There was an extremely depressing atmosphere in the entire Compassionate Ning Palace.

He Shi sat stiffly on the stool, holding a piece of rice paper full of words in his hand.She has read the content on this rice paper countless times, and can even recite it backwards.

She knew very well what was written on it, but now, she would rather be illiterate and not understand anything.

In this way, she may not have to despair anymore.

"Taiping... Taiping... Is that why you don't want to stay by my side? Well, since you want to leave so much, why should I think about you?"

"Since you're gone, don't show up again. In this life, I never want to see you again."

"Hehe, yes, you have already gone down to accompany her, how could I still see you? By the time I go down, you are afraid that you have already gone to reincarnate with her, right?"

"That's fine, in the next life, I won't have to meet you again."

He shi spoke sentence by sentence, and at the end, tears burst out of his eyes.

She didn't cry, she just shed tears silently.Crystal tears kept slipping down her cheeks, drop by drop hitting the rice paper, soaking into balls of ink.

But He Shi didn't notice it, she just sat there until sunset, when Bai Zhi and others outside couldn't wait any longer, they all knelt on the ground asking her to "take care of your body", and He Shi raised his face expressionlessly. He wiped away the tears on his face with his hands, smiled coldly, and rubbed the rice paper in his hands together little by little.

For a moment, she wanted to tear it off, but after grabbing it with her fingers, she found that she couldn't bear it at all, so she could only crumple it into a ball and throw it into a corner of the box out of sight.

Just looking at the scrolls of paintings in the box, He Shi couldn't help opening them to look.

The paintings are full of Taiping's appearance, some when they become old turtles, and some when they become white tigers, but most of them are white tigers, and the white tigers in each painting are wearing hats and clothes.

These paintings were all drawn by her herself, and the hats and clothes in the paintings were also stitched out by her own hands, and she put them all in the box carefully.

It's a pity that those things are still there now, but Taiping will never come back.

After looking at it for a long time, He Shi sighed deeply, re-rolled the painting and put it in the box.

Thinking back to what was written in Taiping's letter, He Shi suddenly felt that it was time for her to let go.

It's a pity that it's not easy to let go.

She grew up in a boudoir, and she has seen very few men, and she has never been tempted.Until she was sitting on the wedding bed in a bright red wedding dress, and the hijab was lifted, she looked at the man in front of her curiously and nervously, and with just one glance, she recognized him.

At that time, Taiping was not called Taiping, and he was much older than her, but because of proper maintenance, his face was still handsome, and the light of candle flames danced in his dark eyes, as bright as stars in the sky.

He smiled gently at her, read and wrote with her, listened to her play the piano, and painted for her.It was a day she never imagined, and it was the happiest day in her life, even happier than when she was at home.

Unfortunately, the happiness in the palace is short-lived after all.

He Shi sighed deeply, and locked the box firmly.The scenes of the past are still in front of my eyes, but unfortunately the man who said he would be with her for the rest of his life is no longer there.

Outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, Gao Zixin stood like a wooden stake.Feng Xuan hugged Bao'er and stood beside him worryingly, but couldn't say anything.

He knew that Gao Zixin was feeling uncomfortable, and that he was worried about the He family, but no matter what he tried to persuade him at the moment, he seemed powerless.

After a long time, Bai Zhi came out suddenly, quickly saluted Gao Zixin, and said softly: "The Empress Dowager has already gone to bed after dinner, Your Majesty should go back quickly."

Gao Zixin was silent for a long time before he found his own voice: "She... did she say anything?"

Bai Zhi then said: "Your Majesty said, ashes return to ashes, ashes return to ashes, follow nature, don't force it."

"Can't you force it?" Gao Zixin sighed softly, remembering Taiping's reluctance in his eyes when he left, and suddenly laughed mockingly.Then he said, "You are good to serve her, don't be negligent in the slightest."

Bai Zhi's heart trembled, and she immediately responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will take good care of your mother."

Only then did Gao Zixin wave his hand, turn around and leave.

In fact, he couldn't stay any longer, if he wasn't worried about He Shi, he wouldn't stay here at all.

He didn't know how to face the He family. Originally, he wanted the He family to see Taiping for the last time, but who knew that Taiping barely finished writing the letter, and as soon as he entered the cage, he could no longer control the original fierceness of the white tiger. , disappeared from the white tiger's body directly in front of him.

Without Taiping, the white tiger suddenly revealed its ferocious nature. Although it did not bite people crazily, it also recovered its nature as a beast, and it was impossible to get close to people like before.

Although Gao Zixin was reluctant, he followed Fengxuan's advice and ordered someone to send it to the tiger garden.There happened to be two tigresses sent by Fengxuan last year to be locked up there, and the white tiger just happened to be able to keep them company after he left.

It's just that after Gao Zixin ordered someone to send it there, he didn't want to see it anymore.

He couldn't accept such a white tiger, let alone the scene of it playing with the two tigress.

Seeing that Gao Zixin was a little out of control, Feng Xuan simply put Bao'er in Gao Zixin's arms.Gao Zixin hugged Bao'er instinctively, then gave Feng Xuan a hard look, and roared angrily in a low voice: "What are you doing? I almost missed him just now!"

Bao'er had already fallen asleep, but when she heard the sound, she woke up rubbing her eyes. Seeing that it was Gao Zixin, she immediately fell asleep in peace.

For several days in a row, Gao Zixin was in a bad mood, so that the atmosphere in the entire court was extremely depressed.

His majesty is getting more and more serious now, so that the courtiers who were not honest before are becoming more and more honest, and few people dare to show any signs of harm.It was obvious to all that Gao Zixin was in a bad mood recently, so he didn't dare to make a fool of himself at this time.

Even if the courtiers already knew the real purpose of Jin Yiwei, they could only pinch their noses to recognize it. No one dared to point at Gao Zixin's nose and scold him for doing something wrong.

What's more, the large fields of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in Huangzhuang are all growing gratifyingly. The courtiers have long been itching to see it, and they are all waiting for the final results.

Although they are not worried about being hungry in a famine year, they also don’t want tens of thousands of people to starve to death. There are also a lot fewer people.

Besides, no one who is an official in Beijing is a fool. Now they are all aware of the changes in Daliang, especially the changes in Lingnan, which are changing with each passing day.

If there is an astonishing output of grain, Daliang's future must be boundless, and it may even become a generation of prosperity.

They were fortunate enough to witness the formation of a prosperous age, who would be so stupid as to kill themselves?

Sure enough, after a few days of depression, good news came from Lingnan.

Before Gao Zixin promoted the method of drying salt in Lingnan, he asked Qian Bi to set up a shipyard in the past to build fishing boats and encourage people to go fishing.Now, it has already begun to bear fruit.

Large flakes of snow-white salt grains have appeared in the sun-dried salt fields by the sea, and the cost is much lower than the previous method of boiling salt.And the first batch of fishing boats to go to sea have also returned, carrying back a boat full of seafood.

For this reason, many well-informed businessmen have rushed to Lingnan, and Zheng Yuan and Qian Bi took the opportunity to open a seafood restaurant.Everyone has never seen many seafood, but Zheng Yuan knows how to do it, so the business of the restaurant is booming.

He even taught people to make seafood into dry goods for long-distance transportation and sale.

As a result, those who were still somewhat resistant to fishing at sea were all excited now, and ran to the shipyard to book fishing boats. There were too many people who wanted fishing boats, and the shipyard had no time to do it now, so they could only expand the scale.

The fishery in Lingnan will soon form a complete industrial chain. Coupled with sun-dried salt and fertile fields and forests being cultivated, it is conceivable that Lingnan will become a cornucopia in a short time.

So as soon as the news reached the capital, the courtiers thought that Gao Zixin had bought a large area of ​​mountains and forests in Lingnan on purpose, and they immediately moved their minds.

Gao Zixin's image of making money has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. He even bought the forest on purpose. Could it be a loss-making business?

What's more, there are still large tracts of fertile land being reclaimed in Lingnan!

So these people had a thought, and immediately arranged for people to go to Lingnan to buy fields and land.As a result, those people went to find out that someone had already made it to the top!

The changes in Lingnan attracted many merchants. As soon as these merchants heard that Gao Zixin was buying fields and land in Lingnan, they immediately became ruthless, and immediately spent money to follow suit.

It's a pity that Gao Zixin has long issued a purchase restriction order, and there are strict restrictions on buying land, just to prevent these people from wanton trading and exploiting the people in Lingnan too much.

However, when the news of Lingnan reached Daning, Gao Zijian felt unhappy.

He has been busy cutting weeds and rooting out the roots recently, who knows that Lingnan has changed a lot due to an oversight!

He suddenly became flustered, and even ran directly to meet Ning Wang Gao Haichong who was under house arrest: "Father, are your people in Lingnan still there?"

Gao Hai stared at him dissatisfied: "Nie Yi! Since you know that this king is your father, you should quickly release this king!"

Gao Zijian's complexion changed, and he suddenly took out a piece of thin paper full of words and threw it in front of Gao Haichong: "Father, you should take a look for yourself. The current Lingnan is not the former Lingnan."
