Chapter 159 Preparations for the Southwest



Zhao Shi'an also hoped that she could go back as soon as possible.

After saying goodbye to Fang Dashu and a few other familiar people, Fang Qing stayed for two more days before boarding a carriage to leave the capital.

Zhao Shi'an did not go to Dali Temple that day, but came to see her off.
