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

Xie Yuxiu nodded, and Wang Yi quickly sent someone to collect the things. But just as the palace servants were picking up the residue, Xie Yuxiu suddenly saw that there seemed to be something else on it...

"Wait a minute!" Xie Yuxiu shouted.

The palace maids knelt on the ground and dared not move.

"Bring the things here." Xie Yuxiu said again.

Although Wang Yi was puzzled, he still stepped forward and handed over the fragments in the palace servant's hand.

After Xie Yuxiu took the thing, he began to flip through it carefully, and then found a not very obvious word on one of the deerskin pieces - Xiu.

The word is embroidered very badly. You can just barely make out the shape of the word. It is crooked and there are many needle holes around it. It looks like the stitches have been removed and re-embroidered several times.

Xie Yuxiu's heart choked. Xiu? Why was it this word... If the thing was to be given to Xie Zhao, why would Yu Jinzhi embroider such a word on it?

As soon as he thought of a possibility, Xie Yuxiu's heart began to ache uncontrollably. Did he misunderstand something? He thought of Yu Jinzhi's red face and aggrieved look when she looked at him and said that it was not for Xie Zhao.

He clenched his hand holding the kneepad a little bit, so did he really wrong Yu Jinzhi just now? Why didn't she tell him? Why didn't she just say that it was embroidered for her?

"Your Majesty..." Wang Yi was standing nearby, so he could see the words clearly.

He was also filled with emotion. What kind of thing was this? How could it be like this? Fortunately, His Majesty did not do anything more extreme just now, otherwise it would be really irreparable.

"There's no need to collect these things. Have someone take them down and put them away." Xie Yuxiu's voice was a little hoarse. He suddenly didn't know how to face Yu Jinzhi.

"Yes" Wang Yi said helplessly.

Xie Yuxiu sat there for a long time until Qingyu and others left.

"Wait a minute," Xie Yuxiu called her.

Qingyu stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"She has been doing this all night? Why did she suddenly want to do these things?" Xie Yuxiu began to ask.

Qingyu lowered her head and answered honestly: "Your Majesty, I don't know why the princess suddenly did this."

"I only know that the princess asked where His Majesty was at the beginning. After knowing that His Majesty was still in the Palace of Diligent Administration, the princess suddenly asked the servants to prepare needlework and thread, and also asked someone to go to the storehouse to select the material for the knee pads."

"The princess is not good at making these things, let alone needlework, so she asked me to teach her. It took the princess a long time to learn before she could barely get the hang of it. I wanted to help, but the princess wouldn't let me. She said that she had to do it herself to show her sincerity." Qingyu recounted what happened tonight.

When Xie Yuxiu heard these words, his heart became even more complicated. Did she really do this for him?

"Is she asleep?" Xie Yuxiu asked again.

"The princess was in a low mood while taking a bath just now, so she went straight back to the bedroom to rest, and even refused to let me, a maid, accompany her." Qingyu said again.

Feeling depressed? Maybe she feels wronged? I wronged her today...

Xie Yuxiu raised his hand: "Step back."

"Yes." Qingyu didn't dare to delay and quickly left after speaking.

Wang Yi looked at his Majesty and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"All of you, please leave." Xie Yuxiu ordered again.

"Yes." Wang Yi led all the people in the palace to leave, leaving Xie Yuxiu alone sitting in the room for a long time.

For some reason, after learning the truth, he actually felt a little cowardly. Xie Yuxiu didn't know how to face Yu Jinzhi now.

After a long while, he finally got up and went to the inner hall. Because Yu Jinzhi was afraid of the dark, there was always a light on in the room, and he walked in lightly.

The gauze curtain in front of the bed fell down, covering Yu Jinzhi's body, leaving only a hazy shadow.

Xie Yuxiu walked forward step by step, and finally stopped in front of the bed. He stared at the figure on the bed, and did not move for a while.

After a long while, he finally reached out and lifted the bed curtains one by one. There were four layers in total, as if there were four layers of torment.

Xie Yuxiu fixed the bed curtain to one side, and Yu Jinzhi had her back to him. He knew that Yu Jinzhi was not asleep at all, but she knew he was coming but didn't react at all. Was she angry with him? Or was she trying to avoid him on purpose?

Xie Yuxiu was not angry, but felt a little regretful. He sat down beside Yu Jinzhi's bed. Yu Jinzhi's breathing was very disordered. Was she nervous and scared?

He was sitting there, and he even reached out his hand to help Yu Jinzhi tidy up her hair. But as soon as he touched her, Yu Jinzhi trembled.

Xie Yuxiu's hand paused slightly. She was still so afraid of herself...

"Falling asleep?" This time, Xie Yuxiu's voice was surprisingly gentle.

Yu Jinzhi did not agree. It was obvious whether she was asleep or not. She also knew that Xie Yuxiu could see that she was pretending to be asleep, but she still did not intend to answer.

Xie Yuxiu was not impatient when he saw this, but... when he saw Yu Jinzhi's exposed hand, his pupils shrank slightly.

There were many needle holes on Yu Jinzhi's hands, some of which were even bleeding and scabby. He didn't pay much attention just now and didn't check how badly her hands were injured. Now that he saw it clearly, he felt his heart beating.

How did she get hurt like this? When she was learning needlework, she felt pain when being pricked by a needle. How could she persist in doing it when she was so afraid of pain? That’s why she gave up needlework. But now, in order to make a knee brace for herself, she pricked her hand like this again.

But he had misunderstood her and even cut the things he had worked so hard to make into pieces. What had he done? It was a rare occasion that Xie Yuxiu regretted what he had just done.

"I just saw the words you embroidered on it." Xie Yuxiu said to Yu Jinzhi.

Of course, he still wouldn't get a response.

"You made this knee pad for me, right?" Xie Yuxiu's voice became hoarse when he asked this question, and his heart ached.

Yu Jinzhi gently opened her eyes but still didn't speak.

Xie Yuxiu put his hand on her: "...I'm sorry...I misunderstood you today. It's all my fault. I apologize to you, okay?" he said again.

He actually apologized and said sorry? Yu Jinzhi couldn't help but be shocked.

In this case……

Suddenly, the sound of Yu Jinzhi crying softly was heard in the room. It couldn't be called crying, but just sobbing.

Xie Yuxiu's heart seemed to be gripped by a pair of huge hands in an instant, and he raised his hand, wanting to ask Yu Jinzhi to turn around.
