Upon hearing this, Guo Yuqi's heart skipped a beat, too terrified to even glance at Ji Dongming. Yet, she steadfastly denied it with her lips, "Master, Qiqi did not leave the mansion today. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yan Xue!"
Guo Yuqi was actually a bit clever, knowing how to divert disaster elsewhere.
However, at this moment, how could Ji Dongming trust her words again?
He was supposed to leave the Imperial Medical Bureau at Shen Hour, but then Marquis Changan had him summoned, claiming it was an imperial call.
Because of this, he could not leave.
Little did he know, in the Emperor's Imperial Study Room, he saw Imperial Censor Lord Chen, whose gaze pierced him like a knife.
Ji Dongming immediately sensed trouble, and as soon as he saw the Emperor, he was scolded brutally.
After a full two shichen of rebuke, he was finally allowed to leave.
