This series of actions left everyone, including Ye Wenyu himself, at a loss.
The eunuch delivering the imperial decree finished speaking and, seeing that Ye Wenyu was dumbfounded and unresponsive, couldn't help but remind him, "Deputy Commander Ye, shouldn't you quickly accept the decree and express your gratitude?"

Even after returning to his seat, Ye Wenyu remained in a bewildered state.
