After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Chapter 522 Getting ready to leave

Wen Renye had no doubts, he did not think Zhong Ning dared to violate the oath of heaven.

It's only been two days.

We've waited for so long, a few days won't make a difference.

Thinking of this, Wen Renye said coldly: "I hope Your Highness will keep your promise. Otherwise, even if it means risking my life, I will fight you to the death!"

Zhong Ning's expression remained unchanged as she simply said, "Of course, since I promised you, I will not break my promise."

"Two days later, Mount Futu, the summit?"

"A word is settled!"

After saying this, Wenren Ye left reluctantly.

Zhong Ning ordered someone to inform Fang Ping, Zhang Wanting and Lu Xingzhou that they should gather at the Princess's Mansion tomorrow, and then they could set off together to the Futu Mountains.

Since Futu Mountain is far away, Zhong Ning does not intend to affect other people. It is best to set off at night. It will take half a day to arrive. Excluding rest, it will take about two days to arrive here!

The reason why Zhong Ning deliberately delayed for two days was actually because she had some important things to do and had not met some people she wanted to meet.

However, they haven't seen each other for a whole year, so I think it's time for them to let it go.

Even if I have left, it will no longer have any impact on them.

Zhong Ning closed his eyes and then went straight into the palace. He handed over all the secret guards he currently had to Emperor Yong and told him that these secret guards could form a separate Jinyiwei, which would be responsible for supervising the political achievements of officials in various places.

Although the imperial court has Black Dragon Guards, their number is not large. They are only capable of monitoring a capital or several large cities.

But if Dayong wants to unify the world, the number of secret guards needed must be sufficient.

There is also a list of seven seventh-grade warriors, and their current locations. Everything they do is beneficial to Dayong.

Although he comes from the underworld, he has made great contributions to the country after all. If he can return one day, I hope Emperor Yong will use him!

There is a treasure hidden in the secret room under the princess's mansion, including about 100,000 taels of gold and some antiques. These are the property she got from Cui Shi of Qinghe. If Emperor Yong needs money one day, he can take it himself.

Of course, there is more to it than that. Before returning to Beijing, Zhong Ning generously allocated a large sum of funds to the secret guard organization, asking them to acquire some assets in various places for their future living needs.

This is to avoid the day when I don’t want to work for the court and lose my source of livelihood.

Naturally, these things could not be told to Emperor Yong. Zhong Ning only told him the part she left for Emperor Yong, which was hidden in the dark room of the princess's mansion.

Zhong Ning said all this without blushing or beating her heart. Emperor Yong was already dumbfounded. His daughter looked like she was leaving a last will and testament. Why was that?

"Zhaohua..." Emperor Yong spoke a little uneasily, but Zhong Ning interrupted him directly and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. There were two pills in the porcelain bottle, which were the Forgetfulness Pills.

"Father, I have come here and have incurred many romantic debts. The ones I feel the most sorry for are Qi Yu, Gu Mingzhe, and Shen Yan."

"Gu Mingzhe, your son will tell Prime Minister Gu to keep these two forgetfulness pills. If Qi Yu and Shen Yan act too aggressively when they return to the court, please save their lives and make them forget about this cold-hearted and unfaithful son of yours!"

"Of course, this may be my own wishful thinking, but this medicine is better than nothing!"

"Also, please pay more attention to their marriage, Father!"

"Zhaohua...what's wrong with you?" Emperor Yong's anxiety grew heavier. "Are you, are you going back to the fairyland..."

Zhong Ning: ???

"It's not the fairyland. The world I live in is a modern world with advanced technology. Every world is just a speck of dust in the universe. There are three thousand worlds, and I am only one of them!"

"You mean to say that the three thousand worlds mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures are actually not true?"

Zhong Ning nodded slightly and replied, "Perhaps. At present, I have only seen two worlds. I think there are countless small worlds in this chaos, all rotating freely in the long river of time!"

Emperor Yong was silent for a moment. He was a person who studied Buddhist scriptures intensively, so he naturally knew the concept of the Three Thousand Worlds. However, when he saw the visitor from another world with his own eyes, he could hardly believe it.

"You said you came from one of the three thousand worlds, and that your world is a technologically advanced modern world. So, what kind of world is the modern world?"

"Technological advancement refers to everything currently being studied by the Academy of Sciences. The modern world, to be more precise, refers to what society will look like a thousand years from now."

"Father, many things here are difficult to explain. Don't overthink it. Just remember, if we continue to operate according to the current fundamentals, Dayong will surely unify the world one day!"

When Zhong Ning said this, he knelt on the ground and saluted solemnly.

First, she thanked Emperor Yong for his care and tolerance for her during this period; second, she thanked Emperor Yong for his full support for her reforms and for clearing the obstacles behind her; third, she thanked Emperor Yong for giving her the highest honor and trust.

After three bows, Zhong Ning stood up and left!

Emperor Yong sat where he was, watching her figure gradually disappear among the long steps. After a long while, Emperor Yong suddenly stood up and chased after the figure: "Zhaohua, Zhaohua..."

Su Qi heard the voice and hurried forward to comfort him, "Your Majesty, the princess is tired... She probably wants to go back home to rest. If you want to see her, just summon her to the palace tomorrow!"

Tired, yes, she was tired.

There was sadness in Emperor Yong's eyes. She was just a girl, who had just turned seventeen this year, but she had to work hard for the Murong family's kingdom!

It was because he, the emperor, was incompetent that his daughter had to work so hard.

She was tired, so she wanted to go back.

That must be it!

Emperor Yong stood there in a daze, his eyes slightly red. After a long moment, he sighed heavily and said, "Forget it..."

In the Gu Mansion.

Zhong Ning also handed a forgetfulness pill and an envelope to Gu Xiang.

"This elixir is very effective and has absolutely no side effects. It will only make you forget your past. Of course, if Master Gu has already let it go, this elixir will naturally be useless!"

"And this..." Zhong Ning pushed the envelope towards Minister Gu. "This is from a search of the Kyoto ladies by my secret guards. We've selected three beautiful, well-mannered, dignified, and elegant young ladies who have a good impression of Mr. Gu. Minister Gu, please have someone examine them a few more and choose a virtuous wife for him!"

Gu Xiang:........

Gu Xiang looked at Zhong Ning, who had arranged everything for his son as if he were making arrangements for his funeral, and felt inexplicably complicated in his heart.

Zhong Ning didn't give him much time to react. After making the arrangements, he left.

Gu Xiang put all of this away and just sighed silently.

Although the princess had never said it explicitly, he had already guessed from Fang Ping that the so-called soul wandering in another world was actually where they came from.

Seeing that they did not do anything harmful to Dayong, he just let them do what they wanted.

It's just a pity for my eldest son, who is in Dingyuan and probably won't even be able to see Princess Zhaohua for the last time.
