Zoo

The imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, the results of the paternity test are out."

Emperor Nicholas took the thin piece of paper from the palace steward. A few minutes later, he stood up and looked at the person under the throne, narrowing his eyes: "Who is your mother?"

Heige had changed into a rather formal outfit at the urging of the palace servants. He first clasped his fists, then hurriedly changed to a bow under the chief steward's frowning and replied, "I don't know who she is to you."

There was silence in the hall.

Heige was a little panicked, and beads of sweat gradually wet the back of his shirt.

Isn’t this a perfect and pleasing answer?

How else could he answer?

Is it possible to tell the truth?

He bet that if the emperor really knew that he was the son of a female general, he would first put him in a wok, fry him from head to toe, and then hang him upside down from the ceiling and beat and spit on him!

Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard a laugh, and then heard the man in high position say, "Then tell me, how did you know that you are my son, and why did you come all the way to find me?"

Heige: “…”

Great! It turns out the pit is here, and I dug it myself.

But, does Cheap Dad think he has no more tricks up his sleeve?

Heige closed his eyes with a fearless attitude, unzipped his shirt, and took out a shiny golden necklace.

The moment he took it out, he felt as if the air around him was stagnant.

He took one last look at the necklace and felt regretful. He had bought it at a street stall when he entered the city gate. He thought it was very beautiful and wanted to send it to Luo Chen. He didn't expect that he would lose it so soon.

I'm sorry, sister Luo Tan...

He pulled out the necklace completely and showed it to everyone, saying in a loud voice, "Three days ago, I found this necklace thirty centimeters below my ancestral land. It's obviously not an ordinary necklace. I had a feeling it was related to the palace, so I came here to look for it."

Emperor Nicholas remained silent as he looked at the apparently "unusual" necklace.

In terms of time, it was produced no more than a month ago; in terms of material and workmanship, it is worth five dollars. Those who bought it were obviously ripped off.

Very good, judging from his foolish state, we can tell that this son is genuine, and he is truly of the same lineage as his mother.

His son was still looking at him expectantly, with stars in his eyes.

For the first time, Nicholas said in such a displeased tone: "This is indeed the necklace I left behind by your mother... Simba, find a place for the eldest prince to live."

The steward replied, "Yes."

"Wait, Dad... No, Father... No, King Father, I have one more thing to say. During these years in the slums, I felt that the people there had a very hard life. The capital planet had cinemas, zoos, and libraries... but the slums had nothing."

Nicholas: "Okay, okay, I'll ask them to make all the arrangements."

Brother Hei didn't expect that this could be accomplished so easily, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Luo Tan is truly a god!

.

In the emperor's bedroom, Simba, the butler, held Nicholas's shoulders and asked softly, "Your Majesty, that necklace clearly...how did you confirm the eldest prince's identity?"

Nicholas: "...Actually I didn't lose my memory at that time."

The manager was surprised and asked, "Why don't you take that woman back?"

Nicholas' back was filled with sadness, and the sadness in his head turned into one sentence -

If everyone in the world knew that I was treated like this and that by a female general from the enemy, and even fell in love with her, and in the end I begged her to go with me but was rejected, where would I put my wise and brave face?

He still remembers the last scene before they parted.

"Nicholas, you must have enjoyed the time I imprisoned you, right?"

"No, I want to ask you..."

"Then why are you still acting like a hesitant little girl here? Since we don't owe each other anything, let's just go our separate ways. I told you the first time I met you not to have any expectations of me. You're not going to be born in Stockholm, are you?"

He left in grief, but he didn't expect to receive the news of her death a few years later.

How could he explain this melodramatic and tragic love story to the white-haired butler?

He had never told anyone about this past event. It was the top secret in his life and he wanted to take it to the grave!

Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, the chief steward stopped asking and continued to sigh, "I wonder if His Royal Highness Wang Chu would be dissatisfied if he knew about this."

"Hmm?" Nicholas came back to his senses: "Andre is very gentle and polite. He won't say anything."

Manager: “I hope so.”

No matter how gentle and respectful he is, wouldn't he be frightened if he suddenly became the second prince from the eldest prince?

"But you did remind me of one thing..." Nicholas thought thoughtfully: "The necklace is just an excuse for that kid to talk nonsense, but how did he know his identity? You have to look into this for me."

.

Inside a palace room.

Heige turned left and right, picking up and putting down the exquisite antiques on the table, and lifting and putting down the exquisite tapestry on the wall. He couldn't believe it and said, "These... are all for me?"

The servant who led the way nodded. He thought that this prince from the slums would cover all these treasures in his quilt, hold them while sleeping, and not let anyone see them. However, the next second -

He saw the eldest prince pointing his fingers at soldiers: "This, this, and that! Pack them all for me!"

After the servant packed the things, he thought they would be delivered to the eldest prince's pillow. However, the eldest prince grabbed a pen and wrote on a piece of white paper for a long time, then handed it to him with satisfaction: "This is the address, send it by mail!"

servant:???

.

A few days later, Luo Chen received a package at his doorstep, which was said to be delivered by royal courier.

Before opening the package, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart -

Could it be that Brother Hei failed and sent his head to her?

She quickly closed her eyes, leaving only a tiny gap, and then opened the package with a fearless attitude. Immediately, she was almost blinded by a golden light.

【Wow! 】

Not far away, Grandma Song, who was holding her little granddaughter, was almost frightened to the point of spraining her waist. She listened attentively for a long time without daring to move, but did not hear Luo Tan say the next word, so she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Tan just looked up from Brother Hei's gift, which was extremely beautiful, and happened to see Grandma Song. He smiled and greeted her, "Where are you going?"

Song Qing: "As for me, I plan to take my granddaughter to see the newly opened zoo."

【Zoo?】 Luo Tan pricked up his ears.

"Yes, our Chishui City is about to undergo a major renovation. It is said that the government will also build a library and a cinema here. The zoo did exist before, but it was abandoned, so it was renovated in the next two days."

Seeing that Luo Tan hadn't said anything for a long time, Grandma Song felt uneasy. "What's the matter, zoo? Is there any problem?"

[Will there be... in the zoo?]

Song Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and the little granddaughter in her arms burst into tears because of her sudden increase in strength.

Yes, what?

Song Qing asked tremblingly: "Is there a monster?"

"Ah? What monster?" Luo Tan looked at her in confusion.

"Then you..." Song Qing was so anxious that she wanted to know what Luo Tan was thinking just now, but she couldn't ask her directly, so she was in a dilemma.

Luo Tan looked innocent: "I was wondering if there is a job suitable for me there?"

She spread her hands and said, "The newly opened zoo should be very short of people, right?"

Half an hour later, Luo Tan got off the suspended train and immediately saw the six big characters on the sign at the zoo's entrance: "Chishui City Zoo."

Just as she was about to go in, she heard the familiar voice of Xiao Ai calling her. The next second, she saw a red dot jumping at the coordinates of the zoo on the system map.

No way, again?
