Upon hearing Lan Linxue's words, Qin Kou'er suddenly sat up again.
The sudden rise and fall startled Lan Linxue, who quickly sat up and wrapped her arms around Qin Kou'er's belly, asking anxiously, "Why did you sit up so suddenly? Is my son alright?"
Qin Kou'er glared at Lan Linxue with annoyance, then grabbed his clothes, making him face her properly. "Lan Linxue, there's something we need to talk about right now!"
"What's wrong? Why are you so startled? Don't scare my son!"
Lan Linxue, with a melodramatic expression, carefully touched Qin Kou'er's belly.
After touching him for a while, he felt that the clothes were in the way and preventing him from touching his son. Then, under Qin Kou'er's cold gaze, he automatically and consciously put his wolfish paws inside the clothes.
"Lan Linxue!"
"Um?"
What are you doing?
"Shh! Don't talk, let me give my son a good pat!"
Finally, Lan Linxue untied Qin Kou'er's complicated sash and reached inside with her large hand.
Touching Qin Kou'er's smooth and tender skin, Lan Linxue closed her eyes, her face full of satisfaction, and muttered, "Oh my, my son will definitely be incredibly handsome in the future! Look at him, he's so well-behaved now, he doesn't even move!"
Qin Kou'er listened to Lan Linxue's incessant chatter until she finally couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed his ear and lifted him up.
Lan Linxue cried out in pain, opened her eyes, and looked at the woman in front of her who had her lips tightly pursed. She still couldn't give up and removed her hand from the woman's stomach.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to murder your husband?"
After saying that, Lan Linxue spat and said, "Say it again!"
"Qin Kou'er, are you trying to murder your own son's father?"
Qin Kou'er bit her lip, her face cold and stern as she whispered to Lan Linxue, "I'm telling you, you'd better not tell anyone about this! I don't want anyone to know right now! If you dare to leak this information, see how I deal with you!"
After saying that, he flung his hand away violently.
Lan Linxue covered her ears, her face full of indignation, and said, "Why can't you say that Lao Zhi has a son?"
At this point, Lan Linxue's eyes flashed. She raised her hand, pinched Qin Kou'er's chin, and looked up at her, warning, "Qin Kou'er, let me tell you! You are now the mother of my son. Don't even think about cheating on me again! If you dare to run away with my son, I'll kill you..."
"Who did you kill?"
Qin Kou'er's eyes narrowed.
Lan Linxue immediately felt inferior, and after snorting twice, she muttered, "I'll kill anyone who messes with you!"
Qin Kou'er snorted, slapped Lan Linxue's hand away, then pulled her clothes tighter and coldly glanced at him, saying, "Let me tell you, only you and I know about this right now! You better watch out, don't tell anyone without my permission! I'm serious, given the current situation, we have to be careful about the child!"
Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, then suddenly slumped down in frustration, her brows furrowed and lips pouting as she placed her hands behind her head in annoyance: "Hmph, I know what you're thinking. If these people knew you had my child, they'd be in big trouble! The third prince may have a harem, but he doesn't have a single son. The fifth prince is even worse; he's stubborn and won't let any of his concubines bear an heir until he has a principal wife. If they knew I had a child, who knows what cruel things they'd do! Do you think I really don't know these things? Hmph! They really underestimate me, Lan Linxue. If I can't even protect my own son and women, I don't deserve to be a man!"
Upon hearing Lan Linxue's words, Qin Kou'er immediately leaned softly against him, gently resting her head on his chest, her small hands fiddling with the straps binding him. "You know that's good! I don't want our child to be in danger while I'm thinking about other things! You know what kind of methods they use, right? In the end, I'm just a commoner now. If they really target me, I won't be able to defend myself! Besides, even though you have real power now, you still have many things to do. How can you be by my side for everything?"
When Lan Linxue heard Kou'er say that, she immediately felt uncomfortable.
It would be hard for any man to be in this situation if his wife was pregnant but he had to keep his son a secret.
Gently stroking Qin Kou'er's hair, Lan Linxue's gaze at the ceiling turned cold and sinister: "Don't worry! I will definitely eliminate all these people soon, so that you and your son can live in peace!"
Qin Kou'er also said with a hint of seriousness, "The key is that it's not just those two who need our attention!"
"Are you talking about my father, the Emperor?" Lan Linxue slightly curled the corners of her lips. "Don't worry, once I've made up my mind, he'll eventually obey me! Besides, we have a child now, so how could he force me to abandon you? If he did, don't tell me I'd really cause a scene in the Heavenly Palace!"
Qin Kou'er frowned and looked up at Lan Linxue, "Making a scene like this isn't a real solution! I need to make the Emperor accept me sincerely, not just reluctantly! Even if we get married, we might not be happy!"
Lan Linxue tilted her head up and glanced at Qin Kou'er, then frowned and asked, "So what do you mean?"
"My meaning is very simple! I want the Emperor to believe that I am the only one in the world most suitable for you, Lan Linxue. Only in this way, if one day you have three thousand beauties in your harem, will I have someone to stand by my side!"
Lan Linxue was displeased after hearing Qin Kou'er's words. She pulled Qin Kou'er to her side and said angrily, "Qin Kou'er, is that how you see me? When did I say I wanted three thousand beauties? Let me tell you, I only want you as my woman in this life, and you can't get rid of me! As for the beauties, leave them to my old man! Anyway, he's still young and strong. Humph!"
