The three-year-old host decides to raise an emperor father for himself.

No one knows the concerns about the mild winter.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lanxing had already crawled to the side of Xuan Yuanjing's bed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man on the bed who seemed to be still asleep, clutching tightly the gift she was going to give her father later.

At this moment, the system suddenly spoke up: [Host, there's an 80% chance the Emperor will make a surprise visit to Xuan Yuanjing today. Although he probably won't do anything to Xuan Yuanjing openly, you should still... never mind, spend more time with Xuan Yuanjing, preferably with him in the Emperor's presence.]

Although the system did not know what form the mind-reading ability originally prepared for the host would take after being absorbed by Xuan Yuanjing, it had some guesses based on the fluctuations in the blackening value over the past few days.

Although it's not enough to directly guess that the mind-reading switch on Xuanyuan Jing's body is Xiao Lanxing.

The system has the script and knows what Xuanyuan Jing will face when he wakes up six months later, according to the original timeline.

Little Lanxing couldn't understand the intricacies of the situation, so the system simply told her: "That emperor isn't a good person. Don't listen to him. Just stay by Xuan Yuanjing's side."

Although it was unclear what the emperor would do after learning of Xiao Lanxing's existence, the system, just in case, first carried out some simple anti-abduction measures for Xiao Lanxing.

In fact, if it's just physical damage, the system isn't worried.

I'm afraid the emperor's acting skills are so superb that he'll fool the naive and clueless young girl.

Xiao Lanxing: [Bad guy?]

System: [Yes, he's a bad guy, a bad guy who bullies your daddy!]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing secretly clenched her free hand into a fist: [To beat up the bad guys!]

System: […Wait, don't hit him yet. Your father hasn't completely broken ties with him. For your father's sake, let's be patient and not get too close to him.]

Even after being suppressed, the little girl still possesses a level of combat power beyond what ordinary people can imagine. There's no need to expose it now; it's better to keep it as a trump card, perhaps to catch those enemies off guard at some point in the future.

Of course, more importantly, Xuan Yuanjing's body has not fully recovered yet, and the past two years have seen many changes in the power structure. It is best to avoid conflict with those in power in the short term.

Xiao Lanxing: [You're bullying Daddy, hit him!]

System: [Be good, let's save it up and play it later.]

Little Lanxing frowned and waved her little fist at the void: [Bad guy, you're disobedient! Hit me! Behave!]

system:【……】

Help! I should have known better than to say it.

But not saying anything wasn't an option either. Regardless of the emperor's other abilities, his acting skills were truly exceptional. If the young girl wasn't warned, she might actually be kidnapped.

She's so beautiful, a real beauty in the making, who wouldn't like her?

What if the emperor actually speaks up?

Who knows if Xuanyuan Jing would be willing to stand up for Xiao Lanxing now?

The system felt that Xiao Lanxing could live well anywhere, but at the same time, it didn't want Xiao Lanxing to suffer in that filthy place.

If others don’t know, doesn’t he know?

The place where that damned emperor lived was a complete mess.

First, let's talk about the emperor himself. He was a man who didn't discriminate between men and women. Not only could gender not stop him, but age couldn't either. He had actually cheated on one of his ministers, and the other party was even ten years older than him!

And speaking of the emperor's harem, it was a complete mess.

Some people might put on a show, while others might just physically push a pregnant woman into a lake, causing her to lose both her baby and herself.

In the palace, the three people who could make decisions were the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress.

But the Empress Dowager passed away three years ago with the late Emperor. When she was still alive, the palace was not so chaotic, and the Emperor was relatively restrained in front of her.

After the Empress Dowager passed away, the Empress could no longer control the Emperor or the harem, so she simply stopped caring about Buddhism and was essentially rendered ineffective.

The emperor, before his death, instructed the empress dowager to treat Xuanyuan Jing well, and to pretend it was all convincing. She said that Xuanyuan Jing's fine sword might make him famous for all time if he were on the battlefield.

Then, just one year after the Empress Dowager left, Xuanyuan Jing ran into trouble.

Others may not know, but the system knows perfectly well that when Xuanyuan Jing got into trouble, it was the emperor who secretly instigated others to do it.

But his hands were clean.

If Xuanyuan Jing hadn't died, he wouldn't be afraid, since it wasn't him who did it anyway.

If Xuanyuan Jing dies, then he will have achieved his goal without getting his hands dirty. Even if he is exposed, he will only have to deal with the mastermind in front of the world and win over a group of people. How wonderful is that?

The emperor probably didn't expect that in the end, Xuanyuan Jing neither died nor survived, becoming a vegetable, which left him in an awkward position.

Now, after being in a coma for two years, Xuanyuan Jing has suddenly woken up.

Previously, the palace had sent several groups of people to probe Xuan Yuanjing's situation, either openly or covertly. However, the emperor, whether out of guilt or for some other reason, did not come to visit him immediately, citing his busy schedule with state affairs.

Today, I've arranged for carriages and horses, and I plan to come to Prince Jing's residence after court to see my good younger brother, Xuanyuan Jing.

Emperor Xuanyuan Lin did not publicize this news; apart from his people, only the system currently knows about it.

System: [Host, hitting people indiscriminately is not the behavior of a good child!]

Look at what they've been forced into this state!

The little host is usually so well-behaved and obedient!

Why do they stop listening at crucial moments?

Xiao Lanxing: [Beat the bad guys!]

She's going to fight bad guys, so it's okay!

System: [No, if you do this, it will... it will...]

The system felt like it was about to develop a brain, and quickly searched its database for how to deal with this situation.

Just then, Xuanyuan Jing, who had been dozing, finally opened his eyes, slowly got up and looked at Xiao Lanxing, who was waving her little fists by the bedside for some reason.

Xuanyuan Jing: "What is Lanxing doing? Practicing boxing? Morning exercise?"

Xiao Lanxing's attention was immediately drawn to Xuanyuan Jing. When she saw him "get up," her gaze fell intently on him, her eyes sparkling: "Daddy!"

When you open your eyes and see a pretty and cute little girl looking at you with bright, sparkling eyes, your mood will instantly improve.

Xuan Yuanjing's lips unconsciously curled up. He raised his hand and gently grasped the little girl's hand, which she hadn't yet let go of, and asked, "So, can you tell me, Lanxing, what were you doing, swinging your fist by Daddy's bedside so early in the morning?"

He didn't necessarily think the girl was going to hit him, since that was quite obvious.

Then, Xuanyuan Jing noticed what Xiao Lanxing was holding in her other hand and asked, "What are you holding?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing remembered what she was supposed to do and quickly raised her other hand, gesturing for Xuan Yuanjing to extend his hand.

Xuanyuan Jing cooperated.

Then, he had a small, exquisite object in his hand, about the size of two of Xiao Lanxing's hands. He asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Xiao Lanxing's eyes sparkled: "Hidden weapon! Protect me!"

Xuanyuan Jing: ...?

What do you think this is?
