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

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything after hearing her words, but he felt a little pain in his heart.

He didn't know why it turned out like this. At first, he was attracted by her lively appearance before. At that time, Yu Jinzhi smiled brightly and everyone liked her.

She was like the clouds in the clear sky, always making people feel out of reach, yet wanting to pluck them. Later, I finally managed to reach this cloud, but it was no longer as bright as before, but became gloomy, like the dark clouds before a thunderstorm.

It was obviously because of me that he became like this, and this was what I wanted. But... it was different. Why did I like that at the beginning, but in the end, after all my efforts, I ended up with another one?

This was different from what he had originally thought, so what went wrong?

"It's all bandaged." Yu Jinzhi tied the bandage into a beautiful knot.

Xie Yuxiu looked at her bandaged hand. In his previous life, he had asked her to do various things. Even if she was unwilling, he had plenty of ways to make her willing.

but now……

"In the future, you can have things you don't want to do, or you can be like before without being so restrained about everything." Xie Yuxiu's voice was a little hoarse, but he still said this.

When Yu Jinzhi heard this, she paused for a moment, then raised her head and slowly looked at Xie Yuxiu: "Is there anything I don't want to do?"

Xie Yuxiu suddenly didn't want to answer, or perhaps he didn't dare to answer.

"There are some things I can not force you to do..." This was all Xie Yuxiu said in the end.

"Then if I say I don't want to stay in the palace, you won't force me, right?" As Yu Jinzhi spoke, there was suddenly a hint of crying in her voice.

Sure enough, sometimes when your attitude softens, all the grievances in your heart come flooding back.

"Yu Jinzhi, at this point, are you still thinking about leaving?" Xie Yuxiu couldn't bear to hear this.

"I have a home... I have a father at home. The palace is not my home. If I want to go home, will you agree?" Yu Jinzhi asked, but this trembling voice always makes people feel distressed.

Xie Yuxiu had a complicated expression: "No, I won't let you leave my side. In a few days, your father will go to the border, and you can only stay in the palace obediently. Zhizhi, you don't want me to lock you up again, right?"

Yu Jinzhi felt cold in her heart. This was his original appearance. Although his tone of voice was not as cold now, the essence of his words had not changed.

She dared to guarantee that if she still wanted to leave, he would still choose to trap her in the same way as before.

Yu Jinzhi recalled the memory in the hint again. She really didn't want to experience it again...

Xie Yuxiu saw the fear in her eyes. For some reason, he chose to say one more sentence: "I will never put you in a place like that again. But this does not mean that you can think about leaving me. If you still keep thinking about how to escape, you will never have the chance to step out of the palace again."

"I think you don't want to wear shackles for the rest of your life and be locked up in Jiayu Palace for the rest of your life, right?" Although Xie Yuxiu's tone was much gentler, the threat in it was still there.

The moment Yu Jinzhi lowered her head, tears fell like a pearl falling to the ground and breaking.

"Yes, I understand..." Her tone was also full of disappointment and loneliness.

Xie Yuxiu's heart seemed to be tugged at, but he still didn't give in. The word "leave" was too heavy, and he wouldn't agree to it. He had tasted enough of living alone in his last life, and he wouldn't let this woman leave him alone in this life.

This is...some words are only temporary, but some things are forever. Xie Yuxiu might not have thought that one day in the future, when she wanted to leave him, he would not even have the courage to stop her.

Another reason for wanting to keep something is because of the fear of losing it. But it is precisely because of the fear of losing it again that we really cannot keep it...

Maybe this is a dead cycle between the two? No matter how hard they try, they can't get out of it. They are trapped in a dead end, and there is no solution. I don't know if anyone can really break through this situation.

Xie Yuxiu did not stay in Jiayu Palace for long, perhaps because of what he had just said. He also felt confused, so after the two of them had their meal, he left directly.

Yu Jinzhi, who was left alone, looked at the ointment and bandages that she had not had time to put away, and remembered what Xie Yuxiu had just said and his eyes.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, why did she always feel that she saw a trace of pity in Xie Yuxiu's eyes just now? Or was it some other emotion?

She looked at the dressing mirror not far away again, and her makeup was still there. He couldn't do such delicate work, so her face was really horrible.

But Yu Jinzhi felt that ripples seemed to be appearing in the stagnant pool. Some things were slowly getting out of control, out of Xie Yuxiu's control...

"Princess, let me re-dress you." Qingyu walked over.

Yu Jinzhi came back to her senses from her thoughts. She did not answer the question directly, but asked: "Qingyu, what would it be like to fall in love with someone?"

Qingyu was also stunned when she heard this. Why did the princess ask such a question?

"Princess, how would I know all this? Didn't you like the Crown Prince before? What did it feel like when you liked the Crown Prince?" Qingyu asked.

Prince brother? Yu Jinzhi couldn't tell what it felt like. Like him? She didn't even know if liking someone felt like that. As for the prince, she just wanted him to live well...

When the Crown Prince rescued her, she felt like her heart skipped a beat when she looked at the blurry figure before she passed out.

So later on she liked to stick to the Crown Prince. When she knew she could marry the Crown Prince, she was happy because this way she could always be with him just like she was with her father.

Is this what love is? Maybe?

What about Xie Yuxiu? What would he be like if he really fell in love with someone? Would he treat the person he liked the same way he treats me now? Or, could he be gentle too?

What would happen if Xie Yuxiu fell in love with me one day? Would he be reluctant to let her go? Would he compromise with me?

Yu Jinzhi suddenly wanted to give it a try...
