Otani and the second prince were all anxious, and the people on Bai Ruozhu's side were also very anxious. Everyone had a good impression of the emperor and didn't want anything to happen to him.

There was a noise outside, and Bai Ruozhu felt strange. Didn't everyone stop him? Why do the guards outside let people in?

"Master Jiang, Master Bai, I heard something happened to the emperor and came here in a hurry. Is there anything I can do to help?" A voice of astrology came from outside.

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief. Astrology was one of his own, and since he was an Onmyoji, it was extremely difficult for him to be bewitched, so he was a good helper.

"Come into the secret room." Jiang Yichun said.

Astrology responded and picked two attendants to enter the secret room together.

After everyone briefly talked, Xingxing understood the current situation and joined the team looking for the agency.

Unfortunately, another quarter of an hour passed and still nothing was found.

Bai Ruozhu stared at the secret room in a daze. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the bookshelf inside, and she suddenly walked over quickly.

"Here it is!" she said, pointing to the gap between the two books.

She had only noticed that the order of the bookcases had not changed before, but had ignored the small information. Just at that moment, she noticed that the distance between the two books was larger.

She has a habit of organizing books close to the left side. Even if one row is not full, there will be some space between the book on the far right and the side wall of the bookcase. There will be no space without the two books in the middle.

As she spoke, she took down the two books, and Yuan Licheng and Feng Lanying hurriedly came forward.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yuan Licheng found a way to open the mechanism. The bookcase moved strangely about two feet to the left, and a passage was revealed on the right side of the bookcase!

"This is it!" the second prince shouted, and he was about to rush in, but was caught by Jiang Yichun.

"If you don't have any martial arts skills, just follow behind. If you get injured later, you will have to trouble my wife for treatment." Jiang Yichun said rudely.

The second prince was eager to save his father, but he did not dare to offend Jiang Yichun, so he could only follow him obediently.

Bai Ruozhu and his party entered the secret room. They didn't dare to delay, and they didn't have time to take a closer look. They walked along the secret passage. Only then did they realize that the secret passage was very long. They walked for a long time, and almost half of it was gone. After an hour, I finally saw the slightest glimmer of light.

It's the light coming from outside.

When everyone finally got out of the secret room, they looked back and realized that not only had they left the palace, but they had already left Kyoto City!

"When was this secret passage created? Is it so long?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Otani and the second prince both shook their heads. They didn't even know about such a secret room, so how could they know about the secret passage?

"Lord Ogu mobilized soldiers and horses to search the area, and the city and the palace should not be spared to prevent the other party from making an attack. Our group will search nearby first. If there is any news, we will send a signal to you." Bai Ruozhu said. He fired a few flares at him and said, "If you find His Majesty, just send these flares."

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it in a few days." Dagu said and hurriedly left with the people, but the second prince followed Bai Ruozhu and the others.

Jiang Yichun looked at him sideways, "Go back, we don't have time to take care of you."

Bai Ruozhu was sweating coldly. How long had it been since her son Ah Chun still disliked the second prince?

"I will follow you and will never hold you back." The second prince's tone sounded like pleading.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said: "Master Astrology, please escort the second prince back to the palace to rest. He has just recovered from the poisonous bug and suffered internal injuries. He really shouldn't work hard. In addition, the palace also needs to be searched, so I leave it to you."

After she finished speaking, she also gave a few signal flares to Astrologer.

"Okay, if there is news, we will send a signal to contact you." Xingxing said.

He said and went to help the second prince, but the second prince refused to leave. He felt that his father must have left the city.

"Second Highness, let's leave quickly. Don't delay the search and miss the time. What if the emperor is taken away? Mr. Bai wants to use Qinggong to hurry, and you won't be able to keep up." Xingxing advised.

The second prince was then willing to follow him, but before leaving, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed respectfully and performed the fusang salute.

"Master Jiang, Master Bai, I'm begging you." He said solemnly.

Xingxing hurriedly helped him up. Bai Ruozhu and the others nodded at him, and then one by one they used their Qinggong skills and quickly flew away into the distance.

There was only one main road near the city, but that didn't mean the emperor took the main road.

So everyone discussed it and simply divided into three groups. One group chased them out from the road, two groups went into the mountain in two groups, and the other group went to the nearby woods.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun chose to go into the mountain. After searching for a while, it became extremely dark.

No, this kind of darkness is not the darkness of night, but the darkness before dawn.

The two of them were on the top of the mountain, with a very wide view. At this time, the sun rose, and a gorgeous and magnificent sunrise picture appeared in front of them.

Unfortunately, neither of them was in the mood to watch the sunrise. When the surrounding area became brighter, they looked carefully, maybe they could find some clues.

Suddenly, a signal bomb was released in the direction of the palace, and Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up, "Found it, it's actually in the palace!"

"Let's go back now!" Jiang Yichun said.

The two of them joined hands and carried Qinggong down the mountain. They quickly met other people on the road who had also received the signal and returned.

"It's good to find it. Let's go back and see what's going on." Gao Quan sighed and said, "This Fuso royal family is really in chaos. It was ruined by the trouble in the middle of the night."

"Yes, it's much more chaotic than Danliang." Jiang Yichun sighed with emotion. At least the emperor of Danliang was not planted with poisonous insects without knowing it.

The group did not take the secret passage. The secret passage was narrow and dark, and the walking speed was too slow for the group. Instead, it was better to take the main road into the city.

Soon they returned to the palace. Bai Ruozhu led everyone straight to the emperor's palace, but there was no one at the door.

"Isn't there usually a lot of guards for the emperor? Where have everyone gone today?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"Maybe they are chanting sutras inside?" Jiang Yichun guessed.

The group of people hurriedly entered the palace. They didn't want the palace to be empty, not to mention the guards, and there was no sign of the emperor.

"Is it somewhere else?" Tang Feng asked.

Everyone had no choice but to come out again and look for someone to ask in the palace. After walking around for a long time, they finally met a guard. Bai Ruozhu went over and stopped the person and asked, "Where is the emperor? Where is Lord Otani?"

"We are also looking for His Majesty, but there is no news yet." The guard replied.

"Not found?" Bai Ruozhu shouted, "Then who set off the signal bomb just now?"

"What kind of flare? I don't know." The guard obviously did not follow Otani out of the city and did not know that Bai Ruozhu gave Ottani the flare.

Bai Ruozhu felt a bad feeling in her heart, "Where is Dagu? Take me to see him quickly!"
