A day passed. The second day was a fine sunny day, the golden sunlight rose slowly from the east, passing through the weeping willows and white birches, layer upon layer of houses and shops, spilling onto the streets.

  At this time, the sky was almost noon, a horse-drawn carriage hurriedly and eagerly drove towards the Langling Wangfu. Behind the carriage, there were also three ordinary ox carts and more than ten servants following.

  While walking in the front carriage, Autumn Princess said discontentedly: "A Yu, you also care too much about him. You have to think that now Gao Xiaoguang is so tough in front of your mother just because he knows you care about him. I dare to guarantee that he is now like an ant in a hot pot, panicking."

  Dressed to the nines, exuding an air of luxury and elegance, with just that robust demeanor, Zheng Yu could make Zhang's concubine, who was known for her flirtatious ways, take three steps back. Twirling the handkerchief in her hand, she took a deep breath and said softly, "But I'm still uneasy."

  Fortunately, he had always known his mother's temper was bad, otherwise she really feared that he would become so proud as to no longer care about her.

  Seeing Zheng Yu like this, Autumn Princess got so angry that she rolled her eyes. She couldn't help but say loudly: "Ayu, what are you really afraid of? Let me tell you, Gao Xiao is the only one who has such a good family background, looks good, and is devoted to him with all his heart. Bah! He himself doesn't care about your family's dignity for a lowly concubine, but you're here worrying back and forth. I dare to guarantee that he's now delighted that you're going to find him."

  She lowered her voice and said with a smile: "I heard my mother say that once this man has tasted the flavor of power, he can't quit it. It's a taste that even the most beautiful woman can't match... Gao Xiaoguang had only just gotten his hands on a thousand private soldiers for four months before they were cut off. Do you think he could bear it? He's in a mess now!"

  Zheng Yu heard this and her eyes lit up a bit, carefully asking: "Really?" Who was the mother of Qiu Gongzhu? The words she said were worth savoring.

  "It's really true!"

  Zheng You smiled, but the smile had just bloomed and then withered. She sighed softly and said bitterly: "We grew up together, at that time he always protected me, his eyes only had me... But after going to Zhou Di's place for a trip, I thought he would take another look at me, but still have to rely on family power... Ah Qiu, my heart is so painful."

  The autumn princess said with a big smile: "What's there to be afraid of? Wait until you quietly get rid of that Zhang woman. In another two years, he will have completely forgotten her and only think of you."

  In her narrative, Zheng Yu raised her head, her bright eyes looking forward, as if she was fantasizing about the scene of her and him being together without a third woman's interference after many years.

  She has suffered a lot in this life, and what she lacks the least is patience!

  The carriage with the Zheng family crest soon arrived at the Langling Wangfu.

  Looking at the large closed gate, Princess Qiu lifted the curtain of her carriage and ordered: "Go knock on the door!"

  "Yes."

  The sound of "bang bang bang" echoed for a while before the iron gate creaked open slowly. Looking at this old gate, Autumn Princess frowned and shouted: "What's going on? Why is the door closed in broad daylight? Where is your Duke?"

  The two women had been chattering away for half a day without getting anything clear, when Fang Guan Shi hastily walked over. Seeing Zheng Yu and Qiu Gongzhu, both dressed to the nines, he bowed deeply and said in a loud voice: "Ladies, my lord is not receiving guests today."

  "Doesn't he welcome guests?" Zheng Yu knew the weight of this person in Lang Ling Wang's heart, so she smiled warmly and politely, "At this time, how could Xiao Gui not welcome guests?"

  The autumn princess called out from one side: "Go tell Xiao Yu, say that A You has moved the eldest son of the Duan family, and agreed to go see General Duan together this afternoon."

  At this point, Autumn Princess had a smug face, and Zheng Yu on the side also had sparkling eyes. They looked at Old Man Fang, waiting for him to show his delight.

  Old Fang looked troubled as he gazed at the two women, and finally sighed, saying: "But my lord, the prince, has said that for now, he doesn't want to see anyone."

  Zheng Yu slowly put away her smile, took a step forward and asked: "What about Xiaoguang? What is he doing after all? At this critical moment, not only did he close the gate of the mansion, but also refused to see anyone?" Her tone was somewhat urgent, as if she wanted to ask what he was thinking.

  The old steward lowered his head and said after a long while, "My lord the duke slept late last night and has not risen yet... He had instructed that for this period of time, he does not wish to leave the mansion gates nor see anyone."

  He apologized: "Two ladies, I'm really sorry."

  As he spoke, he gestured for the gatekeeper to close the gate of the mansion!

  Zheng You was still in a daze, until Autumn Princess pulled her several times, she woke up. She suddenly took a step forward, blocking the door that wanted to close, and asked urgently: "What did you say? Why did he sleep late last night and hasn't gotten up yet?"

  "This?" Fang Guanshi was somewhat reluctant to speak, but under Zheng You's straight and urgent gaze, he took a deep breath before saying: "My family's prince said that a beauty holding a cup of wine is incomparable to the bloodshed of thousands of soldiers. He now thinks it's quite good to be an idle member of the royal family!"

  "What?" Zheng Yu's usual gentle voice was a little sharp this time. She stared at Old Man Fang in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock, until the gate of the mansion slowly closed and the sounds of people and horse carriages outside gradually quieted down before becoming noisy again.

  Suddenly, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

  She slowly, slowly crouched down, completely disregarding the carefully made-up face, disregarding the luxurious and elegant new dress, squatting on the ground. In an instant, two lines of tears flowed out from between her fingers.

  The autumn princess lowered her head and saw Zheng Yu covering his face, choking with sobs, and unable to catch his breath.

  How many years has it been since she last cried? That damned Gao Xiaoqian! She's really infuriating!

  The autumn princess hurriedly squatted down and tightly hugged Zheng Yu.

  She opened her arms, and Zheng Yu let out a low growl, turning around to pounce into her embrace. She buried herself in Autumn Princess's bosom, sobbing as she said: "Ah Qiu, how could he do this, how could he do this?"

  Zheng You was apparently furious, her usually gentle voice lost its calmness, full of resentment and bitterness. "He didn't care about losing the Black Armor Guard. He didn't care about withdrawing his private army either. The emperor's and empress dowager's words were also ignored by him. His heart only had that seductress in it. Was he only concerned with seeking pleasure with her? Ah Qiu, he wasn't like this before, how could he become like this?"

  Compared to Langling Wang's fondness for Zhang Ji, she and her family, her mother's threat, and what was given to him and then taken away. What made anyone unable to let go of the power that he eagerly wanted back had become a joke!

  He didn't care at all! He didn't care about anything! The only thing he cared about was that witch! That terrible, marriage-destroying witch!

  Zheng Yu spoke while crying, and was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe!

  Just now still full of confidence autumn princess, at this time is also dazed.

  It wasn't until a while later that she stupidly said: "What can be done about this?"

  Zheng Yu also asked, "A Qiu, he is so infatuated with that Zhang woman. But what can be done? His career, that boundless power. Can't even compare to a woman's smile. A Qiu, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid..."

  The autumn princess knew what she was afraid of. She was afraid that she could never replace Zhang Ji, and that her infatuation with Langling Wang would never be reciprocated. She was afraid that he would never let go of that woman, whether she was alive or dead. She was afraid of losing, afraid that this struggle had not even begun, and she had already lost without any chance of turning the tables!

  Divider line ###############################

  Fang Lao, standing behind the gate, heard the sobbing sound coming from outside and shook his head: Just now, when he ordered himself, he was so proud and arrogant! Indeed, sometimes retreating is more effective than advancing all the time!

  He took steps towards the main hall and walked away.

  Before people approached, a burst of laughter had already come from the courtyard. The man's thick and low-pitched pleasant laugh, mixed with the woman's sweet and beautiful voice, made people feel joyful from the bottom of their hearts!

  Fang Lao stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Langling Wang who was lifting Zhang Qi into the air and spinning rapidly.

  These two have become like children! To think of it, the Duke hasn't been this carefree since he was eight years old!

  The old man in charge shook his head and stepped inside.

  His footsteps finally startled the two. The Langling King, who was laughing with a radiant face, put Zhang Qi down and turned to look at Old Man Fang.

  "How was it?"

  Old Fang knew what he was going to ask and took a step forward, recounting the scene from earlier in detail.

  As soon as the sound fell, Lang Ling Wang's face had already sunk, and he said lightly: "No wonder Xianzong always said that without desire, it is just!" He hugged Zhang Qi, stroking her black hair with one hand, looking at the horizon in the distance, his voice a little hoarse. "I just like the thrill of galloping on the battlefield. The two words 'power and influence' are nothing but icing on the cake." He turned to coldly smile: "Old Fang, you answer well! If anyone asks again, you still say so. They all use the two words 'power and influence' to coerce me, I just want to let them know that those things are nothing but useless to me!"

  "Yes!"

  See off Fang Lao, Lanling King hesitated for a moment before lowering his head to face Xiang Ke's bright and shining eyes.

  As she looked at him gently, he also smiled back at her gently. Opening his arms wide, he wrapped them around her and buried his face in the nape of her neck, smelling the fragrance on her body, he whispered: "A Qiu."

  "Alright."

  "Give me a child and we'll enjoy the joy of having children in our courtyard."

  Still contains the joy of playing with sugar and children! He thought he had really put down his power and prestige, and devoted himself to staying in this courtyard with her, ignoring worldly affairs?

  Zhang Qi looked up at him.

  She thought he was joking and wanted to wake him up from his impossible idea. But for some reason, when the words reached her lips, she smiled sweetly and said: "Okay."

  Her eyes curved into crescent moons, her absolutely beautiful face was filled with happiness, as if what he said was exactly her dream.

  In laughter, Zhang Qi hugged him tightly, she covered his lips with hers and said softly and happily: "Good! Don't forget this is what you said yourself."

  The King of Lanling burst out laughing and said: "Good, this is what I myself have said."

  He lifted Zhang Qi up with one hand and spun around again. With his movement, a burst of silvery laughter floated in the air.
