"Fourth Brother!" Lan Yueyuan's translucent body suddenly flashed in front of Ulysses, looking at him pleadingly.

Lan Sinian paused and looked at his elder brother who had passed away many years ago across the roaring tide.

This was his older brother, the one who had held him and played with him when he was a child. Because of the nearly twenty-year age difference between them, the naturally gentle Lan Yueyuan treated this younger brother, who was almost like a son, very well, doting on him. When Lance was little, he especially loved to follow him around.

Many years passed in a flash. Before him, Lan Yueyuan's translucent face revealed a look of sorrow, as if he were staring at him from across thirty years. He whispered to him, "Xiao Nian, please let him go? You can lock him up or do whatever you want. But since he hasn't caused you much harm, can you please, for the sake of... Big Brother, not kill him?"

Lan Sinian stared at his eldest brother, his expression silent and unfathomable. Lan Yueyuan felt both sad and relieved. Of the four brothers, each one had fallen to their current fate, there was finally one left standing to shoulder the weight of the entire empire. If his father knew, this would probably be his only comfort.

Qin Changqing, still held in Lan Sinian's arms, didn't say a word at this juncture, simply resting his head gently on Lan Sinian's shoulder. He absolutely loathed Ulysses; this man was the culprit who had plagued their family for ten years. If it weren't for fate, he, Lan Sinian, and Qin Xu might have parted ways. What he couldn't tolerate most was that Ulysses had the audacity to set his sights on Xiaoxu!

No matter what, the special features of Xiaoxu's genes must not be leaked out easily!

Qin Changqing half-lowered his eyelashes to block the cold light in his eyes. Ulysses must not be kept!

At the same time, Lan Sinian spoke in a cold voice, "Brother, I'm so glad to see you again. But I'm sorry, I don't plan to keep this person. I will bury him with you, and he will be with you forever."

…

Coming out of the eldest prince's former residence, the sky outside was clear and the sky of the Imperial Star was a beautiful blue. The frantic junk and defective products outside the former residence, like robots without energy, all stopped moving in an instant, standing there in a daze.

The special guards who had been fighting with them finally got a chance to catch their breath. They brought out several people who had been torn beyond recognition from the mountains and seas of monsters. They were the princes of the three clans of the Blood Gang who were thrown in by Lan Sinian, as well as Lan Lezhang.

Lan Sinian glanced at the four men indifferently. Seeing that each of them was covered in blood, he coldly ordered, "Take them back and make them confess everything they have done over the years."

"yes."

After giving these instructions, Lan Sinian was too lazy to focus on them anymore. He lowered his head and said worriedly, "Darling, are you still feeling unwell? Did the little guy bother you again?"

Qin Changqing glanced at him, then smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, "It doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore, and this is your reward for waking up in time." After saying that, he winked at him with his right eye.

Her Majesty the Queen would not easily give people electric shocks with her eyes, but this time it was terrible, it made His Majesty the Emperor's blood rush to his middle part, and made his whole body numb. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to howl at the moon right then and there, and then, without caring about anything else, make love with his Queen right there!

But, no.

Not to mention that the place they are in now is too boring, even if it is, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his head to look at his dear belly, and sighed deeply in his heart, sighing with infinite melancholy, why hasn't the little bastard come out yet!

But speaking of that little bastard, he immediately thought of his beloved son at home. Thinking about how he had disappeared so suddenly, and not knowing what his dear had told his son, he couldn't care less about his excitement. He felt uneasy again. My dear son, would he hate him for this?!

Qin Changqing saw his expression changing from gloomy to bright and gloomy, and patted his face in confusion and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lan Sinian hissed, frowned his handsome features and revealed his inner worries to him, he looked so worried.

Qin Changqing was amused by his pitiful smile. He patted his face again and said with a smile, "You're worried now that the opportunity has gone cold. Don't worry, I told my son that you had an emergency business trip. He is very understanding and has been training the things you gave him very seriously every day. He said he would wait for you to come back to review them. But remember to bring him a gift when you go back, so that he won't find out that we lied to him."

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. His beloved son was indeed endearing! He nodded seriously and said, "A gift, huh? I understand."

Qin Changqing paused, and suddenly remembered the speed at which this man gave his property to his son... Shouldn't he have said more?

…

Soon after returning to the palace, Lan Sinian revealed to the entire empire all the filthy deeds the three Blood Clans had committed over the years. They had secretly supported Lan Lezhang in conducting illegal human experiments, creating a large number of monsters. To this end, they had experimented on numerous minor races—such as the Flower Vine Clan, who had been affiliated with the Blood Rose and later exterminated. To obtain more test subjects, they had brutally invaded Earth, manipulated psychics to slaughter their own people, and so on... Any one of these was enough to kill them a thousand times over.

After this bombshell was dropped, the entire empire was in an uproar. The crimes committed by the three Blood Clan clans and Blue Music Chapter were numerous and their cold-bloodedness was appalling. They all demanded that the emperor severely punish these demons, whose hands were stained with the blood of innocent people! Furthermore, based on the evidence presented in the news reports, the Third Prince was manipulated into committing such evil deeds. Not only was he subsequently executed by the old emperor himself, but he also bore the infamy for so many years. It was truly pitiful to think about it, and some even petitioned the emperor to clear his name!

Yes, in order to put an end to this matter completely, Lan Sinian did not cover up Lan Lezhang's name, but let everyone know the true face of the incident that year, rather than the story that had been artificially embellished.

The three Blood Party clans had originally used public opinion to put pressure on the royal family because their prince was detained by the royal family. However, after this news spread all over the Internet, the three Blood Party clans immediately became the target of public criticism. Not only did the civilians of other clans hate them, but even the civilians of these three clans asked the emperor to conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter and to bring all the guilty people to justice!

The day after the news broke, Lan Sinian stood in front of the camera and assured the public that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and would never let any guilty person go!

So after that, the three clans of the Blood Party, which had always been at odds with the White Faction, were reshuffled by Lan Sinian. Many great nobles in the three clans fell from power, and Lan Sinian finally personally selected a prince for them.

It was several months later when everything was finally settled.

The baby in Qin Changqing's belly is nearly nine months old, and the little one is about to be born. However, the physical burden has made him quite lazy recently. He can't help feeling sleepy while sitting in the big garden, and most of the time, he will fall asleep until sunset.

His Majesty the Emperor has been particularly neurotic recently. He often gets distracted during meetings with ministers, causing the ministers to come to the palace several times and ask the Queen openly and secretly what is bothering His Majesty recently and whether someone has done something to offend him.

Qin Changqing guessed why Lan Sinian was anxious, and he felt a bit amused and helpless. He could only repeatedly reassure the ministers not to worry too much, saying that the emperor had nothing to worry about recently. Lan Sinian only later learned that these people had come to disturb the queen's rest. He had a fierce outburst at the conference table, and only then did he stop more people from coming to the palace to talk to the queen.

Actually, Lan Sinian didn't mean it. He was just, as a father, although he already had a son named Qin Xu who was as tall as his chest, but this was his first time facing the birth of a child, and he was anxious!

He was worried that the child would not come out quickly, putting such a heavy burden on Qinqin's body. He was also worried that the birth of the child would cause too much harm to Qinqin's body, or that there would be any danger. It was said that his mother's health became worse and worse after giving birth to him, and she died within a few years. If Changqing also encountered such a thing, just thinking about it would make Lan Sinian collapse!

He now recalled the beautiful childhood he and Changqing had spent on Earth, their childhood sweethearts. He also thought that even a hundred thousand light years couldn't sever his bond with his dearest. He had to live happily with her for several lifetimes! However, when he thought about the danger the birth of this cub would bring to her, His Majesty the Emperor felt like banging his head against the wall. This was too damn cruel!

Of course, besides the two points above, he was also a little nervous. He'd heard that cubs were very soft when they were born. With his strong arms, would he be able to hold one? If it was a girl, she'd definitely be even more delicate and fragile. Would it be difficult to raise her? Would the child resent him for not being able to take care of her and refuse to hold her?

Little Prince Qin Xu, who was studying and handling affairs at the desk next to him, looked up and saw his father with a silly smile on his face, and then pulling his hair with a ferocious look on his face. He couldn't help but show a worried expression on his little face.

So he asked tentatively, "Dad, do you have something bothering you? You can tell me about it." In the past few months, he had been taken into the study by Dad Smurf, and learned from him how to handle some small things. He had also become more stable.

Lan Sinian just remembered that his eldest son was right next to him. He sat up straight in an instant, coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "Nothing, it's just, it's just that I don't know when your sister will be born. I, I'm a little nervous." Then he gave his eldest son a pitiful look. He really was nervous! As a shameless emperor, he hadn't been this nervous in years! The key was that he didn't dare to show this nervousness in front of his relatives, so he could comfort himself.

Qin Xu started to worry. He had only just collected two sets of skirts for his sister, and there were still twenty-two sets left. How long would it take to collect them all? Would his sister be grown up by the time he collected them all?

Just when the father and son were feeling gloomy in the study, there was a knock on the study door suddenly, and then Qin Changqing pushed the door open and walked in.

Lan Sinian took a look and saw that Qin Changqing was holding a large tray. He was shocked and quickly flashed in front of him. He took the tray away with one hand and held Qin Changqing's waist with the other. He said nervously, "Why do you have to carry it yourself? What if you have a miscarriage? Where's the maid? Where's Qi Feng?"

Qin Changqing: "..."

He rolled his eyes at Lan Sinian, raised his chin towards the two of them, and said, "Try these freshly made snacks."

His Majesty the Emperor had no desire to eat snacks right now. His face was filled with worry, and his heart was filled with anxiety, so he couldn't help but nag behind him, "...Dear, please don't be displeased with what I say. You said you are carrying so much soup, and it's so hot. What if the baby suddenly wants to come out, and you lose your balance and spill the soup on yourself? Are you trying to make me die of worry?!"

Qin Changqing was so dizzy from his nagging that he turned around and glared at him fiercely, saying depressedly, "Why don't you expect me to do something good?! Do you want to eat it or not? If not, I'll feed it to the pigs!"

"There are pigs raised in the palace? No, that's not what I meant to say." His Majesty the Emperor has been too worried lately, and his IQ has unknowingly dropped to negative. He looked at Qin Changqing disapprovingly and continued his muttering, "How can I not wish you the best? I am worried about you. Many accidents are caused by carelessness. We are in a special period now, and we must eliminate any possible dangers and hidden dangers..."

"Lan, Si, Nian!"

"Here!" The person whose name was called responded subconsciously.

"Shut up!" Qin Changqing gritted his teeth. His head was buzzing because of this person's nagging. He didn't know if the baby in his belly was also affected, but he began to feel a dull pain.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lan Sinian didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly helped him to sit down and put the tray aside.

Qin Changqing got angry when he saw him put the tray aside, "Are you going to eat it or not?!"

"Eat! I'll eat!" Lan Sinian, seeing that he was truly furious, felt a little nervous. He didn't dare say anything more. He took the tray and shared the food with his son, feeding Changqing two more. Changqing's face seemed a little too pale. Should he ask the kitchen to make him some blood-tonifying food? His Majesty the Emperor thought anxiously.

After Qin Changqing sat down, he felt his stomach hurt more and more. Soon the pain was so severe that he couldn't eat anything. He clenched his teeth tightly and slapped away the spoon that Lan Sinian extended to him.

Lan Sinian was stunned for a moment, and was about to remind him again to be careful not to burn himself, but when he looked up, he saw Chang Qing's face covered in sweat, and he was so scared that he dropped the spoon in his hand!

"...He, he's coming out, call a doctor!"

The Emperor went crazy immediately, standing there at a loss for what to do for a long time before he reacted and picked the man up. He kicked open the study door and shouted outside, "Call a doctor!"

…

Qin Changqing was a man, and the baby would need surgery to be born. Operating on a human body was dangerous, even in a technologically advanced empire.

Outside the operating room that had been prepared long ago in the palace, Lan Sinian sat on a chair with his head in his arms, his body so tense as if the knives were moving on him.

Qin Xu still wasn't quite sure how dangerous the surgery was. He sat next to Papa Lan, wanting to comfort him but not knowing what to say. Then he thought of his little sister, who would be born soon. She would be so soft and tiny, and so adorable! Qin Xu was a little excited, hoping to see his little sister soon.

An unknown amount of time passed—it felt like a century to His Majesty the Emperor—before the door of the operating room was finally opened. The father and son quickly stood up, looking at the doctor nervously and expectantly.

The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, another little prince. You now have two sons."

Before Lan Sinian could react, Qin Xu, who was standing next to him, was horrified. He subconsciously shouted, "Where's my sister?"

The doctor was confused and explained again, "It's the little prince, your highness, your younger brother."
