As she spoke, Qin Kou'er whispered something in Lan Linxue's ear, and Lan Linxue's expression brightened as Qin Kou'er spoke.

Finally, Qin Kou'er smiled smugly, "If my plan goes smoothly, I guarantee these two empresses will fight to the death, and then we'll reap the benefits even more!"

Lan Linxue gave a thumbs up: "You're really smart! That's the way to do it! I'll take care of anything you need!"

Qin Kou'er nodded immediately, then glanced at the sky: "It's getting late! I have to hurry back! There's a ton of stuff waiting for me to take care of in the capital! I'll have Hai Tian send you the silver notes first!"

Lan Linxue thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Qin Kou'er, "Why don't you bring some people to my place tonight? You've put in so much effort, I should at least show my appreciation. Besides, I'll take you to the Children's Academy so they can all know who has done them a favor!"

Qin Kou'er thought Lan Linxue's suggestion was good, but she hesitated: "Is this a good idea? Shouldn't we be separated now? Being too close might offend the Emperor..."

Before Qin Kou'er could finish speaking, Lan Linxue's eyes widened: "Did I call you here to play around? We're talking about serious matters, okay? Besides, the Emperor said today that he agreed to let me help you get tickets. Shouldn't we discuss this properly?"

Seeing that Lan Linxue was unhappy, Qin Kou'er nodded: "Alright then! I'll bring Yan Nuo with me tonight! Send someone to pick me up!"

When Lan Linxue saw that Qin Kou'er had agreed, she was overjoyed. "Okay, then it's settled! I'll have Lao Qi pick you up tonight, and we'll take care of everything else together!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, and the two agreed to meet for dinner that evening.

Lan Linxue was in a state of extreme excitement when he came out of the palace, not only because Qin Kou'er was going to have dinner with him tonight, but also because he felt that Qin Kou'er could only truly enter his life if she saw what kind of person he was with.

So when he returned to the mansion, he immediately told Xiaoxian to prepare more for dinner, as Qin Kou'er was coming over for dinner.

Xiao Xian had already learned about the legendary future mistress from Gui Tou, so when she heard that Qin Kou'er was coming over tonight, she became extremely nervous. Then she started to lead her servants and even Gui Tou and the others to sweep the yard and tidy up the house.

Upon hearing from Lan Linxue that Qin Kou'er had actually given them one million taels of silver, Shuanghua immediately stood up and said to Lan Linxue expressionlessly, "Tonight I will toast Miss Qin three bowls of wine! Don't say a word then!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately shouted, "What are you drinking for! If you want to drink, drink it yourself! You're not allowed to drink with Kou'er!"

Shuanghua acted as if she hadn't heard anything and turned to leave. Lan Linxue hurried after her, anxious. He absolutely couldn't let Qin Kou'er drink today; how could a pregnant woman drink? It was utterly insane.

Qin Kou'er returned to her residence in a good mood, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw Lan Xiuyuan standing with his hands behind his back, admiring the paintings on the wall with great interest.

The smile on Qin Kou'er's face faded slightly.
