But it was clear to any observant person that even Ke Lian, who was most trusted by Chen Yin, was occasionally feared by Chen Yin. The genuine harmony in "cooperation" between Chen Yin and Ke Lian only began after the relationship between Du Xixi and Chen Yin was made public.
Due to the presence of Du Xixi, Chen Yin gradually shifted some of his focus, concentrating it on Ke Lian. He was responsible for maintaining the Empire's authority and stability, while Ke Lian, leveraging his influence and power in the Military Department, was responsible for following Chen Yin's orders and assisting in maintaining the Empire's order.
The fans understood that Chen Yin needed to look at the bigger picture, hence they were especially worried that he might marry a woman advantageous for his control over politics, which is something they really didn't want to see as a "political alliance."
