Lan Linxue saw Qin Kou'er staring at her with wide eyes like a little tiger, clearly waiting for her to make a statement.
With a slight smile, Lan Linxue quickly looked at Qin Kou'er in a flattering manner and said, "Alright! Alright! I'll do whatever you say! What kind of time is this to be so quick to turn on someone? Be careful our son hears this, or he'll be unhappy!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue lowered her head and pressed her face against Qin Kou'er's belly to listen to the movements of her son.
After listening for a while without any response, he looked up and frowned at Qin Kou'er: "He didn't make a sound either?"
Qin Kou'er chuckled and pulled Lan Linxue up: "This is nothing, you can't even hear a sound! Okay, stop fooling around, let's lie down and talk for a while. You have to go out and arrange things this afternoon!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er pulled Lan Linxue down to lie down with her and told her about what she had talked about with Jun Yannuo that day.
Lan Linxue wholeheartedly agreed. He couldn't really say anything about Qin Tiange's affairs anyway, so he just went along with whatever Qin Kou'er said.
As for the silver, Lan Linxue didn't care about it at all. It would be better if more poor people could earn more.
Just as the two were talking close together, they suddenly heard a soft sound outside the window.
Qin Kou'er was a step faster than Lan Linxue, and flung a hidden blade from under the pillow next to her, which flew straight out.
At the same time, something flew in from outside and stuck directly into the pillar.
Qin Kou'er nimbly rolled out of bed, took two steps to the sleeve knife, took the note, and quickly glanced at it.
Lan Linxue quickly came over and asked nervously, "Who is it?"
Qin Kou'er shook her head slightly, and when Lan Linxue was about to come over to look at the note, she quickly put it away.
Raising her head and looking at Lan Linxue with a serious expression, Qin Kou'er said softly, "Has the Emperor postponed the ancestral worship ceremony to tomorrow?"
Lan Linxue was taken aback, but quickly nodded: "I'm not feeling well today, so let's postpone it until after tomorrow's morning court session. If the position of Crown Prince can be decided, we can hold the ancestral worship ceremony together!"
Qin Kou'er waved a note: "Hu Tianyong will set up an ambush at the White Tiger Hall tomorrow to deal with Xu Ming!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately frowned: "Where did this information come from? Is it accurate and reliable?"
Qin Kou'er said with a serious expression, "The information from my people with Hu Tianyong is absolutely accurate and reliable!"
Lan Linxue's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. "Are you sure Hu Tianyong is targeting Xu Ming, and not the Emperor?"
Qin Kou'er was a little confused. "What do you mean? That's what the news says. There's absolutely no mistake!"
Lan Linxue's hands clenched unconsciously: "The White Tiger Hall is located on the only route to the Ancestral Hall. It holds the edicts of past emperors and the secrets left by the royal ancestors. It can be said to be the most important place in the royal family. Anyone who enters the White Tiger Hall without the permission of the current emperor is committing treason. No matter what the reason or excuse, as long as they enter without permission, it is treason, and they will be executed without mercy. Moreover, when passing through the White Tiger Hall for ancestral worship, no one is allowed to carry weapons. Even the emperor's guards are not allowed to engage in any bloodshed in the White Tiger Hall. Hu Tianyong can not only ambush Xu Ming in that place, but he can also assassinate the emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er immediately tensed up. She quickly looked down and read the note again, making sure she hadn't misread a single word, before whispering to Lan Linxue, "It's the White Tiger Hall! There's absolutely no mistake!"
Lan Linxue frowned and paced around twice, muttering to herself, "That's not right! If Hu Tianyong wanted to kill Xu Ming, he wouldn't need to set up an ambush in the White Tiger Hall! Besides, assassination isn't really his style! It's more like he'd assassinate the Emperor there, but to say he'd kill Xu Ming in the White Tiger Hall seems like an overreaction. This doesn't make sense!"
Qin Kou'er also found the news somewhat shocking.
Given Hu Tianyong's current status, does he really need to resort to assassination? That would be underestimating him.
"Moreover, this matter seems quite problematic. The Emperor only decided to hold the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow at the last minute. This news is still being kept under wraps. Not to mention Hu Tianyong, even Lan Xiuyuan might not know. When I came out of the Emperor's place just now, he only mentioned it casually. Who knows what will happen in the court tomorrow? Will he even go to the sacrificial ceremony? If he doesn't go, Xu Ming can't possibly go to the ancestral hall, right? Then the ambush at the White Tiger Hall will be useless."
Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, completely puzzled.
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then walked to the side and sat down, and began to tap her fingers on the table aimlessly.
Lan Linxue knew this was a common gesture Qin Kou'er made when she seemed to be thinking. He didn't disturb her, and when he looked down, he found that Qin Kou'er wasn't even wearing shoes. He went over and took her shoes, bending down to put them on for her.
Qin Kou'er let Lan Linxue do as she pleased, only thinking about what Lan Linxue had said that day.
After a long while, Qin Kou'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Lan Linxue, who was peeling melon seeds for her, "Could it be that Hu Tianyong isn't trying to kill people, but rather to harm them?"
"Is there a difference?" Lan Linxue didn't even look up, continuing to peel the melon seeds for Qin Kou'er.
Qin Kou'er slapped Lan Linxue's hand anxiously: "Of course there's a difference! Killing someone is a single stroke of the blade, but harming someone involves having someone else do the blow. I bet Hu Tianyong's intention wasn't to kill Xu Ming, but to make Xu Ming kill someone in the White Tiger Hall!"
Lan Linxue didn't understand and blinked at Qin Kou'er.
