For three consecutive days, Ziyu kept herself locked in her room without eating, drinking or saying a word. Xia Chengyin came to see her every day, but she never said a word. That sad expression made Xia Chengyin sad.

Also angry.

Every night was the most difficult time for Ziyu. She could not help but think of Xing Munan, making it difficult to sleep. She felt haggard day by day.

In Ziyu's heart, she has been silently waiting for Xing Munan to suddenly appear, bring her her favorite mung bean cake, tell her that everything is not true, and then take her away from the deep palace courtyard.

"Miss Ziyu, please eat as much as you can. If this continues, we will be punished." Xiaoxiao's pleading tone brought Ziyu back to his senses.

"You are the ones who will be punished." Ziyu suddenly thought of Yu Zhao and that night when Xia Chengyin sent people to drag Yu Zhao down. He didn't know how to deal with him, but he was innocent at all. These days, he has been patronizing him.

Sad, but forgot this important friend.

Ziyu suddenly stood up and rushed out of the room regardless of how late it was at night.

"Miss Ziyu, where are you going?" Xiaoxiao hurriedly chased after her.

The moonlight shines on the pond in the courtyard, illuminating a few lotus flowers that are in bud and are so beautiful. However, no one here is interested in admiring the flowers.

Ziyu ran straight to the imperial study. No one could stop her, and no one dared to stop her, because everyone in the palace knew that she was a more important woman to the emperor than the queen.

The guards at the door of the imperial study were frightened when they saw Ziyu coming in a hurry. They did not dare to stop Ziyu and allowed her to break into the empty imperial study. Xia Chengyin was not there.

"Where is Xia Chengyin?" Ziyu turned around and asked the guards. The two guards were trembling and did not dare to answer. No one dared to call the emperor by his name. If they answered, wouldn't they be disrespectful to the emperor?

"Miss Ziyu is asking you, where is the emperor right now?" Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered up the embarrassment.

"The Emperor...The Emperor has gone to the Queen's palace. In the past few days, the Emperor has been sleeping there."

Suddenly, Ziyu's vision went dark, her legs went weak, and she fainted. When a person's heart is so heartbroken, what strength can she have to support her standing.

When Ziyu woke up, she was already lying in her room. Xia Chengyin was holding one of her hands, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Ziyu, are you awake?" Xia Chengyin reached out to caress Ziyu's face, but Ziyu turned his head and broke away from his hand. A trace of gloom flashed across Xia Chengyin's face. "Do you have a problem with me?"

when heard

When the news came that Zi Yu had fainted, Xia Chengyin rushed over from Wen Wanying desperately. Looking at the increasingly haggard Zi Yu, he felt heartbroken, but in the face of Zi Yu's indifference, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Where's Yu Zhao?"

"Are you questioning me?" Xia Chengyin was displeased.

"He has done nothing wrong. You asked them to protect me, and they all did their duty. I didn't want to go back to the palace, so I asked them to take me away. It has nothing to do with them at all. You can let Yu Zhao go."

"Ha." Xia Chengyin suddenly sneered: "Is it because of Xing Munan that you want to leave me?" His eyes suddenly became terrifying. He grabbed Zi Yu's shoulders and forced Zi Yu to look at him.

Ziyu stared at Xia Chengyin and shook his head slowly: "Leaving is my original intention, what does it have to do with him?"

"Why?" Xia Chengyin was almost hysterical.

"Because there will be no future between us. I don't belong here. Even if I want to accommodate myself to everything here, I won't be happy. Don't say that there isn't everything I know here. Even you, I can't be 100%

Dependence, you had a whole world before me, but you can’t give me what I want.”

"I am the king of a country, what do you want that I can't give you?" Xia Chengyin was deeply hurt. He loved a woman so deeply, why could she never understand his painstaking efforts? For her, he was in crisis again and again.

, for her, she was forced by the ministers again and again, for her, she even made mistakes in state affairs, but she said that what she wanted was not what she could give, how could she be so cruel?

"I want you to be devoted to me, I want you to put me in the most important position, I want you to be by my side often, even return to my world, watch movies, play games, go shopping, eat with me...

Even if you have your own career, the initial starting point is to make me happy. My love is so selfish, you can't give it, you can't give it..." Ziyu couldn't help sobbing, and the tears fell one by one, making Xia Chengyin

I can't bear to continue arguing with her anymore.

Xia Chengyin also understood that what Zi Yu said was something he could not give. Although her incoherent words later made him confused, he also felt deeply sorry for Zi Yu. If it was hurt, they would give it to each other.

, who will be deeper?

"You should rest. I will come see you another day."

"Are you going back to your queen?" Ziyu's eyes were cold, his tone was cold, everything was cold, and her heart had already been cold due to pain.

"I'm sorry, I promised her."

"Is it for her or for the world?"

"Ziyu, you know there is no one else in my heart except you."

"That's for the sake of the world? I'm really wronging you."

"Ziyu." Xia Chengyin was shocked by Ziyu's cynicism.

"Then if I ask you to stay with me, will you still go to the queen's place?"

For a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Chengyin's heart, but then he remembered Wen Wanying's agreement and the agreement with Nancheng King, and he hesitated.

At this time, there was a cautious knock on the door, and Baoshun said softly outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone to urge you to come and rest early."

Xia Chengyin's body froze in place, and Zi Yu sneered: "Why don't you go quickly?"

"Ziyu, I'm sorry, I will come to accompany you tomorrow, I promise." Xia Chengyin turned around reluctantly and prepared to leave.

"Cheng Yin."

Xia Chengyin was slightly startled. Zi Yu hadn't called him that for a long time. He turned around and looked at Zi Yu, who was still indifferent. "What's the matter?"

"Without you, I don't feel safe. You should at least send someone to protect me."

"I will arrange for personnel to patrol the area day and night. There are also guards with strong martial arts skills in the palace at the door. You can rest assured."

"I want Yu Zhao to protect me."

"Ziyu, you..."

"Either let Yu Zhao protect me, or you stay." Zi Yu looked straight at Xia Chengyin, the determination in his eyes was indifferent.

Xia Chengyin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and left Ziyu's room.

Ziyu sat on the bed, crying non-stop. Why did she and Xia Chengyin only hurt each other, and where was the love they once had?

Half an hour later, Yu Zhao came to Zi Yu's room with empty eyes. At this time, they could see themselves in each of them, the walking zombie-like selves.

"Yu Zhao, are you okay?"

"fine."

"Can you help me contact Yi Yang and Pei Jin? I want to... leave here."

"Ziyu?" Yu Zhao still looked up in surprise.

"I want to go back to the world that belongs to me. Otherwise, I will definitely die. Are you willing to help me?"

"Of course, I promised the boss, and I promised you too."

"Thanks."

Perhaps in such a late night, only two equally injured hearts can find the initial comfort in each other.

Yi Yang and Pei Jin, who were outside the palace at this time, were almost under house arrest. Without Xia Chengyin's permission, let alone entering the palace to see Zi Yu, it was impossible to even go out. The text message Yi Yang sent to Zi Yu was also

When he didn't come back, she became more and more worried about Ziyu.

"Is Ziyu going to be okay?" Yi Yang felt more and more uneasy day by day.

"Then the emperor loves her so much, so nothing will happen to her." Pei Jin was not worried about Zi Yu, but he wanted to comfort Yi Yang more. He didn't want her to be depressed all the time.

"Because of this, I'm worried that Ziyu will never have a chance to leave the palace, and then we won't be able to go home."

"But now we have no way to contact her. If I were not under house arrest, I could still find some ways, but now..." Pei Jin sighed. In the past, he had visited Yancheng many times in order to collect intelligence.

There are some respectable friends, but unfortunately now, he is powerless.

But with Pei Jin around, he would always find ways to enjoy the hardships. Sometimes he would teach Yi Yang how to play chess, and sometimes he would let Yi Yang teach him Japanese. Naturally, he did this not just to kill boring time, but to secretly observe the guards.

Their people, because as long as he and Yi Yang play more vigorously, the guards of those people will become more relaxed. This is definitely an important discovery for him and Yi Yang.

On this day, Yu Zhao suddenly came to the residence of Yi Yang and Pei Jin. The news he brought caught them both by surprise.

"How is Ziyu now?" Pei Jin asked with concern. At this time, Yiyang had long been leaning on his shoulder and was speechless. Because as Ziyu's best friend, she could understand Ziyu's emotions at this time.

pain.

"She just wants to leave here as soon as possible."

"But, I'm afraid this won't be easy."

"It is almost impossible for us to bring her out. Unless she can get the emperor's token, she can take the risk. What I didn't expect is that you are also under house arrest."

"Don't worry about us. There aren't many people here. I've seen it. It's not difficult to sneak out. It's just that you have to plan carefully and act cautiously."

This is not a simple plan, every detail cannot go wrong, otherwise, they may never have the chance to leave.

Ziyu has never had much appetite. She often thinks of the mung bean cake that Xing Munan bought for her, but every time, she feels a little more heartbroken.

"What on earth does Miss Ziyu want to eat? If this continues, she will definitely starve." Xiaoxiao muttered to himself outside the door, and Yu Zhao happened to hear it.

"Maybe..." Yu Zhao thought of Ziyu's favorite mung bean cake.

"What? Brother Yu Zhao, tell me quickly. You don't want to see Miss Ziyu starving to death, right?"

"Miss Ziyu's favorite food is mung bean cake."

"Mung bean cake?" At some point, Xia Chengyin had arrived outside Ziyu's door. In order not to disturb Ziyu, he did not let anyone inform him. Xiaoxiao and Yu Zhao hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
