Qu Feng'er immediately turned Lan Xiuyuan, who was not in a good mood, over, and then forcefully tore open the clothes on his back to examine him carefully.
Finally, Qu Feng'er stood up and shook her head at Qin Kou'er.
Qin Kou'er breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said to the northerner, "It seems that your token is nothing more than a lost token!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er kicked the Northerner away with all her might.
Even without the totem behind him, the wolf-tooth blade alone was enough to prove that his background was far from innocent. This became a secret of the royal family, a secret of the emperor. This secret could never be known to anyone else.
"I'll ask you one last question: how many companions do you have left?"
Upon hearing this question, the northerner looked at Qin Kou'er with a proud yet cruel expression, then struggled to his feet, clutching his chest: "Do you think I would tell you? If I did, you could kill me instead! I would absolutely not tell you!"
Qin Kou'er looked at him, a look of admiration appearing on her face: "You really are a tough nut to crack! But I already told you, you have no right to negotiate with me now!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er grabbed the broken dagger beside her and threw it straight out, instantly piercing the man's thigh.
Ah—um—
The man suddenly shouted, then immediately shut his mouth again.
His body collapsed instantly with that shout, but he was indeed a tough guy. Even though he was on the ground, his mouth was closed and his eyes were still glaring fiercely at Qin Kou'er.
At this moment, Lan Xiuyuan had slowly regained consciousness.
Although my arm was still in excruciating pain, I was completely conscious.
Seeing Qin Kou'er shatter his last hope, he finally stood up in a fit of rage.
As Feng Zhouyuan watched Lan Xiuyuan, his face pale but his eyes bloodshot like a ghost, slowly walk towards Qin Kou'er, he couldn't help but call out in worry, "Fifth Master!"
Lan Xiuyuan didn't even glance at him, but walked step by step towards Qin Kou'er.
Qin Kou'er didn't move at all, but calmly watched Lan Xiuyuan, who was filled with anger and hatred, approach step by step.
"Qin Kou'er! I am still the Emperor's son, a prince appointed by the Emperor! How dare you openly barge in like this? Aren't you really afraid of the Emperor...?"
Qin Kou'er immediately sneered, a chilling smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, her gaze fixed on Lan Xiuyuan with mockery, completely interrupting his next words.
"The Emperor? You dare mention the Emperor in front of me at a time like this? Fifth Prince, do you still harbor some delusional thoughts? If so, I advise you to give up on that idea immediately! You probably didn't hear everything that man said earlier. That wolf-tooth blade you're carrying is a family heirloom of the Northern Kingdom, yet you risked your life to carry it with you. What does that prove? I think you know without me saying it! Moreover, I can tell you something else: the Emperor has only ever had one son, Lan Linxue!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lan Xiuyuan roared with all his might. At this moment, he really wanted to rush up and tear Qin Kou'er to pieces, and tear everything in the world to pieces.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Qin Kou'er laughed loudly, "Nonsense? Why don't you ask the Emperor if I'm talking nonsense or not? Besides, I think you know better than anyone else whether I'm talking nonsense or not! You and Lan Linxue are both the Emperor's sons, but the Emperor treats you and him completely differently. Isn't that something to think about? They say even tigers don't eat their cubs. Even if the Emperor dislikes your Hu family, he wouldn't treat you like this! But no matter how well you do, how likable you are, the Emperor doesn't appreciate it at all! Fifth Prince, I advise you not to have any other thoughts! Sometimes the truth is just that cruel and heartless!"
Lan Xiuyuan looked at Qin Kou'er, his chest heaving violently.
He slowly pointed at Qin Kou'er, wishing he could rush in front of her and tear her to pieces, but no matter how much he wanted to kill her, his heart was shattering into pieces.
He knew she was telling the truth. He had thought about this question a thousand times over. No matter how much he resisted it, deep down he had considered this possibility: was he really Lan Shanyang's son? Or was he someone who had never been related to the world?
However, because Hu Tianyong and Hu Qianyu were there, and because so many years of education had made him afraid to even touch on this topic.
When Qin Kou'er revealed this, it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.
"Qin Kou'er! The more I loved you in this life, the more I hate you now! I, Lan Xiuyuan, swear that as long as I have a breath left, I will make you and Lan Linxue wish you were dead!"
Lan Xiuyuan cursed Qin Kou'er as if his teeth were grinding steel.
Qin Kou'er shook her head indifferently: "Lan Xiuyuan, how can you be so naive! I never intended for you to live a good life after what I did today! In this lifetime, let alone Lan Linxue and me, I'm afraid even a dog on the street won't look at you again after tonight. Don't forget, it's not just me who wants to kill you, but also your father, Emperor Lan Shanyang, who sits high above!"
"Qin Kou'er! I'm going to kill you!"
With a roar, Lan Xiuyuan, like a trapped beast, charged towards Qin Kou'er with the dagger in his hand.
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly. Can such an attack even be considered an attack? How presumptuous!
However, just as Lan Xiuyuan was about to rush to Qin Kou'er's side, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.
