Childbirth System: Become the Goddess of Mercy who grants children to the male protagonist!

"You decide for yourself, don't ask me about these things," Xiaobai paused, then replied, sounding aggrieved.

"I can't be emperor forever."

It's not that it's impossible, but the income and expenditure are clearly unbalanced.

Just for this tiny bit of dragon energy, they have to work hard for forty or fifty years without complaint...

Or they could wait until Xu Fu dies of old age, then choose a good time and kill him directly...

Xiao Bai silently grumbled to himself, his expression remaining completely unchanged...

"It's not impossible," Xu Fu thought carefully for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"You can be the emperor for now, and we'll replace you with someone else when you get tired of it!"

Xu Fu thought about it carefully for a while, and then made another suggestion.

"Why don't we lock all those children up together and educate them in the same way—"

"Should we choose a smarter one to inherit the throne later?"

Xiaobai thought about it for a while and also felt that this method was very feasible.

After all, aren't royal children ultimately raised like poisonous insects, where the winner takes all?

"Okay, let's do it that way!" Xu Fu nodded quickly.

He then neatly and efficiently passed the task to Xiaobai.

"I'll leave this to you. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know."

"Won't the old ministers of the previous dynasty and the concubines in the harem object?"

Xiaobai sighed; she didn't want to take on this hot potato either.

They're not even 13 years old yet, not even adults, and they have to do so much work.

Sometimes she gets really tired of dealing with unreliable people.

"Just go ahead and do it, I'll take care of things!" Xu Fu patted his chest and said proudly.

"I am the emperor of a nation. What's wrong with me occasionally acting recklessly?!"

Xiao Bai had no choice but to obey Xu Fu for the time being, doing whatever he told her to do.

Two learned scholars were specially selected to lock up more than a dozen children from the harem together.

They let the master instruct them, giving them detailed advice and instructions...

Xu Fu, while confiscating property, also sent money to his secret guards, not even sparing the Empress Dowager's maternal family.

After directly bringing down the Empress Dowager's two nephews, no one dared to mess with Xu Fu and his companion in court affairs anymore.

Xu Fu happily handed over the responsibility to Xiao Bai.

He was only interested in watching the show from the sidelines.

When Xiaobai can't take it anymore, or is driven to the brink of despair, he'll come out and cause trouble...

And the following spring, just after February 2nd, Xu Fu dropped a bombshell...

"The Crown Prince has been through so much training; I'm sure all of you ministers have witnessed her abilities firsthand."

"He is now 15 years old, and it's time for him to assume the responsibilities of a country's crown prince!"

"Therefore, I have decided to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince on February 15th, and will retire to Fenghe Garden to live out my remaining years in peace—"

Xu Fu announced his decision directly in the imperial court, leaving all the officials stunned.

Even Xiaobai opened its mouth wide, glaring at Xu Fu with a resentful expression.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Bai muttered through gritted teeth to Xu Fu.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! Please reconsider your decision!"

All the officials knelt down in unison, trying to persuade Xu Fu to retract his order.

But this wasn't the first time Xu Fu had done this, so he naturally ignored the other party's moral blackmail.

"My mind is made up. The matter of the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne shall be handled jointly by the Imperial Observatory and the Imperial Household Department!"

Xu Fu waved his hand, instructing the eunuch to adjourn the court session, and he led the way out of the Hall of Diligent Governance.

Xiao Bai glanced at the officials still kneeling on the ground, then watched Xu Fu's figure gradually disappear.

With a heavy heart, he had no choice but to chase after them.

Why did you do this? So suddenly?! I can't handle it.

Little White glared at the person with a puff of sullen cheeks.

Xu Fu looked at the child, who had only grown to his chest in a year, and sighed heavily.

"I'm doing this for your own good. You'll understand later!"

Ten days passed in a flash, fortunately Xu Fu had already secretly ordered preparations...

The Imperial Household Department handled the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne without any panic.

One step at a time, steadily and surely implementing each step of the emperor's ascension to the throne.

Xu Fu, ostensibly, had gone to the villa outside the palace, but in reality, he and his secret guards stormed into the mountains.

Xu Fu put on a silver-white mask and sat high at the head of the table.

The preparations are underway to test the results of the head of the secret guards' year-long training of the new recruits...

Xu Fu hurried along, and finally returned to the palace on the night before Xiao Bai's ascension to the throne, covered in dust from his journey.

"You actually know how to come back?!" Xiaobai looked at the person resentfully.

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were out there fooling around in some den of debauchery again—

For the past ten days or so, Xu Fu had been exposed to the elements with the soldiers.

Although he was wearing a mask, his complexion looked relatively normal, but his exposed arms and hands were dark.

Xu Fu did not explicitly tell Xiaobai his purpose, and Xiaobai did not intend to inquire further.

Now all I can do is give them a sarcastic remark.

Xu Fu didn't mind the other party's attitude and simply pulled Xiaobai into his arms.

He rubbed the other person's head with his large hand, and said with a smile,

"Come here and let your good older brother see if you've grown any taller in these past ten days!"

Xu Fu looked the man up and down.

They found that Xiaobai hadn't changed at all, and with a slightly disgusted look in her eyes, she simply let go of him.

Xiao Bai scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I've been busy handling state affairs lately, how could I have time to cultivate..."

Seeing the dark circles under Xiao Bai's eyes, Xu Fu felt only slightly guilty for a second.

"Then you should go back and rest first, and try to be in good shape tomorrow—"

And tomorrow, Xu Fu has prepared a big gift for us...

The next day, before dawn, Xiaobai was dragged out of bed.

Served by palace maids, she bathed, changed clothes, and was perfumed. Then, at the break of dawn, she went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to report to the ancestors...

Xu Fu followed closely behind the other man, attending his first coronation ceremony and finding everything fascinating.

Seeing Xiaobai drifting along aimlessly, like a puppet being told what to do and what to do,

Xu Fu couldn't help but laugh, but fortunately everything went smoothly, and in the end, he was gracefully placed on the dragon throne.

He received the homage of all the officials.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xu Fu and the others had completed all the rituals, and secretly found Xiao Bai...

Xu Fu reached into his robes and handed a small token to Xiao Bai.

With a raised hand pointing into the air, a figure in gray silently descended from the rooftop.

He knelt down directly in the direction of Xu Fu and Xiao Bai.

"What does this mean?" Xiaobai took the small token and examined it closely.

Finally, he looked at Xu Fu with utter confusion.

"These are the bodyguards I trained for you; there are 1 of them in total."

Xu Fu pointed to the person kneeling on the ground, "This is their leader."

"Even if he's not here, you can mobilize everyone with the token in your hand."

"They all obey only your orders."
