After returning to Jiayu Palace, Yu Jinzhi still looked frightened. On the way back with Xie Yuxiu, she didn't say a word, and she looked as if she was frightened.

Xie Yuxiu took her back to the inner hall. Yu Jinzhi shrank back, not daring to look him in the eye. He was always so moody... If he didn't change this, she was afraid that he would scare her to death in the future.

and so……

"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

As soon as she woke up this morning, she went straight to the city gate. Naturally, she hadn't eaten anything yet.

"Let's eat first." Xie Yuxiu said.

"Someone come here." Xie Yuxiu shouted directly outside.

But just as he finished shouting, Yu Jinzhi put her hand on her arm. Xie Yuxiu turned his head and saw Yu Jinzhi kneeling in front of him.

Xie Yuxiu was slightly stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Yu Jinzhi took the initiative to say, "I don't want to eat..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuxiu's brows were already furrowed.

"What are you doing?" His tone was unclear.

This time, Yu Jinzhi did not avoid his gaze, but took the initiative to meet him. Her red eyes kept staring at Xie Yuxiu: "I accept the punishment..."

What punishment? Xie Yuxiu obviously didn't know why she did this.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yuxiu asked following her words.

"Today on the city wall, I displeased His Majesty and I deserve to be punished." Yu Jinzhi found an excuse.

Xie Yuxiu frowned: "Then tell me, how did you make me unhappy?" He did this on purpose.

There was confusion in Yu Jinzhi's eyes, but more of it was caution and fear, as if she was afraid that she had given the wrong answer.

"I...what I said today displeased His Majesty." Yu Jinzhi's eyes were evasive and uncertain when she said this.

Xie Yuxiu also understood that she didn't know where she was wrong. No, in fact, she didn't do anything wrong today, nor did she say anything wrong.

The reason why she acted like this was probably because she was afraid of what she did on the city wall today? So she thought she was angry because of something she did?

Xie Yuxiu sighed and reached out his hand to pull her up. But Yu Jinzhi looked at the hand in front of her and didn't dare to move.

This time, Xie Yuxiu didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he squatted down in front of her, his eyes level with hers.

"You didn't do anything wrong today, so you don't have to be so careful. Yu Jinzhi, I'm telling you, you can be like before and stop being so timid." Xie Yuxiu said.

But when he said this, Xie Yuxiu probably forgot that his goal was to make Yu Jinzhi fear him all the time, because only fear can make her obey. Now he has changed his mind?

Yu Jinzhi slowly raised her head after hearing this and looked at him again, but there was still a hint of uncertainty in her eyes: "I don't want to make you angry... but I don't know what to do, and I don't know if I will make you unhappy because of my momentary negligence."

"I'm afraid, afraid that you will be unhappy. Today I thought you were going to push me down from the building, I thought you were going to take my life... But I really don't know what I did, can you tell me? If you tell me, I won't do it again." As Yu Jinzhi spoke, she started to cry again, looking humble and pitiful.

Xie Yuxiu had mixed emotions. She didn't do anything. She just thought about the anger and fear she felt when she resolutely jumped off the city wall in her previous life.

"Get up." Xie Yuxiu softened his tone.

But even if he personally reached out to help her, Yu Jinzhi still knelt on the ground and remained unmoved.

"I dare not... Can you tell me directly in the future and tell me what I did wrong? I'm afraid of the way you are today. I'm afraid that you will suddenly get angry and punish me suddenly." Yu Jinzhi continued.

It seems that she was really scared today, otherwise how could she not even dare to get up?

Xie Yuxiu felt a little bitter: "I won't get angry easily in the future. If I get angry, I will tell you the reason, okay?" Is this considered a compromise?

Yu Jinzhi seemed unable to believe it: "Really?" There was an obvious cautious tentativeness in her tone.

Xie Yuxiu nodded: "Yes, really." He also answered the question seriously.

After hearing this, Yu Jinzhi seemed to be finally relieved, and then she threw herself into Xie Yuxiu's arms and burst into tears.

Xie Yuxiu was caught off guard by this sudden action and he subconsciously hugged the person who rushed over, but his body was stiff.

Because Yu Jinzhi had never thrown herself into his arms like this before. He felt a little sorry for Yu Jinzhi crying in his arms.

He slowly embraced her with his stiff hands, and then gently helped her smooth her back: "It's okay..."

"Don't be angry, I don't want to make you angry. I'm scared, I'm very scared..." Yu Jinzhi hugged the person tightly, like a frightened child.

Xie Yuxiu's heart also twitched because of her crying. He didn't expect that something he did today would cause such a big reaction from her.

At first, I just wanted to scare her so that she wouldn't dare to get close to the tower. But I didn't expect it to turn out like this. She seems to be really afraid of getting angry recently.

But before, she was afraid that I would be angry and punish her, but now she is more afraid that I would abandon her after I get angry.

Xie Yuxiu picked her up from the ground. Yu Jinzhi cried for a long time, and even after she stopped, she was still sobbing in his arms.

"Can I have breakfast now?" Xie Yuxiu asked as he reached out to wipe the tears from Yu Jinzhi's face.

Yu Jinzhi nodded, and Xie Yuxiu's hard heart seemed to soften when he saw her like this. She really was like a child who depended on him wholeheartedly.

The palace servants quickly brought up breakfast, but Yu Jinzhi kept holding onto Xie Yuxiu's arm and refused to let go.

"I have already had breakfast, please eat by yourself." Xie Yuxiu said.

"I want you to feed me..." Yu Jinzhi had just cried, so her voice was a little choked.

Xie Yuxiu was also a little surprised when he heard her words: "You want me to feed you?"

Yu Jinzhi seemed to be frightened again when she heard this question, so she loosened Xie Yuxiu's arm a little: "Sorry... I'll eat it myself now."

As she said this, she was about to get it herself, but Xie Yuxiu got there first and brought it to her.

"Just feed me, just sit still." If you listen carefully, you can seem to hear the helplessness hidden in Xie Yuxiu's tone.

But... he seemed happy.
