Shuanghua stood up, and Lan Linxue said with a sneer, "It's good that what you say makes sense, otherwise I would have skinned you alive!"
Frostflower glanced at it expressionlessly, without saying a word.
What else does he have to say about mental illness?
Lan Linxue stretched out her hand, and Lao Qi quickly took out the mint tea he had brought from the palace and placed it in Lan Linxue's hand.
Lan Linxue took a sip to ease the discomfort in her throat: "All the news indicates that Hu Tianyong will launch an attack at the morning court session. Therefore, tomorrow you all need to be on your guard, say every single word, and just stick to the pre-arranged protests of innocence!"
"yes!"
Lan Linxue turned to look at Shuanghua, "With you not by my side, the old man will definitely become suspicious. I'm afraid he's already sent people out to investigate. How do you plan to come back?"
"Sect Master Qin has already said that I was left behind by the Crown Prince to appease the refugees. If the Crown Prince needs me, I can enter the city gates today and go directly to the palace to see him! Everything here is at the Crown Prince's disposal!"
Lan Linxue thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, “What’s the rush! If they like to play, let’s play along. Have Kou’er arrange two refugees for you, saying they’re representatives sent by the villagers to come to the capital to thank the Crown Prince for his foresight! Hmph, they like to smear me, so I’ll stir things up! A bunch of people are criticizing me, but there have to be at least two people who say good things about me! You and Kou’er say that later, and then take them back to the palace after the morning court session tomorrow.”
"yes!"
Frostflower nodded readily.
Lan Linxue tapped her fingers on the table, thinking through tomorrow's events again. Then she stood up, walked around twice, and turned to look at Shuanghua: "Lan Xiuyuan found witnesses and so-called physical evidence, but didn't he notice that something is missing?"
"We found it!" Shuanghua answered immediately, a cold smile appearing on her face. "Even if he couldn't find it, Feng Zhouyuan did! Although they found the remains of the item, they couldn't find a key witness to prove that the Crown Prince placed it there. Although Kuwa can say that the Crown Prince ordered the explosives to be made, and the explosives were indeed found, no one dares to say that the Crown Prince planted them! So, this is the loophole we left. The Fifth Prince discovered this loophole shortly after investigating, and he even sent someone to specifically find Miss Qin, hoping that the people from Qin Tiange could help inquire whether anyone had seen who went to those places before the incident!"
"What did Ke'er say?"
"No! Qin Tian Pavilion has branches all over the world. Wherever a stranger appears, Qin Tian Pavilion will have a message! But this time there is nothing!"
Hearing Shuanghua say this, Lan Linxue immediately felt relieved. After all, Kou'er was still his woman, and at crucial moments, she only had him in her heart.
"Master, if that's the case, then everything is exactly as we predicted!" the seventh brother said excitedly.
Lan Linxue nodded, walked to the fence with her hands behind her back, looked at the clusters of blooming flowers below, and said with a smile, "This is the trap I set for Lan Xiuyuan. I believe that Lan Xiuyuan has already found false witnesses and is just waiting for me to die without a burial place! Little does he know, this is also a trap he has set for himself. Go and find out where those people he found came from. Find a way to get the information and absolutely do not let him kill me to silence me so easily."
"yes!"
Lan Linxue nodded and sighed deeply. Everything seemed to have been arranged, but for some reason, Lan Linxue didn't feel excited. Instead, she felt a little melancholy.
That's the downside of being too smart; nothing feels new anymore, and life without rivals is too lonely.
"By the way, any news from Lan Jiayuan these past few days?"
"Nothing much happened! After returning, he pleaded his innocence and complained to the Emperor. In short, Xu Ming used every means to clear the Third Prince's name! However, the Emperor didn't seem to care much about this matter. At first, he only ordered the Third Prince to be imprisoned. Later, it was the letter the Crown Prince gave Xu Ming that worked. Xu Ming showed the letter to the Emperor, and only then did the Emperor relent, saying it was just the work of a petty person, a misunderstanding between brothers. Moreover, the Crown Prince told the Emperor that he had obtained the token. I think the Emperor was quite satisfied with this matter, so he released the Third Prince! Let him recuperate properly. However, Xu Ming has come to hate the Crown Prince!"
Lan Linxue nodded. "Yes, Xu Ming is a narrow-minded person. I'd be surprised if he didn't hate me! So, he'll definitely come to kick me when I'm down tomorrow! Since they're coming, let them all come. It's time to settle these grudges of so many years. Give them a chance to take revenge, but whether they have the ability to do so remains to be seen!"
At this point, Lan Linxue turned to look at Shuanghua and asked softly, "How is Kou'er doing lately? Have her injuries healed?"
"Everything is fine now! Miss Qin is doing very well during this period. Not only is everything well organized, but she is also eating and sleeping on time. To me, she seems to be in much better health than when she was in Yangzhou!"
Lan Linxue immediately became a little unhappy again. How come everyone else can see his wife but he can't?
This is so frustrating!
"Since she came to Beijing recently, she's locked herself up. What has she been doing every day? Has she been painting?"
Lan Linxue originally wanted to ask if she had drawn a portrait of herself in the past few days.
He always remembered that Qin Kou'er used to love hanging a portrait of herself by her bedside, and she would paint a few strokes on it every day.
