As she spoke, Lan Qingtian deliberately glanced at Lan Xiuyuan beside her.
Lan Xiuyuan quickly bowed his head and said, "The most heinous crimes in the world should be punished by everyone. Your nephew understands this matter!"
"It's good that you understand! You, come with me. We'll go see the Emperor together. It turns out that you were in direct charge of some of Xu Ming's affairs. Go and tell the Emperor yourself what's going on with him!"
With that, Lan Qingtian stood up, cracked his whip, and strode out.
When Lan Xiuyuan saw Lan Qingtian call his name, although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to leave. He gave Lan Linxue a cold look, turned around and silently walked out with Lan Qingtian.
Lan Linxue watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, her expression growing cold as she pondered for a moment. Then, she turned and quickly walked to Chen Kuangzheng's side, whispering, "Secretly arrange for me to see Miss Qin! I have something to say to her." She then glanced at Chen Kuangzheng, adding, "You come along too!"
Chen Kuangzheng stared intently at Lan Linxue, seemingly trying to figure out what he was up to.
Seeing Chen Kuang staring at her with a puzzled look, Lan Linxue frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'm not messing around! Lan Xiuyuan has come looking for trouble today, how can we let this opportunity pass? Since Kou'er has started this, we should seize the opportunity and let Lan Xiuyuan and Xu Ming have a good dogfight."
At this point, Lan Linxue looked up at the plaque inscribed with "Upright and Honest" hanging high above her head, and smiled slightly: "From now on, it's time for us to fight back!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Kuangzheng's eyes lit up immediately. He leaned closer to Lan Linxue and asked softly, "Does Your Highness wish to reclaim the position of Crown Prince?"
Lan Linxue glanced at Chen Kuangzheng indifferently, "Do you think the position of Crown Prince can fall into the hands of these people?!"
Chen Kuangzheng stared at Lan Linxue for a long while before slowly smiling, "So Your Highness still cares about the country and its people! I knew it, Your Highness wouldn't just stand by and watch the position of Crown Prince fall into the hands of those scoundrels!"
Lan Linxue smiled slightly and looked at Chen Kuangzheng, saying, "The best way to deal with a venomous snake is to throw him a ferocious beast! There are just too many venomous snakes and ferocious beasts in our court. There's no other way; I can't just watch myself stay in the position of Crown Prince and be killed by them! Now that I've stepped down, they will go all out to bite each other to death!"
Upon hearing Lan Linxue's words, Chen Kuangzheng's eyes brightened even more, and a hint of admiration even appeared on his face: "Your Highness's scheme is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Such a grand undertaking is truly admirable! However, I wonder if these venomous snakes and ferocious beasts have joined the game this time?"
Lan Linxue's smile became even more stunning. "Don't worry! They're already in the game! Take me to see Qin Kou'er right now; there are some things we need to discuss in person!"
Chen Kuangzheng immediately bowed, "Your Highness, please!"
Lan Linxue glanced at Lao Qi, signaling him to wait outside, while he and Shuanghua followed Chen Kuangzheng inside.
Inside the gloomy prison, Chen Kuang was leading Zhou Cong, followed by two people dressed in black cloaks, as they walked in.
Qin Kou'er had already gotten up by this time.
The yamen runners below knew that no one could easily offend this guard, so following the clerk's instructions, they actually brought Qin Kou'er water to wash up, and also brought her a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns for breakfast.
Qin Kou'er had just finished eating dinner and rinsed her mouth when she saw Chen Kuangzheng walk in with his men.
Qin Kou'er wiped her mouth with her silk handkerchief, stood up, looked at Chen Kuangzheng, and said with a smile, "Lord Chen, is it so early for court? You must be tired!"
Chen Kuangzheng glanced at Qin Kou'er, then waved to Zhou Cong. Zhou Cong immediately stepped aside, dismissed everyone, and stood guard at the door.
Seeing how careful Chen Kuangzheng was, Qin Kou'er immediately looked at the two people behind him.
I knew who it was after just one close look.
With a sigh, Qin Kou'er looked at Chen Kuangzheng with a hint of helplessness. "Lord Chen, I carefully reminded you last night to get some rest, otherwise someone might bang on your door in the morning. I wonder if you slept well last night?"
Upon hearing Qin Kou'er's words, Lan Linxue ripped off her hat and walked over to Qin Kou'er, grabbing her hand and angrily saying, "Why don't you ask me if I slept well last night?"
Qin Kou'er glared at him, annoyed. "You've drunk so much that you're calling Jun Yannuo your brother, what could possibly keep you from sleeping? I'm afraid no one in the world sleeps better than you! Humph!"
When Lan Linxue heard Qin Kou'er mention this, she immediately became agitated: "Who calls Jun Yannuo brother! I was just momentarily unaware!"
Speaking of this, Lan Linxue became even angrier. "Qin Kou'er, aren't you going a bit too far? I get drunk once every thousand or eight hundred years, and you end up in jail! You seem so smart, but after what happened yesterday, why didn't you come back and pour a bucket of water over my head so I could stand up for you and beat someone up?"
"Pah! Pointing at you? If I pointed at you, all of Qin Tiange's possessions in the capital would have been smashed to pieces last night!"
Qin Kou'er angrily shook off Lan Linxue's hand, "If it weren't for the Seventh Prince last night, who knows how much more trouble this would have caused! In short, Xu Ming has messed with me this time, and he won't get away easily!"
Thinking of how Manager Sun was beaten, Qin Kou'er was filled with anger. If she pretended to downplay the incident, she would never be able to face her subordinates again.
Seeing that Qin Kou'er was angry, Lan Linxue quickly went over and said with a fawning smile, "That's what I think too! Xu Ming absolutely cannot be let off this time! That's why I brought you the most honest and upright official in the country. Just say what you think and let Lord Chen stand up for you!"
