There were three people in the study, no, two people plus a clone of the Emperor...
"Don't come over here!" Qin Changqing's head was about to explode. He wished he could Crtl+z undo one step of the entire world and let time go back to one minute ago!
Lan Sinian was about to speak when Qin Changqing pointed at him and said, "Shut up! Get him out of here!"
The other clone, whom he dared not even look at, said sadly, "My dear, you actually despise me."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!!" Qin Changqing covered half of his face with his hands and closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to hear him say another word.
Seeing that he really couldn't accept having two of himself, Lan Sinian had no choice but to put the other clone away.
"Kiss, open your eyes." Lan Sinian leaned over and kissed him on the face.
"Have you put it away?" Qin Changqing was terrified and didn't dare to open his eyes.
Lan Sinian had never seen him so scared before. He was trembling like a frightened little rabbit, threatening its enemy with its big teeth bared. It was so adorable!
But he didn't want to scare him too much, so he patted him on the head and said soothingly, "Put it away, honey, don't be afraid."
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Qin Changqing moved aside, closed his eyes tightly and frowned to confirm.
"Really." Lan Sinian kissed him on the cheek again.
Qin Changqing then opened his eyes, glanced at his face, and then looked around carefully. After confirming that there were no unknown creatures in the study except them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Believe me now, right?" Lan Sinian looked at his alert movements like a little cub, and was so touched by his cuteness that he continued to kiss him secretly.
Qin Changqing glared at him fiercely, pushed the big head he had been kissing away, and then asked with lingering fear: "Just now... what was that?"
Lan Sinian chuckled and said, "My clone."
"Speak nicely." Qin Changqing slapped the man away again, very cruelly.
"Okay." Lan Sinian nodded and said in a slightly mysterious tone, "This is my ultimate secret weapon. I'm only telling you, my dear. Don't tell anyone else."
Qin Changqing paused, and suddenly he thought of the empire's tradition of respecting strength. This thing was not ordinary no matter how he looked at it, and he suddenly regretted asking this question.
"This is a skill unique to the Lan royal family, a top-secret 'weapon' of the royal family. My dear, my eight tentacles can actually separate from my body and take on my own appearance. 'He' is completely under my control, and..." Lan Sinian paused, gazing deeply at his queen as he slowly revealed the royal family's secret technique, never passed down to others. "If my true body is seriously injured, I can transfer my spirit into this clone to recuperate temporarily, or even continue fighting."
He pointed at the beautiful black bead on Qin Changqing's neck and slowly said, holding his chin, "If I put this bead into this clone, then if my clone and I fight, we will definitely be evenly matched. If we fight together, our attack power will be multiplied several times. At the same time, my tentacles can appear or disappear..."
The rest of the words were hidden in the smile on his lips, but anyone who was not a complete fool would understand how important and confidential this secret was to him!
Qin Changqing widened his eyes slightly. He was not stupid. On the contrary, he thought more clearly in his heart that once this secret was known by Lan Sinian’s opponents or enemies, it would be fatal!
His throat felt tight and dry, and he swallowed hard to lubricate his throat. He frowned, lowered his voice, and said disapprovingly, "You shouldn't have told me that."
"What does it matter?" Lan Sinian smiled, tapping his chin lightly with his sexy, powerful fingers, and said confidently, "My dear, I am one with you. I like you, I love you, and I am willing to share all my secrets with you. And I believe you will never betray me, right?"
Qin Changqing naturally would not betray him, he had no reason to, but he still disapproved of Lan Sinian's behavior, it was too rash. He asked in a deep voice: "What if someone catches me and hypnotizes me?" He knew that there were great hypnotists in the empire, and these hypnotists were not like the hypnotists on Earth who just learned a knowledge and relied on this limited knowledge for analysis and research, but really had the ability to hypnotize, which was a powerful innate ability.
The smile on Lan Sinian's face became even more mysterious. He said with a smile on his face, "Then my dear, you must remember to protect yourself and don't fall into the hands of bad people."
Qin Changqing thought this was a very serious matter, concerning the fate of the entire empire and Lan Sinian's life, but Lan Sinian looked nonchalant. A ball of fire suddenly burst out in his heart, and he thought to himself that if this bastard was his son, he would beat him to death with a stick!
Seeing that he was really angry, Lan Sinian coaxed him gently, "I was just joking. Don't worry, honey. I will protect you and will never let you get hurt. I won't let anyone else get the chance to hurt you."
"Wouldn't it be better if you just didn't tell me?!" Qin Changqing's face was gloomy and full of anger. He didn't understand what was going on in this girl's head!
"But in this way, when you know there is danger, you will think of me and want to protect me, so it won't offend me." His Majesty the Emperor was right.
Qin Changqing was furious. This wasn't the case at all, okay?!
But now it's no use being angry to death, he has already heard what he shouldn't have heard, so he can only punch this bastard to vent his anger. This bastard always makes him angry and moved at the same time, he really owes him in his previous life!
"Then next... are you planning to let your clone follow me to the place marked on the 'treasure map'?" Qin Changqing didn't want to continue being angry, so he had to change the subject to avoid being angered to death.
Lan Sinian smiled and took his hand in his, then kissed it on his lips, saying, "It's not me, but the guard Ah Si who will closely protect Her Majesty the Queen when she goes out on adventures. He will devote himself to Her Majesty until his death."
Qin Changqing: "..." Oh, he finally understood why this bastard could juggle the identities of gangster boss and emperor so well. So here's the reason! - As someone with a powerful clone, the emperor could easily fight gangster boss Jin Siye head-on in front of the entire empire. Then no one would doubt their identities. It was perfect.
Qin Changqing: = =He wants to beat someone up again!
"But you can't go out as the Queen. Hmm, why not go as a wealthy sponsor instead? A handsome, wealthy sponsor with a strong personal guard and a hired mercenary group to accompany you on your treasure hunt." The Emperor thought this was a great idea. He clapped his hands and continued, "And I believe that once you leave the Imperial Star with this treasure map, you'll definitely attract many big fish. This way, my Queen can achieve another great achievement."
"After I disguise myself, will these big fish also know that we left the Imperial Star for this matter?" Qin Changqing asked back.
"Of course, as long as you bring the Dragon Fish Queen, they will definitely take the bait." Lan Sinian smiled meaningfully. "Do you think that all the people on the Imperial Star are good citizens?"
Qin Changqing paused. Of course he wouldn't be so naive, but Lan Sinian's words did remind him that many things have two sides.
After the two finished discussing the matter in the study, Lan Sinian took Qin Changqing to the room where the Dragon Fish Queen Ji Sai was housed.
Lansnian did not give much face to the former Dragon Fish Queen, but he did not treat him badly either. After all, the former Horned Dragon Fish King had indeed made great military achievements for the empire and was a capable general under the former emperor. It was reasonable for him to take better care of him. In fact, if he had not secretly helped, the queen and his son would have been secretly killed by Prince El long ago, and they would not have waited until today to ask them for help.
Before they arrived, Ji Sai had already recounted his experiences several times, prompted by Shaou, but since he had never met him, the information he could provide was limited. Lan Sinian had almost guessed this and waved Shaou off, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen." Ji Sai looked a little tired, but in good spirits. This might be because he finally saw hope.
Lan Sinian nodded casually, pulled Qin Changqing to sit down, and then asked slowly and casually: "How do you want us to help you?" He did not mention the countermeasures he had just discussed with his queen in the study, and Qin Changqing also kept his mouth shut and had no intention of speaking.
Ji Sai was shocked when she heard this, then she looked at the two of them nervously and said, "Your Majesty, could you please send someone to that place to bring Prince Al back?"
Lan Sinian said nothing, tapping the armrest lightly with his fingers, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Ji Sai looked at him anxiously, with cold sweat on her forehead.
The silence of the superior made time seem incomparably long. Ji En, who was standing next to Ji Sai, seemed unable to bear this dull pressure. His hands were shaking slightly. He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the sweat sliding down his forehead to prevent it from falling into his eyes.
It seemed like an eternity had passed before Lan Sinian said calmly, "It's not appropriate for me to interfere in this matter. After all, whether Prince Al is still alive is still unknown. However, I can show you a way forward."
When Ji Sai heard that he was not going to intervene, his vision suddenly went dark, and his heart, which had been high in the air, plummeted to the bottom in an instant. He almost couldn't stand.
But how could he just give up like that? If even he gave up, who else could save that man?
He swallowed, tried to calm his mind, forced himself to stand up straight, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Lan Sinian reached out and grasped Qin Changqing's fingers in his palm, saying, "I have a friend who loves adventure and has a lot of connections. I think the thing your Dragon Fish Clan has the most of is money... Money makes things easier to get done. You can discuss this with him."
"This..." Gisai looked at him hesitantly, obviously thinking about the fact that Prince Tyre was still chasing him.
"You can ask him to provide you with protection. As long as you can reach an agreement, I can guarantee his credibility. You don't have to worry about that." Lan Sinian said.
Ji Sai thought that having Lan Sinian directly handle this matter was the safest option, but how could he change Lan Sinian's decision? He was silent for a long time, and could only settle for the next best thing. He whispered, "I want to meet with your friend first. Is that okay?"
"Of course no problem." Lan Sinian agreed readily, holding the queen's hand and gently tickling his soft palm.
Qin Changqing's palms were very sensitive, especially his right hand. He didn't know why, but when Lansinian scratched him lightly, it felt like it had hit his heart directly. He was so itchy that he wanted to beat someone up and commit domestic violence!
After meeting the Queen of Dragon Fish, it was already quite late.
The two of them went straight out of the palace to pick up Qin Zhao from school, and discussed what to do with their son after they left Emperor Star.
"He is now in the critical period of blood awakening, and his body is being transformed. Whether he can better integrate with superpowers in the future depends on now, so he can't leave the Imperial Star." Lan Sinian has been accompanying Qin Xu to practice mecha recently. Qin Xu is sensible and studious, and learns very quickly. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor, who has been a genius since childhood, is very satisfied with his progress. He is looking forward to witnessing with his own eyes what kind of powerful power the little guy will possess after awakening.
"But," Qin Changqing frowned and paused for a moment before continuing, "I don't know how long it will take me to come back this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it."
Lan Sinian was well aware of the special relationship between father and son. He squeezed his hand and said, "I'll have my clone stay on Emperor Star to accompany him."
Qin Changqing thought for a long time and sighed softly, "This is the only way."
However, although the two reached a unanimous decision, the little guy still had to nod in agreement. Qin Changqing, who was a little bit in control, was still a little nervous, fearing that the little guy would not agree.
The school gate was very lively after school. Qin Changqing saw from afar that Qin Xu was chatting and laughing with his friends lively. He was far from the introverted and taciturn person he had been when he and he left the earth. In fact, all this was thanks to Lan Sinian's attitude of treating him like his own son. He felt that Qin Xu might have found the shadow of another father in him and believed that the three of them were a complete family.
"Dad, Dad." Qin Xu turned his head and saw them, and immediately rushed towards them with a smile.
He called dad twice in a row, of course not because he was too clingy, but because the word "dad" belonged to one person and was unambiguous.
Qin Changqing agreed with a smile. Lan Sinian had already reached out and lifted him up. He asked with a smile, "Son, were your classmates satisfied with your lunch?"
"Yeah, everyone likes it." Maybe because he has never enjoyed the care of his parents, Qin Xu does not think that Blue Dad's nouveau riche behavior is shameful. Instead, he thinks that this father is really great!
Lan Sinian smiled, revealing a row of large white teeth. He raised his chin and said generously, "Then we'll continue next time."
"Okay, okay." Qin Xu knew that he was not short of money, so he had no intention of saving money for him. He nodded in agreement repeatedly, and the father and son were very affectionate.
The family of three left the school. Qin Xu, noticing they were not going back to the palace, asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
"Buy some clothes for your dad, he has to go out." Lan Sinian said directly.
Qin Changqing glared at him. He had originally planned to find a good opportunity to talk to his son slowly, but he didn't expect this man to hold him back so much!
"Dad, where are you going?" Qin Xu didn't think much about it, but turned around and asked Qin Changqing curiously.
Qin Changqing felt guilty and patted his head. After a while, he said seriously, "I have to leave Emperor Star for a while, but I can't take you with me. Xiao Xu, can you stay in the palace?"
Qin Xu's smile vanished upon hearing this. He looked at his father, then at Lan Sinian, bewildered, and asked quietly, "Are you two leaving?"
"No, I'll stay with you in the palace." Lan Sinian patted his little head.
Qin Xu looked up at him, nodded and said, "Okay then."
He turned to look at Qin Changqing again and ordered, "Then Dad, you must come back early and take good care of yourself outside. We will be waiting for you in the palace."
Qin Changqing: "..."...No, the little guy knew that Lansinian would stay with him, so it didn't matter whether his biological father was around or not???
He suddenly felt that as a biological father, he should have a stronger sense of crisis! Otherwise, he wouldn't even know his son was taken away!
It’s all Lan Sinian’s fault! He glared at Lan Sinian with hatred, this bastard!
His Majesty the Emperor is completely innocent, so why should we blame him for this?
…
That night, Qin Changqing, under the pseudonym "Mr. Qing", exchanged emails with Ji Sai and agreed to meet at a cafe in the city the next day.
After closing the email, Qin Changqing felt a little worried and said to Lan Sinian, "If I look like this, Ji Sai will recognize me if I'm in a normal disguise, right?"
"Honey, do you want me to help you?" Lan Sinian asked with a smile.
Qin Changqing glanced at him and said nothing. His meaning was very clear: if you have a solution, why not offer it to Her Majesty the Queen right away!
His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a moment, then said to the Empress with an embarrassed look on his face, "I do have a plan, but it will cost me a lot. I need your help."
Usually at this time, His Majesty the Emperor would start to act up. Qin Changqing had almost figured out his "habits" and understood them very well, but he still asked, "What price will you pay? How can I help you?"
Lan Sinian smiled mischievously at him, "The price is my body fluids. Applying my body fluids on your face can easily change your appearance without any side effects, and it can also nourish your skin. But you know, as a deep-sea species, if we don't have enough body fluids, we'll die on land, so we need your help."
Qin Changqing: "..." Speaking of body fluids, he immediately thought of something unspeakable, and he still needed his help, and it was applied on his face... Her Majesty the Queen's face turned pale immediately, and she pounced on him and beat him up.
The beaten emperor was reluctant to fight back and kept saying, "My dear, why are you hitting me again? I'm just helping you."
"Shut up! I'll beat you to death!"
His Majesty the Emperor feels very aggrieved. How could the Empress be so bullying?
