After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 380 You are becoming more and more like your mother

"Father, I also think it's time for you to appoint a crown prince." Mu Wanxi said with a faint smile.

Mu Yuan's expression froze, and he asked, "Xiao Qi, father is asking you seriously this time, do you really not want to be the emperor?"

"Father, what I like more is freedom. Do you feel you are free?" Mu Wanxi asked.

Mu Yuan was silent for a moment.

Is he free?

In the eyes of others, as the emperor, the ruler of a country, he must be living a more glorious and happy life than anyone else.

But only he himself knows that he is not free.

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night and dreamed of Xiao Qi's mother, he would be so heartbroken that he would wake up in agony.

In fact, after Xiaoqi's mother left, he had become 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 has to be responsible for this country and for Xiaoqi, the child she left behind.

Therefore, he could only go against his own will and continue to stay in this gorgeous cage.

"Father understands." Mu Yuan was relieved instantly. As an emperor, sometimes there are too many things he can't do anything about. But that kind of helplessness is something that people in the world can't understand. "Xiao Qi, if one day father is gone, can you protect yourself?"

In fact, the reason why he was so persistent in letting Xiao Qi sit on the throne was that 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 married to Liuhuo Country and had the Emperor's protection, he still couldn't feel at ease.

This is what it's like to be a father. He can never let go of his daughter.

Mu Wanxi pinched Mu Yuan's shoulders and said with a smile: "Father, I have enough ability to help myself now. Didn't you see it all?"

Mu Yuan thought about Mu Wanxi's recent changes, a gentle smile spread across the corners 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, please appoint him as the heir as soon as possible." Mu Wanxi said. Mu Yuan sighed and said, "There is no suitable candidate yet."

He had few children, and now the eldest prince was gone. The other princes were too mediocre to handle the important task.

"If not, hurry up and train one." Mu Wanxi said.

Mu Yuan nodded: "That's the only way. By the way, Xiao Qi, is there anything you need to come to the palace for?"

Mu Wanxi seldom went to the palace in the afternoon and usually came to pay his respects in the morning.

"There is indeed something I need to discuss with my father." 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 carefully around it. "This is a token I personally gave you. What's wrong with it?"

"Father, do you still remember who holds these tokens?" Mu Wanxi asked again.

The palace has strict rules. When palace servants enter or leave the palace, they must have a token or handwritten order from the palace.

Among them, the handwritten order is a one-time thing.

The token, on the other hand, is long-lasting.

An imperial decree like this one made of gold is even rarer, and there should be few people in the palace who have one.

"This token only belongs to the Queen, your grandmother, and Concubine Jin." Mu Yuan said. He only gave the token to these three people.

"Your son has found Ji Yun, and discovered the murderer who killed Ji Yun. This token was found from the territory of the real culprit behind the scene." Mu Wanxi said slowly.

Now the evidence is gradually becoming clear. The reason why the mastermind was able to harm people in the palace and destroy the feng shui is because he has helpers in the palace.

And this helper is definitely someone with a relatively high status in the palace.
