Chapter 688 Rushed To The Emperor''s Rescue


    Perhaps it was because of someone taking the lead that not long after, ten more people signed up. The


    middle-aged man said that they would take ten people in a round, and then asked everyone to begin


    preparing.


    Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang, and meditated for a moment before saying, "Wait for me on the


    bank. Don''t walk around. Try not to be too close to the crowds."


    Yun Shang smiled while replying, "Okay."


    Luo Qingyan got on the boat alone. There were festiventerns hanging at the bow and the stern. The


    festiventerns were also lotusmps, but the lotusmps in the middle of theke were more exquisite


    and bigger.


    There were a row of festiventerns on each boat from the shore all the way to the middle of theke.


    Lantern riddles were hanging under each of thenterns. Yun Shang smiled at Luo Qingyan and


    wondered how he looked when he was rowing the boat.


    But before Luo Qingyan picked up the oar, the boat had already moved. Yun Shang frowned but soon


    she realized what happened. Yun Shang couldn''t help but curl her lips and thought that Luo Qingyan


    was shameless and took advantage of the middle-aged man. That man only said that those would win


    if they arrived at the center of theke first and took back the lotusmps. But he didn''t make clear that


    they had to paddle to the center of theke. So Luo Qingyan used his internal force to drive the boat


    forward, stopped before thentern and looked at the riddle hanging under thentern in his hand.


    But the other participants were much more embarrassed. They had to row with oars in their hands.


    When they reached thentern, they had to stop the boat to read the riddles. Some even couldn''t row


    very well, so they couldn''t get close to thentern at all. Their boats kept spinning in theke, so they


    were in a hurry.


    Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing. Suddenly, she felt someone was looking at her. The eyesight was


    too sharp that Yun Shang couldn''t help but stop smiling. She turned her head in the direction of the


    gaze.


    Yun Shang''s eyesight met the man''s gaze.


    She was taken aback. She was surprised why he was here. Yun Shang took a look at the woman


    behind him, and the woman made a few gestures to her. Yun Shang frowned and kept silent for a long


    time. Then she walked towards the man.


    "Your Majesty..." Yun Shang was about to say something when she was stopped by the man''s eyes.


    "It''s the Lantern Festival. I juste out to have a look. You guys just y.Don''t worry about me." Xia


    Huanyu looked somewhat cold on his face, and his eyes were on Luo Qingyan on the boat in theke.


    He paused, and turned to look at Yun Shang. "You''re pregnant. You must take care of yourself."


    Yun Shang nodded slightly and exchanged a knowing look with Ning Qian who was standing beside


    Xia Huanyu. As soon as he finished saying that, he turned around, intending to go to the other side.


    Yun Shang looked at Xia Huanyu walk away and before she had taken two steps, she heard screaming


    from theke. She quickly turned around. Suddenly there were about forty to fifty men in ck rushing


    out of theke. They brandished their swords at Luo Qingyan.


    Yun Shang was startled and shouted in a hurry, "Guards, go and help!" All of a sudden, more than


    twenty guards in ck flew towards theke.


    Xia Huanyu also wanted to ask the guards hiding in the crowd to help Luo Qingyan, but Yun Shang


    hurriedly stopped him, "No. Your Majesty."


    Xia Huanyu looked at her and stopped.


    The people and peddlers around theke were shocked by the sudden incident. They ran around in a


    hurry, and for a moment, there were cries and screams.


    Seeing peopleing in their direction, Yun Shang quickly protected Xia Huanyu and stayed on the


    side of the corner. The guards dressed up as ordinary people all came to surround Xia Huanyu in the


    middle.


    But there were too many people. The crowd squeezed them back. So Yun Shang shouted, "Go to the


    roof."


    The attendants protecting Xia Huanyu soon understood and jumped onto the roof with Xia Huanyu and


    Ning Qian. Yun Shang jumped onto the roof as well. Getting out of the crowd atst, Yun Shang fixed


    her eyes on theke. Although the number of the enemies wasrge, Xia Huanyu was good at martial


    arts. In addition, he was also followed by two dozen secret guards, so he was not at a disadvantage.


    Yun Shang calmed down a little. Then she saw dozens of assassins, who were also hiding among the


    crowds, suddenly jumped up and rushed towards them with swords. Dozens of guards were around Xia


    Huanyu. With more than twenty people by her side, Yun Shang trotted forward and fought with the


    assassins.


    Ignoring Xia Huanyu''s askance, Yun Shang drew out the dagger quickly with one hand and held the


    silver needle in her sleeve with the other hand.


    In a sh, a pink figure shed in front of Xia Huanyu. Before he could see clearly, Yun Shang had


    already appeared in the group of the assassins. She struck the dagger precisely in her hands. In a blink


    of an eye, three men had been killed.


    It seemed that the enemy around Yun Shang were the main forces. There were many assassins


    pouncing on three of them.


    Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Xia Huanyu frowned and ordered loudly,


    "Protect Lady Rui well!"

    Before long, about two hundred assassins surrounded them three. The bodyguards and secret guards


    also found it a little difficult to deal with them. Yun Shang nced at the situation on theke. Under the


    cover of secret guards, Luo Qingyan was about to break free from the assassins ande to them.


    In the blink of an eye, Luo Qingyan stood in front of Yun Shang and protected her behind him. He


    brandished his long sword, and ordered Yun Shang, "You go back."


    Yun Shang was unwilling to do so. Crowds around had long disappeared. She seemed to hear


    footsteps and guessed that there were many peopleing. Yun Shang frowned. If the assassins


    outnumbered them, they might not be able to stop them. Yun Shang took out the white jade whistle


    from her sleeve and blew it for help.


    The footsteps got closer and closer, and Yun Shang found that the seventh prince was in the lead. Far


    away from them, the voice of the seventh prince was heard. He shouted unprecedentedly, "Hurry up!


    Save His Majesty! Protect His Majesty! "


    Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, it was good that they were not the assassins.


    The seventh prince and his men quickly joined in the battle. After a while, the assassins looked a bit


    dispirited. Yun Shang observed the situation and sent a message to her guards with her white jade


    flute, telling them not toe.


    The assassins were all killed in less than a quarter after the seventh prince arrived.


    The seventh prince went to Xia Huanyu in a hurry and knelt down. "It''s toote to help. Please pardon


    me, Father."
