Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 97 is the Emperor's choice of backup number 2 for himself

Gu Shurui saw that Gu Lanzhi really didn't understand what he was saying, so he said in a gentle voice: "If it wasn't because I did something wrong before, Fifth Brother would just ignore me. Even if we met face to face, Fifth Brother would just turn around and leave."

At this point, Gu Shurui sighed in shame, "Brother, if you hadn't come back, Xiaowu wouldn't have spoken to me for more than half a year.

The last time we had dinner together, it was the first time Xiaowu spoke to me in more than half a year."

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really didn't know about this, but Gu Lanzhi could understand Gu Jingcheng.

Although they all have the surname Gu, brothers born from the same mother are different from other brothers after all. It is normal for them to be close to each other and distant from each other.

Gu Lanzhi patted Gu Jingcheng on the shoulder and said, "It is a great honor to admit your mistakes and make improvements. It's all in the past and things will get better slowly.

Xiaowu is still a child, so don't bear a grudge against him."

"Hate him? How is that possible! I did something wrong, Xiaowu just ignored me, why should I hate him?"

Gu Lanzhi patted Gu Shurui's shoulder with satisfaction, "Be sensible! We are all brothers, and what's done is done."

"What are you two talking about?" Gu Jingcheng came up to them and asked.

Gu Lanzhi raised his hand and placed it on Gu Jingcheng's shoulder. Before Gu Lanzhi could say anything, Gu Jingcheng quickly took Gu Lanzhi's arm off his shoulder, straightened Gu Lanzhi's clothes, and began to teach Gu Lanzhi a lesson like a little adult.

"You are a marquis now, you can do whatever you want at home, no one will talk about you, but where are we now?

This is in the palace, how can you still behave so rudely? Be careful that someone who doesn't like you will report you to the emperor!"

Gu Lanzhi looked speechlessly at his younger brother who was just ten years old, and then looked at Gu Shurui beside him with a look of despair.

Gu Shurui pursed his lips and tried to suppress his smile.

Gu Jingcheng looked at his brother who then looked at his fourth brother, and Gu Jingcheng also looked at Gu Shurui.

"Am I wrong?"

"Yes, yes, what I said is absolutely right, brother, you better be good and listen to me." Gu Shurui began to reprimand Gu Lanzhi very wisely.

Looking at the two brothers, Gu Lanzhi really couldn't help it and burst into laughter, "Hahahaha".

When Gu Shurui heard his brother's laughter, he couldn't help it, but he didn't dare to laugh as loudly as Gu Lanzhi. He could only laugh with his head down. However, the rapid shaking of his shoulders told everyone how happy he was laughing.

"What is so funny? Lord, are you willing to tell us brothers about it?"

Gu Lanzhi stopped laughing and saw the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince walking towards them. It was the Second Prince who had just spoken.

The three brothers of the Gu family quickly calmed down their emotions and saluted the second prince and the fifth prince.

The Fifth Prince first glanced at Gu Lanzhi. Gu Lanzhi could clearly feel the unwillingness in his eyes, but Gu Lanzhi just smiled and looked at the Fifth Prince without saying anything.

"Rui'er, what's so funny? Tell us about it."

The Fifth Prince was already clear that Gu Lanzhi could not possibly have anything to do with him. Ever since he had spoken to the Emperor in the Imperial Study, he had thought about everything that had happened since Gu Lanzhi returned to the capital. He also summoned all his advisers and ordered them to tell the truth.

The counselors looked at each other and carefully told the Fifth Prince their true thoughts.

Since then, the Fifth Prince has completely given up on thinking about Gu Lanzhi.

So now the Fifth Prince has put all his energy on Gu Shurui. He is very afraid that it will be like what his father said, and he will not be able to keep anyone in the end.

Gu Shurui glanced at Gu Lanzhi, who smiled and nodded to him. Gu Shurui glanced at Gu Jingcheng again, and then he spoke to the Fifth Prince with a smile.

"My brother and I are laughing at my younger brother!"

"Oh?" The fifth prince looked at Gu Jingcheng with great interest. The second prince also withdrew his gaze from Gu Lanzhi and looked at Gu Jingcheng.

"The younger brother is teaching his older brother a lesson!" Gu Shurui was still laughing as he spoke, and it was obvious that he hadn't laughed enough!

"Teach the Marquis a lesson?" This time the Second Prince was really interested.

In the second prince's opinion, it is always the elder brothers who teach the younger brothers, but how can the younger brothers teach the elder brothers?

Besides, Gu Lanzhi is now the Marquis! How dare a little kid like Gu Jingcheng teach the Marquis a lesson? The Second Prince expressed his doubts.

"Yes! Fifth brother said that brother's words and deeds were inappropriate, saying that this is the palace, not at home. At home, brother can do whatever he wants, but in the palace, brother should be more careful."

Gu Shurui did not say what Gu Jingcheng said, "Be careful that someone who doesn't like you may report you to the emperor."

Gu Shurui is not stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say.

After saying this, Gu Shurui laughed twice more before continuing, "Your Highnesses, you didn't see the expression on my face when I taught my elder brother a lesson. It was really funny!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed again.

After hearing this, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince also looked at Gu Jingcheng with a smile.

Gu Jingcheng's face remained calm, but his little ears were already completely red.

"You, stop laughing at me, can't you see that I am embarrassed?

My little brother is much more sensible than the two of us, why are you still laughing?" Gu Lanzhi spoke up to help his little brother out.

It would have been fine if Gu Lanzhi didn't come to the rescue, but when he did, Gu Jingcheng's little face started to turn red.

Gu Shurui laughed even louder.

Gu Lanzhi slapped Gu Shurui in anger and said in a serious tone, "Stop laughing!"

Gu Shurui quickly stopped laughing, but everyone could see that he was obviously trying not to laugh.

This time it was Gu Jingcheng's turn to be speechless. He rolled his eyes at Gu Lan, bowed to the two princes, and entered the hall first.

The remaining four people all looked at the small figure and laughed secretly.

"My Lord, the relationship between you two brothers is truly enviable!" The Second Prince said with emotion, but his voice was so low that only Gu Lanzhi could hear it.

Gu Lanzhi smiled at the Second Prince standing beside him and said, "Isn't it always like this between brothers, mocking and undermining each other?"

The second prince lowered his eyelids with a slightly lonely look, and said in a slightly melancholy voice: "Not all brothers are like this." After saying that, he glanced at the fifth prince.

How could Gu Lanzhi not see the Second Prince's hypocritical behavior? It was just that Gu Lanzhi didn't want to expose the Second Prince.

When Gu Lanzhi saw the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince walking up to them, his mind was already spinning at high speed.

He knew very well that the emperor would never let Gu Lanzhi escape from the royal family easily, so the second prince, whom Gu Lanzhi had never met, was the second backup chosen by the emperor for himself.
