About half an hour later, someone from below reported that a secret passage had indeed been found there, but the entrance had been sealed and it would take some time to dig.

"Dig it for me, and ask Tian Ziwei to find it for me at Prince Li's Mansion."

He had absolute trust in Lu Yaoyao, so when he heard what Lu Yaoyao said just now, he already believed that Prince Li might have already run out of the capital.

"Also, Wang De, you immediately convey my order to go to the Xishan camp to mobilize three thousand elites, and pursue them northward. Make sure to bring Prince Li and his family back to me."

Just as Wang De was about to leave, Lu Yaoyao stopped him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the courtiers still have something to say."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded and signaled Lu Yaoyao to continue.

"When the courtier heard the news, she was thinking, since Prince Li's family left the capital in such a sneaky way, where can they go?"

"It must be Beidi. You don't need to think about it."

Lu Yaoyao nodded with a smile, and continued to ask; "Then since you are going to the Northland, why do you want to go out through the East Gate?"

"It will take a detour to go to the north from the east gate. At least it will take one or two hours. Since you want to escape, why waste this two hours?"

Emperor Hongwen still hadn't figured it out, and said in confusion; "Didn't you also say that just now? The exit of the secret path is on the outskirts of Dongcheng."

The princes and nobles of Dongzhou all live in Dongcheng.

"At that time, the court lady also thought so, but later I heard a businessman who traveled around said that the east side can also go to the Northland, and if you really want to say it, the speed is not slower than going out from the north gate."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen couldn't understand, so he immediately asked Wang De to fetch the map and unfold it.

Then he kept checking on the map, and suddenly he pointed to a place and said, "What a plan."

The place he was pointing at was the port that Lu Yaoyao had seen before where he could go to the Northland by boat.

"Did you see it? Divide the soldiers into two groups to prevent them from having any more tricks. Be sure to stop them from the Northland."

Wang De took the order to retreat.

"It's really thanks to Wanfu this time, otherwise I wouldn't know when they all arrived in Beidi."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao shook her head with a smile and said, "My daughter's greatest wish is the peace of Dongzhou, and the Prince Li's residence intends to destroy the peace of Dongzhou, so naturally my daughter cannot tolerate them."

She didn't want to get involved in those messy things, she just wanted peace.

She, her family and the people around her can live a peaceful life, so whoever intends to destroy this peace, she will find anyone to feel uncomfortable.

That's what happened in southern Xinjiang back then, so she gave out the bomb.

When Emperor Hongwen heard her words, he was a little stunned, but then he burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay."

He understood what Lu Yaoyao meant, the world is peaceful, life is easy, everyone is safe, just like she likes to stay in Chengyuan Villa, isn't it just for safety?

"I will try my best to make Dongzhou peaceful, and I will punish anyone who dares to destroy this peace."

At this moment, he was even more relieved of Lu Yaoyao.

A person who only wants peace will never mess around.

Of course, he also admires Lu Yaoyao very much. Everyone in the world wants to be rich and powerful, and they want to fight for this one who breaks their heads.

No matter how high you stand, you have to fight for it, even if it is him, isn't it the same?

Sitting in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, is it really safe?
But he is not stable at all. In the past, he was not stable because of the suppression of Duke Zhen. Without Duke Zhen's oppressive power, he is still unstable.

With so many government affairs every day, he has to worry about the livelihood of so many people, and he also has to fight with the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs.

It's impossible to be as free and easy as Lu Yaoyao. In fact, in this life, don't you just want to be safe?

However, apart from his admiration, he was also envious, envious that Lu Yaoyao could live so easily.

Another hour passed, and someone from below came to report again.

The secret passage on the outskirts of the east gate has already been dug. Walking along the secret passage, the exit was blocked again, but this time the excavation was very fast. Since the exit is under the bed in Prince Li's main courtyard bedroom.

"What a prince, he really took great pains for today."

To be able to work hard for seven or eight years or even ten years for a secret path.

"Wanfu did a good job this time, I deserve a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but let's forget about the rewards. The courtiers don't need anything now."

Emperor Hongwen was taken aback, and so was the guard in front of the palace next to him.

Maybe it was the first time he met this kind of person who was rewarded by the emperor.

"If you don't lack, you should be rewarded. I remember that there are many wastelands and mountains near your villa. How about I reward you with all of them?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao thought about it, and there are indeed many barren mountains and wasteland around her Chengyuan Villa, and it would be good to develop it.

"This line, my daughter, thank the emperor."

"Hahaha."

Afterwards, Lu Yaoyao had lunch in the palace before leaving. When he left the palace, the officers and soldiers who were arresting people everywhere in the street had disappeared.

After all, it has been confirmed that the secret road from Prince Li's mansion leads directly to the outside of the city, and the other party has obviously left, so there is no need to continue to disturb the people.

However, the blockade of the four gates has not been lifted. After all, the Prince of Li is so cunning and cunning, who knows if he will set up suspicious positions and then take the opportunity to escape.

When he came to the gate of the city, the school lieutenant from the morning saw that it was Princess Wanfu's carriage, he just said hello and let it go without too much questioning.

"Lieutenant, it's not that the subordinates don't believe in Princess Wanfu because of their villainous hearts, so it's fine to go into the city. Let's let it out like this when we go out of the city, just in case"

He didn't say what happened next, but the captain also guessed it.

I saw him glaring at his subordinate, and cursed angrily, "Are you stupid?"

"Who is the master of Wanfu County? That is a person who is unparalleled in the Holy Grace, so who is the Prince Li?"

"Will she give up her current status for such a person?"

"Also, this Princess Wanfu will be the Princess of Jin in the future, with a bright future, is it worth getting involved with Prince Li's family?"

The subordinate nodded awkwardly.

"disappeared?"

A few days later, King Jin was quite surprised when he received the news from the capital.

"Yes, it is said that it disappeared under the eyes of Tian Ziwei without a sound."

"And it's still late at night."

King Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "It's kind of interesting, it seems that we all underestimated this Prince Li, it's really extraordinary that he can still have such a trick."

"However, so what if you leave the capital? If you want to enter the Northland, it depends on whether the king is willing or not."

"Pass down the order to guard all the main roads entering the Northland, even the barren hills and fields."

Yan San took the order and left.

"It seems that Beidi has to start taking action."

At the same time, in the imperial study room in the capital, Emperor Hongwen also received a secret report that he suspected to have found traces of Prince Li's family in the east, and he is currently looking for them.
