Added DiffLines:

* PapaWolf: Li Feng genuinely loves his son and dreads the thought of anything happening to him, which is why he [[spoiler: chooses to make Chang Geng his successor in his final moments since he doesn't want to burden his young son with the dangerous responsibilities of his position as Emperor. That, and Chang Geng may or may not have insinuated that harm may come to Li Xiang if Li Feng does not give him the crown]].
