"If you don't like this kind of occasion, then don't come again. Our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion doesn't need to cater to other people's opinions."
Ning Bao shook her head.
"Dad, it's okay. Ningbao doesn't dislike it, she's just a little unaccustomed to it."
I just never imagined that the seemingly magnificent palace would be filled with ghosts.
If I told you that the palace is almost overrun with ghosts, would you not believe me?
"Thank goodness you can't see it. Everyone standing, sitting, and lying in that palace is a spirit. For a moment, I wanted to grant them the ability to see into the spirit world."
Zhou Chengxing felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Ning Bao's words.
"No wonder I always felt the palace was too gloomy when I entered it; there were too many wronged souls."
From now on, you and your mother should go to banquets less often if you don't have to, and try to decline them if possible.
Staying in a place with such heavy yin energy for too long is bad for your health.
Suddenly remembering something, Ning Bao's expression turned serious.
"Father, I discovered an aura of death about the Emperor today..."
This news greatly surprised Zhou Chengxing.
"Ningbao, you mean....................."
Even knowing that they were currently in a moving carriage and the chances of others hearing their conversation were zero, Zhou Chengxing still didn't directly ask about his thoughts.
He merely exchanged a glance with Ning Bao.....................
Ning Bao nodded.
Yes, less than a year.
If needed, I can help him extend it a bit....
Zhou Chengxing shook his head.
"That's not necessary. If he's a wise ruler and lives a long life, we can still count on him to benefit mankind."
But let's just let this inaction go and let things take their natural course.
Although time is a bit tight, it's still not too late.
My wife originally wanted to spend more time with you and our daughter, but it seems I might not have the time now.
But it doesn't matter, it'll only be a year. Once things settle down in a year, I'll abdicate and let Cheng'er become the Prince of Zhenbei.
With Cheng'er and Xin'er here, I can peacefully accompany you and Ningbao back to Chuyun Village to live.
Su Jingshu sighed helplessly.
"Husband, have you thought this through? Do we really want to get involved in this mess?"
Zhou Chengxing stared intently at Su Jingshu.
"This matter is no longer something we can simply back out of. Everyone has witnessed the relationship between the Gu family of Beijing and our Zhou family in the past."
The Liu family, in particular, hates us to the core. If they gain power, we will not have a good end either.
So...we have no way out now, we can only go all out...
Ning Bao looked at Zhou Chengxing with a somewhat serious expression, but she didn't say anything.
After returning to his residence, Zhou Chengxing got busy. He wrote several letters and sent them all out using Ning Bao's gyrfalcon.
Ningbao also got busy. She had originally planned to buy a courtyard and a estate as soon as possible so that she could bring her grandparents over sooner.
But when she thought of the emperor's lifespan, she gave up the idea, for the succession to the throne has always been a bloodbath.
She was worried that someone might take their anger out on them, so Ningbao thought it would be better to wait until everything settled down before bringing them over.
Having lived together for so many years, Ningbao knows her family quite well.
