The Great Capital was under full lockdown, and they began a house-to-house search.
Of course, for the homes of nobility, the Emperor still had to show some consideration, so he only made a token gesture.
But for ordinary households, they were searched thoroughly.
The Third Prince realized his situation was becoming unfavorable, and immediately came up with a plan.
He specifically had himself taken to the Imperial Garden, where he coincidentally encountered the Emperor.
He took this opportunity to tell the Emperor his thoughts.
Mu Yan is the sole daughter of the Xuemu Sect Leader, if we capture her, and then control her, we could seize the Xuemu Sect, turning it into a lapdog of the Court. Wouldn't that mean we could command the Xuemu Sect as we please?
As the largest sect in the north, if it became a lapdog of the Court, would the other sects not also fall in line?
As long as the Court cooperates, the entire northern worldly society will cease to exist.
