After casting a coquettish glance, the woman curved her lips into a smile.
However, her effort was doomed to be wasted, as the gatekeeper, watching the woman's vain attempts, remained unmoved and spoke coldly, "Minister Yue instructed that without her permission, no one is to disturb Miss Gu."
Jin Xiaolan nearly lost her smiling demeanor upon hearing this.
Standing nearby, Lv Suhua took a step forward, attempting to slip two small porcelain bottles into the gatekeeper's hand, "Please make an exception, we promise not to disturb Miss Gu. We'll just say a few words and leave."
"Take one more step, and we won't be so courteous." As Lv Suhua attempted to bribe with elixirs, the gatekeeper drew his sword, halting her advance.
Seeing the sword drawn, Lv Suhua forcibly halted her steps, and her hand holding the bottles paused.
Finding no success with the gatekeeper on the left, Lv Suhua shifted her gaze to the other one.
