The journey from the Imperial Palace to Chang City took hours. It was like when they departed from Chang City for the palace yesterday. They left in the morning, and they arrived at the palace only in the afternoon.
It was indeed a long journey, and when the nine women finally reached the front of Tiantang House, all the women immediately got off from the palanquins before walking toward the building without saying a word.
They were very tired. It was only yesterday morning that they left Chang City and headed for the Imperial Palace which was twenty miles from the city, but this afternoon they had already returned to Tiantang House.
On top of that, they also had to stay up almost all night because of the events at the Imperial Palace, and that was why they just wanted to rest their exhausted bodies right now.
