The Female Emperor's Marriage! This Subject Thinks Xu Shouren Is a Fine Choice! Scholar Peng's Vicious Scheme!

The Capital of Great Wei.

On the streets.

Xu Qingxiao headed toward the Ministry of Personnel.

For now, Xu Qingxiao put aside the question of what Scholar Peng was really planning.

There was no need to dwell on it yet.

Gu Yan and Zhang Jing spoke first. Neither was exaggerating. Everyone
