Capítulo 2207: Chapter 2207: Protecting Her Well-being
Although Gu Ya didn’t care, Su Yunjin eventually helped Gu Ya apply the scar removal ointnt. This ti, Gu Ya’s trip to Jincheng not only thoroughly eliminated the hidden dangers of the Pri Minister Residence but also earned the Emperor’s recognition.
The Emperor intended to keep Gu Ya in Jincheng as an official. Cold Pri Minister colluded with people to rebel, implicating a group who were prosecuted; so officials were detained, so dismissed, and so directly exiled.
The Emperor saw Gu Ya as brave and strategic, and his ability to uproot the Cold Pri Minister faction was a significant achievent. Knowing Gu Ya’s capabilities, the Emperor specially intended to keep Gu Ya in Jincheng and reward him with an official position.
Gu Ya gracefully declined, and the Emperor, seeing Gu Ya’s ambition did not lie there, did not overly insist. Gu Ya thought the matter of the official appointnt had passed like this, but unexpectedly, midway, the Emperor suddenly sent King Ning over to deliver the decree.
The decree appointed Gu Ya as Imperial Censor and tasked him with overseeing the bandit-ridden Ning City and the impoverished Salt City.
These two cities are not too far from Yangcheng. Ning City and Salt City have historically been difficult to govern; nurous officials have co and gone over the decades, and none could resolve their issues.
The Emperor valued Gu Ya’s talent, hence entrusted Donglin’s two most troubleso cities to Gu Ya.
Gu Ya had already refused the Emperor once. This ti, the Emperor personally arranged for King Ning to declare the decree midway to prevent Gu Ya from having another chance to refuse.
Gu Ya understood the Emperor’s intentions and knew this ti he likely could not easily shirk the responsibility. After all, that person was the Emperor, and if he repeatedly embarrassed him, it could anger the imperial visage.
Offending the Emperor is a severe cri; Gu Ya couldn’t retreat easily from this predicant and had to temporarily accept the decree, agreeing to govern Ning City and Salt City.

Su Yunjin, upon hearing that the Emperor appointed Gu Ya as Imperial Censor, was not too opposed.
