"His Majesty Chen Yin probably hasn't expressed anything either," Ke Lian put down the cup in her hand, allowing 2569 to refill it with warm water. "He's most worried about Xixi's health, so he won't agree rashly."
Ke Lian worries about Du Xixi, and naturally, Chen Yin does too. Moreover, Chen Yin is a very respectful brother who always consults Du Xixi on matters, especially as this involves the Iron-eating Beast Empire's concerns about Du Xixi. Chen Yin certainly wouldn't take matters into his own hands and make decisions on her behalf.
Compared to the friendly relations between the two empires, Chen Yin is likely more concerned about Du Xixi's feelings. After all, diplomatic relations can be rebuilt with various interests, but Xixi's anger isn't something that can be soothed overnight.
