As she spoke, Qin Kou'er put her finger to her lips and gave a loud whistle.
Soon, a small figure darted out of the woods and ran up to them in a flash, only to turn out to be a dwarf.
"I will obey my master's orders!"
"Go immediately and have Manager Sun personally visit Zhao Ling'er. Bring her the things the Grand Steward prepared and tell her the plan has begun. Instruct her to act according to the plan! At the same time, tell the headquarters that I have seen the red lanterns. Tell everyone to be cautious. Without my orders, do not panic in any situation!"
"Yes, sir! I'll get on it right away!"
As he spoke, the little dwarf vanished like a wisp of smoke in the blink of an eye.
Lan Linxue looked on curiously, "Qin Kou'er, I didn't know you had so many people with you! It seems I underestimated you! Did he see us kissing just now?"
"Shut up!" Qin Kou'er pinched him hard. "You're allowed to go out with a bunch of people, but we're not allowed to bring our servants? Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourselves. Don't let Lan Xiuyuan really take your life!"
Lan Linxue chuckled twice, grabbed Qin Kou'er, and said, "He's dreaming. Let's see if he has the ability!"
With that, Lan Linxue took Qin Kou'er's hand and walked back again.
Lan Xiuyuan certainly has that ability!
He not only has the ability, but also the determination.
After yesterday's humiliation, Lan Xiuyuan finally understood that one of them, Lan Linxue, had to die; otherwise, he would never be able to sleep at night.
So when Hu Feifan told him about Junyan Nuo's plan, he agreed almost without thinking!
If killing Lan Linxue could also bring Lan Jiayuan along, why not?
However, Qin Kou'er must not be involved in this matter under any circumstances, and the attack must be decisive.
Therefore, he imprisoned Jun Yannuo.
There's never a need to find the right moment to kill; today is the perfect opportunity.
Although Lan Xiuyuan hated Lan Linxue to the core, it did not mean he would act rashly.
On the contrary, because he wanted to do this thoroughly, he had more time and more meticulous consideration.
Even though Feng Zhouyuan had been beaten half to death, he still carried this strategist to his bedside to discuss plans together.
Feng Zhouyuan, his face pale, thought for a long time before raising his head and looking at Lan Xiuyuan with a solemn expression: "Fifth Master, this matter is of great importance. If we act rashly, we might end up in deep trouble ourselves! I hope you can think this through!"
Lan Xiuyuan looked at Feng Zhouyuan with a serious yet calm gaze.
"Sir, Xiu Yuan knows what he is doing! This is not a momentary impulse! The idea of killing Lan Linxue has been brewing for many years. Over the years, no matter what schemes we have used, we have failed in the end because of the Emperor behind us. Although the Emperor never says it outright, he knows it in his heart. Perhaps, he is just waiting for the right opportunity to eliminate me and my maternal grandfather together, so as to prepare for Lan Linxue to ascend the throne and take over the world."
This is a golden opportunity. If we're careful, I believe there's a real chance of success! For this small hope, I'm willing to take a much bigger risk! Sir, everyone says a man can't be a hero without ruthlessness, but very few actually do it! I think perhaps we should consider taking this path!
Looking at Lan Xiuyuan's expression, Feng Zhouyuan knew that he must have made up his mind.
With a slight sigh, Feng Zhouyuan said, "Since the prince has already made his decision, then I have nothing more to say. Since I'm doing this, I will definitely assist Fifth Master to the very end, until he succeeds!"
Lan Xiuyuan looked at Feng Zhouyuan gratefully and nodded, "After all, you understand me best, sir! Now that Lan Linxue and Qin Kou'er are outside and have few people around them, it is the best time for us to make our move."
"Yes! This is indeed a rare opportunity! How about this: we'll divide this operation into three phases, each building upon the previous one, ensuring that Lan Linxue has no chance to escape!"
Lan Xiuyuan nodded. "Sir, do you already have a plan?"
Feng Zhouyuan smiled faintly, "Assassination isn't actually that difficult! The most important things are manpower and location! As for the location, I think we should choose Zhuangyuan Temple, the peach blossom forest on the way back, and the Dragon Burial Hill outside the city gate. Moreover, all the weapons we use must be from the Xuzhou camp. Only in this way can we frame the Third Prince."
As for the Third Prince, Jun Yannuo's plan is excellent! However, we need to modify some details. We'll still send Zhao Ling'er, but we absolutely must wait until after the Crown Prince's accident before we act. Otherwise, the Third Prince's plan won't be convincing. Have Feifan find Zhao Ling'er and bring her to the Third Prince!
Lan Xiuyuan frowned. "Isn't this too troublesome? Lan Linxue is already dead. We can just kill the third brother directly. Why do we have to use Zhao Ling'er? She's such a burden. She'll probably be a hindrance in the future!"
Feng Zhouyuan immediately shook his head. "You can't think like that! Fifth Master, you must understand that if the Crown Prince is murdered, the Emperor will be furious. He will definitely launch a massive investigation. Right now, Third Master is still in the Crown Prince's courtyard. Even if the Crown Prince dies, his men certainly won't die. They will tell the Emperor everything they saw! If they find out you saw Third Master and he eventually died, who do you think the Emperor will vent his anger on? Therefore, we must be extremely careful. And no matter what method Zhao Ling'er uses to kill Third Master, she must sever all ties with us in the end. This is crucial, do you understand?"
