As for whether Li Haoyuan suffered injustice or if there's any hidden truth, it's not his concern.
A person should not meddle in affairs that are not their responsibility.
The Court and the Inspection Department will investigate, and the various government offices will handle it. He is merely an Assistant Minister of Rites.
All he can do is to perform his duties well, without unnecessary interference.
He certainly doesn't want any additional complications.
Watching Li Haoyuan explain everything to Chu Mingrui, he could feel his complex emotions, his deep feelings for the soldiers of the Northern Territory, and his hatred and regret for this military defeat.
The faces of the twenty-three men grew increasingly sorrowful, as if they carried an immense grievance.
He pretended not to see, and Chu Mingrui also pretended not to see.
The two eunuchs in red pretended not to see either.
Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
