Ji Xiaosong frowned, looking at the bodies covering the ground.
"Father Emperor, Qingyun's poison is cured. No matter what we suspect, we must first secure the Eastern Palace. Furthermore, King Wu may have other forces. We must seize this chance to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Chu Qingyun also stepped forward. "Yes, Father Emperor. King Wu must have had something to rely on to make a move today. He just never expected my poison would be neutralized so quickly."
The Emperor mulled it over for a moment before giving Chu Qingyun a command token.
"Go to the North Suburb and mobilize the troops. First, wipe out King Wu's remaining forces."
The moment Chu Qingyun took it, Ji Xiaosong realized something was wrong.
"It's too late. The Eastern Palace is surrounded. They've disguised themselves as commoners, hiding among the city blocks. They won't leave anyone who steps out of the Eastern Palace alive."
