His long-standing relationship was seen as nothing more than an immature act by the other person.
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
The King of the South felt his heart had turned to ice.
He didn't even want to face all of this.
He also thought how wonderful it would be if time could stay in that year.
Even though they were uncle and aunt, he could feel that their hearts were together.
Unlike now, where everything is attributed to him.
Seeing the self-reproach on his face, the Grand Princess pursed her lips, didn't try to persuade him any further, and got up to leave.
He left only the words, "You'd better take care of yourself."
What a wise choice to be self-disciplined!
The Southern King laughed out loud, as if mocking himself.
Then the room fell into a deathly silence.
The Prince of the South sat in silence for a long time, then propped himself up with his numb legs, dragged out a box next to the bookshelf, opened it, and found the letters he had exchanged with the Grand Princess over the years.
He kept them all.
But now, looking at all this, he feels like a joke.
Is it wrong to insist on so many aspects?
Why didn't she even glance at him?
The entire Nanwang Mansion was filled with people brought by Fan Li, and the Nanwang and his family were effectively imprisoned.
The eldest princess returned to this place after many years and found that nothing had changed; every place triggered her memories.
She didn't want to stay in the mansion, so she had Fanli escort her to the post station.
She was already exhausted from traveling all night, and after talking with her old friend, she quickly fell asleep.
But in the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by a noise outside.
The inn was very close to the Prince of Nan's mansion, and any commotion there could be clearly seen from the second floor of the east wing of the inn.
The Grand Princess got up when she smelled the smoke in the air, and the nanny who served her came in and closed the window.
What's going on outside?
"without……"
The old woman originally wanted to keep it a secret, but then people on the street started shouting, "The Prince of Nan's mansion is on fire!"
The Grand Princess's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly got up and opened the window that offered a view of the Prince of Nan's residence.
Flames soared into the sky in the very center of the Prince of Nan's mansion, illuminating half of the mansion.
She was familiar with every plant and tree in the Prince of Nan's mansion, so she naturally knew where the study was.
She had just met with the Prince of the South in the study today.
He glanced at the old woman in a daze, his lips trembling.
"It was him?"
The nanny came over and helped the Grand Princess sit down.
"Self-immolation."
No, that's impossible.
The Grand Princess's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. Her chest heaved, and she felt dizzy before losing consciousness.
"Your Highness!"
*
Fang Qing only learned about the Southern King's self-immolation the next day.
She even specifically asked Seventeen about this.
"It's true, but the Southern King met someone before he committed suicide."
Before Fang Qing could even form a guess, Seventeen continued, "A few days ago, the Grand Princess left the capital and headed towards Jiaozhou."
Fang Qing instantly realized that the person the Prince of Nan met yesterday must have been the Grand Princess.
Fang Qing could roughly guess what had happened.
It was simply that the Prince of the South was waiting for the Grand Princess to come and rescue him with her military power.
But now this is the Sima family's domain, and the Grand Princess is a noble Grand Princess. How could she possibly do anything detrimental to the Sima family?
The King of the South was heartbroken and then committed suicide.
"So what's the story behind this case?"
"It's uncertain at the moment; it may require a decision from the capital."
In the following days, Fang Qing was busy with her own things and didn't pay attention to the situation there.
One day, Fang Qing was using the system to search for literature on rice research when there was a sudden knock on the study door.
Fang Qing's train of thought was interrupted. She turned off the light screen in front of her and let the person in.
"Madam, General Fan Li requests an audience."
Fang Qing was suspicious.
What is Fan Li doing here?
Fang Qing put down her calligraphy brush and went to the front hall.
Unexpectedly, what I saw was not only a fence, but also a large tree.
"The County Head of the Ministry of Agriculture".
Fan Li greeted Fang Qing.
"General Fan Li, may I ask what brings you here in person?"
Fan Li took out a letter.
"This is a letter written by His Majesty himself, which just arrived today."
Fang Qing took it and opened it.
The Emperor merely inquired about the progress of rice research and specifically requested that Fang Dashu be transferred here to assist him.
Fang Qing then understood why Fang Dashu was here.
"Thank you for your trouble, General Fanli."
"It's alright."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
As she spoke, Fan Li stood up.
Perhaps because she was busy with the affairs of the Southern King, Fan Li looked tired.
"General Fanli, please wait."
Fang Qing couldn't help but ask about the handling of the situation on Nan Wang's side.
"Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, His Majesty has already issued the order: the Prince of Nan committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and his family will not be held accountable. However, his hereditary title of Prince of Nan will be revoked. Now, the Prince of Nan's family is just one of the more prosperous people in Jiaozhou."
Fang Qing had already thought of this approach.
Now the imperial court no longer needs to be wary of Jiaozhou.
"Is General Fan Li leaving Jiaozhou?"
"Yes, but I have received the Emperor's order to go to Yangzhou to arrest the traitor Gao Wancheng."
Fang Qing was surprised.
Zhao Shi'an wrote every few days, but she hadn't heard him mention Gao Wancheng's whereabouts.
Seeing Fang Qing's doubts, Fan Li said, "We've made progress in finding Gao Wancheng. I'll mainly go there to assist Lord Zhao."
Seemingly because it was inconvenient to reveal what was happening over there, Fan Li left without saying anything more.
