Lan Linxue smiled smugly, then obediently hooked Qin Kou'er's neck into her arms again, turned to her side, and the two of them lay down on the bed to rest.
Qin Kou'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lan Linxue had calmed down. If it had happened again, with all those positions and movements from last night, she would have lost her life on this bed.
Lan Linxue glanced sideways at Qin Kou'er's relieved face and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Lan Linxue, what if, after we go back, the Emperor finds out I did this beforehand and won't let me enter the palace?"
Qin Kou'er is most worried about this: Lan Shanyang will never allow a woman who has lost her virginity to become the Crown Princess, no matter who that man is.
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately turned cold and snorted heavily: "Why would I need him to examine my body before I marry you? Besides, he has done so many things to wrong me, causing my mother's tragic death, and he even forced me not to ask him anything. Why should I listen to him? If he turns a blind eye and lets me marry you smoothly, that's fine. But if he dares to obstruct me and prevent me from marrying you, I'll burn down the Golden Palace! If it's a contest of who can cause more trouble, I'm really not afraid of him."
Hearing Lan Linxue's words, Qin Kou'er couldn't help but chuckle. She looked up at her man with bright eyes and whispered with a smile, "Lan Shanyang must have done something terrible in his past life to have a son like you. No wonder they say you're a cursed child; it seems they weren't wrong at all. You're just here to collect a debt from him!"
Lan Linxue glanced at Qin Kou'er and said indifferently, "If he doesn't give me an explanation for what happened back then, I won't be his son anymore! He can give his lousy throne to whoever he wants. I wouldn't even bother to look at it if it were in my hands!"
"No way!" Qin Kou'er immediately looked at Lan Linxue with a serious expression. "The throne must be yours! And it can only be yours! If Hu Tianyong helps Lan Xiuyuan ascend the throne, then we will have no way to survive! So, don't you dare mention not wanting the throne to me again. Be careful, or I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing that Qin Kou'er was a little anxious, Lan Linxue immediately hugged her, patted her back, and gently comforted her, saying, "I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you! What's the rush?!"
At this point, Lan Linxue suddenly cupped Qin Kou'er's small face and said very seriously, "Kou'er, there's something you absolutely have to promise me!"
"What's wrong?"
"It means never risk your life for them, no matter what. Because they don't deserve it, you understand?"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, nodded obediently, gently put her arm around Lan Linxue's waist, and said softly, "Before you, I felt that at worst, we would both be hurt. But now that I have you, I need to take care of myself for you, right?"
Lan Linxue nodded immediately, her eyes gleaming with an indescribable excitement. "Yes! Yes! Kou'er is so smart! You must always think of me! No matter when or where. You must always remember that I'm behind you, and I'll do what you can't do. When you feel tired, I'll carry you on my back. Don't put all the burdens on your shoulders. Now you have a man, so let your man take care of your own affairs!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, her eyes hazy, her lips lingering with affection.
He buried himself in Lan Linxue's arms and said tenderly, "Lan Linxue, I think God has been kind to me, leaving me with the best man in the world!"
Lan Linxue felt his heart pounding with happiness; such moments had only ever occurred in his dreams.
Stroking Qin Kou'er's hair, Lan Linxue smiled and said, "I'll deal with Hu Tianyong. That old man is cunning, and with your current strength, you're no match for him! Don't worry, I promise you, whether it's my mother or the Qin family, I will personally avenge them! I swear I won't rest until the Hu family is destroyed!"
As she spoke, a fierce glint flashed in Lan Linxue's eyes.
Qin Kou'er did not nod, but simply leaned quietly against Lan Linxue's chest.
After a long silence, he said softly, "Lan Linxue, I hope you won't stop me from having your father!"
Lan Linxue froze, looked down at Qin Kou'er intently, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Kou'er looked up at him, chuckled, and gently touched his face. "Don't worry! I will never kill him!"
Lan Linxue immediately felt a sense of relief.
"But I won't let him get away with this!"
Lan Linxue smiled and nodded, "Yes, okay! My old man just needs someone to mess with him, that's why he's been so bored these past few years!"
Qin Kou'er sighed. She naturally had ways to deal with Lan Shanyang.
"Who else was among those people back then?" Lan Linxue continued to ask. "A prestigious family like the Qin family certainly couldn't have been uprooted by Hu Tianyong alone. If no one else had colluded with them, I could have worked myself to death and he could only watch from the sidelines with envy! Tell me, who were the others?"
Qin Kou'er gave a cold laugh and said in a deep voice, "You just need to remember the mastermind. Lin Xue, I can't let you know too much. You're already in the vortex of power right now. If you know so much about what happened back then, I'm afraid you might lose control and expose yourself to danger!"
Lan Linxue immediately frowned, forcefully pulling Qin Kou'er's waist close, and said with displeasure, "Qin Kou'er, aren't you my wife? If you are my wife, don't hide it from me. If I'm in danger, aren't you in danger too? Do you know that if Hu Tianyong or anyone else finds out that you are a descendant of the Qin family, you will be crushed to death? At that time, I won't even know who the enemy is or how to save you!"
