VILLAIN UNDER THE BLANKET
The agreement proposed by Zhong Enlai was to put aside their grudges for now. The Prime Minister said that he would ignore the rumors about how Dong Lang people and Wu Jinhai might be colluding with the demons, and he asked Wu Jinhai to put aside the matter regarding Luo Xiaoli's murder as well.
Zhong Enlai assumed that it was a win-win solution for both. Wu Jinhai would not lose his position as Crown Prince any time soon, nor would the East Faction lose its foothold in the Xinyang Imperial Palace.
Of course, Wu Jinhai couldn't accept such an agreement initially, knowing that he still needed to punish the people who had killed his mother. However, Bai Chen then whispered in his ear, saying that it was better to give in now than to act stubbornly. Bai Chen also mentioned how Yu Ming might be in danger if he continued being stubborn, and that was why Wu Jinhai finally decided to give in.
