Interstellar Empire, Your Highness, please don’t get sick.

As soon as the door was closed, Yan Zhao asked directly: "You know that nothing will happen to me if I am kidnapped, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have reacted like that just now."

Wei Shaojie blinked his sea-blue eyes guiltily and said, "Zhaozhao, you are too smart."

"It's useless to flatter me." Yan Zhao made a stop gesture and looked at him.

Wei Shaojie knew Yan Zhao well and knew that his expression meant an ultimatum.

"I didn't know they would kidnap you." Wei Shaojie said with difficulty, "You are a very important part of their plan."

"Them?" Yan Zhao asked, "Are they the Star Thieves?"

Wei Shaojie looked melancholy and sat slumped on the chair in front of the desk: "Zhao Zhao, the Star Thieves have not been destroyed for so many years, either because the Galaxy Army is a rookie, or..."

Yan Zhao suddenly understood and was annoyed that he had not thought of this earlier: "I understand, they have financial backing. No wonder their ships look so advanced. If they only have the technical support of the master, it is useless without money. .”

"Well." Wei Shaojie looked at him pitifully, "Master told me that you are already doubting him. But in fact, he can't influence the Star Thief's decision-making. He will help them because he has seen the miserable situation of the aborigines with his own eyes. .”

It turned out that Wei Zheng told his son that before divorcing Marlena, he had returned to the Arctic Principality with her once. Because it is close to the asteroid belt, the nobles of the Arctic Principality also have some private properties, which are located in hidden areas and are difficult to detect by the empire.

On one of the deserted stars, Malena's deceased grandfather took in a group of indigenous people.

They fled from various planets and gradually multiplied and multiplied.

There were traces of human experimentation on these people. Wei Zheng was extremely shocked after seeing it. He couldn't believe that such cruelty still existed in this era.

In fact, there are fewer and fewer indigenous people on various planets, so few that the younger generation is unaware of their existence. Only high-ranking officials from various planets secretly captured the orcs in order to gain power.

Those who escaped basically gathered on this desolate star and lived with the secret support of the Arctic Principality.

Although Wei Zheng knew that the Green family might not be completely compassionate when they took in the orcs, and they might also have the idea of ​​joining forces to resist the empire.

But no matter what, the current situation of these orcs is too miserable. They are hungry and full on a desolate planet, and a large number of people are slowly dying due to past human experiments.

So Wei Zheng agreed to help them build ships so that they could sail to other galaxies and find living space.

Unexpectedly, after years of help, a huge force of star thieves would later be formed.

After hearing this, Yan Zhao held his chin and asked doubtfully: "Could it be that the financial backer is the Beibing Principality? Do they have such strong financial resources?"

Wei Shaojie shook his head, clenched his fists, and whispered: "What I am sure of is that there are people at the top of the empire who are funding them. Marlena said she didn't know, but I think she was just afraid that I would tell you after I found out. "

Yan Zhao also thought it made sense and planned to investigate quietly after returning to Capital Star.

Since Wei Shaojie had told the truth, Yan Zhao would no longer embarrass him. Moreover, without saying it, he also guessed the reason why Wei Shaojie insisted on running for governor.

He was afraid that if the financial backer behind the Orc star thief was too strong and the royal family was really defeated, then those close to Guan You would naturally be liquidated.

"Fool." Yan Zhao reached out and flicked his forehead, "Even if you are the governor, if they want to liquidate me, there are ten thousand ways to bypass you."

Wei Shaojie was very confident, rubbing his forehead and said: "No, you are very powerful yourself. As long as you swear never to be loyal to the remnants of the empire, and then help them with scientific research. The Arctic Principality has helped them so much." , I’ll go talk to them, and they will agree to let you go.”

"You have too little confidence in the empire." Yan Zhao thought to himself, if Guan You knew that Wei Shaojie thought so, he might get angry.

"Everything is possible..." Wei Shaojie muttered. No matter what, Yan Zhao's life is the most important. Who allowed him to have such a good relationship with the crown prince. Only by defeating magic with magic and becoming a powerful person can we try to protect Yan Zhao from the conspiracy.

On the way back, Wei Shaojie became happy again, signed autographs for the soldiers on the fleet, and pestered Yan Zhao to chat.

When Yan Zhao mentioned that Guan You agreed to the conditions of the orcs for him, Wei Shaojie seemed to agree very much.

"Since he is one of our own, we better pray that he will not be overthrown." He seemed to regard His Highness as a tool.

On the day we arrived at the capital star, we were greeted by a huge crowd at the military parking lot.

Lu Yunjian was also in the crowd. He briefly greeted Yan Zhao and left with Lu Pei.

Although Lu Pei was on the same ship with them along the way, Yan Zhao never talked to him. It felt that this Luhou was more serious than the marshal.

The financial backer...could it be Lu Pei?

This time for the electorate voting, he was the only one who went to the Arctic Principality in person. Moreover, he and Marlena also knew each other when they were in school. Maybe he is the person who has connections with the Green family.

"Hey……"

When Yan Zhao sighed, Guan You had already announced that everyone in the military department should go back to work.

When the crowd dispersed and Yan Zhao was about to go find his master first, Guan You stopped him.

"Can you come into the palace with me? This time my mother and my father returned to the capital planet together. She knew it was because of your disappearance and she has been worried."

Yan Zhao immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay."

He always regarded the queen as an innocent and romantic patient, and he could not bear to refuse her request.

Guan You also invited Wei Shaojie to the palace. Now his status is no longer what it used to be. Since he decided to stay in the empire temporarily, the royal family should welcome him with a state banquet.

He Yexuan listened to their discussion, pressed his bracelet and said, "It's strange why Lu Yunqi hasn't replied to my message."

"He should be in the palace now." Guan You said.

"what?"

None of them understood why Guan You took them into the palace without revealing that he had given the seal to Lu Yunqi.

Although Yan Zhao trusted Wei Shaojie very much, Guan You still had a question mark on his position.

When the prince returned to the palace, everyone in the palace was busy. The royal chef tried his best to make Yan Zhao's favorite spicy dishes. They knew that doing so would definitely please His Highness the Crown Prince.

As soon as Guan You stepped into the palace gate, two secretaries from the Privy Council followed him closely, one on each side, reporting to him on the key situations in the past few days.

Guan You had arranged that he should not report any political matters while he was out, unless His Majesty the Emperor was too late to report the most urgent matters.

So as soon as the secretaries opened their mouths, it was a pile of chores.

Wei Shaojie was speechless as he listened behind him, suddenly worried about his life as a governor.

After stepping back a little, Wei Shaojie asked: "Zhaozhao, can you help me deal with these things in the future? You can be the real governor and I can be the puppet!"

"I've never seen anyone with such a big heart." As soon as Yan Zhao finished speaking, Guan You, who was a few steps ahead, suddenly stopped, his face as cold as frost.

"What did you just say? Repeat it again." This was not said to the two of them, but to the secretary who was reporting the affairs next to him.
