Having obtained the Empress Dowager's promise, Zhang Gui was overjoyed. She quickly lifted her head, her tearful eyes gazing at the Empress Dowager, a smile spreading across her face, her expression filled with endless gratitude. Again, she heavily kowtowed to the Empress Dowager and choked out: "Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty, for your great kindness."

  Anyone can tell that she is speaking from her heart.

  The Empress Dowager lowered her head, and in the dim sunlight, her expression was somewhat stunned. She had originally thought that Zhang Gui's automatic request for divorce was just a reluctant move, but now looking at her, she seemed to be truly overjoyed?

  Suddenly, Empress Lü felt a surge of sympathy in her heart. She sighed and said: "You poor child... Come here..."

  "Yes."

  Summoning two guards, Empress Lü turned the Buddhist rosary and said slowly: "Reward Zhangshi with 400 taels of gold. Lu Qi, you take 500 men to ensure that Zhangshi is safely delivered to Chen territory."

  The Empress Dowager ordered to this point, but saw Zhang Gui again heavily kowtowing to her, tearfully saying: "I still have a maidservant named A Lu, who is currently in the Lanling King's mansion..."

  This child really wants to leave!

  The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Go bring that Ah Lu over!"

  Zhang Qi bit her teeth and said with a hint of shame, lowering her head: "When I left Chen's place, I brought several tens of gold with me, all hidden in the Wang mansion. The gold is hidden very secretly, may I go there together?" That gold was hidden too tightly, it's hard to say clearly.

  She didn't expect her to say that, so Madame Lou turned around and stared at Zhang Qi in the dim light. Seeing her clear eyes and extremely calm expression, she couldn't help but shake her head and say: "You child, are also a bit stubborn."

  She followed Langling Wang for so long, no merit but hard work, getting some gold is also deserved.

  The Empress said: "There's no need to go. Lou Qi, you let Langling Wang send three hundred pieces of gold as Zhang Shi's dowry."

  "Yes."

  "Zhang, you follow Lao Qi and retreat first."

  "Yes."

  Zhang Qi turned her head and quietly followed behind the burly man, Lou Qi. From start to finish, she didn't even glance at Xiao Mo...

  Zhang Gui was leaving when he heard Empress Lou say softly, "Xiao Shangshu, this is a matter of husband and wife's moral integrity. It can't be forced. Although you haven't been in Ye City for long, you are deeply liked by the noble ladies here. Tell me, which family's daughter do you like? Even if it's a princess, I will grant you marriage." Her warm words were truly respectful and looked up to.

  Zhang Qi didn't listen anymore, she followed behind Lou Qi and walked straight out of the palace.

  At this time, the sunset had just sunk below the horizon, with layers of reddish-purple twilight glowing in the sky, and from a distance, it was incredibly brilliant.

  Zhang Qi walked slowly. She quietly looked at the scenery around her, quietly looking at the green bricks and red walls under the sunset.

  At this moment, her heart was incredibly calm.

  As she walked along, she suddenly bowed to Lou Qi and said with shame: "Commander, is there a place to change clothes?"

  Lao Qi was a eunuch, and he nodded and said: "Please follow me."

  Leading Zhang Gui to a magnificently decorated palace, Zhang Gui bowed to him and hastily rushed in.

  As soon as she entered, Zhang Gui dismissed the maids and closed the door, rushing to the washbasin to vomit.

  ...This symptom has been going on for three days already. Even though she was extremely cautious in front of Lang Ling Wang, and the pregnancy medicine never left her side, she might still be pregnant. Perhaps it's because this child is stubborn, no matter how unwilling she is, he wants to come into this world, and wants to protect her.

  She's finally been given a chance by heaven!

  In her previous life, Zhang Qi had never been pregnant, but she really wanted to have a child to rely on, so she always paid attention to the signs of pregnancy in women, and was more knowledgeable than ordinary doctors.

  It's just in time for this child to arrive. She can return to Chen Di soon, and with this child, she finally has something to look forward to in her life.

  After washing up, Zhang Qi hastily walked out and followed Luo Qi from behind, continuing to head outside.

  As ordered by Empress Dowager, before Zhang Gui left Ye City, she would stay in Wu Yun Temple next to the palace for recuperation. At this moment, they were on their way to Jingyun Temple.

  Divider line

  A group of people arrived at the gate of the palace and stopped there.

  In front of the palace gate, a group of people stood, led by a man with handsome features and a hint of bloodshot eyes, his face still bearing a trace of anger - wasn't it King Langling? Behind King Langling were several guards, followed by Zheng Yu, Autumn Princess, Lou Qiuniang and others.

  As soon as Zhang Qi walked out, Autumn Princess's eyes lit up, and she smiled with her eyes narrowed. Under Zheng Yu's glare, that smile quickly disappeared.

  At this time, Langling Wang stepped forward with big strides.

  He rushed in front of Zhang Qi.

  He looked down at her and said in a low voice: "Where is Xiao Mo? Where is that husband of hers?"

  Zhang Qi lowered her eyes and ignored him.

  Luo Qi stepped forward and said in a sharp voice to Lang Ling Wang, "Zhang Shi has asked the Empress Dowager for permission to return to her hometown, and it has been approved."

  What?

  It turned out that she was not going to marry Xiao Mo? Even if the empress dowager had arranged the marriage, she would not have married Xiao Mo. In her heart, there was only herself...

  Unlike the joy of Lanling King, Zhang Qi didn't need to raise his head to feel the chill in the eyes of those noble ladies standing behind him. Autumn Princess was even a bit flustered.

  Thinking of this, Langling Wang's throat tightened, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grasp Zhang Qi's hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Qi, shall we go home? From now on, let's live a good life together, I will never leave you again, not even one step away from you, okay?"

  Zhang Qi didn't show any joy on her face, and she didn't even raise an eyebrow. She quietly pulled out the hand that he was holding, and calmly said: "Prince of Lanling, the Empress Dowager has already bestowed wealth upon me and allowed me to return home."

  She raised her head, and her clear and cold eyes, like autumn water, met those of Prince Langling.

  Looking at him, there was no longer any coquetry in her eyes, nor any affection. She quietly looked at him for a while, lowered her head, bowed to him and said: "Those days, because of Ah Qi's impulsiveness, she had caused trouble for the Duke."

  She ignored Lang Ling Wang's darkening face and walked past him towards Zheng Yu.

  As she approached, Zheng Yu hastily took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to intimately grasp Zhang Qi's hand.

  Zhang Qi took a step back and avoided her intimacy.

  In Zheng Yu's embarrassment, Zhang Qi was bowing to her with a smile. With her eyes cast down, she said slowly and calmly: "The young lady and the Prince of Lanling have been destined for each other since childhood. It was I, Zhang Qi, who was being willful and always stood in your way, blocking you in every possible way... Now that I'm leaving too, please don't hold grudges against me for what happened in the past."

  She stepped back a few steps, turned around and smiled at Lou Qi: "Let's go."

  As soon as the four characters came out, a hand suddenly stretched out and firmly grasped Zhang Qi's wrist!

  His lips were pursed into a thin line. On Langling Wang's beautiful face, there was a subtle panic that even he himself had never noticed: He had never seen Zhang Gui like this before, as if everything had been let go, as if they would part ways forever and ever!

  He grasped her wrist tightly, his Adam's apple rolling once before he spoke hoarsely: "A Qiu, what do you mean? You want to leave? I won't let you!"

  Zhang Qi turned around.

  In the sunset, her eyes were drunk and had a hint of unspeakable coldness and elegance. Her face, as beautiful as a painting, was full of mockery. She looked at King Lanling quietly, and Zhang Gui's red lips opened slightly. She said softly: "You don't allow?" She smiled lowly: "No need, the empress dowager has already allowed me."

  She stretched out her other hand, prying his fingers open one by one, but he tightened them again one by one. Zhang Qi struggled for a while, then stopped and gazed up at him with a careless smile before lowering her head to let the blue silk on her forehead cover her eyebrows, saying quietly: "Chang Gong..."

  This title was so gentle that it made Langling Wang's sudden panic slightly dissipate.

  Zhang Qi said quietly: "Chang Gong, you are a good man, you will make achievements and leave a name in history... Your wife will also be gentle and virtuous, she loves and respects you, and will help you all the way to success." Although the final result was that he died before the age of thirty after achieving great things. But this doesn't matter, in such a world, how many people can live to be thirty years old? She herself may not even live past thirty years old.

  Zhang Qi wiped the sarcasm off her face and looked up at him gently.

  She stretched out her hand, and Zhang Qi's gentle fingers stroked his tightly furrowed brow, saying softly: "Chang Gong, you're just not used to it now, really, you're just not used to it. If you can't bear it, you can go to the Red Mansion and sit for a while. You'll find that there are many beauties there, and there will also be flowers as gentle and eloquent as me."

  She smiled softly and leaned in to plant a light kiss on his lips, "Really, all women are the same, you'll let go soon." When she was with him, no matter how hard she struggled, he just watched her coldly. No matter how much she yearned to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, to stand upright by his side, he just looked at her quietly.

  ... He, actually never had her in his heart, right? So, after searching for her for several days, he could still calmly tell the empress dowager that he had never thought of marrying her.

  If she had messed with his mind, he wouldn't be so calm and certain.

  He just hasn't seen many women before. After experiencing a few more, he will forget her.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Qi smiled slightly and suddenly exerted force to pull out her wrist, then turned around and walked behind Lou Qi without looking back.

  Standing behind Lou Qi, she was as elegant as jade and as clear as a painting. It seemed that the aurora in the sky had all been absorbed by her, and it seemed that the absolute beauty of the world had created her unparalleled face.

  Although they were so close, so close! But there had never been a moment that made Gao Changgong feel that she was so far away from him.

  So far that she was beyond his reach, so far that she would never look back at him again, so far that she seemed to be about to disappear in the sunlight at any moment, so far that with a blink of an eye, she would completely disappear from his life, never to be found or seen again...

  Never had there been a moment when he felt so clearly that he had lost her!

  He really lost her!

  She would never again be coy and pleading in front of him, never again be overly flattering to him, never again blushingly shout to everyone that she just wanted to be his legitimate wife.

  He lost her!

  It turned out that she didn't need his wealth or fame, and she would still return to her hometown. It turned out that he had never fully possessed her, and as long as she was willing, she could leave at any time, while he couldn't stop her or protect her!

  Originally, in his heart, all the preciousness he had for her was just desire. Any other woman, even a courtesan from the red chamber, could replace her position in his mind!

  The King of Lanling suddenly took a step back, his mind reeling from the exhaustion and internal injuries caused by rushing to complete the emperor's task so he could return to see her. The fatigue and fear of the past few days and nights all came flooding back. He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Hui again, but everything went black. As he fell to the ground, his last conscious thought was that Zhang Hui had not turned around, she not only didn't turn around, but also said something to Lou Qi before following him with large strides, leaving without looking back!
