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

She was only five years old that year. For the first time, she saw Xie Yuxiu kneeling in the rain in front of the Queen's door. He was as humble as a dog. The eunuch behind him whipped his back with a whip. Blood mixed with rain water flowed to her feet and stained her skirt.

Xie Yuxiu, if there is an afterlife, I will never meet you again, let alone save you! I don't want to be targeted by you, imprisoned and tortured in every way. If possible, I want to be a free man...

Her vision gradually blurred, raindrops fell on her body, blood stained her clothes, and it seemed as if everything had returned to the beginning.

The last voice she heard was Xie Yuxiu calling her name...

"Yu Jinzhi!" Xie Yuxiu knelt beside her, reaching out to pick her up but not daring to touch her.

"Yu Jinzhi..." His voice trembled so much that even his tone became much gentler.

Tears blurred his vision, his eyes became moist, and the sourness at the tip of his nose made him experience for the first time what true helplessness was.

"Yu Jinzhi... wake up, I will take you to find your father. Open your eyes, I will not hold it against you for this matter, nor will I punish you, just pretend nothing happened, get up..." At this moment, he was like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing the rain soaking her body, he actually stretched out his hand in a panic to try to shield her, but unfortunately he couldn't. The gap between his palms was like the crack between them, which could never be filled.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and Xie Yuxiu held Yu Jinzhi in his arms. The palace maid behind him held an umbrella and called "Your Majesty", but he remained indifferent. He just stroked her cheek with his hand and held her tightly against his chest.

Xie Yuxiu's face was against her forehead, feeling her body slowly getting colder, his eyes seemed to be filled with bloodshot. He knelt there for a long time, until an old man with silver hair appeared not far away.

"Zhizhi..." The old man squeezed out these two words from his throat with difficulty. Every step he took was as if he was filled with lead. Who else could this person be but Yu Sheng?

Xie Yuxiu ignored the person who came. Yu Sheng walked up to him and half-knelt on the ground. He wanted to touch his daughter's face with trembling hands, but stopped when he saw that his hands were full of dirt.

He looked around in panic, then tore off his clothes and was about to wipe his hands. He pushed Xie Yuxiu away: "Zhizhi, don't be afraid. Daddy will take you home." His tone was firm and his tears flowed without restraint.

Xie Yuxiu sat slumped aside. The moment he saw Yu Sheng pick up Yu Jinzhi, he opened his mouth and wanted to stop him but didn't know what to say.

Yu Sheng held up his only daughter. He held her like this when she was born to welcome the world. Now he also wanted to hold his daughter like this and take her home...

But before he could take two steps, he felt his legs go weak. How could he hold on now? But... fatherly love is like a mountain. If his mountain falls, who can protect his daughter?

A general who had been in the military for half his life couldn't even take his daughter with him now? He propped himself up and stood up, as if he had used up all his strength. He knelt down every two steps until his knees were all worn out...

"Your Majesty," the palace maid held an umbrella and looked at his Majesty with a worried look on his face.

"How dare she? She is most afraid of heights and pain..." Xie Yuxiu talked to himself.

"I didn't kill her father, why doesn't she believe me?"

"She..." Xie Yuxiu's voice was choked with sobs, and it was hard to tell whether the water on his face was tears or rain.

The next moment, Xie Yuxiu felt his blood rushing up, and his chest ached. Then he vomited blood, which scared the palace servants who were serving him.

"Your Majesty! Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly!" The palace people were in chaos, only Xie Yuxiu's eyes gradually blurred.

He had a dream, a very long dream.

In his dream, he saw the five-year-old girl for the first time. She had two buns on her head and wore a delicate little skirt. She looked so cute.

"Why is he kneeling here? Why are you hitting him? It will hurt him."

"Brother, are you cold? Zhizhi has some food here, I'll give it to you. Zhizhi will give you new clothes later so you won't be cold anymore!"

She looks so beautiful when she smiles, like a little sun.

later……

The legendary Princess Jiayu disappeared in the palace, and the emperor ordered the palace to be sealed off. When he heard the news, his heart tightened. Finally, he found the little girl who was covered in wounds and unconscious.

He covered his face, and the little girl looked at him and said, "Brother, Zhizhi will marry you when she grows up, okay?"

His heart sank, he didn't answer, and turned away.

after that……

The emperor issued an edict to arrange a marriage between her and the prince. She said: "Zhizhi likes the prince and wants to be his princess in the future."

How could she marry the prince? She had clearly said she wanted to marry him, but he had been possessed since then...

He slowly opened his eyes, and the palace servant beside him breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you are finally awake!"

"Where is Yu Jinzhi?" he asked.

The palace maid's expression froze. The result was obvious. It was not a dream after all...

But just when everyone thought that His Majesty would be devastated by Yu Jinzhi's departure, they found that their Majesty finally returned to normal after half a month, but his behavior was even more cruel than they expected.

Finally, in the 44th year of Shunde, Xie Yuxiu, the King of Jing, passed away. It was said in later generations that he was buried with the Queen when he died, but... the whole country knew that Emperor Shunde never had a Queen in his life.

Rumor has it that this queen had a distinguished background and had been engaged to him when she was young. They were in love with each other, but she was short-lived.

Others said that the empress was forced to marry by Emperor Shunde, and that she could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself in despair.

Before his death, Xie Yuxiu seemed to see her again. She stood on the city wall and said to herself: "I really regret meeting you on that rainy day... Xie Yuxiu, I curse you. I curse you to lose everything you cherish forever in this life, and live in pain and regret for all eternity."

Yu Jinzhi, your curse has worked...

Xie Yuxiu closed his eyes. It was a pity, Yu Jinzhi, you will never get rid of me! If there is an afterlife, I will keep you by my side. For eternity, you can only be mine...

Huangquan Road was the most deserted when one was alone, but Xie Yuxiu seemed to see her again. Was she walking too slowly? Or was he impatient to see her?

The surroundings were all white, and he called out her name: "Yu Jinzhi..."

Yu Jinzhi turned around, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around and was about to run away.

Xie Yuxiu began to panic. He had finally seen her again, how could he let her go?

"Yu Jinzhi!" He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Jinzhi's wrist, but the moment Yu Jinzhi turned around, the light around her became particularly dazzling.

He looked away, and when he opened his eyes again, the surrounding scenery became familiar.

Is this... Zichen Palace?

"Your Majesty is awake?" The palace maid's voice came. What happened? Where is Yu Jinzhi? He saw his hand and frowned slightly. This hand...

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch's panicked voice suddenly came from outside.

"Your Majesty! Princess Jiayu is missing!" said the eunuch.

Princess Jiayu? Why did this scene look so familiar? He lifted the bed curtain and looked at the eunuch who was serving him. This was clearly the same scene from more than forty years ago...

An unrealistic thought suddenly popped up in his mind. He didn't die? Did he go back to the past? Was he reborn?
