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

The thing is actually very simple.

Some people want someone else dead, and if that person dies, it will benefit Xuan Yuanlin. So even though Xuan Yuanlin knows the situation, he turns a blind eye and lets the other party be slandered.

Although Pei Qingzhu was in Zhangzhou, she kept a close eye on the news from the capital. After receiving the news, she guessed that this matter might have been directly instructed by Xuanyuan Lin, but she still took a gamble that the other party would not dare to go too far openly and rushed back to save people.

However, to save face, Xuan Yuanlin did not openly kill them. But there were others who wanted Pei Qingzhu dead. After recognizing Pei Qingzhu, they ambushed her on the way and succeeded.

So when Xuanyuan Jing finally woke up, all he received was bad news.

Pei Qingzhu died saving someone, while the other party was also feared and hated by those in power for trying to keep Xuan Yuanjing's secret, ruining his reputation and dying unjustly.

And there are many cases like this.

When he woke up from the darkness, he was bombarded with such news. Even though Chen Li tried his best to give Xuan Yuanjing some space to recuperate, it was to no avail.

Because by then, Xuan Yuanlin had already done a lot. At first, he restrained himself, but later, as if he was really sure that Xuan Yuanjing would not wake up, he became more and more outrageous.

Until he woke up.

Then, not long after, the Great Yan Dynasty fell into chaos.

Xuanyuan Jing didn't even have time to rest. Dragging his ailing body, as if he had accepted the malice of the whole world, he quickly transformed from a revered war god and great hero into a villain who wanted to drag the entire country down with him.

At that time, Xuanyuan Jing did not have the ability to read minds, so he could not even fully trust Chen Li.

But none of that will happen now.

Although the host's juvenile form may seem unable to do much, the two major things she has accomplished so far are enough to change the fate of Xuan Yuanjing and many others.

One was to successfully awaken Xuanyuan Jing before things got worse.

One of the things that happened was that mind-reading ability was accidentally implanted into his body.

Well, it would be even better if Xuan Yuanjing's corruption level could be reduced to a safe value.

At this moment, after hearing the system's words, Xiao Lanxing felt nothing for people she had never met before, but had some goodwill towards Pei Qingzhu, whom she had already met. Her attitude was quite clear.

Leaving aside the other person for now, Pei Qingzhu can be included in the scope of those who need protection.

As for how the young girl should protect the other person...

Xiao Lanxing: "It's okay, Daddy, I'm here, I'll protect him!"

Xuanyuan Jing eventually turned his head away, trying his best not to show too bad a look in front of the girl. After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart for the time being.

Then, he turned back, his face already beaming with a smile: "Yes, I understand. But your Uncle Pei doesn't need your protection. He's already very capable on his own. Besides, Daddy can protect him too."

If that last sentence hadn't been added, things would have been fine, but with it, Xiao Lanxing's somewhat bewildered expression turned into one of worry.

But she was an obedient and sensible little girl. She might think some things to herself, but her words would still be perfectly polite: "Oh..."

In her heart she thought, "What is Father saying? Father is not well and needs to rest. He is so weak, how can he protect others? I will protect Father and Uncle Pei at the same time."

"I've already planned it all out. After I finish making Xiangxiang, I'll train with Uncle Pei. It's like teaching someone how to fish rather than just offering them fish, right, Tongtong!"

System: [While I understand you mean it's better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish, well... it's a bit difficult for a child to pronounce that sentence correctly.]

The story has long since deviated from the original plot. It's just that the person who killed Pei Qingzhu is still alive, so there's no need to be too nervous.

System: [Being more vigilant is a good thing.]

Xiao Lanxing nodded twice in her mind: "I understand!"

System: Ah, there's more... Never mind, let him look it up himself.

If you reveal a name and the other party only guards against that one person, the system thinks it's better not to reveal it at all.

Moreover, judging from Xuan Yuanjing's current state, even if he finds out from Xiao Lanxing who killed Pei Qingzhu, he will still choose to investigate thoroughly on his own.

understand.

Just then, Xiao Lanxing looked at her handsome father, whom she liked no matter how she looked at him, and couldn't help but yawn a little.

"Daddy is so handsome."

The idea flashed through my mind, and then it became quite practical...

The little girl muttered to herself, "Ugh, I'm so sleepy. Can Daddy talk to me again tomorrow? I want to take a nice bath and go to sleep."

Xuanyuan Jing smiled and said, "It's getting late, Xingxing should wash up and go to bed first."

He paused, looked at the still steaming basin of water, and said, "It's also my fault for keeping you talking at this hour. Does Xingxing need me to wash your face?"

The little girl shook her head: "I can do it myself, Daddy."

Although she is a bit lazy and often too lazy to say more than a word, she still chooses to do certain things herself.

For example, washing your face.

At first, Nuandong wanted to help her, but after the girl cooperated a few times, she felt that it was more comfortable for her to do this herself.

For some reason, when her face was covered by others, she always had a feeling similar to "there are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me".

Although it wasn't very obvious, I did feel a bit uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Jing: "Alright, come here, let Daddy wring out a towel for you."

"sure."

With Xuan Yuanjing's help, the little girl quickly washed up. Holding her pajamas, she looked up at Xuan Yuanjing and said, "Daddy, you can call Nuandong in now."

Then, she couldn't help but yawn again, her eyes glistening with tears: "Isn't Uncle Pei still waiting for Daddy? Daddy, go play with Uncle Pei."

"But don't stay up too late, Daddy needs to rest too."

At this point, the little girl became increasingly sleepy, and had already forgotten about Xiangxiang, so naturally she didn't remember to remind Xuanyuan Jing.

However, Xuanyuan Jing hadn't forgotten, and looked at the little girl with gentle eyes, "Alright, I'll have Nuandong come in and help you change your clothes. Daddy will be leaving now?"

The little girl lowered her head at some point, and nodded upon hearing this. It was hard to tell whether she nodded because she was sleepy or because she nodded on her own. She looked incredibly cute.

Xuan Yuanjing was so charmed by the little girl's appearance that he felt a little itchy. After thinking for a moment, he squatted down and gently pinched her chubby little face.

Xiao Lanxing opened her half-closed eyes again, looking at him with watery eyes: "Daddy?"

Xuanyuan Jing smiled: "It's nothing, sweet dreams."

Little Lanxing, half asleep, gave a sweet smile: "Mmm, sweet dreams."
