Yun Shang lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty is the emperor of Xia, and my concubine is the queen of Xia. If we all abandon the city and flee, it will inevitably cause panic. Although Your Majesty has mobilized all the people who can be mobilized to rescue people and relieve disasters, but, There are still very few people left in the palace to protect the safety of His Majesty and his concubines."
"Besides, it's an eventful autumn, and His Majesty and his concubines must also guard the palace to order the court and reassure the people."
Xia Huanyu thoughtfully, raised his eyes and glanced at Yunshang lightly, pondered for a moment before saying: "No matter what you want to do, you have to die to do it, don't you think?"
Yun Chang nodded: "Yes, both my concubine and Your Majesty know about it. Don't worry, Father, we will protect ourselves and not cause trouble easily. After all, as Father said, we still have a lot of things to do, and we want to Do it. There are people we want to protect, and scenery we want to see. There are so many concerns in the world, so naturally we won’t make fun of our own lives.”
Xia Huanyu didn't say any more, just raised his hand, and pushed the chess basket with the white pieces in front of Yunshang.
Yun Chang smiled and didn't refuse. She picked up the chess pieces, glanced at the endgame on the chessboard, pondered for a while, and then started to move the pieces.
Hua Ling packed her things in the inner hall, remembering how Xia Huanyu and Yunshang were at war before, she was still a little worried after all, so she walked lightly, walked quietly to the door and poked her head out to look out. Then I saw that the two people who were facing each other just now had started to play chess in silence. Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was still considered relaxed, as if they were not the ones who started arguing just after a disagreement.
"..." Hua Ling laughed, shook her head slightly, and returned to the inner hall.
Yunshang accompanied Xia Huanyu to the end of the game, but Xia Huanyu knew that Yunshang must have a lot of things, so he let her go.
Yun Shang returned to the palace, only retreated left and right, and started to pack things by herself without any hands.
Around midnight, Yun Chang had already turned off the lights and rested, when she heard a sound coming from behind the bed.
Yun Chang turned her head, a door suddenly appeared behind the bed, a luminous pearl lit up, and Luo Qingyan's figure appeared at the door.
Yun Chang blinked, lowered her voice and asked, "Why did Your Majesty come out here? Why didn't you go through the main hall door?"
Luo Yan smiled lightly: "I arranged for someone to pretend to be me in the Tai Chi Hall."
Yun Chang understood and nodded: "Then my side..."
"I've already made arrangements, but everything is packed? Let's go now."
Yun Shang nodded, and took the packed things away: "Peilan, Hua'er and the others..."
"Xia Houjing's target is us. In order to stabilize the harem, they will not kill wantonly, and they will not be in danger. And I have left people in the palace. If Xia Houjing has thoughts that he shouldn't have, he will Someone took them away immediately."
Yun Chang responded, lifted the bed curtain, and followed Luo Qingyan into the secret passage.
The secret passage was very long, and the two did not leave the secret passage until dawn.
Outside the secret road is a forest.
Because of the snow that has just fallen, the mountains and forests are covered with white snow.
Yun Chang looked around, but only saw a vast expanse of whiteness, and couldn't distinguish anything clearly.
Yun Chang frowned: "Where is this?"
"North of the city."
Yunshang was a little strange: "Isn't Qishan the avalanche? Isn't Qishan in the east of the city? What are we going to the north for?"
Luo Qingyan smiled: "If Xia Houjing finds out that we are not in the palace, what would be the first guess?"
Yun Shang paused for a moment, and immediately came back to her senses: "The first reaction is that we used the excuse of disaster relief to save people, and left the palace among the soldiers who went to disaster relief, and arrived at Qishan."
"The Qishan area is in chaos, it is the best place to hide people."
Luo Qingyan nodded: "Yes, Qishan is in chaos, and it happens to be a place to hide people. Everyone thinks so, not only you and me, but also Xia Houjing."
Yun Chang understood, and Luo Qingyan said that he wanted to do the opposite.
Luo Qingyan gathered the cloak on Yunshang's body, and pulled Yunshang forward: "This is the north of the city, although there are some dense forests here, but there are no high mountains, there will be no avalanches, and the place is sparsely populated. No one will notice if we stay here."
"A long time ago, I asked someone to select some Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the city, in case of emergency, and now it is just in use."
"Everything in Zhuangzi is ready." Luo Qingyan squeezed Yunshang's hand tightly: "Every day, someone will pass all the news from the court, inside and outside Jincheng, and around Qishan, waiting for us to make a decision. "
"There are countless organs around Zhuangzi, and there are secret passages extending in all directions below..."
Hearing this, Yunshang stopped suddenly: "Is there a secret road extending in all directions under Zhuangzi?"
Luo Qingyan turned his head and glanced at Yunshang: "Yes."
"Then why do we keep walking like this?"
Luo Qingyan had an obvious smile in his eyes: "No one, I just want to show you the scenery along the way around this village."
Yun Chang glared at Luo Qingyan, and Luo Qingyan laughed.
The two arrived at Zhuangzi together with the hidden guards. As Luo Qingyan said, Zhuangzi's place is extremely hidden, but there are many traps around, and there are many hidden guards ambushing.
As soon as the two entered the room, Luo Qingyan pulled Yunshang down the secret room.
In the secret room, there are countless bookshelves, and there are many letters on the bookshelves. There are secret guards rushing back and forth in the secret room, placing letters on different shelves.
There were also people who took apart the letters and read them one by one, then extracted and recorded the most important things inside.
Yun Shang was a little surprised: "I'm afraid it took ten days and a half months to complete these things. When did you do this? Why didn't I know?"
Luo Qingyan raised his hand and rubbed Yun Shang's hair: "Well, I also have my own secret."
Yun Shang supported her forehead: "Okay, okay, you have your own secret."
Luo Qingyan sat down with Yunshang, and a secret guard held a piece of paper and handed it to Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan looked at the ten lines at a glance, and then nodded: "Last night, Xia Houjing didn't attack the city. It's just that there were some faint movements in the city..."
"Abnormal?"
"Well, it doesn't seem like a very obvious change, but for example, the business of restaurants and tea shops has improved, and more people go to Fireworks and Willow Lane at night."
Yunshang paused slightly, and raised her head: "A large part of the people in the city are now Xia Houjing's people. Suddenly, there are more people in these crowds, but Xia Houjing's people are sending messages openly and secretly?"
