How could Li Xing not understand what Wan Ge meant by saying that? In fact, he was also well aware that his mother's health was deteriorating.

He knew his mother wouldn't last much longer, and Li Xing couldn't make up his mind about this, so when his mother first brought it up, he said they needed to discuss it properly.

The Queen showed no displeasure and simply replied "okay" to his suggestion.

…

When Li Xing got home, she found that Wan Ge was also home, but the clothes she was wearing... "Did you go to work again?"

Wan Ge patted his head and replied, "My body is fine now, and I should be able to return to normal work."

"But I still want you to rest for a while longer. You finally have some time to rest, and besides, I'm worried that your body isn't fully recovered." Although superhumans have powerful regenerative abilities, she had suffered such serious injuries after all. Although she didn't seem to have changed much now, he was still worried about her.

Wan Ge looked at him and said again, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Actually, when she saw him come back, Wan Ge noticed that he seemed to have something to say to her, but he changed his mind after seeing that she was wearing her work uniform.

Li Xing then remembered the thing that had been bothering her, and told Wan Ge everything in one go.

Wan Ge seemed to have been thinking for a long time: "I know you don't have a very deep relationship with the Queen, but she is still your mother, and you are not without feelings for her. I don't want you to have any regrets."

And I think you've grown up now, and it's time for you to take responsibility. I believe you can do a great job, you'll definitely do an exceptionally good job.

Li Xing held her hand tightly, and Wan Ge held his hand back, looking at him with all her eyes, and continued, "And I will be with you, I will always be with you, so don't be afraid, be brave and do what you want to do and can do."

Li Xing nodded, looked at Wan Ge in front of him, and replied, "Okay, I know what I should do."

…

The next day, Li Xing told the Queen that he was willing to fulfill the responsibilities he should take.

The Queen was surprised that he had figured it out in just one night; the evening song had a real influence on him.

Although she still felt something was amiss, the Queen remained silent. Putting aside the possibility that her son might be prone to romantic entanglements, she genuinely liked Wan Ge.

My son is obsessed with romance, and I'm worried that it might cause some bad consequences in the future. Being too obsessed with romance could affect the safety of the entire interstellar space.

If he starts to listen to everything Wan Ge says and everything revolves around her, then his position as king will be nothing more than a figurehead.

But if Wan Ge can truly do a good job, it wouldn't be a bad thing if she could fulfill the responsibilities of the Queen. It is precisely because the Queen felt that whoever was in power was suitable that she always hesitated to speak her mind.

Li Xing also told his mother that he would help with some government affairs at the gala, and that he should spend more time with her.

When Li Xing said these words, the Queen was taken aback for a moment, but she accepted them readily.

She thought the child would resist getting close to her, but to her surprise, the child was willing to interact with her and accompany her in her old age.

After the Queen abdicated, Li Xing stayed by his side for a long time.

The Queen was somewhat puzzled. Didn't he need to deal with matters in interstellar space?

Li Xing told her that Wan Ge would handle all the scheming matters, and he would just need to review them.

Wan Ge categorizes and summarizes all matters, big and small, and then handles them according to their urgency. After handling them, she reviews them, which saves him a lot of time.

"I didn't expect her to have such talent." The Queen spoke softly, her tone a mixture of admiration and concern. As she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to her son and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried that she will take your place?"

Although they are husband and wife, for millions of years, whether in the very feudal ancient times, or in the ancient times that shouted for equality for all, or in the modern times where it was either zombies or humans, or now... power has always been a knife, a knife that allows desires to grow unchecked.

Li Xing replied softly, "I don't care about that. I think my mother knows that, and she doesn't care about that either. I've always understood that."

Li Xing knew everything. He had no intention of seizing power; he only wanted to solidify his position so that he wouldn't be bullied after taking power.

That's why he wanted to have some rights of his own. But sometimes, even if he didn't want something, someone would offer it to him. If he didn't understand this, he would be a fool. So he didn't say anything and silently accepted it, knowing that it would be his sooner or later anyway.

But by then he realized that no matter how much power his mother delegated to him, she didn't care when she actually took that position.

"Besides, if she wants it, as long as she shows it, I will definitely give it to her." The main problem is that Wan Ge hasn't shown it, and Li Xing doesn't know whether she wants it or not. However... he really doesn't think Wan Ge would want it. She is just genuinely helping him right now.

"Since that's what you think, then I have nothing more to say. Just be happy."

…

In the second year of Li Xing's reign, Her Majesty the Queen passed away, but she left happily.

In the last year of her life, she traveled to many places, accompanied by her son. She truly hadn't expected that Li Xing would be willing to do so many things with her.
