Oh my god, can you play like this?

Hearing Gu Lanzhi making fun of him, Gu Shurui curled his lips and muttered, "I came to you because I'm not smart! If you teach me more, I'll understand!"

Watching Gu Shurui gradually turning back into the boy who followed his original body, Gu Lanzhi no longer knew how to treat this adopted brother.

He couldn't forgive Gu Shurui for the mistakes he made in the past on behalf of his original self, but Gu Lanzhi couldn't just ignore Gu Shurui now.

So Gu Lanzhi has complicated feelings towards Gu Shurui.

"Di Meng told the story of the Fifth Prince and you in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. This is a slap in the face of the Fifth Prince, the Emperor, and even the Dongshun Kingdom.

Do you think the emperor would not be angry with the fifth prince?"

"Of course he would be angry. After all, he made the emperor lose face!" Gu Shurui answered without hesitation.

“Since the emperor is already angry, the fifth prince still dares to come to our house to look for you blatantly.

Pay attention, it's you they're looking for, not me, and they're not shy about it at all, what do you think this means?"

"Um... explanation... explanation..."

Gu Lanzhi rolled his eyes at Gu Shurui and said, "Idiot, this means that the emperor already knows that I want to break off the engagement with the Fifth Prince, and he wants to give the engagement with the Fifth Prince to you."

"Ah? The emperor knows about this?" Gu Shurui widened his eyes in surprise, his face showing a nervous and frightened expression.

Gu Lanzhi rolled his eyes at Gu Shurui again, "Do you think the emperor is as stupid as you? If he wasn't smart, would he be able to sit on the throne?"

"Oh, then... then..." Gu Shurui lowered his eyes in a bad mood.

He originally thought that he would be very happy to hear that he could marry the fifth prince. After all, he could marry the person he loved.

But now that he had really heard it, why did he feel so depressed? Even his fear of the emperor knowing about his affair with the fifth prince faded.

Gu Lanzhi noticed that Gu Shurui's originally high spirits suddenly dropped, and he curled the corners of his mouth in understanding.

"Are you unhappy? You can be with your brother Yun!"

Gu Shurui glanced at Gu Lanzhi but said nothing and lowered his head again.

Gu Lanzhi didn't say anything else right away. Instead, he poured a cup of tea for Gu Shurui and pushed the tea in front of him before speaking softly.

"Shu Rui, if you don't want to be with the Fifth Prince, Third Brother will definitely ask the royal family to give up the engagement."

To be honest, before today, Gu Lanzhi felt that it didn't matter whether Gu Shurui was with the Fifth Prince or not, it wouldn't have much impact on Gu Lanzhi anyway.

The Fifth Prince is the person Gu Shurui likes and chose himself. Even if their life in the future is not happy, it is Gu Shurui's choice and there is nothing to regret.

But now, Gu Lanzhi doesn't want Gu Shurui to marry the fifth prince.

In Gu Lanzhi's opinion, Li Beichen is a huge variable.

If Li Beichen's action had not succeeded, and the current emperor was still the emperor, then there would be nothing to Gu Shurui's marriage to the fifth prince.

Even if Gu Shurui is not favored in the Fifth Prince's Mansion in the future, he will not live too badly. After all, he has the support of Marquis Gu Lanzhi!

But if Li Beichen's action succeeded, the Fifth Prince would either become a prisoner or be stripped of his status as a prince and become a commoner, exiled to the border.

If that were the case, Gu Shurui, as the Fifth Prince's wife, would have to accompany the Fifth Prince into exile.

How could Gu Shurui still have a good life!

Gu Shurui is a spoiled young man, and the Fifth Prince is an even more precious prince. How can these two endure the suffering of exile?

It is estimated that he will die before he even reaches the place of exile.

Besides, Gu Shurui was the only son of his third uncle, and Gu Lanzhi couldn't bear to see this only child suffer.

Gu Lanzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes fixed on a certain spot on the table, and spoke thoughtfully.

“Shu Rui, Third Brother knows that you haven’t thought about your future with the Fifth Prince yet, so let’s delay it for a while.

It would be better to cancel my engagement with the Fifth Prince as soon as possible, but regarding your relationship with the Fifth Prince, we can take a long-term view.

It's not us who are anxious now, but the royal family and the fifth prince."

At this point, Gu Lanzhi looked up at Gu Shurui and asked, "Do you think it's feasible?"

Gu Shurui heard Gu Lanzhi's words clearly, and a smile appeared on his face again.

I don’t know why, but when I heard my third brother ask him to drag it, Gu Shurui actually felt relieved!

"Okay! Rui'er will listen to Third Brother in everything." Just by hearing Gu Shurui's voice, you can tell that he is happy.

"Will you really listen to me?" Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui with amusement.

"Of course! I didn't listen to my third brother and suffered such a big loss. If I still don't listen, I will really be a fool." Gu Shurui smiled happily.

Gu Lanzhi snorted, suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Gu Shurui seriously and said, "Did the Fifth Prince say what time he will pick you up to go to the other courtyard tomorrow?"

"After the court session, go back home and change your clothes before coming back."

Gu Lanzhi nodded and said, "Just get along with the Fifth Prince as usual tomorrow, but if the Fifth Prince asks you for any promises or some substantive contact, you must not agree.

Avoid it if you can, hide if you can, do you understand what Third Brother means?"

Gu Shurui nodded heavily. "Brother San, don't worry! I know how to resist but also welcome. I know it all."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Although I don't know what your plans are, Third Brother, I won't hold you back."

Gu Lanzhi snorted again and rolled his eyes at Gu Shurui.

"You, just don't be so stupid as to send yourself directly to the Fifth Prince's bed."

Although Gu Shurui is a man, he can't be as open as Gu Lanzhi!

Hearing Gu Lanzhi's blunt words, Gu Shurui's face turned red at an extremely fast speed, and he shouted at Gu Lanzhi in frustration.

"You, you, you, you...you are my brother, you, you, you...how can you talk like that...you are simply...simply..."

Gu Shurui simply couldn't say anything.

Looking at Gu Shurui's face which had turned as red as a monkey's butt, Gu Lanzhi laughed particularly loudly.

"You, you, you...you are still laughing, you have no shame!" After saying that, he covered his face and ran away.

Seeing two people run away because of his teasing in one day, Gu Lanzhi laughed even louder and was in a particularly good mood.

It’s really fun to tease people!

Gu Lanzhi stopped laughing after laughing for a long time, but the smile on his face still did not disappear, because the figure of that person appeared in front of him.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the sky outside the window and complained in his heart, "Why isn't it getting dark soon? It's better to flirt with beauties when the moon is dark and the wind is strong!"
