Xie Yuxiu took a deep breath and finally compromised.

"Lock all of them into the cold palace, and continue the punishment for those who haven't lost weight completely." Xie Yuxiu said.

After saying this, he went straight into the inner room with the girl still inside. Yu Jinzhi had been carefully pulling his sleeves throughout the whole process, and it didn't seem like she was pulling very hard, but in fact, she was pulling it really tightly, as if she was afraid of being abandoned.

Xie Yuxiu put the person back on the bed. He saw that she was obviously scared, but still carefully pulling her sleeves, as if she was worried that she would leave. His heart suddenly softened, but also felt a little painful.

"I didn't say I wanted to leave, but if you just keep pulling me, I can't do anything." Xie Yuxiu's tone was actually filled with helplessness for once?

After hearing this, Yu Jinzhi seemed a little unconvinced. She looked at Xie Yuxiu in front of her uncertainly, but Xie Yuxiu held her hand and said, "I'm not leaving."

Yu Jinzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and took her hand back. But now it seemed impossible to take it back, because Xie Yuxiu was holding her wrist and refused to let go.

"From today on, if you encounter such a situation again, you can solve it in your own way as before. You don't have to swallow your anger in this matter. You can fight back against whatever they say and scold you as before. Don't be stupid and get bullied for no reason without knowing how to fight back. Aren't you too easy to bully?" Xie Yuxiu softened his tone and talked to her about some big principles.

However, when Yu Jinzhi heard this, her expression darkened and she seemed unhappy.

"Daddy said that I should be more sensible in the palace and not be as willful as before..." she said.

Xie Yuxiu frowned when he heard this: "Just forget what he said. It can be the same now as it was before. I said it."

Yu Jinzhi slowly raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yuxiu: "You said before that the palace is not a place to do whatever you want. If I don't obey you again, you will have many ways to make me obey."

Xie Yuxiu: "…" Have you ever said this? Well, maybe I have, and it seems I have said this more than once.

He suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He had said these words before when he was angry, so he was only thinking about how to tame this woman who gave him a headache.

But now seeing that she had really become what he had described at the beginning, he felt very uncomfortable.

"I don't want to be locked up anymore. I don't want to go to that place before, and I don't want to be alone. I will be good and obedient, and I will try not to make you angry again. Please don't throw me into a place like that again, okay?" Yu Jinzhi started crying.

The strong cry made Xie Yuxiu's heart tremble inexplicably. Was the previous incident really such a deep shadow? Why did she still feel afraid now?

She was like a poor little girl living in fear, trembling with fear every moment. She was afraid that one of her movements or words would upset Xie Yuxiu, so she didn't even dare to breathe deeply.

Was what he did too cruel? Was it really too cruel to use these methods on Yu Jinzhi?

"Are you afraid of being locked up?" Xie Yuxiu's tone softened again.

Yu Jinzhi nodded hurriedly, fearing that she would be slow to respond.

"Then I won't let you go to that kind of place anymore." Xie Yuxiu said.

"I don't want to use these methods on you. As long as you don't think about how to leave me in the future, I will never lock you up again." Xie Yuxiu's premise was that you can't leave.

But she still has to leave in the end...

Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to reveal her thoughts, and could only pretend to be terrified and shook her head: "No... I won't run away secretly..."

Xie Yuxiu reached out and touched her head: "This kind of thing will not happen again. No one in the palace will dare to embarrass you again. If you lack anything, you can ask someone for it. You can also walk around freely wherever you want in the palace. If someone makes you uncomfortable, you can solve it yourself or tell me." His self-proclaimed identity seemed to have changed completely.

Yu Jinzhi just had red eyes. Xie Yuxiu didn't know how much he took his words to heart, but considering that she had suffered such a great injustice today, he let her go.

"There is an injury on your back. Don't touch the wound when you rest. I have also consulted the imperial physician about the injury on your face. The swelling will go down soon." Xie Yuxiu continued.

Yu Jinzhi heard his tone and thought he wanted to leave, so she held his hand again: "Please don't leave..."

"Do you really want me to stay?" Xie Yuxiu looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression.

Yu Jinzhi nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then I won't leave. Let's go to sleep." Xie Yuxiu said as he helped the person lie down. Yu Jinzhi lay on her side, and he stayed by her side, coaxing her to sleep like a child.

The room fell into silence. Yu Jinzhi closed her eyes and her breathing was disordered at first, as if she couldn't sleep well. But after a quarter of an hour, her breathing finally became steady and long, and she must have fallen asleep.

Xie Yuxiu looked at Yu Jinzhi right under his nose, and her hands grasping his robe. It was hard to tell what emotion was in her eyes.

It was rare for the two of them to have such moments together. No, there should have never been such a thing before, right? After all, Yu Jinzhi had never done such a thing before.

Yu Jinzhi was sleeping very straight, and Xie Yuxiu pulled his robe out of his hands. He then looked at Yu Jinzhi twice before starting to walk out.

When Xie Yuxiu's figure disappeared in the inner hall, Yu Jinzhi slowly opened her eyes. How could she look like someone who had just woken up? Yu Jinzhi couldn't imagine how she had dared to pretend to be asleep in front of him just now. Breathing couldn't lie, so she spent a quarter of an hour adjusting her mentality and breathing.

Yu Jinzhi looked in the direction Xie Yuxiu left. Did she go in the wrong direction before? She shouldn't be so stubborn to someone like Xie Yuxiu. If she had done this earlier, wouldn't she have saved a lot of time?

She closed her eyes again, forcing herself not to think about it any more. This battle might be shorter and easier than she thought...

But was everything really as expected? Unable to be seen by Yu Jinzhi, Xie Yuxiu had already returned to Zichen Palace.
