Lady Jiang, who had been lingering outside, had been keeping an eye on Yu Jinzhi since she showed up. Now that she saw her go straight in, she was shocked, but at the same time she felt a little jealous.

"How did Princess Jiayu go in just like that? Didn't she need to ask His Majesty for permission first?" The palace maid next to her was also amazed.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jiang became even more furious: "She is really good at winning people's hearts. I'm afraid she has given these people a lot of benefits in private. She pretends to be a chaste and heroic woman, as if she was forced by Your Majesty, but now she comes to you on her own initiative with her eyes wide open? Such a person really has no shame at all!" Concubine Jiang clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

"Then, Master, shall we continue to wait?" the maid next to him asked again. They had been waiting here for almost an hour, but His Majesty had not come out yet.

Concubine Jiang also had a look of resentment on her face: "She is really a vixen. Shu Zhaoyi was right." After saying this, Concubine Jiang left angrily without wasting any more time.

Yu Jinzhi had already entered the tent, holding a rabbit in her arms. As soon as she entered the group, she ran straight to Xie Yuxiu without even saying hello.

"Your Majesty!" Yu Jinzhi's call made Xie Yuxiu a little dazed. When he saw Yu Jinzhi running towards him, he seemed to see her again, the one that everyone envied before.

"Look, a rabbit." Yu Jinzhi showed the rabbit in the ring to Xie Yuxiu with a proud look on her face.

Xie Yuxiu also noticed it, and he withdrew his thoughts: "Where did you find a rabbit?"

"I found it in the kitchen. Isn't it beautiful?" Yu Jinzhi seemed very happy, but still a little cautious, because when she said these words, she was always observing Xie Yuxiu's expression, as if she was afraid that he would be angry.

When Xie Yuxiu heard that they were going to the kitchen, his memories went back to the time when Yu Jinzhi ran into him when he was a child saving a rabbit in the imperial kitchen in the palace.

"It's still so similar." Xie Yuxiu said unconsciously.

Yu Jinzhi was a little confused when she heard this: "What do you mean by similar? Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" she asked.

"Nothing, why do you suddenly want to find a rabbit?" Xie Yuxiu asked again.

"I was just a little bored, and just now when I was in the tent, I thought of the story His Majesty told me yesterday, and then I thought about finding a little rabbit." Yu Jinzhi did not hide it at all.

The story you told yesterday?

"Your Majesty, can I keep this rabbit?" Yu Jinzhi asked again cautiously.

How could Xie Yuxiu refuse?

"If you want to raise it, then keep it." Xie Yuxiu replied. It's just a rabbit after all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Yu Jinzhi's cheering voice rang out, it seemed to move everyone.

"Your Majesty," Wang Yi walked over from the side.

"Your Majesty, we have already investigated what happened yesterday. It is true that someone did it on purpose," Wang Yi said.

What happened yesterday? Yu Jinzhi suddenly remembered, could it be the incident of falling off a horse yesterday? Was this really done on purpose?

When Xie Yuxiu heard this, his whole face instantly turned dark.

"What's going on?" Xie Yuxiu's tone was so cold that it was almost freezing.

"He was a groom in charge of the horses. He happened to be looking after the horses that the princess rode yesterday. And when the horses were fed, the grass they ate contained substances that could excite them. When the effects of the drugs took effect, the horses could easily lose control." Wang Yi continued.

What a courage! She dared to do such a thing under his nose. If he was not there yesterday, he couldn't even imagine what kind of danger Yu Jinzhi would face alone.

"Bring the person here!" Xie Yuxiu was furious.

Yu Jinzhi is still standing next to him. A groom? How can a groom be so brave? I don't know who is hiding behind this. Could it be Yunpin? After all, at this stage and in this place, the one who hates me the most should be Yunpin.

Xie Yuxiu also looked at Yu Jinzhi who was still standing next to him. He tried to calm himself down and said, "Do you want to go to the back and rest for a while?" He was also afraid that he would scare Yu Jinzhi again, which would be counterproductive.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "I also want to know who it is. Can you please not chase me away? I promise I won't say anything nonsense. I will behave myself."

Xie Yuxiu was helpless, he didn't say he wanted to drive her away. He just stretched out his arms and Yu Jinzhi sat in his arms in an instant.

"Then stay here, but don't get scared again for a while." Xie Yuxiu raised his eyebrows.

Yu Jinzhi: "..." Can't you just talk properly? You have to make a move.

"Yeah," Yu Jinzhi responded obediently. What was the use of cursing in her heart? She didn't dare to show it on the surface.

The rabbit in her arms was still held tightly in her arms. Xie Yuxiu suddenly felt that the rabbit was a bit of an eyesore. How could a dead rabbit be worthy of her holding it in her arms anytime and anywhere?

But before he could argue, Wang Yi had already come up with the groom.

"Kneel down!" As soon as Wang Yi finished speaking, the guard kicked the coachman, and the coachman knelt down on the spot.

The moment the groom saw Xie Yuxiu, his face was filled with fear and he seemed to be really scared.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty!" The groom knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy.

Yu Jinzhi even saw that the groom's head was not very big, and it was bleeding after a while. He was really strong...

But how could he dare to do such a thing when he was so timid? Did he really think he wouldn't be discovered? That really underestimated Xie Yuxiu's methods.

"Who ordered you to do this?" Xie Yuxiu went straight to the point. His tone of voice made people feel breathless for some reason.

Yu Jinzhi hadn't heard him speak in this tone for a long time, as if he could kill this man on the spot in the next instant.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me. No one ordered me to do this. It was my own carelessness and confusion. I accidentally mixed the grass into the horse feed. I really didn't know it would lead to such a result. Your Majesty, please spare me!" The groom cried out loudly, as if he was really wronged.

but……

Would Xie Yuxiu believe him just because of these few words? Tsk, Yu Jinzhi could only light a candle for this groom in her heart.

As expected, Xie Yuxiu sneered, and without even giving him a chance, he said, "Hit me!"

This is an attempt to force a confession...

If someone else used this method, they might be tortured into confessing. But for Xie Yuxiu... firstly, no one dared to reveal his identity, and secondly, because he had always been an image of a tyrant...

Soon, the camp was filled with screams and the sound of sticks hitting flesh.
