Originally, when Chen Yuan was critically injured and on the brink of death, Sima Ke was very dejected, because from what he knew, the chances of Chen Yuan surviving were only one percent.
After all, using Core Realm Cultivation to wield the True Martial Sword was not much different from courting death.
These past few days, he was even using alcohol to drown his sorrows.
Chen Yuan was a powerful ally of his, capable of forming a faction on his own. For this, he was even willing to abandon all dignity and serve with his mother consort.
He even secretly facilitated matters between him and the royal sister.
Last time, he went to Chunhua Palace for him, hoping the noble consort would plead on his behalf, but he was reprimanded, and all his efforts were wasted.
If Chen Yuan died, his hope of contending for the throne was really gone.
As it turned out, heaven didn't forsake him.
Chen Yuan... survived.
He actually... survived!
