Xie Yuxiu squatted forward, and then wanted to reach out and pick him up. But Yu Jinzhi was unwilling and stayed where she was.

"You don't want me to touch you?" Xie Yuxiu asked her.

Yu Jinzhi didn't say anything, but looked aggrieved, as if she had been severely bullied.

"Tell me what's going on, okay?" Xie Yuxiu said.

Yu Jinzhi opened her mouth but didn't say anything immediately, as if she had some concerns.

"Go ahead, it's okay. I'm listening and I won't be angry." Xie Yuxiu was also assuring her.

Yu Jinzhi looked at him with her watery eyes as if to confirm the truth of his words.

Finally, after a long time, he said: "I miss my daddy... I want to go home."

Do you miss your daddy?

Xie Yuxiu really didn't expect this to be the reason.

But he remembered that Yu Jinzhi seemed to have been mumbling something when she had a high fever. Yu Sheng...had indeed been gone for a while, so it was normal for her to be worried.

"Does Zhizhi want to write a letter?" Xie Yuxiu reached out and touched her head.

After Yu Sheng left, Yu Jinzhi hadn't written a letter because she didn't dare to. Without Xie Yuxiu's permission, she didn't dare to write a letter and send it out.

Today, she also wanted to take this opportunity to gain more for herself...

"Can I write a letter to Dad?" Yu Jinzhi seemed a little unbelieving.

"Of course, once you write it, I'll have someone send it out for you, okay?" Xie Yuxiu said.

"Hmm..." Yu Jinzhi nodded quickly.

But seeing her like this made Xie Yuxiu feel even more distressed.

"Your Majesty..." Yu Jinzhi seemed to have something else to say.

"Hmm?" Xie Yuxiu was very patient.

Yu Jinzhi took the initiative to move forward, and Xie Yuxiu also lowered his head. Then, he heard Yu Jinzhi speak to him cautiously: "Daddy, is he... is he in danger?"

"Yes." Xie Yuxiu would not say there would be no danger just to reassure Yu Jinzhi.

Places like the border are too dangerous. Even if precautions are taken, there is no way there will be no accidents. He can't guarantee it.

Sure enough, Yu Jinzhi's face turned pale when she heard this.

"Your Majesty..." She seemed to want to say something else?

"I know you are worried about him. I also know that you are worried that Concubine Jia will have someone do something to your father because of you, right?" How could Xie Yuxiu not guess what she was thinking?

Yu Jinzhi nodded. She was really worried. After all, it was Concubine Jia's brother Yang Cheng who first proposed this matter.

He couldn't have brought up such a thing for no reason, he must have planned it. So, how could she not be worried?

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. And I've asked secret guards to follow your father on this trip. If he encounters any danger, they will protect you, General Yu." Xie Yuxiu told him about his previous arrangements.

Yu Jinzhi was really stunned when she heard this. Because she had never thought that Xie Yuxiu had already sent secret guards to guard behind her father...

When did he think of this? When did he make this arrangement? What was the purpose? Was it to protect Daddy? Or...to monitor him?

"The ground is too cold. You will catch a cold if you sit for too long. Can you get up first?" Xie Yuxiu took the initiative to coax her.

Yu Jinzhi looked at the hand he extended, and then threw herself into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, okay? I will never break my promise to you." Xie Yuxiu hugged him tightly.

Yu Jinzhi believed it, but she couldn't believe it completely. But overall, today's play was not in vain. At least she got the right to write to her father, and she also knew that Xie Yuxiu had sent someone to follow her father early in the morning.

Xie Yuxiu picked the person up from the ground and sat down on the bed next to him: "Don't cry all the time. Crying too much is bad for your eyes."

"When can we go back..." Yu Jinzhi asked him.

"Want to go back?" Xie Yuxiu asked her.

Shouldn't she like staying outside? She should be very disgusted with the palace.

"Afraid." Yu Jinzhi answered unexpectedly.

Afraid? Afraid of what? Xie Yuxiu frowned.

"What are you afraid of?" Xie Yuxiu asked her.

"I'm afraid the previous accident will happen again." Yu Jinzhi answered honestly.

He had always had an uneasy premonition in his heart, and this premonition had been there since that time.

She always felt that something bad was going to happen and she felt uneasy, so she wanted to return to the palace early.

"No, an accident like that won't happen again, don't be afraid." Xie Yuxiu didn't seem to have any plans to go back.

Yu Jinzhi is a very perceptive person now. Logically speaking, Xie Yuxiu's attitude towards her now should not just be a simple statement that such a thing will not happen again in the future.

Did he still not want to go back? Why not? Yu Jinzhi was confused, but she didn't show it too obviously. She just asked him indirectly: "So do we have to stay here for a few more days? But it's so cold here..."

"I'll have to stay for a few more days, five at most. After five days, I'll take Zhizhi back, okay?" Xie Yuxiu replied.

Five days? In the past, winter hunting usually lasted three to five days, but if we continue to stay for five days this time...isn't it too long? This is a little abnormal.

"If Zhizhi feels cold, I'll ask someone to prepare some more charcoal. Or Zhizhi can stay in my tent, okay?" Xie Yuxiu said.

He had already said so, and it would be unwise for her to continue making trouble. So Yu Jinzhi just nodded, without any other abnormal reaction.

Xie Yuxiu coaxed her for a long time in the tent, and finally left when he saw that she was in a much better mood.

After the others left, Yu Jinzhi looked in the direction he left and fell into deep thought. What was Xie Yuxiu trying to do by staying here for so long?

Yu Jinzhi's inner uneasiness became more and more obvious. She always felt as if something big was going to happen, but she didn't dare to make any random guesses.

Xie Yuxiu, who had left Yu Jinzhi's tent, had also returned to his tent. Thinking about Yu Jinzhi's words about wanting to go back, he also looked at Wang Yi: "Have Xie Zhao's people arrived at the hunting ground?"

"Your Majesty, they have all arrived," Wang Yi replied.

"He knows how to pick the right time." A hint of coldness flashed across Xie Yuxiu's face.

After waiting once, he will definitely let Yu Jinzhi see Xie Zhao's purpose clearly and completely dig him out of Yu Jinzhi's heart!
