A few hours earlier, as soon as he had recovered, Officer Zhou Ming searched for General Li Mu and warned him of what was about to happen to the Emperor. The moment the General saw the token in the Officer's hand, the General knew that Officer Zhou Ming was someone that he could trust. He then sent a group of men to go with the Officer and another group to find the Crown Prince.
As for the other princes and the Emperor's consort and concubines… they will have to depend on the guards that were sent out with them.
General Li Mu had already known about the route that the Emperor was going to take to return to the palace and had informed Officer Zhou Ming about it.
However, when the Officer saw the bodies on the street and the sign of fighting, he then sent Wen Ping to scout for the area where the Emperor had gone to. It did not take Wen Ping a long time to point out that the Prince had taken a different route.
