Zhou Ping'an didn't explain, he just took a step back and bowed to him sincerely, saying, "Please, second brother, help me."

He stared blankly at Zhou Ping'an, the pale man remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying: "If you want to die so much, then go. I won't stop you."

Half an hour later.

In the heart of the most bustling area of the city, within the extravagant and expansive Ning Wangfu.

Zhou Ping'an and his younger brother stood silently in the hall.

"Please wait a moment, Master Zhou. I will go and wake up Prince Ning."

The steward of the manor spoke politely to the pale man.

If someone else said they wanted to meet the Prince at this late hour, they would certainly not fare well.

But the steward knew there were always a few exceptions, and Zhou was one of them.

"Thank you." The pale man politely bowed.

As soon as the steward left, he turned around and saw Zhou Ping'an looking curiously around.

"The furnishings in the palace are rather simple, not as extravagant as rumored outside." Zhou Ping'an said to the pale man beside him.

Seeing Zhou Ping'an, not only was he not nervous, but he also had the leisure to comment on the royal court. The pale man said with displeasure, "Most of the rumors circulating outside are unreliable and nothing but hearsay."

"King Ning is not someone who indulges in pleasure. These decorations, even these, were all sent by loyal subordinates who couldn't bear to see him this way."

After finishing his sentence, he added: "Prince Ning is not as terrible as you think. You could learn more about him."

Zhou Ping'an said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Second Brother, are you trying to get me to defect at the last minute"

The pale man let out a light snort and said, “What's so great about the prince The current court is already on shaky ground. Even if Zhao Xuanji was dealt with, it wouldn't change anything. The corruption of the court isn't caused by just one person like Zhao Xuanji. This system is rotten to its core. While that new policy has some merit, implementing it is too difficult. Only by tearing everything down and starting anew can we save the people.”

"Is the King of Ning the kind of ruler, in your second brother's eyes, who can tear everything down and rebuild it anew to save all living beings" Zhou Pingan asked.

“Better than that prince,” the pale man said coldly.

Zhou Ping nodded knowingly and smiled at the pale man. "Is this one of the reasons you're so devoted to him"

Before the pale man could reply, a sound of footsteps came from outside. Before the person arrived, a hearty laugh could be heard first.

"Longevity, when you meet me tonight, it's because I have important business to attend to"

The pale man's surname was Zhou, and his given name was Changshou. Zhou Changshou—that was his full name.

Zhou Ping'an followed the sound and saw a tall and burly middle-aged man striding towards him.

He was wearing only a white nightshirt, with a plain robe over it.

Although it was also made of silk, it was clearly many years old and the color had faded considerably.

Such clothes would not even be worn by officials of some standing in the capital city.

Such plain attire appeared on Ning Wang, one of the most powerful feudal lords in the land.

Zhou Ping'an's first impression of him wasn't that he was a powerful prince, but rather a jovial and dashing hero from the Jianghu.

"It was the longevity that disturbed the Prince." Zhou Chang bowed to King Ning, then looked at Zhou Ping'an beside him and said to King Ning, "It's really because an old friend has come to the capital and insists on seeing the Prince."hen Ting nodded and said, “Yes.”“The emperor was the fourth son of the late emperor, while Wen Wang was the seventh. During the late emperor’s lifetime, he favored Wen Wang especially. Of his nine son...
