The emperor held Mo Xiao's hand tightly with his backhand, looked at him, and said word by word: "When you grow up, it's time to be on your own."

Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his tone became slightly excited: "With Father here, why should I be alone? Father, I am just a playboy. I can't do anything except eating, drinking and having fun. I can't be alone."

Seeing him like this, the emperor was worried, but he frowned and scolded in a harsh tone: "In the past, when you were young, I supported you, and you could play as much as you wanted. But now that I am old, you, as a person, My son, it’s time to stand up and shoulder your responsibilities.”

Mo Xiao: "Father..."

"Okay," the emperor held Mo Xiao's hand tightly, looked into his eyes, and said word for word, "You are my son, I believe in you."

Mo Xiao pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

"Later, I will let them come in and establish the crown prince in front of everyone."

When the emperor said these words, he still held Mo Xiao's hand tightly, and his tone was serious and solemn: "After today, you will no longer be an ordinary prince, but the crown prince of the country, the future king of a country. You can no longer be like this." I used to be a fool, do you understand?"

Mo Xiao pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak for a while.

The emperor frowned and asked again: "Do you understand?"

Mo Xiao then stepped back a little, bent down and kowtowed, and said word by word: "I will remember it."

The emperor then nodded and said, "Don't let me live up to my expectations of you."

Mo Xiao: "Yes, I will protect this country for my father and come back after my father is well."

The emperor's eyes moved slightly but said nothing.

Mo Xiao's words were exactly what he was thinking.

Even at this point, he still doesn't want to delegate power. However, a country cannot live without a king for a day. He is not in good health now. If the prince is uncertain and no one is in charge of the government, there will be big trouble. He had no choice but to push Mo Xiao out.

This son is his and the queen's legitimate son, and his background is beyond reproach. He is even more intelligent and capable, and is the most outstanding of all his sons. Apart from those, the most important thing is that this son is the most obedient and filial.

The emperor looked at Mo Xiao, looked at him deeply, and told himself in his heart: This prince has no ambition.

Without ambition, he can rest assured.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and whispered: "Let them come in."

The queen and Mo Xiao looked at each other, stood up and stood aside.

After a while, all the ministers filed in, and soon the room was full of people kneeling. They looked at the emperor lying on the bed in silence, and their eyes drifted to the Ninth Prince standing in the corner. Everyone knew what was going to happen.

Sure enough, the little eunuch beside the emperor took out an imperial edict and read it in public.

Mo Xiao walked out and knelt in front of everyone.

As the little eunuch's somewhat shrill voice fell, the former Ninth Prince transformed into the Crown Prince.

After reading the imperial edict, the young eunuch lowered his head and looked at Mo Xiao, and said politely: "Your Highness, please accept the edict."

This changed his mind.

Mo Xiao stretched out his hands to take the imperial edict, and then stood up.

Among the officials behind him, Zhou Chen was the first to speak: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."

General Chen and Marquis Zhongyong followed closely: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."

With the person taking the lead, the others spoke one after another: "See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
