"yes!"
Jiang Ming rushed in and saw Lan Linxue kneel down with a thud, his forehead touching the ground as he loudly proclaimed, "This subordinate is guilty! I beg the Crown Prince to punish this subordinate for his ignorance and failure to investigate!"
Lan Linxue slammed her hand on the table, pointed at Jiang Ming's lowered head, and shouted, "Jiang Ming, you finally know you're guilty! Do you know that if it weren't for Qin Kou'er today, I would have gouged your eyes out! You dog, how dare you disturb this Crown Prince's meal? You're tired of living!"
Jiang Ming was a little dazed by the scolding. He looked up at Lan Linxue with an innocent expression and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your subordinate, your subordinate didn't mean that crime!..."

Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, her smile slowly fading. She turned around and said coldly, "Finally found it! Hmph, you're really slow at this!"

"Tell me some news I haven't heard before!" Lan Linxue indifferently picked up the silk scroll and began to wipe her hands, but her eyes were coldly fixed on Jiang Ming.

"Um?"
Lan Linxue and Qin Kou'er were both stunned.
