Recollecting Wang Li's words just now, Ye Shikai couldn't help but feel a tinge of "gloom". Could it be that there is truly someone behind the scenes secretly scheming? Although he indeed disdains focusing on this, and has contempt for such conspiratorial means, since ancient times, how many loyal ministers and valiant generals have perished due to rumors? He certainly didn't want to die...
"Old Ye, what are you thinking about?" Ye Shikai was lost in thought until Shangguan Jian called him several times before he responded.
"Ahem, it's nothing." Ye Shikai steadied himself, staying calm; his relationship with Mi Wen was more than just monarch and minister; they were friends too. He didn't believe Mi Wen would doubt him over a few rumors.
However... if nothing exceedingly urgent were happening, why would Mi Wen issue such secret orders to him?
"General Ye, General Shangguan, I shall take my leave." The messenger bowed and slowly exited the hall.
