The issues Baili Qi mentioned were well understood by Luo Yiyun as well.
She had been persuading Baili Kai to abdicate recently, wanting Baili Qi to become the King. She claimed it was because she cared about him being too exhausted from handling state affairs and wanted to accompany him to travel the world and enjoy life.
Yet, Baili Kai, who had always been passionate about power, flatly refused, saying he wanted to dedicate his life to the throne and would not abdicate until the day he died.
Baili Kai was also obsessed with longevity, striving to live as long as possible, so Baili Qi mentioned there was a possibility that the son could die while the father was still alive. In that case, her son could never ascend to the throne.
As long as Baili Qi hasn't ascended the throne, they, as mother and son, would always face a crisis within the Royal Family, as the position of the heir to the throne is coveted by many competitors.
