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

Many people saw Yu Jinzhi go to Concubine Su's tent, and Xie Yuxiu was no exception.

"Why did she suddenly go to someone else's tent?" Xie Yuxiu asked with a frown.

"I heard from the people below that it was the palace maid beside Concubine Su who went to ask the princess for help, so the princess went there specially." Wang Yi replied.

Xie Yuxiu looked confused: "Help? What help?"

"Reporting to your majesty, today in Concubine Yun's tent, Concubine Su echoed a few of the princess's words. After your majesty and the princess left, Concubine Yun was furious and punished Concubine Su with a whip. I heard that her skin was torn and bloody."

"But Concubine Yun did not allow the imperial physician to treat her, and she has always been harsh on Concubine Su. There is not even a charcoal fire or hot water in the tent. So the palace maid came to ask the princess for help to invite the imperial physician. The princess is kind-hearted and may be worried about her, so she made a special trip to visit her." Wang Yi explained everything that happened today.

Is this really the case? Concubine Yun has always treated her subordinates in this way? Xie Yuxiu's face turned even darker.

As for this Concubine Su... Xie Yuxiu also remembered the way she looked when she came out to prove Yu Jinzhi's words in the tent today. It seems that she is a bit tactful. In this case...

"Jin Su Jieyi as Zhaorong, you can go find some animal skins from the winter hunt and send them over later." Xie Yuxiu spoke directly.

Wang Yi almost lost his balance when he heard this. He was promoted just like that? Even higher than Concubine Yun? Your Majesty, isn't this killing people?

"Yes." Wang Yi did not dare to say more and could only hurry to convey the order. The key point was that there was not even an imperial edict, just an oral order, and it was unclear whether he took it seriously or not.

Su Jieyu had just finished treating her wound when she received this decree, and she was completely unable to react. She was promoted to Zhaorong just like that? Was she dreaming?

"Congratulations, Su Zhaorong. His Majesty heard that you were wronged this time, so he specially asked people to prepare these things. Your Majesty must keep them well." Wang Yi said.

Su Zhaorong was respectful and quickly asked the palace maid beside her to accept the gifts.

"Thank you, eunuch. It's just... His Majesty suddenly promoted my position...?" She was still inquiring.

Wang Yi had a formal smile on his face: "How can we servants guess what your majesty is thinking? But your majesty still remembers what Su Zhaorong said in front of Concubine Yun today."

The first sentence says that it is hard to guess His Majesty's intention, but the second sentence points it out, which is really smooth.

Su Zhaorong also knew that the reason why she was promoted suddenly today was because of Yu Jinzhi. If His Majesty really appreciated what she said today, he could have conferred the title immediately. Why did he wait so long to promote her?

The position of Princess Jiayu in His Majesty's heart is indeed different. I'm afraid she will be of great use in the future.

Yu Jinzhi also received this news, and she was actually surprised. After Xie Yuxiu took a concubine, there were only demotions, how could there be any promotions? This really set a precedent.

"Princess, the palace maid beside Su Zhaorong came over and said that she was ordered by Zhao Su Rong to come and thank you." A palace maid walked in from outside and said.

Yu Jinzhi did not refuse, she raised her hand and said: "Let someone in."

When the palace maid Tao Qing came in, she was holding a tray in her hand.

"Your servant greets the princess." Tao Qing also knelt down respectfully.

"Get up." Yu Jinzhi also saw clearly what she was holding. It was some animal skins. She actually had a lot of them, and their quality was much better than the ones in her hand.

"Princess, I am here to thank you on the orders of our queen. These are the rewards given by His Majesty today. The queen asked me to select some to give to you. I hope you don't mind." Tao Qing continued.

How could she be here to give me something? Was she here to test my attitude? Perhaps she was trying to test my attitude under the pretext of giving me something. If I refused, it would mean that she had made her position clear to me today and there would be no room for negotiation. But if I accepted, it would mean that I was willing to accept her surrender.

"That's thoughtful of you. Qingyu, put the things away." Yu Jinzhi said.

"Yes." Qingyu stepped forward and took the thing.

Yu Jinzhi looked at Tao Qing and said, "Empress Zhaorong has just been promoted to a higher position. It would be a shame for her to continue living in the same place. I will talk to His Majesty later and ask him to change her residence. This will help her recover from her injuries."

"Then I would like to thank the princess for her kindness on behalf of our queen." Tao Qing seemed to be a person who knew the rules, and talking to such a person would save a lot of trouble.

After Tao Qing left, Yu Jinzhi looked at the animal skins again, and Qingyu also sighed: "This Su Zhaorong is a person who knows how to repay a favor, but the princess has plenty of these things."

"After all, it's a thoughtful gesture from someone else. It would be a shame to throw it away." Yu Jinzhi didn't say anything else. Be grateful and repay kindness? Shouldn't it be for the sake of benefit?

"I'm tired and want to take a break." Yu Jinzhi yawned lightly. She had put so much effort today and now she really couldn't hold on any longer.

"Yes." Qingyu helped Yu Jinzhi get up and go to rest.

When Xie Yuxiu came over, she had already fallen asleep.

"How long have you slept?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

"Your Majesty, the princess has just fallen asleep." Qingyu replied.

"Everyone, leave. There's no need to keep anyone here." Xie Yuxiu dismissed all the workers.

He walked directly towards Yu Jinzhi's bed. Yu Jinzhi always liked to curl up when she slept, as if only in this way could she feel safe and fall asleep.

Xie Yuxiu sat down beside her, listening to Yu Jinzhi's even breathing, and his mood seemed to relax as well.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand towards Yu Jinzhi's face, but he stopped before he touched her, probably because he was afraid of waking her up. So he moved his hand to her hair, which shouldn't wake her up.

Yu Jinzhi might be really tired, so she slept very deeply and didn't notice Xie Yuxiu's arrival at all.

She seemed to be in a dream. In the dream... Xie Yuxiu forcibly brought her into the palace and then imprisoned her in the deep palace.

He put heavy handcuffs on himself, and she could not go anywhere. She could only sit by the window with these shackles and look at the outside world and the birds flying in the distance.

Later, because I wanted to escape, he robbed me and punished me mercilessly. No matter how much I begged for mercy, he never showed any mercy.

after that……

Yu Jinzhi saw herself standing on the towering city wall. She was wearing her wedding dress and her heart was dead.
