Hua Qianmian secretly encouraged herself, maintaining a calm demeanor as she approached Qiu Wanjun.
Qiu Wanjun had been watching Hua Qianmian, who was disguised as Zuo Jinye, and only when she came closer did he withdraw his gaze, lowering his eyes to greet her with a salute.
Hua Qianmian raised her hand for an empty gesture of support, "Are you feeling better?"
Qiu Wanjun nodded slightly and countered, "Didn't the Prime Minister say they were going to..."
The sentence trailed off, leaving the destination of Zuo Jinye unspoken. Hua Qianmian had often played other people over the years, having been questioned and tested many times, already well-versed in such battles.
Hua Qianmian glanced aside, guiding Qiu Wanjun's attention to the tied-up Sang Que behind her, cryptically saying, "Make the false seem true, and the true seem false."
Qiu Wanjun pondered briefly, then suddenly understood, "The Prime Minister is wise!"
