Lanning was silent for a long time.

Among the three targets, she spent the most time with Xuan Heng, and she more or less understood Xuan Heng's thoughts at certain times.

With the support of the system's favorability, she was not worried that Xuan Heng would suddenly turn against her, but if she wanted to fully understand what the other party needed deep in his heart, she would still need some time.

Being obedient and gentle...these are obviously not what Xuan Heng needs most.

Lan Ning looked at Xuan Heng silently. She was keenly aware of the turbulent waves in the man's eyes, as if he was ready to attack if he encountered danger.

Is it because of those two kids?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take the child away." Xuan Mo also wanted to keep the little guy with Lan Ning. He found that he had some different thoughts about Lan Ning recently. He gradually fell in love with this tough little princess.

If I keep someone she likes by her side, it will be more convenient for me to come to the Regent's Palace to see her.

Unfortunately, this probably touched Xuan Heng's reverse scale. The proud Regent Prince would not allow his territory to be tainted by others.

Xuan Mo cannot selfishly use this child's life to fulfill his own wishes.

Jing Ye was also more taciturn than Xuan Heng. He held the child tightly in his arms. After hearing Xuan Mo say this, he also promised: "I will take it away too."

They did not stay in the Regent's Palace for long. After informing Lan Ning of the Empress' decision today, they left with the children.

-

"I have to go to court tomorrow?" Lan Ning could hardly hide his surprise. This decision was too hasty. Wasn't the matter of letting her go to court only mentioned in the past two days?

"The Empress is even more seriously ill." Xuan Heng said indifferently.

The empress now dared not trust Fu Rou. Under pressure from many sides, she had no choice but to place her hopes on Lan Ning. Moreover, Lan Ning had heterochromia and was backed by Xuan Heng, so no one in the court dared to bully her.

Lan Ning understood, but she rolled her eyes and looked at Xuan Heng's expressionless face again, "You are in a bad mood, why?"

Xuan Heng's eyes paused. He frowned, then quickly relaxed. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, pressed against her cat ears, and said in a wronged voice, "You are mine, and they covet mine."

Well, now I am on the verge of becoming evil.

Lan Ning felt that the fuse should be the two children. She understood Xuan Heng's obsession with Youyi, and it was also because she acted too indifferent that made Xuan Heng feel insecure.

"So do you like children?" Lan Ning asked.

Xuan Heng was silent for a while, "I don't like it."

Even among the orcs who pay attention to newborns, it is only for the prosperity and continuation of the tribe. If you ask the orcs themselves whether they like children or not, only a very small number of them are sincere about it.

Not to mention the snake clan whose bloodline is already weak.

Xuan Heng had no good father and no good fellow tribesmen. He grew up in fighting and struggling, and became the regent by stepping on countless corpses. Being needed by that group of hypocritical and indifferent tribesmen did not make him feel any happiness or satisfaction.

He was unwilling to be chosen to be the regent of Wanjing City, and he was even more unwilling to become a slave to a superficial person.

Ever since he met Lan Ning, he discovered that he was not completely rotten. What a sincere and pitiful girl she was. She would never question him, blame him, or ignore him. With her around, the cold Regent's Palace seemed to have warmed up.

Xuan Heng became more and more addicted to Lan Ning's gentleness and obedience. He discovered that people could also be lively and cute. As long as he was in touch with her, he could also be warm.

He wanted to get closer and closer to Lan Ning, and wanted to be needed by Lan Ning, just her need.

"I wouldn't be a good father." Xuan Heng said self-deprecatingly.

Lan Ning was stunned. The word family seemed very distant to her. As far as she could remember, there had never been a father around her, and her mother... was a person with a strong desire for control.

As long as they are her children, they must grow up according to the method she specifies.

Lan Ning couldn't help but imagine that if she had a child in this world, she would not be a good mother because she didn't know how to be good to a child.

"Do you know the rules for selecting people in the tribe?" Xuan Heng rarely wanted to talk about his past. Every time he recalled his childhood, he would always have murderous intentions. Only now, quietly feeling the warmth in his arms, seemed to be able to suppress the coldness spreading from his soul.

Lanning shook his head.

"The snake tribe survives by killing each other." Xuan Heng said calmly, "Snake tribe members of the same age are locked together and deprived of food and water for three consecutive years. The ones who survive at the end are the ones to be sent to Wanjing Country."

Isn’t this just raising poisonous insects?

Lan Ning was a little shocked. She felt that this experience was in line with the background of a villain, but when Xuan Heng really told it aloud, the feeling of being there still made Lan Ning sigh with emotion.

"That's why I hate people using their children to take credit for something." Xuan Heng said with a smile.

His mother is like this, Furou is like this, and Yanxuan is like this too.

"I'm sorry." Lan Ning pursed her lips. Her expression was full of self-blame, and Xuan Heng couldn't help laughing out loud.

He couldn't help but rub Lan Ning's cat ears. "It has nothing to do with you. I just felt something when I saw those kids. But I still hope that I am number one in your heart."

This was the third time Xuan Heng mentioned this word.

Lan Ning's cat ears moved, she put her arms around Xuan Heng's waist, leaned in his arms and listened to his strong heartbeat. She felt safe around Xuan Heng, such a strong man always mentioned first to her, it was not difficult for her to guess what Xuan Heng meant.

Perfect Xiaoliu said that the men of the Orc tribe are extremely loyal to their partners. They only have one wife in their lifetime, but the women in this world cannot satisfy their needs. For Yu Xuanheng, his commitment is not only to be the first, but also the unique first.

No matter what.

Lan Ning thought of a great idea. She suddenly raised her head and called him softly, "My Lord."

"What's wrong?" Xuan Heng responded. He lowered his eyes to meet those jewel eyes. After some time, the scars on Lan Ning's face became lighter, his face became rounder, and his body was much better.

Lanning: "I want a little snake."

Xuan Heng was stunned. He couldn't figure out what Lan Ning meant for a moment, but looking at Lan Ning's serious expression, he couldn't control his random thoughts.

"Your Highness?" Lan Ning was a little nervous. Seeing that Xuan Heng didn't say anything, she was still wondering if she was being a little hasty.

Xuan Heng came back to his senses. He turned his head uncomfortably and said vaguely, "Let me think about it."

Lan Ning was a little helpless. As expected, she still cared about it, but she just wanted to try raising it herself. After all, no matter which animal appeared around her, it would not be as safe as a snake. After all, it was a member of the same clan as Xuan Heng.

"Okay." Lan Ning's ears drooped again. Xuan Heng felt confused when he saw his lost little look. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

"It's getting late. Go to bed first. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Xuan Heng put her on the bed and turned on the floor heating in the house. He only breathed a sigh of relief after coaxing Lan Ning to sleep.

Xuan Heng strode out of Narcissus Pavilion and ordered, "Call the doctor."
