The daily live broadcast of the cute pets of the empire

Because it was too late, Jiang Ke was too sleepy to hold on, so he had to go to bed first.

After feeding the cats the next day, Jiang Ke turned over the system tasks from the previous day.

The content of the task is not long, except for the unknown description of the task. To sum it up, this new urgent task requires Jiang Ke to do two things. One is to attend Prince Elson's birthday dinner, and the other is to try to keep Elson during the dinner. Prince Wilson's life.

It sounds simple, but there is a very important problem in it, that is, Jiang Ke has no idea of ​​the exact time when Prince Elson may be in danger, and what is the specific source of the danger this time.

Is it an external reason or an internal reason, an assassination or an accident, or something wrong with him.

Jiang Ke couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he could only open the system: "Can you check for me, how old is this prince, and are there any other brothers and sisters around?"

[No, Prince Elson is 14 years old this year. He once had an older sister when he was a child, but he passed away more than ten years ago, so he is now the only son of the emperor. 】

The only son on the bright side.

Jiang Ke flicked his tail, always feeling that the system's words seemed to mean something.

However, it is useless to know these things alone. There is too little useful information. If no effective solution can be found in the end, it is estimated that the whole banquet will be followed by His Royal Highness the prince.

[Reminder, the butler of Prince Elson just called the Marshal and invited him to the Rocklin Palace for afternoon tea. Will the host want to come with him? 】

Afternoon tea at this time?

Jiang Ke quickly stood up from the ground: "Go, of course."

Just to see if we can gather any useful information.

Because the other party invited Zevia to the Rocklin Palace on the grounds of having afternoon tea, when Jiang Ke proposed to go with him, Zevia nodded without much hesitation.

On the contrary, Jiang Ke struggled for a while about what identity he should go with.It is very convenient to use the identity of a spiritual pet, but the places you can go are very limited, and it is not conducive to talking and collecting information with other people.

It is very convenient to collect information as a human, but it requires the use of transformation pills, and the use of transformation pills usually has a certain time limit, and it is not cheap.

[Special reminder, the auxiliary props provide transformation pills, which means that if the host can maintain the human form during the mission, it may be more conducive to the completion of the mission. 】

"What you said makes sense," Jiang Ke nodded, "Then I'll go after I become a human."

...

Locklin Palace, where Prince Elson lives, is not too close to Gale City, and it takes about two hours to get there by a small spaceship.

Different from what Jiang Ke imagined, the residence of the only prince of the empire covers an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters, but the decoration is very simple, except that it is clean, there is hardly any eye-catching decoration or decoration.

Even the appearance of the prince himself was beyond Jiang Ke's expectation.

After all, based on the brief experience of the two of them before, Jiang Ke always thought that the other party was similar to Zevia's cousin Kellogg, the kind of spoiled and arrogant boy, but only found out when he really saw him , not only does the other party not have the aura of an imperial prince, but he is too weak.

His eyes shrank, his face was pale, his body was so thin that it could be blown away by a gust of wind, his expression was slightly stiff, and only when he saw Zevia did he finally show a little freshness.

"Great, Marshal, you're finally here. I thought you wouldn't be here until the afternoon."

Obviously also very surprised by Prince Elson's appearance at the moment, Zevia frowned slightly, without any nonsense, straight to the point and said: "His Royal Highness specially asked me to come here, probably not just for afternoon tea."

"I..." Prince Elson hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

But the butler next to him looked around vigilantly, and then looked at Jiang Ke who was following Zevia, and finally stepped forward and whispered: "It's not convenient to talk here, please come to the house with me, Marshal!" .”

Similar to the outside, the interior of Locklin Palace is also very simple.

There are many rooms, but most of them are unusable. The butler took Prince Elson and finally led Zevia and Jiang Ke to the living room on the third floor.

As soon as Prince Elson said his request, Zevia couldn't help frowning.

"You said you wanted me to be in charge of some of the palace guards?"

"Yes," Elson nodded. "It's only tonight, and it's not the guards of the entire palace. I just need the marshal to dispatch some of his staff to be responsible for my safety."

"I think His Royal Highness has misunderstood something," Zevia directly interrupted him, "The expeditionary army is a border army and is not responsible for guarding the imperial family, and even if I am willing to transfer some people over, I still need to obtain Permission from Parliament."

"There is no problem with the parliament's permission," Elson said quickly, "I know that the expeditionary force cannot send troops on the capital planet at will, so I have already asked for permission from the parliament in advance."

As Ehrson spoke, he asked the housekeeper beside him to bring over the documents he had already prepared.

Jiang Ke leaned over and glanced at the documents in Zevia's hand, and couldn't help but marvel that His Royal Highness is really well prepared.

Zevia looked calm, just flipped through the information in his hand and put it aside, then said nothing, as if waiting for the person opposite to finish the rest of the sentence.

On the day of his birthday banquet, His Royal Highness the prince of an empire, abandoning the original guards and instead taking the risk of asking for help from a high-ranking military official who has nothing to do with him, it is impossible for no reason at all.

Elson's eyes were slightly red, and it took a while before he spoke softly: "I...I didn't want anyone to know about this, but I really had no choice. A week ago, my father suddenly brought him back from outside. A person, say that person is my... brother."

Jiang Ke: ...that's amazing.

Therefore, it is no wonder that when the system answered his question before, it said that Prince Elson was the only son of His Majesty the Emperor.

The only son on the surface, that is to say, there may be more than one son behind the scenes.

Of course, if it was just a brother with an illegitimate child, Erson's situation would not be so bad. The bad thing is that Erson has been disliked by the emperor since birth because of his mother, and the illegitimate son His older brother, who happened to be the child born to him by a certain true love of His Majesty the Emperor in the past.

Adding the two sides together, coupled with the already chaotic forces inside the guard army, it is hard to guarantee that no one will fish in troubled waters and want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Elson didn't care about the throne, but he didn't want to get involved in this chaos at all, and died in the end without knowing why.

"I don't think His Royal Highness needs to be too nervous," Zevia said in a flat tone, "Although His Majesty the Emperor has a staid and stubborn character, he is not a person who disregards right and wrong, and will not really ignore you because of an illegitimate child of unknown origin." safety."

Perhaps it was because he had been away from Capital Star for too long before, and Zevia really didn't think that an illegitimate child would affect Elson's status in the royal family.

What's more, although the emperor of the empire didn't like his son, Erson's mother came from a famous big family in the empire after all. Even if His Majesty the emperor didn't want to, for the stability of his throne, he wouldn't really let Erson by his side what's wrong.

"Bring those photos here." Elson sighed and said to the butler beside him.

The butler nodded, and quickly took out the photos. There were not many photos, only two. Inside was a young man lying in the treatment cabin, with his eyes closed and his body covered with scars. Prince Xun is somewhat similar.

"The person in the photo is named Alan, one of my doubles. The day before yesterday, I went to the college dance instead of me, and it became like this when I came back," Elson said, with an obviously depressed expression. "Today is my birthday. Banquet, if those people find out that I'm not actually injured, they don't know what to do afterwards... Marshal, I really have no other choice."

Jiang Ke leaned over and took a look.

Although it was separated from the training chamber, it could still be seen that the boy in the photo was indeed seriously injured.

However, he was seriously injured by letting a teenage child act as a substitute for him. Even though Prince Elson himself was a young boy, Jiang Ke still felt a little uncomfortable.

Zevia glanced at the photo in front of him, and finally nodded: "Okay, I can let people from the expeditionary army come over to take care of part of your guarding work, but you must cooperate with our command throughout the whole process. Can you do it?"

"Yes." Erson didn't dare to hesitate, and nodded quickly.

...

Because the matter had been settled, Zevia went directly outside to call Han Yao who was on duty at the base.

Jiang Ke was left in the room to drink tea. She glanced at Prince Elson, who was obviously very happy, and at the two photos that had just been placed on the coffee table. She always felt that something was wrong, but I don't know where this feeling of "wrongness" comes from.

"It's almost noon, are you hungry, why don't I ask the housekeeper to bring you something to eat first." Probably because Jiang Ke had been silent for too long, Erson felt a little uncomfortable, so he could only look for it casually a topic.

"I'm not hungry," Jiang Ke thought for a while, and said tentatively, "By the way, does His Royal Highness like to watch live broadcasts on the website, such as live broadcasts of food, and I happened to be watching a live broadcast recently, in which I was in charge of cooking It’s a juvenile spiritual pet, and it’s quite interesting to watch.”

"No," Elson shook his head, and said sincerely, "I still prefer to watch live broadcasts of mecha battles, but it sounds interesting that spiritual pets can cook, why don't you send the address of the live broadcast to Give it to me, and if I have time later, I will take a look."

"Okay." Jiang Ke said.

【Host? 】

Without the system reminding, Jiang Ke also knew that what this person said was a lie. It was obvious that the other party had just participated in an event in the food section of the website not long ago, and he happened to be selected by him to entrust the designated menu.

And what he cooked for the other party that time was steamed beef, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be so easy to forget.

Jiang Ke: "Don't worry, let's take a look."
