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

Wang Yi didn't know why His Majesty came back suddenly. He just thought that His Majesty would rest in Jiayu Palace again today.

"Your Majesty, the princess was frightened today. I'm afraid she will ask to see you again after waking up." Wang Yi also said.

"If I don't leave, she really won't be able to sleep." Xie Yuxiu returned to his seat and raised his head tiredly.

Wang Yi was confused. Your Majesty, what do you mean? Didn't Princess Jiayu cry and beg for your Majesty to leave today?

Xie Yuxiu thought back to Yu Jinzhi in Jiayu Palace just now. How could she be asleep? She was clearly tossing and turning and was wide awake.

Normally, she would curl up involuntarily when she fell asleep, as if that was the only way she could feel a little safe. But just now, she seemed to be frozen in place after falling asleep, not wanting to move at all.

Even his breathing was more controlled than usual. Although it was long and even, the breathing sound was heavier than usual.

If this isn't pretending to sleep, what is this? If Xie Yuxiu can't even see through such a trick, shouldn't he give up his position?

She said she wanted me to stay, but her body's reaction was honest. She pretended to be asleep, and even when I left, she still didn't try to persuade me to stay. Did she really want me to stay?

"Smart as a whim..." Xie Yuxiu couldn't help but say these few words.

Wang Yi didn't understand, but it was not his place to ask, so he just stood there quietly without saying a word.

Xie Yuxiu was very upset now. What on earth did she want to do? Why did she pretend to keep herself and depend on herself?

But even though he knew that Yu Jinzhi might have deceived him, he was still unwilling to expose it. Even Xie Yuxiu himself didn't know what he was afraid of, or what he was looking forward to.

That night, he did not go to Jiayu Palace again.

But Yu Jinzhi still slept uneasily. She dreamed of the bloody yard and the scene she saw today.

She woke up from her dream several times, and the side of her back was still aching. She tried hard to control her emotions, not wanting to alarm others, and even more so, not wanting to alarm those who had been secretly monitoring her.

She closed her eyes again and slowly curled up. The candlelight in the inner hall flickered slightly, and she became lost in thought as she watched.

In a trance, Yu Jinzhi seemed to think of the time when she was kidnapped...

She was still young at that time, and she was in the imperial garden with several palace maids, thinking of picking flowers to make flower cakes.

But later, a young eunuch came from nowhere and said that the Queen wanted to see him, so he said he would take him to Fengyi Palace, and also made the excuse that he only looked at the maids around him.

Later, when they reached a deserted place, she said that this was not the way to the Queen's palace. As a result, the eunuch covered his mouth and nose and completely lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was in a dark woodshed. A cloth was stuffed in her mouth, which made her mouth hurt. She was also tied up with a very thick rope, and she couldn't move at all.

She vaguely heard someone at the door say that they wanted to use her to threaten their father, but before she could hear clearly, there was other noise outside.

It seems like he is looking for his own person...

Soon, the young eunuch pushed the door open and came in anxiously. Seeing me wake up, he took me and prepared to escape. I struggled hard, but he slapped me twice.

She was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and her whole face was red and swollen. She kept sobbing, so the eunuch covered herself with a big bucket, which was really stuffy inside...

She didn't know how long she had been in the barrel, she just felt that her consciousness was getting less and less clear. Later, she heard the sound of fighting outside. Was someone coming to save her?

After a while, the bucket covering her was removed. She tried hard to open her eyes to see who saved her, but in the end she only saw him wearing black clothes with his face covered.

The man seemed to be coming over to hug her, and when he squatted down, she saw a token in the black-clothed man's hand. It belonged to the prince, and she had seen it before and recognized it.

It was the prince who saved me...

Before she lost consciousness, she heard someone outside calling out "Your Highness the Crown Prince". It turned out to be the Crown Prince...

But how could she repay him? She suddenly remembered the words that the Queen had said to her before: "Your prince brother will protect you in the future. When you grow up, you can marry him, okay?"

The prince brother will protect me, so she said in a daze: "Brother, Zhizhi will marry you when she grows up, okay?"

She fainted completely, and when she regained consciousness, she found herself in the Queen's bedroom.

The Queen Mother and the Crown Prince were both guarding her. Later, she asked how she came back, and they both said that it was the Crown Prince who carried her back.

Since then, she has been particularly fond of sticking to the Crown Prince and has always been thinking about marrying him.

Thinking of this, Yu Jinzhi slowly fell asleep. This time, she finally slept soundly...

She felt as if she had returned to the day when she was kidnapped in the palace. She heard that a lot of things seemed to have happened that day.

In addition to being kidnapped, assassins also sneaked into the East Palace. Although there were no casualties, the Prince's study seemed to have been turned over, so the entire palace was on alert during that period.

She didn't know what happened afterwards, because no one would tell a child about such things. She only knew that not long after, the prince was suddenly reprimanded by the emperor, and then was confined to his house, and she was not even allowed to visit him.

After a while, the Queen suddenly found her and asked her if she was willing to marry the Crown Prince and become his princess. At that time, she did not understand what it meant to get married.

But the Queen had told her before that the Crown Prince would protect her, and he really did, so she agreed. The Queen was very happy when she heard that she agreed, and not long after, the Emperor's decree to grant the marriage was passed down.

She became the future crown princess that everyone envied, and the queen and the crown prince would coax her every day. The people around her seemed very happy, except... the unpopular prince Xie Yuxiu who always had a cold face.

Once in the palace, she met Xie Yuxiu, and she had originally wanted to say hello to him because they had spent a brief period of time together.

But just as I stepped forward, he asked me in a cold tone: "Do you really want to be the Crown Princess?"
