The girls were speechless.

  Does he even want to abandon his husband's dignity? How can you say that with such righteous words?

  In silence, Autumn Princess looked at Zheng Yu with a heartache and couldn't help but say in a sharp tone: "Chang Gong, she has hands and mouth, let her take the medicine herself."

  The King of Lanling lowered his head, scooped up a spoonful and sent it to Zhang Qi's lips, then gently wiped away the excess medicine that spilled out, and replied seriously: "She is willful, if I don't force-feed her, she won't eat."

  Arrogant? Who isn't arrogant here? Who doesn't have more qualifications to be arrogant than her? She's not a kid, why does she need him to coax her so patiently just to take some medicine?

  Zheng Yu felt his chest swelling uncomfortably.

  She turned her head to the side. It wasn't until a while later that she turned back, saying softly: "Chang Gong, look at Zhang Ji staring at you, let her handle this small matter of taking medicine herself."

  The King of Lanling frowned and said, "Get out and wait!" His voice was very cold.

  Many women were shocked by his behavior. While Zheng Yu was still standing stubbornly in place, Li Ying and others had already bowed their heads and retreated. Zheng Yu didn't leave until Autumn Princess pulled her away. Even after they left the courtyard, she kept turning back to look at him, stubbornly watching as he carefully fed the woman medicine drop by drop. He usually got impatient with everyone, but when looking at this humble woman, his eyes were filled with focus, an unwavering focus.

  A bowl of medicine was soon finished. Zhang Qi was put on the couch, and Lang Ling Wang kissed her lips and whispered: "Sleep well."

  Having said that, he walked away with big strides.

  As soon as the King of Lanling left, Ah Lu rushed to Zhang Qi's face and asked anxiously: "Ah Qi, I heard you screaming in the middle of the night yesterday. Were you having a nightmare?"

  Zhang Qi nodded and quietly recounted what had happened last night.

  Lu was stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Qi, "Qi. Let's just drop it then, anyway he treats you really well."

  Zhang Qi smiled and shook her head, "You don't understand... He's just delaying the engagement. At most half a year, or maybe not even that long, he'll still marry Princess Wang. That Princess Wang will still be Zheng Yu."

  "But isn't it enough that he's good to you? I think the king doesn't like Zheng Yu at all. Even if he marries her, he'll still only care about you."

  How naive this statement is.

  Zhang Qi looked at A Lu, stroking her face with his hand, shaking his head and saying: "You don't understand." How could she comprehend the respect that those aristocratic men had for their legitimate wives, which came from deep within their bones? Out of this respect, he would give his legitimate wife the right to govern the entire inner courtyard, and have the idea of having children with noble blood with her!

  How could she understand the complex and intimidating family forces that had decided to remove an obstacle?

  As long as he still believes in Zheng Yu and thinks that Zheng Yu is good to her, then even if he takes himself to his death, she will only have one dead end.

  Moreover, she would rather kill herself before encountering bandits than hand over her life and dignity to Zheng Yu for humiliation!

  Her life and death are not something that people like Zheng Yu can control!

  After a pause, Zhang Qi cleared his throat and said, "He's now on high alert, so you don't have to worry about it. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Mo will take care of it for us."

  She turned her head, looking at A Lu, Zhang Qi said seriously: "What he said, sending people to Jiankang to capture your clan relatives, you don't have to worry about it, that must be a bluff. The road is so far, he won't make a big deal for a few unimportant people. I also know what he says is right, with this appearance of mine, even if there are more elite guards, it's hard to avoid being intercepted by others. But I still have a way." If she hides her face and joins the envoy team heading to Chen Guo, things will be simple. The medicine for hiding one's face must be obtained from Xiao Mo.

  She remembered that this year, the current Emperor suddenly died during a performance, the old emperor passed away, and the previous emperor ascended to the throne. Envoys would be sent to inform Chen and Zhou of the two countries. That was her chance!

  Zhang Qi said this in a very small voice, Ah Lu opened her eyes wide and followed with a low voice: "Ah Qi, I know."

  Zhang Qi stood up.

  She smiled at Ah Lu, and softly said: "He wants me to be his concubine happily, I will... Ah Lu, in these last days, I'll spend them well with him, let him not always be annoyed, let him be happy every day. This way, even if we part one day, we can give each other a memory."

  Just talking about leaving, her heart was also twisted and couldn't breathe. However, what's the use?

  She didn't want to be sober, but she had no choice but to be sober.

  Zhang Qi stood up.

  After a nap, Zhang Qi woke up in the afternoon. After taking a bath, Zhang Qi looked refreshed and radiant again.

  Zhang Qi suggested going out for a stroll after finding Fang Lao.

  It is unknown what King Lanling told him, but this time Zhang Gui's request was readily accepted.

  He and Ah Lu sat in a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by several guards, Zhang Qi left the mansion.

  Divider line

  The streets were bustling with excitement. Gao Yan was a capable emperor, and under his rule, the people of Qi lived better lives day by day.

  Sitting in the carriage, watching people coming and going on the street, Zhang Gui always had a smile on her face.

  Since she decided to spend the rest of her days with Gao Changgong, she relaxed. Life is short, if you don't cherish the present, it's too hard to live.

  In a building, a woman stuck her head out and exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't that the carriage of the Prince of Lanling? And isn't the woman inside Zhang Ji?"

  Upon hearing Zhang Ji's name, the pavilion became lively. Several noble ladies stuck their heads out. One of them smiled at the woman and said: "Empress Hu, shall we call Zhang Ji over to chat with us?"

  As soon as the noblewoman's voice fell, another elegantly dressed young woman frowned and shouted: "Nonsense! With her status, how dare she come to this place?"

  The Princess of Guangping, Hu Shi, was very interested in this proposal. She smiled and said: "It's also good to call Zhang Ji over." As she spoke, her eyes fell on a tall and handsome young man from a noble family who was walking slowly down the street. Looking at his tightly bound, strong and powerful thighs and buttocks, Hu Shi swallowed hard.

  Feeling that her actions had been noticed, Madame Hu hastily called out in a covering manner: "Come over here and go call Zhang Ji over. Tell her that Princess Guangping of the Imperial Family and friends are gathering together. Invite her to join us as well."

  "Yes."

  Before long, a maidservant from the Guangping King's palace arrived in front of Zhang Gui's carriage and blocked it. After repeating Hu Shi's original words, she said impatiently: "Zhang Ji, let's go. Don't keep our princess waiting."

  The silk hat swayed gently. Zhang Qi's soft voice came, "Thank you, Princess Wang, with a different identity, Zhang Qi won't make a fool of himself."

  Having said that, she lightly ordered: "Let's go."

  The maid stood still for a moment, then hastily went up to the attic and repeated Zhang Qi's original words.

  As soon as this was said, a noblewoman burst out laughing and exclaimed: "This Zhang woman is indeed self-aware."

  "Not true!" said Li Yi, the eldest daughter of the main house of the Li family from Longxi. She was calm and level-headed, always analyzing things with reason and evidence, which earned her great respect from this group of friends.

  "In the eyes of noble ladies, Li Yi said: 'Truly humble people tend to be reserved about their status. When someone mentions it, they easily become irritated and angry. Only truly carefree people can ignore these things. Because whether she is humble or not, no longer needs others' comments, nor does she care about others' opinions. In my opinion, Zhang Ji has indeed grasped this.'"

  Zhang Qi didn't know about this scene on the attic.

  She was still gazing at the street scene with great interest.

  At this moment, the carriage swayed, and a tall and handsome young man blocked the way of the carriage.

  Under the gaze of everyone, this young man came to the carriage house, bowed deeply to Zhang Qi in the horse-drawn carriage, raised his head, and with a red face, said seriously: "I am Li Qing from Longxi. Since I saw you kill a Langya Wang's courtesan on the street, I have been impressed by your demeanor and couldn't sleep at night. Hearing that you want to marry a husband as a wife, I, Li Qing, though not talented, wish to ask for your hand in marriage."

  As he said this, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Qi with bright eyes, his gaze tense and excited to have finally spoken out his mind.

  The number of people surrounding him increased.

  Since Prince Lanling released those words yesterday and used two human heads to open the road, those who heard Zhang Gui's declaration all put down their thoughts. Who would have thought that in less than a day, fools came, they were very excited.

  Zhang Qi looked at Li Qing.

  Li Qing's figure is slender and tall, his skin is fair and smooth, his features are clear-cut and handsome, his eyes are bright and piercing, he looks like a young master from a noble family.

  As someone with his identity, shouldn't he have known what Langling Wang did yesterday? Knowing that and still coming here shows he's a man of great heart.

  As Zhang Yi's hat fluttered, a clear warning voice came from behind the guard, "Ji!" Ah, yes, people from Lanling Wangfu were also watching this commotion on the side.

  Zhang Qi's lips moved slightly, and in Li Qing's expectant gaze, she slowly shook her head and said: "Lang Jun didn't come through his parents or relatives, but came secretly, did he?"

  Li Qing's face turned even redder, he opened his mouth to refute, but then heard Zhang Qi say: "Go back. I don't like you!"

  "I don't like you!"

  These five words are really concise and to the point!

  Li Qing's face turned pale, and he stared blankly at Zhang Qi's carriage as it drove away. Meanwhile, the passersby behind him, who had overheard their conversation clearly, began to discuss it among themselves.

  In the carriage, Ah Lu looked at her with some discomfort and whispered to Zhang Qi: "Ah Qi speaks too directly."

  Zhang Qi said in a soft voice, "You don't think about it. Yesterday, Gao Changgong just established his authority, and today someone blocked the road to confess to me. Isn't this slapping him in the face? If I don't speak straightforwardly and satisfy Gao Changgong, Li Qing will be in danger. Besides, I'm not interested in him anyway, so speaking out is also a way to cut off his thoughts and prevent him from wasting too much time on me."

  She turned around, looking at Li Qing's figure. The emotions of this kind of noble family were the deepest and most true. Behind him, there was still the consideration of his family and the intertwined interests. She would never be possible with someone like that.

  Zhang Yi's carriage drove away without anyone noticing. On the other side of the street, Gao Changgong, wearing a bamboo hat and with his hands behind his back, smiled as he watched the scene unfold.

  Feeling his joy, a guard smiled at his companion behind him and said, "Now the Duke can rest assured." Zhang Gui was always eye-catching, and as soon as her carriage appeared, the street became lively. Those who were walking on another street also heard about it. So, after hearing the news of Zhang Gui from afar, the Duchess deliberately turned around to come over. She didn't expect to see such a good show.

  Now that's settled, the king can finally put his mind at ease.
