The Emperor first made a round on the city tower, then extended his condolences to the participating soldiers before finally going to see the prisoners.
The prisoners were all driven into an alley, and regardless of whether they were injured, they either sat or lay on the ground. Seeing this group of high-ranking individuals at the entrance of the alley, they fearfully knelt down.
Seeing that many of them were still bleeding and looking distressed and anxious, the Emperor sighed and said, "Move the prisoners outside the city and select the wounded. Courtier Zhou, let your medical tent treat them."
Manbao lowered her gaze after glancing at them and agreed.
Thus, the soldiers escorted the prisoners out of the city, carving out an area at a certain distance from the main tent to settle them.
