Madam General, please run slower.

But Yu Xun eventually became so crazy that it was beyond Wei Xianchen's expectations.

After becoming the regent, Yu Xun worked hard and there were many royalists in the court, led by Qu Shi. Just when everyone thought that the situation was stable and everything was moving in a good direction, Yu Xun surprised everyone.

Wei Xianchen knew that Yu Xun was crazy because Yu Xiaochen came to him crying for help.

After hearing Yu Xiaochen's intermittent accounts of Yu Xun's earth-shaking deeds, Wei Xianchen almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"No, what did you just say? Not only did your uncle resign from the position of regent, but he also put himself in jail?"

"Yes... yes. I was wondering why my uncle left court so late today. It was not until His Majesty secretly sent someone to the palace to inform me that I learned about this."

Yu Xiaochen was sobbing. "Your Majesty said that my uncle suddenly confessed his guilt in the court. He was completely unable to react in front of everyone. We can only follow the regulations and temporarily put him in jail to await interrogation. Uncle Xianchen, what do you think we should do?"

"He's crazy, he's really crazy!" Wei Xianchen paced anxiously and quickly asked someone to call Wei Shiliu.

But when he saw the dark circles under Wei Shiliu's eyes, he knew something was wrong. "About your master?"

"I know everything. And..." Wei Shiliu pointed at Yu Xiaochen who was lying on the table crying and said, "The general is no longer our master. Xiaochen is now our master."

"Me?!" Yu Xiaochen raised his head in shock, snot and tears flowing uncontrollably.

"No, when did this happen?" Wei Xianchen scratched his head in annoyance. He said that why Yu Xun had been so well-behaved recently, and he thought he had become normal, but it turned out that he was holding back a big thing.

"The general recalled all the secret guards three months ago and told them about this. The general should have started planning for this a long time ago." Because of Yu Xun's matter, Wei Shiliu hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Yu Xiaochen happened to be here, so Wei Shiliu didn't have to make an extra trip. He took out the whistle from his arms and handed it to him. "This is a bone whistle. It can be used to command the secret guards. Keep it. From today on, there will be secret guards on duty around you in turn. You can call them out to do things at any time. By the way, I have taken back my personal contract, so I am not included in your secret guards."

Yu Xiaochen felt that the cold bone whistle was extremely hot and didn't want to accept it at all. "If your uncle goes crazy, are you going crazy too? Hurry up and find a way to save him!"

Wei Shiliu forcefully stuffed the bone whistle into Yu Xiaochen's arms and pointed at his dark circles. "See? I've tried my best. Unless the little princess comes out and beats up the general now, no one can save him."

"What about Yu's army? He doesn't care about them anymore?" Wei Xianchen couldn't understand why Yu Xun suddenly had no attachment to this world.

"The Yu Family Army has been handed over to General Wu Huang for full responsibility."

"What about your prince at that time? Does he know about this?"

"He just found out about it and is on his way to the capital."

"That's good, that's good." Wei Xianchen breathed a sigh of relief. "They are said to have a good relationship, right? If the prince can persuade Yu Xun then, he should be able to figure it out."

"It's useless, because the general said the little princess likes dead people..."

Wei Shiliu's words stunned the two people present for a moment. They didn't react to what he meant. In the end, it was Wei Xianchen who thought faster and pointed out the key.

"The boss said she likes dead people, so Yu Xun wants to die?" Wei Xianchen couldn't help but raise his tone when he said this, and his voice became much sharper. It was the first time for him to feel what a sober madman was like at such a close distance.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Wei Shiliu spread his hands to express his speechlessness. "From personal experience, don't try to reason with a madman, unless you are crazier than him."

Wei Xianchen's mouth twitched slightly, and he reached out and patted the stunned Yu Xiaochen, "Be good, Xiaochen, there are so many people in the pavilion, we don't need an uncle like him."

Yu Xiaochen: …What should I do if he wants to cry even more?

Another person who wanted to cry was Qu Shi, who was dealing with the ministers in the palace.

When Yu Xun lost power, many ministers who were usually unhappy with him couldn't help but rush over and step on him. Yu Xun directly put Qu Shi on the fire.

After breaking several brushes, Qu Shi was so angry that he overturned the memorials on the table. He should have given up the throne to Yu Xun regardless of his wishes, and there would be no need for all the ministers to write a joint memorial. Now he was the one who wanted to behead Yu Xun the most.

"To the dungeon."

Qu Shi left a word and walked out. The frightened palace maids beside him hurried down to prepare the sedan chair for the trip.

The dungeon was filled with the smell of dampness and decay.

Yu Xun, who had caused a sensation in the outside world, was leaning against the cold stone wall with his eyes closed, his face showing no sign of panic or anxiety. His hands were casually placed on his knees, and the crude wooden hairpin in his hands became his comfort.

There were many broken pieces of wood piled at his feet, and one could vaguely make out the shape of hairpins.

The air in the dungeon was filled with chill and oppression, but Yu Xun's breathing was still steady, as if he had reached a subtle harmony with the environment. If you didn't know better, you would think this was his home.

Because Qu Shi had specifically instructed him to do so, Yu Xun's treatment in the dungeon was not bad. The jailer also knew the regent's reputation, so he gave Yu Xun almost everything he wanted.

Seeing this, Qu Shi was furious. He was reading memorials in the imperial study and was about to vomit blood, but this guy came to the dungeon to practice manual work.

"The Regent is so free." Qu Shi spoke with some gritted teeth.

"I have resigned as regent, Your Majesty, you should change your mind." Yu Xun glanced at him lightly and closed his eyes again.

"You can resign just because you want to. I didn't agree to this!"

"It doesn't matter if Your Majesty disagrees. The court officials won't agree anyway. It's not worth it to lose the support of the people because of me, Your Majesty."

Qu Shi was so angry that he had a headache, but he really couldn't do anything about him, "I have given you all the power and status, what else do you want to do?"

"I didn't do anything. I was just making a bet with the heaven." Yu Xun said as he unconsciously began to rub the wooden hairpin in his hand.

"Why are you still gambling with your life?" Qu Shi snorted lightly. He really couldn't understand what this man was thinking.

"Yes, it's a gamble with your life."

"You are really crazy!" Qu Shi couldn't help but growl, "Are you doing this to your sister?"

"Will she... come back?" Yu Xun laughed softly, "I almost forgot that I am still her husband on the surface. Although she doesn't care, I still need to trouble Your Majesty to write me a letter of divorce on behalf of the princess."

"You!" Qu Shi also laughed. He was so angry that he laughed. "You really want to die, right? I will satisfy you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."

Seeing him like this, Qu Shi didn't want to say any more to him and left the dungeon in anger.

After Qu Shi left, Yu Xun started grinding wood again. Everyone in the dungeon had long been accustomed to the "rustling" sound of wood coming from Yu Xun's cell from time to time, and they were more and more convinced that the regent was crazy.
