The woman straightened her back and said, "Why can't Ai's family sleep well? The throne was passed on to my son by the first emperor's imperial decree. On the contrary, it is you, I am afraid that you will soon sleep forever."

"Ning Yanzhi" ignored her, turned around and sat in the corner of the cell.

The woman turned around by herself, and walked away bored.

Yan Dingnan was still looking around at the doors, windows, and stone bricks without giving up.

But everything is seamless, and there is no loophole to exploit.

He tried the firmness of the prison door and the hardness of the lock, and he sat next to Ning Yanzhi after he made some calculations.

It was winter at this time, and the prison was shady and cool, but there were still bedding.

He reached out and pulled the quilt over, wrapped it around Ning Yanzhi's body, and said softly, "It's cold here, my lord, please keep warm."

"Ning Yanzhi" didn't speak.

But the prince in the state of wandering spirit leaned forward and hugged Yan Dingnan vainly, fearing that he would catch the cold.

What can a wandering soul do?

Ning Yanzhi looked at Yan Dingnan's face, but he hated himself.

After about ten days in prison, a jailer finally delivered a sumptuous dinner.

The jailer's eyes and brows were full of sarcasm and disdain, he deliberately kicked the food in front of Ning Yanzhi, and said mockingly: "His Royal Highness King An has been on the road three days ago, a glass of poisoned wine will kill you. But rest assured, Your Highness King Jing, there is no poison in your food."

"Ning Yanzhi" ignored him, but Yan Dingnan suddenly asked: "What about Princess An?"

The jailer spread his hands and said, "What else can we do? Let's go together."

"Prince Jing was accompanied by Concubine Jing when he left, so it must not be too miserable." The jailer showed an obscene smile, and his eyes turned around Yan Dingnan, cold and sticky.

Yan Dingnan pursed his lips and stopped talking.

A meal is a hearty one, but neither of them have the heart to eat it.

Yan Dingnan persuaded "Ning Yanzhi" to eat a few mouthfuls, and after he was full, he unconsciously fell into a trance.

"Ning Yanzhi" asked suddenly: "Do you blame me?"

Yan Dingnan shook his head.

"Ning Yanzhi" suddenly laughed, and said while laughing: "In the next life, you will not be born in the emperor's family."

Yan Dingnan didn't know how to persuade him, and he wasn't used to getting close to him, so he didn't speak.

That night, it was very cold.

He destroyed the lock with his internal force, and fled with Ning Yanzhi.

"When you get out of the capital and reach a forest, you can just run west, and someone will come to meet you." When he was about to reach the forest, Yan Dingnan suddenly said to him: "He will send you back to the northwest, the generals in the northwest They are all willing to follow you, and then you will use the Northwest as your basis and contact the writers in the south of the Yangtze River, and someone will help you ascend to the throne of God."

Ning Yanzhi suddenly had a premonition - one point at this moment, and farewell forever.

But he didn't know it at the time, so he still had the leisure to ask, "What about you?"

"I'll go and lure the pursuers away. When I get back to the palace, I'll show the prince a smile again."

Ning Yanzhi was suddenly sad, he followed him in the dark woods, panicked, only remembering to keep heading west, not even daring to turn his head.

But Yan Dingnan's death scenes kept replaying in front of his eyes.

He wanted to go back and take a look, one last look.

Look at that idiot who gave his life for him, and see if he can be saved.

But not.

He could only follow himself, running in this forest, using all his strength.

Ning Yanzhi suddenly fell down.

He stood up confusedly, touched his face, but couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears.

Ning Yanzhi was very sad, he felt that he had forgotten something, but it seemed like he hadn't forgotten anything.

He is Ning Yanzhi, but not Ning Yanzhi.

He supported the tree on one side, and suddenly burst into tears.

How could it be possible not to know that Yan Dingnan and Ben, who stayed there to attract pursuers, were dead ends.

How could he not know that Yan Dingnan saved his life by changing his life for another.

How could he not know that this farewell is a farewell forever.

But he left anyway, without saying a word.

Ning Yanzhi wiped away the tears on his face with his dirt-covered sleeve, and ran out fiercely.

all the way west...

He didn't know whether what Yan Dingnan said was true or not, and whether the people waiting in the west were good or evil.

But he still wanted to run west.

Because he was already homeless, because he was no longer a noble prince.

Because he no longer has a second Yan Dingnan.

When the sky was a little pale, Ning Yanzhi finally saw the person waiting for him.

It was a very wretched-looking person, short in stature, with a long pointed face and long and thin eyes, who looked a bit like a fox.

Seeing Ning Yanzhi in a state of distress, he was obviously taken aback, and asked, "Where's Ding Nan?"

Ning Yanzhi only felt cold all over, not only the body was cold, the surroundings were cold, but also the cold came from the bottom of his heart.

From now on, there is no one in the world who is willing to treat him well at all costs.

Empress Hui left, Emperor Yanqing left, and Ning Yezhi also left.

Since then, his heart has been empty, and the cold wind is pouring into it openly and without any cover, but no one can fill the gap and warm his tired heart.

"He... went to distract the pursuers." Ning Yanzhi said.

The young man with a fox face was silent for a moment before he said: "His Royal Highness, you entered Beijing with Ding Nan [-] days ago. Ding Nan took time to meet me and said that this trip is difficult and full of dangers. I hope I can wait here. If I know that you are healthy, I can leave on my own, and if you die in an accident, I can also leave on my own."

"But if you can come out alive, I hope I can send you back to the Northwest fiefdom, unite with the generals, unite with several advisers in the south of the Yangtze River, and regain the throne to ensure safety."

Ning Yanzhi's body was covered in mud, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were messy and embarrassing.

But he suddenly stood up straight and said, "Okay."

The man bowed to him and saluted, and said: "Your Highness is able to think clearly, it is worthwhile to waste Ding Nan's painstaking efforts."

Ning Yanzhi stood up straight, but his eyes were empty.

The two walked for a while, and Ning Yanzhi suddenly said, "Can I stay for another day?"

The man was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, I'll go find out about Dingnan."

He spent a hundred taels of silver to learn about Yan Dingnan's news from Feigelou——chaotic arrows pierced his heart, and he died without a whole body.

The fox-faced man watched as Ning Yanzhi suddenly fell silent.

But the hostility on his body is getting heavier and heavier.

The man didn't make a sound, Ning Yanzhi gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is it buried?"

Deadly quiet.

After a long time, the man said: "There is no place to bury him."

Ning Yanzhi immediately understood.

His eyes gradually turned red, and his whole body looked like an enraged beast.

The man hastily stopped him, and said very quickly: "Ding Nan once said before entering Beijing, no matter what happens, don't worry about him, as long as you can succeed, he..."

"How is he?" Ning Yanzhi asked back, "He is like this now!! What can I do?? I can't even collect his body!!"

The man shut up.

Ning Yanzhi was arguing and arguing, suddenly trembling and squatting down, silently repeating the last sentence——

I can't even collect his body.

The remaining dissatisfaction in the man's eyes turned into pity, and he stopped talking.

Since that day, Ning Yanzhi has become much quieter.

Or use the word silence, which is more appropriate.

He went to the northwest with that man, contacted General Qin Rantai, and persuaded him to follow him.

He exchanged letters with Wen Hongwen and learned about the Wen family's past.

He even knew that Yan Dingnan grew up in Tao's parents, Tao Wuya was his elder brother, and Gu Yaolin who came to know the news was also his elder brother.

The Tao family tried their best to help him, and notified him of all the inside news of Feigelou without any money.

All this is because of Yan Dingnan.

In the dead of night, Ning Yanzhi suddenly found it ridiculous.

The one who betrayed him was none other than the prince who was beside Emperor Yanqing.

Although he said a word, he saved the prince, but he couldn't resist the imperial concubine's lure and coercion.

But it was Li Luoran who tipped off the news in the palace.

He married his side concubine, Li Luoran, who had been in the door for more than a year.

At the beginning Deng Yang was beaten by hooligans in Chang'an City and robbed his finances, and almost died. It was Li Luoran who saved him.

After Li Luoran rescued him, Deng Yangzhi came to the palace, hoping to seek justice.

Ning Yanzhi wasn't the corrupt officials who would eat fish and meat with their corpses. Naturally, he punished officials big and small in his fief with great fanfare. It was precisely because of these that some officials who were forced to buy murder wanted to kill him.

It was also thanks to Yan Dingnan following him that the Jianghu man did not succeed.

Look, it's Yan Dingnan again.

He gave Yan Dingnan the corresponding status and respect, but most of the time he refused to have a proper word with Yan Dingnan.

Although Yan Dingnan had a cold face towards him...but he would still protect him and prevent him from getting hurt.

Ning Yanzhi really wanted to slap himself.

He should have kept his eyes open.

It's scary, but even when he opened his eyes, he couldn't see clearly.

He has to wait until the reality really slaps him before he can understand the sincerity.

The moonlight is clear and cold, and the stars are sparse.

The room was dull and dark too.

Ning Yanzhi turned over and thought of Li Luoran again.

At that time, Deng Yangzhi had never made any achievements in the court, and he was still very afraid of his father, and he didn't dare to directly say things like proposing marriage beyond his parents.

If he left money for Li Luoran, I'm afraid it won't fall into her hands in the end. After all, her aunt is also a snobbish person who cares about money and disregards family affection.

But if he doesn't keep any money, Li Luoran will be betrothed to marry someone she doesn't know at all.

As a result, Deng Yang could only ask Ning Yan to take care of him.

Ning Yanzhi brought Li Luoran into the palace, gave her a job, and paid her a monthly salary.

Unexpectedly, within two months, Li Luoran's aunt was clamoring to marry her off in exchange for the bride price.

Ning Yanzhi stopped him, but was told by the naughty woman that he wanted to rob the women of the people and that he was not a good person.

A group of people around couldn't tell right from wrong, and naturally stood on the side of Aunt Li, who was also a commoner.

Even though Ning Yanzhi at that time had a bad temper, he never ordered anyone to be killed, and he didn't have the princely palace that he should have at all.

Being forced to be annoyed, and hearing that aunt of the Li family said that she had tarnished Li Luoran's innocence, but Li Luoran was just crying, so he simply tossed his sleeves and married as soon as he said it.

Just like that, Li Luoran was carried into the palace.

But it was not easy to explain this to Yan Dingnan, and at the time he thought it was unnecessary to explain to Yan Dingnan - he had never stayed at Li Luoran's place.

After the incident happened, he wrote a letter to Deng Yangzhuo, cryptically mentioning the matter, but he did not receive a reply. After such a long time, Deng Yangzhuo had never been to the Northwest again, and he gradually forgot this matter.

But Li Luoran thought about it all by himself, and was hooked up by the imperial concubine's people easily, and rebelled.

Ning Yanzhi thought over and over again about the decisions he had made in the past two years, and realized that he had made too many mistakes.

He is the pampered second prince, he doesn't have to worry about anything, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Emperor Yanqing would laugh off any bad words he said, treating him as a child.

If you can say something useful, there will be countless people bragging about it.

The intelligence he was proud of was crushed to pieces in front of the sophistication of the world.

Ning Yan's thoughts——

"It would be great if I could do it all over again."

If he did it all over again, he would definitely treat Yan Dingnan well.

Don't let him suffer any more.

Let him live a long life and be free from worries for the rest of his life.
