The two of them went down the dark passage, it was very dark inside, but there were people from the Wind Sect holding torches for lighting, so it did not affect the passage, the soil was newly turned, a smell of damp land came, and the cave wall was not very regular, it seemed that this was a project dug out in a hurry.

"Yun'er, after knowing that you were trapped in the Thunderbolt Hall of Qixian Palace, I ordered someone to dig this tunnel to rescue you." Qingying explained.

"I'm glad you thought of this way to save me, otherwise, even if you get to Perak, you won't be able to save me. The iron cage made of thousand-year-old black iron, you can't open it, the mechanism settings are all in Yan Yujun's hands, and no one else can open it except him. Situ Nanyun's eyes flashed with appreciation.

"There was a group of people who went to Qixian Palace before, and they were also sent by you?" She thought about something, and then asked.

"Yes, the people who went were Aoki and them, mainly the people who led Yan Yujun away, and covered up the voices coming from below, so that my side could go smoothly." Qingying replied.

"Then they..."

"They just led away the guards, and the light skills were very good, and besides, there were people from the Wind Sect outside, so there was no big problem, and they all escaped."

Out of the tunnel, they had reached the eastern edge of the hunting grounds, where the trees were green and the birds were singing.

Situ Nanyun took a breath of fresh air outside, and then she really felt the taste of freedom, and the tiredness of not closing her eyes for a few days and nights seemed to disappear, she stretched her waist, patted the dirt on her body, and asked Qingying behind her, "Where is this?" ”

In order to prevent Yan Yujun's men and horses from chasing after him, Qingying was blocking the exit of the cave with a group of people.

Qingying stuffed the last stone into the hole, clapped his hands and finished the work, answered Situ Nanyun's question, and also said the rest of the itinerary by the way, "This is the royal hunting ground, not far in front of the Qingming River, after crossing this river, and then through a dark passage, you can go out of the east corner gate of the palace, and walk a few steps to reach the green grass slope near the east market." ”

"How did you come up with such a complicated and hidden route with only two or three days, and dig tunnels?" Situ Nanyun was very curious.

"Yun'er, in fact, I can successfully rescue you, Yan Yuchi still helped a lot." Qingying told the truth.

Situ Nanyun's face suddenly swelled with a layer of surprise.

This Yan Yuchi is not out of Yandu, how could he suddenly appear here?

However, she was silent, waiting for Qingying to continue.

"He heard that you fell into the hands of Yan Yujun, so he managed to find out where you were being held, and then designed the best rescue route for us, so that we could rescue you in such a short time." Qingying continued.

Situ Nanyun's mood was a little complicated, both moved and apologetic, and asked, "What about others?" ”

Yan Yuchi himself was in a difficult situation, and he didn't need to take such a risk for her, this affection made Situ Nanyun a little pressured, and he didn't know how to repay it in the future.

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice suddenly came into her ears, "Yun'er, don't ask, I'm here." ”

As he spoke, Yan Yuchi had already jumped from the tree.

Seeing Yan Yuchi again after a half-year absence and safe and sound, Situ Nanyun was very relieved, her clear spring-like eyes flashed with brilliance, "Your Highness, it's so good to see you, thank you for saving me." ”

The corners of Yan Yuchi's mouth hooked, and a pair of shallow pear nests were revealed, "It's a friend, don't say thank you, and besides, if you are kind to me, I can be regarded as repaying the favor." ”

"Repay the favor? Where does this begin? Situ Nanyun wondered.

Seeing that they were going to have a long chat, Qingying patted Yan Yuchi on the shoulder, "Your Highness, in my opinion, let's leave here first, the people of the third prince found that Yun'er was missing, and they would quickly find this place according to that secret passage." ”

Yan Yuchi nodded, "Yun'er, let's talk as we go." ”

So a group of people left the royal hunting ground and headed in the direction of the Qingming River.

The surface of the Qingming River is not wide, only ten meters wide, a few people flew across the river, walked more than ten steps along the river, and then came to a dirt slope, pushed aside the green grass on the slope, and a secret passage appeared in front of everyone.

A group of people entered the secret passage, which was flanked by smooth stone walls and paved with green bricks underground.

"It seems that this is an ancient secret tunnel, I'm afraid it's hundreds of years old." Situ Nanyun couldn't help but guess.

"Well, it looks like so." Yan Yuchi said.

This cave and the underground passage of the royal hunting ground are one, they are both royal escape top secret passages, he can't say it to the outside world, he can only vaguely say it.

After walking in the dark passage for about a stick of incense, they came out, and when they came out, they came to a small hill covered with grass, which was the grassy slope near the East City.

"It turns out that you told Qingying the news that I was trapped in Qixian Palace, thank you again." After listening to the cause and effect, Situ Nanyun said to Yan Yuchi with a smile.

"I should thank you, thank you for helping the queen teach Shuguifei a lesson, the queen is my adoptive mother, she treats me as her own, she is the only person I care about in the palace, you are kind to her, you are kind to me." Although Yan Yuchi was smiling and talking, when he said about the queen, his eyes flashed with melancholy.

"After all, the queen has experienced strong winds and waves, and she looks down on everything, although the days in the cold palace are not easy, but she is very strong, and in addition, there is Mama Li around to take care of her, so you don't have to worry too much, and according to my understanding of Concubine Shugui, she wants to show her scenery in front of the queen, without the queen, she has no 'sharing' object, so the queen will not be in danger of life for the time being."

"However, I guess the person who really worries her is probably you, and she is worried about your safety." Situ Nanyun saw that Yan Yuchi was silent, and continued.

"She's okay, I'm relieved." Yan Yuchi retracted his worried thoughts and smiled.

"Oh, by the way, how did you get back to Yandu?" Situ Nanyun asked.

"That's a long story......"

Yan Yuchi recounted what happened after the palace coup.

After listening to Yan Yuchi's story, Situ Nanyun was quite shocked, "You mean, it was Lin Yuexi who sent troops to block Xueya Mountain, preventing you from going to Damu to move rescue troops, and also led troops to pursue you, how is this possible?" Could it be ......?"

"Lin Yuexi has taken refuge in the devil, and according to the information I received before, he also sent people to attack Princess Damu Yulin, so we were prepared and didn't confront him head-on, otherwise where would my five hundred people be the opponent of his five thousand soldiers? also happened to pick up a life and fled back to Yandu. Yan Yuchi said with a solemn expression.

Situ Nanyun felt that the situation was getting more and more complicated, "Then do you have any news about Princess Yulin." ”

"I think, her situation should not be optimistic, Yulin only brought a hundred people with her entourage at that time, when she passed through Xueya Mountain, Lin Yuexi took five thousand elite soldiers to guard there, only one hundred people, how can she fight against an army of five thousand people? Unless she has three heads and six arms, she can't escape from Lin Yuexi's encirclement. When Yan Yuchi said this, a layer of sadness surged on his face.

"I hope she's okay."

Although Situ Nanyun doesn't like this "rival in love" very much, it is related to Tianyan's overall etiquette, and she doesn't want Yulin to have an accident.

"Let's hope so, I haven't heard anything from her yet, no news is good news, maybe she's still alive." Yan Yuchi seemed to be a little more relaxed.

Situ Nanyun nodded, but saw that Qingying and the others were not surprised at all by the Lin Yuexi incident in Northern Xinjiang, and their puzzled eyes shone on the faces of several people, "Strange, you guys...... Qingying, why are you so calm about the changes in Northern Xinjiang? ”

"Yun'er, why do you want me to be surprised? I'm as old and stable as I am, and you don't know that. Qingying replied dryly.

"It's not normal, Lin Yuexi took refuge in the third prince Yan Yujun, what about Beiweihou, where did he go, why didn't he stop it? With such a big change in northern Xinjiang, you shouldn't be so calm, right...... You already know, and ...... Qingyue, did she leave the villa suddenly, was it because of something in the northern Xinjiang? Situ Nanyun thought of the recent incident, and suddenly understood something.

A hesitant expression flashed across Qingying's face.

"If you don't answer, are you acquiescing? Tell me what's going on in the north. Situ Nanyun asked further.

"Yun'er, don't speculate, there is a little mess in Northern Xinjiang, Hou Ye happened to go out and didn't know, Qingyue is to assist Hou Ye in dealing with this matter." Qingying explained.

"No, Qingying, you should have something else to hide from me, dealing with Lin Yuexi's defection to Yan Yujun is a family matter of Beiweihou, Qingyue, as an outsider, is not at the scene, how can you meddle in it? Moreover, with the keenness of Beiweihou, Lin Yuexi privately led troops to intercept Princess Yulin, making such a big move, can he not know? It was enough to realize it once, but later it happened that Lin Yuexi pursued the Fifth Highness, which shows that Beiweihou didn't know about Lin Yuexi's affairs at all, otherwise, he wouldn't let it happen again and again. Then it seems that there are two possibilities, either Beiweihou is not in Northern Xinjiang and is beyond the reach of the whip, or he is in Northern Xinjiang but something has happened and he is powerless if he knows it. Situ Nanyun peeled off the doubts and analyzed them one by one.

After a pause, she fixed her eyes on Qingying's complicated face, and said with concern: "Qingying, tell me the truth, tell me what happened in Northern Xinjiang?" ”

"Yun'er, you are pregnant now, don't worry so much, there is Qingyue in the northern Xinjiang, she will take care of it." The slightest trace of sweat on Qingying's forehead, he wiped it, didn't dare to look at her again, and looked away.

Hearing that Situ Nanyun was pregnant, at this time, the expression on Yan Yuchi's face froze slightly, and two faint sparks fell on her face in her eyes, "Yun'er is pregnant?" ”

Situ Nanyun nodded.

"Lin Yuelan's child?" As soon as Yan Yuchi spoke, he regretted asking this stupid question.

Situ Nanyun said "um".

She still didn't come out of her thoughts about the accident in Northern Xinjiang, and she was annoyed that Qingying didn't tell the truth.

Yan Yuchi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Also, who else can there be besides Lin Yuelan, I'm stupid to ask, isn't it?" ”
