  Unlike Lanling Wang, Zhang Gui has always been a refreshing and elegant figure in the 56th book library.

  Li Ying poured herself another cup of wine, and as she slowly sipped it, she said softly: "Ah Gui, I was young and foolish in the past, and I may have wronged you in some way. I hope you won't hold it against me." After a pause, she continued: "It wasn't until after I got married that I suddenly realized, Ah Gui, you are actually much better than Zheng Yu."

  Perhaps it was her humble origins, but Zhang Qi's temperament had a quality that Zheng Yu did not - no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would never let her heart become dark, and would never trap herself in pain and resentment. Even when she was at her most helpless, her eyes were always clear and bright, as if she had obtained good fortune without losing her life. She would not complain about heaven or others, nor would she do things that harmed others to benefit herself; instead, she would actively strive to create a brilliant new life for herself.

  It seems that this girl had once wisely seen a broader world and stood decades later reminiscing about the past. She already knew that in one's life, the most important thing is to live well, strive to make every journey good, and never owe oneself. Even when the future was dark and there was no way out, she would still live with dignity and integrity. She would also never punish herself for past mistakes. Two years ago, when Zhang Yang announced to everyone that he wanted to marry Lang Ling Wang as his wife, how many people ridiculed her? That should be the entire city of Ye, the entire Jin Yang! Even she herself, when seeing Zhang Qi, was scornful and disdainful. But every time she faced up, it was with a clear and bright face. This is because she knew what she wanted, and she also knew that even if she failed, she could start over from scratch, and at worst, she would have nothing... As long as one is still alive in this world, there will be opportunities, and spring will come again. Perhaps in her eyes, dignity has always been something given to oneself, not by others.

  This sunny and clear personality is actually more comfortable than Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu, her vision is too narrow, and the resentment accumulated over the past two years has made her a lonely and terrifying person.

  In the end, living is an attitude, and when the attitude changes, so does the mood.

  Never thought that Li Ying would praise herself so sincerely. Zhang Qi couldn't help but smile, she turned her gaze to Lang Ling Wang, her bright eyes seemed to be expecting him to also say a few words of praise.

  Such an expression made Li Ying laugh, and the King of Lanling shook his head helplessly. He stretched out his hand and stroked Zhang Qi's black hair, saying: "Let's go."

  After pulling Zhang Qi up, he nodded at Li Ying and the two of them turned around and left. Watching this couple, Li Ying let out a long sigh and thought to herself: Ah Yu, you can still let go now...

  Night has fallen again.

  In the western courtyard, a maid walked forward and said softly: "Princess, the night is cold and dewy..." Before she could finish speaking, Zheng Yu suddenly turned her head, her face pale with anger, and shouted: "What princess? What am I still a princess of?" In her rage, she rushed twenty steps away and swept all the wine cups, tea bowls, and pastries off the table!

  It's been two months since she promised to spend time with Lang Ling Wang, and it's already been two months. In these two months, she never found the opportunity, every night when she brought up that bowl of porridge, it was either taken by Zhang Qi or intercepted by Fang Lao and that Yang Shou Cheng. For more than two whole months, this princess consort couldn't even stay alone with her husband for a moment!

  Time is running out, and soon Gao Chang Gong will force her to divorce. She knows his personality, and when that time comes, if she still wants to make excuses, he will definitely be impatient. Yes, he will definitely be impatient!

  Pushing down the panic in her heart, Zheng Yu thought: Don't worry, don't worry, Gao Zhan will take action, he promised to take action! This idea, actually she was no longer so sure, after all, now everyone in the world is saying that Zhang Shi is a rebirth of Da Ji, a calamity and a beauty, even if Gao Zhan had any ideas, he couldn't help but suppress them.

  Since he has given up on Zhang Qi, he naturally doesn't bother to lend a hand to help himself!

  Just as Zheng Yu was getting anxious about the approaching deadline, in September 563, after being weakened somewhat in the previous battle, the Northern Zhou's vitality finally recovered a bit. The Duke of Zhou, Yuwen Hu, thought that the power of Qi was becoming stronger and stronger, and he made up his mind to send an envoy to the Turks, preparing to join forces with this enemy who was also feared and hated by Qi to attack Northern Qi. Even if they couldn't win a big victory, weakening the national strength of Qi would allow the two countries to return to a balance point, which was what Zhou hoped to see.

  The Northern Zhou sent Yang Jian, the Duke of Daxing, and Wang Qing, the Duke of Taiyuan, to promise Kibi Khan that regardless of whether they won or lost in their attack on Qi, Emperor Wu would be willing to marry one of his daughters as empress.

  By now, this alliance has been formed. The coalition forces of the Turks and Northern Zhou are ready to strike at any moment, preparing to invade Qi territory!

  In this case, Gao Zhan, who was greatly flustered in his heart, hastily sent Langya Wang to the border.

  Zheng You did not expect that when she was still worried about the three-month deadline, Gao Changgong suddenly received an order from Gao Zhan and had to lead troops to rush to the border.

  This time, Zhou Ren and Tujue came prepared, with a mighty momentum. Gao Changgong's troops were all cavalry, so naturally they couldn't take Zhang Gui along the way. Fortunately, there was that rumor, and he guessed that Gao Zan wouldn't dare to lay hands on Zhang Gui either. Even so, Gao Changgong still left three hundred personal guards for Zhang Gui, and set out on the expedition the day after receiving the imperial edict.

  After seeing off Gao Changgong, Zhang Qi sat in the courtyard, dazed. She and he had not been separated before, but there was no separation that made her so worried, almost as soon as they parted, she began to miss him.

  Seeing her slender black dress unable to withstand the cold wind, Fang Lao hurriedly walked closer and said in a low voice: "A Qiu, go back to your room."

  "En." Zhang Qi responded with her mouth, but her feet didn't move.

  Fang Lao looked at her and said with a sigh: "Right, madam, when Chang Gong left, there was something he entrusted to me to give to you."

  "What is it?"

  "Madam and the old slave have arrived."

  With Zhang Qi arriving at Langling Wang's study, Fang Lao rummaged through and pulled out four pieces of silk paper from a book.

  Zhang Qi took it over and unfolded the first one, she exclaimed: "This is a divorce letter?"

  "Yes."

  Zhang Qi hastily opened the next one, which was also a divorce letter. This should be two copies of the same document. On it was stamped the large seal of Langling Wang and signed with his name and handprint.

  Two copies of the divorce papers should be enough, how could there be four? Zhang Qi muttered to herself as she flipped to the bottom.

  On the piece of paper below, two thumb-sized "divorce papers" appeared clearly before her eyes!

  Two divorce certificates, two resignation letters! Seal and signature are all complete!

  Zhang Qi was shocked, and Fang Lao said on the side: "Ah Qi, Chang Gong has said that these two copies of the divorce agreement and the separation agreement will be kept by you. If nothing happens, then when the three-month deadline arrives, give the divorce agreement to Zheng Shi and let her sign it. If she makes any unusual moves, then directly use the separation agreement."

  Fang Lao let out a long sigh and continued, "Chang Gong also said that Zheng Shi's temperament has become somewhat eccentric, and her thoughts are not something ordinary people can fathom. He also said that in the face of defeat, one who can remain calm and composed, without surprise or resentment, is someone who knows what can be done and what cannot be done. Only a few wise individuals possess this quality, and Ah Jie is one of them, but Zheng Shi is not. Therefore, after much deliberation, he fears that in the end, they may have no choice but to use this divorce letter."

  Zhang Qi did not think that Langling Wang had also prepared a leave letter for Zheng Yu.

  She had known him for so long, and she actually knew that Lang Ling Wang cherished that childhood friendship very much. He was also unwilling to think badly of Zheng Yu from the bottom of his heart. It can be said that compared to his means towards others, he was unusually tolerant of Zheng Yu.

  And so, Zhang Qi had always thought that this marriage would drag on like this, even if the deadline arrived, Zheng Yu would find an excuse to drag it out, and Lanling Wang, he was afraid, would also compromise.

  Seeing Zhang Qi staring blankly at the two words "divorce letter", Fang Lao sighed again: "To say, A Yu was also raised by this old slave, and the scene of her playing with Chang Gong in the past seems to be just yesterday. Writing this divorce letter, Chang Gong is also reluctant, but he specifically entrusted this matter to this old slave, saying that no matter what, he cannot hurt a single hair on A Qi because of his temporary reluctance!"

  Zhang Qi heard this and said in a low voice: "Chang Gong, he has a good heart." She knew how difficult it was for him to write this letter of resignation, but for her sake, he still wrote it!

  After seeing Zhang Qi put away the four pieces of paper, Old Fang smiled to himself, and without realizing it, his eyes turned towards Zhang Qi's belly. He thought to himself: I wonder when I'll get to hold my little master? As soon as this thought arose, Old Fang felt like he was walking on air, and his whole body became full of energy.

  Watching Fang Lao walk out with a smile, Zhang Qi blinked in surprise and thought: Just now when mentioning Zheng Yu, this old man was still full of regret and sorrow, how did he become so happy all of a sudden?

  Like Zhang Qi, after sending off Prince Langling, Zheng Yu got on his horse carriage and returned to the Zheng manor.

  Zheng Mu was waiting in the main hall, and after her daughter had made a respectful bow to her, Zheng Mu waved away the maidservants and said warmly: "A Yu, Gao Zhang Gong has left, this is a good opportunity!"

  Zheng Yu understood her mother's meaning, and a smile bloomed on her face. In a soft voice, she said: "I also think so, this is a rare opportunity." As she spoke, her voice dropped even lower, and she sneered: "This must be fate."

  Although her voice was small, Zheng Mu heard clearly. She nodded and said: "That's right, this is the will of heaven." She looked at Zheng Yu and slowly said: "Our Zheng family can't lose Gao Changgong as a son-in-law, so this is the will of heaven!"

  Zheng Yu heard her mother agree with her words and suddenly smiled all over her face. She raised her head and said, "Mother, do you have a good idea?"

  "I want to hear A Yu's."

  Zheng Yu lowered her head, narrowed her eyes and said: "I think that to get rid of Zhang Shi, without letting Long Gong bear a grudge against me, this matter needs to be handled cleverly." She looked around and saw that there was indeed no one, then leaned in close to Zheng Mu and whispered: "Mother, if we can let the Emperor spend a night with Zhang Shi..."
