His Majesty the Emperor realized belatedly that the way his Queen looked at him had changed again, becoming soft and gentle, which made him fall into her easily.

However, Qin Changqing was a reserved person. Even though his heart was filled with pity and sympathy, he didn't say much. He continued the previous topic and asked, "So, where is your second brother?"

Lan Sinian paused, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't find him." He found many of the two men's subordinates in the other party's laboratories. Except for the captors under Batsen, most of them were researchers with crazy ideas in their minds, and among these people, his second brother was not there.

"Maybe he was also taken away by Hetty." Lan Sinian smiled slightly, as if he didn't care that the man was his second brother.

Qin Changqing hesitated for a moment, but still told him his guess. Finally, he asked him, "Do you know if your second brother really hasn't awakened his bloodline? Or is he really pretending?"

"No." Lan Sinian frowned, as if recalling something, and finally said, "He is indeed just an ordinary person. I remember when I was young, my father was also puzzled by this. But with my uncle, a royal descendant whose superpowers were not strong enough, his case was not an isolated case, so my father did not delve into it. Besides, he had a deep relationship with my mother, and my second brother also looked like him. He would never doubt my second brother's background. In the end, he only gave a conclusion of a genetic mutation and forbade anyone to mention it again." This was a kind of protection for the second prince.

Qin Changqing looked at him and had a guess in his mind. Could it be that his second brother had lived among a group of powerful and outstanding people for many years, and his thoughts could not be controlled and went astray?

Of course, this is just a guess. At present, they are still not sure whether the second prince is related to all this. If they rashly say this guess, it will only make Lan Sinian feel uncomfortable.

Lan Sinian obviously didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he smiled and asked, "Darling, when are you planning to return to Emperor Star?"

"Go back and say goodbye to Senior Sister and General Luo and the others, then go back." Qin Changqing shook his hand.

"Okay." Lan Sinian said while thinking about bringing more sweet potatoes back this time. He could roast sweet potatoes for his dear in the garden when he has nothing to do!

Frank came back again, and his people found a lot of information from those laboratories that had not been destroyed in time. These things were all written in the Imperial language. Frank was a smart man. He didn't dare touch such things at all, nor did he dare let anyone else from the M country touch them. He immediately sealed them up and brought them to Qin Changqing this time.

These materials were very useful for Qin Changqing's previous research on mania, but when he saw the imperial characters on the documents, he remembered another thing.

Because of Qin Changqing, the Empire did not directly incorporate Earth into its territory or absorb it as a vassal state. While Lan Sinian promised to give Earth strong protection, he would not allow any clan to attempt to interfere in Earth's internal affairs. Qin Changqing was Lan Sinian's queen, so it was natural for Lan Sinian to protect his clansmen, and no one else had the right to interfere.

But this creates a problem. Since both sides are on an equal footing, cultural input and output need to go through many levels. It's not just about students from Earth studying in the Empire, but also about the Empire's writing system and official language, and even some of the universal languages of the universe. The Empire has no obligation to teach Earthlings.

Qin Changqing's first thought was about the language problem. Although the Empire had powerful translators, it wasn't a long-term solution. He could only discuss these matters with Tang Qian after returning, so he put it aside for the time being.

"You did a great job." Qin Changqing thought for a moment and then said, "Next time if you encounter such a situation, please contact General Luo in China. He will find a way to pass the news to me and His Majesty."

Although everything has to go through China, which makes Frank, a native of M country, feel aggrieved, the situation is stronger than people, and he has to give the nod.

"I understand. I will pay more attention to this matter in the future." After being reminded by his grandfather, Old Frank, Frank finally understood that the current M country is no longer the overlord of the earth as it once was. If it does not act cautiously enough, it may become a pawn of someone against the empire, or simply against Lan Sinian and Qin Changqing. The fate of a pawn can be imagined. As long as the M countrymen have brains, they will not want their country to end up in that situation.

Qin Changqing nodded, then thanked him for lending him the manor to live in, and told him that he would be leaving soon, but the specific date was undetermined.

"Mr. Qin, are you in such a hurry to go back? Country M has many scenic spots, and the temperature is more comfortable than in China at this time. Why don't I treat you and your guards to a tour?" Frank did not miss the opportunity and invited enthusiastically.

Qin Changqing originally wanted to refuse, but something seemed to slide on his back, which startled him so much that his waist trembled. He turned his head and glared at Lan Sinian, who was standing upright beside him and disguised as a guard.

"Mr. Qin?"

"Then I will obey your command." Qin Changqing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Frank had originally prepared himself for his rejection, but he didn't expect that he actually agreed. He immediately became happy and enthusiastically introduced him to some very famous attractions. Then he said goodbye and planned to make good arrangements after returning.

Hu Zhan sent the people away on behalf of Qin Changqing. After they left the living room, Qin Changqing turned around and glared at Lan Sinian fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid of scaring me so suddenly? I have a cramp in my waist."

Pregnant women should be carefully cared for and not be frightened, but the two are of different races after all. The Imperial Orcs don't have so many requirements for pregnancy. Lan Sinian forgot this point in his pride. Hearing this, it was like a wake-up call, and he immediately felt guilty.

"I'm sorry, honey. I forgot." Lan Sinian felt that he had done something stupid and started to worry. "Are you feeling uncomfortable, honey? Do you want to ask a doctor to check you out?"

Qin Changqing glared at him again and sighed helplessly, "No, don't do this again next time."

Lan Sinian nodded quickly, a rare moment of obedience. Qin Changqing then told him to go east, but he didn't dare look west again. Qin Changqing was satisfied. Did he seem to have found a way to deal with this gangster?

The southern part of Country M does have a pleasant climate and a suitable temperature at this time of year. After Frank returned, he specially found someone to arrange a tour itinerary, and then prepared to take Qin Changqing and his group around to tour around and introduce his country to him.

Because they were worried that Qin Changqing would feel uncomfortable, they rejected Frank's idea of providing transportation and chose their own aircraft.

Compared to many Chinese people, Frank was just a country bumpkin. He had never seen the Empire's aircraft. Watching them fly freely in the air or close to the ground, Frank almost exclaimed, "This is a real UFO!"

Traveling in an aircraft is a wonderful experience, but Frank's attention is almost entirely on the aircraft!

"Mr. Qin, can I take a picture with it? It's so cool!" Frank kept circling around the aircraft. There was almost no man who didn't like cars, let alone an aircraft that was more advanced than a car.

"Okay." Qin Changqing nodded with a smile.

Lan Sinian had also made preparations for this trip. He planned to take lots of photos of his family! This was the reason he had previously suggested that Qin Changqing agree to Frank!

Although it was a bit troublesome, Qin Changqing didn't want to refuse Lan Sinian because he looked so happy and expectant.

"Honey, you are so beautiful." The guard Ah Si whispered in his ear while adjusting his posture.

Qin Changqing glanced to the side and saw Frank turning his head with a horrified expression that said, "I didn't see anything." His face darkened. He reached out and twisted Lan Sinian hard, gritting his teeth and lowering his voice to warn, "Don't go too far!"

The blond guard looked innocent, he didn't do anything at all!

Qin Changqing was in a very good mood on this trip. It would have been even more perfect if Lan Sinian didn't go crazy from time to time.

A few days later, Qin Changqing said goodbye to Frank and departed Country M in a flying vehicle. The Frank family reclaimed the manor, but since it had been Qin Changqing's residence, it was no longer available to anyone else and was renamed Changqing Garden. It wasn't until many years later that the Frank family publicized the incident, attracting a large number of people to visit the manor. This was the place where a human hero and the Empress of the Empire had lived! A photo was a must! But that's another story.

※

This time, he stayed in Country M for a long time. When Qin Changqing returned to China, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese people’s biggest annual festival - New Year’s Eve, was about to arrive.

This was the first New Year after the war, and everyone was in high spirits. It was only the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, but red lanterns were already hung in the streets and alleys.

Lan Sinian had seen big red lanterns in the Huaxia Building, but he had never seen one on this scale, and he was a little amazed for a moment.

"How beautiful!" Lan Sinian couldn't help but sigh. They returned to China just as the lights were coming on. Flying low, they could just see the strings of red beads swaying in the wind. Those lit red lanterns represented people's deepest hopes and beautiful wishes, hoping for a prosperous year ahead.

"Yeah." Qin Changqing smiled and nodded, in a very good mood.

After viewing the river of lights, they went straight back to the garden in the capital that was specially reserved for them to live in. The maids in the garden knew they would be back, so they lit up the lanterns early. There were two long rows of lanterns hung on both sides of the antique corridor, which was very gorgeous.

Lan Sinian watched Qin Changqing for a while, then turned his head and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Qin Changqing touched his stomach and nodded, "I'm a little hungry."

"Then I'll order takeout for you." Lan Sinian said as he turned on the communicator.

Qin Changqing: "..." Did he miss something? Why does Lan Sinian look more like a qualified Earthling than him?

Express delivery and takeaway services have been fully restored. Lan Sinian ordered a lot of midnight snacks, and soon a handsome delivery guy came to his door with the food.

Lan Sinian ordered food from a high-end restaurant nearby, and the food was delicious. He and his family ate quite a bit, then opened the food delivery app and, after a few casual comments, gave it a five-star rating. Well, the money for the food delivery was something he'd specifically asked Luo Yuhuan for, specifically to experience the advanced food delivery services on Earth.

Qin Changqing: "..."

Senior Sister Chen Yushuang knew about their return the next day and even called them to invite them to dinner.

Chen Yushuang had been working before, but now both men at home are busy. If she also works outside every day, the two men will not be able to find hot meals when they come home. So she simply quit her job and went home to take care of the family.

"Senior Sister, you need to prepare more. Several of my guards will also come." Qin Changqing said with a smile.

"Come on, come on, it's more lively when there are more people." Shen Yushuang said happily.

"good."

Considering that it would be too tiring for Chen Yushuang to cook for so many people alone, Lan Sinian suggested, "Since we have nothing to do, why don't we go and help her in advance?" Although his cooking skills were beyond saving, he could definitely learn more theoretical knowledge and train everyone around him to become culinary masters in the future! To make up for his only shortcoming!

"become."

When Shen Yushuang learned that they were coming to help, she was very happy and immediately arranged tasks for them. "Then I'll make a list for you. Please help me buy the groceries. I'll have Yu Huan transfer the money to you."

"No problem." Lan Sinian agreed immediately.

Qin Changqing looked at him silently, thinking that this person must not know what the vegetable market in China is like.

However, the almighty Emperor had never been to a vegetable market, but as a gangster boss, Mr. Jin Siye had seen many black markets, and he could easily bargain with people by weight and persuade stall owners to give them a few more onions or something. Mr. Jin Siye was a man with stories and knowledge.

Qin Changqing squinted at him, holding a large bag of vegetables in each hand, and said, "I really underestimated you."

"It doesn't matter. I'm big enough. It won't hurt my dignity at all if you look down on me." Lan Sinian said seriously.

Qin Changqing: "..." This hooligan!

Luo Yuhuan had been guarding a factory in the south recently. When he heard that Qin Changqing and the others had returned, he immediately returned to the capital.

With Lan Sinian and the others helping out, Chen Yushuang prepared a particularly rich meal, just like a festival, and everyone ate with a hearty appetite.

"When do you plan to go back?" At the dinner table, Luo Yuhuan drank a few glasses of wine with several guards, then looked up and asked Qin Changqing.

"As soon as possible, we have been out for a while." Qin Changqing said.

Luo Yuhuan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you come with us after New Year's Eve?"

Qin Changqing paused and subconsciously looked at his guard Ah Si.

Luo Yuhuan didn't get an answer, and looked in the direction he was looking in confusion, his face full of question marks. Is there something wrong with this golden-haired guard?

The guard Ah Si was eating seriously with his head down, seemingly not noticing the two men's gazes at all.

Qin Changqing came back to his senses, coughed and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Really?" Shen Yushuang was very happy to hear that. "Then it's a deal. Come to our house for New Year's Eve dinner. I'll call your master over as well. It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so we have to make it lively and exciting."

Qin Changqing was very happy when she mentioned that the master was coming too. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, then we will all stay and spend New Year's Eve before leaving."

Chen Yushuang became even happier and started planning what dishes to prepare and what New Year's goods to buy.

Luo Yuhuan was very happy to see that he agreed, and General Luo was even more smiling and had no objection.

Only Lan Sinian was a little nervous. Was he going to meet that master who was like his father-in-law again?

Qin Changqing was in a good mood at the thought of being able to spend the New Year with his master, so he ran here for the next few days, specifically responsible for buying New Year's goods for Shen Yushuang, with a smile on his face every day.

At this time, Lan Sinian received a message from the deep sea. He found some traces of the old person, Guila, the third prince's lover.

According to the information left by the Ceratopsian King, the Third Prince only told him a name in an emergency situation. It is unknown whether this person named Guila knows anything.

If he wanted to know the reason, of course he should go see him immediately, but... he looked back at Qin Changqing's happy smiling face and finally said nothing.
