Qin Kou'er herself didn't know how long she had been crying. When she finally couldn't even shed a tear anymore, she leaned against the bed, curled up, and pressed her head tightly against her knees, not wanting to say a word.
Lan Linxue's appearance was like a ghost in her mind, constantly disturbing her inner peace and leaving her with no strength to keep going.
Qin Kou'er's rational mind kept telling her that it was really not worth it at all for a beast like Lan Linxue.
But the pain in her heart was like a gushing spring, gushing over her wave after wave.
Perhaps even Qin Kou'er herself didn't realize that she had fallen deeply in love with Lan Linxue, and that she was trapped in her own fantasy from which she could no longer escape.
It wasn't until Shuanghua, disregarding everyone's attempts to stop her, forced his way in that Qin Kou'er finally raised her head, her eyes red, swollen, and cold as she looked at him.
Frostflower's face was paler and looked worse than ever before.
Frostflower glanced coldly around at her surroundings, then fixed her gaze on Qin Kou'er before looking at Jun Yannuo, who had followed her in. "Tell him to get out!"
Qin Kou'er stared intently at Shuanghua and said in a hoarse, icy voice, "Get out! Or I'll kill you!"
Shuanghua gave a cold laugh, then casually pulled a dagger from her boot and walked over, stiffly shoving it into Qin Kou'er's hand: "Kill me!"
You think I wouldn't dare?
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er raised her hand, and a bloodstain appeared on Shuanghua's chest.
Fresh blood quickly began to flow.
Shuanghua didn't even frown, but pointed at Jun Yannuo at the door and said, "Tell him to get out!"
Qin Kou'er remained silent and raised her hand once more.
This time it's Frost Flower's arm.
Frostflower didn't even glance at it.
"Get him out!"
Qin Kou'er raised her hand again.
Jun Yannuo, with a stern face, suddenly said to Qin Kou'er, "Kou'er, I'll wait for you outside!"
With that, Jun Yannuo turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Seeing Meiyan peering anxiously into the doorway, he walked over and pulled her aside, saying, "No one is allowed to come near!"
Shuanghua looked at Qin Kou'er, whose hand did not fall but also did not loosen its grip on the dagger.
Do you think that sitting here or smashing everything in this house will solve the problem?
Shuanghua got straight to the point, saying nothing nice.
"Get out!" Qin Kou'er said menacingly. "If you want to teach someone a lesson, go find your master! He's the one who needs to learn how to be a decent human being!"
Thinking of Lan Linxue, Qin Kou'er felt a surge of turmoil in her heart.
Shuanghua sneered and looked at Qin Kou'er mockingly: "Thanks to you! He's fighting for his life with the King of Hell right now! If he wins, he's lucky; if he loses, he's just unlucky. He can't blame anyone else! I just want to ask you, do you also want to ignore everything around you because of your little mess?"
If so, do as you please! Go ahead and torture yourselves to death. At worst, we, the people below, can just pledge allegiance to a better ruler. Anyway, I've already been to the Fifth Prince several times. I believe Lan Xiuyuan will applaud and welcome both me and Jun Yannuo! If not, then hurry up and stand up, don't let those around you perish with you. Don't forget, countless people in the distance are about to be swallowed by the flood!
At this point, Shuanghua stared coldly at Qin Kou'er: "You know Lan Linxue's temperament better than I do! He never gives up halfway through what he sets his mind to! Even if he dies, those four counties must be blown up! If you still have even a shred of patriotism, if you still care about your relationship with Lan Linxue, then help him save everyone! Otherwise, just wait and see him suffer divine retribution in the end!"
Qin Kou'er looked at the frost flowers and suddenly laughed, her laughter growing louder and more maniacal.
"Why should I? Because I love him?! But he's already wasted all my love!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er was already laughing until tears streamed down her face. Looking at Shuanghua, she said breathlessly, "I've said everything I can say. If he wants to court death, who can stop him? You make it sound so easy. That's not just one person, it's thousands upon thousands of people. Why should I save them? And why should I help Lan Linxue shield herself from a natural disaster?"
"Just because you are a descendant of the Qin family! Just because Lan Linxue is the last remaining bloodline of the Empress! Just because of his unwavering devotion to you!"
Shuanghua suddenly reached out and grabbed her frail shoulders, forcing her to straighten up and look at her: "Let me tell you, Lan Linxue did this without any idea what he was doing! He didn't know how much wrath he would incur, or even how the Emperor would react! He was just gambling! He was betting his life would survive, betting he could escape unscathed! If he won, he would hide behind the scenes and kill all his enemies one by one; if he lost, there wouldn't even be anyone to mourn him, because he would be a sinner for all time!"
But he met you, met you, the wealthy and powerful Master Qin Tian, and he has at least a 50% chance of winning. As long as you save him, even if he's furious, he'll still have a way to keep his royal status. Qin Kou'er, do you even know how important you are to him? Do you even know how much you've changed him? Do you even know that his life is in your hands?
As Shuanghua spoke, she shook Qin Kou'er vigorously.
The shaking brought tears to Qin Kou'er's eyes.
"If he's capable of doing it, he should be capable of taking responsibility! Why should I suffer like this with him!"
