As for the suggestion to examine Yuan Shu's health, Chen Xi fully supports it. Yuan Shu is only forty years old and has only one son, which definitely indicates a personal issue.
Although it's not considered harming Sun Ce, if Yuan Shu had a son, even if Sun Ce made no moves, the people under his command would be restless, especially Yuan Shu's loyalists. Chen Xi is very curious about how Sun Ce would choose at that time.
Sun Ce is a person who values loyalty, which Chen Xi knows well. However, this is of no use; for a monarch, occurrences of "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me" are very common. After all, ministers often coerce the monarch into power, which happens too frequently.
Even if much of it was the monarch's own idea, sometimes, when things reach a certain point, the monarch has to go with the flow and move forward.
