Zhou Gu followed Yan Huisheng into the Eastern Palace.
Upon arriving in the study room, the two of them sat down, with Qin Luan and a palace maid serving tea.
Zhou Gu sat calmly without speaking, pretending as if he didn't know Qin Luan. He waited for the serving of fruits and tea to be over before he spoke.
Yan Huisheng, however, took the initiative and said with a smile to Zhou Gu, "Before you left the capital, you asked me to ensure that she would not be bullied, that she would have enough food and clothes, and that she would be safe every day. After thinking it over, I decided to make her an official in the Eastern Palace."
Having said this, he turned to Qin Luan, "Officer Qin, should you manage to become a female official in the Eastern Palace, you should thank Zhou Gu."
Zhou Gu was surprised that Yan Huisheng would bring up this matter in front of Qin Luan and he was momentarily stunned.
