The official looked up and walked forward, but slowed his pace. "Naturally, I'm here to see the Imperial Censor!"
Wan Qiqi lowered her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.
She couldn't figure out why the censor had taken the initiative to approach her.
"Brother, what was the Imperial Censor's expression like when he asked to see me?"

She quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"
After he finished speaking, there was no reply for a long time.
Wan Qiqi lowered her head, internally complaining for a while.
