She smiled coquettishly and said, "Prime Minister, do you have time to accompany Qingqing?"
She enunciated, "Prime Minister … Hmm?"
The cold and indifferent Prime Minister Wen Ya raised her eyes, and her usually cold eyes became a little gloomy and deep.
"It would be impolite to decline."

The next day, Gu Jinyan went to the palace for the morning court session.
All the officials were already present in the court. The Emperor of the Baili Kingdom was sitting on the throne.
"The Prime Minister has arrived …"
The eunuch outside the hall announced loudly.
Everyone who had been waiting for a long time turned to look at the back.
Everyone was stunned by the young man's delicate face and tall figure.
His usual white gown had been changed into a formal court attire. His posture was indifferent.
His face was exquisite. Every part of him was perfect.
His black hair was tied up. He looked less elegant and more indifferent.
The cold and indifferent Prime Minister walked unhurriedly to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Gu Jinyan held the hem of his clothes with his fair fingers and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Emperor raised his hand. "Hmm, go back to your seat, Prime Minister."
Gu Jinyan nodded and returned to his seat.
After the court session, the Emperor said to Gu Jinyan, "Prime Minister, it's great that you're back. I was worried sick when I heard that you were kidnapped by the people from the Chengwu Stockade. I was about to send the army to rescue you, but you came back unexpectedly. "
The Emperor laughed. "That's great!"
"The Prime Minister is back. What about the Chengwu Stockade?" Someone asked.
This question was meant for the Emperor. He nodded and looked at Gu Jinyan. "That's right. Since the Prime Minister is back, does it mean that the Chengwu Stockade has been successfully destroyed?"
Gu Jinyan, who stood out among the crowd, looked aloof and indifferent. He replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "The Chengwu Stockade has not been destroyed."
The Emperor's expression changed immediately. "Why?"
"The Chengwu Stockade did not do anything evil. Why should they be destroyed?" Gu Jinyan looked up indifferently and asked calmly.
The Emperor frowned, "Prime Minister, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know that this Chengwu Zhai —"
"Burning, killing, and looting in the city?" Gu Jinyan continued faintly.
Being interrupted, the Emperor didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded and answered, "Yes."
The Prime Minister, who had always been gentle and elegant, showed a mocking smile on his face. His dark eyes were filled with mockery. "Your Majesty, did you see this with your own eyes?"
The Emperor frowned, "How could I have seen it with my own eyes when I was in the capital? But according to the local county magistrate's report, it's true."
"The local county magistrate?" Gu Jinyan raised the corners of his lips coldly. His eyes turned cold as he spat out, "Corruption."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the officials in the imperial court immediately changed.
The Emperor's expression also changed. He frowned, "What do you mean?"
