A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Once everyone had entered the secret passage, it was completely sealed off to prevent anyone from finding out and coming after them.

Because the secret passage was in the Empress Dowager's palace, the eunuchs and maids serving in those two palaces also followed them down the secret passage. However, they could not keep an eye on the palaces that were further away.

In a tense yet orderly atmosphere, they walked carefully through the secret passage!

The Empress and Empress Dowager walked briskly forward, supported by palace maids, followed closely by a palace maid carrying the little prince and Princess Ye Churan being carried by her!

The secret passage was dark and damp, filled with an old and worn atmosphere, but they dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest and remained highly alert at all times.

Finally, after a long trek, they successfully emerged from the secret passage and arrived at a courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, and the surrounding environment is quiet, seemingly far away from the noise and danger of the outside world.

Because Ye Qingzhao stormed the palace at night, Cheng Ying's maternal uncle Chen Han and Liu Haoyang's elder brother Liu Yuyang were also in the palace.

Because they were martial arts practitioners, they were very vigilant. As soon as something happened in the palace, they quickly got up and, together with the left and right generals, escorted the Empress Dowager and the Empress out of the palace.

Fortunately, they caught up with the retreating troops of the two generals as soon as they came out, otherwise they would definitely have been captured by Ye Qingzhao.

This compound has a large basement that can easily house several thousand people, and it is regularly maintained.

There was enough food and water inside to last for half a year, so they could hide there for a while and were temporarily safe.

The people living in the houses upstairs are also very reliable; they will be there to help you at any time!

To be on the safe side, the two generals assigned several more men to act as guards and servants for the courtyard, instructing them to keep a close watch on any activity outside and to inform them of any danger.

In the underground chamber, the Empress Dowager and the Empress were in one room. The Empress Dowager was very angry because of Ye Qingzhao's sudden rebellion.

"I never imagined that Prince Gong would harbor such wolfish ambitions! I underestimated him."

Empress Li Jinyao calmed down at this point.

She said to the Empress Dowager, "Mother, we must inform the Emperor about this matter as soon as possible so that he can return and deal with it!"

The Empress Dowager finally snapped out of her anger and said, "Right, contact the Emperor immediately. Oh, and where's my cell phone? Have you taken it out?"

The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, seemingly having forgotten to bring it out in their haste.

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager and the Empress's expressions turned grim. They hadn't even taken out their most important possession, their cell phones. How were they supposed to contact the Emperor now?

The Empress Dowager realized that this wouldn't work. Since she couldn't rely on the mobile phone, she had no choice but to consult with the generals.

So the Empress Dowager instructed her attendants to summon the two Grand Generals to discuss the matter.

Chen Han and Liu Yuyang followed behind. After they entered, they bowed to the Empress and the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked at the newcomer and said, "We were careless this time. We didn't expect that brat Ye Qingzhao would pull such a trick."

The two generals, along with Chen Han, Liu Yuyang, and a group of officers, all knelt down to apologize.

"Your Majesty, we are so sorry that you and the Empress have suffered!"

The Empress glanced at the Empress Dowager and quickly said, "Generals, there's no need to blame yourselves. This time, they outnumbered us, and we couldn't fight a losing battle. Our decision to withdraw beforehand was the best one."

The Empress Dowager quickly added, "Yes, I don't blame you. Please get up. Now we need to find a way to inform the Emperor about this. Staying here is not a long-term solution."

"It's a pity that the Empress and I didn't take out our cell phones in the rush we left, otherwise we could have told the Emperor right now."

"Now we need to ask the generals to think of a way to get out of the city and inform the Emperor."

Chen Han and Liu Yuyang were surprised to learn that the Empress Dowager and the Empress also had cell phones, but they didn't take them out immediately. But they did!

The two men exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We, Chen Han and Liu Yuyang, pay our respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress."

Although the Empress Dowager did not know what the two had in mind, she still said, "You two don't need to be so polite. Just say what you have to say."

Chen Han cupped his hands and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Empress, we have cell phones. We will inform the Emperor now. Please wait a moment, Empress Dowager and Your Majesty the Empress!"

When the Empress Dowager and the Empress heard that they had cell phones, they were overjoyed. "Good, good, then quickly inform the Emperor. This is wonderful!"

The other generals, though they didn't understand what a cell phone was, silently watched the two of them.

In order to contact the Emperor more quickly, one of them contacted Cheng Ying and the other contacted Liu Haoyang.

After ringing a few times, the video call connected.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Han immediately asked, "Tong'er, where are you now? Is the Emperor here?"

"Uncle, what happened? Why are you calling me at this hour?" Cheng Ying asked, still a little confused.

She checked the time; it was only a little past 2 a.m. For someone to video call her at this hour, something must have happened.
