Qin Kou'er frowned as she looked at Lan Linxue, indicating that she was very unhappy.
Lan Linxue acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and instead called in the seventh prince, preventing him from leaving the palace.
Seeing that Lan Linxue was so insistent, Qin Kou'er didn't argue with him. She just told Mo Hun to go back and tell Jun Yannuo what had happened, and to keep an eye on his family. She told him not to cause any trouble today and to just keep the door closed.
Lan Linxue felt relieved after Qin Kou'er finished giving her instructions.
After being helped by servants to get up and change, Lan Linxue insisted on having Qin Kou'er eat with her.
As the two were talking, someone outside suddenly announced that Lan Qingtian had arrived.
Without waiting for Lan Linxue to come out to greet him, Lan Qingtian frowned and strode in.
Seeing Qin Kou'er was also there, he said nothing, but after dismissing all the servants, he said to Lan Linxue in a low and solemn voice, "Did His Majesty ask you to keep watch outside today?"
Lan Linxue immediately nodded: "Yes! Your Majesty will be accompanying the Emperor today! Be careful!"
Lan Qingtian shook her head: "Nothing too serious will happen inside! But I'm quite worried about you. Xu Ming still has some cronies in the capital! If they arrest Xu Ming, you must act according to my signal. You must arrest all his men immediately, understand?"
Lan Linxue smiled slightly: "I know! There are already people watching those people! And the city gates will be closed starting from the sacrificial ceremony today. As soon as I see Seventh Uncle's signal, I'll start arresting them!"
Lan Qingtian nodded: "This is important! We absolutely cannot let these people plot a rebellion! And you also need to keep an eye on Hu Tianyong's side. Are Chen Kuangzheng and the others ready?"
"Preparations are almost complete! As long as Hu Tianyong is locked up in jail, these people's spittle will drown him!"
Lan Qingtian walked to his seat and nodded, saying, "That's exactly how it should be! When the time comes, bring out everything you have and don't hide anything. Now that we've taken action, we'll make sure he dies without a burial place."
"Yes! That's what I think too! But Lan Xiuyuan and Lan Jiayuan will also be going to the ceremony, so Uncle Qi will have to worry about what's going on inside!"
Lan Qingtian immediately smiled proudly: "Don't worry! These two little brats are still too green to try and play tricks on me!"
Lan Linxue smiled but didn't say anything. He never thought Lan Xiuyuan and Lan Jiayuan were fools; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to compete with him for the throne all these years.
After asking about the details below and finding everything to be in order, Lan Qingtian quickly left with her people.
Meanwhile, waves of people began arriving outside to see Lan Linxue, all dressed in armor, which made the already tense atmosphere even more strained.
Lan Linxue wore a tight-fitting robe today, which showed off her slender figure.
Qin Kou'er knew that he was going to wear armor outside.
Qin Kou'er walked gently to Lan Linxu's side, took his hand with a worried expression, and asked softly, "Are you sure you don't need me to come with you? I'm a little worried!"
Lan Linxue chuckled softly, gently stroking Qin Kou'er's face, and said tenderly, "What's there to worry about! There are tens of thousands of troops outside under my command! With so many people protecting me, how could anything serious happen to me? Don't worry! I'll definitely come back safe and sound! Be good, wait for me here!"
Looking into Lan Linxue's determined eyes, Qin Kou'er felt a little more at ease.
"I've already told Mo Hun and Yan Nuo to bring me all the evidence I have! It's probably already in Chen Kuangzheng's hands. With this stuff, it won't be easy for those two to get away! Go do your work, and be careful. I'll be waiting for your good news at the Prince's Mansion!"
Lan Linxue nodded, then gently kissed Qin Kou'er's forehead, took a deep breath, glanced at her again, and turned to leave.
As Qin Kou'er watched Lan Linxue's retreating figure, she suddenly didn't know what she was feeling. She felt empty yet heavy inside.
Everything unfolded quietly as the sun rose.
The deep, resonant sound of horns echoed across the capital city.
For others, this was the signal to begin the sacrificial ceremony, but for Qin Kou'er and Lan Linxue, it was the start of a real showdown.
Countless banners fluttered, yellow flags waved, and countless swords and spears gleamed chillingly in the sunlight.
Lan Shanyang, dressed in bright yellow, walked steadily toward the White Tiger Hall.
His heart was beating steadily, his hands were clenched tightly, and a smile that no one could decipher was playing on his lips.
Finally, the day had come. All the patience and pain would end on this day. He wanted to see these people groveling at his feet and hear their agonizing screams.
Everything will end in this bright sunshine, and all good things will begin in this clean and bright environment.
Lan Qingtian, however, did not have as many thoughts as Lan Shanyang. Every cell in his body was excited, and his eyes were like sharp blades constantly scanning his surroundings.
He knew that Xu Ming had already left assassins in the White Tiger Hall, and Hu Tianyong had also set up a dangerous trap there. This was all aimed at the Emperor, and also at their Lan family.
But they were all wrong. As long as Lan Qingtian was still in the Lan family, no one could stir up trouble in this place.
Hu Tianyong and Xu Ming followed behind Lan Shanyang, standing at the front with gloomy expressions that made it impossible to tell what they were thinking.
