  Baidu search [56 Bookstore]

  Zhang Qi rushed over in a hurry, completely disregarding everything. Baidu search [56 book library] [This book comes from Bai * Xiao * Sheng] However, she was after all just a weak and delicate woman, her reflexes were fundamentally no match for those of her husbands who had been fighting wars for years.

  So she charged forward, but only managed to pounce on the ground, while the arrow shot into a slanting figure at this time with a "hiss"!

  The King of Lanling hastily turned his head, looking at the person who had been shot through by an arrow. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Yang Shoucheng!" It was indeed Yang Shoucheng. As soon as he found someone shooting an arrow at the King of Lanling, he subconsciously rushed forward and blocked the arrow for the King of Lanling.

  Yang Shoucheng was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground with a thud. He stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow, but it had only reached halfway when it became numb and lost all its strength. Looking up at Lanling Wang Chengshi and others who rushed over in a hurry, he smiled and said: "Your Highness, fortunately, I blocked it. Quickly, see if the princess is injured."

  As soon as he said these few words, he tilted his head and took his last breath. The King of Lanling pulled out the arrow with a "whoosh" sound and closed his eyes, saying in a hoarse voice: "The arrow is poisoned!"

  At the same time, King Luoyang hastily ordered, "Quickly, quickly, capture that archer!"

  No need for him to give an order, the people of Luoyang City had already taken action on their own. That person dared to shoot and kill their benefactor, even if they were torn apart alive, it was what they deserved.

  In the chaos of war, Zhang Qi was helped up by someone, and she didn't know how long it had been before she was enveloped in a warm and familiar embrace.

  He tightly wrapped his arms around her, and Lanling King lowered his head. He buried his face in Zhang Yi's raven hair, motionless.

  Just then, footsteps were heard and a group of guards walked in. One of them said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the man has confessed."

  "Who? Who is it?"

  Li gritted his teeth and said: "It's Zheng Shi! The person who took action was a servant of the Zheng family, and Zheng Shi had once shown kindness to him."

  What?

  Lanling Wang and Zhang Gui both looked up in surprise. In his astonishment, Zhang Gui exclaimed, "You said it was Zheng Yu?"

  "Yes."

  Cheng Shi said on one side: "That person has already been invited, Zheng told him that she was ruined by Zhang in this life, and she had thought it through. No matter how she targeted Zhang, Zhang would be fine as long as she killed Langling Wang, killing her sky, only then would she have destroyed everything!"

  Cheng Shi paused for a moment and continued: "That person also said that Zheng later hated the Duke of Guangping to the bone!"

  The King of Lanling couldn't believe it, he had never thought that a woman's hatred could be so terrifying!

  He was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice: "It's me who got General Yang killed." Gnashing his teeth, he asked: "Where is Zheng?"

  Zhang Qi said, "She should be among the Zhou army." During his stay in Luoyang, Zheng's actions were briefly recounted. Zhang Qi muttered to himself, "No wonder she was dragged away that day with a suspicious expression. It turns out she had been preparing for this all along."

  It wasn't just Zhang Qi, but also the other generals, who were all still in a daze for a long time. These men couldn't imagine what their own prince had done to wrong Zheng Shi, that she would be so relentless?

  After Yang Shoucheng was buried, the sky had already turned dark. The King of Lanling walked into the courtyard with big strides and saw Zhang Qi being supported by the maidservants. He stepped forward to support her, "How are you?"

  "Nothing?" Zhang Qi shook her head, during the day, she just tripped and fell, although it was a bit severe, but the child in her belly, except for tormenting her stomach mercilessly, didn't move at all.

  The King of Lanling waved his hand to dismiss the maids, then supported Zhang Qi and looked her up and down before saying in a low voice, "You've lost weight." He pressed his forehead against hers and murmured, "Ah Qi, why have you become so thin?"

  Zhang Qi smiled mysteriously, just as she was about to say something, footsteps sounded and Cheng Shi's voice came from outside, "Prince. General Duan's men have captured several escaped officials of the Zhou Kingdom. They said they want to send them to you. Zheng is also among them."

  The King of Lanling stood up from the ground and saw him move. Zhang Gui pulled his sleeve and begged: "I want to go too."

  "Good."

  Lanling King responded, and Zhang Gui immediately turned around and ordered: "You go find Empress Hu and tell her that Lanling King wants to interrogate Zheng Shi, ask Her Majesty if she can send two maidservants over." She spoke very clearly, presumably because the main person involved, Empress Hu, was still extremely grateful to Lanling King for just saving Luoyang Wang from danger.

  Zhang Qi knew that no matter what she said, Lang Ling Wang would choose to believe her. However, she wanted to spend a hundred years with him, so at any time, she was unwilling to let him misunderstand her, even if it was a possible misunderstanding. Therefore, the Zheng Shi affair, by having the Empress's people come forward and speak, would be clearer.

  The two men got on the horse carriage. Two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at a courtyard. The garden in the courtyard was beautifully decorated everywhere, and it was the villa of a wealthy family in Luoyang.

  Seeing them coming, several eunuchs stepped forward to greet them. At this time, the two old women sent by the empress also arrived. Zhang Gui took a look and saw that the empress had indeed understood her meaning, these two old women were the ones involved in the matter.

  In the courtyard, a raging fire was lit, illuminating the ground with a bright glow. The couch and several chairs were also arranged. Langling Wang held Zhang Gui's hand and sat on the couch, shouting: "Bring Zheng Shi here."

  "Yes."

  Before long, footsteps echoed through the air.

  Hearing the footsteps, Langling Wang raised his head with a cold face.

  As soon as he raised his head, he was stunned. Not only him, but also Cheng Shi Li Jiang and others were also stunned.

  Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they stared at the woman walking slowly towards them.

  The woman had disheveled hair and tattered clothes, with her snow-white skin faintly visible underneath. She moved step by step, and on that once beautiful face, there were not only two clear palm prints, but also tooth marks on the neck. The corners of her lips were broken and torn.

  Another glance at her exposed skin revealed purple claw marks all over her body.

  This woman looks like she's been thoroughly ravished!

  She is Zheng Yu.

  Never thought that I would see Zheng You in this state, Lanling King was speechless.

  Zheng Yu walked with her head down, after a while, she slowly lifted up her numb eyes.

  She raised her head and met Langling Wang and Zhang Qi.

  In an instant, her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the two of them disbelievingly. She shrilled: "Why didn't you die?"

  This scream made Langling Wang close his eyes. When he opened them again, he asked slowly: "Ayu, how did you end up in this situation?"

  As soon as the words came out, Zheng Yu burst into a shrill laugh. She pointed at Zhang Qi and shouted: "Ask your woman, ask this poisonous woman, what she has done to me?" She laughed loudly: "Your woman ruined me, she handed me over to those Zhou people, letting them trample on me in public, how dare you ask me how I ended up like this?"

  Zheng Yu's words had barely fallen when an old woman sent by the Empress took a step forward. She sneered, "Zheng Shi, at this point you're still making empty accusations? Don't you remember that day when you suggested to Her Majesty that Zhang Shi and Yuwen Hu were acquaintances, and that Her Majesty should force Zhang Shi to act as an intermediary? Now that you've fallen to this state, it's simply a case of Her Majesty having you do what you said back then. You're just going to be an intermediary now; if those Zhou people humiliate you, won't you take your own life to preserve your reputation?" The old woman continued, "Besides, wasn't it you who said that the Prince of Lanling had cold-shouldered you, so you'd already been sleeping with He Shi? You've even had several abortions. You're already a woman who's been shared by many men; why bother using this as an excuse now?"

  This old woman was indeed capable, and after a few words, she clearly explained the cause and effect. When Zheng Shi had previously forced Zhang Gui to go to Zhou Ying as a lobbyist through the empress, Lanling Wang stood up abruptly. When the old woman mentioned that Zheng Yu had long been sleeping with He Shiren, Lanling Wang stared at Zheng Yu in disbelief, his expression inevitably filled with sadness and disappointment.

  He grew up with her, although he later wronged her. In his heart of hearts, he always hoped that Zheng Yu could be happy. He also thought that as long as she let go of her obsession, she would be able to attain happiness.

  Who would have thought that Zheng Yu is now both venomous and lustful.

  Cheng Shi stepped forward and said in a low voice to the King of Lanling, "Your Highness, this is true. The princess was originally on good terms with the Empress."

  The King of Lanling understood.

  He closed his eyes and muttered: "Is there anything else to say?" Suddenly he opened his eyes and shouted: "Zheng, do you have anything else to say?"

  He stood up, drew his sword with a swoosh, and then walked towards Zheng Yu step by step.

  Slowly, the sword tip swept across, and the cold sword pointed at Zheng Yu's throat. After forcing Zheng Yu to lift his head, Prince Langling said in a low voice: "A Yu," his voice was filled with boundless disappointment, "how did you become like this?"

  Zheng Yu raised her turbid eyes, she listlessly looked at Lang Ling Wang, looking at this face that she had been infatuated with since she understood the ways of the world. Suddenly, she burst out laughing.

  Zheng You laughed so hard that tears came out. As she laughed, her voice became hoarse and she muttered: "Chang Gong, if Zhang Shi were gone, would you treat me well?" With tears streaming down her face and a smile, she stared at him blankly and asked word by word: "If she were gone, would you love me till we grow old together?"

  She asked with focus and persistence, as if Langling Wang's answer was of utmost importance to her.

  The King of Lanling lowered his head and looked at her, furrowed his brow in thought for a moment. He slowly sheathed his long sword and replied softly, "Is that all, Ah Gui?" He slowly turned his head, staring blankly at Zhang Gui's solitary figure amidst the flames, and muttered again, "Is that all, Ah Gui?"

  He turned around, looking at Zheng Yu, and the King of Lanling replied seriously: "If there was no Ah Gui, I might have lived with you, just like most couples in this world, living a serious and calculating life, without knowing why they are alive." He lowered his eyelids, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he sighed lightly: "But after having Ah Gui, I don't even want to think about that kind of life. Life is short, only a few decades. If in these short decades, one still lives in a daze, not knowing why they are born, and never laughing until death, then what is the meaning of this life?"

  At this point, Langling Wang said faintly: "Such days, how can it be said to be loving? It's just two people getting together. A Yu, my greatest achievement in this life is meeting A Gui."

  The last sentence fell, Zheng You suddenly raised her head and burst out laughing. Laughing, she suddenly pounced on Langling Wang, and her chest was directly hit by the sharp sword blade!
