Lin Weiming kicked the door open from the outside.

He stood with one hand on his hip, pointing a finger at Qi Sichen and cursing, "Well, you bastard! Just by looking at you, I knew you were no good. You think you can just take my daughter because your family has some money? Don't even dream about it!"

"That's not what I meant, I..." Qi Sichen began to explain, but before he could finish, Lin Weiming interrupted him.

"Bullshit! If that's not what you mean, why would you want to take my daughter away? You piece of trash, you've got a big mouth, you've blown up the whole world. Who do you think you are? A county princess or a noble lady? Do you think you're the emperor?" Lin Weiming cursed as he pulled Lin Wanyue into his arms, giving her a murderous glare.

Qi Sichen had never been properly insulted in his life, and his face immediately fell, easily revealing his aloof and unapproachable demeanor.

"What's wrong?" Lin Weiming felt he was in the right and wasn't afraid of him at all: "Did I say something wrong?! My daughter is already kind-hearted for treating your son's illness. You still want to kidnap my daughter? Let me tell you, don't even dream about it."

Lin Wanyue immediately covered Lin Weiming's mouth.

"Father," she whispered in Lin Weiming's ear, "they are our big spenders, we can't afford to offend them."

Lin Weiming was disdainful, but his daughter covered his mouth, so he only hummed a couple of times.

No matter how good gold or silver is, can it compare to his daughter?

Liu Junlan and Xue Fu were also awake and heard the commotion.

Liu Junlan then walked over, took Lin Wanyue from Lin Weiming's hands, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Several children are asleep so late at night, why are you talking so loudly?"

"Mother, you have no idea how shameless those two are! Taking advantage of how cute our Wanwan is, they actually said they wanted to take her in as their goddaughter and bring her to the capital. Can we trust people who make such big promises? What if they really kidnap Wanwan?" Lin Weiming hurriedly complained to Liu Junlan.

Qi Sichen explained with a cold face, "I didn't mean to lie. I really just want to take Wanwan in as my goddaughter. And I won't treat her badly. I will make sure she lives a much better life than most women in the world."

"Pah! My daughter is so cute, there are plenty of people who like her, why should I ask you to be her godfather? I, her biological father, am still alive. If you want to raise a daughter, go have one yourself! Or are you unable to have one?" Lin Weiming glanced at Qi Sichen.

"..." Qi Sichen gripped the long sword in his hand tightly and gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for Wanwan's sake, he would have wanted to teach this outspoken man a lesson.

"Alright, alright! Don't get so agitated. Our Wanwan is adorable and talented, so it's normal for people to like her." Liu Junlan first calmed Lin Weiming down before politely saying to Qi Sichen, "However, no matter how much you like my child, she is still my child. I can't just let you take her away. And there's no need to mention godfather or anything like that again."

"No," Qi Sichen said in a deep voice.

Liu Junlan frowned as well. Just as he was about to reason with this man, he saw him take out a piece of white jade dragon disc from his pouch.

“Old man, I am not an unreasonable person. It’s just that this matter is of great importance. Even if you are unwilling, I have no choice but to comply.” Qi Sichen glanced at Qi Yuan, who was already dressed, and said, “This child is my nephew, and also His Majesty. He is ill, and I have consulted many famous doctors, but none of them could find a cure. Until I met Wanwan, only he can cure His Majesty’s illness.”

"Whether you like it or not, I must take Wanwan to the capital to treat Yuan'er's illness. This is not just about saving a life, but also about serving the country and its people!"

Qi Sichen's words completely stunned everyone present, both human and ghost.

"You...you...you mean he...he's the Emperor? His Majesty the Emperor?" Lin Weiming pointed at Qi Yuan, his voice trembling, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Yes." Qi Yuan smiled innocently at him.

Qi Sichen nodded: "That's precisely why this matter is so important, and that's why I had to make this decision. But don't worry, whether you can cure my Yuan'er's illness or not, I will absolutely not mistreat her."

"I said I would take her in as my goddaughter before, just to give her some protection. If you're unwilling, just pretend I didn't say it. But she has to go to the capital."

The four Lin brothers hadn't fallen asleep at all; they had already slipped in as soon as Liu Junlan opened the door.

Hearing these words, all four of them were completely shocked.

Wow!

"The Emperor is such a little kid? He's even younger than me, and so short!" Lin Zihan, who is only six years old, said in utter shock.

“That’s right!” Lin Ziqiu nodded.

They are both well-nourished and are considered tall among children of similar age.

Unfortunately, Qi Yuan was always thin and frail, and he took more medicine than food every day, even though he looked smaller than them.

"..." Qi Yuan didn't know that these two were even younger than him, but when he heard them call him a little kid, he could only keep his mouth shut.

"Well, even if that's the case, it won't work! She's my daughter after all. I can't just take her to the capital without asking for her opinion, can I? That place is full of big shots and all sorts of people. My daughter is so young and cute. If she gets bullied, I can't fight off so many people."

Lin Weiming knew he probably couldn't make the decision, but he had just been incredibly brave and assertive, and now he felt a little embarrassed. He remained stubborn and refused to let Qi Sichen take his daughter away, no matter what his identity was; he couldn't let him take his daughter from him.

Qi Sichen glanced at Lin Weiming.

He had previously thought this man was very difficult to deal with, so he wondered if he should just bribe Lin Wanyue directly.

"Which child were you when the late emperor was born?" a heavy voice asked.

Lin Weiming looked outside and discovered that the person who had come was actually his father, Lin Xiangwu.

"Dad, why did you come here?" Lin Weiming was a little worried about his father's loyalty, who might ask him to send Lin Wanyue up.

After all, you have to know that his father was a man who would give his life for the late emperor, devoting himself to the royal family until his dying breath.

Actually, his father's thoughts reflect those of most people in this era, which is not surprising.

“I am the ninth child in my family. My elder brother passed away five years ago. The current emperor… is this child.” Qi Sichen called Qi Yuan to stand in front.

Qi Yuan smiled generously at the ghost in front of him.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Xiangwu knelt down and solemnly bowed to him.
