More importantly, Qin Kou'er was unaware that Lan Xiuyuan was about to make his move. She was determined not to actually injure Lan Linxue; otherwise, it would be a bloody battle, and no one knew what methods Lan Xiuyuan would use to kill Lan Linxue!
Jun Yannuo was extremely anxious, but he really couldn't take a single step out.
Lan Linxue and Qin Kou'er were both in danger.
Meanwhile, Lan Linxue was still holding Qin Kou'er's hand, leisurely enjoying their sweet time on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Seeing a pair of mandarin ducks swimming leisurely in the water, Lan Linxue, in a childlike mood, picked up a stone and started throwing it.
"What are you doing? They were swimming happily together, why did you have to separate them?"
While stopping Lan Linxue, Qin Kou'er leaned on the railing with envy, watching the pair of mandarin ducks in the water who, though separated, did not part.
Lan Linxue said sourly, "I haven't even gotten married yet! Why are they acting so lovey-dovey? Who's being made to feel bad?"
"Hahaha!" Qin Kou'er pointed at Lan Linxue and pinched her cheek: "Aren't you ashamed? You're actually jealous of a couple like you! Who told you not to get a wife? It's all because you're picky!"
Lan Linxue immediately pointed at Qin Kou'er and said righteously, "Qin Kou'er, you have no conscience! If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have had a bunch of wives and concubines by now, do you know that!"
Qin Kou'er's smile widened even more. "Give me a break! Don't pin everything on me! Everyone knows our Crown Prince is gay and doesn't love women!"
With that, Qin Kou'er quickly moved away from Lan Linxue and ran off laughing.
"Qin Kou'er! You stop right there! Today, I, the Crown Prince, will show you my prowess!"
Lan Linxue shouted and went to grab Qin Kou'er.
The two of them ran freely on the embankment.
Finally, Lan Linxue pulled Qin Kou'er into her arms. Then, seeing that no one was around, she told Shuanghua to stay far away and not to peek. Once everyone was completely alone, she pulled Qin Kou'er into a series of kisses.
Finally, Lan Linxue finished kissing Qin Kou'er and released her, her face flushed. She puffed out her chest triumphantly and said, "How about that? Now you know how powerful I am! If you dare say that again, I'll make you give birth to a son!"
At this point, Lan Linxue leaned close to Qin Kou'er's ear and whispered, "Why don't we just get married? I'll marry you no matter what, whether the old man agrees or not! Waiting too long is too unbearable for me!"
Qin Kou'er gave Lan Linxue a hard slap. "Don't think nonsense! This isn't up to you. Listen to me!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er pulled Lan Linxue up and continued walking forward.
Lan Linxue pouted, indicating her disagreement.
"Lan Linxue, there's a Top Scholar Temple just ahead! It's said that the Bodhisattva inside is very efficacious and will bless students to become top scholars! Let's go and pray!"
Lan Linxue immediately scoffed, proudly puffing out her chest and saying, "My son doesn't need to take the imperial examination to become the top scholar! He's been destined to be the top scholar since birth!"
Qin Kou'er frowned. "How could you do this! What if he doesn't want to study properly? I don't want him to become a tyrant in the future!..."
Just as Qin Kou'er was speaking, a huge red lantern suddenly appeared in the sky.
Qin Kou'er's expression instantly turned serious. "Oh no! Something's happened! Let's go!"
With that, Qin Kou'er grabbed Lan Linxue and started running back.
However, they were still a step too late; Lan Xiuyuan had already made his move.
