Chapter 1025 The Rescue
After the secret guards went down the secret passage, Luo Qingyan followed them behind. As the
secret passage was dug in a hurry, the surrounding walls were a little uneven. With a touch of his hand,
some scattered soil fell down, and some ces were muddy or even full of water.
In order to prevent the people in the passage from suffocating, they dug some holes leading to the
ground in some secret ces. The secret guards in front and behind held torches in their hands, and
no one spoke on the way. They were walking quietly and orderly.
Just as Luo Qingyan had said, the camp of the State of Yng was not far from the Lingxi City. But with
that mountain as a barrier, Cangjue Qingsu had nothing to fear.
After walking for about two hours, Luo Qingyan and the secret guards arrived at the exit. The secret
guards extinguished the torches in their hands and carefully poked their heads out. The exit was
surrounded by weeds, and no one was around. The secret guards went up to the ground one by one.
Only two people were left to protect Luo Qingyan in the secret passage.
Not far from the exit of the secret passage, there were tents one after another. Outside the tents, the
torches lit up the entire camp. The secret guards sent each other a secret signal, after which they used
Qinggong to dodge the patrolling soldiers and find their spy hidden in the army of Yng.
The spy quickly led the secret guards to the camp where Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling were locked up.
The outside of the camp was heavily guarded. Eight soldiers were guarding there, and a group of
soldiers patrolled around every fifteen minutes.
He led the secret guards over and talked to the soldier for a while in thenguage of the State of
Yng. The soldier looked at the secret guards for a few times before he nodded, took out the key and
opened the door.
The spy led the secret guards into the camp. The light was still on in the camp. Xia Huanyu was
reading a book, and Hua Ling was copying Buddhist scriptures. She looked a little rxed, as if she
was not imprisoned here.
Seeing that someone came in, Xia Huanyu frowned and looked a little unhappy, "It''s sote. Who
allows you toe in?"
The spy turned around and looked at the soldiers outside the tent. He snorted coldly, "Our king wants
to question you two. Come with us."
Hearing that, Xia Huanyu''s hand holding the book paused for a moment. He raised his head and
looked at the secret guard behind him. After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and put the
book aside. Then he looked up at Hua Ling and said, "Ling''er, let''s go."
Hua Ling nodded and put down the pen. When she walked out of the desk, Xia Huanyu reminded her
in a low voice, "Take your Buddha beads with you."
Hearing this, Hua Ling was slightly stunned, but she didn''t say anything. She turned around and took
the Buddha beads, and then walked out of the camp together with Xia Huanyu.
There were soldiers patrolling around, and all of them were on their guard. When they walked to the
back of a camp close to the edge, the spy breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the distance. "That''s
where you came just now..."
But before he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Stop!"
The expressions on everyone''s face changed a little. The secret guards secretly clenched the swords
on their waists. The spy quickly stepped forward, pushing the soldier of the State of Yng who came
over not far away. They talked to each other in thenguage of the State of Yng. The spy looked a
little unhappy, and nced at the person with a bit of contempt.
After quite a while, the man cupped his hands and left in a hurry. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh
of relief. They hurriedly pulled Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling towards the exit of the secret tunnel.
After carefully observing where they were, the spy turned around and walked out of the tent with a
torch in his hand. He then ran in the opposite direction and threw the torch away violently which lit the
tent at once. The fire was getting stronger and stronger. The spy shouted, "Fire! Fire rm!"
All of a sudden, the whole camp became lively. From thergest tent in the middle of the camp,
Cangjue Qingsu walked out, cursing.
"Where is the fire?" Cangjue Qingsu asked loudly.
Someone replied in a hurry, "King, it''s the barn. The barn is on fire."
Cangjue Qingsu cursed again and hurriedly said, "Go and fetch some water. If our food is burnt out,
we''ll all be hungry."
The camp of Yng was in chaos, but Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling had already gone into the dark tunnel.
Luo Qingyan held a torch in his hand and looked at them two quietly. Then he turned around and
walked back silently.
The secret guards protected Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling while following them closely. The road was
rugged and muddy, and it was a little difficult for Hua Ling to walk. As if knowing what was going on
behind, Luo Qingyan slowed down.
When they returned to the Chengshou Mansion, it was already dawn. As soon as Luo Qingyan went
out of the secret passage, he asked in a hurry, "Has the Empresse back?"
The secret guard standing aside answered, "Her majesty returned an hour ago."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and walked outside. He ordered casually, "Seal the tunnel and find a yard
to settle the people who just came back."
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the room.
When Luo Qingyan returned to his room, Yun Shang had already fallen asleep, with Bao''er sleeping in
her arms. Luo Qingyan gazed at Yun Shang, with a smile at the corners of his mouth. He stood by the
bed for a long time before he went out and gently ordered Pei Lan to bring water for him to take a bath
and brush his teeth.
Later, Luo Qingyany down on the bed and fell asleep next to Yun Shang.
When Yun Shang woke up, Luo Qingyan was reading a book behind the desk. Yun Shang rubbed her
eyes with a confused look. She touched the position beside her and found that Bao''er was no longer on
the bed. Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she asked, "Where is Bao''er?"
"Hua''er took him out for food," Luo Qingyan said softly.
Yun Shang nodded and sat up, "Is everything going well?"
"Everything goes well. They have been taken back."
"That''s good," Yun Shang stood up, paused for a while and said, "By the way, I''ve already punished
Wang Yuan."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly without saying anything. Then Yun Shang called Pei Lan in to help her
dress. After getting dressed, Pei Lan ordered someone to bring food in. Yun Shang sat at the table and
looked up at Pei Lan, "Have their former majesties got up? Have they had breakfast? "
Pei Lan nodded and said, "They''ve already had breakfast. They are ying chess in the yard now."
Hearing Pei Lan''s words, Luo Qingyan suddenly sneered. After a long time, hemented, "It seems
that they always enjoy themselves wherever they are."
Yun Shang kicked Luo Qingyan and scolded, "What are you raving about?"
Luo Qingyan stopped talking. After breakfast, he stood up and said to Yun Shang, "I''ll go out first.
Cangjue Qingsu will take action in the next two days. You should be ready to fight against our enemy."
Yun Shang nodded slightly in agreement. After Luo Qingyan went out, Yun Shang looked up at Pei Lan
and asked, "What happened? Why did his majesty look unhappy when their former majesties were
saved?"

Pei Lan was even more confused. She shook her head and guessed in a low voice, "I heard that when
the secret guards entered the enemy''s camp for rescue yesterday, one of them was reading while the
other was copying Buddhist scriptures. They were quite rxed. Is it because of this? "
Yun Shang was puzzled. After a long silence, she asked, "Which yard do his former majesty and her
former majesty live in?"
"It''s near the west garden," Pei Lan replied in a low voice, but she looked a little hesitant, as if she had
something to say.
Yun Shang frowned and asked, "Is there anything I don''t know?"
Pei Lan said in a hurry, "I don''t dare. But I heard that his majesty didn''t say a word to their former
majesties after they were rescued yesterday."
Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned more tightly, "His Majesty looks more like an angry child, but I don''t
know what''s matter with him."
After breakfast, Yun Shang asked Pei Lan to put away the bowls and chopsticks. Then she stood up
and went out of the room to the west garden. On the way, Yun Shang also asked the secret guards
about the detail of the rescue of Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling yesterday.
The cloth that had been set up on the garden had been put away, and the west garden had been
renovated. It looked much better than before. When Yun Shang walked to the gate of the yard, she saw
Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling sitting inside. Both of them were talking in a low voice, as if they were talking
about something.
As soon as Yun Shang entered the yard, they both seemed to have sensed that someone had entered.
They looked up at Yun Shang at the same time. Yun Shang stopped and sat down on an empty chair
opposite them. She smiled and said, "I''m sorry to have made Father and Mother suffer."
Xia Huanyu''s face froze for a moment. He slowly sat up straight and looked at Yun Shang. "Your
majesty is also in the Lingxi City?"
Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "Yes, his majesty and I were extremely worried when hearing the
news that Father and Mother were kidnapped by Cangjue Qingsu, so we hurried to the Lingxi City.
Fortunately, both Father and Mother are fine."
As Yun Shang spoke, she looked at Hua Ling. Hua Ling lowered her head and her eyshes trembled
slightly. Yun Shang smiled, "Bao''er is also here. Mother, do you want to see him? Mother and Father
have been away from the pce for more than five months, and Bao''er has grown up a lot. Now he
can sit and climb. "
Hearing this, Hua Ling looked up and smiled, "Okay, I''ll be there soon."
Yun Shang was happy to hear that, "Bao''er hasn''t seen Grandma for months. He must be very happy."
After a pause, she took a nce at the Buddha beads put on the stone table by Hua Ling, and quickly
looked away. She smiled and said, "In that case, I won''t bother you anymore. I''lle and have lunch
with Father and Motherter."
After saying that, Yun Shang stood up with a smile and walked out of the yard.
After returning to her own yard, Yun Shang looked up at the clouds in the sky and smiled, "I know why
his majesty is angry."
