soul devouring system

"Shuma's family must send someone to the ball. Originally, his sister came to participate, but he came back. The old prince probably wanted him to return to this noble life as soon as possible, so he sent him to the ball. I threw it here, the dance partner I found for you is his sister, so I have to let him go back and call his sister over!"

Wang Dong was a little surprised.

Don't look at Andy's usual scheming and mindless appearance, in fact, he does tricks and tricks without any trace, even if he is caught, he is still willing to sneak in.

It's just that Wang Dong didn't know what exactly he said to that Shuma that would make him so active.

"Okay, let's wait for him here for a while."

"Ah."

Wang Dong nodded.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince." The two were standing at the edge of the venue with nothing to do, when an old man dressed as a servant came out of the small building.

"Director Nan? What's the matter, father?" Andy asked immediately after seeing the old man.

"Your Majesty summoned all your Highnesses to discuss something important." Director Nan said.

"..." Andy frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and waved to Wang Dong: "Wang Dong, you can just wait here for Shuma, and I will go in first when my father summons me."

"it is good."

"It's strange, my father has never called us before the ball..." Andy said to himself and walked towards the house with the manager Nan.

But on the way, the manager Nan didn't speak at all.

It wasn't until the two of them walked into the room, on the stairs on the second floor, that Manager Nan suddenly said something that made Andy puzzled.

"Fourth prince, don't be impatient."

Andy looked a little astonished.

This Chief Nan is the emperor's personal servant. He has been by the emperor's side almost since he ascended the throne. It can be said that even the emperor's own son does not necessarily have these servants to understand the emperor's thoughts.

And their words and deeds also reveal the emperor's thoughts to a certain extent.

But Andy didn't understand.

Why didn't Director Nan tell himself to "don't worry", what exactly was he talking about when he said that he didn't go to the village and didn't go to the shop.

However, when Andy walked into the small room he was familiar with in the past, he understood the meaning of Manager Nan's deep words, and it seemed a bit late for him to understand.

The old emperor sat on the big carved chair.

Although he is sitting, his state at this moment is so bad that people can find it at a glance. Even Andy stood in the doorway of the room in surprise, staring blankly at his father's pale face. His complexion—it really looks like a wrinkled white paper. Looking at the emperor carefully, his skin seems to have lost the support of blood, and Andy even saw that even the flesh and blood under his fingernails It was pale, and Andy assured that even the tamers in the Wumeng who had been subjected to soul experiments did not show such a miserable state.

But at this moment, Lao Wang still had his eyes open.

It's just that the emotions revealed in those eyes are complicated.

Andy saw the fear of death in those eyes. He stood at the door, and the room was full of his brothers and sisters at this moment.

Besides Aier, even his two youngest siblings are here.

Under the old throne, there was a figure kneeling tremblingly.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Andy came back to his senses, and first hurriedly asked.

But the old emperor didn't reply, and even the emotion in his eyes didn't change. When the words fell, the eldest prince stood up.

"Fourth brother, you have arrived."

Andy looked at his elder brother, the man whose hair had begun to turn gray had a sad look on his face.

"Brother, what's going on here?" Andy hurriedly asked.

The eldest prince shook his head.

"My father was already like this when I came. Director Nan said that before we came, my father suddenly had a big appetite and wanted to eat some dessert in the afternoon. After eating the dessert, he became like this." The eldest prince turned his head. Pointing to the man kneeling on the ground: "This is the guy who is in charge of the father's diet today. I thought the matter was important, so I said that I will wait for everyone to arrive before starting the interrogation."

The eldest prince looked around, and then asked: "Where is Irene? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"Irene has a magic class today, I'll send someone to call her here," Andy said.

"That girl is always absent at the critical moment. Forget it, there is no need to call her, otherwise I don't know how long it will be delayed." The eldest prince said.

He seemed very dissatisfied with Irene's behavior, but he didn't waste any time on Irene's question, turned around, and waved to his younger siblings.

"Everyone, the fourth child has arrived, so let's start."

The crowd nodded.

The figure kneeling on the ground shuddered violently, and Andy stood beside the third prince. The third brother, who was born in a military force, glanced at him and didn't say anything—the atmosphere in the small room was dignified. The man on the ground kept trembling, and when Andy returned to his seat, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at him, but unfortunately, those eyes were full of timidity and panic.

Andy felt a little strange.

But I can't tell where it is the strangest.

"Tell me about your identity."

On such an occasion, it was the moment when the eldest brother became a father, and the eldest prince seemed to have possessed the supreme majesty and power to judge the poor man in front of him.

"Elder, eldest prince, princes and princesses, villain, villain Angehu, yes, is the court pastry chef who applied to enter the palace costume three months ago..."

"Am I asking you this?"

That Angehu's breathing changed with this insipid question, but he didn't dare to continue. Before the eldest prince finished speaking, Anglehu's tears burst into his eyes instantly.

"Big
, Your Highness, Your Highness!I really, really don't know what's going on!The cakes made by the villain are all carefully inspected by inspectors!I really don’t know why His Majesty turned into this after eating—"

"Sophistry!" The eldest prince moved his arm, and swung his arm forward violently. "Come on! Slap your mouth!"

"Elder Prince! No, Eldest Prince! I really don't know, I really—ah!" Immediately in front of the man were two shadow guards. It had already begun to open and close, and for a while the whole room was filled with the screams of the palace pastry chef.

"Brother!" Andy stood up, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and stretched out his arm to grab a hidden guard's wrist.

It's just that the hidden guard of the palace has always only obeyed the orders of one person, and everyone was shocked, but Andy's hand that was grabbing the hidden guard was miraculously held on the wrist of the hidden guard, as if the eldest prince's hidden guard was against the guard's wrist. Andy didn't resist, but Andy let go of his hand immediately.

"Fourth brother, how are you?"

Facing Andy, the First Prince didn't see Andy's hand.

"No, it's nothing, I just think, big brother, you will be subjugated sooner or later." Andy said.

The eldest prince narrowed his eyes a little, and there was a gleam of vigilance in his eyes, but it disappeared after a while. The eldest prince calmed down and asked: "Then according to the fourth brother, this thing is What should I do?"

There was an aggressive posture in the eldest prince's words.

Andy paused, but shook his head avoiding the sharp edge: "The fourth brother dare not make trouble in front of the eldest brother, but the fourth brother thinks that Ange's nonsense is not unreasonable, and the father's food has always been provided by an assembly line. Responsible, safety issues may arise at any step. If the elder brother now convicts this Angehu, it is very likely that the real criminal will be let go and let him go at large before everything is revealed. Therefore, the fourth brother On this matter, I dare to ask my elder brother to investigate further before making a conclusion."

Hearing Andy's words, the eldest prince subconsciously looked at Guanshi Nan who was standing aside.

The old king's closest attendant watched this scene expressionlessly, but the eldest prince still didn't dare to ignore the existence of the old minister beside his father.

"So... what the fourth brother said is somewhat reasonable. If that's the case, then An Gehu will be taken into prison first, and we will try it slowly in the future."

Angerhu had been beaten to the point of unconsciousness, and it was obviously superfluous and impatient to interrogate him now. The eldest prince acted reasonably, and the two hidden guards beside him then dragged Angerhu down. Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but feel chills in my heart.

Especially Andy.

He can best understand his elder brother's domineering - although he still has some scruples, he dared to give orders like this just when the father of everyone present was lying here, and he had to say that he was indeed very ambitious, but Andy felt But he is not afraid or worried. Although his father, the current emperor of the Will Empire, looks terrible, it is obvious that the state of the people has not really become the "former emperor", which shows that his father may wake up at any time , but the eldest prince interrogated Angehu first at this time, instead of seeking a doctor to heal the emperor's injuries. His ambition is obvious.

However, Andy can really understand that he has such a mentality.

Not because of anything else, but because of his age.

But Andy felt that what should be said was still to say that there was no conflict of interest between him and the First Prince, this was an unspoken rule between him and the First Prince.

"Brother, have you invited the doctor?"

"I've been invited. I'm the master of the medical school, but they can't do anything about my father's illness." The eldest prince replied.

Andy nodded and retreated into the team and stopped talking. At this time, the two youngest brothers and sisters in the team stepped forward. The two brothers and sisters have not yet reached the age to really understand this royal taboo, and they don't care about the little friction between Andy and the eldest prince. They didn't see it, and they only wanted to ask about the situation of their elder brother and father when they stood up.

The eldest prince coaxed them a few words, but the two yellow-mouthed children asked if their father could still get up and dance.

The eldest prince was taken aback.

Evidently, with such a big event, the crowd forgot about the dance.

"I don't think there's any need to hold this dance, right?" said the third prince.

Andy frowned, he said too much before, he thought about it and hid in the crowd, but Miriam said blankly: "We still have to keep going, otherwise the ministers outside will definitely You have to guess wildly in your heart again, the father has become what he is now, and people outside should not be suspicious."

"Fifth Sister is right." The Eldest Prince nodded in agreement: "You can't make the ministers outside suspicious, then... Fourth Brother, I'll let you take care of the ball."

Andy nodded, but did not reject the eldest prince's arrangement.

When he turned around, he saw Miriam and the third prince standing aside. The three of them looked at each other. Miriam's eyes showed some doubts. Andy nodded to her, and walked out without saying a word. In the room, Miriam froze, but did not go out after hesitating for a moment.

The third prince beside him patted her on the shoulder.

"Go."

"I promised Ai'er." Miriam said, the corner of her mouth moved slightly, it was unclear whether she was laughing or crying: "Third brother, don't worry."

"..." The third prince fell silent.

After Andy walked out of the room, he couldn't know what happened in the room again, and he didn't want to know what kind of whimsy ideas his good brothers and sisters would have in that small room, but he just came Go or take the two youngest siblings out of the room.

Maybe a prom would suit them better than being involved in something like this...

Andy's thinking is a little lonely.

Turning his head, the outside world is still brightly lit, and there will never be such noisy days and nights inside the palace. Standing in front of the balcony door on the second floor, he took a deep breath, and finally pushed the door out.

Wang Dong was looking at the surrounding nobles boredly, but only heard Andy's voice suddenly came from above this floor.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, welcome to this royal ball in the Imperial City on this day of every month. The current time is [-]:[-] pm. I regret to inform you that His Majesty is unable to attend this ball due to his busy schedule. , so this ball will be presided over by me, Andy Kessler, and please enter the venue in an orderly manner, I hope you can have a pleasant and comfortable night here."

Wang Dong didn't think there was anything wrong with Andy's behavior at the moment.

But the nobles around him whispered a few words, and Wang Dong remembered that just now Andy told himself that he went to the room to meet his father, but now he said such words while standing on the balcony on the second floor , He frowned, and some pictures followed the discussions of the surrounding nobles in his mind.

The difference between him and the surrounding nobles is that he can determine Andy's whereabouts, but these nobles don't know anything.

But Wang Dong couldn't be sure what happened. Although he could use the power of the system to investigate the memory of the house on a large scale, it seemed too boring to do that. Anyway, he was just here for Andy's appointment. , as long as the dance is finished honestly.

Andy, who was standing on the balcony, also noticed Wang Dong's gaze looking at him. After meeting Wang Dong's gaze, he nodded slightly.

Wang Dong also nodded, indicating that he could host the ball with peace of mind. Looking back, the gossip maniac still hadn't come back from the outside, and Wang Dong could only enter the ball first.

"gentlemen."

Wang Dong was queuing in front of the crowd, but a woman's voice appeared behind him.
