A few Imperial Forbidden Guards exchanged glances, then the leader among them looked at Situtu Xueer and said, "Madam Situ, if we go empty-handed, will they release the person? Why not give us a token, so that we have evidence, and we can smoothly bring the person back, avoiding unnecessary complications."
When they went to pick up the person in the morning, they couldn't get them, so to avoid repeating past mistakes, a token would be safer.
Xuexue smiled gently, "No need, you can rest assured and go fetch the person. Even before you arrive, the message has already reached Qinger Building."
After speaking, she turned around, lifted her skirts with both hands, got into the carriage, and just as she was about to put down the curtain, she said to the carriage driver, "Uncle Li, let's continue on our way."
"Yes, madam."
The carriage driver agreed, raised the whip, whacked it on the horse's rump with a "hiya...!"
"Clop-clop-clop...!"
The carriage sped away.
