"But Ah Gui!" Ah Lu said hastily: "But they all say that Lou Qiuniang is very wicked!"
Zhang Qi interrupted Ah Lu again, who was worried. Under the radiant light, her eyes were exceptionally clear and calm. "Ah Lu, do you believe me? If Gao Changgong must marry, I would rather he marry this Lou Qi girl."
She pulled down a willow branch, gently swaying it back and forth as she smiled and slowly said: "Everyone in the world knows that this Lou Qiuniang won't treat me well... As long as I meet such a mistress, he'll be willing to arrange everything for me, letting me leave him and still have a good ending."
She was always convinced that as long as the King of Lanling was willing to protect her, he would definitely be able to do his best. Even if they were to go to the state of Chen, which was far away, if his Black Armor Guards could escort them all the way, who would dare to come and bother them?
Of course, this is the last resort. Even if she retreats to a remote place, are there any other happy lands that can accommodate her? She still has to try her luck, and she still has the opportunity to fight for it.
At this moment, Fang Lao, the steward, walked up to Zhang Gui with big strides. He came to her front, bowed to her and said seriously: "Zhang Ji, please do not panic, why not wait until the king returns before saying anything?" The noise outside was so loud that everyone said the empress dowager and Lou Shi would issue an order to expel Zhang Ji, he felt he should do something.
Zhang Qi nodded and said softly: "En, I'm not flustered."
Fang Lao Guan Shi looked up at her and saw that there was not a hint of panic on her face, he couldn't help but think of Zheng Yu who had left in a flurry earlier. In his heart, he sighed silently, thinking: A thousand-year-old aristocratic family, even a private-born daughter is better than those newly-rich noblewomen!
Having obtained Zhang Qi's answer, Fang Lao Guan Shi walked away with a peace of mind. The Lanling Wang Fu was once again quiet and peaceful.
Outside, the sound of drums was still faintly audible.
According to Ah Lu's information, the drumbeat was just a small victory won by He Lanling Wang three days ago. In that battle, he drove out 5,000 Zhou soldiers who had invaded the border.
It's not a big deal to win such a battle. But for some reason, the messengers who delivered the news were beating drums and gongs all the way, as if they wanted everyone in Ye City to know. Moreover, Langling Wang was favored by the people of Honglou because of his good looks and talents. When the news arrived, all the people of Honglou came out to celebrate for him, making the whole city lively.
Listening to the drumbeats still coming from outside, Zhang Gui thought to herself: It seems that the Gao imperial clan is going all out to support Langling Wang.
Outside, the drums and music were in harmony, but Langling Wang himself did not return, nor did Lou Qi's daughter. At this time, Zhang Gui took a step towards the main hall - now was not the time for her to worry about it.
Time is ticking away bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, night falls. In the blink of an eye, the only light in the world comes from lanterns.
This evening seems especially dark. There isn't even a bright moon or stars in the sky.
As soon as night fell, Zhang Gui went to bed. She didn't know how long she had slept when a strange fragrance suddenly wafted into the bedroom. As the fragrance filled the room, Zhang Gui, who had been sleeping lightly, quickly sank into a deep sleep.
A moment later, two dark shadows slipped into the bedroom. Facing the beautiful woman who was sleeping soundly with her clothes half undone, these two people lowered their heads in a very proper manner.
They didn't even dare to look at Zhang Qi, took out a brocade quilt and wrapped her whole body in it, then put Ah Lu, who was sleeping in the side hall, on the bed, and carried Zhang Qi out of the window.
The whole process was very quiet, and the thirty guards sent by King Lanling to guard the place seemed to have fallen asleep collectively on this night, with no one appearing and no one blocking.
Very soon, the two men in black brought Zhang Yi to the outside of the wall. There were two more people waiting outside, and with their help, three people jumped out of the Lanling King's mansion wall silently.
In the alley, a glossy and luxurious carriage was waiting there. The mouths and hooves of the two fine horses were all wrapped with cloth. As soon as Zhang Gui got on the carriage, the two horses stepped forward simultaneously and quietly drove out of the Wangfu area.
The night is so quiet.
Before long, the carriage drove out of the three streets and into the crisscrossing alleys of Dong Street.
This is where the bustle is, with red buildings everywhere, lights shining brightly all around, and the sound of music and laughter faintly audible, with people's voices never-ending. At this point, a few men in black clothes started talking in hushed tones, "How much further?"
"It's almost time."
"She is truly a stunning beauty. I see her every day, but only tonight can I hold her in my arms..."
"Shh! Shut up! Are you looking for trouble?"
The man in black immediately accompanied a smile and said: "Seventh brother, if it weren't for you, how would I dare say this?"
The man in black at the back spoke in a softer tone, "If you're feeling stifled, you can go to Cuilou tonight and have some fun. I'll take care of the expenses. As for this person in the carriage, she's not someone I can look up to. Don't be fooled by her silence now, when the day comes that she can show herself, everyone will have to kneel down."
"Seventh brother, I know."
"Hurry up and finish this matter, you and I will leave Ye City immediately. The money we have on hand is enough for us to enjoy our lives."
"Yes, yes."
The two stopped talking and the carriage continued steadily forward. After walking through another two alleys, Qi Ge said, "We're here."
He shouted out the two words, putting his fingers on his lips and letting out a sharp whistle.
Divider line
With this cry of the bird, a very ordinary house on the left side creaked open its gate. Under the swaying lantern light, two men with different heights and builds walked out.
The carriage drove into the gate under the respectful welcome of the two, and as soon as the courtyard door closed, the two men in black jumped off the carriage, bowed their heads and said, "Please receive the noble."
The thin man walked forward and lifted the car curtain. He shone the lantern in his hand into the sedan chair, nodded and said, "Very good."
The tall one heard the thin one say this and clapped his hands, "pa pa pa" applauding.
Amidst the crisp applause, two slender youths carried a wooden chest out. After placing the chest in front of the two men in black, the youths retreated.
The tall one walked forward and said in a low voice: "They told us upstairs that you should hide first. These are rewards for you."
"Yes, yes."
"Go ahead,"
Two men in black lifted a wooden box onto the horse cart, and before long, they drove the cart away into the darkness of night.
The two of them left. The tall one walked to the thin one's side, and under the light of the lantern in his hand, the tall one took a glance at the beauty in the carriage wrapped in brocade quilt, who whispered, "Your Excellency has made great efforts this time."
The thin man smiled wryly: "Isn't it because there's something to consider? Wait a few more years and you won't need to be so careful."
"He turned to the two young men and said: 'Now it's your turn!'"
"Yes."
Two delicate youths received the order. They reached out and lifted Zhang Gui down from the carriage, then walked towards the third side door at the back of the mansion.
Next to this mansion, there is actually a red building, and it's the largest and most prosperous Xiu Yue Lou in the entire Ye City! Coming out of the third side door, passing through an alley, I arrived at the backyard of Xiu Yue Lou!
Two young men, carrying Zhang Gui, arrived at the back yard of Xiuyue Building. Just then, a creaking sound was heard from that side, and the wooden door opened. As the two young men walked in, a fat man wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "Everything has been arranged."
"Let's go."
"Yes."
Under the leadership of this fat man, two young men passed through layers of courtyards and arrived at the brightly lit and bustling back of Cuimonth Building.
"That fatty pointed at one of the rooms and said: 'It's that room. All the people who passed by have been cleared away, you two should hurry up.'"
"Good." The two young men's voices were slightly shrill.
They hugged Zhang Qi and hurried forward. Before long, they went up to the second floor. As they walked along the corridor, they could clearly hear the moans and laughter of men and women coming from the rooms on both sides.
The three of them walked hastily and finally arrived outside a room.
That fatty hastily pushed open the door of the house.
In this room, the red and green were piled up, decorated with great luxury and elegance. Two young men stepped forward quickly, hastily putting Zhang Qi on that wide bed, after which one of the young men turned his head around and scolded the fatty: "Get out!"
"Yes, yes."
When that fat man went out, his sleeves swayed, and with his movement, a piece of wood fell into the corner, emitting an extremely light and faint fragrance.
That fatty went out, and the young man behind him hastily closed the door. He looked at the young man standing beside the wall with tears in his eyes, and choked: "Third brother, His Majesty said that if you succeeded in this matter, your brothers and parents would all be well taken care of. You can rest assured."
The young man standing beside him had his eyes cast down, and there was no sadness in his gaze. Upon hearing his companion's words, he spoke in a low voice, "I know, I'm relieved too."
As he spoke, he slowly took off his clothes, "You also go out, remember to guard this place well, half an hour later, bring those people over according to the plan!"
"Yes."
"Also, I'm afraid of pain, so you take care of it. Make it quick and don't let my corpse fall into the wrong hands. Don't let me lose my life and ruin Your Majesty's plans."
It is.
Hearing his voice choked with sobs, the young man beside him turned around and glared at him fiercely, scolding: "Wipe away your tears and leave quickly!" Neither of them noticed that Zhang Qi on the bed had quietly moved.
"Yes."
The young man behind him wiped away his tears fiercely and bit his teeth before exiting the room.
As soon as the door closed, the young man couldn't help but redden his eyes again.
Just as he turned his body and was about to return, a severe pain suddenly struck the back of his neck! Before this young man could even fall to the ground, someone had already picked him up and dragged him away.
In the room, the young man standing beside Zhang Qi'er was taking off his clothes while looking at the beautiful woman sleeping sweetly on the bed. Hearing the sudden sound of drums and music outside, the young man said hoarsely: "Your Highness... I'm just a eunuch, please don't bear a grudge against me!"
He threw his clothes aside, bent down and began to undo Zhang Qi's outer garment with his hands.
Just then, he sensitively discovered something unusual behind him.
"Who?"
The words had barely left his lips when a sharp pain shot through the back of the young man's neck. His eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
As soon as the young man fell to the ground, two people walked out. They dragged the young man away and closed the door again. Only a white-clothed handsome young man was left, along with Zhang Yi lying motionless on the bed.
The handsome young man sat on the bed, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zhang Qishuang's tender face, stroking her eyebrows, stroking her eyes, and when he reached her lips, he suddenly smiled softly and said: "Qishuang, stop pretending, the effect of that intoxicating medicine has been neutralized by my people, you can open your eyes now."
It's Xiao Mo's voice!
