The heat was intense, but he was still cold despite being covered in thick fur.

Gu Huaizhi was extremely hot, but his expression did not change.

"I feel relieved to see you are getting better."

Gu Huaizhi said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

He was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Last time, the Emperor thought that I had done a great job in rescuing the driver, so he granted me a request. I wonder if it counts?"

Emperor Hui narrowed his eyes and his eyes became sharp.

After a long time, he smiled slowly.

"I always keep my word."

Gu Huaizhi: "That minister..."

He paused, and then his voice deepened.
