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

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't think too much about the little girl's claim of being bullied.

But for some reason, Xuanyuan Jing was somewhat concerned.

However, rather than asking the little girl about the dream content that she clearly couldn't remember, Xuan Yuanjing was more concerned about the little girl's obviously aggrieved state.

Soothing the child is more important.

Xuanyuan Jing: "Good boy, Xingxing is so great. Even in her dreams, she is protecting Daddy."

Little Lanxing said with a wronged expression, "Xingxing didn't protect Daddy well, Daddy got hurt."

Xuan Yuanjing's eyes flickered slightly.

Are you injured...?

Although it's unclear what the little girl's dream was about, it doesn't seem right to say it's a case of "what you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

During the time the young girl was in the manor, others were still fooled by the feigned illness and weakness that Chen Li and she had put on. The young girl was actually someone who knew the truth, at least she...

and many more.

A scene flashed through Xuan Yuanjing's mind.

That was shortly after he woke up. He had just regained consciousness, and his condition and the sudden appearance of those heart sounds in his mind made him somewhat confused.

Later, for various reasons, he forgot about it...

What was the little girl thinking back then?

"So weak."

Ah... that's the sentence.

Xuanyuan Jing: ...

Although Xiao Lanxing would occasionally say she would protect him and that he was being bullied, Xuan Yuanjing, a man who had once scared the enemy into fleeing overnight just by his name, really didn't take it too seriously.

Of course, it's not that we didn't take the girl's desire to protect us seriously, but rather that we took the girl's perception of us as the weaker party seriously.

The little girl's intentions were precious, especially her sincerity. Xuan Yuanjing was deeply moved and was willing to cooperate with her instead of arguing with her.

but……

Xuanyuan Jing: My daughter doesn't really think I'm weak, does she?

Considering the girl's own abilities, it's quite possible.

Xuanyuan Jing: Not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanyuan Jing chose to ask the little girl directly, "Does Xingxing think Daddy is weak?"

Xiao Lanxing's mind raced faster than her mouth: "That's right!"

But the little girl was a sensible and considerate girl. She didn't say that, but after a moment of silence, she answered softly, "I will protect Daddy."

Children shouldn't lie, especially to their parents, and she knows that.

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

Ok.

Perhaps he should find an opportunity to prove his abilities.

We can't really make a young girl worry about how to protect herself every day, can we?

Even if Xuanyuan Jing could sense that he would be surrounded by wolves after waking up, he really didn't need a baby to be so worried.

Xuanyuan Jing made the little girl face him directly and said seriously, "Although I don't know why you think that way, Xingxing, Daddy is not weak."

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head. "I didn't say Daddy was weak."

She was just thinking it to herself.

Xuanyuan Jing heard it all clearly...

Xuanyuan Jing hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

But he can't exactly say, "You're not even allowed to think about it."

Then Xuanyuan Jing asked seriously, "Does Xingxing know who her father is?"

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head, her eyes glistening with tears, and said, "Daddy is Daddy."

Xuanyuan Jing: "...Father used to be a great general."

Xiao Lanxing: "General?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "Yes, he is a great general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, leading many soldiers to protect the country. He is very powerful."

After saying this, Xuan Yuanjing realized that he had unconsciously followed the little girl's habits and added a lot of interjections.

He glanced instinctively toward the doorway, then thought of the hidden guards lurking in the shadows around him...

Xuanyuan Jing: ...

That's it.

What does a useless prince who has been bedridden for two years need to maintain his image at this point? He's just picked up some verbal tics from his daughter.

Anyway, he only acts like this in front of Xiao Lanxing.

It's ok!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Out of respect for Xiao Lanxing and for Dr. Fang, Chen Li personally went to the door of Dr. Fang's hospital and began knocking very seriously.

The palace was quiet at this moment. In the darkness of the night, the knocking sounded particularly crisp, but also... quite abrupt.

A moment later, an old man wearing an overcoat squinted as he opened the door, holding up a lantern to examine the visitor. "It's you. At this hour, has something happened to the Prince?"

His tone was unhurried, and he sounded a little sleepy.

Chen Li smiled at him, bowed slightly, and said politely, "That's good. It's good that you haven't gone to sleep yet. The prince is fine. It was the young lady who injured her head. The prince asked me to check if you were asleep. If you are not asleep, please go and take a look at the young lady."

Dr. Fang looked at him silently, while Chen Li's smile remained as gentle as ever.

Dr. Fang: "Are you serious?"

Chen Li: "Hmm?"

Dr. Fang: "Never mind, let's go."

This kid definitely did it on purpose.

What do you mean he's not asleep yet?

He was clearly asleep when the knocking woke him up!

You brat, you better not get sick, or you'll be in big trouble.

Chen Li smiled, seemingly oblivious to the old doctor's displeasure, and asked gently, "It's chilly at night, would you like to put on another layer of clothing?"

Dr. Fang paused slightly as he took a step forward, then turned and walked back.

"Wait."

Chen Li smiled.

However, neither Chen Li nor Doctor Fang expected that Xiao Lanxing's delicate skin would turn red so easily after bumping her head, which looked quite frightening.

But Xiao Lanxing's recovery ability is far beyond that of ordinary people.

When the two hurried to the main courtyard, they saw the little baby sleeping soundly in Xuan Yuanjing's arms, his face completely smooth and without a single scratch.

Chen Li: "..."

Dr. Fang: "..."

Xuanyuan Jing noticed the two of them and made a shushing gesture.

Dr. Fang tilted his head slightly, his eyes piercing Chen Li with sharp, piercing gaze.

Chen Li gave an awkward laugh and gestured with his eyes, "Then, shall I take you back to rest?"

Doctor Fang gave a silent snort, cupped his hands in greeting to Xuan Yuanjing, and after seeing him nod, glared at Chen Li before turning and leaving.

That night passed just like that. The next day, Dr. Fang still made a trip and gave the little girl a thorough examination. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, he heard that the little girl had a nightmare.

Dr. Fang stroked his chin: "Perhaps it was something it came into contact with during the day and startled it."

Xiao Lanxing tilted her head, holding a tangerine in her hand, her big, watery eyes watching Chen Li peel a tangerine for her to eat, seemingly unaware of the conversation between Xuan Yuanjing and Doctor Fang.

Upon hearing Doctor Fang's explanation, Xuan Yuanjing nodded slightly.

Dr. Fang added, "However, since I didn't wake up in the middle of the night, it probably wasn't anything serious."

Doctor Fang: "If Your Highness is still worried, take some personal jade pendants or handkerchiefs and place them by the young lady's pillow, then see how effective it is."

Xuanyuan Jing: "I understand."
