Chapter 515 Haunted is the way to go
Su Dingyu was a little puzzled, as the Prime Minister Gu's residence had long been reduced to ruins.
Bai Ming nodded.
"I also think that Her Majesty should be at the Gu residence."
Although the Prime Minister Gu's residence was reduced to ruins in that upheaval.
However, there have been rumors in the capital over the years that there are ghosts in the Gu family mansion.
Moreover, Prime Minister Gu and Madam Gu, who were the Empress's biological parents, both passed away there. The Empress must have some lingering attachment to that place.
Ning Bao nodded in strong agreement.
"What the eldest brother said is right. Since the Empress has attachments to the Gu family, it is very likely that she is there."
"In that case, let's go take a look."
.................
The Gu residence was large and dilapidated. Fortunately, they were right this time. Not only was the Empress's remnant soul here, but many of the deceased souls of the Gu family were also here.
Now that they've encountered this situation, Ningbao can't just sit idly by.
She simply collected all the spirits, recited a rite of passage, and sent them directly to be reincarnated.
But she took the Empress's soul back with her.
"Second Prince, please keep the Empress's soul with me for now."
"I will inform you once she has recovered. The Empress cannot be reincarnated because her wish remains unfulfilled, and she still has much to say to you."
The second prince gazed longingly at the talisman in Ningbao's hand, as if he were looking at his own mother.
"Ningbao, if Mother goes to be reincarnated, will I never see her again?"
Or will my mother no longer be my mother in the future?
"Can't I keep Mother by my side forever?"
Ning Bao shook her head.
"cannot.
"If you remain in the mortal realm, Your Majesty will only be reduced to ashes and dust."
After hearing Ning Bao's words, the Second Prince no longer dared to have any thoughts about letting the Empress's soul remain in the mortal world.
...................
The day of the palace banquet was fast approaching, and Consort Liu was hosting a banquet for the female relatives of various families.
Even though Zhou Chengxing was worried about Su Jingshu and Ning Bao entering the palace, he couldn't go with them.
When the appointed time arrived, the women from each household, dressed in their finest attire, entered the palace gates.
This is the second time Ning Bao has dressed so formally; the first time was a couple of days ago when she went to the palace with Zhou Chengxing and Su Jingshu.
Although this time it wasn't as grand as that day, it was still the attire and makeup befitting a princess.
Wearing a formal dress, Ning Bao became dignified, and with Leng Xue's skillful styling, Ning Bao looked both glamorous and charming.
The palace has several adult princes, including the second prince born to the empress, the third prince born to Consort Liu, the fourth prince born to Consort Jing, and the fifth prince born to Consort Chen. None of them have married a principal wife and they are all quite old.
The youngest prince, the fifth prince, is already 19 years old.
Now, every banquet in the palace is a good opportunity for the daughters of various families to show off.
Marrying into the royal family was the dream of most noble ladies, but among the princes, many women also wanted to marry him.
There were also women who did not want to marry him.
The one they all really want to marry is definitely the second prince, whose maternal family has the most power and who is the most popular candidate for the crown prince position.
After all, the second prince has the highest chance of becoming the crown prince, and marrying the crown prince could lead to her becoming the empress or a noble consort, bringing glory to the entire family.
The one least wanted to marry was none other than the Second Prince. Everyone knew that the Second Prince had been imprisoned for many years and had been indulging in revelry day and night, which had long since ruined his health.
