Qin Kou'er immediately realized that the so-called welcoming the Crown Prince back to the capital was just a nice-sounding name; in reality, it was just about escorting Lan Linxue back to the capital.
Qin Kou'er's face turned pale. Her heart suddenly felt heavy, so heavy that she didn't even have the strength to stand up. He was leaving, going back. She didn't know what the future held when they met again.
Before this pang of unrequited love even began, Qin Kou'er was already so tormented that she couldn't eat.
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, then smiled faintly and said softly, "Fine! Since they're here, your plan is off!"
Ultimately, Qin Kou'er still disagreed with Lan Linxue's plan to blow up the dam, and was even more worried about it.
Qin Kou'er always felt that no matter how much she did, Lan Linxue would be punished by heaven for blowing up the dike and flooding the fields, so she was desperately resisting this decision.
Lan Linxue turned to look at Qin Kou'er, suddenly smiled slightly, put down what she was holding, and took Qin Kou'er's hand.
"Kou'er, I'm afraid the old man probably already knows what I'm going to do, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed here to take me back! If I leave, you have to be strong! I will never give up on what I've decided. When the time comes, there will be a storm of anger and violence, and it will definitely make you suffer a lot."
At this point, Lan Linxue smiled gently, tenderly smoothing Qin Kou'er's loose hair. "However, I believe my Kou'er will overcome all difficulties. Because in this world, there is only one woman named Qin Kou'er!"
Qin Kou'er stared intently at Lan Linxue, her lips pressed tightly together, but tears suddenly streamed down her face without warning.
"The Emperor already knows, and you still want to do it? Lan Linxue, are you crazy?"
"Yes!" With that, Lan Linxue slowly pulled Qin Kou'er to her feet and they walked out into the wind and rain.
Looking at the people outside still struggling against the wind and rain, Lan Linxue's gaze became more resolute and fierce than ever before.
"Do you see? No matter what these kind people do, their ultimate fate will be destroyed by those corrupt officials. If no one steps forward, if no one does anything for this country, then in the end, all of them will be swept away by this storm. I don't care about the throne, but these kind people and you are what I cherish in my heart. So, no matter what obstacles there are, I will keep going!"
Lan Linxue turned to look at Qin Kou'er, her gaze unwavering, and said, word by word, "You must continue! You must continue! Because this is what the Crown Princess must do, and what she must endure!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, and tears suddenly streamed down her face like the rain falling outside, and she couldn't control them any longer!
Clutching Lan Linxue's sleeve, Qin Kou'er suddenly felt so tired that she couldn't even take a single step.
All she wanted to do was cry, cry on and on, cry out all the resentment in the world, and cry away this separation until it vanished like smoke.
Lan Linxue watched as Kou'er's tears, which she could not wipe away no matter how hard she tried, felt as if her heart was being torn apart by a knife, each cut drawing blood.
But he couldn't cry! At least not now, and even more so in front of Kerr!
He feared that a single tear would wash away all his inner strength.
"Kou'er! Listen to me! Listen carefully to me!"
Qin Kou'er wanted to shake her head. She didn't want to hear anything right now. She wanted to keep him, and she wanted to smash everything in front of her.
But Lan Linxue's hands held her face tightly, leaving her no room to turn around.
"Lan Linxue, I don't want to hear what you have to say! I beg you, stop! There must be another way! The Emperor knows you breached the dike, and he will definitely not let you off! He has sent his personal guards to find you, just to stop you! If you really do it, I'm afraid even the Emperor won't be able to protect you in the end. If you lose your royal status, everything will be for naught! Lan Linxue, listen to me! Stop now, it's not too late!"
Qin Kou'er grabbed Lan Linxue's sleeve, making a final effort.
"It's too late!" Lan Linxue's calm voice was as hard and ruthless as metal in the wind and rain. "I've already given the information to Lan Xiuyuan. If I don't blow it up, Lan Xiuyuan will definitely find out and blow it up anyway! Then he'll frame me for everything! Then all the evidence will be whatever he says, and I'll be doomed!"
Qin Kou'er stared intently at Lan Linxue, then suddenly stopped crying and just stared straight at him, before frantically hitting his chest and shoulders.
"Lan Linxue! You're a madman, a complete bastard! You keep saying you love me, but you've never thought about me even once! Not even once!"
Lan Linxue stood there quietly, letting Qin Kou'er punch and kick her.
If Qin Kou'er can vent her anger, what difference does it make if she gets hit a few more times?
After hitting Qin Kou'er twice, she got tired of hitting her and crying. She couldn't hit her anymore, and she couldn't stand up. She slowly slid to the ground.
Lan Linxue watched as Qin Kou'er slowly squatted down, hugged her tightly again, and hid her close in her arms.
"Kou'er, from now on, you must remember everything I say. Understand?"
Qin Kou'er stared blankly ahead, showing no reaction whatsoever. But Lan Linxue knew that Qin Kou'er would remember everything he had said that day.
"After the dam is blown up, Lan Xiuyuan will stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, and then he will return directly to the capital with witnesses and evidence. At that time, he will definitely tell you what I did. At that time, you must not show that you know anything. You must act as if you don't know anything from beginning to end, understand? No matter what happens outside, I absolutely cannot let you or Qin Tiange have anything to do with this. I will leave Shuanghua behind. With him by your side, it will be very convenient for you when you go to the capital, and you will always have a way to contact me!"
