"WHAT?" Zhu Ruolan's high-pitched voice sounded right after Zhong Enlai finished reporting to her about the current situation. "We have walked a thousand miles and are only one step away from defeating our enemies, but you decided to retreat, Uncle?"
Right after Zhong Enlai arrived at the Xinyang Imperial Palace, he did not go straight to his residence. Instead, he chose to go to the concubine's quarter to tell his niece about what happened in Dong Lang.
Zhong Enlai felt it necessary to discuss this matter with his niece. After all, he could guess that Wu Jinhai and Wu Jingguo had also gone to meet the Emperor in person after they returned to the palace. Sure enough, the old Prime Minister did not want to be left behind and chose to ignore his tiredness and go to meet his niece.
Unfortunately, his niece seemed unhappy with what he had decided before returning to Wu Li, and he could only sigh heavily without replying to the angry woman.
