Abandon the emperor as a prisoner

It was night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the huge Prince Regent's Mansion was completely silent.

Xiao Luo came to Xiao Lan's room alone.

"Fifth brother, why don't you light the lamp?"

Xiao Lan's room was pitch black, it was obviously not time to fall asleep, and Xiao Luo also knew that Xiao Lan hadn't slept yet.

"Yeah, I'm going to..."

"I'll come!"

Xiao Luo lit up the oil lamp in the room for Xiao Lan. Against the background of the light, Xiao Lan's face was very pale, so pale.

Seeing Xiao Lan's appearance like this, Xiao Luo felt a faint tingling pain in his heart.

He knew that Xiao Lan's life was not good at all since the country was subjugated. Even if he is in the palace now, he is still dependent on others and trembling with fear.

"Second brother, why do you have the leisure to come to me? Don't you need to accompany the prince?" Xiao Lan asked softly.

Xiao Luo squeezed a wry smile from the corner of his lips, "Are...are you blaming me?"

Xiao Lan was taken aback, "What is Second Brother talking about? I was able to escape from Wanxiangju, thanks to Second Brother and the prince, I thank you before it's too late!"

Not wanting to delve into the truth and falsehood of Xiao Lan's words, Xiao Luo sighed softly, "Fifth brother, I have something to ask you."

"Second brother, please speak."

"Do you like Gu Mingzhou?"

Xiao Lan's eyes widened for a moment, Xiao Luo saw that Xiao Lan did not expect him to ask such a straightforward question.

"I...I..." Xiao Lan panicked, hesitating, "Second brother, what you are talking about..."

"If you really like Gu Mingzhou, then I will persuade you to choose someone else." Xiao Luoyu persuaded earnestly: "Gu Mingzhou, he...

He is no longer the Gu Mingzhou I knew 13 years ago. He is now the regent of the Tianshu Kingdom, with one man under one man and one man above ten thousand... Cruel, bloodthirsty, and ruthless

Affection……"

"How could it be?" Xiao Lan shook his head and retorted: "I think the prince is very kind to you, second brother!"

"Is he... nice to me?" Xiao Luo couldn't help but let out a sneer, "He beat me with a whip at his birthday banquet, and carved my back with a sword.

He also asked me to lick his shoes to beg for mercy in front of all civil and military officials of Tianshu Kingdom... He even branded the word 'dog' on me with a soldering iron, treating me as a slave

slave, treated me like a dog, tied me with an iron chain, stripped off my clothes and took me back to the old city of Yaoguang Country to parade in the streets..."

Following Xiao Luo's calm words, the blood on Xiao Lan's face receded inch by inch.

"Do you still think...he's been nice to me?"

"I……"

Tongue curled, Xiao Lan was speechless.

He said these words not only for Xiao Lan, but also for himself.

He must always remind himself not to forget what Gu Mingzhou did to him.

Outside the door, Gu Mingzhou's tall and straight figure cast a long and narrow shadow on the ground.

The moonlight shone on him, outlining a circle of cold and lonely silver light.

He knew that Xiao Luo stood outside the door alone after entering Xiao Lan's room, and he didn't know what he was waiting for.

Vaguely, he heard what Xiao Luo said to Xiao Lan. He did not regret the things he did to Xiao Luo, one by one, in his dictionary. right.

The two scissor-like sword eyebrows furrowed forcefully, and Gu Mingzhou felt an unconcealable uneasiness in his heart for some reason.

In the room, Xiao Luo recounted Gu Mingzhou's brutality to Xiao Lan, but what he recalled in his mind was Gu Mingzhou's meticulous care of him day and night after he was disabled.

Lightly closing his eyelids, Xiao Luo shook his head.

"Second brother..." Xiao Lan clasped his hands tightly, his palms were full of sweat, "I... I actually don't like the prince, the person he likes

It's you......"

Xiao Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed at himself, "He doesn't like me... the current Gu Mingzhou doesn't have the feeling of 'like' at all.

love...he just..."

"Just what?" Xiao Lan asked.

"It's just..." Xiao Luo was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.

He wanted to tell Xiao Lan that Gu Mingzhou just tortured him, abused him, and used him as a plaything.

But when these words came to his mouth, somehow they were stuck between his teeth and he couldn't say them.

"Fifth brother, I just hope you can understand that Gu Mingzhou is not a person worth entrusting to you for life." Xiao Luo brought the topic back on track in a timely manner.

"So I've said it all, I don't like the prince..."

"But you want him to like you, am I right?"

Geek!

Xiao Lan's heart turned somersault forcefully, and his face changed suddenly.

"me......"

Seeing that Xiao Lan panicked, Xiao Luo sighed heavily, "Since you entered the mansion, what do you think of Gu Mingzhou? Do you think that I, the elder brother, really can't tell?"

"..." Opening his mouth, Xiao Lan gasped.

"You don't like Gu Mingzhou, but you hope that Gu Mingzhou likes you, and you hope to be favored by Gu Mingzhou, so that you can gain a firm foothold in the palace, fly up the branches and become a phoenix..."

"Second brother, I..."

"You don't need to say anything." Xiao Luo stretched out his hand, and lightly touched Xiao Lan's pale lips with his fingertips that looked like peeling onion roots.

It is understandable for Xiao Lan to think so.

After experiencing so much pain and suffering, everyone hopes to have a stable place to stay, and to live a life of prosperity and wealth.
