"Alright! Alright! Alright! Now get out of here, my head hurts!"

As he spoke, Lan Linxue slumped back in his chair, feeling utterly defeated. He really needed to take better care of himself, or he might die young.

"So, Your Highness, are you here to handle a matter or to repay the debt?"

Lan Linxue wanted to rest, but Qin Kou'er had no intention of letting him go.

"Get things done! Get things done! I'll do anything for you, even if it means working like a slave!"

Now, as long as it doesn't cost money, Lan Linxue will do anything!

Alas, even a hero can be brought down by a penny!

Shuanghua looked at Lan Linxue, expressing her sympathy for him.

Having a wife who is too rich is not actually a particularly comfortable thing.

"Okay, as long as the job is done, the money is negotiable!"

Qin Kou'er stared at Lan Linxue seriously again, "Tell me, what are you going to do about this? How do you plan to release Lan Jiayuan?"

Lan Linxue rubbed her head wearily and said weakly, "I haven't decided yet..."

"Return the money if you haven't thought it through!" Qin Kou'er said crisply. She couldn't stand anyone looking so miserable. "Who are you trying to fool with that heartbroken look? How come you didn't even need to think before you attacked Lan Xiuyuan!"

Lan Linxue was truly about to cry this time. Pointing at Qin Kou'er, she shouted, "I chopped off Lan Jiayuan's hand, and I was the one who said I would assassinate the Crown Prince. Now you want me to take back what I said? Do you think that's easy? Why don't you come up with a plan and I'll do it!"

Seeing that Lan Linxue was indeed taking this matter to heart, Qin Kou'er relaxed and said, "You are the unparalleled Crown Prince, why should I think about it? Besides, I can't figure it out either!"

Qin Kou'er was playing it safe, waiting for Lan Linxue to come and take care of her.

In this officialdom, which also involves the military, Lan Linxue is absolutely the only suitable candidate.

Lan Linxue sighed deeply, snuggled up to Qin Kou'er, rested her head on her shoulder, and sighed again, "Wife, I'm worried too!"

Qin Kou'er glanced down at him, then burst out laughing, and shrugged, "You're never serious! Hurry up, don't think I don't know you've been plotting against Lan Jiayuan all along!"

Lan Linxue raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qin Kou'er. The two looked at each other and then laughed together.

Lan Linxue pulled Qin Kou'er into her arms. "You understand me best, my wife! Lan Jiayuan cannot die. I cut off his hand to get the seal he possessed. But Fifth Brother genuinely wanted to kill him with a single blow. That way, Xu Ming would lose his supporter and naturally switch allegiance to Lan Xiuyuan under Hu Tianyong's smooth talk. Therefore, I absolutely cannot let Lan Jiayuan die. Since you've caused this incident, let's combine the two into one and deal with Lan Jiayuan's matter first!"

Qin Kou'er looked up at Lan Linxue, "But what should we do? The Emperor is still on our radar! We can't just brush it off with a casual remark!"

Lan Linxue glanced at Qin Kou'er, then coldly looked ahead and said, "That old man is all bark and no bite. This kind of thing has happened countless times, and he's never actually killed anyone! He's just a balancing force that lets us run wild! The Emperor's side is a minor matter; we'll just say what we mean! The key is to find a legitimate reason to get Lan Jiayuan out smoothly, and to make him hate Lan Xiuyuan fiercely! Otherwise, it won't be enough for him to hate only me!"

"Hasn't he already come to hate the Fifth Prince? The poisoning incident isn't that serious, is it? He's still writhing in bed right now!"

Lan Linxue shook her head, "Not big! As long as he's not dead, it's definitely not big!"

"So what do you want to do?"

Lan Linxue thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said as if she had a new idea: "Lan Jiayuan is simple-minded, but also reckless and suspicious. If we want him to listen to us, we must let him know that Lan Xiuyuan is determined to kill him. As long as they obey, I will have a way to rescue him."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Qin Kou'er blinked and looked at Lan Linxue.

"What other way is there! It's just sophistry and specious nonsense! People say what they want to say, and people do what they want to do. In the end, everything depends on what people say! As long as our explanation is reasonable, we can get Lan Jiayuan out of here. However, there's one crucial point: Lan Xiuyuan! Lan Xiuyuan is the inspector this time, and ultimately, only he can make the final judgment. That's a bit difficult!"

Thinking of this, Qin Kou'er frowned, narrowed her eyes slightly, and quickly racked her brains.

"Under what circumstances would Lan Xiuyuan voluntarily stay with Lan Jiayuan?"

"That's not the case!" Lan Linxue said coldly. "Lan Xiuyuan has wanted Lan Jiayuan's head for a long time. Even back in the capital, their secret struggle was the fiercest. Now you're letting Lan Xiuyuan take the meat that's practically in his mouth? How could he possibly accept that?"

Qin Kou'er frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled slightly, "Yes, people like you never let go of any opportunity! But do you know that this is also one of your most fatal flaws!"

Lan Linxue seemed not to understand Qin Kou'er's words, and looked up at her with a puzzled expression.

Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, leaned back a little, and looked at Lan Linxue with her hands supporting her weight: "Of course you'll bite into a piece of fat meat, but what if you get two pieces of fat meat? Do you think Lan Xiuyuan would let go so easily?"

"What exactly does that mean?" Lan Linxue asked, frowning.

Qin Kou'er stood on tiptoe and said with a sneer, "Lan Xiuyuan wants Lan Jiayuan dead, but after all the trouble you caused during the day, I believe he definitely wants you dead even more!"
