Chapter 202 - 202: 55: National fortune dissipates, the new emperor dies, the wolf cavalry hunts in the south, the phoenix heads north_3

Yu Yunping picked up his imperial chopsticks while continuing to ask:

“Where are you from?”

The young palace maid kneeling before Yu Yunping replied, “Your Majesty, this maid is from Qinghe County.” ‘Where is Qinghe County?

Yu Yunping asked curiously.

As the ruler of a country, there were still many places he had never visited and small places whose names he did not know.

“It’s just an insignificant small place in the south.”

Seeing that there was no response, the young palace maid cautiously asked:

“Your Majesty, it’s normal if you don’t know about it. In our hometown, we have a dance that can bring good luck. Would Your Majesty like to see?”

“Oh? Good luck.”

Yu Yunping looked interested.

At the same time, he quietly reached for the sword lying near his bed, and said calmly: “Dance for me.”

“Alright.”

The young palace maid agreed.

Then, she took out a purple ribbon, gently flicked it, and started to dance.

Her body moved gracefully, dancing elegantly.

Her dress fluttered along with her movements, the ribbon twirling around her body.

Undeniably, it was beautiful.

Having touched the Treasured Sword, Yu Yunping felt secure and began to watch the dance attentively.

Suddenly,

The purple ribbon rose and started swirling around the center of the Main Hall like a giant hand, blurring vision.

The young palace maid disappeared in an instant.

Yu Yunping was suddenly shocked.

He was just about to draw his sharp sword.

But the next second, the purple ribbon tightly bound his body.

Making him immobile. “You… You want to kill me!”

Yu Yunping’s voice trembled.

“Even if I don’t kill you, you’re not far from death. Look at your current state.”

The young palace maid replied impassively.

Yu Yunping looked towards a bronze mirror nearby.

To his surprise, his face was pale. His eyes were sunken and encircled by dark rings, making him look extremely exhausted. “I still have an unfinished mission…l can’t die…”

Yu Yunping murmured.

The young palace maid calmly said: “Be contented. Either common people or cultivators, many live their whole lives without achieving anything. You’ve tried your best. At least amongst the people I’ve seen.”

“Why are you killing me?”

“As I said, you’re going to die sooner or later, either tomorrow or the day after, and drop dead at your desk. I’m just giving a push.”

Hearing her foreboding words, Yu Yunping opened his mouth, but was unable to scream.

“Who exactly are you? Are you an immortal?”

The young palace maid shook her head: “You wouldn’t want to know.”

“Tell me, will the Xia Country be ruined?” There was a glimmer of hope left in Yu Yunping’s eyes.

“No, it will continue in another way,” the young palace maid said, her gaze deep.

“That’s good…”

After uttering his words, Yu Yunping closed his eyes, clutching his chest, before him floated countless nights of reviewing the memorials.

“‘Ldppeu Lile  mecu LUe•dL swvv1Y Idueu.

The constantly worried Emperor Wen, who worked day and night, ultimately failed to bring prosperity to the Xia Country.

The young palace maid looked at the lean young Emperor, who now looked like a sleeping man on the desk, with almost not a ripple in her eyes.

Her figure slowly disappeared into the Main Hall.

The next day, the news of the death of the New Emperor in the Yangxin Palace quickly spread throughout the capital city.

The Court and the Commonalty were shocked!

Did the newly ascended Emperor of Xia Country just die within a year?

However, everyone had to accept this outcome.

The following day, all officials mourned and held a state funeral. However, due to the special period, the news was not released publicly.

Given the posthumous title Emperor Ai, with the temple title Wen Zong.

The short-lived and unfortunate referred as Ai.

Emperor Wen Zong, who had been in power for barely a year, had mostly experienced bad incidents and was ravaged by them.

The disaster of the once-in-a-decade great drought, the continually soaring prices, the resurgence of the remnants of Yan Country, and the unyielding Northern Alien Races.

No matter who it would have been, it would be an unfortunate ordeal. After the Emperor was enshrined, officials weeped, and the royal family watched.

But the Xia Country still existed, with tens of thousands of li territories behind, and a vast expanse of land and river, a country cannot go a day without a master.

Therefore, officials could only support the New Emperor’s five-year-old son to ascend the throne.

However, this time, the sky did not have the embodiment of national fortune.

Causing the already unstable political situation to become more turbulent.

Shanhai Pass.

Under the dense city, there were densely packed wolf cavalry. After the Northern Wolf Empire successfully occupied the ten states of the north, they set up their main camp here.

The continuous army was sent over from the Northern Wolf Empire’s to the north of the Gobi.

Sitting on the tiger skin imperial seat was a middle-aged man in a black wolf emperor’s robe with eagle eyes.

He paused with the wine glass in hand, as if sensing something, he looked up.

The moment when the emaciated Red-eyed Golden Dragon’s national fortune, which was guarding in the sky above the capital city thousands of li away, disappeared.

“Hahaha! Even the Xia Country has this day!”

The Wolf Emperor laughed wildly.

“Truly heaven is helping me!”

The Wolf Emperor scanned the savage warriors and soldiers in the big camp with his sharp eagle eyes, and shouted:

“Pass my command!”

“Follow me to hunt south!”

“Yes sir!”

Changning County.

The line of silver-armored white horses was neatly arranged.

Yu Qinghan was in a silver and white shining armor, highlighting her slim and straight back, her black long hair was tied up in a high ponytail.

A walking sword hung around her waist, she held a long halberd in her hand, her eyes were bright like a phoenix, and she looked heroic.

With such momentum, she really deserved to be a female warrior of a country.

“Sister, what happened?” Pei Xiangyun asked from the side.

They had been in Changning County for several days now, and they were about to set off. But she saw her sister standing still.

Yu Qinghan looked towards the north, her phoenix eyes full of heroic spirit, and said seriously:

“There’s been a mishap.”

“We must hurry, the matter of heading north cannot be delayed.”
