"Plus, she controls a large number of troops and almost the entire court. Mother, as long as she has this intention, the throne will be within her grasp without any effort."
"On the contrary, Your Majesty, they have no bargaining chips to rely on. Their only bargaining chip is the trust of the prince. Once Prince Rui no longer trusts them, the ending can be imagined."
The fact is, they have already lost the trust of King Rui.
Of course, there is another thing that makes him happy, that is, judging from the current situation, the prince’s feelings for the woman in the palace are probably no longer there.
"Heng'er, mother knows what you mean, but will Queen Rui really give up on Li Sang? After so many years, if she could really see through it, she would have seen through it long ago."
Shang Xiang looked at his son, whose eyes showed a hint of spring, and sighed worriedly.
Ever since he was rescued by the prince in Beishan last time, his son's attention has shifted from His Majesty to Prince Rui little by little.
This was not a good thing, nor was it the ending she wanted to see.
Prince Rui is now very unpredictable.
Even she couldn't figure out what she was thinking now.
"Time can wear away everything."
Based on Shang Shuheng's understanding of the prince over the past few days, he believed that such a wise and intelligent prince would definitely not be able to see through Li Fengjun's little tricks.
"What's more, it was Li Fengjun who betrayed the prince and failed the prince's kindness. I'm sure the prince must be angry."
Although on the surface Li Sang was forced to enter the palace due to family pressure, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he simply despised the prince for being a powerless prince at the time
It was because the prince was young at the time that he believed his lies.
"So what do you mean...?"
Shang Bi values this son who has been very smart since childhood very much.
Therefore, some matters concerning state affairs would not be deliberately concealed from him, and sometimes even his opinions would be sought.
Shang Shuheng thought for a moment and said calmly, "What I mean is that we shouldn't choose anyone right now, and just wait and see what happens."
"You mean to remain neutral?"
Shang Xiang originally thought that he would choose to join the prince, but unexpectedly, the answer her son gave her was once again unexpected and extremely satisfying to her.
Shang Shuheng nodded: "Yeah."
"Heng'er, you and King Rui..."
Shang Xiang was a little curious about the progress between his son and King Rui.
"It's just ordinary communication at the moment."
"After all, the prince saved me, so I can't just not show any appreciation. I have to at least show some basic courtesy."
Although Shang Shuheng spoke very modestly and officially, there was confidence in his eyes.
"Don't come here too often, or you'll attract the attention of His Majesty and the others. You need to be careful about what you do."
She did oppose her son's association with the prince before, but now, looking at the situation, it is very likely that the prince will be the final winner.
Although the prince is very kind to Li Fengjun...
But feelings are the most fragile and the most hurtful.
Although the prince is not young anymore, fortunately he has not even had a little servant in these years and has always kept himself clean.
Heng'er won't suffer any loss if he marries her.
"I know."
Shang Shuheng had an arrogant look on his face.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never felt that men are really inferior to women.
Among the four major countries, Huangming, Dongjin, Xiyu and Beiyao, except Huangming, the other three countries are male-dominated and the imperial academy is in power.
