Lan Linxue felt extremely excited.

Aside from finding Qin Kou'er, this little vixen, as his wife, the only other thing that could possibly excite him in his entire life was making his fifth brother childless.

Qin Kou'er, however, felt that she must be going crazy.

It seems that she and Lan Linxue have done every embarrassing and shameful thing in her life in the past few days.

For example, right now.

Lan Linxue actually grabbed her hand and stood openly outside the Fifth Prince's door, shamelessly climbing through his window.

"Fifth brother? Are you alright? Do you need me to fetch the imperial physician for you?"

Lan Linxue, with her feet tilted to one side and her head tilted to the side, grabbed Qin Kou'er with one hand and chuckled as she knocked on Lan Xiuyuan's window with the other, grinning mischievously as she offered her help from outside the door.

Lan Xiuyuan was already gritting his teeth with hatred inside the room, but the burning desire within him was tormenting him to the point of wanting to die.

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty! I am fine, Your Majesty need not worry. You should get some rest!"

"That won't do!"

Lan Linxue flatly rejected the suggestion and leaned even closer to the window, saying, "You don't look too well. Did you eat something bad? How about I find two girls to give you a massage to relax your muscles? I've heard that the hands of women from Jiangnan can cure all ailments!"

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty! I am far from needing a woman to treat me!"

Lan Xiuyuan felt as if a fire was burning fiercely inside his body, as if it would soon melt him completely.

And that man's most proud symbol was now independently clamoring for a gentler comfort.

Lan Xiuyuan was never a saint; he had beautiful women in his own residence. But at this moment, though his body burned with desire, his mind was perfectly clear: he absolutely could not allow any woman to get close to him. Because Lan Linxue was clearly trying to humiliate him in front of the whole world, and he had to save face, even if it meant death. Otherwise, all the suffering he had endured for over a decade would have been for nothing.

Moreover, he was never someone Lan Linxue could manipulate at her whim.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation before he fell ill. Perhaps soon, the next person who would want to die would be Lan Linxue outside the door.

With great effort, Lan Xiuyuan raised his head and glanced at Feng Zhouyuan, who was working hard beside him. He decided that he had to fool the ghost at the door.

Lan Linxue peered through the hole he had made in the doorway and saw Lan Xiuyuan hunched over, tossing and turning on the bed. She couldn't help but laugh even more smugly.

"Fifth brother, since you don't want to be served, then your elder brother will have them sing you some tunes at the door to make you feel more comfortable!"

After saying that, Lan Linxue didn't wait for Lan Xiuyuan's agreement, and instead directed the girls to start singing "little songs" at the door.

As soon as the sound came out, Lan Xiuyuan almost fell off the bed.

That wasn't a tune at all; it was a group of women moaning and groaning at the door.

Such a voice would make even a normal person's blood boil, let alone Lan Xiuyuan who was under the influence of aphrodisiacs, after hearing just a few words.

As expected, Lan Xiuyuan showed an extremely painful expression, rolling around on the bed, as if he were living a life worse than death.

Feng Zhouyuan frowned as he watched, his hands moving faster. If he continued like this, Lan Xiuyuan would soon die from his blood boiling.

Qin Kou'er stood at the door, looking up at the sky with particular frustration.

Although Lan Linxue claimed she wanted to come and see Lan Xiuyuan's disgraceful state, in reality, aside from eavesdropping by his door, she wasn't allowed to peek at all. Instead, she had to stand at the door listening to these women's half-dead moans, which was utterly unbearable.

Lan Linxue, however, seemed completely oblivious to the problem.

He felt that the more Lan Xiuyuan stirred things up, the more comfortable he would feel. For example, right now, he felt it was necessary to add fuel to the fire.

Looking behind her, Lan Linxue found two of the prettiest and gentlest girls and carefully instructed Qin Kou'er, who was standing next to her, to stand obediently outside the door and watch the show, and absolutely not to go inside, otherwise she would get a corn on her eye if she saw something she shouldn't.

Then he kicked the door open with his big foot and walked in leisurely with the two girls.

"Fifth brother! Your elder brother was still worried about you and decided to come and see you. Are you alright now?"

As he spoke, he led his men from the outside into the house.

Lan Linxue's sudden entrance startled both Feng Zhouyuan and Lan Xiuyuan.

Feng Zhouyuan reacted even faster. Before Lan Linxue could even get inside, he quickly grabbed a handful of the unprepared antidote, rushed to Lan Xiuyuan, pried open his mouth, and fed it to him.

Just as he finished doing all this, Lan Linxue walked in with her people.

Lan Linxue was stunned to see Feng Zhouyuan standing in front of Lan Xiuyuan's bed.

"What are you doing in Fifth Master's room?"

Feng Zhouyuan quickly turned around, knelt on one knee, and greeted Lan Linxue: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Lan Linxue frowned. "I'm asking you a question."

"Yes! Your Highness, because the Fifth Prince wanted to discuss some matters with me, he asked me to wait for him in the room beforehand. However, I did not expect that the Fifth Prince would feel unwell after returning, so I have been taking care of him in the room!"

After listening, Lan Linxue frowned and strode over, glancing at Lan Xiuyuan on the bed.

Meanwhile, Lan Xiuyuan swallowed the antidote while the two were talking.

Lan Linxue only needed one glance to know that Lan Xiuyuan must have just eaten something, as there was still a trace of residue on the corner of his mouth that he hadn't wiped away.
