The ceremony of crowning the queen will be held in three days, but she still remembered that Xie Yuxiu said yesterday that he would execute her father in a busy city in three days. So did he want the day she was crowned queen to be the day her father's body and head were separated?

"Princess, these are the phoenix robes and crowns sent by His Majesty for use in the coronation ceremony." The palace servant said, and there were about ten palace servants behind him, all holding trays in their hands.

Yu Jinzhi remained indifferent and just turned her head away.

The palace maid beside him was also helpless: "Let him go." said the palace maid.

"Yes." The palace maid retreated with the things, and Yu Jinzhi's eyes turned red.

For three whole days, she hadn't been able to see Xie Yuxiu...

On the day of the coronation ceremony

As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, Yu Jinzhi was woken up by the palace servants and started to put on makeup. She sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in her gorgeous attire in the mirror, her eyes becoming dazed for a moment.

The phoenix robe behind her dragged three feet on the ground. It had a smooth texture and emitted a faint luster under the light.

The phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread on the robe was lifelike, and even the feathers of the phoenix were embroidered very delicately, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly into nirvana.

The collar of the gown was designed to be very high, fitting the neckline of Yu Jinzhi, elegant and noble. The cuffs were inlaid with exquisite embroidery, which complemented the body of the gown. The gown was tailored to fit her perfectly, showing her figure just right, as if it was tailor-made for her.

"Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to get on the sedan chair." The palace maid reminded.

The weather in the past two days was not good. Yu Jinzhi was helped to get on the sedan chair. The sky had turned lead gray, and the clouds were thick and low, as if they could suffocate people.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled not far away, and dazzling lightning flashed from time to time, like the roar and struggle of the sky. The wind began to roar, rolling up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, forming a series of rapid air currents. The trees swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, like a precursor to the coming of a rainstorm.

"How can the weather change so suddenly? You better be careful and walk steadily, so as not to hurt the Empress," the palace maid shouted at the people carrying the sedan chair.

Yu Jinzhi didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just sat quietly in the sedan chair. She didn't know what she was thinking now, but the torture she had suffered from Xie Yuxiu before became clearer to her.

Just as the sedan chair passed by the palace gate, she finally spoke for the first time in three days: "Stop the sedan chair."

The maid who was serving her looked at her and said, "Your Majesty..."

However, Yu Jinzhi didn't care whether these people heard her or not, and just stood up. The palace servants were startled, and had to stop the sedan chair to prevent her from getting hurt.

"Your Majesty," the palace maid stepped forward and tried to support her but she dodged.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Why don't you tell the servants to do it?" The palace maid was obviously getting nervous and worried.

Yu Jinzhi was still going forward regardless. The palace maid was afraid that something might happen so she had to kneel in front of her. The guards behind her also stepped forward to block her: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" the palace maid shouted.

Yu Jinzhi looked at them expressionlessly. After a long silence, she finally said, "I want to see Xie Yuxiu." A calm voice sounded.

"Your Majesty will be able to see His Majesty soon. We are here to escort you there," the palace maid advised.

But Yu Jinzhi had already lost control. She shook her head and said, "I want to see Xie Yuxiu! I want to see him!" She took off the Phoenix Coronet from her head and threw it aside. She also pulled off her hairpin and put it against her throat, "Let me see him!" It was too late...

The palace servants were startled: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We will go and call His Majesty right away. We will go right away." A palace servant immediately went to find Xie Yuxiu, but Yu Jinzhi became more and more agitated.

She suddenly wanted to run forward, and the guards did not dare to stop her because the hairpin in her hand was against her neck. When she reached the palace gate, she looked at the guards at the gate and ran directly to the tower.

She took off her red phoenix robe and the pearl flowers on her head. When Xie Yuxiu arrived, she was already standing on the fence of the tower.

When Xie Yuxiu saw her with disheveled hair and wearing a red dress standing on the towering city wall, his pupils shrank suddenly and an unprecedented fear instantly crept into his heart.

"Yu Jinzhi! What do you want to do? Come down!" He was filled with hostility, as if he could tear the person in front of him into pieces and eat him in the next moment.

The air became moist and heavy, small puddles appeared on the road, and raindrops began to fall sparsely, making crackling sounds when hitting the ground.

Yu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yuxiu not far away, her eyes blurred with tears: "Xie Yuxiu..." She called his name.

Xie Yuxiu saw that the hairpin in her hand had pierced her neck, and the bright red blood instantly stung his eyes.

"I'll say it again, come down!" Xie Yuxiu herself did not even notice the trembling in her voice. Yu Jinzhi had threatened her with death before, but never as extreme as that time.

"Xie Yuxiu, can I exchange my life for my father's? Let him go, let him go!" Yu Jinzhi was very emotional. She had no other choice.

But her words seemed to remind Xie Yuxiu: "If you dare to die, I will let the entire Yu family be buried with you! I warn you for the last time, get out of here immediately!"

The last glimmer of hope in Yu Jinzhi's eyes slowly faded away, the wind gently caressed her face, blowing up her messy hair. Perhaps he had sensed something, and Xie Yuxiu's heart was instantly tense: "I don't want to kill your father, you come down first..." He finally softened his tone.

Yu Jinzhi's eyes gradually gathered again. Xie Yuxiu saw hope. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand: "Come down. If you come down, I will take you to see your father."

She opened her mouth and slowly put down the hairpin in her hand, but at this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over from the palace gate and shouted: "Your Majesty, the criminal Yu Sheng has been executed!"

The taut strings in her head suddenly shattered into pieces. Yu Jinzhi felt as if something had exploded instantly, and even Xie Yuxiu was caught off guard.

"Yu Jinzhi!" He was about to step forward when he heard Yu Jinzhi's heart-wrenching roar: "Don't come over here!" Her hairpin pierced into his flesh, and Xie Yuxiu finally panicked.

"I'm not coming over. You come down first." His voice became hoarse and he even forgot to call himself.

"Yu Jinzhi, I don't really want to execute your father. He is not dead. Come down and go find him, okay?" Xie Yuxiu never thought of really executing Yu Sheng, so how could he die?

But now is not the time for him to worry about this, because Yu Jinzhi no longer trusts him at all.

"You still want to lie to me, Xie Yuxiu, my father did nothing, he did nothing!" Yu Jinzhi's emotions became more and more agitated, and Xie Yuxiu was now unable to explain: "I said, I did not order the death of your father, Yu Jinzhi, stop making trouble!"

Yu Jinzhi cried so hard that she couldn't speak, and even her breathing became rapid: "I really regret meeting you on that rainy day..." she said softly.

Xie Yuxiu paused. That rainy day...

Yu Jinzhi slowly let go of the hand holding the hairpin: "Xie Yuxiu, I curse you, I curse you to lose everything you cherish in this life, and live in pain and regret for the rest of your life." She didn't yell, but her tone made him even more frightened.

"Yu Jinzhi..." he called out.

But at this moment, Yu Jinzhi stretched out her hand to him, and then leaned back...

"Yu Jinzhi!" He reached out to hold her, but at the moment their fingertips touched, they completely missed her.

Xie Yuxiu rushed to the fence of the city wall. The gorgeous figure stimulated every nerve of Xie Yuxiu. If he had not been stopped by someone, he would have rushed out at that moment.

The moment Yu Jinzhi jumped down, she felt that everything around her seemed to slow down. She looked at Xie Yuxiu coldly, and a strange sense of pleasure arose in her heart. Did she win this time? Was this revenge?

But other than that, she just felt relieved, because all this sin could finally end today. The unprecedented sense of relief made her mouth unconsciously raise a sincere smile.

Even if the wind blew, she didn't feel cold. The wind blew away her clothes, and the rain tied up her hair. At this moment, she only hoped that the wind could take her to the most gentle place, where there was a father and a mother...

The fall was silent but deafening. She lay quietly on the ground with a pool of blood behind her. She tilted her head and looked at Xie Yuxiu who was running towards her without any image, and raised the corner of her lips slightly.
