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

Xuanyuan Jing played with the small object in his hand. Although he could tell that it looked like some kind of mechanism, he didn't think it could be a hidden weapon that could hurt people.

and……

Xuanyuan Jing: "Where did you get this?"

His tone was still relatively calm, not very stern, but his expression had become somewhat serious.

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head. "Lanxing, it's ready tonight!"

It means that she made it herself last night.

Xuan Yuanjing understood the meaning of the little girl's words. His first thought was suspicion, but then he quickly realized something and his eyes flickered.

Xiao Lanxing then said, "Give it to Father, for protection."

As he spoke, the little guy reached out and poked around in Xuan Yuanjing's palm with his little hand, flipped the mechanism over, and pressed it gently.

With a whoosh, Xuan Yuanjing saw the bed curtains directly opposite him seem to move slightly, but quickly calmed down.

At the same time, he heard a cry of alarm: "Good heavens, that scared me! How could such a thin needle suddenly shoot out from the master's bed! I would have been hit by it if I had been an inch away!"

"Thank goodness I couldn't catch my breath. Master probably didn't notice, right?"

It's a heartfelt expression.

Xuanyuan Jing slowly lowered his head, looked at the hidden weapon in his hand that seemed slightly different from the one before, and then looked at the little girl who was blinking at him.

Xuanyuan Jing: "You did this?"

Xiao Lanxing nodded obediently.

Xuan Yuanjing's lips moved, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence: "It seems she really didn't intend to harm me."

Otherwise, with such methods, how could an ordinary person possibly defend against them?!

Not only was Xuan Yuanjing startled, but the system was also taken aback.

System: [Wait, you must have known where that bodyguard was hiding, right?]

Little Lanxing's childish voice: 【It's not poisonous.】

System: [Even if such a thin needle isn't poisonous, removing it from the body would almost always require cutting away a piece of flesh, given current medical technology!]

Xiao Lanxing: [I'll get it, it's okay!]

system:【……】

Fortunately, just as the system was considering whether to give the current host some moral lessons to correct her values, the little girl spoke up again: "[It won't work.]"

The system believed it.

It wouldn't believe other little children if they said that, but since it was Xiao Lanxing who said it, it believed him.

Xuan Yuanjing closed his fingers, putting away the hidden weapon that he didn't know what to do with for a moment. He asked the girl to make room for him, then got up and got out of bed: "If you... like doing these things, you can tell Chen Li later, and I will ask him to arrange a room for you."

After a pause, he added, "Don't do what you just did again. If you want me to see something good you can make, you can tell me."

This will give him time to prepare mentally, and also allow the people protecting him in the shadows to take cover in advance.

You were lucky just now; judging from the sound, you probably didn't hit anyone, otherwise...

As he said this, Xuan Yuanjing told the girl to wait behind the screen while he slowly changed his clothes, asking casually, "Since you made this, where did the materials for it come from?"

Behind the screen, Xiao Lanxing sat in a chair, gently swinging her legs, and said without any suspicion, "It was taken apart."

Xuan Yuanjing paused slightly: "Teared it down?"

Xiao Lanxing couldn't see Xuan Yuanjing in person, but that didn't stop her from gesturing in the air: "There are so many things in the walls, tables, and chairs. If we take some out, it will be enough!"

After speaking at length, the little girl still felt a bit tired, and glanced at the teapot on the side.

She reached out and tried to grab it, but unfortunately her short arms weren't long enough, so she had to regretfully withdraw her hand.

On the other side, upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing first mentally translated the words from Chinese to Chinese, guessing: "You mean, you found the mechanisms in the walls, tables, and chairs in the room, took some things down, and made this?"

As he said this, Xuan Yuanjing felt it was outrageous, but at the same time, he inexplicably felt that it might be true.

Well, although he still doesn't believe that Xiao Lanxing is related to him by blood, Xuan Yuanjing has already decided in his mind that this little guy has an extraordinary background.

If Xuanyuan Jing hadn't been so disbelieving in ghosts and gods, he might have even directly linked the little guy to a fairy from heaven.

But no matter how extraordinary... it's still pretty outrageous, isn't it?

Xiao Lanxing was always accompanied by someone.

But he hadn't received any news before that.

Little Lanxing had no idea how complicated her father's feelings were at that moment. She swung her legs, pursed her lips, and, feeling lazy, didn't want to talk anymore.

But since it was Xuanyuan Jing who asked the question, she still answered slowly, "Mm."

Then, as if worried that her father would think she was sabotaging things, she added, "It's bad."

Xuanyuan Jing snapped out of his daze and, after hearing this, understood: "The mechanism is broken?"

The little girl nodded.

After nodding, she remembered that she couldn't see Xuan Yuanjing right now, and Xuan Yuanjing couldn't see her either, so she hummed in agreement again.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of fabric. After a while, Xuan Yuanjing changed into casual clothes, walked around the screen, and appeared in front of the little girl.

He bent down slightly, looked at the little girl, and was about to speak when there was a noise outside. Chen Li had arrived.

Chen Li: "Your Highness, news has come from over there that the person has prepared carriages, horses, and medicines. I estimate that it will be today."

The words were not clearly stated, but the master and servant had communicated several times before and each understood the meaning behind Chen Li's words.

Little Lanxing listened, confused. She tilted her head back and looked at this and that, asking in a childish voice, "Deliver medicine?"

Is the car that used to deliver medicine to Xuanyuan Jing coming again?

The two of them lowered their heads at the same time. Only then did Chen Li notice that the little girl was sitting there. After a moment of stunned silence, he knelt down to look at her at eye level, and then looked up at Xuan Yuanjing.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Jing did not stop him, he smiled and said, "No, Miss, it's just that a distinguished guest may come to visit today."

The system then explained to Xiao Lanxing: "It's what I told you before, the Emperor is coming. It seems Chen Li has spies in the palace; the news travels fast."

Although it is unclear, with some speculation, capturing some clues can help us track the movements of the corresponding person.

Xiao Lanxing understood immediately upon hearing this, and suddenly remembered what had happened before. She perked up and clenched her little fists: "Bad guy!"

She was still young, and although her logic was far superior to that of her peers, when she called out "bad guy" in her childish voice, it sounded like "bad guy" to the two adults, which was inexplicably cute.

Xuanyuan Jing, however, was more perceptive: "Do you know who's coming?"

Xiao Lanxing nodded without hesitation, grabbed his clothes with one hand, and raised her little fist with the other: "Bad guy! I'll beat him up!"
