Ning Hong sat in the chair, utterly dejected, lost in thought.
His gaze silently shifted downwards, and he let out a soft sigh.
"Your Excellency, the Nine Thousand Years Old?"
The little eunuch at the door swallowed hard and cautiously called out.
"Um?"
"The meal is ready. Would you like to eat now?"
"Let's prepare the meal."
He spoke softly, and the little eunuch immediately instructed the other little eunuchs behind him, who came in one after another carrying in exquisitely prepared food.
They gently placed the food on the table and then quietly withdrew.
Ning Hong sighed again.
Honestly, if I weren't a eunuch in this body, life would be so enjoyable, wouldn't it?
"Your Excellency, Lord Zhao has reached a conclusion. Would you like to go and take a look?"
About half a cup of tea later, someone called softly from the doorway.
"I'll go this afternoon."
"Yes," the man replied respectfully, bowing slightly.
"I need to rest for a while, don't bother me."
Ning Hong then stepped forward and locked the door.
The owner of this body was inherently capricious and his moods were unpredictable.
He looked at himself in the glass mirror.
With red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful face, his crimson brocade robe accentuated his exquisite features. Even his own appearance seemed so stunning and captivating.
He puffed out his cheeks. "0321, didn't you say you wouldn't turn me into a woman? Because you're the Brother System."
"Correction: Eunuchs are not women."
The system's voice carried a hint of sympathy.
"Don't worry, look, you were made to be the Ninth Prince in this world, and you were spared the pain of castration."
"Then I should thank you?"
Damn it, if he had transmigrated before being castrated, he would never have done such a thing, even if it meant death.
He slumped onto the bed, listlessly, and began to accept the plot.
This story tells the tale of a prince's growth. Prince Zhao Qingqi was naturally unruly and loved to travel outside the palace. He often neglected matters of state, allowing treacherous officials to dominate the court.
The entire country was in dire straits.
Later, he was dismissed by the powerful minister and became a commoner. With the help of the time-traveling heroine, he completely changed himself, gradually eliminated the minister, and regained power. The time-traveling heroine became the empress.
The Nine Thousand Years Old was beheaded at the entrance of the market.
The entire story revolves around the love story between the time-traveling woman and the young prince.
The plan to seize power seems to have been obtained through the protagonist's halo.
As for the original body, it is Ning Hongze, the Nine Thousand Year Old in the story.
Ning Hongze's family was known for its loyalty and bravery, a remarkable figure in a dynasty whose legacy is virtually untraceable in history.
Almost all the men in his family made great contributions to Dayin.
Their prestige was so high that even in remote areas, people knew of the Ning family's existence but were unaware of the Great Yin Emperor.
It can be said that as long as the Ning family raises their arms and shouts, it would be an easy thing to rebel, and naturally many people would follow them.
However, one cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed. Emperor Zhao Lin of Dayin had long regarded the Ning family as a thorn in his side and wished he could uproot them all.
Later, the opportunity came.
The Ning family's wife was reported by the princess for treason against the Ning family.
Before the matter was fully investigated, Zhao Lin ordered everyone to be imprisoned. Before the trial could conclude, the once-tough men of the Ning family all committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment.
The Ning family's military power also fell into Princess Shangyin's hands.
However, they were unaware that the Ning family had another son who, on a whim, went on a study trip and had not returned.
Upon hearing this, he coughed up blood and remained unconscious for three days and three nights.
After waking up, she changed her appearance and entered the palace.
He wanted to find out why his sister-in-law accused their family of treason and why she wanted to kill them all.
Ning Hong spent a difficult period in the palace.
The young eunuch who had just entered the palace was so beautiful.
Ning Hong, who was often bullied, made a record of all those people.
He endured hardship and took one step at a time, eventually becoming the powerful and influential Ninth Prince.
Its influence extends throughout the entire court.
As for those who offended him, he dealt with them all.
Including Princess Shangyin.
He also found a pretext to send her away for a political marriage.
Hearing that Princess Shang was still pregnant when he left, but those people refused to acknowledge it, he could only pretend that nothing had happened.
After taking a packet of safflower, she completely lost the possibility of having children.
People wouldn't tolerate a queen who wasn't virginal and couldn't bear children for long.
Princess Shang died two years after her marriage.
She probably thought of that heartless man until her death, hoping he would come looking for her. For him, she even betrayed her own husband's family.
Unfortunately, that person was just using her. Now that they had achieved their goal, they were no longer willing to ruin their family for an outsider.
As for children, he has quite a few.
However, this family didn't end up in a good situation either.
In the end, they were all sent to the execution ground by Ning Hongze.
They didn't even spare their young children and relatives.
Ning Hong overturned the entire Zhao family's empire, leaving them in dire straits.
Since the Zhao family cannot tolerate the Ning family, then let the entire Zhao empire be buried with them.
Unfortunately, Ning Hong lost in the end.
It wasn't that I lost to that time-traveling woman.
He lost because of his own body and his younger brother.
He only discovered later that the Ning family actually had a younger brother still alive. His brother, Ning Zhiyuan, was frail and thin, and the Ning family had always raised him in a temple, never mentioning him to anyone.
When the Ning family met with disaster, Ning Zhiyuan was already ten years old. Although he didn't know the details, he had heard about it.
The younger brother was raised to be pampered and privileged by his adoptive parents, and he even fell in love with the time-traveling woman.
For the sake of this time-traveling woman, she even sided with Zhao Qingqi.
He ultimately died trying to save the time-traveling woman.
One of the tasks is to protect this younger brother, hoping that he can carry on the Ning family line.
Uh—even with something like this, you still want to protect your brother?
The second mission is to protect this country and prevent it from becoming a place of devastation and death.
Holy crap, you're the one who wanted to destroy this country, and now you want to save it?
This person is far too contradictory.
"This man caused immense suffering and misery to the entire country in his past life. Although the country has wronged him, the people have not wronged him."
That's why he made this wish, hoping that the country could be at peace.
"Sigh, it's the result of being brainwashed since childhood." From this wish, one can see that the Ning family is wholeheartedly devoted to the country. Otherwise, Ning Hong wouldn't be so sad and heartbroken after overthrowing the entire country.
