Lan Qingtian was slow to react to court affairs, so he looked confused.
Lan Linxue, however, reacted with remarkable speed, her eyes darting around before she understood her father's intentions. She clapped her hands and exclaimed with a smile, "This is undoubtedly a brilliant move! The best move ever! Even if Hu Tianyong still hesitates to deal with Xu Ming, by tomorrow he will surely be determined to eliminate this obstacle! Because he knows that once Xu Ming is gone, Lan Jiayuan behind him will be no threat at all. Moreover, Xu Ming is now nothing more than a stumbling block!"
Lan Shanyang nodded. "That's exactly what I mean! Tomorrow I'll have to see how the people below react."
Although Lan Linxue thought Lan Shanyang's idea was good, there seemed to be some things that needed to be sorted out. He looked up at Lan Shanyang and said, "Father, it doesn't matter if Xu Ming falls, but what about the military power he holds? That's hundreds of thousands of troops. Won't these people rise up and cause trouble?"
Lan Shanyang looked at Lan Linxue and smiled slightly: "You mean these people want to rebel, right? Don't worry, they won't cause any trouble, because it's Hu Tianyong, not me, who wants Xu Ming dead! Besides, after so many years and numerous reshuffles, Xu Ming's subordinates are no longer as impenetrable as they used to be!"
Lan Linxue immediately smiled: "That's right! Father has secretly planted countless pawns over the years, so these people can't cause any trouble at all. Besides, we have Seventh Uncle here to keep things in check!"
Lan Shanyang was satisfied with his son's reaction, but still turned to look at Lan Qingtian and said, "Although that's what you say, Seventh Brother, you need to keep your men on high alert during this period. Keep an eye on Xu Ming's close associates. If they really make any moves, you should take my military seal and take them all down directly. You must ensure stability and prevent panic, understand?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I understand! From now on, I will keep a close eye on everything that's happening over there!"
Lan Shanyang nodded, then looked at Lan Linxue and said, "Have Qin Kou'er prepare these next few days. The Qin family's affairs have come to a head, so she needs to have everything prepared so that she won't be caught off guard! Also, she needs to keep a low profile and follow the official plan for everything. She must not rush things, understand?"
Lan Linxue nodded, "Don't worry, I'll tell her when I get back!"
Lan Shanyang sighed with satisfaction, then waved his hand: "You may all go and make preparations. I am a little tired and need to rest for a while! I still have to see the ministers outside later."
"Yes! We take our leave!"
Lan Linxue and Lan Qingtian quickly bowed and withdrew.
As soon as the two reached the palace gate, they heard a eunuch inside say that Lan Shanyang had fainted in front of the court officials and that the imperial physician had been summoned to the palace.
Lan Linxue and Lan Qingtian immediately exchanged a glance.
"Your father's performance is quite impressive! Every step he's taking now is meticulously planned and executed!"
Lan Qingtian felt a deep admiration for Lan Shanyang's profound thoughts.
Lan Linxue sighed helplessly, "He is, after all, the emperor of the world. Some things require such caution. Otherwise, if he were to establish a crown prince for no reason, wouldn't that arouse even more speculation, which would be very unstable for the foundation of the empire!"
Upon hearing Lan Linxue's words, Lan Qingtian exclaimed in surprise, "It's not easy, nephew! It's rare to hear you use such words as 'the country and its people.' It seems you're really growing up! Good! Well done!"
Lan Linxue gave a wry smile, "There's no peace of mind at home or outside, so even if I wanted to be lazy, I couldn't!"
Lan Qingtian and Lan Linxue had a brief discussion and decided that Lan Linxue would go to the palace first to see the Emperor, and then Lan Qingtian would come back to replace Lan Linxue in the afternoon.
Lan Linxue went to the palace and did not return, so Qin Kou'er quickly made arrangements for Qin Tiange.
Lan Linxue's words yesterday served as a wake-up call for her; this was the future of Qin Tiange.
Lan Linxue is right. If the two of them really get married, then what will happen to Qin Tiange in the future is worth discussing.
It now seems that the best solution for Qin Tiange is to hand it over to Jun Yannuo.
However, most of Qin Tiange's businesses are supported by her family's money. After she leaves, the headquarters can't let this family business fall directly into someone else's hands. But now, she's the only one left in the Qin family, and there's no one else to steer the ship. It's really worrying to think about.
As soon as Jun Yannuo entered with his things, he saw Qin Kou'er sitting there with a furrowed brow, tapping on the table.
With a slight smile, Jun Yannuo walked over and sat down next to Qin Kou'er, pouring her a cup of tea as he asked, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Qin Kou'er turned to look at Jun Yannuo and said, "What will happen to Qin Tiange after I marry Lan Linxue?"
Jun Yannuo was taken aback; he really hadn't thought of that question.
"What can we do? You founded Qin Tian Pavilion, and everyone in the world knows that you are the head of Qin Tian Pavilion. You can't just disband Qin Tian Pavilion after you become a princess or empress, can you?"
"How about I make you the head of Qin Tian Pavilion?"
Jun Yannuo immediately looked up at Qin Kou'er: "Not good!"
Qin Kou'er immediately scratched her head in annoyance, "Then what do you suggest? I can't possibly be involved with both the palace and the martial arts world at the same time, that's definitely not going to work! I don't trust anyone else, only by putting Qin Tian Pavilion under your name can I leave with peace of mind!"
Jun Yan Nuo immediately frowned deeply. "What are you saying? What do you mean by 'leaving peacefully'? Where else can you go? Just because you're the Empress doesn't mean you're no longer the head of Qin Tian Pavilion! What a joke!"
