Chapter 201 - 201: 55: The national fortune dissipates, the New Emperor dies, the wolf cavalry hunts in the south, the phoenix ascends in the north_2

It quickly entered the Imperial Palace.

Yu Yunping, in a daze, did not know how he had gotten into the carriage.

When he opened his eyes, all he could see were the swaying bead curtains of the carriage window.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.

“Your Majesty, we have arrived.”

The voice of the Imperial Guards came from outside.

Yu Yunping lifted the curtain and, with the help of the eunuchs on both sides, unsteadily entered the palace.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong with you?”

As soon as he entered the palace, a beautiful woman in a phoenix-decorated robe with dazzling jewelry approached him.

Seeing Yu Yunping’s disoriented appearance, the beautiful woman did not say anything, instead directing her questioning gaze at the two Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards knew her identity, so they did not dare to offend her and replied:

“Your Majesty, the Emperor is exhausted and needs rest.”

After saying that, they left.

The Empress looked at Yu Yunping with great distress in her eyes.

“Your Majesty, let’s lie down.”

Then she called a few palace maids to help Yu Yunping to bed.

“Slap!”

Unexpectedly, halfway through lifting him, Yu Yunping seemed to be triggered by something and slapped the palace maid beside him.

‘Get out of here!” Yu Yunping shouted angrily.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong…”

The Empress looked at a loss, her lips pursed, grasping Yu Yunping’s hand, and hurriedly said.

“Don’t touch me!”

Yu Yunping immediately shook off the Empress’s jade hand and shouted, looking vigilantly at the palace maids in the hall.

“I know, you all want to harm me!”

“Stay away from me!”

The maid who had been slapped looked wronged, kneeling down with her head bowed, her eyes welling with unshed tears.

The Empress, too, was forced to retreat, looking worried.

She was aware of the Emperor’s paranoid nature.

The symptom often became more apparent after being exposed to immense pressure.

He even kept a sword by his pillow when he slept.

Now it seemed that the symptom had grown more severe.

Even she was not trusted by him anymore.

No one dared to respond to Yu Yunping’s words, and the scene immediately quieted down.

“Do you also look down on me?

Seeing that the palace maids had retreated, Yu Yunping, with unknown strength, rushed forward, grabbed the Empress’s wrist, and questioned her harshly.

“I didn’t… I didn’t…”

Feeling the pain in her wrist, the Empress was on the verge of tears.

She was not sad because of the pain but because of seeing Yu Yunping’s state, which made her heartbroken.

Seeing the Empress’s tears, Yu Yunping regained his clarity for a moment.

But that was only for a moment.

He then vented all his anger onto the palace maids.

Pulling out the treasured sword beside his bed, he slashed the priceless wooden table and stabbed one of the maids in the abdomen.

Blood gushed out.

“Get out!”

The next second.

The sword was planted right in front of the maids.

Overwhelmed with fear, the maids scattered and fled, dragging their stabbed companion and leaving the imperial palace. Yu Yunping glared coldly at the Empress.

“You get out too!”

“Yes…Your Majesty, please watch your health, the dragon body is important.”

The Empress wiped her tears with her handkerchief, then said worriedly and closed the door.

“Clang! ”

The moment the door closed.

The treasured sword fell to the ground, and Yu Yunping collapsed onto the floor, clenching his teeth and fists with his eyes closed.

He couldn’t accept his loss.

Back then, it had cost him so much time, effort, and lives to obtain his current position.

He had lost his father, elder brother, and little sister.

And today, he felt like he was going to lose everything.

This feeling suffocated him.

For some reason, Yu Yunping thought of the Late Emperor of the Yan.

Back then, when he had stormed into the palace, he had seen with his own eyes Emperor Yan hanging on the crooked neck tree in the backyard.

If the Xia Country were to be destroyed in two generations, would he end up like the former Yan Emperor?

The concubines in the inner palace were all sold to the Department of Education and Music, the royal family members were executed, and the wealthy young masters with connections were all tattooed and exiled.

In his heart, a sense of panic suddenly arose.

Processing this thought.

He pushed open the doors of the rear palace and headed for the backyard garden.

Here, there was a low hill, at the bottom of which stood a crooked tree that resembled a human neck.

Yu Yunping glanced at the crooked neck tree.

He untied the jade belt of his imperial robe.

The robe fell away, revealing the white shirt underneath.

He threw the jade belt over the tree trunk and tied a knot.

Looking at the jade loop in front of him, he hesitated.

He simply didn’t have the guts to commit suicide.

He had come here only to experience the fate experienced by the ruined Yan

Dynasty.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

Now, the same situation had come to him.

Yu Yunping picked up the imperial robe, untied the jade belt, and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

His mood was unprecedentedly calm.

After venting, his state of mind had improved significantly.

Knock, Imock.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

“What is it?”

Yu Yunping frowned.

“Your Majesty, the Empress says it’s time for dinner.”

The voice belonged to a soft, sweet voice, obviously a young palace maid.

Yu Yunping touched his stomach and indeed felt hungry.

Having been overly worried about the news from Shanhai Pass, spending all his time on the city wall, he had not eaten breakfast or lunch.

So he said, “Come in.”

A maid in a blue long skirt entered with a decoration plate.

She didn’t forget to close the door.

“What’s for dinner.”

“Your Majesty, today we have auspicious rolls, soup with red date and snow clam, stir-fried artemisia, and secret sauce duck in four varieties.”

The maid replied unhurriedly.

Yu Yunping nodded and glanced at the maid, finding that she was also quite pretty and pleasant in appearance..
