yu said that if he cannot see Your Majesty today, he will remain kneeling." The palace servant answered under pressure. After all, everyone knew that the current emperor was moody. What if he was punished?

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Xie Yuxiu's face darkened.

"Is he threatening me?" Xie Yuxiu said in an unhappy tone.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think General Yu is worried about the princess." Wang Yi said from the side.

"So what? As a subject, what is he doing but a threat? Since he wants to kneel, let him kneel. I want to see how long he can kneel." Xie Yuxiu looked uneasy. If Yu Sheng was not Yu Jinzhi's father, he would have dragged him away and dealt with him long ago.

"Your Majesty, General Yu is also very protective of his daughter. Moreover, he was injured some time ago. If he really kneels down like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. Moreover, if the princess wakes up and hears that Your Majesty has punished her father, I'm afraid she will be sad again." Wang Yi carefully comforted her.

Xie Yuxiu's brows furrowed more and more, but this statement seemed to make sense. He thought of the fact that Yu Jinzhi had even fled the palace for her father. And in the previous life, Yu Sheng, with a head full of white hair, knelt every few steps while holding Yu Jinzhi's body.

"Send someone to pass on the message, saying that the person hasn't woken up yet, and it's useless for him to come now. After the person wakes up, I will let him into the palace." Xie Yuxiu finally compromised.

"Yes." Wang Yi was completely relieved, and then hurried to pass on the order. Sure enough, it would be useful if the princess was mentioned, otherwise there would be no way to get through today.

Xie Yuxiu looked at the position of Yu Jinzhi's bed. Why hasn't she woken up yet? If she continued to sleep like this, he would doubt whether Yu Jinzhi would wake up today.

He suddenly began to feel uneasy. What if Yu Jinzhi really couldn't wake up? Would he lose her forever like last time?

In his previous life, after Yu Jinzhi jumped off the city wall, he held her in his arms, but she never opened her eyes again. In the following forty years, he didn't even know how he survived.

He could see Yu Jinzhi's shadow every day, but every time he saw her, it was an illusion. Whenever he wanted to touch her, she would completely disappear.

Xie Yuxiu really didn't want to go through that kind of day again. So... Yu Jinzhi, please wake up quickly, okay?

"When you wake up this time, I will no longer pursue the matter between you and Xie Zhao. I will never again..."

I don't know if Xie Yuxiu's silent prayers worked. Yu Jinzhi did react. She first grabbed the quilt in front of her chest anxiously, then began to tremble, and struggled restlessly on the bed.

Xie Yuxiu noticed the movement from Yu Jinzhi's side at a glance, so he stepped forward quickly.

"Zhizhi?" He held Yu Jinzhi's hand.

Yu Jinzhi's facial features were all wrinkled together, as if she had dreamed of something horrible, and she kept breathing heavily.

"Zhizhi?" Xie Yuxiu called her name again. In fact, he rarely called Yu Jinzhi like that.

"No... it hurts... it hurts so much..." Yu Jinzhi felt like she was in a nightmare. Xie Yuxiu wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how.

He had no choice but to put one arm around her shoulders and hold her hand with the other: "Zhizhi, don't be afraid, wake up, okay? It's okay, where does it hurt? Tell me, okay?"

"No..." Yu Jinzhi's movements became more and more intense, and she seemed to want to shake off Xie Yuxiu's hand.

But the more she struggled, the tighter Xie Yuxiu held her. Finally, Yu Jinzhi suddenly opened her eyes and looked around in shock.

"Zhizhi..." When Xie Yuxiu saw that she woke up, even his tone became surprised.

But his voice made Yu Jinzhi feel cold on her back. When she saw Xie Yuxiu in front of her, her first reaction was to avoid him.

She suddenly shook off Xie Yuxiu's hand and tried to run away quickly. Because of her big movements and panic, she almost fell off the bed.

Xie Yuxiu was also stunned. He didn't expect Yu Jinzhi to react like this when she saw him. He reached out to hold the person who was about to fall, but Yu Jinzhi resisted his contact like a frightened bird and fell to the ground.

"Yu Jinzhi!" He was a little flustered, so he called out Yu Jinzhi's name in a panic.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Yu Jinzhi shouted.

Perhaps because he only called her like this when he was angry before, Yu Jinzhi was frightened by this voice. Then she began to shrink to the side, hiding under the bed, saying sorry all the time.

But she had no way to hide under the bed, so when she reached the foot of the bed she curled up and hugged herself tightly.

“I’m sorry… no punishment… don’t punish me… don’t lock me up, it’s so dark…” She said these words intermittently.

Xie Yuxiu heard what she said clearly, and it was as if several needles were pierced into his heart. He looked at Yu Jinzhi with complicated eyes, but did not step forward immediately.

"I'll be good... I won't run, I won't run anymore..." Her face was filled with fear and tears, her eyes were dull like those of a normal person, without a single ray of light in them, and her pupils were abnormally dark.

Xie Yuxiu walked forward slowly, half-knelt on the ground, looked at the woman who was curled up at the head of the bed and trying to cover herself with the bed curtain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhizhi? It's off, come here, okay? Don't lie on the ground, I'll pick you up, okay?" He lowered his voice to the softest level, for fear of scaring the ceramic doll in front of him that looked like a piece of things together.
