Li Qingmu is heading to the government office.
This is no ordinary government office, but rather the one in the Capital City, a coveted place of appointment for many. An official in the Capital City, regardless of rank, can be called an Official from capital. Even if one goes to the provinces as a Ninth Grade Official, others must still show some respect.
That saying... "A seventh-rank official at the Prime Minister's gate," speaks to this truth.
The Imperial Censorate, a central administrative oversight body, and one of the judicial organs, is responsible for inspecting, impeaching officials, and maintaining discipline.
Of course, most of the time, it involves impeaching officials, although there are one or two who might impulsively impeach the Emperor. The Emperor typically won't react immediately but will surely settle scores later.
Take, for example, the official who previously impeached Li Qingmu; he angered the Emperor and was dealt with on the spot, banished to Xinan.
