Chapter 491: Your Highness, Please Conduct Yourself with Propriety!
Sima Ke's lips curled into a faint smile. Although he didn't say it too clearly, everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
This was the decision he had subtly made before. He didn't think he was wrong. He was just making things clear. Moreover, it wasn't just Chen Yuan who was full of youthful vigor.
His mother consort had also been deprived of intimacy for a long time.
Who would benefit was uncertain.
At this moment, he seemed somewhat mad, but his eyes were filled with a conspiratorial smile. For the position of Crown Prince, for the throne, he was no longer like a normal person.
But the real cause did not come from this, but from the words that Consort Yang had said before, coupled with the relationship between the Imperial Sister and Chen Yuan, which put him under immense pressure.
Finally, under the joint pressure of Sima Qian and Sima You, he had this transformation.
And once a person's character changes, it is difficult to go back.
So he didn't think it was a humiliation, but just a price that had to be paid on the road to success. So it was for his mother consort, and so it would be for his Imperial Sister.
As long as he could ascend to the position of Crown Prince, everything could be abandoned!
"You... what are you saying?"
Consort Yang widened her eyes, looking at Sima Ke in disbelief. She never expected Sima Ke to say such rebellious words.
Could it be that Chen Yuan instructed him to come?
It wasn't surprising that she thought so, because the matter was only clarified in the Shuanghe Temple that day. Apart from Chen Yuan, no one else could know about it. Thinking of this, her heart sank.
But for some reason, a faint feeling of delight arose in her heart.
It seemed she wasn't old yet. Chen Yuan was so impatient, didn't that mean she still had great charm?
Even someone as famous as Chen Yuan was interested in her.
Before, he had pretended to be a righteous gentleman.
Bah, Chen the traitor!
At this moment, because of Sima Ke's words, Consort Yang's thoughts wandered a lot. But these thoughts were only a small part. What she felt more was anger and shock.
As a son, he actually wanted to offer his mother to please Chen Yuan?
Utterly rebellious!
Sima Ke smiled and repeated what he had just said, only to be greeted by a heavy slap.
"Slap!"
Consort Yang slapped Sima Ke in the face and scolded angrily:
"You bastard, you bastard, how dare you say such rebellious words! Get... get out of my palace!"
"Mother... Mother Consort... I..."
Sima Ke covered his face, stunned in place. This slap was completely beyond his expectations. As far as he could remember, this seemed to be the first time his mother consort had hit him.
Why?
Hadn't they already colluded together?
He was just making it clear.
How could it be like this?
Sima Ke didn't know, really didn't know why his mother consort had such a big reaction. He didn't react for a moment, while Consort Yang pointed at him and scolded:
"Get out! Get out of Chunhua Palace!"
"Mother Consort, calm down, I..."
"Get out!"
Seeing his enraged mother consort, Sima Ke panicked and quickly bowed:
"Your son takes his leave."
After saying that, he quickly left Chunhua Palace.
After he left, Consort Yang collapsed to the ground, looking dejected. She did have some ideas before, wanting to use Chen Yuan to help her and her son. For this, even paying some price was not impossible.
But...
She really didn't expect Sima Ke to know this.
How would she face others in the future?
Where was her sense of shame?
Consort Yang's hands trembled, filled with shame and anger.
She was ashamed of being exposed by Sima Ke, and at the same time, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart. Before, Chen Yuan had gradually influenced her heart through Mo Luo's methods.
After a long time, Consort Yang looked out of the palace and whispered:
"Was... was this his instruction?"
......
......
Chen Yuan knew nothing about the misunderstanding between Sima Ke and Consort Yang, nor was he interested in knowing. He was currently making some preparations to leave the capital.
Actually, there wasn't much to prepare, because Chen Yuan didn't have many friends in the capital, only Li Hongshuang, Guo Zifeng, and the Eldest Princess.
He had already said goodbye to Zhang Yantong. The rest were only Li Hongshuang and others.
Spending half a day, Chen Yuan roughly went through everything and made all the preparations. This time, he was ordered to become the Golden Envoy of Liangzhou, nominally the highest official of the Liangzhou Sky Patrol Division.
There was no need to leave secretly.
Just as Chen Yuan was preparing to leave the next day, as the sky gradually darkened, an uninvited guest came to the Earl's Mansion, which surprised Chen Yuan.
Because the person who came was... Consort Yang!
And she had come alone, concealing her whereabouts, wearing a bamboo hat and a treasure that concealed her aura. If she hadn't taken off her hat, Chen Yuan really wouldn't have recognized her at first glance.
Her figure was still extremely plump, wonderfully exquisite, and her black gauze attire had a different kind of charm.
Chen Yuan met Consort Yang in the study. Looking at her attire, he was puzzled. Without revealing anything, he picked up a cup of cold tea from the table to suppress his unease, and asked calmly:
"Consort Yang, what is the matter that made you dress up like this and sneak out of the palace to see me?"
Consort Yang pursed her lips, a little curious. Wasn't it he who instructed Ke'er to say those words? Why was he in this attitude now? Could it be that she had overthought it?
"Are you leaving?"
After a moment of silence, Consort Yang spoke.
For some reason, when she saw Chen Yuan, that inexplicable feeling arose in her heart again, as if she was very close to him.
Chen Yuan nodded, not feeling surprised, and said:
"Leaving tomorrow, to take office as the Golden Envoy of Liangzhou."
"Congratulations, you have reached the high position of Golden Envoy at such a young age. Your future is bound to be immeasurable. Our mother and son are probably going to rely on you."
Consort Yang's family had insufficient power and could not help Sima Ke much, especially after Yang Hucheng was demoted to the Youliang border, it had declined even more.
There were no talented descendants in the clan.
"That will have to be discussed later."
Chen Yuan did not give her any promises. He had always been extremely vigilant towards Sima Ke and his mother. Even though he had used some means to influence Consort Yang's mind, he had never regarded her as his own.
She was just a pawn that could be discarded at any time.
Similarly, he felt that Sima Ke must also be thinking the same way. Don't look at his honest appearance, who knows what he is thinking in his heart?
Consort Yang walked closer to Chen Yuan, looked at his calm gaze, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, as long as you can help Ke'er ascend to the position of Crown Prince, you can have anything you want."
Chen Yuan's lips curled up, as if with some disdain:
"Your Highness, please respect yourself. Chen only wishes to serve the country loyally, how could I have any bad intentions? Moreover, does Your Highness think that Chen is short of women?"
He would not be controlled by a mere woman.
Women were just red skeletons.
"Really?"
Consort Yang placed her slender hand on Chen Yuan's shoulder, then leaned over and whispered:
"Can those mediocre women compare with me? Besides, I heard that Green Envoy has unusual preferences, don't you want to taste the taste of the Emperor's woman?"
She didn't know how she could say such shameful words, but looking at Chen Yuan's calm gaze, she blurted them out.
As a woman, she absolutely could not allow a man to be indifferent to her.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, just as he was about to say something, suddenly the old butler's knock came from outside the room:
"Master, the Fourth Prince has come to visit."
Hearing these words, Consort Yang's gaze was suddenly shocked, and she immediately retracted her hand, a little flustered. She absolutely could not let Ke'er find out she was here.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to face him in the future.
Especially after he had said those words at noon and was scolded by her, if he found out that his mother consort was in Chen's mansion, he would know what he would think with a little thought.
"Is there a hiding place here? I can't let Ke'er find out." Consort Yang looked at Chen Yuan anxiously and said.
"There is no hiding place here, Your Highness, you should leave as soon as possible before the Fourth Prince arrives." Chen Yuan looked at Consort Yang and smiled.
Consort Yang looked around. There was indeed no hiding place in this study. She was about to open the room and leave, but just as she moved, Sima Ke's voice came from outside:
"Hearing that Green Envoy has been promoted, Ke has come to see him off."
Hearing this extremely familiar voice, the panic on Consort Yang's face was even greater, and her gaze quickly turned to Chen Yuan, hoping that he could think of a solution.
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he whispered:
"Your Highness, please condescend to hide under the table."
As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom.
"But this..."
Consort Yang looked at the empty table, a little confused. It couldn't block much of the line of sight. Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously and grabbed the curtain next to him and spread it on the table.
Consort Yang hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at Sima Ke outside, hardened her heart, and directly got under the table. Because the table was too small, her whole body was basically curled up next to Chen Yuan, closing her eyes and praying that Ke'er would not find her.
Chen Yuan waved his hand to block some of Consort Yang's aura.
Sima Ke outside the door heard that there was no sound in the room for a long time. Just as his mind was wandering, Chen Yuan's voice finally sounded:
"Your Highness, please come in."
Sima Ke quickly smiled:
"Okay."
Then, he pushed open the door of the study and walked in calmly.
"Your Highness has come at the right time."
Chen Yuan did not get up to greet him, but looked at him and said faintly.
"Oh? What do you mean by that, Green Envoy?"
Sima Ke asked puzzled.
What did he mean, he came at the right time?
"Chen will leave the capital tomorrow."
Chen Yuan did not give him a chance to think wildly, and said directly.
Sima Ke was surprised:
"Why is Green Envoy leaving so quickly? Did something happen?"
Chen Yuan shook his head:
"Chen has nothing to do in the capital, why stay?"
"That's true."
Sima Ke smiled reluctantly. His mood was very complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that Chen Yuan would be promoted and be able to help him in the future, and on the other hand, he hoped that he would stay and help him in this most difficult moment.
At the same time, he was worried that Chen Yuan would stay in Liangzhou for too long, and even have too deep a relationship with Sima Qian or Sima You. As far as he knew, Sima Ke and Sima You both had many beauties by their side.
What if...
"Your Highness came at this time, do you have something to say?" Chen Yuan glanced at Sima Ke and asked directly his intention.
Now the sky was gradually darkening, and even if he was seeing someone off, he would choose a good time during the day. So late at night, first his mother secretly left the palace, and then his son visited, he had to think more about it.
Especially with a warm figure beside him, constantly stimulating his heartstrings.
Sima Ke smiled embarrassedly and quickly said:
"The reason why Ke came at this time is because I don't want too many people to pay attention. After all, the relationship with Green Envoy cannot be speculated wildly, and the second is to see off Green Envoy."
He quickly stated his intention.
Chen Yuan glanced at Sima Ke and chuckled:
"Chen is upright and does things openly, and what kind of unspeakable collusion can I have with the Fourth Prince?"
There was originally no problem with this sentence, but Sima Ke thought too much again. He thought that he had not handled the matter of his mother consort well, and made Chen Yuan a little angry. He quickly said:
"Green Envoy, don't blame me, my mother consort caught a cold today, so she can't see you off in person. When Green Envoy returns, she will definitely satisfy Green Envoy, definitely satisfy Green Envoy."
It was impossible for him to say what happened this morning.
Although he didn't know why his mother consort was angry after he said that sentence, he absolutely could not reveal a single point, otherwise there would inevitably be other things.
Consort Yang under the table was furious when she heard this sentence, but she also understood that she could not move at this time, otherwise she would really be in an awkward situation.
She could only reach out and grab Chen Yuan's legs hard, suppressing the anger in her heart.
'Caught a cold?'
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows. The consort Yang under the table was wearing a black gauze dress and had a graceful figure, but she did not show any signs of catching a cold.
"Your Highness is thinking too much. Chen is not referring to Consort Yang." Chen Yuan frowned and said.
At the same time, he felt silent for Sima Ke's thoughts. This was really a good son!
"Not mother consort? Could Chen Yuan be referring to the Imperial Sister?"
Sima Ke was suddenly surprised. If it was his mother consort, he could still save face and persuade her, but he absolutely did not dare to go to his Imperial Sister, at least not now.
Otherwise, the other party would really dare to hit him.
But Chen Yuan's words could not be unanswered, so he pondered for a moment and whispered:
"Green Envoy, I'm afraid it's not the time for Imperial Sister's side. Her temperament is a bit arrogant. If Green Envoy really has a heart for Imperial Sister, you might as well make some achievements in Liangzhou.
After that, propose marriage accordingly. At that time, Ke can help Green Envoy."
Although Sima Ke's voice was light, Consort Yang under the table heard it very clearly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. What did this mean?
Chen Yuan's real favorite was actually Pingyang?
No wonder he was indifferent to her, it turned out that he disliked her for being too old.
No, no!
Because of Sima Ke's words, Consort Yang's mind was disturbed, and many things flashed in her mind, but they all converged into a 'no'.
Although she did not lose her virginity to Chen Yuan, the meaning had been made clear. How could she let Pingyang marry Chen Yuan at this time?
Although she did not like Pingyang's character very much, no matter what, the other party was her daughter. She absolutely could not allow the matter of serving one husband together.
Even if it didn't spread, she couldn't accept it.
Of course, the real reason was that a rebellious psychology arose in her heart, especially the claustrophobic environment under the table, which made her think more.
In addition, Consort Yang was also very angry.
She didn't understand until now that her son was so bastard, as a son and a brother, he would actually have such thoughts, which was simply rebellious.
This was contrary to ethics!
Consort Yang took a deep breath, and her brain was in a fever, and she was about to show up and scold this rebellious son, and slap him a few times on the face. She couldn't care so much now.
Her already irritable personality was completely ignited at this moment.
But just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly felt a powerful invisible force imprisoned on her body, and her body was suppressed. Consort Yang was about to scold.
But soon her mouth and nose were sealed by a force, and her eyes suddenly condensed.
A soft sound was heard, Sima Ke frowned, feeling a little familiar, and looked at the table subconsciously, but because of Chen Yuan's means, he couldn't feel anything at all.
His cultivation was too low.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and his fists under his sleeves were clenched.
"No... nothing, Green Envoy, this tablecloth is a bit interesting." Sima Ke raised his head and smiled lightly.
Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes flickered, his fingers tapped on the table, and said lightly:
"Since Your Highness has said this, then Chen will just say it directly. I have no intention of having anything to do with the Eldest Princess. Your Highness, don't think too much about it in the future.
If you want me to help you, it's not impossible, but you must first show your ability. A waste is not worth Chen's help. At the same time, Your Highness must understand one thing,
The case of Consort Shu has not been concluded, and it may shake the capital again one day."
Chen Yuan made his words clear, making Sima Ke's face a little gloomy, understanding that Chen Yuan was warning him, with the case of Consort Shu, he could take his life at any time.
"Ke... understands, Green Envoy, don't worry, I will definitely not worry Green Envoy." Sima Ke quickly clasped his fists and said.
"Okay, Chen has said everything he has to say. Your Highness, go back and think about it carefully. Chen will not send you off." Chen Yuan said slowly.
"No need to send me off, no need to send me off. I will take my leave. I wish Green Envoy great success in Liangzhou." After Sima Ke said with his head down, he bowed and prepared to leave.
But when he reached the door, he suddenly smelled a familiar scent, but at this time, he obviously didn't have time to think too much, and left directly, and even closed the door very thoughtfully.
Chen Yuan was silent in place for a long time. After half an hour, after confirming that Sima Ke had completely left, he lifted the tablecloth and said to Consort Yang:
"Okay, Your Highness has left, Your Highness, come out."
Consort Yang's plump body crawled out from under the table, stood up and gave Chen Yuan an angry glance, and spat to the side.
