Lord Da Gu and the second prince anxiously paced in circles, while Bai Ruozhu's group was equally worried. Everyone had a good impression of the Emperor and hoped he wouldn't come to harm.
Sounds came from outside, and Bai Ruozhu found it strange. Weren't they supposed to block anyone coming in? Why were the guards outside letting people in?
"Master Jiang, Master Bai, I heard about the Emperor's predicament and rushed over. Is there anything I can do to help?" came the voice of the Astrologer from outside.
Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief. The Astrologer was one of their own, and as a Yin Yang Master, he was extremely difficult to poison, making him a valuable ally.
"Come into the secret chamber," Jiang Yichun said.
The Astrologer acknowledged and brought two servants with him into the secret chamber.
After a brief conversation, the Astrologer understood the situation and joined the group searching for mechanical mechanisms.
