Chen Yuan watched the other's movements, did not help him up, and simply said:
"Your Highness might be overestimating me a bit. I am merely a Golden Envoy now, with a title of Wuwei Earl and no more. How could I have the power to aid Your Highness in ascending?"
"The position of Crown Prince is crucial, but ultimately, it depends on His Majesty's decision."
"Ke is now a lone man, with no one except the Green Envoy. If the Green Envoy helps, there is still a chance to fight. If the Green Envoy also abandons me, then Ke really can only wait for death."
Perhaps his acting skills were indeed very good, or perhaps he was well-prepared. In any case, at this moment, Sima Ke's eyes were slightly red, with some glistening tears in his eye sockets.
Chen Yuan's lips curved into a cold smile.
Abandon him?
Were they very close?
Clearly, they were mutual enemies before, hating each other to the core, and now he was in tears. Thinking about it was really ironic.
