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

The two events—a baby appearing on the prince's bed and the prince waking up—caused an uproar in the main courtyard of the prince's mansion.

Chen Li rushed over as soon as he received the news. The main room was already brightly lit, but the light inside the bed curtains was dim due to the heavy curtains.

The reason the curtain wasn't drawn back directly wasn't because Xuan Yuanjing requested it, but because Xiao Lanxing cried out in surprise when someone lit a lamp to draw back the curtain, saying it was too bright.

Her words were met with quick reactions from the others in the room. Realizing that Xuan Yuanjing would probably find it offensive, they immediately put it down.

It wasn't that the guards didn't want to take out this suddenly appearing baby, but Xiao Lanxing clung tightly to Xuan Yuanjing's head, and with Xuan Yuanjing's gaze falling on her amidst the chaos, they finally gave up.

Chen Li: "Your Highness..."

He stopped in front of the bed curtains, hesitated for a moment, and called out softly, waiting for a response from the person behind the curtains, but heard no sound.

Chen Li: "Your Highness, are you awake?"

As he said this, Chen Li turned to the guard beside him and asked, "How much longer until Doctor Fang arrives?"

The guard, the one who had been standing by the window, was now kneeling to one side with his head bowed, clearly in a gesture of apology. Upon hearing this, he said, "This subordinate does not know, but it should be soon."

At the same time, a childish voice came from behind the bed curtains: "Daddy said, come in."

The little voice was quite cute. After speaking, it paused for a moment, then continued, "Daddy can't speak, does he want some water?"

Chen Li paused for a moment and looked at the Dark Guard Armor.

The guard A lowered his head, seemingly aware that Chen Li was watching him, and explained, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate only realized that this young lady was on the bed when we heard the sound. Before I could bring her out, His Highness woke up."

Chen Li: "...How did you get in?"

Guard A: "...This subordinate does not know."

He really doesn't know.

Chen Li was speechless.

But now is not the time to pursue this matter. Compared to the baby, Xuan Yuanjing's awakening is clearly more important.

But no one knew that at that moment, Xuan Yuanjing, as the person involved, only felt that it was too noisy.

The guard A kept racking his brains trying to figure out where he had missed a spot, allowing a little baby to sneak into the prince's bed. He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was screaming.

Chen Li, however, had more on his mind. One moment he was thinking, "It's so good that the prince has finally woken up," and the next he was thinking, "How could that child have gotten into the prince's bed on his own? Is there a traitor in the prince's mansion?"

Then, Chen Li thought again, "We need to control the news that the prince has woken up."

The next second it went like this: "Could it be that the child is truly the prince's bloodline, and the prince sensed the bloodline and that's why he woke up?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

If he weren't temporarily unable to speak, Xuan Yuanjing really wanted to say, "Chen Li, you're so noisy."

At the same time, Xuan Yuanjing also had many doubts in his mind.

First, how long had he been unconscious, what was the situation outside, and what was the situation inside the Prince's mansion and the military camp?

Secondly, who is this baby next to me who keeps calling me "Daddy" and why does he seem so close to me?

Thirdly, Chen Li... How come he's become such a chatterbox after not seeing him for several years?

As for other scattered ideas, they were scattered before they could take shape.

Although he had been asleep for two years, Xuan Yuanjing felt exhausted the first thing he felt upon waking up.

In fact, if it weren't for the two guards shouting in the room, Xuan Yuanjing wouldn't have opened his eyes at this moment and might have slept a little longer before waking up.

But now that he's awake, Xuanyuan Jing decided to get a basic understanding of the situation first.

And this baby...

Chen Li carefully lifted the bed curtains and walked in, kneeling on one knee beside the foot of the bed: "Your Highness, your subordinate Chen Li greets Your Highness."

He subconsciously lowered his head, but after a while, as if he had thought of something, he looked up at Xuan Yuanjing and met his eyes, which were still relatively clear. Only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Just as Chen Li was about to bow his head again, Xuan Yuanjing raised his hand with some effort. Although he didn't say anything, Chen Li understood what he meant.

Chen Li: "Yes."

Then, Chen Li realized Xuan Yuanjing's current situation. After apologizing, he went out and brought in warm water. He personally served Xuan Yuanjing two cups of water before retreating back to the footstool.

At the same time, Chen Li thought to himself, "That's great. The prince looks clear-headed, so he must have really woken up. As long as he rests well, he should recover quickly."

During this time, Xuanyuan Jing took in his every move in the dim light and finally realized that something was wrong.

Chen Li did not speak.

But he still heard Chen Li's voice.

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing frowned slightly.

Chen Li quickly asked, "Is Your Highness feeling unwell? Doctor Fang should be arriving soon, Your Highness..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanjing waved his hand slightly.

Then, Xuanyuan Jing opened his mouth slightly, and it seemed that the two cups of warm water had some effect, and this time he finally made a sound.

The sound was very soft; you might miss it if you didn't listen carefully.

Xuanyuan Jing: "How is the Prince's residence...?"

Chen Li understood that this was an inquiry about the situation at the Prince's residence. He hesitated for a moment, wanting to say, "Your Highness has just woken up, so why don't you rest well before dealing with other matters?" But he swallowed the words back.

Chen Li thought to himself, "The prince has been in a coma for two years. He must be very worried about the current situation. If he doesn't explain things clearly, he probably won't be able to rest in peace."

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

Xuan Yuanjing blinked slowly, confirming that he hadn't misread anything. Chen Li hadn't spoken, but he had heard Chen Li's voice.

Either Chen Li suddenly learned ventriloquism, but... even if Chen Li can ventriloquism, there's no need for him to show it off in front of him right now.

Or perhaps, during his coma, he awakened to something extraordinary...

At this moment, another childish voice rang out: "Daddy, so weak."

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

Wait a minute, who are you calling weak?

Xuanyuan Jing slowly turned his head and looked at the little baby who was always leaning against him, his eyes filled with suspicion.

After staring at him for a moment, the little baby tilted his head, as if he understood something, and gave a big smile: "Daddy."

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

Having just discovered that he could seemingly hear other people's thoughts, Xuan Yuanjing was now somewhat unsure whether what he had just heard was the baby speaking or what the baby was thinking.

Although Chen Li didn't say it, Xuan Yuanjing had already gleaned some of the information he wanted to know from his thoughts.

For example, the fact that he was in a coma for two years.

For example, this little baby might be related to his bloodline.

Xuanyuan Jing: That's outrageous.

How could a virgin in his late twenties possibly have a child?
