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

Xiao Lanxing wanted to see her father as soon as possible. On the one hand, she was curious about her father because she had no memory of him and could not imagine his image.

On the other hand, the system said that her father was in a bad situation and needed her help.

Xiao Lanxing felt that she was a good child. Good children know that their father is not good, so naturally they want to see their father as soon as possible and help him.

However, Chen Li did not agree. He simply asked Doctor Fang to examine Xiao Lanxing and temporarily confirm that the little girl had no major problems. Then he prepared to have others play with the little girl.

However, when Chen Li was about to leave, Xiao Lanxing grabbed the hem of his robe.

One was big, one was small; one was tall, one was short; one looked down, the other looked up; they stared at each other for a while.

Chen Li was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Miss, why don't you stay here for now? I'll take you to see the Prince when he wakes up, okay?"

Xiao Lanxing blinked: "When will Daddy wake up?"

At this moment, besides the two of them, there were two maids who had been transferred by Chen Li and an old doctor in the room. They all heard the conversation between the two and their expressions changed slightly.

Chen Li wasn't unaware of it, but he didn't intend to explain anything at this time.

Everything is still uncertain, and neither denying nor affirming is a good choice for Chen Li at this time; it's better to avoid the topic altogether.

Chen Li turned around, squatted down, and looked at the little girl: "I can't be sure about that either, but I promise that as soon as His Highness wakes up, I will inform His Highness about the little girl's situation immediately."

Xiao Lanxing met the eyes of the person in front of her and blinked: "You don't believe me."

Chen Li paused, then smiled: "Miss, I also need to investigate this matter first..."

As Chen Li said this, he was a little worried that the baby in front of him might cry.

He was even prepared to coax people, but he wouldn't change his mind.

However, Xiao Lanxing did not cry. She just looked at Chen Li seriously for a while before saying, "Then you need to investigate quickly."

Chen Li was genuinely surprised. His eyes widened slightly, and after a moment of eye contact with Xiao Lanxing, he chuckled and nodded, "Okay."

Xiao Lanxing let go of Chen Li's hand and said, "I won't wait too long."

Her expression was extremely serious: "If you don't hurry, I'll find my father myself."

The system said that once the host enters the Prince's mansion, it can find an opportunity to let the host sneak away to Xuan Yuanjing's place.

Little Lanxing, at her age, didn't understand much; all she knew was that she could find her father anytime.

This is enough.

So Xiao Lanxing didn't make a fuss at all. After all, a child's crying has its own purpose, and Xiao Lanxing is a smart little baby. She knows that she can achieve her goal, so there is no need to waste her energy.

Chen Li had no idea what Xiao Lanxing was thinking, and he didn't really take Xiao Lanxing's words to heart.

After all, a baby entering the Prince Jing's mansion is like entering their headquarters. No matter what, they can't just not keep an eye on a baby and let her run around, even into the heavily guarded main courtyard.

Then that very night, Chen Li was proven wrong.

——————————————————————————————

The night was dark and the wind was high. In the autumn of Beijing, it was cool enough during the day, but even more chilly at night.

A dark shadow passed silently from the shadows, and apart from the swaying shadows of the trees, the heavily guarded Prince Jing's mansion seemed unable to detect its appearance and disappearance.

The only system to witness all of this was speechless as it watched its shrunken host, a mere three-year-old child, brazenly darting around the palace with maxed-out stealth and physical abilities.

Yes, although the host is only three years old, she is still a three-year-old baby with innate stealth and physical skills.

The system, which had made a series of preparations, ultimately served only to provide its host with a clear map.

Even the route was planned by the host herself... Oh, I shouldn't say planned, because the current host doesn't have that awareness; she's just acting on intuition.

The system looked through its own system logs and was speechless.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have discovered that the host had only shrunk in age and mental capacity, while other data remained unchanged.

It's scary.

Quite scary.

After all, a three-year-old child wielding great force is far more lethal than an adult.

Adults may know how to behave appropriately, but a three-year-old may not.

So the system was speechless at Xiao Lanxing's actions while simultaneously making some data adjustments with a headache.

It's definitely not feasible to expect the host to be a weak and helpless three-year-old. This mission is somewhat dangerous, and even a baby can't always be properly protected. The ability to protect oneself is essential.

After much deliberation, the system ultimately sealed away a portion of the host's martial prowess, retaining only a small amount—enough to defeat an adult.

System: I've been very conservative!

After all, the previous host really did blast the mountain over by himself!

As for whether it's outrageous for a three-year-old to take down an adult... outrageous? My kid is naturally incredibly strong!

Such special cases do exist; there are always one or two among ordinary people, it's not unusual!

System: [Su, Lanxing, Xuanyuan Jing's room is just ahead. There are two guards at the door, two more behind the door, and two more hidden guards inside. Be careful.]

Xiao Lanxing didn't even need to bend over to hide completely in the bushes. Hearing this, she glanced at the house under the moonlight not far away and blinked her round eyes.

Xiao Lanxing: [What are secret guards?]

System: [Hidden guards are those who protect others from the shadows. There are two hidden guards in the room, one hidden in the beam and the other in the shadows near the window. They are generally difficult for ordinary people to spot.]

System: [The Jing Prince's guards are the elite of the elite, even more capable than the Emperor's own guards.]

The system only mentioned the last sentence casually, since the current host might not understand it anyway. The system only hoped that she could try to prevent the mission target from turning completely evil as the daughter, so as to avoid future bloodshed.

Romantic relationships are out of the question, but family-themed relationships are still worth a try.

After all, its host's juvenile form looks incredibly cute!

Although the system was tricked by its host, it couldn't even get angry at such a cute and adorable host, so the mission target probably wouldn't be so cold-hearted either.

With that in mind, the system was ready to put the host in an "invisible" state.

As a result, Xiao Lanxing squatted down, groped around on the ground in the dark for a while, picked up a stone, stood up, looked around, and threw it in a certain direction.

Boom!

"who!?"
