Jiang Qingwan pondered for a moment but did not refuse to resist.
After entering the palace, many things became beyond my control.
Now that Mo Yunhan is not in the capital, and her cultivation has been almost completely depleted, she can only take things one step at a time.
"Qing Sui, go find Ye Qi. My red fox is with him. Have him take it to the backyard and let Lian'er take care of it."
Qinghui agreed, raised her arm to help her down from the carriage, watched her get into the black carriage, and then turned and left.

The old eunuch bowed as he explained.
