Do you have a specific plan?
Qin Kou'er nodded, then looked at Lan Linxue and said, "Actually, we don't need to do anything. You just need to make arrangements with the Imperial Observatory, and then tell the Emperor that the court has such treacherous officials who have defied the will of Heaven and should be dealt with by auspicious omens. Ask the Emperor to arrange our marriage ahead of schedule. The day we get married will be the day Lan Xiuyuan is defeated."
After listening, Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er in disbelief: "That's it?"
Qin Kou'er nodded, looked at Lan Linxue with a smile, and said, "That's all for your matter! As for the rest, I'll arrange it!"
"What are your plans?" Lan Linxue asked Qin Kou'er with great curiosity.
"Never mind that! Just do as I say! And one more thing, you need the Emperor to give me a token so I can enter and leave the Imperial Prison at any time to see Hu Tianyong!"
Lan Linxue immediately shook her head: "No! I won't feel at ease if you don't tell me all the plans! With your personality, who knows what dangerous things you might do behind my back!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er immediately frowned and lightly patted her stomach, angrily muttering, "I'm a mother, how could I easily take risks? There are some things you shouldn't know right now. When the time is right, I will naturally explain them to you properly! In short, now you just need to follow my instructions and go to the Emperor to discuss our marriage! Do as I say!"
Lan Linxue stared at Qin Kou'er without moving for a long time.
Qin Kou'er immediately frowned and kicked Lan Linxue: "Don't you want our son to be born safely?"
"Fine! Fine! Fine! I'll do as you say!" Lan Linxue had no choice but to give in. "However, you have to keep Shuanghua with you. I'll only feel at ease when he's by your side!"
Qin Kou'er immediately wrinkled her face again without taking off her clothes.
"What? You don't agree? If you don't agree, then there's no room for discussion!"
As he spoke, Lan Linxue turned around, intending to act like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water; even if Qin Kou'er kicked him to death, he would not give in.
Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Kou'er glared at Lan Linxue's back and said, "I have many experts around me, what use is it for you to put Shuanghua by my side?"
"He's really useful! I trust him the most, and I only feel at ease when he's by your side!"
Lan Linxue turned her head and stubbornly confronted Qin Kou'er.
Qin Kou'er took a deep breath and told herself that she must not argue with him at this moment.
"Alright! I'll listen to you! Leave the frost flowers to me, okay? Now, you should rest for a while; you have to go to court soon!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er grabbed Lan Linxue's arm and, without letting him say anything more, pulled him down onto the bed. She found a comfortable position in Lan Linxue's arms, closed her eyes, and began to doze off.
Seeing how well-behaved Qin Kou'er was, Lan Linxue couldn't help but smile sweetly, and hugged Qin Kou'er for a final rest.
On the other side, Lan Qingtian was also whispering to Shu Lingxi.
Shu Lingxi stared wide-eyed, biting her lip, seemingly lost in thought, oblivious to her husband undressing her.
When she noticed Lan Qingtian lifting her arm, she frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lan Qingtian said without even looking up, "Your clothes are uncomfortable. Take them off and sleep in them so you can sleep more comfortably!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Lingxi slammed her arm against Lan Qingtian's and pointed outside, whispering, "This is Lin Xue's residence! Do you think we're at home? Why are you stripping so naked? If the maids see us, we'll be laughed at to death!"
Lan Qingtian really didn't understand why he had attracted so much attention just by taking off his wife's clothes.
"I was just undressing my own wife, I wasn't doing anything wrong, what's so funny about it? I'll see who laughs later, dare to laugh at the Princess? What kind of behavior is that!"
After saying that, Lan Qingtian stubbornly continued to undress his wife.
Shu Lingxi was truly exasperated with Lan Qingtian. She reached out and forcefully pulled his arm under her head, holding it close to his chest as she pondered her earlier thoughts, wondering whether she should tell Lan Qingtian.
After enduring it for a while, Shu Lingxi felt she couldn't hold back any longer and needed to talk to someone.
"Qingtian, don't you think that Kou'er and Linxue are too close?"
Shu Lingxi spoke very softly, afraid of being overheard by those outside. If others found out that the future Crown Princess was pregnant out of wedlock, it would be a very serious matter.
Lan Qingtian held his wife in his arms, his eyes slightly closed, and muttered nonchalantly, "What's so strange about that! They've always been deeply in love. They were so devoted to each other back in Jiangnan. It's understandable that they're a little intimate!"
Shu Lingxi bit her lip and said in an even softer voice, "Then tell me, when unmarried men and women are in love, won't they do something improper? I think the way Lin Xue looks at Kou'er doesn't seem like that of an unmarried couple, but more like that of an old married couple."
"What do you mean by 'old married couple'? He's such a young man, how could he have such profound insights! Besides, would an old married couple have that burning desire in their eyes? Heh, I think you and I are what an old married couple should be!"
As she spoke, Lan Qingtian hugged Shu Lingxi even tighter.
Shu Lingxi stared at her husband, who was standing just inches away, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"What? Now that you see me as an old married couple, you don't feel any more desire anymore?"
Lan Qingtian sensed something was off about his wife's words, so he quickly opened his eyes and said as if making a vow, "Who said that! The moment I see you now, it's just like the year I first saw you—I want to pounce on you immediately! Look, didn't I just try to take your clothes off? You were the one who wouldn't let me!"
