Especially when he had a warm figure beside him, constantly tugging at his heartstrings.
Sima Ke gave an awkward smile and hurriedly said:
"Ke comes at this hour because I don't want too many people to notice. After all, the relationship between the Green Envoy and me mustn't be recklessly guessed at by others. Secondly, it is to send off the Green Envoy."
He swiftly stated his purpose.
Chen Yuan glanced at Sima Ke and chuckled lightly:
"Does Mr. Chen have any secret dealings with Your Highness?"
This remark wasn't inherently problematic, but Sima Ke overthought it. He assumed he hadn't handled matters with the Noble Consort well, causing Chen Yuan some displeasure, and quickly said:
"No offense, Green Envoy. The Noble Consort caught a cold today and couldn't come to see you off in person. When you return, I will ensure you are satisfied, I promise."
He couldn't possibly reveal what happened this morning.
