Oh my god, can you play like this?

Although Gu Lanzhi knew the purpose of the Second Prince's visit, he said nothing and cooperated with the Second Prince in acting.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the Second Prince, then at the Fifth Prince who was talking quietly to Gu Shurui next to him.

"I think the Second Prince has a very good relationship with the Fifth Prince."

The Second Prince raised his eyes and looked at Gu Lanzhi, "My Lord, do you really think that I have a good relationship with my Fifth Brother?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded very sincerely, "Yes."

The second prince said nothing more, just smiled.

The intelligence Gu Lanzhi received said that the second prince was deep-minded and resourceful, and was the prince most likely to win the competition for the throne, so Gu Lanzhi was very wary of the second prince.

Looking at the series of reactions from the Second Prince, Gu Lanzhi felt that the Second Prince was even more unfathomable than the intelligence he had received.

He does have the potential to be an emperor. At least he does not show his emotions on his face, which makes him much better than that stupid Fifth Prince.

Suddenly he remembered the first time he met Li Beichen. Didn't Li Beichen come out of the Second Prince's Mansion that night? Since Li Beichen had to go to the Second Prince's Mansion in person, then this Second Prince must be extremely extraordinary.

Gu Lanzhi's vigilance towards the Second Prince reached its peak.

The Second Prince looked into the hall, patted the Fifth Prince lightly, and said with a smile: "You two have endless things to talk about when you meet. Let's go into the hall."

Gu Lanzhi yelled in his heart, and the Second Prince calmly gave the Fifth Prince some eye drops.

Now Gu Lanzhi has not yet broken off the engagement with the Fifth Prince. In name, the Fifth Prince's fiancée is still Gu Lanzhi, but he said this in front of Gu Lanzhi. Isn't this intentional?

Gu Lanzhi didn't think much of it. Anyway, he and the fifth prince would break off their engagement sooner or later. You, the second prince, can be so rude as you want, and Gu Lanzhi wouldn't care at all.

But the Fifth Prince looked at the Second Prince with some annoyance, and then glanced at Gu Lan hesitantly.

The Fifth Prince still hasn't completely given up on Gu Lanzhi. Although he knows that Gu Lanzhi looks down on him, the Fifth Prince always thinks that he can still fight for himself.

But the Fifth Prince didn't dare to show his emotions too much on his face. After all, Gu Shurui was still by his side, and he had to protect him no matter what. So the Fifth Prince could only try to convey his emotions to Gu Lanzhi with his eyes.

But Gu Lanzhi ignored the Fifth Prince and didn't even glance at him. The Fifth Prince could only look away awkwardly, and gave Gu Shurui a warm smile and said, "Let's go."

The two princes walked in front, and the two brothers of the Gu family walked behind.

As soon as these four people entered the hall, they attracted everyone's attention. Those who were quick-witted thought a lot in an instant, but they were all thousand-year-old foxes, so even if they thought of something, they would not show it.

The second prince and the fifth prince first appeared to be very easy-going and escorted the two brothers of the Gu family to their seats. Then they spoke to them briefly and then returned to their seats.

Gu Lanzhi is now a marquis, and his seat is very close to the front. Behind him are his two younger brothers.

The banquet had not started yet and the emperor had not arrived yet. Gu Jingcheng then dared to sit next to Gu Lanzhi and spoke to him in a low voice. Gu Shurui also put his ear close to listen.

Gu Jingcheng had already started learning martial arts. He had heard that some people understood lip reading, so he deliberately covered his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why do I feel that there is something wrong with the way the Second Prince looks at you?"

Gu Lanzhi looked at his younger brother in surprise. He really didn't realize that this little guy was not simple before!

"What do you think is wrong?"

Gu Lanzhi has psychic powers, so it is normal for him to sense that something is wrong with the Second Prince, but he, as a younger brother, is just an ordinary person, so his observation skills are truly extraordinary.

Gu Jingcheng thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "I can't explain it, but I just feel that he looks at you...something's wrong.

Brother, you'd better be careful with the Second Prince, he must have some intentions towards you."

Gu Lanzhi touched Gu Jingcheng's hair with satisfaction and changed the subject, "Have you ever thought about what you want to do when you grow up?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't know why Gu Lanzhi suddenly asked this question, but he still answered very solemnly, "Be an official and help my brother."

Gu Shurui smiled, "Little brother, you want to be an official when you grow up, just to help your brother? Not for your own future?"

Gu Lanzhi didn't say anything, but just smiled at Gu Jingcheng.

“Although my brother is a marquis now, there is not a single one of the civil and military officials in the court who is from our family. Even though my brother’s status as a marquis is incomparable to others, he is still isolated and helpless.

I don't want my brother to worry too much. Although my ability is very limited, I still want to help my brother. It's better than my brother bearing the pressure of the whole court alone."

Gu Lanzhi touched Gu Jingcheng's head again and said, "It's not good for children to be too sensible. You have your own life, and only you have the right to control your own life.

Don't change your thoughts and hobbies because of anyone, so that when you reach the end of your life, you can say with a clear conscience that you have no regrets in your life.

I am touched by your desire to help me, but I don’t want you to pursue a career in politics just to help me.

You are still young, so don’t decide on your future path so early. You should listen more, watch more, and feel more, so as to find the one you want and like most.

Don't let anyone change the direction of your life, understand?"

Gu Lanzhi gently touched Gu Jingcheng's head again, and then said: "Brother can stand in this court and be named a marquis, that is your brother's ability.

If I can't ensure that I stand steadily and firmly, then I can only say that your brother is not as skilled as others. Even if your brother falls, he has nothing to complain about.

In the same way, you should do the same and only make decisions that you will not regret. "

Although Gu Jingcheng was young, he understood Gu Lanzhi's words clearly, so Gu Jingcheng nodded seriously.

Gu Lanzhi saw Gu Jingcheng nodded, then turned to look at Gu Shurui, "You too, from now on don't make decisions that you will regret, understand?"

After listening to Gu Lanzhi's previous words, Gu Shurui's eyes were already slightly red.

No one has ever said such words to him. His mother has always told him "what you should do", "what you must do", "what you should do to make others like you" since he was a child. She never let him make his own choices.

If Gu Lanzhi hadn't come back, he might have always been at the mercy of his mother.

Now, hearing Gu Lanzhi also say to him, "From now on, don't make any decisions that you will regret," and letting him make all the choices himself, Gu Shurui felt really sad, warm, and at peace.
