She refused to eat or drink, nor did she take any medicine, and she would not let anyone get close to her.

He had to admit that he was indeed threatened, but unfortunately… people who had weaknesses but were unable to resist were not qualified to threaten others.

In a rage, Xie Yuxiu ordered people to take Yu Sheng to the palace. Didn't she not want to eat? If she didn't eat, Xie Yuxiu would starve Yu Sheng for a day; if she didn't drink, Yu Sheng wouldn't be able to drink water for a day; if she didn't take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, then no one would treat Yu Sheng's injuries for a day.

Yu Jinzhi was not as ruthless as Xie Yuxiu, and once again succumbed to his threats. Perhaps it was because Xie Yuxiu's method was too cruel that time, and she was very obedient for a long time afterwards, but every time she saw Xie Yuxiu, she couldn't stop shaking.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuxiu's eyes dimmed: "Don't anger me, go back to the palace." His tone became calmer.

But even if he softened his tone, Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to act presumptuously. She always knew that the calmer Xie Yuxiu was, the worse his fate would be.

She didn't dare to continue resisting, fearing that she would implicate her father. Yu Jinzhi gave up struggling and was carried to the horse by Xie Yuxiu, and she curled up in his arms.

"Take these people away." Xie Yuxiu said again, and the maid who had just followed Yu Jinzhi was dragged away by the guards. Yu Jinzhi was about to say something but was blocked by Xie Yuxiu's words: "If you don't want them to be beaten to death, shut up. Don't care too much about irrelevant people in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuxiu led his men directly back to Jiayu Palace. The distance was not far, but Yu Jinzhi felt it was particularly long.

I have tried to escape before, but every time I failed. The consequence of my failure was that Xie Yuxiu forced me to do it. In my memory, the worst time was when he locked me up in prison, which was dark and damp.

The innermost cell had no sunlight at all. It was pitch black even in the daytime. Without a candle, nothing could be seen.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with nothing in the room except a bed, and she couldn't even hear any sound except the occasional crying of prisoners. But cockroaches and rats would crawl on her, and she couldn't get rid of them, and could only feel numb all over.

She had begged for mercy, but unfortunately no one would sympathize with her. Apart from the people who brought her food, she could not see a single living person. Yu Jinzhi did not even know how long she had been there. She had never been so scared before. There was only eternal darkness and silent silence, as if she was the only one left in the world...

She completely collapsed in the cell and eventually lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she was already in Jiayu Palace, and her feet were locked with chains that were only used on prisoners.

She began to fear that Xie Yuxiu would treat her in that way again. She would go crazy...

After arriving at Jiayu Palace, she looked at the palace gate and hesitated to go in. Xie Yuxiu took the person off the horse, and Yu Jinzhi was brought into the inner hall by him.

After stepping into the room and seeing the familiar environment, Yu Jinzhi tried hard to break free from his hand: "Your Majesty..." There was panic in her voice.

Xie Yuxiu did not answer, but pulled her to the bed, then put his arms around her waist and pushed her down heavily.

How could Yu Jinzhi not know what this meant? She clenched her fists, and then her eyes turned red. That kind of thing was not only painful, but also humiliating.

"Don't..." Her voice was broken by crying, and countless bitterness filled her heart.

Xie Yuxiu had long lost control of himself. God knew what he felt when she jumped off the city wall in her previous life.

During the remaining forty years of his life, Yu Jinzhi's appearance was always engraved in his mind, and he thought about her all the time. No one could understand her feelings, and no one knew how he survived the decades without her.

So now that you've already held him in your arms, how can you expect him to hold back?

"Since you knew that I would be angry and since you were afraid of being punished by me, how dare you run away without my permission?" Xie Yuxiu tried hard to suppress his anger. In fact, he was more angry about the moment when she jumped off the city wall in the previous life.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that if she had not really jumped that time, if he had caught her, what would have been waiting for her might have been a more cruel punishment, or even really crippling her, completely crushing her wings that wanted to escape...

But she jumped down in the end, and now he really wanted to vent, but... Xie Yuxiu looked at the woman under him with red eyes, who was extremely pitiful, and suddenly a sense of pity and fear surged in his heart.

Did he really push her too far? He looked to the side, and Yu Jinzhi also noticed his gaze. She couldn't bear it any longer.

Yu Jinzhi gently pulled Xie Yuxiu's robe and said, "No... I don't dare anymore. I really don't want to escape."

"I'm afraid to stay there. I can only smell the bloody smell every day. There are also cockroaches and rats. They will crawl on my body. It's dark and damp there. I'm scared..." Yu Jinzhi's words made Xie Yuxiu frown.

But he soon realized that this should be the only time he put her in the cell. That time she was with Xie Zhao, and when they were caught, he wanted to kill Xie Zhao immediately. But she actually dared to block the sword?

Because he was also injured at the time, and was provoked by Yu Jinzhi, he ordered the person to be imprisoned. He knew that Yu Jinzhi could not last long in such an environment, so he took the person out in just one day.

At that time, Yu Jinzhi had fainted and had a high fever. Even after being taken out, she remained unconscious. So after that time, he never used that method again, but he would still use verbal threats to scare Yu Jinzhi.

Xie Yuxiu gently stroked her hair, then placed his fingertips on her face and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You shouldn't have thought about sneaking away without saying anything, and you shouldn't have let me find you." He opened his lips slightly, but he didn't know whether this sentence was spoken to the present Yu Jinzhi or her in the previous life.

Yu Jinzhi's face was covered with tears: "No, I won't run away... I really won't run away." Only at this time was she most afraid of Xie Yuxiu.

"And Qingyu and the others are innocent. They were willing to take the risk to take me out because I threatened them. Please don't kill them, I beg you..." Qingyu was the palace maid who followed her.

In the previous life, Xie Yuxiu was ordered to be beaten to death in front of Yu Jinzhi because they took Yu Jinzhi away without permission.
