Qin Kou'er chuckled and tapped Lan Linxue's chest: "You really are an unfilial son! I've never heard anyone talk about their father like that before! But seriously, don't interfere with the Emperor's affairs, and don't speak well of me in front of him anymore. Let me tell you, the more you side with me, the less the Emperor will like me! If you want me to avoid some detours, then don't say a word when it comes to me!"
Lan Linxue became even more unhappy. "What if he bullies you if I don't say anything?"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly and proudly tapped Lan Linxue's nose: "Do you think your wife is so easily bullied? Don't worry, I've already figured out how to deal with the Emperor! You just need to watch the show from the sidelines!"
Lan Linxue immediately became curious, propped her head up with her arm, and stared at him with wide eyes, asking, "What good idea do you have?"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, pouted, and said leisurely, "Don't you understand the Emperor's temperament after all these years by his side? I think you and your father are exactly the same! You're both like stubborn donkeys, you won't move if you try to lead them, and you'll only back down if you push them! If you offer something to him willingly, the Emperor will never think it's a good thing, and he'll find fault with you at every turn. You have to keep refusing, making the Emperor feel uncomfortable, wondering why his son can't be noticed by others?! Only in this way can I marry you smoothly! In short, this matter is a game between me and the Emperor. Don't interfere!"
Lan Linxue blinked and thought for a moment, then stared at Qin Kou'er as she slowly sat up. "Qin Kou'er, the more I listen, the more something seems off! I have a feeling you're going to cheat on me?"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue and smiled gently, "Yes, you've finally figured it out! I'm going to cheat on you! That's why I deliberately held hands with Lan Xiuyuan today!"
Lan Linxue felt like she was going to vomit blood. She had never seen a wife cheat on her husband so openly!
Pointing a finger at Qin Kou'er, Lan Linxue growled, "Qin Kou'er! I've discovered you're doing this on purpose! You just want to get entangled with that bastard Lan Xiuyuan! Let me tell you, I absolutely will not allow you to bring my son to cuckold me!"
Qin Kou'er sat up abruptly, facing Lan Linxue directly: "What? You can think of a better way? Hmph, you still have the nerve to complain. Don't you even think about how much I helped you and your father in the main hall today? But look at your father's attitude afterwards. You said all that, but he didn't say anything at all, and his expression was so cold. What does that mean? It means he doesn't even care about someone like me who has no status. Do you think you can still marry me smoothly like this? Don't forget, you're just a prince now, and there are countless knives hanging over your back!"
Lan Linxue felt both angry and aggrieved by Qin Kou'er's words. Thinking back to his own expression at the time, he couldn't really explain why. But the thought that Qin Kou'er was about to cheat on him made him feel even more wronged.
"ah--"
With a frustrated growl, Lan Linxue collapsed onto the bed, rolled around a couple of times, and then wrapped himself completely in the blanket. There was no man in the world more pathetic than him.
Qin Kou'er knew, of course, what it meant for Lan Linxue, a man, and a proud man at that, to endure such humiliation. So she leaned down and gently pulled the blanket off his face.
"Throughout history, those who achieve great things have always been able to bend and stretch! What's the harm in enduring this temporary hardship? As long as our son recovers in the future, it will all be worth it, won't it?"
Lan Linxue, slightly out of breath, stared at Qin Kou'er and said in a muffled voice, "No! Absolutely not!"
At this point, Lan Linxue pulled Qin Kou'er close to her chest, staring intently into her eyes, and said, "Why should my woman suffer such injustice! Why should you, a perfectly innocent person, have to compromise and maneuver around someone like Lan Xiuyuan just because you married me? And why should you be scrutinized like an object by my father? You are the one I love, the one I chose! You should be revered by everyone, why should we suffer such injustice?"
At this point, Lan Linxue suddenly sat up, her gaze suddenly becoming firm as she looked at Qin Kou'er: "Even if someone has to suffer injustice, it's me who will suffer! This is my family matter, my responsibility! In short, Kou'er, I can't stand by and watch people gossip about you behind your back! That's absolutely unacceptable!"
As Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue and listened to his words, she suddenly felt her heart soften like the wind. All the strength and strategy she had built up collapsed in an instant, and her eyes reddened in a flash.
She gently rested her head on Lan Linxue's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said softly with a slight sob in her voice, "Linxue, with your words, even if I have truly suffered injustice, I am content!"
Lan Linxue put her arm around Qin Kou'er's shoulder and said in a deep, cold voice, "I said I wouldn't let you suffer, and I will! Especially now that you're pregnant, I can't bear to see you carrying so much burden alone! Kou'er, listen to me on this matter, I will definitely make Father accept you properly! So, from now on, don't get too close to Lan Xiuyuan anymore. I don't want to see or hear anything about your intimacy! Promise me you won't make me feel even a little bit of jealousy, otherwise, I'm afraid I might really lose control and kill him someday!"
Qin Kou'er slowly raised her head and looked quietly at Lan Linxue, "Are you sure you can really get your father to accept me?"
