Lan Linxue was speaking from the heart.
Qin Kou'er chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll never forget you, no matter who else I forget! But if you walk slowly, maybe I'll walk with you!"
Have you decided to go to Beijing?
Lan Linxue was pleasantly surprised and looked at Qin Kou'er, saying, "Qin Tiange's headquarters is in Yangzhou. What will you do here when you come to the capital?"
Qin Kou'er laughed heartily, "Let me tell you, I'm better than you at this! Wherever I go, there's the headquarters of Qin Tian Pavilion! Besides, you're so alluring, what if someone kidnaps you if I don't keep a close eye on you?"
Lan Linxue immediately burst into laughter, cupped Qin Kou'er's little face and gave her a big kiss, "Besides you, I can't see anyone else who could seduce me!"
Qin Kou'er blushed instantly and whispered, "What are you doing? Aren't you ashamed in public? There are people coming and going here, you should be careful!"
"My dear wife, what good ideas do you have!"
Lan Linxue glanced around nonchalantly.
And sure enough, someone walked over.
Frost Flower kept a cold expression, pretending not to see anything.
Lan Linxue immediately turned her head, her face very unpleasant, and whispered quickly in Qin Kou'er's ear: "That bastard Shuanghua is such an eyesore! Sooner or later I'll find him a formidable wife and get rid of him completely!"
Qin Kou'er laughed heartily, then calmly stood up from Lan Linxue's embrace, turned to look at Shuanghua, and said with a smile, "Lady Shuanghua, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shuanghua glanced at Qin Kou'er, then bowed deeply to Lan Linxue.
"Your Highness, all the arrangements for your inspection of He Yan have been made! The Fifth Prince and Jiang Ming have also received the news and are just waiting for your instructions!"
Qin Kou'er was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Lan Linxue, "What, are you going to inspect the dike?"
Lan Linxue stood up with a smile, "Yes! I can't get involved in what the fifth brother is doing to Shi Mengjian, and I have no way to get involved! I can't just go back to Jiangnan doing nothing. The old man won't agree to that either, so I think it's better to do something worthwhile! I can only go and inspect the condition of the dike!"
"Can't we also go down the river and enjoy the scenery on both banks?" Qin Kou'er said with a smile, covering her mouth.
Lan Linxue laughed heartily, walked over and winked at Qin Kou'er, "Kou'er understands me best!"
The two of them laughed together.
"So, are you going with me?"
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, "I figured I wouldn't have anything to do by then, so I'll go with you!"
Lan Linxue nodded, "Okay! I'll send someone to pick you up then!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue with some curiosity, "Are you busy right now? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Lan Linxue sighed, "No matter what, the third brother was poisoned last night. I can't pretend I don't know! I'm planning to go see him later. I can't let him take all his anger out on me; that would be so unfair!"
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then nodded, "You're right! The Third Prince lost an arm because of you this time. If we add what happened last night, he'll probably hate you to death. You'd better go and see him!"
Lan Linxue nodded, then looked at Qin Kou'er as if she remembered something.
"Didn't you say you were going to see Zhao Ling'er? Did you go secretly?"
"Not yet! Perfect timing, you go see the Third Prince, and I'll go see Zhao Ling'er. It'll be better to get this over with. It's always better to avoid trouble!"
Lan Linxue smiled and nodded, then tidied Qin Kou'er's hair and said softly, "Go, see what that woman has to say. It's no loss to kill someone like that!"
"I know!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er smiled gently at Lan Linxue, then nodded to Shuanghua, before turning and gracefully leaving.
After Qin Kou'er left, Shuanghua walked over to Lan Linxue and whispered, "Everything on the dam has been arranged! It's at the first bend in the Qinhuai River outside Yangzhou City. As long as you take your men there, a small leak will naturally appear. The water flow won't be very strong, but you'll definitely see a leak in the dam."
Lan Linxue nodded, "Okay. That's enough! With this excuse, I can get Qin Kou'er to send all the people from those counties to repair the dikes. That way, even if we blow up the dikes and destroy the fields, it's just material damage, no one will die!"
Shuanghua nodded. "Given the current situation, this is the only option! But Master, those counties are major salt-producing areas. And we've found out that Qin Kou'er is running those businesses. If we really blow them all up, I'm afraid your precious darling will suffer the biggest loss!"
Lan Linxue turned and glared at Shuanghua, but her expression turned serious: "I'm not worried about Qin Kou'er losing some silver. Her annual income can be fully recovered thanks to Lan Xiuyuan's tax reduction. What I'm worried about is that all the salt will be washed away, and the overall salt production will decrease. Won't that encourage corrupt officials and unscrupulous merchants to hoard salt again? If that happens, the common people will be exploited!"
Shuanghua glared at Lan Linxue, somewhat annoyed. "I told you long ago that this move of yours was too audacious. If you really did this, countless ordinary people would suffer because of your princes' struggle for the throne! But you just wouldn't believe it. Isn't it a bit too late to think about this now? Why don't we just not blow it up and obediently go back to the capital..."
Lan Linxue suddenly raised her hand, stopping Shuanghua from speaking.
