But thinking about it, it seems to be possible.
After all, Concubine Yang had been idle for many years, and her stubborn illness had long made her intolerable. After being diagnosed and treated by Chen Yuan, she would naturally want to be completely cured.
Counting the time, I have almost finished cultivating myself.
"Empress."
"coming?"
"Um."
"come in."
"this"
"hurry up."
Concubine Yang urged.
"Be careful of being seen."
Chen Yuan nodded. Although he knew in his heart that no one in the Hou Mansion dared to disobey his order, he didn't say anything more and turned around to close the door.
Concubine Yang didn't seem to be in high spirits. She poured a cup of spiritual tea for herself and Chen Yuan each, and sighed lightly, seeming a little bored.
"What are you worried about, Madam?"
"Your Majesty is going to establish a prince."
"Oh, who are you planning to establish?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and immediately asked.
"Your Majesty means"
Concubine Yang briefly told everything about the family dinner that day.
"This is not a bad thing, as long as His Majesty has the idea of establishing a prince."
If Jingtai had never had this idea, even if the princes fought over each other, it would be of no use, but now they have completely put the crown prince's position in the open.
The Sima Ke brothers are probably about to start fighting openly and secretly.
Whoever loses will not only lose the position of prince, but also the future throne and everything.
Winner takes all, loser no one.
"I am here this time to ask you to help Ke'er."
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't express his position at all, Yang Guifei immediately made it clear her purpose of coming. Sima Ke could not do without Chen Yuan's help for his experience in the Tianxun Division.
If he helps, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
But if he refuses, it will be difficult to move forward.
"Didn't the empress say last time that she had nothing to do with His Highness the Fourth?"
Chen Yuan looked at the other party with a faint smile and asked.
"I, I." Concubine Yang's cheeks were covered with red clouds:
"Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want Ke'er to take another step forward. After all, the relationship between you and me is also related to Ke'er.
If he really can be crowned the great treasure in the future, as long as the news is blocked, you can come in and out of the harem at will and get help in whatever you want, which is also a good thing for you."
Concubine Yang advised Chen Yuan.
Although there was some friendship between them, she could not guarantee that Chen Yuan would be willing to help Sima Ke rise to power.
"If you want to help His Highness the Fourth to rise to power, it's not as simple as giving him a hand."
Chen Yuan slowly sat down, enjoying the service of Concubine Yang who took the initiative to feed him tea.
"Then the Marquis should help Ke'er more. No matter what, he can be regarded as half of your son. Well, as long as Ke'er comes to power, I will agree to whatever you ask for."
Concubine Yang whispered, the blush on her face getting darker.
"This is very difficult to handle."
"Master Marquis, please help him. When you were in Liangzhou, the Northern Barbarians invaded massively. Ke'er also begged me several times to let me transfer you back to the capital with a few nice words in front of His Majesty."
"Moreover, I have given you some support. We have the same interests. If Sima Qian and Sima You come to power, they will never tolerate you."
There was some pleading in Yang Guifei's eyes.
Chen Yuan's eyes were uncertain. In fact, what Yang Guifei said was quite right. As far as the relationship between Chen Yuan and Sima Ke's mother and son was concerned, the most suitable thing at the moment was to help them.
However, Jingtai knew that he had great power and connections in the Tianxuan Division, and he put Sima Ke here to train. He was not sure whether there was a deeper plan.
Seeing the sincerity and pleading in Yang Guifei's eyes, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and nodded:
"Chen will help him as much as possible."
"Thanks."
"Just verbal thanks?"
"Then what else do you want?" Yang Guifei rolled her eyes at him.
She had already put on palace clothes, and she didn't believe that Chen Yuan didn't understand the meaning.
"Haha, okay, I'll excuse you, Madam, for the relationship we have, it doesn't hurt to express my gratitude verbally." As he said this, Chen Yuan thought.
The soft pillows on the bed fell to the floor.
Concubine Yang took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yuan's eyes. Her face turned even redder, but she didn't refuse after thinking about it. She bent down and knelt on the pillow. Her graceful figure was outlined in the palace dress, and she began to thank Chen Yuan for his kindness. help.
Chen Yuan stretched out his hand to hook up Concubine Yang's long hair, squinting his eyes and concentrating.
"call"
After a long time, Chen, who had been thinking deeply for a long time, let out a breath.
Concubine Yang spat lightly and quickly picked up the teacup on the table.
"Besides establishing the crown prince, what else did Jingtai say at the family banquet?" Chen Yuan's face straightened and he was quite decent.
Exhaling turbid air, he had no desires and desires at this moment. He entered another sage state and began to continue asking.
After Yang Guifei finished drinking the spiritual tea in the cup, her face suddenly became gloomy and uncertain when she heard these words.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yuan glanced at her and asked curiously.
It shouldn't be.
She quite liked the taste of this heather tea.
"Your Majesty intends to betroth Pingyang to you."
Concubine Yang said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan secretly thought that of course, he was not a stupid person. He had expected this when the atmosphere in the capital changed for the second time. He thought that coming to this family dinner was probably Jingtai's instruction.
In less than a day, everyone in the capital will know about it.
"you are not willing?"
Chen Yuan chuckled.
"What do you think?"
Concubine Yang snorted lightly.
How could she be willing?
It would have been fine before she became a Taoist friend. She could still suppress her stubborn illness, but things have already happened. Once Pingyang marries him, what kind of relationship will it be?
She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"If the eldest princess Pingyang marries me, Sima Ke's power will greatly increase, and his chances of ascending to the throne of prince will also increase dramatically. Chen thinks that the empress will support her."
"You really want to."
"Um?"
"Do you really want to take it all?"
Concubine Yang spat again, suddenly feeling that Chen Yuan was a bit shameless and perverted.
I thought it was just that my preferences were different from ordinary people, but now it seems that it is much more than that.
"Chen said that he has accumulated virtues and done good deeds. It is natural for him to have such a blessing. When the time comes, would you like to help me?" Chen Yuan teased.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I will never agree to such a request. Don't even think about it." Concubine Yang snorted coldly, but suddenly she felt that her tone seemed a little heavier, and she quickly said:
"Even if I agree, I will never agree based on Pingyang's temperament. You'd better accept this idea."
"Don't worry, Madam, Chen is just joking. Although Princess Pingyang is nice, she is not what Chen wants. I just want to be devoted to the Tao, but I have no intention of marrying and having children. Chen will refuse this matter."
Chen Yuan said seriously.
Before he knew Jingtai's true purpose, he would definitely refuse.
He is a person who is determined to rebel. He is planning to be transferred out of the capital after being promoted to the position of the four great envoys of the Tianxian Division. It is impossible to get married here.
He also became Jingtai’s son-in-law!
"real?"
Concubine Yang looked at him suspiciously.
"What do you think?"
"But where is your Majesty?"
Concubine Yang was worried for no reason. If she disobeyed the imperial decree, Chen Yuan might be suppressed by the emperor or even punished. She didn't want to see that scene.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Can Jingtai still force me?"
Chen Yuan said calmly.
If Jingtai really uses all means to force him to get married, then the plan must be bigger, and he will naturally not sit back and wait for death, or in the worst case, he will overturn the table.
If you cultivate yourself into a yang, where in the world can you go?
People are forced out.
If Jingtai is really crazy, Chen Yuan doesn't mind if the Shura Demon Lord comes online. Let's see if he, who is in the Huayang Realm, and has the power of Senior Moro, can kill him in a surprise attack.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Regarding Jingtai's character, Concubine Yang is quite clear about it. He really does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
"My dear, it's better not to worry about this matter. Chen has made his own decision."
"I believe in you."
Concubine Yang's eyes were shining. She liked Chen Yuan's confident and strong look. He was high-spirited and fearless, even if any difficulties and dangers stood in his way.
He could still fight his way out with his fists and the long knife in his hand.
"It's getting late, huh"
Chen Yuan looked at the imperial concubine with a smile.
"It's getting late."
(To save traffic, three thousand words are omitted here.)
That night.
On the roof of a high-rise building about a few thousand feet away from Wu'an Hou's Mansion, a middle-aged man who was not angry and intimidating stood with his hands behind his hands, frowning, staring at the silent Wu'an Hou's Mansion.
His name is Xiang Qianfeng, one of the Huayang elders of the Xiang family, and Xiang Lingtian's biological father. After learning that Xiang Lingtian died at the hands of Chen Yuan, and his head was widely publicized by the Sima family.
He was angry.
Xiang Lingtian is his son with the most potential, and has always been his pride. He regards him as the future head of the Xiang family, and even the crown prince after his resurrection.
No matter how Xiang Qianqiu, the contemporary patriarch, tried to temper his son, he endured it.
But he couldn't bear Xiang Lingtian's death.
He didn't dare to contradict Xiang Qianqiu, so he naturally set his target of hatred on Chen Yuan. He, the number one genius in the Central Plains, was the guy who stepped on his son's head and ascended to the Marquis of Wanhu. After hearing the news, he was thinking about it all the time. He dies.
He even asked Xiang Qianqiu to use the secret lurking in the capital to kill Chen Yuan and avenge Xiang Lingtian.
He didn't know who Xiang Lingtian's secret agent was, but he knew that a lot of the Xiang family's resources had spread to the capital, and had been accumulated over dozens of hundreds of years, which was an absolutely astonishing number.
Moreover, according to his understanding, what Xiang Qianqiu arranged could never be an ordinary secret, because that would be meaningless, and it would only count if he climbed to the top of the imperial court.
It was also because the Xiang family had some power in the imperial court that they could always foresee in advance the imperial court's encirclement and suppression of the Xiang family, so that the Xiang family did not suffer any losses.
It's a pity that those powers are only in the hands of Xiang Qianqiu, and no one knows about it except him.
But in the face of his request, Xiang Qianqiu was indifferent, and even told him that Xiang Ling's heavenly skills were not as good as others, and he could not kill Chen Yuan even with his heavy eyes at the same level. Instead, he was killed by him, so he was a waste and died. Just die.
He is also unwilling to use the strength accumulated by the Xiang family over the years to take revenge on Chen Yuan.
Then, filled with rage, he came to Shenjing City alone.
As for the news of his coming, no one else except Xiang Lingtian did not stop him from avenging his son, as if he thought he could succeed on his own.
But after he found out where Chen Yuan lived, he didn't take action immediately.
After all, this place is still the capital. If everything cannot be resolved within thirty breaths, it will definitely cause a earthquake in the capital, and once the powerful True Lord appears, he will die.
After all, in the final analysis, he is only at the peak level of God Refining.
Although his strength was one level higher than that of Chen Yuan, he still knew Chen Yuan's reputation as invincible in the same realm. Even if he was sure that he could kill him, he would never be able to resolve the battle in thirty breaths.
So after calming down, he decided to find a way to lure Chen Yuan out.
As long as they leave the city, the other party will definitely die.
He also wants to keep Chen Yuan's head in the capital and vent his anger!
It also lets the court know that the Xiang family is not that easy to mess with.
After two hundred years of accumulation, it has the strength to cause chaos.
The greatest genius in the Central Plains, dominating an era, invincible in his field, the youngest Marquis, with such a name, he is worthy enough to be Ling Tian's companion on the road to hell.
"Chen Yuan, cherish these few days, because you are about to hit the road." Xiang Qianfeng snorted coldly and murmured to himself.
He was also one of the few highly qualified children of the Xiang family, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to break through to the realm of god refining and give birth to a son with double pupils like Xiang Lingtian.
Normally, although he was not considered wise, he would never rush to the capital impulsively, but Xiang Lingtian's death completely made him explode, as if a thought in his heart urged him to kill Chen Yuan.
"snort."
Xiang Qianfeng squinted his eyes, letting out a faint chill.
Turn around and disappear into the night.
The next day, early morning.
What was different from the last time was that the imperial concubine left the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion limping before dawn, covering her mouth. It was obvious that her chronic illness had been diagnosed and treated a lot.
"call"
The sun shone through the window and fell onto the windowsill, and Chen Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Overall this practice was very good.
In addition to entering the Tao, he also found other ways and did not just follow the ordinary route.
Thinking about this time, the anxious imperial concubine should have to recuperate for a few days.
Chen Yuan's prediction was indeed good. In just one day, what happened in the palace spread to the capital very quickly, causing quite a reaction to the previous trend.
The emperor admired Chen Yuan very much and even mentioned it during the family banquet. The eldest princess Pingyang also had a good impression of Chen Yuan, which made many noble daughters feel sad.
I can only look at Zhu Kong and shed tears.
The most uncomfortable person was Zhang Wanshu. After hearing about this incident, she didn't eat for a whole day and was restless. Zhang Yantong was heartbroken.
But who dares to make trouble with the emperor's affairs?
The Zhang family has not reached the point where they can make the emperor retreat.
But compared to another matter, those rumors between Chen Yuan and Princess Pingyang seemed to be nothing. Yes, it was Jingtai's desire to establish a prince.
A huge hurricane set off in the capital.
This was the first time in the decades since Jingtai came to power that he had taken the initiative to mention this matter, which made many civil servants and generals of the court heave a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Jingtai would only pursue immortality and not think about national affairs.
They don't object to seeking immortality, and they don't dare to object, but they must at least put state affairs first. If they really want to achieve immortality, wouldn't it be better to abdicate directly and become the Supreme Emperor?
It's just that anyone with any brains or any of the nine tribes dare not say it.
There was an uproar in the capital. Chen Yuan learned about it after leaving Wu'an Mansion, but he didn't care about it and went straight to Qingyun Temple.
Moro was silent for a long time, and he would not disturb him unless absolutely necessary. The person in Taixu Palace was obviously a well-informed person, and he was ready to ask for advice.
If you really can't ask for advice, you can only try to wake up Senior Moro.
Soon, Chen Yuan, who was hurrying on his way, arrived at Qingyun Temple. Under the smiling reception of the Taoist boy, he saw Taoist Tianxu sitting cross-legged and meditating in the hall yesterday.
The other party opened a gap and chuckled:
"Donor Chen came in such a hurry so early. I think something happened."
"Senior knows things like a god. Chen came here because he really wants to ask senior about something."
"But what about marrying the eldest princess?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Old Dao Tianxu's eyes.
"Yes, senior, can you tell me the pros and cons of this?" Chen Yuan asked solemnly.
As for what the other party guessed, he did not feel surprised or shocked. There are many people in the capital spreading this matter, so it is not surprising that Taoist Tianxu knows about it.
This is not the point either.
Taoist Tianxu thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"You must never agree to this matter."
Chen Yuan's face condensed:
"What's the reason?"
"Pindao knows a little about this emperor. He is so actively promoting this matter and has a lot of plans. He wants to completely integrate you into the Sima family and always be loyal to the royal family."
"Just a marriage?"
"Of course not." Tianxu shook his head and continued:
"Marriage is just the beginning. Well, if Pindao's prediction is correct, once you get married, you will be causally involved with the Sima family.
Jingtai will use the rare treasure to make you make an oath of greatness. This oath must never be broken. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to peek into a higher realm in your life. "
"What if I don't want to take the oath?"
"The eldest princess Pingyang is the eldest daughter of the emperor, which is extremely important in itself. The emperor affects the fate of the country. As long as you get involved, it will be almost impossible to get out. You may not be able to stop her from now on.
But this is not the most important thing. If you are always loyal to the Sima family, this matter will only benefit you. With your talent and potential, the emperor will fully support your practice.
But you still have a fatal problem."
"Bloodline of the Xiang family?"
"Yes, once the fate of the country is implicated and you make an oath, the blood of the Xiang family in you will be seen through by the emperor with the help of the fate of the country. At that time, even if you make any oath, the emperor will not keep you."
"You don't know much about the horror of the Xiang family. The great ancestor had already reached the pinnacle of the human world and left a mark on his bloodline. Therefore, the cultivation talents of the Xiang family's children have always been very good.
It is precisely for this reason that the Sima family has always killed the Xiang family, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go. "
"Do you think that once your identity is exposed, Jingtai will leave you as a huge hidden danger? After all, the centipede of the Xiang family is immortal and will not freeze. With eight hundred years of inheritance, there may be something that can help you break the oath. means."
"He doesn't know how to gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble."
