The leader of the trusted aides apologized to the gentleman, "I'm sorry, sir. You shouldn't have said what you just did."
"It seems the current Duke of Tang has become a startled hare; such words have frightened him," the gentleman in the green robe said slowly, savoring the tea in his hand and shaking his head with a smile.
Shortly afterward, as Li Yuan waited in the back hall and received a message from the trusted aide, he was playing with his child, his face adorned with a kind smile, making it hard to associate him with the noble who had just ordered a killing.
"How did it go? Was it handled cleanly? What a pity, he was talented." Li Yuan sighed lightly. After all, he had a favorable impression of this gentleman, but for his own safety, he could only choose to silence him forever. It was a shame that the gentleman had spoken words he should not have.
