The Empress Dowager Yang's expression changed:
"Did someone come to talk to you about something?"
"Yes, someone came to me, promising that if I helped him once, he could completely keep Chen Yuan here, and even amidst the world's chaos, the Sima Family would have a place."
"Now that the court's power is in Pingyang's hands, how can they ask for your help?"
"This, mother... I can't say."
"So, what is your decision?"
"I don't know."
The Empress Dowager Yang stood up, dragging her long skirt, and slowly came to Sima Ke's side, staring into his eyes, she spoke solemnly:
"Ke'er."
"Your son is here."
"Though Mother lives in the deep palace, she is not unaware of the outside world. Now Chen Yuan commands an army of a million, the Central Plains Thirteen States, nearly all are under his control.
He is even hailed as the greatest person in history, comparable only to the Chu Grand Ancestor a thousand years ago. Do you believe you can contend with such a presence?
