Chapter 380 You are becoming more and more like your mother
“Father, I also think it’s time for you to establish a heir apparent.” Mu Wanxi said with a slight smile.
Mu Yuan's expression condensed and he asked: "Xiao Qi, my father will ask you seriously once, do you really not want to be the emperor?"
"My father, my son, my minister. What I like more is freedom. Do you feel free?" Mu Wanxi asked.
Mu Yuan was silent for a moment.
Is he free?
In the eyes of others, as the emperor and the head of a country, he must live a more prosperous and happy life than anyone else.
But only he knows that he is not free.
Whenever he dreams about Xiao Qi’s mother at midnight, he will be so heartbroken that he wakes up in pain.
In fact, after Xiao Qi's mother left, he was already a walking corpse, and his heart had gone with her.
If he is free, then he can go with the one he loves most.
But he can't.
He is responsible for this country and for Xiao Qi she left behind.
So, he could only go against his will and continue to stay in this gorgeous cage.
"Father, I understand." Mu Yuan was instantly relieved. As an emperor, sometimes there are too many things that are impossible to do, but that kind of helplessness is something that no one in the world can understand. "Xiao Qi, if One day my father is gone, can you protect yourself?”
In fact, the reason why he was obsessed with letting Xiao Qi sit on the throne was because he was worried that after he passed away, Xiao Qi would not have absolute power and someone would plot against her.
Even if Xiao Qi marries to the Flowing Fire Kingdom and has the blessing of the emperor, he can't rest assured.
This is how a father can never let go of his daughter.
Mu Wanxi squeezed Mu Yuan's shoulders and said with a smile: "Father, my son is now capable enough to help me, haven't you seen it?"
Mu Yuan After thinking about Mu Wanxi's recent changes, a gentle smile overflowed from the corner of his lips, and a look of nostalgia flowed in his eyes.
"You are becoming more and more like your mother."
"Father, if there is a suitable candidate, you should establish the throne as soon as possible." Mu Wanxi said. Mu Yuan sighed and said: "There is no suitable candidate yet."
He has few heirs, and now that the eldest prince is gone, the other princes are too mediocre. , unworthy of the great responsibility.
"If you don't have one, hurry up and cultivate one." Mu Wanxi said.
Mu Yuan nodded: "That's all. By the way, Xiaoqi, do you have anything to do when you come to the palace?"
Mu Wanxi rarely enters the palace in the afternoon, and usually comes in the morning to say hello.
"There is indeed something that I need to talk to my father about." Mu Wanxi said with a smile.
"Then let's go over there and talk." Mu Yuan pointed to the chess table not far away.
Arriving at the chess table, Mu Yuan and Mu Wanxi sat opposite each other.
Mu Wanxi first took out the golden token and handed it to Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan took the token and looked at it carefully, "This is the token given by me personally. What's wrong?"
"Father, do you still remember? Who has these tokens?" Mu Wanxi asked again.
The rules of the palace are strict. When entering and leaving the palace, palace residents must have a token or handwriting from the palace.
Among them, the handwriting is a one-time use.
The token is long-lasting.
Imperial orders made of gold like this are even rarer, and few people in the palace should have them.
"This token only belongs to the queen, your imperial grandmother, and Concubine Jin." Mu Yuan said, and he only gave the token to these three people.
"My son found Ji Yun and discovered the murderer who killed Ji Yun. This token was found from the territory of the real murderer behind the scenes." Mu Wanxi said slowly.
Now the evidence is gradually becoming clear. The reason why the man behind the scenes was able to harm people in the palace and set up a conspiracy to destroy Feng Shui was because he had helpers in the palace.
And this helper is definitely a person with a relatively high status in the palace.
