Wei Qinglou dismounted, and the well-trained Vermilion Bird Guards had already captured the Black Tortoise Guards and made way for him.
He walked to the gate of the Ning residence, cupped his hands and bowed to Ning Han: "The situation has calmed down, and the Ning residence is safe. Lord Ning, please go back and rest. The new emperor will ascend the throne soon, and we will need Lord Ning's full efforts in the future."
