Lan Linxue was stunned by Qin Meiying's words and looked up at Qin Meiying with great surprise.

Qin Meiying smiled slightly, patted Lan Linxue's hand reassuringly, and said softly, "I know about Kou'er's pregnancy!"

Lan Linxue showed a hint of embarrassment in front of her mother, and lowered her head shyly, saying in a low voice, "Was it my father who said it?"

Qin Meiying rarely saw her son with such an expression, so she smiled even more gently and said, "Actually, I already knew about this when Kou'er first came to see me. However, it wasn't the time for your mother to tell you personally. Your mother knows that what you're most anxious about right now is to marry Kou'er. Otherwise, even if you two can wait, the child can't. So, I told your father that Hu Tianyong's matter can't wait any longer; let's resolve it within the next few days."

Lan Linxue was very surprised. "Hu Tianyong is a powerful and deeply rooted figure. How can he be moved so easily? Isn't that too hasty? If Hu Tianyong were so easy to move, why would Father have waited so many years?"

Lan Shanyang immediately lowered his head and smiled: "I've waited all these years, just waiting for you to grow up, and also waiting for the Qin family to return and take action themselves. Hu Tianyong looks no different than before, and his power seems even greater. But let me tell you, many of his key figures already have my father's people in them. Moreover, his roots only appear strong; in reality, many people are secretly dissatisfied with him, ready to bite him at any moment. Therefore, Hu Tianyong is now like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered!"

Lan Linxue immediately smiled and said, "I knew Father Emperor was not such a hapless person. Moreover, I sent people to infiltrate Hu Tianyong's subordinates several times, but they were always intentionally or unintentionally repelled. It is clear that Father Emperor has already made arrangements and does not want me to interfere!"

Lan Shanyang snorted and glared at Lan Linxue: "You have the nerve to say that. Your people all look like they have your own smell. Do you really think these people can get close to Hu Tianyong? That's ridiculous!"

Lan Linxue wasn't angry when she heard Lan Shanyang say that. She just chuckled and said, "My men are certainly not as brave as Father's men. So, I kept quiet and didn't get involved later."

At this point, Lan Linxue turned to look at Qin Meiying: "I wonder how Mother intends to deal with Hu Tianyong?"

Qin Meiying took a deep breath and said with a smile, "You and Kou'er have already set up the whole scheme. Now all we have to do is activate it! Hu Tianyong is now focusing all his attention on Kou'er, single-mindedly wanting to solidify her identity as a member of the Qin family. This is precisely the best time for us. Don't forget, there's still one thing that could cost Hu Tianyong his life!"

After speaking, Qin Meiying looked at Lan Linxue with sparkling eyes: "What is that matter you're talking about?"

Lan Linxue pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Qin Meiying: "The position of Crown Prince!"

Qin Meiying nodded approvingly, "Yes! The position of Crown Prince. The position of Crown Prince is still vacant, which is the perfect time for us to make our move. Hu Tianyong's distraction gives Xu Ming an opportunity. I heard from your father that Kou'er placed that Ghost God Talisman in Hu Tianyong's residence?"

Lan Linxue nodded immediately. He had told Lan Shanyang about this as soon as he returned, so it wasn't surprising that Qin Meiying knew about it now.

Qin Meiying nodded, "That's right! Let's leak this information to Xu Ming now! Guess what Xu Ming's reaction will be?"

"Xu Ming will not only be shocked, but he will also be convinced that Hu Tianyong is determined to succeed this time! He always makes mistakes in situations like this. He will spare no effort to steal, that's the first thing, and the second thing is that he must find a way to bring down Hu Tianyong!"

Qin Meiying nodded. "Yes! Although they were in cahoots back then, they are now our biggest enemies. If the other side doesn't fall, they'll never be able to get the person we've been supporting into the position of Crown Prince. At the same time, we must let Xu Ming know that Hu Tianyong has been gathering evidence against him all these years. In this way, we can get both sides on good terms, and we'll achieve our goal quickly. The next seven days will be the most crucial time."

Lan Linxue felt that every word Qin Meiying said hit the nail on the head, and she couldn't help but admire her mother.

"But, Mother, Xu Ming isn't stupid. How could he so easily believe that the Ghost God Talisman is in Hu Tianyong's hands?"

Qin Meiying shook her head. "You still don't understand someone like Xu Ming! He's led troops for many years and values ​​military power immensely. Moreover, the only thing that allows him to rival Hu Tianyong is military power. Therefore, he would never allow even the slightest possibility of such a thing to exist. Besides, that military tally wasn't Kou'er's; it was sent by Jiang Ming. As long as there are rumors circulating, that's enough. Kou'er replaced the tally with a fake one, and this story of tricking Hu Tianyong will inevitably spread. Let Chen Kuangzheng handle this. He's closer to Jiang Ming now, so if he does this, Xu Ming will definitely not suspect anything! As long as he believes that, that's enough."

Lan Linxue nodded as she listened: "That's a good idea! I'll arrange for Chen Kuangzheng to pass this message on to him later. As for the fact that Hu Tianyong has evidence against him, let's leave it until last and let Lan Xiuyuan bring it up."

At this point, Lan Linxue smiled coldly: "Xu Ming will definitely cause a huge uproar for that Ghost God Talisman. If Father Emperor puts more pressure on Hu Tianyong at this time, Lan Xiuyuan will not be able to sit still. He will definitely confront Xu Ming immediately. At that time, he will bluff and scare Xu Ming. Then Xu Ming will know who Hu Tianyong really is. In this way, Kou'er's goal of using each other's hands to send them both to hell will be achieved."
