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

Sure enough, when Xie Yuxiu mentioned Xie Zhao, he paused. Yu Jinzhi also became nervous because of his slight change, but she managed to remain calm.

"I know you don't like it... so I can choose not to meet him. But I just can't control myself. He and the late Queen treated me very well. I grew up with them, longer than I did with my father. I can't watch him get into trouble, and I can't ignore things about him."

"You always use this excuse..." Xie Yuxiu spoke, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.

But... not angry?

Yu Jinzhi looked up at him: "This is not an excuse, this is what I thought in my heart. Your Majesty, I really didn't lie to you, really..."

Wasn't it a lie? Was her love for Xie Zhao fake? She always used Enlai as an excuse, but in reality, she cared more about Xie Zhao. Otherwise, why would she be so happy when she was given the marriage? And why did she forget everything she said to herself?

Xie Yuxiu should have been angry, but when he saw her careful eyes filled with tears, he suddenly couldn't bear to be angry.

"You've promised me so many times that I'm tired of hearing it." Xie Yuxiu sighed and reached out to help her tidy up the hair that was stuck to her face.

I promised many times, begged for mercy many times, and didn't dare to do it many times. But if I really remember it, how can I have the chance to say these words next time?

How could he believe Yu Jinzhi's promise? She was obviously scared to death, but as long as she faced Xie Zhao, she would do it even if she was afraid. Why? Because she liked Xie Zhao...

"Your Majesty..." Yu Jinzhi wanted to say something, but Xie Yuxiu seemed not to want to listen.

"Okay, you're still sick, so let's not argue. And don't mention Xie Zhao, okay?" Xie Yuxiu really didn't like hearing this name from her mouth.

If he continued talking, he didn't know if he could still control his emotions.

Yu Jinzhi fell silent.

"I promise you that I will not take the initiative to cause trouble for him. If he can behave himself, I can keep him alive until he dies of old age. So, you should be good and don't mention him again, don't speak for him anymore, this way we can always live in peace, and I can also indulge you in whatever else you want to do. Okay?" Xie Yuxiu said.

Good? How good is good?

"I know you are afraid of me, but I can promise you that I will never force you to do anything like that again, nor will I lock you up in a place like that again." Xie Yuxiu spoke again.

He seemed to have made such a promise before. He always kept his word, and Yu Jinzhi would not question it. This might also be a big improvement.

But... there are exceptions to everything. Who knows if Xie Yuxiu will still remember what he said before when he is furious? Every time he does something, he will punish her for being naughty, so those words... only exist when he is rational.

"Your Majesty" Wang Yi came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the food has been delivered." Wang Yi said as the palace servants behind him laid out all the dishes.

It was just some light porridge and side dishes, because Yu Jinzhi had a high fever and couldn't eat anything with strong flavors.

"Let's eat something first." Xie Yuxiu said as he reached out and picked up a bowl of millet porridge.

Yu Jinzhi had no intention of doing it herself, so she ate whatever Xie Yuxiu fed her.

"Will it be a little hot?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "It's not hot."

That's fine, Xie Yuxiu continued to feed her porridge, and also fed her some side dishes. The dishes were a bit sour, so they were very appetizing, and she ate the whole bowl of millet porridge.

"Do you want to eat more?" Xie Yuxiu served another bowl.

"I'm full." Yu Jinzhi replied.

Xie Yuxiu did not force it: "I won't eat anymore when I'm full." As he said that, he simply picked up the bowl and ate the rest without even changing the spoon and chopsticks.

When Yu Jinzhi saw this scene, she was a little surprised. So she carefully reminded him: "This is what I just ate, it's dirty..."

"How come it's dirty after you've eaten it?" Xie Yuxiu blurted out.

Yu Jinzhi was speechless, and finally stopped talking.

After Xie Yuxiu had finished destroying the remaining things, Wang Yi asked someone to come in and tell them to pick them up.

but……

"Your Majesty, I think it's time to change the dressing on your back injury," Wang Yi reminded.

It was at this time that Yu Jinzhi remembered that Xie Yuxiu still had an injury on his back.

"Your Majesty, let me apply the medicine for you." Yu Jinzhi took the initiative to take over this job. After all, when they were in the tent today, Xie Yuxiu himself said that she would be responsible for changing the dressings in the future.

But when Xie Yuxiu heard this, he directly refused: "Wait until your body recovers. Now it's not you who should serve me, it's me who should serve you."

Yu Jinzhi: "..." It wasn't her who asked Xie Yuxiu to serve her.

"Your Majesty, the princess's medicine has been prepared." Qingyu walked in holding Yu Jinzhi's medicine.

Even from a distance, Yu Jinzhi could smell a strong smell of medicine. Although she had taken medicine more often in recent days, it didn't mean she was used to the smell.

For her, taking medicine and being afraid of bitterness may never be overcome. So when the medicine was presented in front of her, Yu Jinzhi frowned.

"Drink the medicine quickly while it's still hot. I'll feed you." Xie Yuxiu took the medicine bowl on his own initiative.

Yu Jinzhi also saw the big black bowl. Coupled with the pungent smell and strong bitter taste, she felt her stomach churning.

"I'm fine. I don't need to take medicine." Yu Jinzhi rarely resisted.

In the past, if she dared not to drink the medicine, Xie Yuxiu would pinch her chin and force her to drink it. If she spilled it, he would just give her a new bowl.

But now... times are different.

"You were feeling dizzy just now, how come you're fine now? I know you're afraid of the bitter taste, but you have to take the medicine." Xie Yuxiu rarely coaxed people like this.

Yu Jinzhi's eyes and nose wrinkled a lot: "I just ate something, I'm still full, I can't drink some."

How could Xie Yuxiu not know that this was her excuse?

"If the medicine gets cold, it will be more bitter," said Xie Yuxiu.

Yu Jinzhi: "..."

"Prepare a bowl of honey water." Seeing how resistant she was, Xie Yuxiu softened his heart. He sighed and helplessly asked someone to prepare the honey water.

She will feel much better if she drinks a bowl of sugar water before taking the medicine.
