When she heard this question, she was actually quite surprised. Why did Xie Yuxiu ask herself this question out of the blue?

But she still replied: "What's wrong with being a crown princess? The queen told me that if I become a crown princess, I will become the most noble person in the future, and then I can protect my father and the crown prince."

Yu Jinzhi remembered that when Xie Yuxiu heard your answer, he stretched out his hand and grabbed your neck: "You don't feel the vanity of acting at all! So what you said to me before doesn't count, right?"

What did she say before? She said too much. What was it that caused such a big reaction? If she really said something wrong, then she should apologize.

and so……

"If anything I said makes you unhappy, you don't have to take it to heart. I'll just apologize to you." Yu Jinzhi said.

Haha... The sarcasm on Xie Yuxiu's face became more and more intense.

"You're hurting me, let go!" Yu Jinzhi felt the hand on her neck getting tighter and tighter, and she began to struggle.

The palace maid behind him was also startled and hurried over to stop him. She remembered that Xie Yuxiu was punished that time. Because he hurt herself, the queen made him kneel for a day and had him whipped.

She was also very angry at the time, because Xie Yuxiu had pinched her so hard that she couldn't breathe and her neck was bruised, so she didn't beg for mercy. Since then, Xie Yuxiu looked at her with a cold face every time, probably because he hated her and made her suffer the punishment...

At that time, the imperial edict of the late emperor said that she would get married after she reached the age of 15. She finally waited for the day of her 15-year-old age, and the prince and the queen said that they would definitely come to attend her 15-year-old age ceremony.

But she didn't see the prince and the queen until the end of the ceremony. Later, when it was dark, she learned that something big had happened in the palace. The prince was found to be plotting to usurp the throne and had been detained for treason.

The Queen Mother was imprisoned in Fengyi Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

How could this be possible? It was absolutely impossible for the prince to rebel. There must be some misunderstanding. She begged her father to meet the prince and help him find out the truth.

But the incident happened suddenly, and within two days, the prince had already been convicted. She was about to enter the palace, but when she arrived at the palace gate, she heard the news that the queen had passed away.

Daddy said that the Queen chose to hang herself in order to protect the Crown Prince. It was also because of this that the Crown Prince was demoted to a commoner and the late Emperor locked him up in the Eastern Palace and did not allow him to leave.

In the following month, the late emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and finally became bedridden. However, Xie Yuxiu instantly seized power in the court in these few short months and suppressed the court officials with thunderous force.

After the death of the previous emperor, Xie Yuxiu, who was the least likely to ascend the throne, became the new emperor. She had always known that Xie Yuxiu seemed to hate her, so she had always had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, he had just ascended the throne when he dismissed his father from military power on various charges and sent him far away from the capital. He brought him into the palace for no reason and kept him in Jiayu Palace.

After that, he forced himself to obey his brother, the Crown Prince, every day because he cared about him, so he tortured him in various ways.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the prince could no longer live in the East Palace, so he was directly imprisoned. He had thought of various ways to escape, but failed every time.

The result of failure... is punishment. He will force himself without mercy, threaten the people around him, and use all kinds of means to torture the prince...

At first everyone thought Xie Yuxiu brought her into the palace because he loved her, but later everyone discovered that he didn't seem to have any feelings for her and was torturing her instead.

This also led to a change in the attitude of everyone in the palace towards her. She was a person that almost everyone in the harem could step on, especially Concubine Jia.

She resisted at first, but slowly, she started to get scared. It really hurt when she was beaten, it was really painful when she was forced to kneel, and it was really uncomfortable when she was starved...

So she began to become obedient, just like a puppet. To put it bluntly, she was tamed like a pet, right? She began to sit in Jiayu Palace all night in a daze, not going anywhere...

In the dream, Yu Jinzhi seemed to review the past ten years. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.

Qingyu came in with a basin of hot water: "Princess, are you awake? The general will leave for the border today, so please don't delay us."

When Yu Jinzhi heard this, she remembered that Xie Yuxiu had said that he would take her to see his father off today. She didn't dare to waste time, but because she stood up too hastily, she accidentally hit the wound on her back.

"Princess, please slow down." Qingyu quickly reached out to help.

"Let me help you wash and dress." Qingyu said.

Wang Yi just came to deliver a message, saying that he would take Yu Jinzhi directly to the city gate in a while.

When Yu Jinzhi arrived at the city gate, Xie Yuxiu had been waiting on the tower for a long time. She looked at Xie Yuxiu with his back to her, and her heart was lifted again. In front of him, Yu Jinzhi did not dare to relax at all.

She slowly took two steps forward: "Your Majesty..." Yu Jinzhi changed the sentence softly.

Xie Yuxiu did not turn around, but just looked at the army below.

"Let's take a look." Xie Yuxiu said.

Yu Jinzhi then looked downstairs and saw Yu Sheng in the crowd. It was because of this glance that her eyes became red again.

Yu Sheng seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and looked at Yu Jinzhi on the city wall. The father and daughter looked at each other from a distance, and everything was self-evident.

Zhizhi, when daddy comes back this time, I will take you home and wait for daddy...

"Are you afraid of heights?" Xie Yuxiu suddenly interrupted.

When Yu Jinzhi heard this question, she was unable to react. Why would he suddenly ask herself this question?

"Afraid..." Yu Jinzhi replied.

"Then do you think those people who jumped from the city wall in the past would be scared?" Xie Yuxiu asked again.

Is he thinking of the scene where Yu Jinzhi jumped off the city wall in his previous life?

"I don't know." Although Yu Jinzhi didn't know why she asked herself these questions, she still answered obediently.

After hearing this answer, Xie Yuxiu turned to look at Yu Jinzhi, with an unclear look in his eyes.

"I don't know?" Xie Yuxiu was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
