"What was expected is very accurate!" Luo Ning showed a smiley expression, "It seems that the princess guessed very accurately in this matter. If you hadn't said that before, she wouldn't have died!"

Luo Ning returned to the capital overnight. When he went to the royal palace to report, not only Quan Shenglan, but also Gu Jinzhi could not show any surprise. Luo Ning couldn't help but be shocked by the royal family's affection. After returning to the mansion, he chatted with Sheng Xiao for a long time.

Sheng Xiao patrols the streets for a day and really doesn't have the energy to talk to Luo Ning, so he responds "Yeah, ah" and Luo Ning feels it's boring, so he doesn't say anything. When Sheng Xiao falls asleep, he goes to the palace and finds the tree he has been sleeping for many years, and leans on drinking.

It was late at night, and it was probably because of his wine smell that woke Gu Jinzhi up. He walked under the tree at some point: "Why, can't you find a tree in Shengxiao Mansion to drink?"

Luo Ning just smiled: "I just like your tree!"

Gu Jinzhi jumped lightly, then jumped onto the treetops and sat down in front of Luo Ning: "What's wrong?"

"Prince, why did Lingyao escape? Didn't she want to be rich and prosperous? We gave it to her, why did she still want to run? She could live happily, and then choose this road without looking back?" Luo Ning couldn't figure it out, and looked at the wine pot in her hand in a daze.

"Because you are unwilling to give up." Gu Jinzhi finally put the wine handed over by Luo Ning and sniffed it in front of his nose.

"What's so unwilling to accept?" Luo Ning didn't understand. "He originally lived in the village and had nothing. You gave him money and a good husband. He could spend the rest of his life well. Why not be willing to accept it?"

Gu Jinzhi was silent for a while, then smiled: "Do you think the eldest princess is happy?"

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Happiness? It's already amazing that the royal family can survive. Why do you still care about happiness or not?"

"You can understand!" Gu Jinzhi chuckled, "Lingyao can't see these difficulties. What he sees is the glory, wealth and dignity of the eldest princess. Have you ever thought that if his mother did not leave, he might be able to live such a life, and wealth is inexhaustible, rather than being like her, who is so petty for a copper coin!"

Luo Ning looked at Gu Jinzhi and hadn't spoken for a long time.

Gu Jinzhi stretched out his hand and patted Luo Ning on the shoulder: "Do you want to save her again?"

Luo Ning lowered her head and said nothing.

"Do you know why at that time, you told me that you wanted to stay in Mobei, but I didn't agree?" Gu Jinzhi looked at Luo Ning and said softly.

"I know, Sheng Xiao told me that I am too soft-hearted, and on the battlefield, soft-heartedness may kill me at any time." Luo Ning scratched his eyebrows and said helplessly.

Gu Jinzhi patted Luo Ning on the shoulder: "Since you know, what else do you have to worry about? Ling Yao is the path she chose. Except for herself, no one needs to be responsible for her. You, me, or Sheng Lan, this is her own choice!"

Luo Ning sighed: "I really envy the Emperor. There are so many children, and I have not even a baby so far!"
