Ning Yi was in a panic, and Jin Siyu pursued him relentlessly. Ning Yi seemed to be in a daze, speaking his true feelings: he must rescue Feng Zhiwei safely. After Jin Siyu left, Ning Yi stared blankly, "Will you be the second Ning Yi?" Feng Zhiwei, dressed in splendid attire, with a cloud fan covering her face, gently walked towards Jin Siyu. This was the wedding Jin Siyu held for them in name only.

Jin Siyu provoked Ning Yi, asking him to offer congratulations. Ning Yi picked up the xun, and a familiar melody floated into Feng Zhiwei's ears, but her expression remained unchanged. While crossing the saddle, Feng Zhiwei suddenly fell, hitting her head hard. After getting up, Feng Zhiwei had already recalled past events. Facing Jin Siyu's claim that she was Princess Wang Shaoyao, Ning Yi resolutely pulled her hand.

Helian Zheng and Gu Nanyi were about to make a move when suddenly the river embankment collapsed, Pucheng was flooded, and everyone found themselves in a water city. Ning Yi, Jin Siyu, Helian Zheng, and Gu Nanyi were all looking for one person: Feng Zhiwei. Ning Yi, underwater, was one step ahead of the others and found Feng Zhiwei in the deep water. He was overjoyed and embraced Feng Zhiwei.

Jin Siyu appeared at this moment and pulled Feng Zhiwei away. Guo Jun also didn't hesitate to assassinate Ning Yi. Fortunately, Ning Yi was agile and dodged the pursuit of the two. Helian Zheng said that if Feng Zhiwei decided to return with Ning Yi, he would let go. Unexpectedly, Ning Yi hoped Feng Zhiwei would follow Helian Zheng back to Jinshi, believing only he could keep Feng Zhiwei safe. Feng Zhiwei was reluctant, asking "Why?"

In the end, they still said goodbye forever, never to meet again. Yalê's magnificent black hair had turned white, looking incredibly eerie in this sunless dark room. Emperor Tiansheng came to see her, talking about the weather outside. For many years, he had grown accustomed to visiting Yalê every day, speaking to her about things he couldn't share with others, though he feared it wouldn't last much longer.

Yalê knew her death was approaching, so her only wish was to see Ning Yi. Emperor Tiansheng was angered and sent someone to escort her back to Yilan Palace. Before leaving, Yalê, filled with resentment, left a message: "Never meet him again for all eternity." Emperor Tiansheng handed the imperial edict to Prime Minister Yao. Prime Minister Yao opened it and was panic-stricken, as the name was Prince Wei Ning Qi!

Xin Ziyan and Prime Minister Yao quickly knelt down, pleading with Emperor Tiansheng to retract his command. However, Emperor Tiansheng only gave them two choices: either accept this heavy responsibility and assist Ning Qi, or retire to their hometowns and stay away from the court. Emperor Tiansheng was displeased, and the two could only withdraw. Emperor Tiansheng stated that if Ning Yi did not relinquish his armor, he would eliminate him.

He even instructed Zhao Yuan to assist Ning Qi in becoming a diligent and benevolent emperor who cared for his people. Emperor Tiansheng, wary of Gu Yan, had Lu Ming deploy the Golden Feather Guards to ambush at the city's edge. Gu Yan quickly discussed with Xin Ziyan, Prime Minister Yao, and others. Emperor Tiansheng's move was clearly a desperate measure to deal with Ning Yi.

Chunyu Meng and his father Chunyu Hong, along with Yao Yangyu, also risked their lives to help Ning Yi. Ning Qi naturally received the news and decided to seize the opportunity to further harm Ning Yi. However, Yue Ling and Changsun Hong were not his loyal subjects. Yue Ling would find a way to let Emperor Tiansheng know of Ning Qi's actions.

Once Ning Qi died, Ning Yi would also be secretly killed by Changsun Hong, and by then, Emperor Tiansheng would be left with the tragic fate of losing all his descendants. Er Hua, accused of secretly entering the prince's manor to steal, was escorted by Ning Qi's men to Xin Ziyan's residence. Xin Ziyan ordered his men to untie him, preparing to speak with Ning Qi in person, but unexpectedly, those men immediately killed Er Hua.

Ning Yi led his army into the palace. Emperor Tiansheng asked, "Is he staging a palace coup?" Ning Yi ordered others to retreat ten zhang, then revealed that the twin Gu poison between them had been resolved, stating that Emperor Tiansheng no longer needed to protect himself. Emperor Tiansheng held his sword against Ning Yi's chest, already highly wary of him. No matter how Zhao Yuan tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Ning Yi simply took out his prince's jade tally, demoting himself to a commoner who would never return to the capital, only hoping that Emperor Tiansheng would return his mother, Yalê, to him! Emperor Tiansheng dropped his sword, squatted down, and looked directly at Ning Yi. Da Hua was constantly thinking of Er Hua, overwhelmed with grief. She got up and discovered that the child in her womb was also gone. Overcome with sorrow, Da Hua fainted.

Xin Ziyan quickly summoned a physician, but ultimately, nothing could be done to save her. Yalê was brought by Ning Cheng to Ning Yi. After more than twenty years, mother and son finally met. Ning Yi knelt down and kowtowed deeply, while Yalê opened her arms, and they embraced, weeping. Ning Yi was no longer Prince Chu, but Liu Lang. Xin Ziyan set aside his grief and told Ning Yi about the Fire Phoenix Gang.

However, Ning Yi was only focused on tuning the zither for Yalê, showing no intention of returning to the royal family. He was very happy with his current situation. Ning Yi played the zither for Yalê, asking for praise like a child, while Aunt Ling Ying prepared a large reunion feast. Xin Ziyan watched Ning Yi enjoy the family reunion, his heart filled with sorrow, and he turned to leave. At night, Ning Yi brought the osmanthus wine he personally brewed to Yalê. However, Yalê did not want Ning Yi to abandon his ideals for her.
