Hu Yan nodded slightly, "Okay."
The emperor talked to Hu Yan for a few words, and after confirming that he was really okay, he realized that there was another person next to him, so he smiled and shouted, "Zelda, you have also entered the palace, why don't you stay and have a simple meal with us in the palace."
Zelda could only agree reluctantly.
At this time, Hu Yan's mother, Leia, who was also the Queen of the Empire, walked in.
Even though they had met before, she couldn't help but tear up when she saw Hu Yan. She quickly walked up to Hu Yan, first looking at him carefully, then reached out and punched his chest a few times, with a tearful tone, "I haven't come back for so many years, and you didn't even give me a word. Do you know how sad I was when I knew you were in trouble?!"
The meeting that day was very rushed. We only had time to say a few words, and didn't even have time to ask him in detail about his situation over the years.
Queen Leia: "You have to explain to me why you didn't come back after all these years even though you were not dead! You made me, your father, and your grandfather worry."
She said this to pave the way for Hu Yan. There must be a reason why he didn't come back for so many years, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why he didn't come back all these years.
Hu Yan's throat rolled over, and his voice was a little hoarse as he said, "I was indeed seriously injured at the time. If I hadn't been rescued, I might not be able to come back now."
Hearing this, the Queen's expression suddenly changed. She immediately went to check where Hu Yan was injured, with an expression of undisguised worry on her face. She asked anxiously, "Where are you injured? Why don't you tell me, kid?"
Hu Yan grabbed her hand. There were still traces of Bai Zhi on his body. How could he let them see it at this time? Even if he wanted to tell them, it was not now.
At least Hu Ao can't know about this for the time being.
Hu Yan comforted him softly, "It's okay now. It's been healed for a long time."
The emperor's face changed when he heard that Hu Yan had been seriously injured. However, Hu Yan's current condition showed that his injuries had healed. So he held Queen Leia's shoulders with both hands and said, "Since Yan'er said he's fine, then he must be fine. Besides, so many years have passed, even a serious injury would have healed. Don't worry about it."
Hu Yan nodded, "Father is right, Mother, don't worry, everything is fine now."
The Emperor pressed Queen Leia's shoulder and said, "Well, he must be hungry after all this journey. Let's go eat first. We can talk later if there's anything else."
Queen Leia wanted to say something, but the emperor held her back and she didn't say it.
The food was ready. When they knew that Hu Yan had entered the palace, the kitchen had already prepared the food and served it on the table.
In the restaurant, robots are still serving food.
Hu Yan took the time to go into Bai Zhi's spiritual sea and told her that he would be staying in the palace tonight and asked her not to worry.
Bai Zhi was caught off guard when she heard Hu Yan said he wouldn't be back that night. She was a little worried, but then she thought of what Zelda had told her, so she asked, "Are you really okay? Do you want me to send someone over?"
Hu Yan explained, "It's just an ordinary family dinner. Father is still alive, so even if the eldest prince makes any moves, he won't dare show them in public. They just want to know what I've been up to in the past few years, as well as what happened back then. So, stay for one night and go back tomorrow. Don't worry."
Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Okay, if you need me to do anything, remember to tell me."
Hearing her relieved tone, Hu Yan chuckled softly, "Worried about me?"
Bai Zhi heard his teasing and started to taunt him, "Well, after all, since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been a bloody one, with fathers and sons, brothers turning against each other, and there have been countless cases of backstabbing. I'm afraid you'll die in the palace."
Hu Yan: "Then why do you say you want to help? Aren't you afraid?"
Hearing this, Bai Zhi did not respond, but said thoughtfully: "That makes sense, I have to get them to SS level as soon as possible, so that it will be more convenient for them to run."
Hu Yan: "..."
Seeing Hu Yan was silent for two seconds, Bai Zhi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, you really believe that? Don't worry, if I run away, I will definitely take you with me. But by then, you might not have such a high position or so many fans."
Hu Yan also joked, "If you don't have it, then forget it. I don't eat much, you can definitely afford it."
At this moment, Queen Leia noticed her son's abnormality, frowned and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Hu Yan said to Bai Zhi, "Let's talk later. Mother is calling me."
Bai Zhi: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Hu Yan shook his head. "I'm not thinking about anything. Sit down and eat first. I'll tell you later."
Queen Leia responded. She knew that if Hu Yan didn't want to say anything, she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him even if she asked. She would only wait until he wanted to say it, and then he would tell her naturally.
It's just that Hu Yan's expression just now...
It really feels a bit like a young person who just fell in love.
But she also felt that it was unlikely. She had once thought that Hu Yan could not find a partner, and she worried for a long time. She arranged for him to have one of the best females in the empire, but he was not willing to get in touch with her.
But it was really suspicious that he showed such an expression after he disappeared and came back injured.
Queen Leia was wary of this and decided to ask him what was going on when he was willing to talk.
Identity is secondary, as long as the person is a good person, that's enough.
She once thought that Hu Yan would live out his life alone, and having a female to accompany him would put her mind at ease.
Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on Queen Leia's face.
Hu Yan didn't know what Queen Leia was thinking. He pulled out a chair for his mother and let her sit down, then he pulled out a chair for himself and sat down.
There was exquisite food on the table. The ingredients were purified by senior purifiers, and the chef's cooking skills were pretty good. The food looked delicious, but for some reason, Hu Yan had no appetite.
Although the food Baizhi cooked was not so exquisitely presented, it tasted great. Moreover, seeing her eat with great appetite often made him eat more unconsciously.
Thinking of this, a hint of tenderness appeared in Hu Yan's eyes.
Queen Leia used her serving chopsticks to pick up some of Hu Yan's favorite dishes and placed them on his plate. Noticing his distracted look and the tenderness in his eyes that hadn't faded, her eyebrows raised slightly. Sure enough, something was going on! !
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Queen Leia's face. She was really looking forward to it. She wondered what kind of female could attract her son.
At this time, the person that Hu Yan was thinking about was preparing to eat roasted whole lamb at home with several of her beastly husbands.
She had just returned and on a whim asked the housekeeper to buy a sheep. The sheep here were different from the sheep in modern times because they were captured spiritual beasts, so the meat was firmer and contained the ability to restore spiritual power.
Baizhi prepared a secret sauce and brushed it on the beast meat. The boiler was dug out from the bottom of the press box, and the two beastmen lifted it up and put it in to roast.
After roasting for a while, the fragrance began to spread, and Baizhi immediately couldn't help it.
