Chapter 964: Chapter 536: Mother Consort, You Wouldn’t Want to… (Monthly Ticket Request)
Suddenly, the palace maid outside hurriedly walked in, inadvertently catching sight of the Noble Consort’s idle hands, a flush of red adorned her cheeks, only feeling that the Consort was too fierce.
“Your servant greets the Consort.”
“What is it?”
Noble Consort Yang restored a serene look, quietly slipping Mr. Lotus Root into her sleeve.
“Reporting to the Consort, Fourth His Highness has arrived.”
“Why has he come again? Do not see him, let him leave.”
Noble Consort Yang furrowed her brow immediately, waving her hand as if greatly annoyed.
Since the last time the other party pleaded with her to intercede with His Majesty on behalf of Chen Yuan, he had come again, but she always refused to see him because she could guess what he would say.
No doubt still wanting her to attend to Chen Yuan.
Really don’t know how such a rascal came about.
Shameless!
“Yes, Consort…”
The maid immediately rose, wanting to reject Sima Ke, but at this moment he had already stormed into the palace, a flattering smile on his face:
“The child greets Mother Consort.”
“Fourth His Highness, how… how did you barge in?”
The maid was startled, wanting to make him leave, fearing punishment today.
“You leave first, my mother and son have private words to discuss.” Sima Ke impatiently waved his hand.
Did he really not barge in earlier?
That time was only to test the Mother Consort’s attitude, otherwise, with his status, which palace maid would dare stop him forcefully, being slain by his sword would not be excessive.
“Your servant…”
The maid timidly glanced at the Noble Consort, seeking permission.
Noble Consort Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger within, and softly said:
“You leave first.”
Then, after speaking, she turned her gaze to Sima Ke, a trace of impatience flashing between her brows:
“Why have you come again? If it’s still speaking those words, then roll out of the palace now.”
Sima Ke smiled awkwardly, quickly agreeing:
“Mother Consort pardons, the child did not mean that.”
Though he said so, already understanding Mother’s thoughts thoroughly, he had long known that Mother Consort had special intentions toward Chen Yuan, otherwise, why plead with Father Emperor?
“Then what do you want to say?”
“Mother Consort, perhaps you’ve heard of Chen Green Envoy’s rebirth in Nirvana, turning adverse circumstances into favorable ones, and breaking through to the Yang Transformation Realm, haven’t you?” Sima Ke immediately said.
Noble Consort Yang’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed, nodding:
“I’ve heard.”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have drunk to the point of drunkenness, holding Mr. Lotus Root thinking of Chen Yuan all night.
“What exactly do you want to say? Why mention him again?” Suddenly, Noble Consort Yang furrowed her brow once more.
Sima Ke feared nothing, slowly approached, poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Noble Consort Yang, and continued:
“Chen Green Envoy has achieved an unparalleled feat this time and will certainly be heavily rewarded by Father Emperor, granted a title, or even become a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, his potential has almost been unveiled.”
“Yes.”
“If the child can gain this person’s help, the chance of ascending to the Crown Prince position increases greatly, as long as the child can ascend… to the throne, Mother Consort you will be carefree for the rest of your life, becoming the Empress Dowager….”
Sima Ke lowered his voice, especially when speaking the word ‘throne,’ only mouthing the words rather than saying them, not daring to speak them out loud.
“Hmm….”
Noble Consort Yang took a deep breath, naturally understanding this rascal’s implied meaning, her heart now somewhat hesitant.
This time, Sima Ke had smartened up, no longer so straightforward but instead expressed subtly, he didn’t believe Mother Consort wouldn’t be tempted!
Seeing Mother Consort’s attitude wasn’t so obstinate anymore, Sima Ke continued:
“But Chen Yuan’s power has begun to reveal himself, many want to win him over. Elder Brother Sima Qian, Second Elder Brother Sima You, they all want to use Chen Green Envoy’s powerful momentum to ascend to the Crown Prince position,
in comparison, the child is now far behind.”
“Once one of them ascends to the Crown Prince position, the child will have no hope, then Mother Consort’s situation will be very poor, as for the reason, the child needs not say, you understand.”
Noble Consort Yang nodded slightly.
She was indeed well aware.
If Sima You ascended to the Crown Prince position, it wouldn’t matter, she’d merely continue to lie low; but if Sima Qian rose, given the relationship with his Mother Consort,
he would certainly find a way to destroy her.
Their feud had already become too deep.
“I….”
Seeing Mother Consort truly shaken this time, Sima Ke’s lips curled into a faint smile, slowly advancing, quietly saying in her ear:
“Mother Consort, you wouldn’t want Chen Green Envoy to be won over by them, right?”
Noble Consort Yang felt very restless inside now, swayed immensely by Sima Ke’s words.
Of course, the main reason was she had come to terms recently, unable to suppress her longing for Chen Yuan, thinking about him every night.
Coupled with the Emperor’s cold attitude towards her and the previous affair under the Earl’s mansion table, Noble Consort Yang didn’t reprimand this time but was truly moved.
Yes, all for Ke’er!
This palace is not that kind of shameless woman.
“What do you want to do?”
Noble Consort Yang’s gaze turned to Sima Ke.
Upon hearing this, Sima Ke sneered inwardly, thinking Mother Consort indeed so, earlier pretending so convincingly he almost believed her.
“You should know yourself, if the child were to say, you’d again scold me for unfilial conduct.”
“I…. I am ultimately getting old.”
Noble Consort Yang couldn’t help but raise her right hand, gently stroking her cheek, using Spiritual Objects over the years had kept her skin soft and fair, yet she was ultimately a woman over forty.
