Chapter 296: Acting Their Roles

"Strategist Yang, please follow me."

Yang Xian nodded and followed the eunuch. The room was sound proofed, so he knew that the only one who knew the conversation just now was the Imperial Physician. Still, he was worried that things might not be going that smoothly.

Walking back to the hall, Yang Xian noticed that each of the official was keeping close attention to each other. They would try to catch anyone who act suspicious.

'This is truly a battlefield on its own.'

"Strategist Yang, did His Majesty say anything?" Prime Minister Xie asked directly.

Yang Xian smiled. "His Majesty is worried about the border getting affected. Fortunately, His Highness the Third Prince is still holding on there."

The news regarding the war at the north was not new for the officials. They have heard about it countless times and ever since the fallout of the treaty, no one seemed to feel that it was strange for wars to happen again and again.
