Lan Linxue touched the small bottle and spoke with great enthusiasm, while Shuanghua, who was listening nearby, was completely confused.
"Sir, I didn't understand a word you said! What exactly is this method you're talking about? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Lan Linxue turned and glanced at Shuanghua, pointing at him with exasperation: "How can you be so stupid! You haven't improved at all after following me for so many years? I've explained it so clearly, how come you still don't understand!"
Shuanghua was also displeased. "What you're saying is so cryptic, who can understand it? Go out and ask around, based on what you just said, is there anyone who can understand what you mean?" Saying this, Shuanghua gave Lan Linxue a disdainful look: "This guy, he hasn't even become emperor yet, and he's already putting on airs with Zen sayings! Hurry up and tell me, or I'm going back to drink chicken soup! Meiyan said she'd wait for me to come back so we could drink soup together, and it's been so long, the soup will get cold soon!"
Lan Linxue's eyes widened immediately, as if she had heard some kind of myth: "You drink chicken soup? Or smoke Meiyan? The world changes too fast, doesn't it?"
Things have changed so fast. Just one night, Meiyan and Shuanghua were having a passionate night together, wanting to have a son. Today, they're fighting like sworn enemies. One day, Meiyan and Shuanghua were arguing and couldn't stand each other. But now, they've agreed to drink chicken soup together.
This is inhuman!
Lan Linxue immediately expressed her jealousy!
"Are you going to tell me or not? The chicken soup's getting cold!"
Shuanghua, taking advantage of Lan Linxue's sore spot, kept shouting, determined to make him furious before she felt any better.
"You still won't admit it!" Lan Linxue glared fiercely at Shuanghua before continuing, "As long as rumors start circulating that there's something wrong with the riverbank, that's enough! I believe that once Lan Xiuyuan finds out something fishy about the riverbank, he'll definitely send people to investigate. Because my actions these past few days have been very strange even to myself! Do you think Lan Xiuyuan won't be suspicious? So when he finds out that I was the one who played the trick, he'll investigate me even more frantically, and he'll need evidence. At that time, why don't we set a trap? Let one of our people pretend to be a gunpowder-making worker, only to slip through the cracks while we're currently in a massive manhunt. This way, Lan Xiuyuan will naturally fall into the trap, and he'll definitely send people to investigate immediately. The results will surely make him ecstatic. Don't worry, the time Lan Xiuyuan sets off back to the capital will be the time for us to go back and face our punishment! It will also be the end of our days of fear."
Thinking of all this, Lan Linxue felt completely relaxed. However, this time, he was determined to bring Qin Kou'er back to the capital no matter what.
Frostflower thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea! And it'll make things much easier for us. The only thing is, the person we send needs to be quick-witted, and look like someone who's just going to be bullied and has no way out!"
After Shuanghua finished speaking, Lan Linxue laughed, and then Shuanghua laughed too.
Lan Linxue looked at Shuanghua and said with a smile, "Is there even a need to think about someone like that? It seems like there's only one person who meets the criteria, right?"
Frostflower smiled and nodded: "Poor thing! There's only this guy. Even when he's not being bullied, he always looks like he's in debt. If we're talking about being bullied, no one else can say they've been bullied except him!"
"Yes! Tell Kuwa to get ready right now. And immediately contact the old man's commander and have them secretly go after Kuwa. Don't make too much noise, but make sure Lan Xiuyuan's men notice! Remember, make sure they know exactly how to do it!"
"Don't worry! Old Fang is a reliable guy!"
After saying that, Shuanghua slowly stood up, twisting her waist and moving around. "Every day, my old back is about to break! And you never give me a moment's peace! Tell me, shouldn't you give me a raise from now on?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. "Oh dear, I'm tired. You'd better leave! Don't get in my way!"
Shuanghua immediately curled her lip and glanced at Lan Linxue with disdain: "You stingy thing! You can't even mention money, can you? How pathetic!"
As she spoke, Shuanghua clutched her waist and slowly walked out.
Thinking of how Qin Kou'er and Lan Linxue had averted a tremendous storm, Shuanghua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
These two should hurry up and get married. If they continue to cause trouble like this, before anything happens to them, everyone around them will die.
After watching Shuanghua leave, Lan Linxue took out the small medicine bottle and carefully rubbed it in her palm.
He knew that his Ke'er would never abandon him. Even if everyone else in the world abandoned him, she would never. Because she knew the bitterness in his heart.
Although she hated her own recklessness, she still worried about him and silently used all her strength to protect the empire behind him. If such a woman is not loved and cherished, then truly no one in the world is worthy of love!
Thinking of all this, Lan Linxue felt that he couldn't wait a moment longer. He had to see Qin Kou'er immediately. Even if she didn't intend to forgive him, it would be good if he could just see her from afar!
But Shuanghua absolutely must not find out about this, otherwise she'll definitely scold him to death.
Thinking of this, Lan Linxue immediately summoned the eunuch outside and asked him to secretly prepare the sedan chair.
The seventh brother was watching the medicine being brewed when he heard Lan Linxue calling for someone. He immediately scurried over and took the initiative to serve his master.
Seeing that the seventh brother was trying his best, Lan Linxue immediately rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What are you doing in here? Get out! I don't want to see you!"
