He frantically demanded that everyone speed up their actions; every inch of the Imperial Garden needed to be searched.
The Imperial Garden was so large, yet at this moment, he could not afford to care about so much and was just about to instruct Zhang Qing to mobilize the Imperial Guards to search.
