Li Huowang sat in a corner of the guest room, silently watching the Da Qi people argue.
To cleanse the court smoothly, they seemed to be debating whether to win over some of the eunuchs in the palace. One side thought all the palace eunuchs were the same, while the other believed some old connections could still be of use.
Li Huowang's attention wasn't really on these people; most of it was fixed on Zhuge Yuan, who was sitting off to the side. Calm and composed, he sat there sipping his tea like a mere spectator, not voicing any opinion. Even with his lofty status in Da Qi, a single word from him could quell this dispute.
Li Huowang walked over and sat beside him, lowering his voice to ask, "They're making such a scene—aren't you going to intervene? We can't go without a leader at a time like this."
