CapĆtulo 1395: Chapter 681: Destiny Is Mine!
Sima Ke indeed had his body stiffen for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
āMother, itās futile. Chen Yuan has always been an ambitious person, and the marriage granted by Father before has only intensified the conflict. Heā¦ā Princess Pingyang did not finish her words, but the meaning was clear.
She had been keeping an eye on the second young lady of the Zhang Mansion. Ever since discovering her inexplicably missing a few days ago, she knew what Chen Yuan intended to do in the future.
However, she did not go to report it.
For one, it wasnāt necessary, as many in the court were already aware, but due to Zhang Yantong, no one investigated or dared to speak.
The Emperor probably didnāt care either.
Another reason, she didnāt want to report it.
Leave a line for oneself, so that there will be a chance to meet again in the future.
āThisā¦.ā
Yang Noble Consort took a gulp, feeling even more anxious and despondent, she stayed silent for a long time, then turned her gaze to Pingyang, who always had good ideas, and asked:
āPingyang, what should we⦠do now?ā
Even though she was quite fond of Chen Yuan and had a Daoist bond with him, in these times, she knew the only one she could rely on was herself.
He wouldnāt and couldnāt escape to Shuzhou.
āLetās wait and see.ā
Princess Pingyang said softly.
She had some cunning and methods, but compared to the grand scheme of the world, they were far too insignificant.
With her little power, she didnāt even have a True Master of Yang Transformation, what could she use to control the situation?
āSister, is there really no other way? In two days, itās⦠the ancestral ceremony.ā Sima Ke couldnāt help but say.
āBrother, you overestimate me. The chaos in the Central Plains, at least requires a True Monarch to be involved, what do I have to stir up the winds and clouds? Instead of speculating behind closed doors, you might as well relax, either Father succeeds and the court reorganizes the Central Plains, or chaos ensues and we either end up imprisoned or dead.ā
āIsnāt there any other way?ā
āYes.ā
āWhat is it?ā
Sima Ke and Yang Noble Consort both had their eyes light up.
āIn two days, Chen Yuan will cause a commotion at the Heaven Worship, dying at Fatherās hands, and Father will successfully ascend to the position of Human Emperor, thereby ensuring the safety of our family. Alternatively, if Chen Yuan dominates the world, the little connection between you could also save your lives.ā
Princess Pingyang glanced at her mother, speaking lightly.
Yang Noble Consort instinctively lowered her head, not knowing how Pingyang learned about her little dealings with Chen Yuan, it was reallyā¦. a bitā¦.
Stirring!
āWh⦠what a joke.ā
Sima Ke chuckled bitterly.
He admitted that his foster father had some skills and talent, but how could he possibly dominate the world?
āAccording to rumors, Chen Yuanās cultivation is only at the level of Refining God, how could he dare come to the Capital?ā Yang Noble Consort coughed lightly twice, not even mentioning whether Chen Yuan could dominate the world.
It was obvious she didnāt believe in this Daoist friend of hers either.
āI donāt know about his strength, but⦠in two days at the Heaven Worship, he will definitely return, and will certainly cause a lot of commotion.ā
āHow can you be sure?ā
āJust wait and see.ā
Princess Pingyang smiled mysteriously, recalling the woman from Shuanghe Temple, though she wasnāt Chen Yuanās woman, she was Jiang Heās woman.
Given their relationship, they will surely come!
Princess Pingyang was absolutely certain!
āSince youāre so certain, sister, why donāt you report this to Father?ā
Sima Ke spoke up.
āIāve told you now, you go ahead.ā
āIā¦.ā
Sima Keās tone suddenly stiffened, wanting to go, but upon thinking of Chen Yuanās face, he held back.
Itās unnecessary, and⦠he doesnāt want to go.
āAh, canāt this world have a few years of peaceā¦.ā
Seeing her most knowledgeable daughter say this, Yang Noble Consort could only sigh lightly.
In a few years, Keāer might become the Crown Prince with Chen Yuanās help, and sheā¦. would become an even deeper Daoist companion with him.
Without that Reincarnation thing, she was feeling more and more empty.
After chatting for a while, Princess Pingyang gradually grew a bit impatient and got up to leave.
Seeing this, Sima Ke casually asked:
āWhat is sister busy with?ā
āBusy with something interesting, Iāve let go of other thoughts now.ā Pingyang smiled, gently dragging her long skirt as she slowly left.
Father has caused such a commotion at this time, surely he has some plans, and once the world is settled, she will probably be married off, whether to a Barbarian or a Minister.
If chaos fully erupts, thenā¦. there will be even less room for her to maneuver.
Intrigue, in the end, canāt compare to Martial Arts.
Since the founding of the Sima Family, there have been hidden dangers, and once the world is in complete chaos, regardless of any schemes by them or a ruler, they canāt escape the path to destruction.
This chaos cannot be reversed by human strength.
So, while thereās still time, do what you want to do.
Itās a pity that Chen Yuan did not accept her.
Even though intending rebellion, actually no need to worry about her status, in factā¦. she also wants to rebel, wants to sit on that supreme seat.
She could still be a wise and helpful partner.
What a pity, what a pity.
All these years, he was the only man who caught her eye.
If she were to marry a Barbarian or those she despises.
Might as well die of illness at home.
One wonders if that guy would feel heartbroken upon hearing of her death, even if just for a moment, actually that would bring some joy to Princess Pingyang.
Watching his sisterās retreating figure, Sima Ke didnāt know why, but felt the confidence she once had, which rivaled any man, was gone, insteadā¦. she seemed more like a woman in waiting to be married.

Imperial City, Stargazing Tower.
Jingtai slowly opened his eyes, a mysterious pattern flickering at his brow, a faint smile curling at his lips, and there was a white jade censer in front of him.
The incense smoke filled the room, seemingly elevating him into a high and mighty God.
Beside him lay a brush, Wu Daoziās Fengyun Brush, his Primordial Spirit was also entrusted to it, witnessing with astonishment all the changes Jingtai had undergone during these days.
āSage of Painting, watch as I revive Great Jin, rivaling the Immortal Gods, the timeā¦. has almost come, also curious whether the one seeking to right wrongs will dare to come, hehe, truly thereās some anticipation.ā
The scheme has come to fruition; destiny is on my side!
This⦠is the source of his confidence.
