"You'd better tell me now, or I'll be too ashamed to go out in public!"

Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue with a half-smile, and finally wiped her mouth in disgust, "Shuanghua was covering your mouth just now, I don't know if you wiped it or not! It's so dirty!"

"It wasn't wiped!"

Lan Linxue replied with a grin, "So, you'd better answer me quickly, or I'll start kissing you endlessly."

Qin Kou'er glared helplessly at Lan Linxue before nodding and saying, "Yes! I'm jealous! Jealous to death! If you dare to let all these women serve you, I'll make them jump into the river. And I guarantee you, with just one word from me, they absolutely won't dare not jump. And they'll jump right in front of you!"

Hearing Qin Kou'er's words, Lan Linxue immediately chuckled secretly, like a little fox, and pulled Qin Kou'er into her arms without a second thought. "I knew you wouldn't let me run wild! Hehe, I love seeing you jealous! Let them jump, as many as they want, don't worry, I won't stop you! As long as you're willing to be jealous for me, I don't care about anything else!"

Qin Kou'er leaned on his shoulder, unable to help but laugh and sigh, "I say, Your Highness, even if you want to add some romance, you don't have to go through all this trouble for others! But don't mess with me either, when I get jealous, it can be really deadly!"

Lan Linxue nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I don't like women! I only invited them here to make others look bad!"

Qin Kou'er laughed and pushed Lan Linxue away, looking at him with a smile, "Are you going to trip up Lan Xiuyuan again? Just because he saw my arm!"

Lan Linxue immediately widened her eyes, "This isn't serious! Let me tell you, he sexually assaulted my brother and sister-in-law! If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll think I'm dead! Humph, I'm definitely not going to let him off the hook!"

"So what exactly do you plan to do with all these women? You're not going to send them all to someone else's bed, are you?" This time, Qin Kou'er was quite curious.

Lan Linxue stood up, sat back down on her swing, and scoffed arrogantly, "Then I'll exhaust him! They're brothers, how can you be so cruel! It's so unfair!"

So what exactly do you want to do?

The more Lan Linxue said this, the more Qin Kou'er felt that this matter would become bigger and bigger.

Lan Linxue glanced at Qin Kou'er, then blinked and said with a wicked smile, "Lan Xiuyuan always prides himself on being a noble young master, right? He never even glances at these women. Hehe, and he'll definitely think I've brought so many women to his bed. Dream on! If I were so easy for people to guess what I'm doing, would I still be second only to the emperor?"

Why are you being so long-winded? What exactly do you want to do?

Qin Kou'er frowned, becoming increasingly curious about Lan Linxue's plan.

Seeing that Qin Kou'er had actually been captured by him, Lan Linxue became even more smug. Shaking the tassels on her body, she asked triumphantly, "Guess what I'm going to do?"

Qin Kou'er's patience had run out. Her face darkened, and she turned her head away, "Tell me if you want, or don't!"

When Lan Linxue saw that Qin Kou'er was really angry, she quickly shook her over and whispered a few words in Qin Kou'er's ear.

Qin Kou'er's eyes widened as she listened.

After Lan Linxue finished speaking, Qin Kou'er turned around in shock to look at this person who had bewitched the world.

"You're so mean! How could you come up with such a terrible idea?"

"How about that? Amazing, right!"

Lan Linxue was extremely satisfied with her idea, and leaned back on the swing triumphantly, saying, "Lan Xiuyuan thought I would seduce him with another woman? He has no imagination at all! How could I do something that everyone can see through! This time I'm doing the opposite; I'm going to make sure he can see it but can't have it! I'll make him suffocate!"

Qin Kou'er slapped her forehead rudely, "You had someone drug him with aphrodisiacs, and then you left all the women outside his window groaning, but had people guarding the windows to prevent anyone from going in! Isn't that utterly despicable? What if he gets too pent up? He might end up childless!"

"How did you know?" Lan Linxue's face immediately turned cold upon hearing Qin Kou'er's words. This woman even knows about men's matters; is she having an affair?

"I know everything!" Qin Kou'er's eyes widened. "Of course I know! How could I not know about these low-life matters of the martial world? But I want to ask you, do you know that if no one helps to counteract the effects of aphrodisiacs, it can really kill someone?"

"Of course I know!" Lan Linxue immediately straightened up, his eyes widening to display his masculine charisma: "Do you think there's any aphrodisiac in the world that the palace doesn't have? Ever since I can remember, I've seen countless of these things in my old man's drawer. Hmph, the women in the palace may not know anything else, but when it comes to aphrodisiacs, they're practically impossible to guard against!"

Qin Kou'er immediately became curious, "Since you've seen him, Lan Xiuyuan must be very knowledgeable, so how could he have fallen for your trick so easily?"

Hearing Qin Kou'er's question, Lan Linxue immediately became smug again: "You don't understand! The women in the palace use aphrodisiacs according to certain methods. But the courtesans on the Qinhuai River are different. I heard before I came that the girls on these pleasure boats are so skilled that they could take down not just a man like you, but even an elephant. I believe that tonight, as long as I, the Crown Prince, give the word, they will definitely not disappoint me."

The thought of Lan Xiuyuan being so suffocated that he looked like a turtle made Lan Linxue laugh for a month.

Qin Kou'er stared blankly at Lan Linxue for a long time before shaking her head helplessly. "It seems I really underestimated you! The palace is indeed a deep and dangerous place; even when we're just playing around, there are people like you who gouge out eyes! Lan Linxue, you'd better know your limits, otherwise, be careful that even the heavens won't stand for it and end up getting caught up in it too. Then you'll be accused of not helping you!"
