Qi, Meng Wanfu, and Ding Xiang had all come to attack the capital. Meng Wanfu, Ding Xiang, and Yang Mu rushed into the palace immediately, quickly gaining control over the entire area.
The guards in the inner palace were subdued and escorted to a holding area for screening and processing.
However, it was clear that they could no longer serve as palace guards.
Not all the eunuchs and palace maids managed to escape.
In fact, only a few high-ranking officials, eunuchs, stewards, senior maids, and those with relatives outside the palace had fled. Most servants only dared to hide some jewelry secretly, not daring to leave the palace.
Where could they go after leaving the palace? It had been years, even decades, since many of them had left. In the chaos outside, they might not even know the directions, let alone how to interact with outsiders. They had nowhere to go.
In the chaos of war, they might even lose their lives. It seemed safer to stay in the palace.
