"The situation at the palace is dire right now,"
"But we can't have the general missing at such a critical time!"
"We'll lose to the crown prince in this way!"
There were a lot of voices speaking up against each other in front of Li Ze who was standing silent all the time.
They were currently having an emergency meeting with all of his associates and confidants.
"Don't you get it?! This war itself is one of the empress' schemes to get the general away from the palace grounds so that she can take advantage of his absence," one man argued.
Li Ze turned to him in silence, he knew what his closest attendant was worried about. But he had long gave up his right to succession in consideration of Li Jun. He wanted to become Li Jun's support, not his enemy.
But now it seemed that Li Jun himself had forgotten about their close relationship as brothers as quick as he turned his head away.
