This is not a busy commercial area and there is not much traffic, so when night falls, the streets quickly become quiet.
In the distance, there seemed to be a person standing at the other end of the wide street, staring at them intently.
The man seemed to have a pair of dark red eyes, standing in the depths of the shadows, with a gaze full of evil and malice, which could almost penetrate the space and darkness and rush straight to their faces!
Qin Changqing was shocked and shouted, "Who is that?!"
"Hmm?" Lan Sinian seemed to be in a trance, and only responded vaguely with a nasal sound.
Qin Changqing felt something was wrong. He quickly turned around and saw Lan Sinian frowning with a confused look on his face. He was immediately shocked.
Lan Sinian reached out and pressed his swollen temple. His massive body suddenly swayed, and the cigarette loosely dangling from his lips fell, rolling along his body to the ground. Qin Changqing was startled and instinctively called out, "Lan Sinian!"
This time, no one responded to his shouts. Lan Sinian's body, which was so tall that it seemed to hold up the entire sky, fell straight to the side. Qin Changqing's mind went blank and he hurriedly hugged his body. Unfortunately, Lan Sinian was too heavy for him. Although he was hugged tightly and tried to pull him back to lean on him, his slightly thin body simply did not have that much strength, and was easily pulled to the ground by Lan Sinian's falling body.
“Lansinian——!!!”
…
On the top floor of the palace, the starry night sky is brilliant and magnificent. A large round natural satellite hangs high in the sky, and the soft light is reflected on the endless dark sea below. The waves gently lap against the shore, giving people a feeling of reaching the end of the world.
Qin Changqing leaned against the window with a dazed look on his face. The scene of Lan Sinian losing consciousness and falling to the ground played over and over in his mind...
In his mind, this person has always been so powerful that he cannot be shaken. He can hold up the entire sky for all the weak people. Because of his existence, even if he faces the most difficult and terrible things, when he looks up at the sky above his head, it is bright and blue, and his heart will be at peace.
So when this powerful man closed his eyes and collapsed fragilely, Qin Changqing felt as if the sky was about to fall. He could hear the rumbling sound of the sky collapsing in his ears. He was just one of the countless fragile and ordinary individuals in the world, unable to do anything for this god-like man...
A prompt sound soon rang out from the treatment cabin, and Lan Sinian, who was lying quietly inside, was quickly pushed out. His beautiful sapphire blue eyes were still closed, and there was no sound. This made Qin Changqing extremely uncomfortable. He felt irritated and wanted to go over and wake him up rudely.
Lan Sinian was quickly placed on their large bed to rest. The head of the palace medical team looked worried and said to Qin Changqing, "Your Majesty's health hasn't been checked, but we can't figure out why he's been unconscious."
Lan Sinian suddenly collapsed at the police station entrance. Qin Changqing panicked, but quickly calmed down and gave him a rough checkup, but he also couldn't find anything wrong. It seemed like the man was too tired and wanted to sleep quietly for a while, but he would wake up soon.
"But..." The head of the medical team looked at Qin Changqing hesitantly, as if he didn't know whether he should tell him.
"You say." Qin Changqing asked directly with a serious face.
The team leader thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "His Majesty has experienced this before. It seems to be related to...his childhood experiences. However, every time he fell into a coma, he would be fine as long as he woke up."
Qin Changqing immediately thought of what the princess had told him, and his heart ached. He wiped his face, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I understand. I'll take care of him tonight. I'll call you if anything happens."
The doctors in the medical team all knew that Qin Changqing was also a doctor. After hearing what Qin Changqing said, they gave some precautions and left first, planning to hold a meeting to discuss the emperor's physical condition later.
Qin Changqing covered the person lying quietly on the bed with a quilt, tidied up his messy hair, and only felt relieved after he had tidied the person up. He didn't want to see the person in such a mess.
Qin Xu had already gone to bed, but when he heard that something had happened to Lan Sinian, he ignored Qi Feng's attempts to stop him and ran out in his pajamas.
"Dad, what happened to him?" Qin Xu had two tears in his big eyes. He looked at the person lying on the bed, then looked at his father, trying hard not to let the tears flow.
"...He just fell asleep." Qin Changqing knew that they had a good relationship and didn't want to scare the little guy, so he made up a white lie.
Qin Xu didn't know whether he believed it or not. He pretended to raise his hand to touch his hair, but in fact he was quietly wiping the tears from his eyes with his sleeve. He nodded, climbed onto the bed with a nimble movement, and said, "Then I'll stay here with him."
"Okay, then don't disturb his rest." Qin Changqing had no choice but to take another quilt to cover him.
"Yeah." Qin Xu covered himself with the quilt and nodded vigorously, looking at his father with hopeful eyes. "Then he will wake up at dawn tomorrow morning, right?"
"Yes, he will wake up." Qin Changqing patted his face and told him to close his eyes and fall asleep quickly.
After all, he was a child. The little guy held on for a while and finally fell asleep.
Qin Changqing sat by the bed all night, listening to the sound of waves crashing outside the window.
The next morning, when Qin Xu woke up, the first thing he did was to turn around and look at the person next to him. However, to his great disappointment, that person did not wake up.
"Get up quickly. Let your Uncle Qifeng take you to school today, okay?" Qin Changqing's voice was slightly nasal. He stood up and got him a set of clothes.
Qin Xu looked at Lan Sinian for a while, and seeing that he really didn't open his eyes, he had to get up from the bed in disappointment and go wash and change clothes.
When he finished his work and left the palace, he came over to take a look and said to Qin Changqing, "Dad, is he very tired?"
"Yes, he is the emperor, of course he is very tired, so he needs to have a good rest today." Qin Changqing pinched his nose and coughed lightly. He felt like he had a cold and was afraid of passing it on to Qin Xu, so he asked Qi Feng to quickly take the little guy away who seemed to have something to ask.
It was almost ten o'clock and Lan Sinian still hadn't woken up. Qin Changqing had no intention of doing anything else. He was a little suspicious that Lan Sinian had encountered the same situation as Hu Zhan and the police officer. He hurriedly asked someone to get red thread dyed with cinnabar and cinnabar jade ornaments. After thinking about it, he personally made a bracelet.
Qin Changqing's handicraft is pretty good, but the bracelet doesn't have any fancy patterns and looks quite simple. However, it looks good on Lan Sinian's wrist.
Qin Changqing grabbed Lan Sinian's wrist and looked at it for a while, then whispered, "Wake up quickly."
He murmured, "If you don't wake up, I'll go find someone else."
The bedroom was still very quiet. Lan Sinian still had his eyes closed and did not move. Qin Changqing was a little disappointed. He stood up and planned to take some cold medicine. He just let go of Lan Sinian's hand, but before he could pull it away, he was grabbed by someone again.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately looked at Lan Sinian in surprise. He saw that although the man on the bed still had his eyes closed, a strong smile had already appeared on the corners of his handsome eyes and eyebrows.
Then he heard the other party chuckle and say, "Even if I go to hell, I will crawl back. My queen is always so charming. There must be many people waiting to snatch her from me. How can I feel at ease?"
"You're awake!" Qin Changqing didn't notice that he was talking nonsense again, and looked at him in surprise.
Lan Sinian opened his eyes and flirted with him as soon as he woke up. "Yes, I have been summoned back from hell by my charming queen. As a qualified lover and husband, no matter where I go, your call is the deepest and clearest voice in my heart."
Qin Changqing was filled with surprise at this moment. Even though the love words he said were cheesy, he still felt that they were particularly nice.
"I'm glad you're awake. I'll ask someone to check you again." Qin Changqing turned around and walked out. However, he was worried that he had caught a cold after not sleeping all night, and he used too much force when turning around. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and his body shook suddenly.
This scared Lan Sinian. He quickly caught the person and held him in his arms, saying worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" As he spoke, he directly called someone over to the AI system in the bedroom.
Qin Changqing then remembered that he didn't need to go and call for help here, but he was really happy at this moment. Nothing could dampen the joy in his heart. He shook his head at him and said with a smile, "I'm fine." After that, he supported Lan Sinian's body and wanted to get up. He didn't want to be watched by others while he and Lan Sinian were being intimate in the bedroom.
His face was a little red, his voice was nasal and a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he had caught a cold. Although a cold is a minor illness, it can be fatal if it causes discomfort. Whether it is a fragile Earthling or a strong Imperial, this minor illness can torment them to death.
Lan Sinian retracted his arm around his waist and pulled the queen, who was struggling to get up, back into his arms. He wrapped her tightly in the quilt and coaxed her like a child, "Don't make a fuss. Be good and wait for the doctor to bring you medicine."
Qin Changqing sat there all night last night. Although he said nothing and looked calm, he was actually as worried as anyone else. Now that he was being held in someone's gentle embrace, he felt a little overwhelmed. He coughed twice in his throat, his body felt sleepy and weak, and his mind seemed a little confused.
"Then I'll sleep for a while." Qin Changqing blinked his sore eyes and coughed again.
"Don't sleep. Eat something and take some medicine first, then go to sleep." Lan Sinian patted his face and found that his body temperature had also risen, and his brows were wrinkled.
"Hmm..." Qin Changqing responded with a sound through his nose, his eyes glued together.
Lan Sinian felt so distressed that he lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead.
The doctor came over quickly. They originally thought that they were here to examine Lan Sinian, but when they arrived, Lan Sinian grabbed them and gave Her Majesty the Queen a thorough examination.
"It's just a cold. Take some medicine and get a good night's sleep and you'll be fine. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Lan Sinian was holding his queen, who was nestled in his arms. The queen's face was abnormally flushed. Because she couldn't breathe smoothly through her nose, she could only breathe through her mouth. The breath she exhaled burned his lips red, which made people feel uncomfortable and distressed. He ordered with a stern face, "Bring the medicine, ask Qi Feng to prepare some hot porridge, and turn up the temperature in the bedroom. Also, who was on duty outside last night? I didn't even know the queen caught a cold."
Qin Changqing didn't know that because of his minor cold, a large group of people in the palace were ordered around by Lan Sinian. The bonuses of the maid on duty and Qi Feng were deducted, and several more maids and servants were transferred to serve him specifically, making him look like a favored queen.
After waking up from a nap, Qin Changqing's minor cold was almost healed, but his body was covered in sweat and sticky, and his limbs were weak and sore.
He opened his eyes, still a little dazed. Lan Sinian reached out and tested his forehead. Feeling that his body temperature seemed to have returned to normal, he said gently, "Awake?"
Qin Changqing looked up and saw Lan Sinian's handsome face right in front of him. He then realized that he was still in his arms. He didn't mind that he was sweating all over. He asked, "What time is it?"
"It's afternoon." Lan Sinian glanced at the time and wiped his sweat-soaked hair. "Are you hungry? Get up and change your clothes before going to eat something."
"good."
The couple tossed and turned for almost a day and a night. First, Lan Sinian fainted for unknown reasons, and Qin Changqing stayed with him. Then Qin Changqing caught a cold and had a fever because of staying with him all night, so Lan Sinian stayed in the palace to accompany him for a day. Only now did they finally recover.
When it was time to take a bath, Lan Sinian insisted on accompanying him to the bathroom on the grounds that he was worried that the queen would faint.
"I'm just watching you. I won't do anything to you." His Majesty the Emperor sat on the edge of the luxurious bathtub, supporting his chin with one hand, half-lowering his eyes, staring intently at the deep blue starry sky bathtub, with a very serious expression - he was just studying whether the water quality in the palace was clear and whether the material of the bathtub was good. He didn't do anything else, really.
Qin Changqing: "..."
When the two finally came out of the bathroom, it was already time for Qin Xu to get out of school.
When the little guy left this morning, his face was filled with worry. Qin Changqing saw that Lan Sinian didn't seem to have anything to do that day, so he said, "Let's go pick up our son from school together today. He's very worried about you."
"Okay." Lan Sinian nodded with a smile, knowing that the father and son had been worried about him all night. He felt distressed and proud at the same time. As the strong pillar of the whole family, it was his duty to contribute silently, but he also hoped to get their attention occasionally.
Qin Xu was obviously in a very low mood that day. When his friends learned that his father was ill, they were all very worried about him. They folded octopuses for him and prayed for his father. This octopus was said to be the ancestor of the Lan clan. The more octopuses they folded, the more the ancestors would bless his descendants.
Qin Xu was very grateful to his friends. After he learned how to fold an octopus, he folded a lot of octopuses during break time. He planned to hang them in his father's bedroom after returning home so that the ancestors of the Lan family would bless his father and them.
When school was over, Qin Xu left the classroom with his schoolbag on his back. He saw Lan Sinian coming to pick him up with a big smile on his face. He was so happy that he almost went crazy. He jumped up and rushed over quickly, shouting subconsciously, "Dad!"
Qin Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Lan Sinian respond very naturally, "Hey! What a good little boy!" At the same time, he half bent down and lifted the little guy up.
Qin Xu also realized what he had just shouted, and her little face immediately turned red. She looked at him stupidly, and then at Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing: "..."
Lan Sinian was delighted. He let the little guy sit on his arm, grabbed the big bag in his hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
The poor little guy's face was completely red, and he was stammering. He kept looking back and forth between his two fathers, not knowing how to answer.
"Hey, is this a blue-clawed octopus?" Lan Sinian took out an octopus from the big bag and looked at it curiously.
At this moment, one of Qin Xu's classmates bravely approached him and explained how Qin Xu was worried about his "sick" father and how he wanted to fold an octopus to pray for him. He glanced at Lan Sinian and suddenly exclaimed, "Qin Xu was so worried about you! He cried in the classroom."
"I didn't!" Qin Xu, who was already embarrassed, retorted loudly when he heard this.
"You did." The classmate pointed at him and said proudly, "I saw you secretly wiping away your tears. Your eyes were red."
Qin Xu always thought he was a grown-up, so he was very obedient and sensible. He also felt that crying was not something that grown-ups would do. He just wiped his tears secretly, just wiped them, and was actually seen and deliberately exposed. He was immediately a little angry and glared at his classmates. He decided not to give the little bun to him when he brought it to school tomorrow! How annoying!
Lan Sinian felt warm in his heart, little boy, it's so heartwarming!
Qin Changqing suppressed his laughter and reached out to flip through the big bag. He saw that it was full of octopus-shaped things. Some were folded beautifully and neatly, while others were loose. It should not have been folded by one person. Moreover, there were all kinds of colors, which were very beautiful.
Qin Changqing turned to his son's classmates with a smile and said, "Thank you. Tomorrow I'll have Qin Xu bring you all some steamed dumplings and tofu pudding. Do you like them?"
The student's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said loudly, "I like it very much! Thank you!"
"You're welcome. I also want to thank you for helping me fold the octopus. You see, Qin Xu's father woke up quickly because of your help in folding the octopus. It was really helpful, so thank you." Qin Changqing smiled and patted his head to coax the child not to blink.
The students were immediately happier, feeling that they had also helped the adults and felt particularly satisfied.
Only Qin Xu was still angry, thinking that his father was holding him back. He had just sworn not to share the buns with this annoying guy. How could his father do this?
Lan Sinian saw through his little thoughts at a glance, and whispered to him with a smile, and the little guy's face finally turned from gloomy to bright.
※
Just two days after Lan Sinian woke up, he received a piece of news that made him angry: Shaman was killed.
All the people arranged by Shenhai to monitor Shaman were killed. This was the first task he failed after following the emperor. He didn't dare to say anything at this time.
Fortunately, Lansnian did not blame others. He thought it was his mistake. He was too greedy and wanted to use this small fish to catch the huge fish behind. This result seemed natural.
"Forget it, let's collect all of Shaman's property and carefully examine everything to see if we can find any other clues."
"yes."
Shortly after Shaman was killed, Hu Zhan and the police officer finally regained consciousness under Qin Changqing's dedicated treatment. Qin Changqing also finally confirmed that the red crystal, through the "conversion" of the red mole on his wrist, could be stored in the cinnabar jade to absorb the substance that caused the psychic to suffer from mania. He even suspected that the cinnabar bracelet left by Ah Hua was the same thing as the red stone crystal left by the monster black monkey...
Qin Changqing was becoming increasingly confused about Ahua's true identity.
He met Ahua when he was ten years old. They grew up together and accompanied each other's budding youth. He never thought that he would have so many connections with the Galactic Empire tens of thousands of light years away.
He sighed in his heart, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
However, he soon had no time to worry about these past events. According to the Earth calendar, his and Qin Xu's birthdays were approaching, and Lan Sinian decided to hold a grand ceremony, allowing him to stand in front of everyone as Her Majesty the Queen.
"Didn't you say it would be best not to show up for the time being?" Qin Changqing remembered that Lan Sinian had always told people not to reveal his identity and information easily.
"It's just the leaders of the eight clans and other nobles. It won't be announced to the media." Lan Sinian took his hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, smiling, "It's time for others to see that you can stand on the same level as me. Besides, my queen has never been a jewel hidden in the boudoir, but a star that everyone can only look up to."
Qin Changqing has become accustomed to hearing him always compare himself to a star, but this behavior of not feeling satisfied with thinking so himself and forcing others to think so is so fucking childish. Doesn't he feel ashamed?
