Prime Minister Gu was delighted and waved his hand, rewarding the young eunuch with an ingot of silver.
Before entering, he straightened his official hat and knelt down as soon as he entered. "Your Highness, I, Gu Daoyuan, come to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress."
"Father, please get up quickly." Su Man hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Although as the queen, she should be worshipped by Prime Minister Gu, but as a modern person, Su Man could not stand her father kneeling to her like this, so she directly supported Prime Minister Gu.
When Prime Minister Gu was supported by Su Man, his originally flexible limbs suddenly showed signs of hemiplegia, and his hands and feet were shaking with excitement.
"Father, what's wrong with you? Have you been feeling unwell recently?" Su Man asked with concern.
Prime Minister Gu took out a small handkerchief and wiped his tears, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing well."
He still remembered the rules and lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Man.
Su Man looked at Prime Minister Gu carefully. Perhaps it was because he worried too much, but his temples were already covered with white frost before he turned sixty.
Su Man sighed, "There are no palace servants here now, father, there is no need to be so polite."
Prime Minister Gu then raised his head, and the moment he saw Su Man, his eyes became red again.
In the cannibalistic harem, Guman no longer has the youthful appearance she once had, and there are several wrinkles between her eyebrows.
Seeing her like this in the eyes of her parents is more painful than having her heart cut out.
When Prime Minister Gu spoke again, he was already choking with sobs, "Your Majesty, you have lost a lot of weight over the years."
Su Man was afraid that Prime Minister Gu would be sad, so she smiled and said, "The imperial kitchen has been sending in snacks and fruits like water. My daughter has gained weight, and it took a lot of effort for her to lose some weight."
Prime Minister Gu was a shrewd man. He knew that his daughter was trying to comfort him, so he said a few words in response.
After a while, Prime Minister Gu said cautiously, "Your Majesty summoned me here today, right? Is it because..."
He hesitated to speak, but Su Man understood what he meant.
She nodded and said, "Father is right."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gu felt very disappointed.
Originally, he had no intention of intervening in this war, but if Guman spoke up, he would help Guman even if he had to bear the blame, so that her situation in the harem would not be too difficult.
"I understand. Then..."
"My daughter doesn't want her father to get involved in this matter."
"Okay, okay." Prime Minister Gu reacted, "Ah?"
Su Man continued, "The Emperor surrendered and asked my father to speak up because he wanted him to bear this false reputation. But if he carries such a bad reputation, our Gu family will be in great trouble."
"But..." Prime Minister Gu hesitated, "If I refuse to speak, what if the emperor takes his anger out on you?"
Su Man smiled. "Of course I'm not telling the emperor that you're unwilling to speak, but there are things that prevent you from speaking. For example, when I was a child, I was afraid of being asked about my homework by my father. What should I do?"
Prime Minister Gu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Great."
