Even though a cinnabar jade ornament, barely the size of an adult's pinky finger, strung on a cheap-looking red string, cost two hundred thousand, it sounded like a rip-off! But Fatty Warren still had to pay! Meanwhile, the items he'd taken from the Bonai Auction House had to be returned free of charge. This fat man, who had only been trying to make a little extra cash, had now lost both his wife and his army, practically crying out for blood.

In addition, he also has to honestly explain why he got involved in this mess.

The fat, wealthy businessman frowned and said aggrievedly, "I just, someone just made me run this trip. We're all friends, and the conditions were good, so I just did it for the right reason... I never thought the gift I gave would be so terrible!"

The others were also speechless. This guy was so unlucky that he was cheated by his so-called friend and almost got his whole family involved.

But having said that, Warren is actually a smart man. This time he was just being used by someone. Now that he knows there is something wrong with the item he sent out, he doesn't dare to ask what exactly he took away from the auction house. He doesn't show any curiosity at all. He feels like a quail!

He had previously suspected he was being stalked by a manic psychic. He'd simply assumed it was someone with manic powers who had accidentally spotted him, seeing him as a psychic. He'd been too busy pestering Xitu to protect him, and hadn't given it much thought. But now, thinking back, he broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that after he'd accepted the job, the psychic had immediately arranged for someone to follow him! They were waiting for him to finish the job, so they could completely wipe out his entire family without even needing to investigate!

After figuring it all out, he no longer wanted to help those who wanted to kill him hide the truth, so he immediately revealed everything he knew.

Lansnian could tell that Warren was not lying, and the things that the fat man had sent away halfway were found back in time by the Royal Guards. Lansnian did not continue to make things difficult for him, but his so-called "friends" had to be thoroughly investigated.

Although Warren was just a cannon fodder, for his personal safety, he could not escape from the palace immediately, so he became Qin Changqing's temporary research subject.

Qin Changqing was very curious about the thing on his body, but unfortunately, as soon as the cinnabar jade he gave Warren was put on, the thing on his shoulder disappeared without a trace. Qin Changqing only swept off a little "dirt" from the cinnabar jade on his wrist, and his idea of studying the parasite was once again dashed.

In Warren's eyes, Qin Changqing was almost a god at this moment. However, when he thought about how this god had cheated him out of so much money in one go, he suddenly felt very upset.

He cleared his throat, looked at the small amount of black ash he had swept away, and asked, "Mr. Qing, has my mania been eliminated?"

Qin Changqing made a lot of money in one breath. At this moment, he looked at Warren with a "friendly" look and nodded with a smile, "Of course it's fine, but..." When Warren breathed a sigh of relief, he took another big breath, which almost choked Warren to death.

Qin Changqing handed the dirt to the intelligent AI for further inspection, then took a copy of the machine-generated report and read it in his hand. Warren's eyes widened, and then, as if he had finally remembered him, he slowly continued, "However, just in case, you still have to wear it close to your body. Otherwise, what if the other party is angry about your betrayal and returns to retaliate against you and your family?"

Warren was panicked by what he said, and he hated himself for being so greedy. Seeing Qin Changqing holding the report and moving to another instrument, his fat body spun around behind him like a top, he asked, "Can this, this cinnabar jade really protect against it?"

Qin Changqing looked back at him and laughed, "What else do you think?"

When the shrewd Warren saw the smiling face, he immediately felt that he had said something wrong. Probably no doctor in the world could tolerate others doubting his medical skills. He had no choice but to apologize repeatedly, saying that he did not mean that and asked the sir not to hold it against him.

Qin Changqing felt that he was a hindrance and after he had used him up, he had him driven away with a look of disgust on his face.

Lot No. 13, which was taken away from the auction house by Warren, finally fell into Lan Sinian's hands after many twists and turns.

It seemed that the Baonai Auction House did not withdraw midway because they received the news that the beauty of the Snake Clan was controlled by Lan Sinian, but that someone had arranged it long ago and colluded with the people of the auction house before the Snake Clan to intercept this thing.

Judging from this, besides the Snake Clan and the Blood Rose, who was clearly also interested in this item, it seemed that there were others who were also eyeing it. Lan Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly. As the Emperor, he didn't know about this, and as the Fourth Master Jin, he didn't know either. This made the matter quite intriguing.

The recovered items were still in a small box with the logo of the Baonai Auction House. Lan Sinian raised his eyebrows and reached out to open the box.

Inside the box was something resembling thin sand. Lan Sinian reached out, took the thing out, and shook it open.

The beautiful tulle fluttered gently in the wind under the sun, but it did not look like something made of gauze. Instead, it looked like a box of expensive jewels and gems placed in the sun, reflecting the crystal clear light, so dazzling that people could not take their eyes away.

Qin Changqing just walked in and saw the thing he was holding. He couldn't help but marvel at its beauty and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Lan Sinian turned around to look at him, then smiled and explained, "Jiaosha, a specialty of the Dragon Fish Clan. Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Qin Changqing nodded. He had indeed never seen such a beautiful thing before. When he heard it was shark silk, it felt a bit like a beautiful item that only existed in fairy tales. He found it very rare.

"If the Queen likes it, I will have someone send a room to make clothes for you." Lan Sinian has the potential to become a tyrant!

Qin Changqing was a little amused. He took the shark gauze in his hand and looked at it for a while, then he lost interest. "I'm not a woman. I don't need this kind of shiny stuff to make clothes." As he spoke, he couldn't help but imagine the scene of people working in certain industries wearing clothes covered with sequins close to their skin. He was immediately shocked.

Lan Sinian smiled at him, but in his heart he had made up his mind to have someone make a skirt for his queen with completely transparent mermaid gauze. Well, an apron would also be a good idea. The queen would put on the mermaid gauze apron and take off all her clothes underneath. She would definitely be very beautiful!

Seeing Lan Sinian's laughter becoming more and more obscene, with saliva almost flowing from the corners of his mouth, Qin Changqing couldn't help but reach out and pinch his ear hard, "What are you thinking about again?!"

"I miss you." His Majesty the Emperor smiled with his big white teeth and looked at his queen with lustful eyes, like a real pervert!

Qin Changqing knew at a glance that he had no good intentions. He was so angry that he pushed him down on the sofa and gave him a good beating, cursing viciously, "Don't think about it! Put away those messy thoughts of yours!"

"I can't help it. I can't help it when I see the Queen! My little brother is like this too, you know that." His Majesty the Emperor was very reasonable and well-founded, but what he received was even greater wrath from Her Majesty the Queen. He was pressed on the sofa and almost beaten into a pig's head.

My dear, you are so unreasonable! His Majesty the Emperor felt very aggrieved, but he could only take the beating.

After being beaten by his own queen, His Majesty finally became obedient and sat on the sofa in a well-behaved manner. He rubbed the fist that the queen had just hit him with in his hand and advised: "It hurts, right? Just twist your ear next time. I feel bad for you for hitting me."

Qin Changqing: "..." He rubbed his hands and gritted his teeth secretly. He didn't know what this bastard was made of. His body was as hard as stone. He hit him too hard. His fists would probably be bruised.

Lan Sinian beat his hand, blowing on it, pinching it and kneading it for a long time, until the queen kicked it aside in disgust. Then he bent down and picked up the ill-fated shark silk that had fallen to the ground and was cruelly stepped on several times by the two men's flirting, and brushed off the dust on it.

"Is there any secret on this shark silk?" Qin Changqing adjusted his expression and asked curiously.

"Maybe there is. It's just like the 'Snake Shed' of the Snake Clan. Some secrets are recorded on it using secret techniques, and then someone can be found to identify the contents. I want to see what this thing everyone is fighting for is." Although he said this, Lan Sinian thought of many things that happened more than 20 years ago, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

It would take some time to identify the items above, and Qin Changqing's birthday party was getting closer, so the two of them had no time to spare.

Qi Feng had already asked a designer to design the dresses for the two of them to wear that day. The dresses had already been sent to the palace, and the two of them needed to try them on in advance. Any inappropriate parts would need to be adjusted.

The requirements for formal royal attire were very high, but fortunately, both of them had excellent figures, which could easily support the dress. Although Qin Changqing was relatively thin, he actually had a layer of muscle. In addition, before coming to the Empire, he had been on the field and fighting with his teammates, so he had trained a lot. Not to mention Lan Sinian, his upper body was a perfect inverted eight-shaped figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Below, his two long and straight legs were long and full of beautiful and smooth muscles. He was a walking clothes rack, a perfect model figure, which made designers very worry-free.

Qin Changqing has a very good temperament, like frost and snow or morning dew, which makes people easily ignore his delicate and beautiful facial features. But when he puts on the royal dress, he becomes even more dazzling and outstanding, and is not at all overshadowed by the luxury of the dress.

Lan Sinian looked at the queen in her gown with an infatuated look on his face. He held his fingers and placed them on his lips to kiss them, sighing affectionately, "Your kiss is so beautiful. I must have saved the galaxy in my previous life to be able to marry you in this life."

Qin Changqing was amused by him, "Aren't you also saving the galaxy now?"

"Yes." Lan Sinian nodded in agreement and continued with a deep affection, "To meet you, I dedicated my entire three lives to the gods, risking my life for them, just to have you just once. The gods must have heard my innermost prayers and were moved by my sincerity, allowing me to meet you among the countless stars."

Although he knew that what he said was corny, Qin Changqing was still amused by him. He smiled and looked down at the ground without saying a word.

Qi Feng and the designers standing nearby all felt as if their eyes were blinded by the glare. One of the sentimental designers couldn't help but clasped his hands in front of him and said with emotion: "Your Majesty and the Queen are so loving! I envy them so much. I really hope that I can meet such a beautiful love in my lifetime." The others couldn't help but nod in agreement.

It must be said that when it comes to love talks, His Majesty is second to none. No one dares to be first. Even the housekeeper Qi Feng, who listens to him confess his love to the Empress countless times every day, blushes and his heart beats fast! - His Majesty is truly shameless!

After finally finishing trying on the dresses, Qi Feng and Butler Ceci, the person in charge of the banquet, brought over a large number of procedures that needed to be completed by both of them personally that day.

Although Lan Sinian was the emperor, there had not been many banquets in the palace for many years. He watched the banquet very seriously and discussed with them from time to time. For example, the venue must be prepared to be romantic and warm, the birthday cake must be customized to be the most beautiful and super luxurious one that no one had ever used before, and he even personally selected several background music. He must prepare a birthday party that his queen would never forget. After all, this was Qin Changqing's first birthday since they were together!

Qin Changqing used to be an ordinary person, practically never having attended a banquet before. Every word, action, and gesture required special training from an etiquette master. In the past, Qin Changqing would have been irritated by these things, but he knew that all of this was Lan Sinian's intention, and he didn't want to spoil Lan Sinian's fun, so he patiently studied diligently, even learning a set of steps to dance with Lan Sinian.

In addition to the two people's dresses, there is also Qin Xu's small dress, which is also very exquisite and gorgeous. The dresses of the family of three are all designed to match. When they walk out holding hands, they can be recognized as a family at a glance.

After trying on the suit, Qin Changqing's birthday was in two days. As a grown man who hadn't celebrated his birthday in many years, Qin Changqing was a little nervous. After all, it was his first time in front of so many people coming to congratulate him, and he was afraid that he would do something wrong and make a fool of himself, which would be a real loss of face.

Lan Sinian is actually not a very thoughtful person, but he pays a lot of attention to the affairs of his own queen, so he can naturally see it. Seeing that he is nervous, he comforted him: "Don't worry, dear, just be yourself." In his eyes, other people are not important at all and there is no need to care about them at all.

Qin Changqing knew that he was concerned about him and nodded with a smile.

On the day before the wedding, the object on the shark silk was finally identified.

"What on earth is that thing up there?" Qin Changqing was so curious that he didn't even bother to learn etiquette and hurried over to ask.

Seeing his curious expression, Lan Sinian felt a little itchy. He coughed, tried to turn his attention to the business, and said, "It's a star map."

"Star map?"

"Yes, it records a strange planet that has never been recorded before." Lan Sinian nodded.

"What's the use of this?" Qin Changqing was a little puzzled. The number of such planets in the Milky Way should be quite large.

Lan Sinian remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Only when Qin Changqing called out to him did he slowly speak, "The previous Horned Dragon King disappeared over twenty years ago. Before his disappearance, he had led his troops to suppress the rebellion and returned victorious... And the troops he led were only the outposts for my father's decision to suppress the rebellion. The rebels... As expected, my third brother was killed shortly afterwards by my father himself, and the rebellion was completely suppressed."

Unexpectedly, this matter was finally related to Lan Sinian's family. Qin Changqing looked at his calm expression, reached out and held his hand, but did not say anything to comfort him. Some words did not need to be said.

Lan Sinian held his hand, feeling his silent comfort. He smiled, patted his hand, and continued, "Although the previous Ceratopsian King won the battle, he unexpectedly disappeared on his way back. There has been no news of him since... There have been many rumors in the Empire about his disappearance. Some say he was assassinated by Third Brother's men on his way back in revenge and died in the vast universe. Others say that after winning the battle, he rescued many valuable treasures or minerals from Third Brother and was killed by pirates along the way. Still others say that he recovered the treasure, but was tempted by the money and wanted to keep it for himself, so he simply disappeared from people's sight... In short, there are many versions."

Qin Changqing wasn't a fool. He figured it out after a while and said in surprise, "Could the things recorded on this shark silk be related to his disappearance?"

"Yes." Lan Sinian gave him an appreciative look and continued, "The planet recorded on the Jiaosha is the last place they left their message. It's possible that we can find the reason for his disappearance here, or the treasure that disappeared with him."

"So this is actually a treasure map?" Qin Changqing said with a smile.

"Yes, this is a treasure map." Lan Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly. The treasure map may not only contain wealth.

Shortly after they learned the contents of the shark silk, Lan Sinian received news that the current Horned Dragon King, the headstrong and suspicious man who was said to have stolen his sister-in-law, had actually come to Emperor Star in person to celebrate Qin Changqing's birthday. Many people were shocked to hear this news, as he was not a very kind and easygoing person.

Lan Sinian and Qin Changqing looked at each other, and they both thought of the same thing. This Ceratopsus King was probably here to celebrate the birthday in name only, but was actually here for this "treasure map".

…

Huaxia Building.

Business at Huaxia Restaurant has been booming lately. With Qin Changqing's presence everywhere and the princess helping to promote the restaurant within the upper echelons of society, many people have flocked to dine at this gourmet restaurant. However, what they initially thought was a cash-in business using the name of the yet-to-be-revealed Queen is that the food is incredibly delicious! So many people come for the first time, then the second, and then the third time, and they simply can't stop...

And those nobles who were too proud of their status to come in person every day would also send their servants to take orders every day. Coupled with the many passers-by who were attracted by the food, the Huaxia Building was packed every day, with every seat taken and their hands cramped from counting money! The only fat chef in the kitchen was so tired that he lost a lot of weight and kept asking Earth to send a few more chefs. If it weren't for the mission, he would have quit doing this kind of work that required him to do everything himself! You know, even when he was hosting the state banquet, he only had to make one dish himself! Unlike here, he even had to make spicy lobster by himself! Wow!

When Jean finally finished her work, she returned to the back and saw her queen lifting a basket of freshly peeled potatoes. She was startled and hurried over to help, lowering her voice and whispering, "Queen, let me take care of these. You can take a rest first."

The beautiful man, addressed as queen by the queen, felt a bit embarrassed. He had previously lived a life of luxury in the palace, never having to do any housework. Now, stranded outside, he had only just realized the hardships of life, and how much painstaking preparation was required before delicious dishes could be served. This was truly a misunderstanding on the part of the queen. It was Tang Pa Pi's fault for exploiting the labor force to save money. PS: Tang Pa Pi was the nickname Luo Yuhuan gave Tang Qian.

"I'm fine. Besides, we are all employees here now. It's not good to let you do everything alone. I also get a salary." When he mentioned the word "salary", his eyes sparkled a little. It turns out that making money with one's own labor is so fulfilling.

Ji En didn't want to give him the cold shoulder. Something struck her mind, and she lowered her voice excitedly and said, "Tomorrow is Her Majesty the Queen's birthday. Huaxia Building will also send a gift. We can take the opportunity to sneak in."

"Yes, I hope we can meet Her Majesty the Queen smoothly!" The Queen also nodded.

"I have already arranged shifts with the other waiters in the building. The owner of Huaxia Building is a member of the Queen's family, so he will definitely be able to have close contact with Her Majesty the Queen. Then we can take the opportunity to tell him our request." Ji En was full of confidence in his plan.

The queen felt the same way, but for some reason, she felt a little panicked and always felt that things would not go so smoothly.
