Mutual benefit - these four words perfectly embody the relationship between Ke Lian and Chen Yin.
Chen Yin, as Your Majesty, needs a trustworthy Marshal; Ke Lian, as a Marshal, needs a loyal Majesty. When the ruler and ministers are united, the upper echelon need not fear the lower, and the lower need not doubt the upper; this is the foundation for an Empire's gradual progress.
That's why Chen Yin reminds Ke Lian at this moment to pay attention to his influence in the Military Department. Chen Yin doesn't wish for his hard-earned trust in an Imperial Marshal to be shaken in the slightest.
This is true mutual benefit.
Du Xixi isn't foolish; she knows what this simple dialogue between Ke Lian and Chen Yin signifies. However, as soon as she heard it, she couldn't help but smile cheerfully.
