Qin Changqing didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly and someone would ask him for help so quickly.
"Is her nephew's condition serious?"
"From what I heard, it's not serious, otherwise the princess wouldn't be so calm today." Qi Feng replied.
"Then wait until I come back." Qin Changqing sighed.
All the gifts were loaded into the starship. Lan Sinian decided to accompany him back to Earth. There were still many things to deal with on the Imperial Star before leaving. Qin Changqing also had to communicate with the school about his son's courses during his leave. The two agreed to set off in three days.
"Xiao Xu has just caught up with his studies. Logically, I wouldn't approve your request for such a long leave." The head teacher in charge of Qin Xu was a little unhappy.
"Sorry to trouble you, the main reason is that we will be away for a long time, and Xiaoxu has no one to take care of him here, and we are worried." Qin Changqing squeezed his hands together. This was the first time he faced his son's teacher, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
Seeing that he didn't seem like an irresponsible parent, the head teacher sighed and wrote down a list of books for him. "Then don't fall behind in his studies. Remember to help him with his homework and reading every day, and remember to practice speaking with him at all times. He still needs a translator. It's okay for a while, but it won't last forever."
"Okay, I will definitely accompany him to study hard." Qin Changqing promised repeatedly.
"That's fine." The head teacher finally nodded reluctantly. "I hope his grades won't fall too far behind in a month."
"Okay." Qin Changqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he finally gave in.
Qin Xu was waiting in the classroom for his father to ask for leave for him. When his classmates learned that he was going back to his hometown, they were reluctant to let him go and prepared gifts for him.
"When I come back, I'll bring you some delicious food from my hometown. It's super tasty." Qin Xu gets along pretty well with his classmates. He's also a kind person and is always willing to let his classmates copy his homework - even though he can only be considered a poor student at the moment - plus he's good-looking and has a few good friends in the class.
"Really? Then we must not forget it!" The classmates had eaten the soup dumplings that Qin Xu brought to school for breakfast - made by Qin's father. Their mouths were watering just talking about it. There must be more delicious food like this in their hometown! It really is a great place!
"Yeah, I won't forget." Qin Xu nodded and promised. He looked up and saw his father waiting outside the window. He quickly grabbed his schoolbag and stood up, waving to his classmates. "Then I'll be leaving first. See you in a month."
"Goodbye." The classmates waved goodbye.
"I really envy him! He has two dads who pick him up every day, practice with him, and even take him with them when he's away." A classmate, who also saw Qin's father standing outside the window, said with envy. The other classmates nodded silently, holding their faces and imagining themselves playing with their parents.
"Have you said goodbye to your classmates?" Qin Changqing rubbed his son's head and looked up at the classroom.
"Well, I promised to bring them delicious food from Earth when I come back." Qin Xu nodded obediently.
"Okay, we'll bring more ingredients from Earth then." Just like many Chinese parents who always respond to their children's requests, Qin Changqing began to plan to collect more recipes to learn when he returned home, which would definitely be useful in the future.
It was time to return to Earth, and both the Qin family father and son were a little excited. They wanted to see how their hometown was being rebuilt, and wanted to know how their old friends were doing and whether people had returned to a stable life.
Lan Sinian arranged the matters that needed to be dealt with in the near future and appointed a certain elder to take charge of the overall situation before returning to the palace.
"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter I just received." Shao handed him a paper-like letter.
The deep black envelope resembled a bird's feather, its matte surface shimmering faintly with a faint blue pearlescent light in the sunlight. Only a single ancient Wind God character, the "Cang" (a character for "Cang"), was etched in a corner. Lan Sinian frowned slightly, channeling a trace of his supernatural power into the seal. A single line of words quickly appeared on the envelope's dark matte surface: Baron Shaman is in cahoots with the poisonous insects.
The line of words quickly disappeared from the cover, and the dark envelope turned into black dots and disappeared into the air.
The "Drug Bugs" were also one of the Empire's five major gangs. Unlike the "Sharp Knife," which only sold weapons and refrained from intervening in power struggles, the "Drug Bugs" were notorious throughout the Empire, engaging in all sorts of underhanded business. Their most notorious and detestable offense was drug trafficking...
Lan Sinian's face looked very ugly. He remembered this Baron Shaman. He was once his guard when he was young. He was originally just an ordinary civilian. Later, he was made a baron because of his meritorious service in rescuing him and became one of the small nobles of the Lan family.
"What's wrong?" Qin Changqing saw Lan Sinian's aircraft coming back from afar. When he came out, he saw that Lan Sinian had a very gloomy face. He had never seen Lan Sinian with such an ugly face before.
"Some little things." Lan Sinian put away his expression, grabbed his hand and kissed it, causing the Queen to roll her eyes, and then he smiled again.
"Shaou, contact the police station to check on Shaman."
"yes."
Qin Changqing didn't know the inside story and didn't ask much. He told him about the prince and the princess.
Lan Sinian was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not been easy for my uncle and his family these past few years. If it's convenient for you, please go and help."
"Yeah, I think so too." Qin Changqing put his hands in his pockets and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
With everyone busy, the family finally finished all their affairs on the appointed day. The family set off back to Earth with Qi Feng and Shao Hanhai, leaving only another deputy captain of the guards, Shen Hai, in the palace to contact the emperor at any time.
Because we are not riding a pleasure starship, the speed is much faster. It takes two space jumps to reach the Earth from the Imperial Star, with a day of buffer in between, so it only takes about five days in total to reach the Earth.
Lan Sinian’s starship was very large. In order to make better use of it in the future, after boarding the starship, Lan Sinian took Qin Changqing on a tour of the entire starship.
"This starship was originally intended for entertainment, but now the entertainment equipment in most areas has been removed and left for you to use as a warehouse. Other areas, in addition to the operation area, security area, and supply area, can also accommodate a thousand people for activities and rest." The starship is very large, and a family of three needs to take an indoor track car to quickly tour it.
"It's so big and beautiful." Qin Xu knew that this starship belonged to that man, and he secretly admired him in his heart. Moreover, the more the two of them came into contact, the more strangely their relationship developed. He almost never addressed Lan Sinian as an elder, but the relationship between the two was obviously very close. Even Qin Changqing didn't know what was going on between the two of them.
"Little guy likes it, so how about I give it to you?" Lan Sinian patted the little guy's head and asked with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Changqing glared at him. The value of this starship is immeasurable to the people on Earth. How old is Qin Xu?
Qin Xu also shook his head sensibly, "I can't accept it. It's too expensive."
"Well then," Lan Sinian tilted his head and thought for a moment, looking troubled. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "I think I have a smaller civilian pleasure boat. I'll register it in my son's name. The annual income is quite substantial!"
"That's enough!"
Qin Changqing elbowed him, but Lan Sinian caught his hand and smiled as he kissed his palm again. He thought that the experience Qi Feng passed on to him made sense. It turned out that one should give more gifts to one's partner to get benefits!
The starship soon arrived at the space jump point. Qin Changqing settled Qin Xu in his exclusive cabin to let his body and mind rest, but Lan Sinian insisted on sleeping in the same cabin.
"You have your own hibernation capsule, why do you have to squeeze in with me?" Qin Changqing glared at him.
"But when I think about being separated from the beautiful queen for such a long time, I feel very sad." His Majesty the Emperor showed a pitiful expression of an abandoned wolfhound.
"Do you need me to give you an injection of anesthetic?" Qin Changqing sneered.
"My dear, you actually want to inject me with such a terrible thing as anesthetic. How can you be so cruel to me!" The emperor's handsome face suddenly looked even more pitiful. If he had not used his tall body to press the thin queen into the corner, it might have looked more believable.
"I'm born cruel." Qin Changqing was pressed down by him until he was bent over backwards, but he couldn't break free. He glared at him angrily, "If you make trouble again, I'll beat you up."
"I heard that you Earthlings have a saying that beating is love and scolding is care. I think this makes a lot of sense." The eyes of the tough and thick-skinned emperor suddenly lit up when he heard this.
Qin Changqing was so angry that he almost laughed, "Are you crazy? Are you a masochist?"
"What is masochism?" Lan Sinian blinked. "Is it some kind of hobby?"
"You're such a fun person, get out of here!" Qin Changqing cursed angrily.
"No, not unless you have sex with me."
"Getting out has nothing to do with having sex, okay?!"
"Then don't leave, come and have sex with me!" said His Majesty the Emperor excitedly.
The two of them argued for a long time, and seeing that time was running out, Qin Changqing was finally unable to break free from the gangster's entanglement and was forced into the same hibernation capsule with him. Qin Changqing was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.
But the man didn't stop even after he lay down. He leaned over and kissed him on the mouth. Seeing that he raised his eyebrows and glared at her again, she smiled and whispered, "I heard that on your Earth, this is called a goodnight kiss. Goodnight, my dear queen." He had specially asked someone to collect these customs and habits! Earth is such an interesting place! There are always so many reasons to kiss!
In response, the Queen gave him a particularly violent slap. The Emperor fell flat on his back and rubbed his chest contentedly. Beating is love, scolding is love.
※
Five days later on Earth, the newly established Space Agency detected a massive starship approaching the solar system. All the staff present thought that the Snake Clan had returned after their absence for many days. The person in charge lost all color and passed the news back to Earth with trembling hands.
