Under the orders of the prince, Chen Guo, the sirens of the Guards, immediately ordered the mobilization of the guards near the Heavenly Dao Hall. Except for the necessary soldiers who blocked the doors and key roads, all other troops were mobilized to the Heavenly Dao Hall and surrounded the Heavenly Dao Hall. The officials, gentry and art troupes in the square were also ordered to wait on the spot and not walk around at will, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

The prince and his officials quickly moved to Juxian Palace under the escort of soldiers. The queen looked distraught, but under the persuasion of Zhou Ting and other officials, she left the Heavenly Dao Palace and returned to the East Palace of Juxian Palace. In order to beware of the queen's grief, the prince ordered Liuli to stay by the queen's side to take care of her.

The emperor was already lost his breath. Surrounded by the sacred lieutenant, he moved the emperor's body to Juxian Temple for temporary settlement. The Heavenly Dao Hall was in a mess. After the prince and everyone evacuated, the guards immediately entered the hall and began to search every corner of the Heavenly Dao Hall. This time, there were dozens of sacred lieutenants who accompanied him. In addition to leaving some to protect the prince, a group of coordinated guards also divided into searches for the Heavenly Dao Hall.

In the Juxian Palace, the prince obviously had not recovered from the shock. His face was not bloody and his expression was extremely solemn. Zhou Ting and other officials were still shocked and looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressed. After a long time, the prince suddenly thought of something, jumped up with his eyebrows and said, "Secret Way!"

Everyone was stunned. Before they understood the prince's meaning, the prince had already explained: "The assassin arranged by Feng Yuanpo suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Dao Hall. They would never have been able to interfere with the inspection of the Guards... Yes, they sneaked into the hall from the secret passage. The Heavenly Dao Hall must have a secret passage that can go directly outside the Heavenly Dao Palace. Feng Yuanpo must have escaped from that secret passage."

Everyone suddenly realized that Zhou Ting had already said, "Your Highness, if that's the case, is Chu Huan and the others possible to find that secret passage?"

"Chu Huan and Chi Liandian are both cunning people. Since this is what I think of, they naturally already thought of it." The prince sneered: "The smoke in the hall makes us unable to see anything clearly, but Chi Liandian and Chu Huan are both martial arts masters, and their skill in distinguishing positions by listening to sound is naturally not bad... The guards guarded the Heavenly Dao Palace, so they naturally knew that it was impossible to rush out of the Heavenly Palace, so they focused on Feng Yuanpo's opportunity to escape...!"

"What Your Highness said is very much." Lin Yuanfang bent and said without a chance: "Since they know that Feng Yuanpo knows the entrance to the secret passage, they naturally know that Feng Yuanpo will definitely use the secret passage to escape. As long as they keep an eye on Feng Yuanpo, they will have a chance to escape."

Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "Where did General Xuanyuan and Qinglong Qianhu go? And King Garuluo and His Royal Highness, where did they go?"

"Jingyun is afraid that it has fallen into their hands. Perhaps it was King Garulu who kidnapped Jingyun." The prince's eyes were like a knife, "Xuanyuan's martial arts skills are very good, and Qinglong is extremely agile. They must have discovered that Chu Huan wanted to escape, so they pursued the past..."

Ma Hong immediately said: "General Xuanyuan and Qinglong Qianhu chased after him personally, Feng Yuanpo and Chu Huan will definitely find it difficult to escape. I am afraid that these two thieves will be captured soon!"

"Why did Chi Liandian leave?" The prince glanced at everyone, "You said, is Chi Liandian going to chase the traitor, or... he wants to leave himself?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak.

"Xuanyuan Shao and Yue Lengqiu are loyal to the court, so they are naturally chasing and rebellious." The prince said slowly: "Is Chi Liandian loyal or traitorous, I am a little confused now..." His tone became stronger and he asked again: "You guys say, is Chi Liandian loyal or traitorous?"

The ministers naturally knew the weight of this sentence. Chi Liandian held heavy troops and was a famous general of the empire who had been through many battles. If Chi Liandian was still loyal to the court, it would naturally be a blessing for the Qin Dynasty. However, once Chi Liandian died of the emperor, Chi Liandian had other thoughts, which would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the current Qin State. The prince was obviously extremely concerned about this issue.

Lin Yuanfang relied on the emperor's favor and climbed to his current status. However, once the emperor was a minister, the emperor died. The prince naturally wanted to inherit the throne. As a representative of the new party, Lin Yuanfang had once been unable to get along with the prince's party. He knew that his current situation was in danger. At this time, he must cater to the prince's thoughts and show kindness to the prince to avoid the prince's settlement of the score. However, at this time, he really didn't know what the prince was thinking. He hesitated and then made a fuss and stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, I think that Red Refining Power must be guarded!"

"Oh?" The prince glanced at Lin Yuanfang, "Mr. Lin means, do you think Chi Liandian has a different ambition?"

Lin Yuanfang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, Chi Liandian holds heavy troops in his hands. He has always been a self-respecting force. Ji Pingkang, one of the four major granaries of the empire, once became Chi Liandian's private warehouse...!" After a pause, he glanced at the prince secretly. Seeing that the prince was staring at him, he seemed to be listening to him seriously. He hurriedly said, "If he was loyal to the court, he would not leave suddenly. I think he must be careful about this person."

"Your Highness, it's not clear whether Chi Liandian is loyal or traitor. If he really cared about evil intentions, he wouldn't have come to attend the birthday ceremony of heaven." Zhou Ting looked solemn, "I think that Chi Liandian came to attend the birthday ceremony of heaven, which means that at least he still had the court in his heart, or even if he was not determined, he might not be determined to rebel..."

Upon hearing this, the prince nodded slightly, and Zhou Ting continued: "Before confirming whether Chi Liandian is loyal or traitor, we would rather believe that he is a loyal minister than force him to go to the road of rebellion."

The prince said: "Zhou Nayan is the old saying of the country."

"Your Highness, I think the current priority is to control the situation in Hexi as soon as possible." Xue Huaian, Minister of Rites, came out and said: "Ten thousand troops in Hexi, plus the Yi barbarian cavalry, are all war-making soldiers. If they cannot be controlled in time, they will be defeated by Feng Yuan and returned to the mountain. The consequences will be unimaginable... We only have the three thousand guards under General Xuanyuan. Although they are brave and good at fighting, once the Hexi army strikes an attack, the three thousand guards will be unable to resist at all."

Zhou Ting immediately said: "That's true. Your Highness, the Hexi Army is good at conquering and fighting. Once Feng Yuanpo escapes, he will inevitably gather the Hexi army to attack the Heavenly Palace. He will be unable to resist at that time. The Feng family father and son have been in Hexi for more than 20 years and are deeply rooted. The generals of the Hexi Army have followed the Feng family father and son to conquer Feng Yuanpo and follow Feng Yuanpo. The most important thing at the moment is not Chi Liandian, nor Chu Huan, but Feng Yuanpo...!"

"Report..."

At this moment, a report came from outside. The prince nodded. Someone had already summoned him to come in. The one who came in was a sacred wardrobe. The prince had already asked: "What's the situation? Can you find out who is a traitor?"

"Report to the Prince, we are searching for the Heavenly Dao Palace. The dungeon that imprisoned Xuanwu Qianhu has been found and is trying to crack the mechanism."

"Oh?" the prince frowned and said, "When can Xuanwu be rescued?"

"The underground prison mechanisms are numerous and designed very cleverly, and it is difficult to crack in a short period of time." The captain of the Shenyi School reported: "We have allowed people who are skilled in the art of mechanism to crack it immediately, but the fastest is to open it in three to five days."

"Since Feng Yuanpo escaped, the food of the Xuanwu Captain was naturally unsuitable. It is hard to predict whether he was dead or alive now." The prince knew that the four thousand households of the Divine Yiwei were all independent figures, and the Divine Yiwei was the most loyal subordinate. Since the emperor died, if nothing unexpected happened, he would naturally take over the command of the Divine Yiwei. Xuanwu was one of his capable generals. If such a capable general, the prince naturally had to try his best to save him and ordered: "Tell them that if you want to rescue Xuanwu at all costs and open the dungeon, this palace will definitely have a heavy reward. Xuanwu is loyal to his father and such a loyal and brave man should also be rewarded!"

"I understand the humble position." said the lieutenant of the Shenyi School.

Zhou Ting wanted to speak, but the imperial officials must not point fingers at the lieutenant of the Divine Clothing, and immediately held back. Fortunately, the prince had already said, "Tell them that Feng Yuanpo is likely to have escaped through the secret passage. You carefully find the secret passage..." Then he frowned, thinking that since Feng Yuanpo carefully set up a secret passage, it is naturally extremely secret. Although the Divine Clothing Guard is outstanding and is all experts in tracking and handling cases, it is probably not easy to find that secret passage.

Lin Yuanfang observed his expression and looked at him. He was a very clever person. He had already seen the prince's mind and stepped forward and said carefully: "Your Highness, it may not be easy to find the secret passage. The official thought that someone might know some clues."

"Oh?" the prince asked immediately, "Who?"

Lin Yuanfang said carefully: "Your Highness, there is Snowflake Empress living in the western hall of the Immortal Palace. She is Feng Yuanpo who is offering sacrifices to the emperor, and she has been bewitching the emperor on the northern tour. Is it possible that Snowflake Empress was deliberately arranged by Feng Yuanpo to the emperor? If so, Snowflake Empress may know something we don't know!"

The prince and the officials remembered that there was a Snowflake Empress here in this immortal palace. The emperor visited the north. In the harem, in addition to the queen, Snowflake Empress was also the only concubine in the harem who accompanied the northern tour.

A cold light flashed in the prince's eyes and said lightly: "Since that's the case, invite the Snowflake Empress over!"

He is now only the crown prince and has not inherited the throne. The Snowflake Queen is the concubine conferred by the emperor. In his name, he is the prince's concubine's mother. According to the rituals of the harem, the prince should have gone to see the Snowflake Queen, but he could not be summoned. However, at such an extraordinary moment, the prince summoned the Snowflake Queen, but everyone dared not say anything. Moreover, after the Snowflake Queen entered the capital, he bewildered the emperor, and the eunuchs around him were even more arrogant and domineering, and had long been unpopular. Everyone present, except for Lin Yuanfang and Ma Hong who were closer to the Snowflake Queen, other ministers had no favoritism towards the Snowflake Queen.
