  Zheng You rushed forward, watching as she charged towards the sword's blade. The Prince of Lanling grasped his sword, unmoving, and with a "pffft" sound, the blade entered her flesh. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zheng You looked up at the Prince of Lanling. Seeing that she was about to speak, the Prince of Lanling coldly withdrew his gaze, then swiftly and cleanly pulled out the sword that had been lodged in her chest!

  The sword entered his body, and when it was pulled out, it was the moment he died. Zheng Yu did not expect him to be so ruthless, Zhang spat out a string of blood foam and fell silently to the ground. Until death, her eyes were still wide open.

  The King of Lanling knelt down, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked Zheng You's eyelids. With one stroke, Zheng You's eyelids still didn't close. He said in a low voice: "Ah You, until now you still can't understand? What makes you stubbornly cling to suffering? What made you step by step walk to this point today? I may be wrong, but who hasn't taken a detour in life, who hasn't paid the wrong price? Growing up is about paying the price. As long as you're still young, if you're wrong, just turn back. Sometimes you have to give up fame, wealth and status. If you don't know how to let go, how can you gain anything?"

  His voice came softly and lowly, saying that after finishing this sentence, King Lanling stretched out his hand to touch her eyelids again, and this time, she closed her eyes.

  After dealing with Zheng You, Prince Langling looked very tired and said hoarsely: "Those Zhou people will not be seen today."

  "Yes."

  After glancing at Zheng Yu's body, Lang Ling Wang said in a low voice: "Bury her properly."

  "Yes."

  That night, the two were exhausted and fell onto the couch, embracing each other as they fell into a deep sleep.

  The next day in the afternoon, when Zhang Gui opened her eyes, Lang Ling Wang was gone. Knowing that he was busy with many things, Zhang Gui also didn't take it to heart.

  At this time, Langling Wang had come again to the villa of last night.

  Standing with his hands behind him under a hibiscus tree, Langling Wang said in a low voice: "Bring Su Wei over."

  This time among the several high officials captured by Zhou's men was this man whose great name he had long heard, but whom he had never seen.

  Before long, the sound of footsteps came.

  Far away, he saw Langling Wang. Su Wei's expression was complex and she stopped in her tracks. At this time, all the maids had already retreated.

  After a pause, Su Wei walked up to Prince Langya. Coming to his back, he called out in a low voice: "Prince Langya Gao Changgong?"

  The King of Lanling slowly turned his head back.

  Looking at this tall and slender young man, King Langling slowly said: "You helped my woman, I'll help you once. You can go!"

  He waved his hand after saying that.

  Su Wei didn't leave, he stared straight at Lang Ling Wang for a while before saying in a low voice: "Looks like you're really good to her." He lowered his eyes and said: "With just 500 personal guards, you managed to kill your way into Luoyang City, Gao Changgong, you're not bad!"

  The King of Lanling stared at him and said lightly, "How I treat Ah Jie doesn't need outsiders to comment on. Whether or not I can do something also doesn't need you to comment!" Although he was prepared to let Su Wei off, towards this Zhou person who had taken away Zhang Jie and made him extremely sorrowful, he didn't have the slightest good feeling.

  When he heard this, Su Wei burst out laughing. As he laughed, he said with a snort: "You're just one step ahead of me." At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in Su Wei's expression, and he gazed at Prince Lanling with a daze, muttering to himself: "You're just one step ahead of me."

  With Su Wei's cleverness, he had always firmly believed that if he could meet Zhang Qi one step earlier, Zhang Qi would definitely like him.

  The King of Lanling slightly curled up the corners of his lips and said lightly, "Luck is originally a part of one's strength. Being able to meet the right person at the right time is indeed a match made in heaven."

  The Prince of Lanling said: "I heard that Ah Qi's former maid servant, Ah Lu, is with you. I hope you will treat her well."

  "This doesn't require your explanation!" Su Wei coldly laughed again, turning his head and slowly saying: "The outcome of this moment can't decide anything. Gao Chang Gong, you're only twenty or so now. I hope you can live a long life, forever protecting Ah Qi. Otherwise, one day she'll still return to my side."

  Su Wei strode out with big steps.

  Watching Su Wei leave, Langling Wang suddenly thought of when he entered the city, the people of Luoyang knelt down together, the expression of King of Luoyang and Empress Hu, and suddenly thought of Empress Hu forcing Zhang Qi to go to Zhou as an envoy.

  Slowly, King Langling pursed his thin lips.

  The siege of Luoyang was lifted, and whether it was Empress Hu or Zhang Gui, they were all eager to leave this place that had exhausted them. Therefore, after resting for two days, they set off towards Jinyang.

  Zhang Gui sat in the carriage, next to Langling Wang. He had been a bit silent for the past two days. He had just lifted the siege of Luoyang and made a brilliant achievement in the battle at Mangshan, his reputation once again shook the world. However, there was not a hint of joy on his face.

  He didn't speak, and Zhang Qi was also resting with her eyes closed. As they walked, Zhang Qi's expression changed, and she called out to the outside, "Stop for a moment."

  "Aiqi, what's wrong?"

  Faced with Langling Wang's inquiry, Zhang Qi did not respond and hastily rushed out of the carriage, running to the side of the road to vomit.

  A wave of vomiting that turned her stomach upside down, Zhang Qi got up with a pale face after throwing up everything she had eaten in the morning. Seeing this scene, Prince Lanling furrowed his brow and summoned the maids to ask: "How long has the princess been feeling unwell?" After a pause, he asked again: "Hasn't she seen a doctor yet?"

  An old woman replied, "The princess does not want to see the doctor." Seeing that Prince Langling was about to get angry, the old woman muttered, "This old slave thinks that the princess is probably pregnant."

  Are you pregnant?

  The King of Lanling was stunned on the spot.

  Could it be that Ah Qiu's pale face and haggard appearance were not only due to being trapped in Luoyang, day and night, but also because she was pregnant?

  He stared for a moment, then turned his head and asked urgently: "Pregnant? Are you sure?"

  The old woman lowered her head and replied, "For nearly half a month now, the princess has been vomiting every morning, and her menstrual period hasn't come yet. According to my estimation, the princess is probably two or three months pregnant."

  Is Ah Kie pregnant for two or three months?

  The King of Lanling wanted to laugh loudly, but he habitually maintained his dignity, and for a moment, his expression changed constantly.

  At this time, Zhang Qi had already wiped her mouth dry. She walked towards Prince Langling. As soon as she approached, Prince Langling carefully wrapped his arms around her waist and said softly: "A Qi, are you uncomfortable?"

  He and the old woman's conversation had been heard by Zhang Qi, at this moment she smiled slightly and shook her head: "No."

  "It's really not."

  "It's really not!"

  The King of Lanling obviously didn't believe her, he glanced at Zhang Yi's belly. Suddenly stretched out his hand, picked her up around the waist and carefully put her on the carriage.

  He refused to put her down on the carriage and continued to hold her horizontally in his arms.

  He obviously hadn't come back to himself yet, constantly lowering his head to look at Zhang Qi's abdomen, and even reached out to touch it a few times.

  Zhang Qi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. She snuggled into his arms, smelling his scent. Suddenly, she felt very much at peace.

  At this time, Zhang Gui heard Langling Wang ask: "A Gui."

  "Alright."

  I'm very happy.

  Zhang Qi replied softly: "Me too. I'm also very happy."

  The Duke of Lanling tightened his arms, embracing her, and buried his face in her raven hair. When he spoke again, his voice was hoarse to the extreme, "Ah Gui, I did many wrong things before. From now on, I won't make mistakes again."

  He suddenly said: "You were pregnant with a child at that time, and you still rushed out like this. I...I didn't even help you up in the first place, Ah Qiu, do you blame me?"

  Zhang Qi knew that he was referring to the incident where Zheng's servant shot a poisonous arrow at him. How could she blame him for this? She was just a weak woman, but he was her husband, and at that time, even if it meant sacrificing her own life, she couldn't let him be harmed by others.

  After a pause, Zhang Gui said firmly: "Of course I won't blame you."

  Next. When Zhang Gui thought he was going to say something else, Langling Wang fell silent.

  As he fell silent, a commotion arose outside, "It's snowing."

  Zhang Qi lifted the car curtain. Sure enough, outside snowflakes fell continuously, looking at the dense and intricate pattern. I'm afraid that snow will fall quite heavily.

  As Zhang Qi stared at the snowflakes in a daze, she felt a sudden tug on her waist, and it was the extremely hoarse voice of Lang Ling Wang that came, "Ah Qi."

  "Uh-huh."

  "I won't let you leave me again, nor will I abandon you alone."

  "I know."

  "I will live well, until I raise my children into adults."

  For some reason, as soon as he said this, Zhang Qi suddenly felt a sourness in her nose and tears burst forth from her eyes.

  In his memory, he was only in his thirties, now he is twenty-four or five years old. If he doesn't leave the state of Qi, they fear that there won't be many more good days to live.

  She couldn't say it out loud, but she had always longed for him to leave the state of Qi willingly, and not under duress. Because she knew that if she forced him to leave, even if he succeeded in escaping, he would still harbor resentment towards her whenever disaster struck the state of Qi, and perhaps never find joy again in his life.

  The King of Lanling did not notice Zhang Yi's abnormality. He still buried his face in her hair and said, "Xiao Mo has left."

  "What?" Zhang Qi's voice had a small hint of surprise. Just a small one.

  The King of Lanling sighed and said, "He wrote a memorial of over 30,000 words, then sealed it with his official seal and left. When Your Majesty discovered this, he had already been gone for two days. This man is still clever, and although Your Majesty sent people to chase after him, they returned empty-handed."

  The King of Lanling paused and said, "In that memorial to the throne, Xiao Mo proposed thirty suggestions and analyzed the gains and losses of the rulers of Zhou and Chen. In the end, he said that with a ruler like Qi State's, even if Guan Zhong were reborn or Sun Shu were in power again, it would be impossible to change the fate of the state. Therefore, all those thirty suggestions of his are just the ravings of a madman. His Majesty was so enraged after reading them that he almost had the remaining members of Xiao's household dragged to the execution ground and beheaded."

  At this point, Langling Wang fell silent for a moment, and Zhang Gui also fell silent for a moment.

  She once said that Xiao Mo would leave Qi Di, and now he really left.

  It's good that he left, leaving this place of right and wrong. With his talent, it shouldn't be difficult for him to protect himself in a chaotic world.

  For Xiao Mo, Zhang Qi's feelings were very complicated. In this feeling, there seemed to be hatred, resentment, and gratitude, with a sigh of regret and reluctance to part. Countless emotions were entangled together, but in the end, she only wished for his happiness, wishing that he could find someone to spend his life with. Even if he couldn't, as long as he was willing to put aside his own feelings and marry, have children, that would be perfectly fine too.

  Today is the big finale, as there are only two more chapters left in the main story and I won't be able to add any more. However, every evening, I will send out an extra chapter of side stories to tell you about people and things that interest you. Given my experience with writing side stories for "Meng Gongying", it's very likely that the side stories will be even better than the main story!
