Thinking about it, Lan Linxue shook uncontrollably.
Qin Kou'er immediately looked up at Lan Linxue and shouted, "Lan Linxue, if you dare to let go, I'll jump off right now!"
Lan Linxue felt a sudden jolt in her heart upon hearing this shout.
He struggled to open his eyes, raised his head, and smiled slightly. This woman was determined to never let him go for the rest of her life!
"Follow me, trust me, and you will definitely make it!"
Qin Kou'er was genuinely afraid that Lan Linxue would easily let go of her hand.
Lan Linxue strained her body, enduring the intense pain in her back, and shouted, "If you don't want me to let go, then hurry up and leave!"
Qin Kou'er immediately began to climb down, chanting "left, right, left" in her head, afraid that Lan Linxue would not be able to keep up with her pace and would fall down if she let go.
Finally, after waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qin Kou'er led Lan Linxue to climb onto the raised platform.
As soon as they reached the bottom, Qin Kou'er immediately helped Lan Linxue down.
Lan Linxue, completely exhausted, collapsed onto Qin Kou'er, and the two of them fell to the ground.
Lan Linxue felt his entire back burning, but he leaned against Qin Kou'er and laughed for no reason.
Qin Kou'er gasped for breath, and after catching her breath, she looked gently at Lan Linxue leaning against her and smiled softly: "What's so funny? If others saw us like this today, they would laugh their heads off! A crown prince who is second only to the emperor and a pavilion master who dominates Jiangnan, yet today we're forced to the brink of jumping off a cliff like two stray dogs! Lan Linxue, I think you really should reflect on your actions."
Lan Linxue had her eyes slightly closed and was a little out of breath, but she still managed to smile freely.
Holding Qin Kou'er's hand tightly in his own, Lan Linxue closed her eyes and said with a smug look, "Others may think I'm miserable, but right now I'm indescribably content. My woman is with me through thick and thin; this is something many people would kill for. Although Lan Xiuyuan has the upper hand in everything, only you, only you, he's never had this opportunity in his life. I think when he finds out you jumped off the cliff with me, his heart will ache more than death!"
Thinking of this, Lan Linxue burst into laughter.
But his laughter ripped open the wound on his back, making his expression contorted in a grimace.
Qin Kou'er quickly helped Lan Linxue up, made him lie on the ground, and then quickly tore open his clothes to examine him bit by bit.
"Fortunately, your heart meridian wasn't damaged, but your tendons and bones were definitely injured. I'm afraid you won't be able to go out and cause trouble for a while! Don't move, let me treat your wounds first!"
Lan Linxue lay on the ground, saying helplessly, "Do you think I can still move now?"
Qin Kou'er didn't waste any more words with him. She took out a dagger and carefully cleaned away the iron filings that had hit her from behind. Then she took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom, carefully sprinkled the powder on it, and finally tore off her skirt and carefully bandaged Lan Linxue's wound.
After all that, Qin Kou'er was exhausted.
After helping Lan Linxue to sit down next to her, Qin Kou'er gazed at the scenery ahead with a touch of melancholy.
"Qin Kou'er, how did you know there was a platform here?" Lan Linxue asked, her eyes closed, seemingly half asleep.
Thanks to Qin Kou'er's medicine, the wound on my back felt slightly cool, and I didn't feel any pain at all.
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, then sighed softly, put her arm around Lan Linxue, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "When I was learning martial arts, my master once threw me off a cliff and told me that I must try my best to survive no matter what situation I was in. Later, I came to Yangzhou and surveyed all the terrain here. After learning that there was a cliff here, I became interested and climbed down myself. That's how I know there's a platform here!"
Lan Linxue glanced at Qin Kou'er, then suddenly raised her arm forcefully and pulled her tightly into her embrace, coldly saying, "Your master is truly wicked! If I ever see him, I'll give him a good beating! How can a child of your age have to suffer like this!"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly: "You may not be able to meet my master, and even if you do, you won't recognize him! Although it was very tough at the time, now that I think about it, if it weren't for my master's ruthlessness and grit, we would have died countless times by now!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er looked up at Lan Linxue and asked curiously, "In such a dangerous situation just now, why didn't you fire that firework from your pocket? I know you always carry that with you!"
Lan Linxue sighed softly, "Those Dragon Martial Army guards are my old man's personal bodyguards. If I were to summon them all now, it would be tantamount to telling him that I've caused another major incident! If he finds out, wouldn't all my suffering be for nothing? Let's settle our own grudges as brothers! Let's not trouble him with scheming behind our backs!"
Qin Kou'er chuckled and said softly, "I've never heard of anyone talking about their own father like that!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er's gaze suddenly darkened, and she asked softly, "Lan Linxue, what kind of person is the Emperor really?"
"A bad person!" Lan Linxue said without thinking, "The worst person in the world."
Why do you say that?
"What kind of person wouldn't scheme against their own son's bones?!" At this point, Lan Linxue looked down at Qin Kou'er with great seriousness. "Kou'er, let me tell you, when you get to the capital, you must be very careful of my old man. Don't believe a word he says! If you believe even one, it's like countless traps are waiting for you! If you fall into one, you'll never recover for the rest of your life!"
