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

The life of a girl named Su Minglan was ultimately reduced to a thin piece of paper and delivered to Xuan Yuanjing.

At that time, Chen Li had already left the study, and Xuan Yuanjing sat quietly in a chair, silently looking at the contents of the paper.

His birth mother died in childbirth, and he was raised by servants. When he was seven years old, he was bullied by another half-sister and was noticed by Zhou Fu, who then took him in.

It is said that she was very good-looking, but Su Minglan rarely appeared in public until her death, so it is hard to confirm whether this is true or not.

However, Xuanyuan Jing thought that if she really was Xingxing's original mother, then she was indeed quite good.

Even through a thin sheet of paper, Xuan Yuanjing couldn't discern the girl's true personality or whether she harbored a hidden depth beneath her gentle exterior.

In the end, he simply placed the paper quietly into the brazier beside him, watching the flames engulf that short life, burning it to ashes.

——————————————————————————————

Xiao Lanxing found that she suddenly had a lot more things to do.

After Xiangxiang successfully made it once, Xiaolanxing calculated the time and felt that the box could last her father for a month, so she could wait for more than half a month before preparing to make a new one.

However, the training aids for the two young apprentices need to be put on the agenda.

There's no need to worry about medicinal herbs; the manor has plenty. Even if you remove some of the problematic ones, there are still plenty of safe herbs you can use freely.

As for the problematic ones, after taking a stroll through the warehouse where medicinal herbs were stored, Xiao Lanxing decided that they weren't garbage either, as they could be used to make poison!

System: [Making drugs is not very safe, it's best if the host doesn't get involved.]

Even the system doesn't know what's going on with the current host's memories. Anyway, the little girl looks at you with an innocent and naive expression, completely clueless, in the places it thinks she should understand.

But the things the system thought she might have forgotten, the little girl could recall with ease…

To be more precise, it seems that... for most technical things, Xiao Lanxing can recall them as soon as she touches on the relevant information, and then she will act without any doubt about her memory.

For example, hidden weapons, perfumes, and... martial arts.

Well, how can you say that martial arts training isn't a technical skill?

Regarding memories in this regard, the system, based on its understanding of the host, can compile a long list.

Xiao Lanxing currently unlocks memory fragments whenever she needs something, and then applies them to real-world situations.

As for the hardships he endured while learning these things, he clearly doesn't remember them at all.

So in relatively safe places, the system didn't say anything, but as soon as it saw that Xiao Lanxing wanted to touch the poison, the system immediately spoke up.

Xiao Lanxing: [But it's a waste to leave these unused.]

System: [These herbs won't be wasted. The fact that they're all stored here means someone knows they're problematic.]

System: [They will find a suitable place for these medicinal herbs.]

For example, based on the information the system has collected in the past two days, Xuan Yuanjing is already preparing to have his guards find time to replace some of the medicinal herbs with those from Su Jianming's family.

This can be seen as a way of repaying Su Mingxuan for her "care" for the Jingwang Mansion over the past two years.

To the outside world, it was said to be taking care of him, but in reality, Su Mingxuan was the one who most wanted Xuanyuan Jing to never wake up.

He had quite a few tricks up his sleeve. If it hadn't been Chen Li guarding the Prince's mansion, and it had been someone else, Xuan Yuanjing might not have woken up at all.

Xiao Lanxing: [Daddy has made some plans?]

System: [Yes.]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright then."

Then she should think about how to quickly improve Pei Qingzhu's physical fitness in a short period of time, and how to improve Chen Li's as well!

So, for the next few days, Pei Qingzhu was dragged to training with Xiao Lanxing in the mornings, along with Chen Li.

In the morning, Pei Qingzhu went to train the guards of the Prince's Palace, while Chen Li inspected candidates for deputy chief steward.

In the afternoon, Pei Qingzhu continued to train with Xiao Lanxing, sweating profusely in the dead of winter. After the training, Xiao Lanxing arranged for her to take a medicinal bath. It was extremely painful, but after soaking, she felt completely relaxed, which was nothing short of a miracle.

As for Chen Li, he did some light work in the afternoon, watching Pei Qingzhu being scolded like a big yellow dog wagging its tail happily, and then he received a full course of acupuncture and medicine from Doctor Fang.

A few days later, Xiao Lanxing was taken by Xuan Yuanjing to go to the hot springs outside the capital, while Chen Li stayed behind to guard the house.

Just when Chen Li thought he could relax for a few days, Xiao Lanxing said to him in a serious tone as he saw the father and daughter off, "Lili, good luck with your morning exercise."

This means that Chen Li has to train on his own and can't slack off.

Chen Li: "...Yes."

Chen Li's training plan was adjusted by Xiao Lanxing. At first, he was exhausted, and then his physical weakness was discovered. The direct consequence was that most of his work was taken away, which made Chen Li feel uncomfortable but unable to refuse.

Later, Chen Li's training intensity was only one-third of Pei Qingzhu's, while the guards of the Prince's Mansion now had half of Pei Qingzhu's daily training volume, meaning that Chen Li's training intensity was not as high as that of the guards.

Pei Qingzhu is the top trainer in the Prince's Mansion; no one can match his intensity.

However, Pei Qingzhu thought it was a good idea. He was someone who admired strength and pursued power himself. If it could make him stronger, he would not refuse.

It was the medicinal bath prepared by the young princess. Every time she soaked in it, her whole body ached. The first time she went in, Pei Qingzhu thought she had been poisoned.

Pei Qingzhu smiled at Chen Li: "If anything happens, just send someone to call me anytime, and I'll get back as quickly as possible."

Chen Li glanced at him and said, "You just need to protect the prince."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing patted Xuan Yuanjing beside her, and then earnestly said to Chen Li, "I will protect Father."

"...Yes, I'll also leave it to you, Miss." Chen Li didn't deny the statement, but instead smiled gently and earnestly asked her for a favor.

This gesture clearly pleased the little girl, and her smile immediately brightened.

After the group's carriage disappeared from sight, Chen Li turned around and said, "Close the door."

Since the master of the mansion was not home, the gate naturally did not need to be opened; it was simply closed to visitors.

Xuanyuan received news of Xuanyuan Jing leading a group of people out of the city right after the court session. In front of the officials who had not yet completely left, he simply smiled and said, "He is not in good health. It has indeed been a bit cold in the capital recently. It would be good for him to stay at a hot spring resort in the suburbs for a while."

Once they were in a secluded spot, Xuanyuan Lin's smile vanished, and he asked expressionlessly, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this before?"

Today, Wang Tai happened to be with him. When he sensed that something was wrong, he hunched over and lowered his head. Even in the cold wind, he couldn't stop the sweat from pouring out of his forehead.

Wang Tai dared not utter a sound, and Xuan Yuanlin was not asking him either.

"The subordinates neglected their duties."

Xuan Yuanlin kicked the person kneeling in front of him without expression, "Useless."
