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

Yu Jinzhi naturally would not miss such an opportunity, she tightened Xie Yuxiu's cloak.

"It's warmer." she said.

Xie Yuxiu hugged her tightly: "Is it cold outside?"

"Yeah, it's so cold. When I first came out, I almost turned into an ice sculpture." Yu Jinzhi said exaggeratedly.

But Xie Yuxiu just likes Yu Jinzhi like this. She makes him feel close to her, instead of being distant like before.

"Your Majesty," Yu Jinzhi suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" Xie Yuxiu responded immediately.

"Have you ever doubted me? About what happened today, have you ever suspected that I was the one who did it?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yuxiu's face was filled with helplessness: "When did I ever doubt you? If I doubted you, would I have let you waste so much time talking?"

Yes, Xie Yuxiu had no doubts at all. In his opinion, as long as there was a hint of suspicion, it would be the end of you.

But... I can't say this directly. Yu Jinzhi quickly reached out and hugged Xie Yuxiu's neck: "I won't do those things..."

"I know." Xie Yuxiu held her hand and put her hand back into the cloak.

Yu Jinzhi still seemed very worried: "If...if you really have any doubts about me in the future, can you give me a chance to explain?" She carefully put forward her thoughts.

Xie Yuxiu has been dictatorial for too long. Whenever he thinks something is right, he never gives anyone a chance.

"Well, I'll give you a chance to explain." A complex emotion flashed across Xie Yuxiu's eyes.

"Really? Then you won't agree verbally, but in reality, when you get angry, you still won't listen to my explanation..." Yu Jinzhi was worried.

Xie Yuxiu touched her head and said, "I will do what I promised you."

Yu Jinzhi reluctantly believed it and said nothing more, just buried her head in his arms.

Her action obviously pleased Xie Yuxiu, so Xie Yuxiu's mood improved.

but……

"Did Su Zhaorong come to see you?" Xie Yuxiu suddenly asked.

Yu Jinzhi nodded. Naturally, he couldn't hide this matter from her.

"She said she wanted to thank me for helping her before, and gave me the things you rewarded her." Yu Jinzhi answered honestly.

"They are just some ordinary things. If you need them, just ask me directly. They are much better than those." Xie Yuxiu said this with confidence.

Only Yu Jinzhi was speechless. Wasn't it too perfunctory for him to give those things to Su Zhaorong? What she gave to Qingyu and the others on weekdays was better than what Xie Yuxiu gave to Su Zhaorong.

"It's just a show. They just need to know that I gave the reward, not what it was." Xie Yuxiu felt no guilt at all.

Yu Jinzhi: "..." I was speechless because it did make sense.

but……

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly mention Su Zhaorong just now? Is it... is it that Your Majesty doesn't want me to have anything to do with her? I don't want to do anything with her, and I won't have any close contact with her..." Yu Jinzhi's mood seemed to be depressed again.

When Xie Yuxiu saw her like this, he felt a sudden pain in his heart. She was being too cautious. He had only said such a word.

"I don't want to restrict your relationship with her. It's just that she dragged a clean person into this with just a few words today. He may not be a good person, do you understand?" Xie Yuxiu said.

This was something that Yu Jinzhi had not expected, so what did he mean by saying this just now?

"Why does Your Majesty say that?" Yu Jinzhi was puzzled. This time she was really confused and curious.

"Do you know why she had the lowest status among everyone during the talent show, but would I give her the rank of Jieyu?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

Yu Jinzhi has always been curious about this. She had always thought that Xie Yuxiu had no interest in these people, so he just randomly assigned them positions, but now...

"This is the first show. According to the rules, only legitimate daughters are eligible to participate. This is the default rule. When the Grand Tutor's Mansion first reported to participate in this show, it was decided that the legitimate daughter would be the one."

"But right after that, the two legitimate daughters of the Grand Tutor's family broke out one after another in things that ruined their reputations. In the end, it was her, a concubine's daughter, who got the chance."

"After entering the palace, she was bullied by everyone, but she endured it all. Everyone thought she was easy to bully, but coincidentally, those who bullied her would always encounter some unpleasant things or even troubles one after another." Xie Yuxiu continued.

Although he didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, when the first selection was held, he had just ascended the throne, so he couldn't help but keep a closer eye on it.

This……

Yu Jinzhi really didn't know, but she also knew that Su Zhaorong was not simple, based on what she said today.

"I don't object to you making friends with these women in the palace. After all, it would be boring for you to be alone. But making friends doesn't necessarily require complete trust. You should always be more cautious and not invest too much emotion in it." Xie Yuxiu said again.

Tsk, has he changed his personality today? He can actually talk to me about these things?

"I know..." Yu Jinzhi replied, pretending that she knew nothing.

The more Xie Yuxiu worries about him, the more "ignorance" he reveals, and the more he will keep it in mind.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that Concubine Jiang was wrong about what happened today?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that this is the result they want to see." Xie Yuxiu replied.

Duke Cheng wanted to see this situation, even if it meant sacrificing a daughter. After all, he charged Cheng Yun with the crime of murdering the emperor yesterday.

If this crime is proven, Cheng's family will be implicated. Even if he doesn't pursue it, the censors in the court will not let it go.

"It's just a fight between them. There are so many concubines in the harem, wouldn't it be good to have one or two less? It's not a bad thing anyway." Xie Yuxiu said again.

Yu Jinzhi was stunned. Is this human language? There are many concubines, so it is a good thing to reduce one or two in this way?

"Don't look at me like that. I have no interest in them." Xie Yuxiu said, as if he was deliberately explaining to Yu Jinzhi.

Yu Jinzhi didn't care, and most of the time, it wouldn't be a bad thing for her if he could shift his attention to others.

"Okay, it's late, let's rest. Tonight... just stay here, no need to go back." Having said that, Xie Yuxiu directly picked up Yu Jinzhi.
