The Three Kingdoms

"Your Majesty, do you think that your Majesty still has an heir, and you will always have a bad reputation in the matter of succeeding to the throne!" Zhong Yao smiled slightly, his eyes were like lightning, and he could see through Sun Shao's thoughts at a glance.

"Sun Sheng is not here, so you don't have to think about it. The third prince is young, but the second prince, Sun Han, has grown up!" Sun Shao agreed.

"His Royal Highness, I think that if you want to successfully inherit the throne, you should not focus on His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Zhong Yao said indifferently: "You are the crown prince, and you are the crown prince appointed by His Majesty back then. No one can deny that , so if the news of His Majesty's death in battle is confirmed, you are the most qualified to succeed to the throne!"

"Then Lord Zhong thinks, who should I focus on!" Sun Shao's heart was a little hot.

"If there is one person in Jinling City who is your enemy, this person must be him!" Zhong Yao said, "He can support you to the top, but he can also take your position. How to decide is only in his mind!"

"Who?"

"You should understand in your heart!" Zhong Yao said quietly.

"impossible!"

Sun Shao stood up abruptly, trembling all over: "He won't, he..."

There are some words that even he can't say anymore.

That was his father.

Sun Quan's elder brother, Sun Ce.

He is also the only person in Jinling City who can directly influence the situation.

After all, Sun Shao had been the Prince of the Eastern Palace for almost two years, and he had begun to develop the manners of a prince. The natural fear of Sun Ce in the past also weakened a lot, so he calmed down quickly.

He stood up, took two steps, bowed his head down, and bowed respectfully to Zhong Yao: "Shao is afraid, please give me your advice!"

Zhong Yao smiled when he heard this, Sun Shao is still a good young man, his calmness is very good.

After being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is your most honorable status and the only one you can stand up to. In the current imperial court, no one is more honorable than you, but you want to stabilize the Crown Prince." Status, what you need is the full support of the empress!"

"The Empress is really kind to me, but Ping An is their biological son after all!"

Sun Shao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

At this critical juncture, he was not sure that Cai Yan and Zhen Mi would be on his side, and he believed that they were more likely to support Sun Han's ascension.

"Whether it is the Eastern Empress or the Western Empress, they are all His Majesty's confidantes. They have a deep love for His Majesty and will never violate His Majesty's choice. You are the Prince of the Eastern Palace, and your identity represents His Majesty's choice!"

Zhong Yao said softly.

"I understand!" Sun Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness!" A personal guard walked in.

"What's the matter?" Sun Shao looked a little displeased. Didn't he order that no one should disturb his conversation with Zhong Yao?

"People are coming from Fengyi Hall!"

"Please!" Sun Shao's face changed slightly.

"No!" The guard nodded and went on.

"Master Zhong..." Sun Shao looked at Zhong Yao with some embarrassment.

"I'll avoid it first!"

Zhong Yao smiled: "It's too sensitive at this time. Anyone who sees me appearing in the East Palace will affect the image of His Royal Highness, but I still have a word to tell His Highness!"

"Please say!"

"Some people need to be on guard against what they should be on guard against. Throughout the ages, among members of the royal family, mother and son have feuded against each other, father and son have killed each other, and brothers have fought against each other. It's too normal. If you want to become the Ninth Five-Year King, your heart must be ruthless!"

Zhong Yao said coldly.

"I understand what Mr. Zhong said, I will think about it carefully!"

Sun Shao sighed and said solemnly.

Zhong Yao left, and a young eunuch came to read the queen's will and summon Sun Shao to the palace for an audience.

Sun Shao didn't dare to neglect, and went directly to the palace to meet Empress Cai Yan.

At this time, in the Hall of Fengyi, Cai Yan was having a happy conversation with Da Qiao who had come into the palace to appease her.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, I'm not so fragile!"

There was a smile on Cai Yan's face, which was very bitter.

Da Qiao looked at Cai Yan with a strong smile, feeling a little heartbroken, and said: "Empress, I know that you have been with Your Majesty all these years, and you have a deep love for Your Majesty. Your Majesty's affairs have not yet come to fruition, you have to hold on!"

"I know!"

Cai Yan twitched the hair beside her ears, and said calmly: "I believe him, my husband, will not die just like this, I believe, I have always believed!"

Cai Yan's determination moved Da Qiao a little.

She couldn't understand either.

Between her and Sun Ce, since they got married, they have respected each other as guests, never quarreled, never quarreled, she respected him and obeyed him, but she always felt that something was missing, it seemed to be this attachment.

"Empress, His Royal Highness, please see me outside the hall!"

"Sheng Yuan is here?" Da Qiao smiled slightly.

This son was sent to the palace to be raised since he was a child. She rarely saw him, but she always cared about him.

"Empress, why don't you retire as a concubine!"

Da Qiao thought for a while, then said with a bow.

At this time, she knew that there must be something important for Cai Yan to call Sun Shao into the palace.

"Sister-in-law, it's difficult for Sheng Yuan to enter the palace, you should stay too!"

Cai Yan waved his hand and said to the two eunuchs, "Let him in!"

"promise!"

Sun Shao strode in, and saw Cai Yan in a phoenix robe and the dignified and virtuous Da Qiao sitting separately in the leafy garden.

"The son pays his respects to the empress empress, and to his mother!"

He is the prince of the Eastern Palace, and he respects Cai Yan as his mother.
