Li Jiao had made up his mind and immediately returned to the Zhennan Palace. He said to Yun Ni, "Girl, pack your things quickly and follow me back to the capital."

Yun Ni asked in confusion: "Your Highness, haven't you already run out of places to stay in the capital?

The emperor is also heartless. Even if he abolishes your position as crown prince, he should at least reward you with a palace to live in. What's the point of letting your own prince live under someone else's roof?"

Li Jiao said, "Yun Ni, please don't say such things anymore. It is disrespectful to the emperor. In fact, my father has been very good to me. The deposed princes of previous dynasties were all imprisoned in the clan residence. Although they had no worries about food, clothing and daily expenses, they had no freedom."

"Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned. Only after abandoning them will you know that if there is no life, where can you find love?"

Yun Ni knew that His Highness was thinking about her, and she was delighted. She thought, "It seems that His Highness really has me in his heart. By the way, the poem he just read was so touching."

The maid Yun Ni began to admire His Highness a little. At the beginning, the deposed crown prince was dismissed, and everyone else left Li Jiao, but Yun Ni stayed and followed him through untold hardships before arriving in Dongdu.

At that time, Prince Zhennan asked Princess Cao to arrange a carriage to send Li Jiao to Jiangnan, but Cao pretended to obey the old prince and secretly asked the steward in the palace to send Li Jiao away in an ox cart.

An oxcart is not as good as a horse carriage and is more bumpy along the way. After many hardships, the master and servant finally arrived at the Eastern Capital from the capital. They thought they could live a good life, but Princess Cao of Zhennan and her sister Imperial Concubine Cao colluded with each other and sent a vicious nanny to target the deposed prince everywhere. It would have been fine if they had just made things difficult for him, but they tried every possible means to depose the prince, from poisoning to assassination.

Although Li Jiao was a transmigrated soul, he inherited the memories of his previous life, so the past events were naturally deeply engraved in his mind.

The two lives have merged, and he has taken on his new role. In the past, they killed his predecessor, and he let bygones be bygones, but now that he has been reborn, they still refuse to give up and insist on fighting to the death. That is a provocation to him, the son of destiny.

Li Jiao thought to himself, "I am a person blessed by the system after all, how can I not be able to deal with these vicious women?"

Although the maid Yun Ni was a woman, she was very efficient and quickly packed the luggage of the deposed Crown Prince Li Jiao and herself.

Yun Ni said, "Your Highness, we don't have much money left. It's a thousand miles to Kyoto and it will cost a lot of money. We can't afford a carriage, so let's hire an ox cart!"

Li Jiao said, "I am already the deposed crown prince, why should I bother with so much? It is you, Ni'er, who has suffered with me, and I feel bad about it. When I am crowned the crown prince again, I will definitely compensate you, and you will not lose the status you deserve."

Yun Ni said, "Your Highness, as long as I can follow you, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little. As for status, it's actually not that important."

Soon, Yun Ni negotiated a ox cart and asked the driver to wait for them at the third corner of the street.

The master and servant secretly went out through the back door. Those who were monitoring the deposed prince were at the front door and the middle door, and had no defense at the back door.

They felt that Li Jiao was the former crown prince after all and valued the dignity of the royal family. He always went out through the front door whenever he went out and had no precedent of going out through the back door, which left this loophole.

Li Jiao and Yun Ni walked two miles and arrived at the third corner of the street panting. The coachman was already waiting there.

"Sir, please get in the car, but you have to pay a deposit first."

Li Jiao asked, "How much?"

The driver said, "Sir, I will pay you five taels of silver in advance. You can pay me the remaining five taels of silver when you arrive in the capital. Of course, I would be more than happy if you pay me in advance."

Li Jiao complained: "Why don't you go and rob the money?"

The driver said, "Sir, you are joking. It is thousands of miles from the Eastern Capital to the Capital. I am already losing money by only charging you ten taels of silver."

Li Jiao thought to himself, "People often say that all businessmen are dishonest, and the ancients were honest. The fare alone has almost used up all my money. I also need to stay in a hotel and eat on the way, which costs money. What should I do?

Until today, I finally understood what it means that "a penny can make a hero fall."

Forget it, just muddle through! On the way, I'll see if I can get some silver by signing in with the system. I hope the system I'm bound to isn't a poor guy, otherwise I'll be called the 'poorest time traveler in history', and the system won't look good. "
