Murong Qinghe chimed in, "Exactly! Even if we can't participate directly, so many experts combined are not to be underestimated. Besides, the army from the foot of the mountain will arrive soon. With the added advantage of the military formation, what can a mere Earth Immortal do?"
She understood why her grandfather was so determined. If something really happened to the emperor, perhaps the other civil and military officials would be fine, but her grandfather, as the Grand Master of Ceremonies, was responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. He would definitely be implicated afterward, and at best, he would be demoted or dismissed from office, and at worst, his entire family would be executed!
Moreover, given the Murong family's long-standing beliefs, now is not the time to back down.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yi nodded and said, "That's right. Now that the Emperor is in danger, we should go and help him."
At the same time, he secretly communicated with Bi Qi and other key members of the imperial party. Since the Prince of Qi had disappeared, everyone guessed that he was currently on the Golden Summit, so he secretly took control of the officials of the Prince of Qi's faction.

Nine shimmering dragons adorned the Emperor's Seal. Zhao Hao held it in his hand, revealing his figure. Apart from some charred marks on his clothes, he was undamaged in the explosion.
He gazed at the deep crater in the ground, his expression somewhat forlorn: "He is indeed fierce; no wonder he has been able to fight against me for so many years."
Knowing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Ru Hua didn't rush to attack. Instead, she looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Since Your Majesty is so good at restraining Prince Qi, why didn't you use this 'Wedding Dress Secret Technique' on him from the very beginning?"
Zhao Hao smiled coldly: "If it weren't for this, how could I have drawn out someone like you who was hiding in the shadows?"
