Qin Xu's bloodline awakening went very smoothly. After examining him with specialized equipment, the doctor beamed with joy and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Majesties! This young prince has become a powerful psychic. If nothing unexpected happens, his psychic powers will reach their peak in adulthood, and he'll likely become a super-class psychic like Your Majesties!"
After Qin Changqing heard this, he looked at the report produced by the instrument again and confirmed that what the doctor said was correct. The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Parents always hope that their children can live a peaceful life on the one hand, and on the other hand they can't help but hope that they will become successful. This contradictory and complex mentality, in the final analysis, can only be summed up in one sentence: pitiful parents' love.
Qin Changqing was no exception. He wanted his son, to whom he owed so much, to have a smooth life. He also wanted him to legitimately become the crown prince of the empire, bravely ascending to that unattainable position. And his son, Qin Xu, was so capable, he helped him fulfill both of his wishes in one fell swoop. How could he not be happy?
The only one happier than him, of course, was the Emperor. Lan Sinian was practically cradling the child in his hands, afraid he'd drop it, and holding it in his mouth for fear it'd melt. He loved the little one no matter how he looked at him. He was a perfect combination of him and Qinqin. His features resembled Qinqin's, but his facial contours were somewhat similar to his. He'd inherited his powerful bloodline, and he was so well behaved! Wow, there wasn't a more lovable child in the entire universe!
Even if the nobles who were still in the palace were not happy about it, they had to come over and congratulate the emperor and his family with a smile. To be honest, these nobles who were too arrogant were most wary of the unborn child in Qin Changqing's belly. As for this child who had always been thought to be the emperor's stepson, they had never taken him seriously. They never expected that the one who would surprise them in the end was actually such an unknown child!
The queen seems low-key, but she is extremely cunning. Not only them, but even the emperor has probably been kept in the dark!
These nobles each had their own thoughts in their minds, but at this moment they all decided at the same time that they would never go against the queen so easily again!
The young masters and young ladies brought by the nobles were filled with hatred. Lan Sinian was an absolutely perfect match in terms of appearance, personality, and background. Therefore, he had a large number of admirers in the empire. These young masters and young ladies were madly in love with him, thinking that they could take advantage of the opportunity of bearing an heir with him to have a wonderful love affair with him. But they didn't expect that the queen would not give them any chance! How abominable!
Iger, who had publicly stated his desire to pursue Lansnian at the military headquarters, was among them. He now looked resentfully at the family of three, who had absolutely no room for a fourth person, gnashing his teeth in hatred. The Queen was just an ordinary person from a remote asteroid. What on earth did the Emperor see in her?!
Unfortunately, the emperor and his family of three had no time to pay attention to these people's little thoughts. Lan Sinian was still hugging Qin Xu and giggling. Qin Changqing was also happy and rarely said anything to him.
The thing in his stomach, perhaps sensing the adults' joy, was making a fuss, kicking him in the stomach like a drum. Qin Changqing stood there for a while, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He said to Lan Sinian, "Take Xiaoxu back to the house and let him rest for a while."
Lan Sinian was reluctant to let go of his newly acquired son, but under the pressure of the Queen's eyes, he slowly remembered that the celebration was not over yet and so many people were still left in the palace. It would be unreasonable for him not to show up in person.
"Okay, I'll send my son to rest first." Lan Sinian said reluctantly.
Qin Changqing nodded and signaled the palace steward to entertain the guests first. He accompanied Lan Sinian back to the bedroom.
The doctor told them that Qin Xu had just awakened his bloodline and was in a very uneasy period of self-protection. It was likely that except for his two closest fathers, no one else could get close to him, so it was quite safe to let him stay alone at this time.
Lan Sinian carefully put his son to bed and tucked him in. He couldn't help but sit down by the bed and watch. He sat there for a while, and was about to ask what was going on when he saw the prince running in, sweating profusely.
The prince asked the guards in the room to leave, then he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said to the two of them, "Hey, I forgot to tell you just now, the little guy has just awakened our royal bloodline, and a bead will definitely appear at the same time. Can you see if he is holding it in his hand?"
Qin Changqing and Lan Sinian exchanged a glance, and the two silly fathers finally remembered what had happened. They hurriedly and carefully moved closer to their sons. Qin Changqing was about to reach out his hand, but Lan Sinian quickly stopped him and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Qin Changqing: "..." The veins on his forehead bulged and he suddenly wanted to hit someone!
Lan Sinian's force was so gentle, as if he was holding tofu, that he couldn't pry the little guy's clenched fist open for a long time, leaving the two people beside him speechless. The little guy was ten years old, not just ten days old!
Finally, with Blue Dad's careful and cautious force, he finally opened Qin Xu's fist, and then the three of them saw that he was holding a pearly bead in his palm.
However, that bead was not pure black like Lan Sinian's, but was mixed with faint red light, making it look like it was hiding some kind of mysterious power.
"Huh? What's going on? The beads of our royal family are usually pure black, how come there is red light?" His Royal Highness the Prince was very puzzled. Due to many reasons, he was unable to have children, but when he awakened his bloodline, he also possessed this bead, and it is still worn by his princess today, and it is also pure black.
He had seen that the beads of his eldest brother, the old Majesty, were also pure black. Even the beads held in the hands of his two nephews when they awakened were of the same color. Why did it change when it came to this little guy?
Lan Sinian frowned slightly, completely confused as to what was going on. He felt like a completely unqualified father. Qin Changqing glanced at the bead, his brow furrowing ever tighter. The faint red light was so familiar, a possibility suddenly occurred to him, and his heart sank.
"Kiss?" Lan Sinian saw that his face looked strange, so he quickly reached out and hugged him in his arms, gently stroking his back.
"Is there any problem? If there is, don't be afraid, I'm here." Lansinian hugged him and comforted him softly.
Qin Changqing didn't say anything. He leaned in his arms for a while, then suddenly looked up and said to His Royal Highness, "Your Highness, I want to ask you a favor."
The prince was very fond of the queen, who was always low-key and peaceful, and quickly said, "You say."
"I hope you can keep this secret." Qin Changqing paused and added with a worried look on his face, "This matter may be related to Si Nian's experience in the past, and it is also closely related to his health problems, so I hope Your Highness will not disclose this news."
His Royal Highness was known for his gentle nature, and rumors spread that he was weak. However, the truth was that he was devoted to the royal family and his only remaining nephew. If anyone tried to harm the royal family, he would not sit idly by. After hearing Qin Changqing's words, he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Changqing. I will not reveal a single word about this to anyone, not even the princess."
Qin Changqing stood up and bowed to him, "Uncle, thank you!"
The word "uncle" made His Royal Highness' eyes warm, and he quickly said, "Okay, I can't help you with this matter, so I'll leave it to you, Changqing."
"good."
After seeing off His Royal Highness, Lan Sinian frowned and asked, "Changqing, can you tell me what's going on?"
Qin Changqing was silent for a moment before he spoke his conjecture about the eight years Lan Sinian had spent on Earth, believing he was unconscious. The question of Lan Sinian's possible health issues, and the red glow within Qin Xu's bead, all seemed to be related to the underground laboratory where he had been taken and experimented on by his second brother.
Lan Sinian was silent for a long time after listening to this. His throat felt a little tight, and he said in a deep voice, "Dear, don't worry. I will never follow the same path as Third Brother. And... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
Qin Changqing frowned, reached out and hugged him for a while, buried his head in his arms and said, "Si Nian, I will be with you. You said I was your star, your only light, so no matter where you are, you must always remember what you said, and then wait obediently for me to find you and bring you back, okay?"
Lan Sinian sensed suppressed anger and deep worry from him, and his heart ached. He hugged him tightly in his arms, his voice as heavy as the deep sea a thousand meters below, "Okay."
…
By the time the emperor and his wife returned to the garden, the celebration had already resumed. However, the flowers had been scattered by the seawater, their former splendor long gone. So the live camera shifted to the grand celebration in the square. The people there, upon learning that the royal family had welcomed a powerful heir, were filled with joy and danced even more enthusiastically.
Lan Sinian waited until each show was over, apologized to the guests present, and then announced publicly that Qin Xu was his biological child, inheriting the royal bloodline. The royal family recognized his qualifications as the first heir to the throne, and a banquet would be held soon to introduce this heir to the public.
Then he invited everyone to a large palace in the imperial palace, where he and the queen began the first dance and then let everyone continue to have fun. The guests knew that this was a disguised way for the emperor to keep them, and even if they had complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to challenge the emperor openly.
After Lan Sinian left his people in the palace, he ordered the royal guards to search every corner of the palace. The man who disguised himself as Ahua disappeared.
Lan Sinian's anger towards other people was still under control, but he could not tolerate Ah Hua, who dared to pretend to be him!
The special guards were searching the palace intensively, while Lan Sinian was in charge of interrogating Lan Lezhang.
Qin Changqing had to entertain the guests alone in the grand palace. At this time, the guests' attitude towards him had completely changed. The queen's position was now firmly established, so they naturally did not have time to curry favor with her and dared not cause any trouble to offend her easily.
The special guards searched the palace for most of the night and finally found the fake Ah Hua in a secret room. The first time Lan Sinian saw him, he almost wanted to kill him, but thinking of Chang Qing's words, he finally restrained himself.
…
Qin Xu didn't wake up until the next morning. Lan Sinian had persuaded the Queen to rest the previous night, and had stayed by his side all night. But he was full of energy, even going to wash up before dawn, just so his son could see his father's majestic and domineering side the first time he woke up!
"Good morning, Dad." Qin Xu sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes and called out as usual, completely unaware of his father's specially dressed appearance.
