Third-person POV
Weisheng hopped from one roof to another as he studied the whole layout of the Royal Palace. He climbed to the top of the highest tower in the Royal Palace and activated his inner sight.
He furrowed his brows in suspicion, he couldn't detect even an ounce of Hong er's presence nor her Qi. No matter how weak it one's presence is, he always could detect it. Yet, at this severe time, every skill that he possessed became useless.
Although he wanted to go search for Hong er without caring for anything, he still remembered the promise that he made with Hong er. He should not forget his duty and responsibility as an emperor regardless of what happened to her.
From what he saw, there were several locations where the fight between the guards and Bei Zhou's soldiers was very heated. It was easy for him to recognize which is Da Qi soldiers and which is Bei Zhou soldiers because the flow of the Qi between both sides are completely different.
