Qin Kou'er's expression slowly darkened. "Didn't I tell you to send people to keep an eye on things? How did this happen?"

"Those watching her didn't notice anything unusual. She only said she needed to make her master a cup of tea and discuss something. When she came out, the person with her was knocked unconscious. And then this happened!"

Has anyone gone to look for her?

"Yes!" Jun Yannuo nodded. "Feng Zhouyuan, who serves the Fifth Prince, went to see her! Just now!"

"Son of a bitch!"

Lan Linxue immediately jumped up and cursed. Qin Kou'er, however, remained silent.

"That beast Lan Xiuyuan! I drugged him with aphrodisiacs, and he poisoned me right after! He kept an eye on me, and while I was focused on him, I had someone else poison Lao San. And he even used your people. He knew perfectly well that Lao San was still under my supervision, and I hadn't even interrogated him yet. If something went wrong and he died in my room, that would be murder to cover it up. What a brilliant plan, killing two birds with one stone! He used your people to kill my prisoner. When we both die, he'll be unharmed. It's absolutely ingenious!"

Lan Linxue turned her head and looked coldly at Qin Kou'er, "Now you see, it's not that I'm ruthless! It's just that your enemy is too powerful! Lan Xiuyuan can make the two of us flustered even when he's lying in bed. You can imagine how many people have fallen into his hands over the years."

Qin Kou'er turned to look at Lan Xiuyuan's house, her face expressionless.

After a long silence, he turned to Jun Yannuo and asked, "Have our people gone in to check? Do they know what kind of poison it is?"

Jun Yannuo shook his head, his expression growing increasingly serious. "Our people can't get in! Jiang Ming is standing at the door like a mad dog, saying that Zhao Ling'er was poisoned by our people, and we absolutely cannot let our people get close again."

Qin Kou'er immediately turned to look at Lan Linxue.

Lan Linxue stormed forward, shouting, "That bastard Jiang Ming dares to bully people now! Tell him to get out of here!"

Qin Kou'er took a few quick steps and grabbed Lan Linxue.

"Jiang Ming dared to block your way even though he knew you were his men, so he probably has a backup plan. Since Lan Xiuyuan has already made his move, he will definitely not let my men get close easily. If you rush in so hastily, Jiang Ming will receive orders and refuse to back down. If you end up rushing to the Emperor, you won't be in the right!"

"What should we do? We can't let the third brother really die in the house!" Lan Linxue said anxiously, pulling Qin Kou'er's hand. "I'm fine, but if you're really involved, things will get complicated!"

Qin Kou'er suddenly gave a cold laugh, her eyes flashing with icy light. "If Lan Xiuyuan thinks he can stump me with such a small matter, then he really underestimates me! You don't need to worry about this; I'll find a way to get people in. You hurry up and make a show of it, first stabilize Jiang Ming's men, and find the imperial physician to treat Lan Jiayuan. I'll handle the rest!"

With that, Qin Kou'er released Lan Linxue's hand and quickly walked out with Jun Yannuo.

Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er's retreating figure with great concern.

Shuanghua walked over and said, "Let's go! Let's go over there and calm things down first. Since Qin Kou'er said so, I think she must have a way. We can't let Fifth Master really benefit from this!"

Lan Linxue gave Shuanghua a sinister look, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Lan Xiuyuan, you just wait! I'm not done with you for scheming against my wife!

Qin Kou'er brought Jun Yannuo out, but remained silent without uttering a single word.

"Sect Master, why don't I lead some men in and charge in, or perhaps drug them as well? At least let's rescue Lan Jiayuan first!"

"Foolish!" Qin Kou'er glared coldly at Jun Yannuo. "Can we still use such methods at this time? Lan Xiuyuan is throwing mud at us, clearly trying to test our strength and loyalty. Hmph, he kills Lan Jiayuan, wants us to pin the blame on Lan Linxue, and then he'll find a way to save us. That way, if we save Lan Jiayuan, it means we're not on his side after all. If we don't, it means we've completely broken ties with Lan Linxue. In the end, Lan Linxue can't do anything, but we'll be completely dependent on Fifth Master Lan for survival. Lan Xiuyuan's intentions are indeed extremely vicious, and his calculations are incredibly shrewd! This time, we've truly learned our lesson! It's just a pity that I, Qin Kou'er, am never someone who's easily fooled! Go, invite Grandma Qin over!"

Jun Yannuo glanced quickly at Qin Kou'er, "Sect Leader, Grandma Qin is an elder of ours! It wouldn't be appropriate if she were recognized!"

Qin Kou'er looked at Jun Yannuo with an unfriendly expression.

"At this point, can you find someone more skilled in detoxification than the old man? Lan Jiayuan absolutely cannot die! Besides,"

At this point, Qin Kou'er slowly turned around, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think we can keep some things hidden for long! Go and invite Grandma Qin!"

"yes!"

Jun Yannuo knew that Qin Kou'er's second repetition was a death order, and no one was allowed to contradict her.

"Is it necessary to go in?" Qin Kou'er turned around again, her face cold, and said, "Go and put those poisonous snakes and beasts that the Five Poisons Sect sent over into Lan Jiayuan's courtyard. Remember, don't put any poisonous ones in! Just scare them all out."

"yes!"

Go!

Qin Kou'er waited until Jun Yannuo had walked far away before turning around, coldly looking in the direction of Lan Xiuyuan's courtyard, and slowly clenching her hands.

He tried to test her patience, but he picked the wrong person!

Lan Linxue stood by the window, coldly staring at Lan Jiayuan's pale face.
