Just as Zheng You's heart was about to stop beating from tension, she finally heard the low voice of Lang Ling Wang say, "No need!"

  "Never mind." What does it mean?

  Zheng Yu's eyes widened, and even Autumn Princess furrowed her brow. Inside, Zheng Furen leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed intently on him, waiting for him to continue.

  The King of Lanling stood up.

  He quietly looked at Mrs. Zheng, his expressionless face somehow made Mrs. Zheng feel that he was sneering coldly. His low and calm voice had a metallic ring to it, "A husband should be self-respecting! Those Black Armor Guards and private troops will think of ways to come back on their own. As for Lord Hu and Lord Duan, I will personally go to apologize. These are my matters, so there's no need for you to worry about them, madam!"

  This remark is not only impolite but also leaves no room for maneuver!

  Mrs. Zheng was annoyed, her breathing became heavier, hearing this, Zheng Yu beside her turned pale, she quickly stood up, biting her teeth, and restrained the urge to rush in.

  In an awkward silence, Mrs. Zheng spoke up, forcing a smile, "Xiao Guan, young people being too impulsive is not a wise move!"

  The King of Lanling stood up slowly, looking at Mrs. Zheng with a faint smile, and said calmly: "Is it right to yield to the powerful, and let others bully you with their power?"

  How can you say such an unpleasant thing!

  Mrs. Zheng sprang to her feet, glaring at Prince Langling with a mixture of anger and incredulity. Could this young man, who had come from a difficult past, be so arrogant and frivolous? Was this the time to be reckless and stubborn?

  The King of Lanling ignored Madame Zheng and cast a scornful glance at her, then turned and walked away with a flick of his sleeve.

  "Wait!"

  "Mrs. Zheng let out a sharp cry and took a deep breath to calm herself down slightly, her voice still somewhat shrill as she said, 'Gao Xiaoguang, don't you see the situation you're in?'"

  It seemed that there would be more unpleasant words coming out of her mouth. Zheng Yu rushed over with a whooshing sound. She rushed to the front of Mrs. Zheng, knelt down with a thud, and hugged her legs, crying: "Mother... Mother..."

  Mrs. Zheng was just getting annoyed when she heard her daughter call out like that, and looking down, she saw the tears rolling in her eyes. The rest of the words were swallowed back down.

  Seeing his mother's patience, Zheng Yu hastily chased after Prince Lanling.

  She chased after Lang Ling Wang who was walking down the stairs with quick steps and grabbed his sleeve tightly.

  The King of Lanling turned his head back.

  He gazed at Zheng Yu's tear-filled eyes.

  Zheng Yu begged pitifully, looking at him with a sorrowful expression, and hoarsely pleaded: "Xiao Guan, don't be so angry, listen to me."

  The King of Lanling stopped in his tracks.

  Zheng You smiled happily, with tears still on her face. But this smile made that beautiful face even more touching.

  She looked at him, lowering her voice and speaking seriously: "Xiao Gui, I've thought it through. Once this storm has passed, I'll bring Ah Kui in for you. You want to give her a name, don't you? I swear to you, within a year, no more than a year, I will obtain the permission of the Empress Dowager and our family members to grant her the position of noble concubine."

  She looked at him sincerely and said seriously: "Xiao Yu, I have also seen Zhang Ji. Like you, I like her too. She is so beautiful, so intelligent and has a strong personality. Even when facing the powerful Yuwen Cheng, she remains calm and composed. Such a girl, no one will not like. Don't worry, I will take care of her just like you do. I won't allow anyone to harm her."

  Her voice is sincere, her eyes are warm and honest, every expression of hers speaks of her sincerity.

  When she saw Lang Ling Wang staring at her, she was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she raised her hand and said in a low voice: "Xiao Guan, I can swear an oath!"

  She also understands men. Many men always think that their own women, no matter how many, can coexist peacefully. The woman he loves, other women will see her beauty and be willing to love her too.

  She spoke very sincerely.

  The King of Lanling looked at her, his gaze slowly turning gentle, and after a moment's hesitation, he said slowly: "You go back."

  Having said that, he pulled open her hand and went downstairs.

  After seeing him off, Zheng Yu turned around and met the dissatisfied eyes of Shang Qiu Gongzhu and his mother.

  The King of Lanling returned while Zhang Gui was still embroidering.

  He stood behind her and after a moment of contemplation, he ordered the steward: "Give Zhang Ji a set of warehouse keys."

  He solemnly ordered: "From now on, whatever Zhang Ji wants, it will be granted. The gold, silver, brocade and silk in the mansion are at her disposal!"

  It became quieter in all directions.

  He gave such an order, where would he place the princess who was about to enter the palace?

  Seeing this, Langling Wang's face sank and he said angrily: "How dare you disobey?"

  The attendant stepped forward, leaned in close and whispered: "Your Highness, this is not proper... Zhang Ji is not even a concubine now, getting too much will not be good for her." This young master of his had lost his mother since he was a child. Later when he opened up his own estate, there were no women like concubines around him either, and he put all his mind on military campaigns and battles. He never thought that maidservants needed monthly allowances, and concubines also needed rewards - all this was because of him, as he always thought that since the Prince of Lanling favored Zhang Ji so much, there would certainly be special provisions for her in terms of silver and money. No one expected that there were many rules that everyone knew about, but he didn't understand.

  The housekeeper said this, looking at King Langling with a bitter smile. The young master is also like that, either not giving a single penny, or suddenly preparing to treat him with all his might!

  The King of Lanling listened to the advice of his attendant, furrowing his brow and saying in a deep voice: "Don't bother with others. Go make a copy of the key, and also assign ten personal guards to her. From now on, don't let her go out alone."

  Seeing him insist, Guan Shi had no choice but to reluctantly reply: "Yes."

  "Everyone retreat."

  "Yes."

  Everyone retreated, and Langling Wang looked at Zhang Qi again.

  He looked at Zhang Qi, who was embroidering with her head down, and suddenly obtained great power, but he didn't care. He thought to himself: Since she didn't think of asking others for money when she was in trouble, it means that she has always been a person who takes money lightly. Now that she has so much, it's normal that she is still unmoved.

  He lowered his head and looked at Zhang Qi with a pitiful expression, saying in a low voice: "Just now, I saw Mrs. Zheng."

  As soon as the words fell, Zhang Qi's hand was pricked by an embroidery needle. She raised her index finger to hold it in place when her pale wrist was suddenly grasped tightly by Prince Langling.

  He knelt down in front of her, took her small hand, and with his mouth covered the wound that had a drop of blood on it. His deep, mysterious eyes gazed at her warmly and smilingly...

  Zhang Qi lowered her head. She looked at the embroidered pouch in her hand, and after a while, she asked softly: "What did you say to her?" She asked cautiously, with tension, her voice had a few hints of awkwardness.

  This was the first time in days she spoke to him with such a tense yet gentle tone!

  The King of Lanling's mouth curled up, and he spoke in a low voice. He recounted what Madam Zheng had said to him at the wine tower earlier, as well as his response! However, he didn't mention the last thing Zheng Yu had said to him, feeling it wasn't necessary to bring up.

  Zhang Qi was taken aback.

  She didn't know. For her sake, he had endured so much pressure!

  I'm afraid that even with the Zheng family's power, it's still not enough. Is Your Majesty also involved in this matter? Perhaps Xiao Mo is too.

  She's really not a good woman, always causing trouble for others...

  Zhang Qi turned her gaze towards him.

  She looked at him, slowly, her long eyelashes batting a few times, "I won't be someone's mistress."

  She slowly moved closer and knelt down, looking up at him. She stretched out her hands to encircle his waist.

  At the moment she put her hand on his, Lang Ling Wang clearly felt that his heart, which had been exhausted from days of rushing around, suddenly burst open...

  He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around her.

  The two of them knelt on the ground like this, tightly embracing each other, neither of them speaking.

  At this moment, time has not passed, and the spring breeze is soft and intoxicating. At this moment, peach blossoms are dancing in the wind, and the calls of swallows are woven into a melody.

  ……

  She buried her face in Lang Ling Wang's arms, feeling his heartfelt joy, Zhang Qi wanted to smile, but couldn't quite manage it.

  She and he both knew that this was just the beginning. The Black Armor Army, which had been handed over to others, as well as his private army, wanted to come back, and it wasn't going to be easy!

  The King of Lanling slowly lowered his head.

  Just then, Zhang Qi was also secretly looking at him.

  At the worry in her eyes, Langling Wang furrowed his brow. He stretched out his hand and gently smoothed out the wrinkles between her eyebrows, saying seriously: "I know that even if General Zhuo and General Duan stand on my side, my Black Armor Guard and private army are not something that can be easily taken back."

  He took the initiative to speak up, and Zhang Qiyan said in a trembling voice: "What can we do?"

  Looking up, she saw that his eyebrows and eyes were full of fatigue, and his originally handsome face was covered with thinness and haggardness. Her voice was a little hoarse, a little powerless, "If you really can't bear it..."

  The King of Lanling looked at her, sighed and shook his head, muttering: "Don't worry, there will be a way." But in his voice, there was a hint of powerlessness.

  He's hardly ever felt powerless, has he?

  Thinking of his difficult childhood, from young to old, he must have suffered countless cold eyes and ridicule. Moreover, with his outstanding appearance, he might have endured even more insults, both overt and covert, beyond count.

  So many people want to see him make jokes, but she...

  Thinking of this, Zhang Qi's heart was tied into a knot. She bit her lip and thought for a moment before finally saying in a hoarse voice: "If you really can't bear it, then send me to Xiao Mo."

  Since she was the center of his troubles, once she left, his troubles would be cured without any treatment.

  So-called "calamity comes from the east", is it this meaning?

  Compared with other men, the greatest advantage she has in Xiao Mo's hands is that one day, when he is desperate, he might even think of sending her to Chen Di.

  Is it just going around in circles, circling half of the Central Plains, only to return to Xiao Mo's side again?

  This is not what Langya Wang wants to hear!

  He flung her aside and took a step back!

  He turned around with a swish and strode out in big steps. Just as he had taken two steps, he stopped again.

  He slowly turned around.

  He gazed at her coldly and declared, "I can protect you!" He let out a sarcastic laugh and said with a mix of sadness and hurt, "But in your heart, I'm not even as good as Xiao Mo?"

  That's different. His identity is special, there are too many people who don't think well of him, and too many people are watching him. Xiao Mo, on the other hand, doesn't have these worries. Besides, a woman like her, wherever she goes, will bring trouble to whoever gets her, what's there to be happy about getting her?

  Zhang Qi hastily stood up, just as she was about to explain, Lang Ling Wang interrupted her.

  He stared at her coldly and said word by word: "Give up, I won't send you to anyone! Nor will I let you go back to Chen Di!"

  He turned around abruptly and threw out a sentence, "You'd better take care of yourself!"

  But was it because she mentioned Xiao Mo's name that he became so enraged?

  Looking at Langling Wang rushing away like a whirlwind, Zhang Gui slowly knelt down on the ground.

  Divider line

  The King of Lanling burst out of the main hall like a whirlwind!

  He saw him stumbling, his face turning black, and the hands placed on his legs were shaking with anger. The old steward who was waiting outside the door was startled and quickly followed up.

  Following Lang Ling Wang for over a hundred steps, the old steward finally caught up. He hastily grabbed his sleeve and anxiously cried out: "A Gui, A Gui, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

  The old steward's panic brought the King of Lanling back to his senses from his bitter anger. He suddenly stopped short. Because of the sudden movement, the old steward, who was tightly grasping his sleeve, lurched forward and almost fell to the ground.

  The King of Lanling hastily stepped forward and supported him.

  Lao Guan Shi stabilized himself and hastily looked towards Lang Ling Wang, seeing that his expression had eased up a lot. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, "A Bi, what happened to make you so angry?"

  The King of Lanling was just confused, but after calming down, he immediately guessed the true meaning of Zhang Yi's words. The whole person also calmed down from jealousy and hatred.

  He supported the old steward and sat down on a fake mountain on one side, saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty has taken away my Black Armor Guard and private army."

  He said bitterly: "Fang Lao, I have worked hard for 19 years, and now I am going to lose everything again."

  "What? What's going on?" The old man asked repeatedly, and Langling Wang quietly told him what had happened recently.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Lao nodded and said: "A Gui, you've done a great job! A real man can't be threatened by his in-laws like this!"

  Mr. Fang has been watching the King of Lanling grow up, and his character and behavior have had a profound impact on him. After hearing Mr. Fang's words, the King of Lanling nodded and said, "I think so too."

  He stood up straight, turned his head and narrowed his eyes to gaze at the setting sun in the west, saying coldly: "My surname is Gao. Even if I have no talent, I am a member of the imperial clan. No one can cut off my food and clothing! Your Majesty doesn't want to take away my power? Then I'll just be an idle member of the imperial clan!"

  He turned his head to look at Fang Lao, and in a low voice explained to the old man who still had some worries: "Your Majesty and Empress Lou have always been suspicious. Last time, Empress Lou was unwilling for me to marry Zheng Shi, but this time she inexplicably relaxed her stance. Fang Lao, I'm afraid they've taken away my power, wanting to see if I'm obsessed with power, wanting to know if I'll humble myself and yield for the sake of power!"

  That makes sense.

  The old man nodded and said: "Then let the Duke take a good rest."

  The King of Lanling nodded and stretched his waist, "I've been worried about this matter for a while, I really should take a good rest."

  He rubbed his brow, sighed with a bitter smile and said somewhat helplessly: "Originally I thought I'd understand this principle as soon as I left the wine building. Who would have thought that after teasing her and making her emotional for a while, she would get angry and rush out again."

  He turned around, his low laughter hinting at mischief. "Speaking of which, my foolish woman hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time either. Old Fang, instruct the others that for the next few days, no matter who comes, they are not to be let in. If it's someone from the palace or sent by Zheng, just tell them I'm spending the whole night playing with my woman."
